5. This heater shall not be installed in a bedroom
or bathroom unless installed as a vented ap-
pliance (see Installing Damper Clamp Acces-
sory for Vented Operation, page 11).
6. Before installing in a solid fuel burning fire-
place, the chimney flue and firebox must be
cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes, and loose
paint by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creo-
sote will ignite if highly heated. A dirty chim-
ney flue may create and distribute soot within
the house. Inspect chimney flue for damage.
If damaged, repair flue and firebox before op-
erating heater.
7. Do not burn solid-fuel in a masonry or UL127
factory-built fireplace in which a vent-free
room heater is installed.
8. If fireplace has glass doors, never operate this
heater with glass doors closed. If you operate
heater with doors closed, heat buildup inside
fireplace will cause glass to burst. Make sure
there are no obstructions across openings of
fireplace.
9. This log heater is designed to be smokeless.
If logs ever appear to smoke, turn off heater
and call a qualified service person. Note: Dur-
ing initial operation, slight smoking may oc-
cur due to log curing and heater burning manu-
facturing residues.
10. To prevent the creation of soot, follow the instruc-
tions in Cleaning and Maintenance, page 23.
11. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet
cleaner, or similar products, turn heater off. If
heated, the vapors from these products may
create a white powder residue within burner
box or on adjacent walls or furniture.
