WARNING
When used without adequate combustion and ventilation air,
heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless, poisonous
gas.
Do not install heater until all necessary provisions are
made for combustion and ventilation air. Consult the
written instructions provided with the heater for information
concerning combustion and ventilation air. In the absence of
instructions, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or applicable
local codes.
This heater is equipped with a PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYSTEM
designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh air is
available.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYSTEM!
If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh air.
If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner and
control compartment clean.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the u, with
headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs,
heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have
heater serviced.
Some people – pregnant women, persons with heart or lung
disease, anemia, those under the inuence of alcohol, those
at high altitudes – are more affected by carbon monoxide than
others.
The pilot light safety system senses the depletion of oxygen at
its location. If this heater is installed in a structure having a high
vertical dimension, the possibility exists that the oxygen supply
at the higher levels will be less than that at the heater. In this type
of application, a fan to circulate the structure air will minimize
this effect. The use of this fan will also improve the comfort level
in the structure. When a fan is used to circulate air, it should be
located so that the air ow is not directed at the burner.

and it also complies with ANSI Z21.60 Decorative Vented
Appliances for Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. State or local
codes may only allow operation of this appliance in a vented
conguration. Check your state or local codes.
• Correct installation of burner, proper location of the heater
and annual cleaning are necessary to avoid potential
problems with sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper
installation or operation, can settle on surfaces outside the
replace.
• Avoid any drafts that could alter burner ame patterns. Do
not allow fans to blow directly into the replace. Do not place
a blower inside burn box area of rebox. Ceiling fans will
create drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Sooting and
improper burning will occur as a result of drafts.
• WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into the replace.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame patterns.
• WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert
or other accessory not approved for use with this heater.
• Periodic examination and cleaning of the venting system of
the solid-fuel burning replace, including frequency of such
examination and cleaning, by a qualied agency.
• The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54.
• NOTE: Installation and repair should be done by a qualied
service person. The appliance should be inspected before
use and at least annually by a qualied service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative
that the control compartment, burners and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an ap-
pliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
Provide adequate combustion and ventilation air.
• The ow of combustion and ventilation air MUST NOT be
obstructed.
• Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the
combustion chamber and adequate accessibility clearance
for servicing and proper operation. NEVER obstruct the front
opening of the appliance.
• An unvented room heater intended for installation in a
solid-fuel burning replace shall comply with the following
instructions.
• A replace screen must be in place when the appliance is
operating and, unless other provisions for combustion air are
provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction
of combustion air.
• Solid-fuels shall not be burned in a masonry or UL 127
factory-built replace in which an unvented room heater is
installed.
• Any glass doors shall be fully opened when the appliance
is in operation.
• Any outside air ducts and/or ash dumps in the replace shall
be permanently closed at time of appliance installation.
• WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of
the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property
damage.
