READ and UNDERSTAND all instructions carefully
before starting the installation. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
these installation instructions may result in possible fire
hazard and will void the warranty.
Prior to the first firing of the fireplace, READ the
Owner's Information section of this manual.
DO NOT USE this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately, CALL a qualified service technician
to inspect the unit and to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control that has been under water.
THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL.
Installation and repair should be PERFORMED by a
qualified service person. The appliance and venting
system should be INSPECTED before initial use and at
least annually by a professional service person. More
frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, bedding, etc. It is IMPERATIVE that
the unit's control compartment, burner, and circulating
air passageways BE KEPT CLEAN to provide for
adequate combustion and ventilation air.
Always KEEP the appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
NEVER OBSTRUCT the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance CLEAR
of all obstacles and materials for servicing and proper
operation.
Due to the high temperature, the appliance should
be LOCATED out of traffic areas and away from
furniture and draperies. Clothing or flammable material
SHOULD NOT BE PLACED on or near the appliance.
Children and adults should be ALERTED to the
hazards of high surface temperature and should
STAY AWAY to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young
children should be CAREFULLY SUPERVISED when
they are in the same room as the appliance.
This unit MUST be used with a vent system as
described in this installation manual. NO OTHER vent
system or components MAY BE USED.
NOTE: When operating your new fireplace for the first time, some vapors may be released due to the burning
of curing compounds used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could cause
the flames to be the full height of the firebox, or even slightly higher, for the first few hours of operation. It is also
possible that these vapors could set off any smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapors are
quite normal on new appliances. We recommend opening a window to vent the room. After a few hours use, the
vapors will have disappeared and the flames will be at their normal height.
