ODYSSEY SERIES FIREPLACE WITH GAS LOG SET
WARNING!
CAUTION:
2. Negative Air Pressure Within the Structure
This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate
ventilation is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace
system. Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of the
fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to
environmental conditions, down drafts, tight sealing
construction of the structure, or mechanical exhausting
devices which create a negative air pressure within the
structure where the fireplace is located
3. Outside Air
A damper control handle allows individual control of the
outside air inlets if your fireplace is equipped with this
option. Use of outside air for combustion is highly
recommended to conserve heated air within the structure
and to provide make up air to keep the fireplace venting
properly.
4. Before operating this appliance, have a qualified
technician:
Review proper placement of logs, rock wool and
vermiculite.
Check wiring.
Check air shutter adjustment.
Ensure there are no gas leaks.
Ensure the glass is sealed and in proper position.
Ensure the flow of combustion and ventilation air is
not obstructed.
