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.
10. This unit complies with ANSI Z21.91.2001 ventless
firebox enclosures for gas-fired unvented decorative
room heaters.
11. Do not install heater in a bathroom or bedroom.
12. Correct installation of the ceramic fiber logs, proper
location of the heater, and annual cleaning are
necessary to avoid potential problems with soot-
ing. Sooting, resulting from improper installation
or operation, can settle on surfaces outside the
fireplace. See log placement 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. Ceil-
ing fans may create drafts that alter burner flame
patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur.
14. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce
combustion byproducts 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 appliance which can produce odors. It
is recommended to minimize the use of candles,
incense, etc. while the vent-free appliance is in
operation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should
be located out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies.
2. 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 apli-
ance.

rial on or near the appliance.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for ser-
vicing an appliance, must be replaced prior to

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 at least annually by a professional
service person. More frequent cleaning may
be required due to excessive lint from carpet-
ing, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that
control compartments, burners and circulating
air passageways be kept clean.

of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the
flu with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If
you have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately.
