ance (see Installing Damper Clamp Accessory

for Vented Operation, page 11).

6. 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 flue for damage.

If damaged, repair flue and firebox before

operating heater.

7. Do not burn solid-fuel in a masonry or UL127

factory-built fireplace in which a vent-free

room heater is installed.

heater with glass doors closed. If you operate

heater with doors closed, heat buildup inside

fireplace will cause glass to burst. Make sure

there are no obstructions across openings of

fireplace.

9. This log heater is designed to be smokeless. If

logs ever appear to smoke, turn off heater and

call a qualified service person. Note: During

initial operation, slight smoking could occur

due to log curing and heater burning manu-

facturing residues.

10. To prevent the creation of soot, follow the instruc-

tions in Cleaning and Maintenance, page 20.

11. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet

cleaner, or similar products, turn heater off.

If heated, the vapors from these products may

create a white powder residue within burner

box or on adjacent walls or furniture.

12. This heater needs fresh, outside air ventilation to

run properly. This heater has an oxygen depletion

sensing (ODS) pilot light safety system. The

ODS shuts down the heater if not enough fresh

air is available. See Air for Combustion and

Ventilation, page 5. If heater keeps shutting off,

see Troubleshooting, page 22.

• where flammable liquids or vapors are used

or stored

• under dusty conditions
