DANGER: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
wARNING: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE: Addresses practices not related to personal injury.
An unvented room heater having an input rating of more than
6,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bathroom
An unvented room heater having an input rating of more than
10,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bedroom or bath-
room.
Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where a gas log set is in-
stalled.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out
of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the
appliance.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high
surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in
the same room as the appliance.
This unit complies with ANSI Z21.11.2 Unvented Heaters and it
also complies with ANSI Z21.60 Decorative Vented Appliances
for Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. State or local codes may only
allow operation of this appliance in a vented configuration. Check
your state or local codes.
Correct installation of logs, proper location of the heater and
annual cleaning are necessary to avoid potential problems with
sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper installation or opera-
tion, can settle on surfaces outside the fireplace.
Avoid any drafts that could alter burner flame patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Do not place a
blower inside burn box area of firebox. Ceiling fans may create
drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Sooting and improper
burning will occur as a result of drafts.
WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns.
wARNING
when used without adequate combustion and ventilation
air, heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless,
poisonous gas.
Do not install heater until all necessary provisions
are made for combustion and ventilation air. Consult
the written instructions provided with the heater for
information concerning combustion and ventilation air.
In the absence of instructions, refer to the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, or applicable local codes.
This heater is equipped with a PILOT LIGHT SAFETy SySTEM
designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh air is
available.
DO NOT TAMPER wITH PILOT LIGHT SAFETy SySTEM!
If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh air.
If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner and

IMPORTANT SAFETy INFORMATION

WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert
or other accessory not approved for use with this heater.
Periodic examination and cleaning of the venting system of
the solid-fuel burning fireplace, including frequency of such
examination and cleaning, by a qualified agency.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA54.
NOTE: Installation and repair should be done by a qualified ser-
vice person. The appliance should be inspected before use and
at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, etc. It is imperative that the control compart-
ment, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance
be kept clean.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance
must be replaced prior to operating the appliance. Provide ad-
equate combustion and ventilation air.
The flow of combustion and ventilation air MUST NOT be ob-
structed.
Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the
combustion chamber and adequate accessibility clearance for
servicing and proper operation. NEVER obstruct the front open-
ing of the appliance.
An unvented room heater intended for installation in a solid-fuel
burning fireplace shall comply with the following instructions.
A fireplace screen must be in place when the appliance is
operating and, unless other provisions for combustion air are
provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction
of combustion air.
Solid-fuels shall not be burned in a masonry or UL 127 factory-
built fireplace in which an unvented room heater is installed.
Any glass doors shall be fully opened when the appliance is in
operation.
Any outside air ducts and/or ash dumps in the fireplace shall be
permanently closed at time of appliance installation.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the
burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.
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 chimney cleaner.
control compartment clean.
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.
