3. For propane/LP fireplace, do not place propane/LP
supplytank(s) insideany structure. Locate propane/LP
supplytank(s) outdoors.To prevent performanceprob-
lems, do not use propane/LP fuel tank of less than 100
lbs. capacity.
4. If you smell gas:
•Shut off gas supply.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building .
• Immediatelycallyourgassupplierfromaneighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
5. Never install the fireplace:
• In a recreational vehicle
•Where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flam-
mable objects are less than 36" from the front, top,
or sides of the fireplace
•In high traffic areas
•In windy or drafty areas
6. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
7. This fireplace reaches high temperatures. Children
and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high
surface temperature and should stay away to avoid
burns or clothing ignition. Fireplace will remain hot
for a time after shutdown.Allow surfaces to cool before
touching.
8. Young children should be carefully supervised
when they are in the same room as the appliance.
Toddlers, young children and others may be sus-
ceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical
barrier is recommended if there are at risk individu-
als in the house. To restrict access to a fireplace
or stove, install an adjustable safety gate to keep
toddlers, young children and other at risk individu-
als out of the room and away from hot surfaces.
9. Clothing or other flammable material should not be
placed on or near the appliance.
10. When the appliance is installed directly on carpeting,
tileor other combustiblematerial other thanwood floor-
ing, you must set appliance on a metal or wood panel

system inspected annually by a qualified service
person.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This fireplace is a vented product. This fireplace must be
properly installed by a qualified service person. The glass
door must be properly seated and sealed. If this unit is not
properly installed by a qualified service person with glass
door properly seated and sealed, combustion leakage can
occur.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Earlysigns of carbon
monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu with headaches,
dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the fire-
place may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air
at once! Have the fireplace inspected and serviced by a
qualified service person. Some people are more affected
by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant
women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia,
those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high
altitudes.
Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An
odor-making agent is added to each of these gases. The
odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added
to these gases can fade. Gas may be present even though
no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep
thismanual for reference.It is yourguide to safeand proper
operation of this fireplace.
1. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional
service person. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, et cetera. It is imperative that
control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
2. 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.

to give off some expansion and/or contraction
noises during the start up or cool down cycle.
Similar noises are found with your furnace heat
exchanger or car engine.
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
CAREFULLY
Itis not unusual forgas fireplaceto give off some
odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the
manufacturing process.
Please ensurethat your roomis well ventilated
during burn off — open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace
for at least ten (10) hours the first time you use it.
Place the fan switch in the “OFF” position during
this time.

FIREPLACE CONTROLS COLD CLIMATE OPTION (IPI Models Only)
NOTE: If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks around
yourappliance and wherevercold air couldenter the room,
with noncombustible material. It is especially important to
insulate the outside chase cavity between the studs and
under the floor on which the appliance rests, if the floor is
above ground level.
Your fireplace is equipped with an intermittent pilot ignition
(IPI) control.An IPI control with a standing pilot option pro-
videsthedualbenefitof an economical and environmentally
responsible product and one which lights easily even in
the coldest climates. When in intermittent pilot mode (as
it comes from the factory), your pilot remains unlit until
needed, saving you fuel. Standing pilot mode, by com-
parison, is characterized by a continuously burning pilot.
The benefit of a pilot which lights only when needed is fuel
savings. However, with no pilot burning in your fireplace,
unitsoperating incolder climates may experience delayed
start up or lock out. Because colder air is heavier than
milder air and there is no pilot burning to maintain a warm
stable temperature in your firebox, establishing a draft to
aid ignition becomes difficult. This is perfectly normal but
can be somewhat frustrating.
To remedy thisissue,yourfireplacehasbeendesignedwith
a cold climate pilot option, which, when active, maintains
a warmer temperature inside your firebox to make ignition

faster and more efficient. Operating your appliance in cold
climate (aka standing) pilot mode will prohibit the need for
multiple ignition attempts and will prevent the system from
delaying start up or locking out.

WARNING
Follow these instructions carefully to
ensure safe installation. Failure to follow
instructions exactly can create a fire
hazard.
The appliance cannot be installed on a
carpet, tile or other combustible material
other than wood flooring. If installed on
carpet or vinyl flooring, the appliance

Ceiling and Side Wall Clearances FP3012
MANTEL CLEARANCES
NOTE: The combustible area above the facing must not
protrude more than 3/4" (19 mm) from the facing. If it
does, it is considered a mantel and must meet the mantel
requirements listed in this manual.
FIREPLACE LOCATION
Plan for the installation of your appliance. This includes
determining where the unit is to be installed, the vent con-
figuration to be used, framing and finishing details, and
whether any optional accessories (i.e. blower, wall switch,
or remote control) are desired. Consult your local building
codeagencytoensure compliance with localcodes,includ-
ing permits and inspections.
The following factors should be taken into consideration:
• Clearancetoside-wall,ceiling,woodwork,andwindows.
Minimum clearances to combustibles must be main-
tained.
• This fireplace may be installed along a wall, across a
corner, or use an exterior chase. Refer to Figure 4 for
suggested locations.
• Location should be out of high traffic areas and away
fromfurnitureand draperies dueto heat fromappliance.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.
• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other
flammable liquids may be stored.
• Vent pipe routing. See Venting section found in this
manual for allowable venting configurations.
• Theseunitscan be installedin a bedroom.SeeNational
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 — (current
