INTRODUCTION

Millivolt appliances have a millivolt gas
control valve with piezo ignition system. If
any optional accessories that will require
electrical power are to be installed, the
electrical power must be provided at the
time of appliance installation.
Electronic appliances are designed to
operate on natural or propane gas. An
electronic intermittent pilot ignition system
provides safe, efficient operation. External
electrical power is required to operate
these units. In the event of a power outage,
four (4) "AA" batteries (in battery holder)
provide backup power for appliance
operation (excluding [optional] blower).
These vented gas fireplace heaters
are sealed combustion, air-
circulating gas fireplaces designed for
residential applications.
Approved Vent Components
These fireplaces are designed, tested and
listed for operation and installation with the
following vent components only:
• Secure Vent
Components manufactured by Security
Chimneys International,
• Secure Flex
manufactured by Security Chimneys
International, and
• Z-FLEX
listed to UL1777 and ULCS635
manufactured by Flexmaster
Canada Limited.
Use only the correct size venting (4 1/2 in.
inner and 7 1/2 in. outer).
These approved vent system components
are labeled for identification. DO NOT use
any other manufacturer's vent components
with these appliances.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING
Young children should be
carefully supervised when
they are in the same room
as the appliance. Toddlers,
young children and others may
be susceptible to accidental
contact burns. A physical
barrier is recommended if
there are at-risk individuals in
the house. To restrict access
to a fireplace or stove, install
an adjustable safety gate to
keep toddlers, young children
and other at risk individuals
out of the room and away from

est recommandé d'installer
une barrière physique si des
personnes à risques habitent
la maison. Pour empêcher
l'accès à un foyer ou à un
poêle, installez une barrière
de sécurité; cette mesure
empêchera les tout petits,
les jeunes enfants et toute
autre personne à risque
d'avoir accès à la pièce et aux
surfaces chaudes.
NOTE: Children and adults should be alerted
to the hazards of high surface temperature
and should stay away to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
Remarqué : Les enfants et les adultes
devraient être infor-més des dangers
que posent les températures de surface
élevées et se tenir à distance afin d'éviter
des brûlures ou que leurs vêtements ne
s'enflamment.
