Important Safety and Operating Information (continued)
OWNER
Please retain these instructions for future reference

WARNING
• Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.
• Improper installation or use of the heater can cause serious injury or death from re, burns, explosion
or carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Do not allow fans to blow directly into the replace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame patterns.
• Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory, not approved for use with
this heater where applicable.
1. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of trac and away from furniture and
draperies.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard
of high surface temperature and should stay away
to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
3. Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room with the appliance.
4. Do not place clothing or other ammable material
on or near the appliance.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing
an appliance, must be replaced prior to operating
the heater.
6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualied service person. To prevent malfunction and/or
sooting, an unvented gas heater should be cleaned
before use and at least annually by a professional
service person. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It is imperative that control com-
partments, burners and circulating air passageways
be kept clean.
7. WARNING: Any change to this heater or its controls
can be dangerous.
8. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone
heater. They are not intended to be the primary
heating appliance.
9. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the u with
headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these
signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Have the heater
serviced as it may not be operating properly.
10. The installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.l/NFPA54.
11. This unit complies with ANSI Z21.11.2 Unvented
Heaters, latest edition.
12. Do not install the heaters in a bathroom or bedroom.
13. Correct installation of the glass media, optional stone
and ceramic ber logs, proper location of the heater,
and annual cleaning are necessary to avoid potential
problems with sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper
installation or operation, can settle on surfaces outside
the replace. Refer to log placement instructions for
proper installation.
14. Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into replace. Do not place
a blower inside burn area of rebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will occur.
15. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce
combustion by-products including soot. Vent-free
appliances will not lter or clean soot produced by
these types of products. In addition, the smoke and/
or aromatics (scents) may be reburned in the vent-free
appliance which can produce odors. It is recommended
to minimize the use of candles, incense, etc. while the
vent-free appliance is in operation.
16. This heater shall not be installed in a room or space
unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is
provided by the method described in the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International
Fuel Gas Code or applicable local codes.
17. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids.
18. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living
area. In most homes of average construction, this
does not pose a problem. In houses of extremely
tight construction, additional mechanical ventilation is
recommended.
19. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various
components of this appliance are treated with certain
oils, lms or bonding agents. These chemicals are not
harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells
as they are burned o during the initial operation of the
appliance; possibly causing headaches or eye or lung
irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last three to four
hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide
maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to
allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this
initial break-in period will be slight and will disappear
with continued use.
20. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for
elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000
feet, input ratings should be reduced 4 percent for each
1,000 feet above sea level. Refer to the National Fuel
Gas Code.
21. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pres-
sures in excess of 1⁄2 psig (3.5 kPa).
22. The appliance must be isolated from gas supply piping
system by closing its equipment shuto valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1⁄2 psig (3.5 kPa).
23. Do not use this room heater if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualied 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.
24. Never burn solid fuels in a replace where a unvented
room heater is installed.
