monoxide poisoning are similar to the u with headaches,
dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the re-
place may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air
at once! Have the replace inspected and serviced by a
qualied service person. Some people are more affected
by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant
women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia,
those under the inuence of alcohol, and those at high
altitudes.
Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An
odor-making agent is added to each of these gases. The
odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added
to these gases can fade. Gas may be present even though
no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep
this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper
operation of this replace.
1. This appliance is only for use with the type of gas
indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not
convertible for use with other gases unless a certied
kit is used.
2. For propane/LP replace, do not place propane/LP
supply tank(s) inside any structure. Locate propane/LP
supply tank(s) outdoors. To prevent performance prob-
lems, do not use propane/LP fuel tank of less than 100
lbs. capacity.
3. If you smell gas
• shut off gas supply.
• do not try to light any appliance.
• do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building .
• immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

Read this homeowner manual thoroughly and follow all
instructions carefully. Inspect all contents for shipping
damage and immediately inform your dealer if any damage
is found. Do not install any unit with damaged, incomplete,
or substitute parts. Check your packing list to verify that all
listed parts have been received.
The following factors should be taken into consideration:
• This insert should have sufcient access for its safe
operation and maintenance.
• The ow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed.
• Minimum clearances to combustibles, such as mantels,
must be maintained. Refer to Pages 8 and 9, Figures 3
and 4.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the insert.
• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other
ammable liquids may be stored.
• These units can be installed in a bedroom. Refer to
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 (current
edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code (current edi-
tion), and Local Building Codes for specic installation
requirements.

When the unit is installed into a wood burning replace,
the minimum distance the mantel can be placed above the
replace is governed by local building codes applicable to
wood burning replaces. Consult local authorities having
jurisdiction for these clearances. The underside of the
mantel will become warm. Use only nishes which are heat

masonry replace or a tested and listed zero-clear-
ance (UL-127, solid fuel) replace. Repair any replace
damage prior to installation.
• Because the insert uses a circulation blower, clean the

 Please review the following carefully.
It is normal for inserts fabricated of steel to give off some
expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or
cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace
heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your insert to give off some odor the
rst time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.

Consult local building codes before beginning the installa-
tion. The installer must make sure to select the proper vent
system for installation. Before installing vent kit, the installer
must read this insert manual and vent kit instructions.
Only a qualied installer/service person should install vent-
ing system. The installer must follow these safety rules:
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.
• Use extreme caution when using ladders or when
on rooftops.
• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and
ceiling.
The following actions will void the warranty on your vent-
ing system:
• Installation of any damaged venting component.
• Unauthorized modication of the venting system.
• Installation of any component part not manufactured
or approved by Vermont Castings Group.
• Installation other than permitted by these instruc-
tions.
