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 and Propane/LP Gas:

Natural and pro-

pane/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.
