Safety Information and Warnings
WARNING: No other interior design media options are permitted for the Wilderness 44 series fireplaces.
WARNINGS: INSTALLING AND HANDLING MEDIA
Keep 1 inch around the pilot completely clear of any material.
Log media is fragile, handle with care.
DO NOT install the interior design media until fireplace installation is complete, the gas line is connected and tested for
leaks, and initial burner operation has been inspected and approved.
Media materials get very hot and will remain hot up to one hour after gas supply is turned off. Handle media only when
materials are cool.
If media is not installed according to the installation instructions, flame impingement and improper combustion may occur
and result in soot and/or excessive production of carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon monoxide is a toxic, colorless, and odorless
gas.
WARNING: The fireplace is not designed to burn real wood. Any attempt to do so could cause irreparable damage to
the fireplace and may result in property damage, personal injury and/or loss of life.
