OWNER
Please retain these instructions for future reference .
1. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traf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 appliance.
4. Do not place clothing or other ammable material
on or near the appliance.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing
an appliance, must be replaced prior to operating
the heater.
6. Installation and repair should be done by a quali-
ed service person. 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, bed-
ding materials, etc. It is imperative that control com-
partments, burners and circulating air passageways
be kept clean.
7. WARNING: Any change to this heater or its controls
can be dangerous.
8. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone
heater. They are not intended to be the primary
heating appliance.
9. 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, obtain fresh air immediately. Have the heater
serviced as it may not be operating properly.
10. The installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.l/NFPA54.
11. This unit complies with ANSI Z21.11.2 Unvented
Heaters, latest edition.
12. Do not install the heaters in a bathroom or bedroom.
13. Correct installation of the glass media, optional stone
and ceramic ber logs, 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. Refer to log placement instructions for
proper installation.
14. 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.
15. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce
combustion by-products including soot. Vent-free
appliances 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
appliance which can produce odors. It is recommended
to minimize the use of candles, incense, etc. while the
vent-free appliance is in operation.
16. This heater shall not be installed in a room or space
unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is
provided by the method described in the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International
Fuel Gas Code or applicable local codes.
17. Keep room area clear and free from combustible mate-
rials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids.
18. 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.
19. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various
components of this appliance are treated with certain
oils, lms or bonding agents. These chemicals are not

Good Faith Guidelines for TV Installaons above a Typical Gas Fireplace
Notes:
1. TV installation as shown requires the mantel be constructed entirely of noncombustible material
as it is below the allowable height for a combustible mantel.
2. These are good faith recommended clearances only and not a guarantee of compliance with all TV
manufacturers’ maximum allowable operating temperatures.
3. Since every home has unique air ow characteristics and maximum allowable operating temperatures
can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and from model to model, actual TV temperatures should be
validated at the time of each installation. TVs should not be used in situations where the actual TV
temperature exceeds the manufacturers’ maximum allowable operating temperatures identied in the
