heating system. Do not install this
heater as your primary heat source.
If you have a central heating system,

lector switch is in the OFF position
before installing heater.
WARNING: Any outside air ducts
and/or ash dumps in the fireplace
shall be permanently closed at time
of appliance installation.
WARNING: Seal any fresh air
vents or ash clean-out doors located
on floor or wall of fireplace. If not,
drafting may cause pilot outage

sealant. Do not seal chimney flue
damper.
WARNING: Before installing in
a solid fuel burning fireplace, the
chimney flue and firebox must be
cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and
loose paint by a qualified chimney
cleaner. Creosote will ignite if highly
heated. A dirty chimney flue may
create and distribute soot within the
house. Inspect chimney and firebox
flue for damage. If damaged, repair
