Safety Precautions
1. Please read these installation instructions completely before beginning installation procedures. Failure to follow them could cause a
fireplace malfunction resulting in serious injury and/or property damage.
2. Always check your local building codes prior to installation. The installation must comply with all local, regional, state and national codes
and regulations.
3. An adequate supply of replacement combustion air from outside the house must be available to the fire for the fireplace to operate
properly. To achieve this, the use of the optional outside air kit is highly recommended.
In the event the home is unusually tight, the optional outside air kit may not provide all the air required to support combustion. Hearth
Technologies Inc. is not responsible for any smoking or related problems that may result from the lack of adequate combustion air. It is the
responsibility of the builder/contractor to ensure that adequate combustion air has been provided for the fireplace.
The Odyssey Series fireplace is for installation in a room having a volume of at least 3,750 cubic feet.
4. The Odyssey Series fireplace with factory installed gas log set must be installed with the Hearth & Home Technologies SL300 Series
chimney system.
The chimney system must always terminate outside the building. Be sure to follow all chimney specifications given in these installation
instructions.
5. NEVER leave children unattended when there is a fire burning in the fireplace.
6. This fireplace is factory built to burn natural or propane gas. A gas conversion kit (to convert from natural gas to propane or propane to
natural gas) is not available for the Odyssey Series fireplace. The Odyssey must be purchased from the factory as either natural gas or
propane. An optional wood conversion kit (ODYCKW) is available.
7. NEVER use starter logs, gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids in this fireplace. Keep any
flammable liquids a safe distance from the fireplace.
8. The flue damper must be open at all times when the fireplace is in use.
9. While servicing this fireplace, always shut off any electricity or gas to the fireplace. This will prevent possible electrical shock or burns.
Also, make sure the fireplace is completely cooled before servicing.
10. Due to high temperatures, the fireplace should be located out of traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies.
11. Solid fuels cannot be burned in a fireplace where the decorative gas appliance is installed.
12. In order to install Heatilator® fireplace models ODY42 and ODY42L in the state of Massachusetts, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
requires the following:
a. The damper must be removed.
b. This fireplace is not to be installed for use in a bedroom or bathroom.
