7. Do not burn solid-fuel in a masonry or UL127 factory-built
fireplace in which a vent-free room heater is installed.

doors closed. If you operate heater with doors closed, heat
buildup inside fireplace will cause glass to burst. Make sure
there are no obstructions across openings of fireplace.
9. This log heater is designed to be smokeless. If logs ever appear
to smoke, turn off heater and call a qualified service person.
Note: During initial operation, slight smoking could occur due
to log curing and heater burning manufacturing residues.
10. To prevent the creation of soot, follow the instructions in Clean-
ing and Maintenance, page 18.

products, turn heater off. If heated, the vapors from these prod-
ucts may create a white powder residue within burner box or
on adjacent walls or furniture.

This heater has an oxygen depletion sensing (ODS) pilot light
safety system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough
fresh air is available. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation,
