WARNING
When used without adequate combustion and ventilation air, heater
may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless, poisonous gas.
Do not install heater until all necessary provisions are made for
combustion and ventilation air. Consult the written instructions
provided with the heater for information concerning combustion
and ventilation air. In the absence of instructions, refer to the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable
local codes.
This heater is equipped with a PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYSTEM
designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh air is available.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYSTEM!
If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh air.
If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner and control
compartment clean.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with
headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, heater
may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater
serviced.
Some people – pregnant women, persons with heart or lung disease,
anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, those at high altitudes
– are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
The pilot light safety system senses the depletion of oxygen at its
location. If this heater is installed in a structure having a high vertical
dimension, the possibility exists that the oxygen supply at the higher
levels will be less than that at the heater. In this type of application,
a fan to circulate the structure air will minimize this effect. The use
of this fan will also improve the comfort level in the structure. When
a fan is used to circulate air, it should be located so that the air flow
is not directed at the burner.
• An unvented room heater having an input rating of more than
6,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bathroom
• An unvented room heater having an input rating of more than
10,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bedroom or bath-
room.
• Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where a gas log set is in-
stalled.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of
traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

• This unit complies with ANSI Z21.11.2 Unvented Heaters and it
also complies with ANSI Z21.60 Decorative Vented Appliances for
Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. State or local codes may only allow
operation of this appliance in a vented configuration. Check your
state or local codes.
• Correct installation of logs, proper location of the heater and annual
cleaning are necessary to avoid potential problems with sooting.
Sooting, resulting from improper installation or operation, can
settle on surfaces outside the fireplace.
• Avoid any drafts that could alter burner flame patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Do not place a blower
inside burn box area of firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that
alter burner flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will
occur as a result of drafts.
• WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns.
• WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or
other accessory not approved for use with this heater.
• Periodic examination and cleaning of the venting system of the
solid-fuel burning fireplace, including frequency of such examination
and cleaning, by a qualified agency.
• The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA54.
• NOTE: Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service
person. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least
annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may
be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material,
etc. It is imperative that the control compartment, burners and
circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance must
be replaced prior to operating the appliance. Provide adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
• The flow of combustion and ventilation air MUST NOT be ob-
structed.
• Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combus-
tion chamber and adequate accessibility clearance for servicing
and proper operation. NEVER obstruct the front opening of the
appliance.
• An unvented room heater intended for installation in a solid-fuel
burning fireplace shall comply with the following instructions.
• A fireplace screen must be in place when the appliance is operating
and, unless other provisions for combustion air are provided, the
screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction of combustion
air.
• Solid-fuels shall not be burned in a masonry or UL 127 factory-built
fireplace in which an unvented room heater is installed.
• Any glass doors shall be fully opened when the appliance is in
operation.
• Any outside air ducts and/or ash dumps in the fireplace shall be
permanently closed at time of appliance installation.
• WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the
burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.
• WARNING: Before installing in a solid-fuel burning fireplace, the
chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes
and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner.
