6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person.

7. 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 material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways be kept clean.

8. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of

carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu 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.

9. The installation must conform with local codes or, in

the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.l/NFPA54.

OWNER

Please retain these instructions for future reference

10. This unit complies with the latest revision of ANSI Z21.11.2 Unvented Heaters and also complies with ANSI Z21.60 Decorative Vented Appliances for Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. State and local codes may only allow operation of this appliance in a vented configuration. Check your state or local codes. For vented operation, see “Vented Instructions” in this manual.

11. Do not install the heaters in a bathroom or bedroom.

12. Correct installation of the ceramic fiber 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 fireplace. See log placement instructions for proper installation.

13. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not

allow fans to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place a blower inside burn area of firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur.

14. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce

combustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free appliances will not filter or clean soot produced by these types of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics (scents) may be reburnt 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.

15. This is an unvented gas-fired heater. It uses air (oxygen)

from the room in which it is installed. Provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided. See page 8.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Continued from page 3

16. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

25. Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where a unvented room heater is installed.

17. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater. They are not intended to be the primary heating appliance.

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, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off 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 two to three

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 pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

26. Always have a fireplace screen in place when the appliance is in operation and, unless other provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen must have an opening(s) for induction of combustion air.

Never connect unit to private (nonutility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

WARNING

We suggest that our gas hearth products be installed and serviced by professionals who are certiﬁ ed in the U.S. by the National Fireplace Institute (NFI) as Gas Specialists.

PLACING THE DECORATIVE ROCK

DO NOT sprinkle volcanic rock on the logs, around the pilot, or on or near burners. This may cause sooting. Place volcanic rock only on the ﬂ oor of the ﬁ replace. During initial operation of the new heater, burning logs will give off a paper burning smell and orange ﬂ ames will be present. Simply open the windows for a few hours to vent the

CAUTION

odor.

Flames from the pilot and burner should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed. In addition,

periodically check the flames visually during operation.

CHECKING THE PILOT FLAME The pilot ﬂ ame must always be present when the heater is in operation. It should just touch the top of the ther-

mocouple tip for natural. See Figure 33 for correct pilot flame.

If the pilot flame does not touch the thermocouple, then the main burner cannot function reliably. See Figure 34 for incorrect shape of pilot flame.

CHECKING THE BURNER FLAME

In normal operation at full rate after 15 minutes, the following ﬂ ame appearances should be observed:

Figure 35 - Correct Appearance of Rear Flames of Charred Timber

Burner will have a random pattern of yellow flames as shown in Figure 35. There should be glowing embers on the front

burner. Note: The front ﬂ ames and embers will be an opaque orange color during the burn off time.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Avoid any drafts that alter burner ﬂ ame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Do not place

a blower inside the burn area of the firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.

During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off 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 six 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 will be slight and will disappear with continued use.

This appliance must not be used with glass doors in the closed position. This can lead to pilot outages and severe sooting outside the fireplace. See Figure 3, page 10.
