INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY
INFORMATION
Thelin Hearth Products would like to thank you for
choosing our Echo Direct Vent Gas appliance.
Whether using natural gas or liquid propane gas,
please read the following safety information
thoroughly before installing or lighting the gas
heater. Improper installation will void warranty.
Incorrect installation and/or hook-up could result in
serious injury and even loss of life. Follow these
instructions closely and do not deviate from them
without the permission of licensed and trained
personnel knowledgeable of the installation and
operation of gas appliances.
If You Smell Gas:
Extinguish any open flame.
Do not light any appliance.
Do not plug in or unplug any electrical plug or
switch.
Open windows and vacate building.
Call gas supplier from a phone outside your house
or if unable to reach supplier, call fire department

Safety Check Before Installation
This appliance must be installed by a licensed and
qualified installer to prevent the possibility of
explosion. This instruction manual must be strictly
adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods or
compromise the installation in any way. Improper
installation will void the warranty and safety listing.
This appliance is approved for either natural gas or
LP (liquid propane) gas. Burning the incorrect fuel
will void the warranty and safety listing and could
cause extreme hazard. Ensure the proper gas valve
is installed for the fuel being used. The gas valve is
clearly marked natural gas or LP gas. This marking
can be found on the back of the stove above the gas
line. (See Figure 21).
Permit
Contact your local building officials and obtain a
permit before beginning installation. Notify your
insurance company and provide them with the
proper inspection documents indicating that the
appliance has been installed to code and inspected
and also passed inspection.
Flammables
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
liquids in the vicinity of the heater.
Airflow
Always keep control compartment and optional fan
air passageways free of lint and dust and
obstructions. Do not place clothing or other
flammable items on or near the heater. The heater
can be controlled by a thermostat and will come on
automatically if the thermostat option is hooked up
and utilized. Educate small children that external
portions of the heater are extremely hot! Young
children should be supervised if they are in the
same room with the heater.
Adequate air must be provided for combustion.
Safe Operation
Operate this heater in accordance with the
instructions in this manual. Light the pilot and
burner using built-in piezo lighter. Do not use
matches or any other lighting device external to
your appliance. If the pilot or main burner do not
light correctly, turn off the gas at the gas control
valve (see Figure 21), and call your dealer or
service person. If the flame becomes sooty, dark
orange in color, or extremely tall and lazy, do not
operate the heater. Call your dealer. Do not operate
the heater if any portion of the heater has been
submerged in water or any corrosion occurs. Do not
operate if you suspect any improper operation. Call
your dealer.
