WARNING
fire, burns, explosions, electrical shock and carbon monoxide poisoning.
This fireplace is a vented product. This fireplace must be properly installed by a qualified service person. The glass door
must be properly seated and sealed. If this unit is not properly
installed by a qualified service person with glass door properly
seated and sealed, combustion leakage can occur.
CAR BON M ONOX IDE P OISO NIN G: Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the
fireplace may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air
at once! Have the fireplace inspected and serviced by a qualified service person. 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 and natural gas are both odorless. An odormaking agent is added to each of these gases. The odor helps
you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to these gases
can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep
this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper
operation of this fireplace.
1. This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indi
cated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible
for use with other gases unless a certified kit is used.
2. For propane/LP fireplace, do not place propane/LP supply
tank(s) inside any structure. Locate propane/LP supply
tank(s) outdoors. To prevent performance problems, do not
use propane/LP fuel tank of less than 100 gal. capacity.
3. If you smell gas
• shut off gas supply.
• do not try to light any appliance.
• do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any

IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to
give off some expansion and/or contraction noises
during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar
noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger
or car engine.
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
It is not unusual for gas fireplace to give off some
odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the
manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated
during burn off — open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for
at least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. Place
the fan switch in the “OFF” position during this time.

PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the fireplace ON.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or
cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your Monessen gas fireplace to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing
of the paint and any undetected oil from themanufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated — open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your Monessen fireplace for a least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional
fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF” position during this time.

FRAMING FIREPLACE
It is best to build firebox framing AFTER the appliance is set in place. Refer to the dimensions for your fireplace on pages
10 through 12. The framing headers may rest on the top of the firebox standoffs.
The firebox may be installed directly on a combustible floor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. Do not place
firebox on carpeting, vinyl, or other soft floor coverings. It may, however, be placed on a flat wood, plywood, particle board,
or other hard surfaces. Be sure firebox rests on a solid continuous floor or platform with appropriate framing for support. No
cold air should enter room from under the firebox.
