DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
This fireplace must be installed by a qualified (cer-
tified or licensed) service person. It has a sealed
gas combustion chamber that uses a coaxial pipe
(pipe within a pipe and having the same center)
venting system. It brings in fresh air for combus-
tion through the outer pipe and combustion gases
are exhausted through the inner pipe. If the glass
door assembly and venting pipe are not properly
seated, connected and sealed, carbon monoxide
leakage (spillage) can occur.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with head-
aches, dizziness or nausea. If you have these signs,
the fireplace may not be working properly. Get
fresh air at once! Have fireplace serviced. Some
people are more affected by carbon monoxide than
others. These include pregnant women, people with
heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the
influence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.
Natural and Propane/LP Gas:
pane/LP gases are odorless. An odor-making agent
is added to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas
leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade.
Gas may be present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings.
Keep this manual for reference. It is your guide to
safe and proper operation of this fireplace.

this fireplace or its controls can

er insert, heat exchanger insert
