IMPORTANT: Read this
owner’s manual carefully and
completely before trying to
assemble, operate, or service
this heater. Improper use of
this heater can cause serious
injury or death from burns,
fire, explosion, electrical
shock, and carbon monoxide
poisoning.

SAFETY INFORMATION WARNINGS

DANGER: Carbon monoxide

poisoning may lead to death!

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu with
headaches, dizziness, or nausea.
If you have these signs, the heater
may not be working properly. Get
fresh air immediately! Have heater
serviced. Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than
others. These include pregnant
women, people with heart or lung
disease or anemia, those under the
influence of alcohol, and those
at high altitudes.
Propane/LP Gas: Propane/LP gas
is odorless. An odor-making agent
is added to Propane/LP gas. The
odor helps you detect a Propane/LP
gas leak. However, the odor added
to Propane/LP gas can fade. Pro­pane/LP gas may be present even

though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and under-

stand all warnings. Keep this manual
for reference. It is your guide to safe
and proper operation of this heater.

WARNING: Any change to

this fireplace or its controls can
be dangerous.

WARNING: Do not allow fans to

blow directly into the heater. Avoid any
drafts that alter burner flame patterns.
Ceiling fans can create drafts that al­ter burner flame patterns. Altered
burner patterns can cause sooting.

Do not place clothing or other
flammable material on or near the
appliance. Never place any objects
in the fireplace.

Due to high temperatures, the
appliance should be located out of
traffic and away from furniture
and draperies.

WARNING: Do not use acces-

sories not approved for use with
this heater.

Carefully supervise young children
when they are in the room with
fireplace.

You must operate this heater with
the heater screen in place. Make
sure heater screen is in place
before running heater.

Keep the appliance area clear and
free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.

1. This appliance is only for use
with the type of gas indicated
on the rating plate. This
appliance is not convertible for
use with other gases.

2. Do not place Propane/LP
supply tank(s) indoors.

3. If you smell gas
l

Shut off gas supply.

l Do not try to light any appliance.
l Do not touch any electrical switch;

do not use any phone in your
building.

l Immediately call your gas supplier

from a neighbor’s phone. Follow
the gas supplier’s instructions.

l If you cannot reach your gas

supplier, call the fire department.

4. This heater shall not be installed
in a bedroom or bathroom.

5. Do not use this heater as a
wood-burning heater. Use only
the logs provided with the heater.

6. Do not add extra logs or ornaments

such as pine cones, vermiculite, or

rock wool. Using these added items
can cause sooting. Do not add lava
rock around base. Rock and debris
could fall into the control area of
heater. After servicing, always
replace screen before operating
heater.

7. You must operate this heater with

the heater screen in place. Make
sure heater screen is in place
before running heater.

8. This heater is designed to be

smokeless. If logs ever appear to
smoke, turn off heater and call a
qualified service person.
Note: During initial operation, slight
smoking could occur due to log
curing and heater burning
manufacturing residues.

9. To prevent the creation of soot,

follow the instructions in the

Cleaning and Maintenance

Section,

page 10.

10.Before using furniture polish, wax,

carpet cleaner, or similar products,
turn heater off. If heated, the
vapors from these products may
create a white powder residue
within burner box or on adjacent
walls or furniture.

11.This heater needs fresh air

ventilation to run properly. This
heater has an Oxygen Depletion
Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff
system. The ODS shuts down the
heater if not enough fresh air is
available. See the

Air for Combustion

and Ventilation

Section, pages 4
through 5. If heater keeps shutting off,
see

Troubleshooting

, pages 11

through 12.

12. Do not run heater

l Where flammable liquids or vapors

are used or stored.

l Under dusty conditions.

13.Do not use this heater to cook
food or burn paper or other objects.

14. Do not use heater if any part has
been under water. lmmediately call
a qualified service technician to
inspect the room heater and to
replace any part of the control
system, and any gas control which
has been under water.

Heater becomes very hot when
running fireplace. Keep children and
adults away from hot surfaces to
avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Fireplace will remain hot for a time
after shutdown. Allow surfaces to
cool before touching.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall

not be installed in a confined space
or unusually tight construction
unless provisions are provided for
adequate combustion and ventila­tion air. Read the following in­structions to insure proper fresh
air for this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from
National Fuel Gas Code,

NFP A 54/

ANSZ 223.1.Section 5.3

, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one
of the three following ventilation
classifications:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconfined Space

3. Confined Space
The information on pages 4 through
5 will help you classify your space
and provide adequate ventilation.

Confined and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANS
Z223.1

defines a confined space as
a space whose volume is less
than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per
hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggre­gate input rating of all appliances
installed in that space and an
unconfining space as a space
whose volume is not less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour
(4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances in­stalled in that space. Rooms com­municating directly with the space
in which the appliances are
installed*, through openings not
furnished with doors, are consid­ered a part of the unconfined
space.

This heater shall not be installed
in a confined space or unusually
tight construction unless provisions
are provided for adequate com­bustion and ventilation air.
* Adjoining rooms are communi­cating only if there are doorless
passageways or ventilation grills
between them.

Unusually Tight Construction

DETERMINING FRESHAIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space

Use this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways
or ventilation grills between the rooms.

1. Determine the volume of the space (length

×

width×height).

Length

×

Width×Height= cu.ft. (volume of space)

Example: Space size 20ft. (length)

×

16ft. ( width)×8ft. (ceiling height)=2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these
rooms to the total volume of the space.

2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.

(volume of space)÷50 cu. ft.=(Maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)÷50 cu.ft.=51.2 or 51,200(maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

The air that leaks around doors
and windows may provide enough
fresh air for combustion and
ventilation. However, in buildings of
unusually tight construction, you
must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is
defined as construction where:

a) walls and ceilings exposed to
the outside atmosphere have a
continuous water vapor retarder with
a rating of one perm ( 6×10

-11

kg per
pa-sec-m2) or less with openings
gasketed or sealed and
b) weather stripping has been
added on windows that open and
doors and
c) caulking or sealants are ap­plied to areas such as joints around
window and door frames, between
sole plates and floors, between wall­ceiling joints, between wall panels,
at penetrations for plumbing,
electrical, and gas lines, and at other
openings.
If your home meets all of the
three criteria above, you must pro­vide additional fresh air. See

Venti-

lation Air From Outdoors,

page 5

.

If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to
