obstruct the front opening of the appliance.
• Do not connect 110 volts to the control valve,
with the exception of models; GSST8 and
GT8.
• Risk of burns. The appliance should be turned off and cooled before servicing.
• Do not install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.
• Risk of cuts and abrasions. Wear protective gloves, protective footwear, and safety glasses during
installation. Sheet metal edges may be sharp.
• Do not burn wood or other materials in this appliance.
• Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing
and operating the appliance.
• High pressure will damage valve. Disconnect gas supply piping before pressure testing gas line at
test pressures above 1/2 psig. Close the manual shut-off valve before pressure testing gas line at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (35mb).
• The appliance must not be operated at temperatures below freezing (32°F / 0°C). Allow the appliance
to warm to above freezing prior to operation, with the exception of models; GSS36, GSS42; these
appliances are suitable for 0°F / -18°C.
• Children and adults should be alerted to hazards of high surface temperature and should 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 house. To
restrict access to an appliance 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.
• Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies.
• Furniture or other objects must be kept a minimum of 4 feet (1.22m) away from the front of the appliance.
• Ensure you have incorporated adequate safety measures to protect infants/toddlers from touching hot
surfaces.
• Even after the appliance is off, it will remain hot for an extended period of time.
• Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety screens and hearth guards to protect children
from hot surfaces. These screens and guards must be fastened to the floor.
• Any safety screen, guard or barrier removed for servicing the appliance, must be replaced prior
to operating the appliance.
• It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and circulating blower and its passageway in the
appliance and venting system are kept clean. The appliance and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required
due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. The appliance area must be kept clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• If the appliance shuts off, do not re-light until you provide fresh air. If appliance keeps shutting off, have it
serviced. Keep burner and control compartment clean.
• Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified.
• Do not allow wind or fans to blow directly into the appliance. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame
patterns.

safety information
!WARNING
• Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory not approved for use with this
appliance.
• This appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue pipe serving a separate solid fuel burning
appliance.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has
been under water.
• Do not operate the appliance with the glass door removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass
should be done by a licensed or qualified service person, if equipped.
• Do not strike or slam shut the appliance glass door, if equipped.
• Only doors / optional fronts certified with the appliance are to be installed on the appliance.
• Keep the packaging material out of reach of children and dispose of the material in a safe manner. As
with all plastic bags, these are not toys and should be kept away from children and infants.
• Carbon or soot should not occur in a vent free appliance as it can distribute into the living area of your
home. If you notice any signs of carbon or soot, immediately turn off your appliance and arrange to have
it serviced by a qualified technician before operating it again.
• If equipped, the screen must be in place (closed) when the appliance is in operation.
• When equipped with pressure relief doors, they must be kept closed while the appliance is operating
to prevent exhaust fumes containing carbon monoxide, from entering into the home. Temperatures of
the exhaust escaping through these openings can also cause the surrounding combustible materials to
overheat and catch fire.
• Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death; early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the appliance may not be working
properly. Get fresh air at once! Have appliance serviced. Some people; pregnant women, persons with
heart or lung disease, anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, those at high altitudes are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others. Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean
may result in sooting and property damage.
• As with any combustion appliance, we recommend having your appliance regularly inspected and
serviced as well as having a Carbon Monoxide Detector installed in the same area to defend you and
your family against Carbon Monoxide (not applicable for outdoor appliances).
• Ensure clearances to combustibles are maintained when building a mantel or shelves above the
appliance. Elevated temperatures on the wall or in the air above the appliance can cause melting,
discolouration or damage to decorations, a TV or other electronic components.
• For appliances equipped with a safety barrier; if the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier
shall be replaced with the manufacturer’s barrier for this appliance.
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. It is imperative that control
compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
• For outdoor products only: this appliance must not be installed indoors or within any structure that
prevents or inhibits the exhaust gases from dissipating in the outside atmosphere.
• If applicable, the millivolt version of this appliance uses and requires a fast acting thermocouple. Replace
only with a fast acting thermocouple supplied by Wolf Steel Ltd.
!
WARNING
!
Disconnect the appliance main gas valve/control
from the supply piping when pressure testing that
system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Isolate the appliance with it’s shut off valve during
any pressure testing of the supply piping at
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
FIRE RISK HAZARD / DELAYED IGNITION
High supply pressure will damage the valve / controls.
Add California Prop 65 warning
!
WARNING:
This product can expose you to chemicals including lead and lead compounds,
which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, and chemicals including carbon
monoxide, which are known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

standard checklist
1.0 general information
When the appliance is installed at elevations above 4,500ft (1372m), and in the absence of specific recommendations
from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each
additional 1,000ft (305m). Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal
and are to be expected. Change in flame appearance from “HI” to “LO” is more evident in natural gas than in
propane.
This appliance is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-sitting room installations and is certified for mobile
home installation.
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 certified kit is used.
The protective wrap on plated parts is best removed when the assembly is at room temperature but this can be
improved if the assembly is warmed, using a hair dryer or similar heat source.
This appliance is a decorative product. It is not a source of heat and not intended to burn solid fuel.
note:
Batteries must be disposed of according to the local laws and regulations. Some batteries may be
recycled, and may be accepted for disposal at your local recycling center. Check with your
municipality for recycling instructions.
