• Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory, not
approved for use with this heater.
WARNING
1. Due to high temperatures, the heater should be located out of trac and away from furniture and
draperies.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high surface temperature and should stay
away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
3. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room with the heater.
4. Do not place clothing or other ammable material on or near the heater.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing a heater, must be replaced prior to operating the
heater.
6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualied service person. Do not modify or substitute any
part of this appliance.
7. To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented gas heater should be cleaned before use and
at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments,
burners and circulating air passageways be kept clean.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read these instructions carefully before installing or trying to operate this Vent Free gas heater.
G Series Linear Hearth Burner EuropeanHome.com
11. Correct installation of the re media, 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. See re media placement instructions for
proper installation.
12. WARNING: Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into
replace. Do not place a blower inside burn area of rebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter
burner ame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur.
13. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce combustion by-products including soot. Vent
free heaters will not lter or clean soot produced by these types of products. In addition, the smoke
and/or aromatics (scents) may be reburned in the vent free heater which can produce odors. It is
recommended to minimize the use of candles, incense, etc. while the vent free heater is in operation.
14. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and
liquids.
15. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater. They are not intended to be the primary
heating appliance.
16. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living area. In most homes of average construction,
this does not pose a problem. In houses of extremely tight construction, additional mechanical
ventilation is recommended.
17. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated
with certain oils, lms or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may produce
annoying smoke and smells as they are burned o during the initial operation of the heater; possibly
causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence. The initial
break-in operation should last two to three hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide
maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining
after this initial break-in period will be slight and will disappear with continued use.
18. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above
2,000 feet, input ratings should be reduced 4 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level. Refer to the
National Fuel Gas Code.
19. The heater and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa).

20. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment shuto
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
21. Do not use this room heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualied service
technician to inspect the room heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
22. This heater must not be used with glass doors in the closed position. This can lead to pilot outages
and severe sooting outside the replace.
23. Never burn solid fuels in a replace where an unvented room heater is installed.
24. Always have a replace screen in place when the appliance is in operation and, unless other
provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen must have an opening(s) for introduction of
combustion air.
25. All outside air ducts and/or ash dumps in the replace must be permanently closed prior to the
installation of the heater.
26. This appliance has been certied by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. to ANSI Z21.11.2b-2011, Unvented

INSTALLING the BURNER
20G Series Linear Hearth Burner EuropeanHome.com
INSTALLING THE FIRE MEDIA
Your G Series Linear Hearth Burner comes with two types of re media; crushed glass or Carrara pebbles.
First install the re media then the Embaglow.
The Fire Media
The contents of the bag of burner media should be spread to an even depth across the entire burner top.
The pilot ame should be clear of the re media by ¼”
Embaglow (Optional)
Note: Embaglow contains loose metal bers which may be sharp. You are advised to wear gloves while
installing it.
1. Remove the bunch of Embaglow from the package and tease out the bers until they form a very loose,
very light network.
2. Once the bers are prepared, place them where a glow is desired. Ensure that the metal bers are kept
away from the pilot light area as they can prevent ignition of the pilot light.
Although the bers have a long life, they will eventually deteriorate. If this becomes apparent, replacement
Embaglow can be purchased from your local replace retailer or European Home.
BEFORE THE FIRST FIRE
1. Make sure all ammable materials have been removed from inside and around the replace.
2. Conrm that the wiring is secure.
3. Check the gas supply for leaks.
4. Conrm the proper placement of the burner media.
