IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

THIS IS A HEATING APPLIANCE
• You must operate fireplace with fireplace screen closed in
place. Do not close glass doors while operating heater.
• Do not place trash, logs or other articles on the log set
during operation.
• During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various
components of this appliance are treated with certain oils,
films or bonding agents. These bonding agents are not
harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells as
they are burned off during initial operation of the appliance.
This is a normal temporary occurrence. A window should
be opened during the initial bake out period.
• Correct installation of the logs, proper location of the
fireplace and annual cleaning are necessary to avoid
potential problems with sooting. Sooting, resulting
from improper installation or operation, can settle on
surfaces outside the fireplace. See instructions for proper
installation.
• WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into the
fireplace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame
patterns.
• WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger
insert or other accessory not approved for use with this
heater.
• WARnInG! This fireplace needs fresh air for ventilation
to operate properly. This fireplace has an oDS (oxygen
depletion sensor) which will shut off the fireplace if
adequate fresh air is not available.
• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO
DEATH.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with
headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs,
heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have
heater serviced.
Some people — pregnant women, persons with heart or lung
disease, anemia, those under the influence of alcohol , those at
high altitudes — are more affected by carbon monoxide than
others.
The pilot light safety system senses the depletion of oxygen at
its location. If this heater is installed in a structure having a high
vertical dimension, the possibility exists that the oxygen supply
at the higher levels will be less than that at the heater. In this type
of application, a fan to circulate the structure air will minimize
this effect. The use of this fan will also improve the comfort level
in the structure. When a fan is used to circulate air, it should be
located so that the air flow is not directed at the burner.
