Do not use this appliance if any part has been submerged under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the appliance and replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation.
The National Fuel Gas Code defines a confined space as a a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000
BTU per hour (4.8m3per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined
space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m3per kw) of the aggregate input rating
of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are
installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space, pro-
vide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1, 1992, Section 5.3.
This appliance is equipped with an ODS (oxygen depletion sensor) pilot light safety system that turns off the appliance if
there is not enough fresh air available. Additional ventilation is obtained by opening a door to another room or opening a
window.
Always ensure that there is proper ventilation from the area the system is operating in.
Any outside air ducts and/or ash dumps in the fireplace shall be permanently closed at time of appliance installation.
This appliance must be used with glass doors in the OPEN position.
A fireplace screen with an opening for combustion air must be in place when the appliance is operating, unless other
provisions for combustion air are provided.
IMPORTANT: During the manufacturing process, this appliance is treated with certain coloring agents. These agents are
not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke and smell as they are burned off. This is a temporary occurrence that
ceases after 10 hours of use. During the “burning off” period, provide ventilation by opening windows, door and the chim-
ney flue to allow odors to dissipate. Any remaining odors will burn off with continued use.
WARNING: This appliance cannot be converted to a gas other than the type for which it was made at the factory.
Operation of this appliance on gasses for which it is not equipped may be hazardous. See identification plate
for gas type designation.
UNPACKING
Unpack the appliance carefully and inspect for missing parts or damages that may have occurred during shipping. If any
part of the appliance is missing or damaged, please notify Sure Heat Manufacturing at [phone]. An incomplete
or damaged appliance may be hazardous. DO NOT INSTALL A DAMAGED OR INCOMPLETE APPLIANCE.
FIREPLACE PREPARATION
The fireplace needs to be properly prepared before installing this fireplace unit.
1. Turn off gas supply to the fireplace.
2. Clean chimney and fireplace floor of any combustible material to limit the smell from the system.
WARNING: Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned for soot, cre-
osote, ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner.
UNIT PLACEMENT
Place the entire burner system in the center of the fireplace to allow proper air flow on all sides of the unit.
GAS PIPING AND GAS PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS
Check the type of gas that is supplied to your fireplace. Use only the gas type indicated on the heater’s rating plate. If
the gas listed on the plate is not your type of gas supply, DO NOT INSTALL THE SYSTEM. Contact your dealer for the
proper model.

All gas piping must be installed to comply with local and national fuel gas codes. Do not use flexible hose unless it is
allowed by local codes. Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the action of LP gas.
The gas supply line to the fireplace should not be less than 1/2” inside dimension.
The gas supply must be of sufficient size to provide a minimum natural gas pressure of 7 inches water column for natural
gas or 11 inches for LP gas. The maximum inlet pressure to the appliance must not exceed 10 inches water column
for Natural Gas or 13 inches water column for LP gas. If this appliance is to be supplied with LP gas, the tank or bottle
supplying the gas must have a regulator that reduces gas pressure between 11and 13 inches water column.
Include a manual shut-off valve and union in the line so the appliance may be disconnected for servicing. Provide a 1/8”
NPT plugged tapping for pressure gauge connection between the shut-off valve and the appliance. Test for leaks using
soap and water solution after completing the connection. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME!
WARNING: The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5kPa). The appliance
must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG. Pressures in
excess of 1/2 PSIG will cause damage to the unit.
FIREPLACE CLEARANCES
To guarantee safe installation into a non-combustible fireplace, certain space requirements must be fulfilled.
1. The clearance from the side of the unit to any combustible wall should not be less than 15 1/2 inches.
2. The clearance from the ceiling to the top of the fireplace opening should not be less than 42 inches.
3. The minimum clearance to combustible items in front of the heater is 36 inches.
4. For any fireplace in which this unit is installed, there are certain mantel clearance requirements that must be met.
You must have non-combustible material(s) above the fireplace opening. Non-combustible materials (such as slate, marble,
tile, etc.) must be at least 1/2 inch thick. Some decorative fireplace surrounds (cultured marble) may get discolored from
the heat produced by the system. With sheet metal, you must have non-combustible material behind it. If non-com-
bustible material is less than 8”, you must install fireplace canopy (Model AMG-100)
