INSTALLER
Please leave these instructions with the appliance.
Read these instructions carefully before installing or trying to operate this vent-free gas heater.
• Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.
• Improper installation or use of the heater can cause serious injury or death from fi re,
burns, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Do not allow fans to blow directly into the stove. Avoid any drafts that alter burner
fl ame patterns.
• Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory, not approved
for use with this heater where applicable.
1. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and drap-
eries.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of
high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid
burns or clothing ignition.
3. Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room with the appliance.
4. Do not place clothing or other flammable material on
or near the appliance.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an
appliance, must be replaced prior to operating the
heater.
6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person.
7. To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented gas
heater should be cleaned before use and at least annually
by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning
may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding materials, etc. It is imperative that control
compartments, burners and circulating air passageways
be kept clean.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu with head-
aches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the insert may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air at
once! Have the insert inspected and serviced by a qualified service person. Some people are more affected by carbon
monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the
influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An odor-making agent is added to each of these gases. The odor
helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to these gases can fade. Gas may be present even though no
odor exists.
