of high surface temperature and should stay away to

avoid burns or clothing ignition.

draperies.

• Any change to this heater or its operating controls can

be dangerous. Improper installation or use of this

appliance can cause serious injury or death from fire,

burns, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon

monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu with head-

aches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these

signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Have the Vent-

Free Gas Heater serviced by a qualified technician

as it may not be operating correctly. 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.

• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an

appliance must be replaced and/or closed prior to

operating the heater.

• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified

service person. The appliance should be inspected

before use and at least annually by a professional ser-

vice person. More frequent cleaning may be required

due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material,

etc. It is important that control compartments, burners

and circulating air passageways of the appliance be

kept clean.

• This appliance is for installation only in a solid-fuel

burning masonry or UL 127 factory-built fireplace or in

a listed ventless firebox enclosure. It has been design

certified for these installations. Exception: DO NOT

install this appliance in a factory-built fireplace that

includes instructions stating it has not been tested

or should not be used with unvented gas logs.

disconnected from the gas supply piping system while

performing any tests of the gas supply piping system at

test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

• This appliance must not be operated without a fireplace

screen installed. Fireplace screens must not impair

the free flow of combustion air to the appliance.

instructions provided in this document will result in

an improperly installed and operating appliance,

voiding its warranty.

• The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply

piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off

valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply

piping system at test pressures equal to or less than

1/2 psig.

Excessive dust accumulation on the burner and/or

logs will increase the amount of carbon monoxide

formation and could lead to the formation of soot,

carbon monoxide poisoning and sickness or death.
