Safety and Warning Information
READ and UNDERSTAND all instructions carefully before
starting the installation. FAILURE TO FOLLOW these
installation instructions may result in possible re hazard
and will void the warranty.
Prior to the rst ring of the replace, READ the Owner’s
Information section of this manual.
DO NOT USE this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately, CALL a qualied service technician
to inspect the unit and to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control that has been under water.
THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL.
Installation and repair should be PERFORMED by a
qualied service person. The appliance and venting
system should be INSPECTED before initial use and at
least annually by a professional service person. More
frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding, etc. It is IMPERATIVE that the
unit’s control compartment, burner, and circulating air
passageways BE KEPT CLEAN to provide for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
Always KEEP the appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other ammable
vapors and liquids.
NEVER OBSTRUCT the ow of combustion and
ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance CLEAR
of all obstacles and materials for servicing and proper
operation.
Due to the high temperature, the appliance should be
LOCATED out of trafc areas and away from furniture and
draperies. Clothing or ammable material SHOULD NOT
BE PLACED on or near the appliance.
Children and adults should be ALERTED to the hazards
of high surface temperature and should STAY AWAY to
avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be
CAREFULLY SUPERVISED when they are in the same
room as the appliance.
This gas replace and vent assembly MUST be vented
directly to the outside and MUST NEVER be attached to a
chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
Each gas appliance MUST USE a separate vent system.
Common vent systems are PROHIBITED.
INSPECT the external vent cap on a regular basis to
make sure that no debris, plants, trees, shrubs are
interfering with the air ow.
The glass door assembly MUST be in place and sealed
before the unit can be placed into safe operation.
DO NOT OPERATE this appliance with the glass door
removed, cracked, or broken. Replacement of the glass
door should be performed by a licensed or qualied
service person. DO NOT strike or slam the glass door.
The glass door assembly SHALL ONLY be replaced as a
complete unit, as supplied by the replace manufacturer.
NO SUBSTITUTE material may be used.
DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners on the glass door
assembly. DO NOT ATTEMPT to clean the glass door
when it is hot.
TURN OFF the gas before servicing this appliance. It is
recommended that a qualied service technician perform
an appliance check-up at the beginning of each heating
season.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing MUST
BE REPLACED before operating this appliance.
DO NOT place furniture or any other combustible
household objects within 36” of the replace front.
BE CAREFUL not to put any decorating objects sensitive
to heat too close near or above the replace as it gets
very hot when operating.
DO NOT use this heater as a temporary source of heat
during construction.
This unit MUST be used with a vent system as described
in this installation manual. NO OTHER vent system or
components MAY BE USED.
Operating your replace for the rst time. When operating your new replace for the 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 ames to be the full height of the rebox, or even slightly higher, for the 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 ames will be at their normal height.
