GENERAL INFORMATION
Note: Installation and repair should be per-
formedbyaqualifiedserviceperson.Theappli-
anceshouldbeinspectedannuallybyaqualified
professional service technician. More frequent
inspections and cleanings may be required due
to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding mate-

Provide adequate clearances around air open-
ings and adequate accessibility clearance for
service and proper operation. Never obstruct
the front openings of the appliance.
These appliances are designed to operate on
natural or propane gas only.
This installation manual will help you obtain a
safe, efficient, dependable installation for your
appliance and vent system.
Please read and understand these
instructions before beginning your
installation.
Electronic appliances are designed to operate
on natural or propane gas. An electronic inter-
mittent pilot ignition system provides safe, ef-
ficient operation. External electrical power is
recommended to operate these units. If the
systemoperates on linevoltagewith 3V adapt-
ers, two (2) "D" batteries can be used as a
backup in case of a power outage. The elec-
tronicappliancecanbeoperatedsolelywithtwo

In selecting the location, the aesthetic and
functional use of the appliance are primary
concerns.However,ventsystemroutingtothe
exterior and access to the fuel supply are also
important. Consideration should be given to
traffic ways, furniture, draperies, etc., due to
