CAUTION—HOT! HOT! HOT!
This appliance is a HEATING appliance and it becomes very hot when in operation.
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DO NOT PLACE any object, furniture, draperies or other item LESS THAN 36 inches (0.9 m) IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE.
CHILDREN and PETS Radiant heat heats surfaces such as the
glass and hearth in front of the fi replace 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 sensitive items such as televisions, paintings, decorations, etc. above fi replaces or near the edge of protrusions unless appropriate.

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 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.

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.
