• Some parts of the fireplace are extremely hot, par-
ticularly the glass window. Use the barrier screen
provided with the trim or a gate to reduce the risk of
severe burns.
• The glass windows can exceed 500°F at full capacity.
• Always keep the appliance clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
• Be aware of hot wall surfaces! The wall directly above
the fireplace can get very hot when the fireplace
heats. Although safe, it may reach temperatures in
excess of 200ºF depending on choice of trims or op-
tional accessories. Do not touch!
• Be aware of hot hearth/floor surfaces! The hearth or
floor directly in front of the fireplace can get very hot
when the fireplace heats. Although safe, they may
reach temperatures in excess of 200º F depending on
elevation of hearth. Do not step on it! Temperature
of hearth/floor surface will be reduced when barrier
screen is installed.
• Solid wood flooring in front of the fireplace (if al-
lowed) may shrink during the heating season
due to heat.
• Some materials or items, although safe, may discolor,
shrink, warp, crack, peel, and so on because of the
heat produced by the fireplace. Avoid placing candles,
paintings, photos and other combustible objects
sensitive to heat or furniture within 36 inches (0.9m)
around the fireplace.
• Due to its high temperature, the appliance should be
located out of traffic areas and away from furniture
and draperies.
Barrier Screen and Safety
• Any safety screen, guard, or barrier removed for ser-
vicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operat-
ing the appliance
• Children and adults should be alerted to the 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 recom-
mended if there are at-risk individuals in the house.

Heater engines 1100MP is used with propane gas.
The supply pressure must be between the limits
shown in the Ratings section.
The supply connection is 3/8”
NPT male and located on the
right hand side of the firebox.
A shut-offvalve (not supplied)
is required on the supply line to
isolate the unit during service.
See Gas Supply on pages
51-52 for details.
Conversion Kits
The 1100M is supplied as natural gas or propane gas
and is field convertible between fuels. See instructions
packaged with the conversion kits for further
information.
Electrical
The 1100M is designed to run on battery power and
does not require an electrical power source to operate
as a heater. However, it requires electrical power
to operate optional 1195CFK Circulating Fan Kit, or
GV60WIFI WiFi module.
HeatShift™System
The 1100M is designed to allow the installation of
the optional HeatShift System, a convection system
that redistributes the warm air flow away from the
fireplace opening to a more desirable location using
natural convection, without use of a fan.
The warm air flow may be relocated to a position
higher up the wall, or even to another room. The
result is much cooler wall temperatures above the
fireplace opening for locating televisions, artwork, etc.
Please note that the framing and mantel clearances
are affected by the installation of the HeatShift
System. Refer to Appendix D - HeatShift System on
pages 83-101 for more information.
Outdoor Conversion Kit
The 1100M models are supplied standard for indoor
applications and may be adapted for installation
in specific “outdoor” applications protected from
weather as defined in the GV60CKO outdoor
conversion kit manual.
