place, 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 and firebox for
damage. If damaged, repair flue before oper-
ating heater.

and call a qualified service person. Note: Dur-
ing initial operation, slight smoking could oc-
cur due to log curing and heater burning manu-
facturing residues.

tion to run properly. This heater has an Oxy-
gen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff
