Installation - Superior FVFM27NR Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat. Use
this heater along with your primary
heating system. Do not install this
heater as your primary heat source.
If you have a central heating system,
you may run system's circulating
blower while using heater. This will
help circulate the heat throughout
the house. In the event of a power
outage, you can use this heater as
your primary heat source.
WARNING: A qualified service
person must install heater. Follow
all local codes.
NOTICE: State or local codes may
only allow operation of this appliance
in a vented configuration. Check your
state or local codes.
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 chim-
ney cleaner. Creosote will ignite
if highly heated. A dirty chimney
flue may create and distribute soot
within the house. Inspect chimney
flue and firebox for damage. If dam-
aged, repair flue and firebox before
operating 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
or sooting. Use a heat-resistant
sealant. Do not seal chimney flue
damper.

tion, page 6.
