OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Avoid any drafts that alter the burner flame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into the
heater. Do not place a blower inside burn area of fireplace. Ceiling fans may create drafts that
alter burner flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur.
This vent-free gas heater is intended to be smokeless. If logs appear to smoke, turn off the
heater and call a qualified service person. Initial burn off may cause slight smoke and odor
during the first four hours of operation.
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or
loss of life.

(page 23). When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
