If the information in these instructions are not followed
exactly, a fi re or explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or death.
Please read entire manual before you install and use your
heater.
This heater has not been tested with an unvented gas log set.
To reduce risk of fi re or injury, do not install an unvented gas
log set into the heater.
- This heater can be very hot when burning.
- Combustible materials such as fi rewood, wet clothing, etc.
placed too close can catch fi re.
- Children and pets must be kept from touching the heater when
it is hot.
- The chimney must be sound and free of cracks. Before
installing this unit, contact the local building or fi re authority

engine oil, etc.
- Do not burn treated wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper,
cardboard, solvents or garbage.
