IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This replace is a vented product. This replace must
be properly installed by a qualied service person. The
glass door must be properly seated and sealed. If this
unit is not properly installed by a qualied service person
with glass door properly seated and sealed, combustion
leakage can occur.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the u with
headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these
signs, the replace 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
problems, do not use propane/LP fuel tank of less
than 100 lbs. capacity.

RecreationalVehiclesandMobileHousing,CSAZ240.4.
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
It is normal for replaces 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.
WARNING
Never connect unit to private
(non-utility) gas wells.  This gas is
commonlyknownaswellheadgas.
IMPORTANT:

PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the replace ON.
It is normal for replaces 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 MHSC gas replace to give off some odor the rst time it is burned. This
is due to the curing of the paint and any undetected oil form the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all widows.
It is recommended you burn your MHSC replace for at least 10 (10) hours the rst time you
use it. If the optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the "OFF" position
during this time.

FIREPLACE FRAMING
It is best to build the rebox framing AFTER the appliance is set in place. Refer to the dimen-
sions for your replace on Pages 10 through 12. The framing headers may rest on the top
of the rebox standoffs.
The rebox may be installed directly on a combustible oor or raised on a platform of an
appropriate height. Do not place rebox on carpeting, vinyl or other soft oor coverings. It
may however, be placed on a at wood, plywood, particle board or other hard surface. Be
sure rebox rests on a solid continuous oor or platform with appropriate framing for support.
No cold air should enter room from under the rebox.
