SAFETY INFORMATION AND WARNINGS
If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. A qualified installer, service agency or the supplier
must perform installation and services.
The direct-vent system appliance must be installed as an OEM installation in manufactured homes
(USA only), or an aftermarket permanently located, or a mobile home, where not prohibited by local
codes and must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, in the United States, or the Standard
for Installation in Mobile Homes, CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series, in Canada. This appliance is only for use
with the type(s) of gas indicated on the rating plate. A conversion kit can be supplied with the
appliance.
NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN OR ANY OTHER AT-RISK INDIVIDUAL(S) ALONE WITH THE APPLIANCE
State of California –Proposition 65 Warning : Fuels used in gas, wood-burning or oil-fired appliances,
and the products of combustion of such fuels, contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. California Health and Safety Code Section
25249.6
Due to elevated temperatures, the appliance should be located outside of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface
temperature and stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance.
Toddlers, young children, and others may be susceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier
is recommended if there are at-risk individuals in the home or business. To restrict access to a
fireplace or stove, install an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children, and other at-risk
individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.
This appliance must be electrically wired and grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 –latest edition or the Canadian
Electric Code CSA C22.1 A 110-120V AC circuit for this product must be protected with the ground-
fault circuit-interrupter protection, in compliance with the applicable electrical codes, when it is
installed in locations such as bathrooms or near sinks.
WARNING!

Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, wood burning or oil-fired appliances, and the products of
combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects and other reproductive harm. California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6. In the State of
Massachusetts, only a licensed plumber and gas fitter may install this product. See Note for the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
When an existing Category 1 heater is removed or replaced, the original venting system may no longer
be sized to properly vent the attached appliances. Instructions shall also indicate effects of an
improperly sized venting system (formation of condensate, leakage, spillage, etc.) and shall specify the
following test procedure.
WARNING Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard
Failure to follow the steps below for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed
into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death. The following steps shall be
followed for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all
other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:
1) Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2) Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1 and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction,
leakage, corrosion, and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3) As far as practical, close all building doors and windows, and all doors between the spaces
in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of
the building.
4) Close all fireplace dampers.
5) Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on
any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they are operating at
maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
WARNING!
!

9
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard Continued
6)Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected into operation, and adjust the
thermostat so appliance is operating continuously.
7)Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the draft hood relief opening after five
minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.
8)If improper venting is observed during any of these above tests, the venting system must be
corrected in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA and/or Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
9)After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents
when evaluated as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and
any other gas-fired burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

FIREPLACE OPERATION
Every indoor Flare Fireplace ship with a remote control and wall switch to operate the fireplace and its
features. These two items do not work in parallel with one another, so if you turn the fireplace on with
one it must also be turned off with that same option. *Home automation is also available by removing
the included wall switch and replacing it with a low voltage close-contact relay which can be tied into a
new or existing home automation system or smart device.
*Flare Fireplaces does not recommend the use of home automation with our fireplaces. Only operate the
fireplace when you can be in the same room as the high-powered gas appliance.
