4Safety Precautions

• IF YOU SMELL GAS:

* Do not light any appliance

* Extinguish any open flame

* Do not touch any electrical switch or plug or unplug anything

* Open windows and vacate building

* Call gas supplier from neighbor's house, if not reached, call fire department

• This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of

an explosion. Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can

inform you of those people considered qualified. The room heater 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.

• The instructions in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift

methods or compromise in the installation. Improper installation will void the

warranty and safety listing.

This heater is either approved for natural gas (NG) or for propane (LP). Burning

the incorrect fuel will void the warranty and safety listing and may cause an

extreme safety hazard. Direct questions about the type of fuel used to your dealer.

Check for a label on the flame adjust knob on the gas control valve (this is the best

place to check). You may also check for a label on the gas control valve body.

Ok

• Contact your local building

officials to obtain a permit

and information on any

installation restrictions or

inspection requirements in

your area. Notify your

insurance company of this

heater as well.

• If the flame becomes sooty,

dark orange in color, or

extremely tall, do not

operate the heater. Call

your dealer and arrange for

proper servicing.

• It is imperative that control

compartments, screens, or

circulating air passageways

of the heater be kept clean

and free of obstructions.

These areas provide the air

necessary for safe

operation. ?• Do not operate the heater if

it is not operating properly in

any fashion or if you are

uncertain. Call your dealer

for a full explanation of your

heater and what to expect.

start correctly turn the gas

off at the gas control valve

and call your dealer for

service.

• Instruct everyone in the

house how to shut gas off to

the appliance and at the gas

main shutoff valve. The gas

8Installation (for qualified installers only)

Installation Hints:

•If converting to LP, convert the appliance prior to installation.

•Install the logs last - they are fragile.

•When determining the location of the stove, locate the wall studs (for horizontal penetrations) and

ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure

the vent does not intersect with a framing member.

•Fumes and smoke from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel may occur the first time you start

this heater. This is normal. We recommend you open windows to vent the room.

Vent Requirements

•The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never

be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent

gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system.

•In addition to the requirements listed here, follow the requirements provided with the vent.

•When the vent passes through a wall a wall thimble is required. When the vent passes through a

ceiling a support box or firestop is required. When the vent passes through the roof, a roof flashing

and storm collar are required. Follow the instructions provided with the vent for installing these items.

NOTE: Wall thimbles may have different dimensions than what is required by this heater.

•The vent must maintain the required 1" clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire. Do not

fill air spaces with insulation.

Altitude Considerations

•Failure to adjust the air shutter properly

may lead to improper combustion

which can create a safety hazard.

Consult your dealer or installer if you

suspect an improperly adjusted air

shutter.

•This heater has been tested at

altitudes ranging from sea level to

6,000 feet (1,800 M). In this

testing we have found that the

heater, with its standard orifice,

burns correctly with just an air

shutter adjustment.

Use a firestop whenever

passing through a ceiling
