IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• 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
bathroom.
• Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where a gas log set is
installed.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out
of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
• Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the
appliance.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high
surface temperature, and should stay away to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in
the same room as the appliance.
• This unit complies with ANSI Z21.11.2 Unvented Heater 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 us 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 is required 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. Is 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
obstructed.
• Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the
combustion 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.
WARNING
When used without adequate combustion and ventilation
air, heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless,
poisonous gas.
This heater is equipped with a PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYSTEM
designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh air is available.
If heater shuts off, do not re-light until you provide fresh air. If
heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner and
control compartment clean.
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 high 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.
Do not install heater until all necessary provisions are made
for combustion and ventilation air. Consult the written instruc-
tions 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.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYSTEM!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH.
