NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat.
Use this heater along with your
primary heating system. Do not
install this heater as your pri-
mary heat source. If you have a
central heating system, you may
run system's circulating blower
while using heater. This will help
circulate the heat throughout the
house. In the event of a power
outage, you can use this heater
as your primary heat source.
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must install heater.
Follow all local codes.
NOTICE: State or local codes may
only allow operation of this appli-
ance in a vented configuration.
Check your state or local codes.
WARNING: Make sure the
selector switch is in the OFF
position before installing heater
(Remote-Ready Models Only).
WARNING: Before installing
in a solid fuel burning fireplace,
the chimney flue and firebox
must be cleaned of soot, creo-
sote, ashes and loose paint by
a qualified chimney cleaner.
Creosote will ignite if highly
heated. A dirty chimney flue may
create and distribute soot within
the house. Inspect chimney and
firebox flue for damage. If dam-
aged, repair flue and firebox
before operating heater.
