WARNING
• THIS APPLIANCE IS HOT WHEN OPERATED AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS IF CONTACTED.
• Do not operate appliance before reading and understanding operating instructions. Failure to operate
appliance according to operating instructions could cause fire or injury.
• Risk of fire or asphyxiation do not operate appliance with fixed glass removed.
• Do not connect 110 volts to the control valve.
• 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 and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal
edges may be sharp.
• Do not burn wood or other materials in this appliance.
• 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.
• Ensure you have incorporated adequate safety measure to protect infants/toddlers from touching hot
surfaces.
• Even after the appliance is out, the glass and/or screen 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 or guard removed for servicing 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.
• Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified.
• 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.
• Do not strike or slam shut the appliance glass door.
• 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.
• Only doors / optional fronts certified with the unit 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.
• 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.
• 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 of decorations, a T.V. or other electronic components.
