to temperatures that, although approved
safe, are still dangerous to touch and
uncomfortable too step on. Young children
and pets must always be supervised when
in the room where the appliance is located.
The remote control handset should be kept
out of reach of children. To ensure safety,
we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you install
in front of the fi replace: a fi re screen or, to
protect young toddlers, a hearth gate—see Options on page 45.
HOT SURFACES
Be aware that, although safe, some combustible materials and fi nishes, even though
installed at listed clearances may, over time, discolor, warp or show cracks. The 1500
requires the installation of the cement board provided with the engine.
Convective heat will exit the unit and travel up the wall surface if not impeded. Protruding
mantels and projections can help direct the heat away from the wall. AVOID PLACING heat

Important Safety Information
HOT SURFACES. Be aware that, although safe,
some combustible materials and fi nishes, even
though installed at listed clearances may, over time,
discolor, warp or show cracks. The 1500 requires the
installation of the cement board provided with the
engine.
Convective heat will exit the unit and travel up the
wall surface if not impeded. Protruding mantels and
projections can help direct the heat away from the
wall. AVOID PLACING heat sensitive items such
as televisions, paintings, decorations, etc. above
fi replaces or near the edge of protrusions unless
appropriate.
Radiant heat can heat surfaces such as the hearth in
front of the fi replace to temperatures that, although
approved safe, can be quite uncomfortable to
touch or step on—particularly for children and pets.
Accessory screens and guards will reduce the
radiant heat on these surfaces.
Operating Your Fireplace for the First
Time
When operating your new fi replace for the fi rst time,
some vapors may be released due to the burning of
curing compounds used in the manufacture of the
appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could
cause the fl ames to be the full height of the fi rebox, or
even slightly higher, for the fi rst few hours of operation.
It is also possible that these vapors could set off any
smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room. After
a few hours use, the vapors will have disappeared and
the fl ames will be at their normal height.
State of California. Proposition 65
Warning.
Fuels used in gas, wood-burning or oil fi red appliances,
and the products of combustion of such fuels, contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause

Important Installer Notice –
Weather Sealing & Vapor Barriers
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that vent
installations through exterior walls are caulked and
weatherproofed in such a manner as to:
• Prevent rain water from entering the wall from
the weather side by adequately caulking the
outer vent plate to the exterior wall surface.
• Prevent moisture inside the home from
penetrating into the wall structure by ensuring
the inside wall plate is adequately sealed to the
inside vapor barrier.
• Prevent rain water and moisture from entering
the walls by sealing the joints between the outer
vent tube and the inner and outer wall plates.
We recommend the use of a high quality
polyurethane sealant.
