• The appliance is a vented gas-fired appliance. Do not burn wood or other materials in the appliance
• It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and circulating blower and its passageway in the
appliance and venting system are kept clean. The appliance and its venting system 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 appliance area must be kept clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified.
• This appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue pipe serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.

well as having a Carbon Monoxide Detector installed in the same area to defend you and your family against
Carbon Monoxide.
• Ensure clearances to combustibles are maintained when building a mantel or shelves above the appliance.
Elevated temperatures on the wall or in the air above the appliance can cause melting, discolouration or
damage of decorations, a T.V. or other electronic components.
