SAFETy INFORMATION
WARNING: This product con-
tains and/or generates chemicals
known to the State of California
to cause cancer or birth defects
or other reproductive harm.
IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s
manual carefully and completely
before trying to assemble, operate
or service this log set. Improper use
of this log set can cause serious
injury or death from burns, fire,
explosion, electrical shock and
carbon monoxide poisoning.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
This fireplace must be installed by a qualified (cer-
tified or licensed) service person. It has a sealed
gas combustion chamber that uses a coaxial pipe
(pipe within a pipe and having the same center)
venting system. It brings in fresh air for combus-
tion through the outer pipe and combustion gases
are exhausted through the inner pipe. If the glass
door assembly and venting pipe are not properly
seated, connected and sealed, carbon monoxide
leakage (spillage) can occur.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with head-
aches, dizziness or nausea. If you have these signs,
the log set may not be working properly. Get fresh
air at once! Have log set serviced. 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.
Natural & Propane/LP Gas:
Natural & propane/LP
gas are odorless. An odor-making agent is added
to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas leak.
However, the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas
may be present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings.
Keep this manual for reference. It is your guide to
safe and proper operation of this fireplace.
