IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from parts before turning the fire-
place ON.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found
with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some
odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing
of the paint and any undetected oil from the manufac-
turing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated-
open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at
least ten (10) hours the first time you use it.
This appliance has been designed, certified and ap-
proved to be installed indoors only.
WARNING: Check with your electronics manufacturer
before installing a television or other electronic de-
vice above this fireplace.
13. This fireplace must not be connected to a chimney flue
serving a separate solid fuel burning fireplace.
14. When the fireplace is not in use it is recommended that the
gas control valve be left in the “OFF” position.
