• Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.
• Improper installation or use of the heater can cause serious injury or
death from fire, burns, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Avoid any drafts that
alter burner flame patterns.
• Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory, not
approved for use with this heater where applicable.
1. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard
of high surface temperature and should stay away
to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
3. Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room with the appliance.
4. Do not place clothing or other flammable material
on or near the appliance.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing
an appliance, must be replaced prior to operating
the heater.
6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person.
7. To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented
gas heater should be cleaned before use and at
least annually by a professional service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to ex-
cessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials, etc.
It is imperative that control compartments, burners
and circulating air passageways be kept clean.
10. This unit complies with ANSI Z1.11 Unvented Heaters
and also complies with ANSI Z1.60 Decorative Vented
Appliances for Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. State and
local codes may only allow operation of this appliance
in a vented configuration. Check your state or local
codes. For vented operation, see Vented Instructions
in this manual.
11. Do not install the heaters in a bathroom or bedroom.
1. Correct installation of the ceramic fiber logs, proper
location of the heater, and annual cleaning are neces-
sary to avoid potential problems with sooting. Sooting,
resulting from improper installation or operation, can
settle on surfaces outside the fireplace. See log place-
ment instructions for proper installation.
13. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place
a blower inside burn area of firebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will occur.
14. CAUTION: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce
combustion by-products including soot. Vent-free
appliances will not filter or clean soot produced by
these types of products. In addition, the smoke and/or
aromatics (scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free ap-
pliance which can produce odors. It is recommended
to minimize the use of candles, incense, etc. while the
vent-free appliance is in operation.
15. This is an unvented gas-fired heater. It uses air (oxy-
gen) from the room in which it is installed. Provisions
for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided. Page 6
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu with headaches,
dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the insert may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air at
once! Have the insert inspected and serviced by a qualified service person. Some people are more affected by carbon
monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the
influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An odor-making agent is added to each of these gases. The odor
helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to these gases can fade. Gas may be present even though
no odor exists.
8. For propane/LP insert, do not place propane/LP supply
tank(s) inside any structure. Locate propane/LP supply
tank(s) outdoors. To prevent performance problems,
do not use propane/LP fuel tank of less than 100
lbs. capacity.
9. The installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.l/NFPA54.
