Please leave these instructions with the appliance.
Please retain these instructions for future reference
.
1. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of trafc and away from furniture and
draperies.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard
of high surface temperature and should stay away
to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
3. Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room with the appliance.
4. Do not place clothing or other ammable material
on or near the appliance.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing
an appliance, must be replaced prior to operating
the heater.
6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualied
service person.
7. To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented
gas heater should be cleaned 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, etc.
It is imperative that control compartments, burners
and circulating air passageways be kept clean.
12. Correct installation of the ceramic ber logs, proper
location of the heater, and annual cleaning are neces-
sary to avoid potential problems with sooting. Sooting,
resulting from improper installation or operation, can
settle on surfaces outside the replace. See log place-
ment instructions for proper installation.
13. Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into replace. Do not place
a blower inside burn area of rebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will occur.
14. : Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce
combustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free appli-
ances will not lter or clean soot produced by these
types of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aro-
matics (scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free appli-
ance which can produce odors. It is recommended to
minimize the use of candles, incense, etc. while the
vent-free appliance is in operation.
15. This is an unvented gas-fired heater. It uses air
(oxygen) from the room in which it is installed. Provi-
sions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must
be provided. Refer to Page 6.
16. This heater shall not be installed in a room or space
unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is
provided by the method described in the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International
Fuel Gas Code or applicable local codes.
17. Keep room area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and
liquids.
18. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater.
They are not intended to be the primary heating appli-
ance.
19. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living
area. In most homes of average construction, this
does not pose a problem. In houses of extremely
tight construction, additional mechanical ventilation is
recommended.
20. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various
components of this appliance are treated with certain
oils, lms or bonding agents. These chemicals are not
8. Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the u with
headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these
signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Have the heater
serviced as it may not be operating properly.
9. The installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.l/NFPA54.
10. This unit complies with the latest edition of ANSI
Z21.11.2 Unvented Heaters and also complies with
ANSI Z21.60 / CSA 2.26 Decorative Vented Appliances
for Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. State and local
codes may only allow operation of this appliance in a
vented conguration. Check your state or local codes.
For vented operation, see “Vented Instructions” in this
manual.
11. Do not install the heaters in a bathroom or bedroom.
DEB Unvented Gas Logs
444D0060
harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells
as they are burned off during the initial operation of the
appliance; possibly causing headaches or eye or lung
irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last two to three
hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide
maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to
allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this
initial break-in period will be slight and will disappear
with continued use.
21. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for
elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000
feet, input ratings should be reduced 4 percent for each
1,000 feet above sea level. Refer to the National Fuel
Gas Code.
22. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pres-
sures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
23. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its equipment shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa).
24. Do not use this room heater if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualied service technician
to inspect the room heater and to replace any part of
the control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
25. This appliance must not be used with glass doors in
the closed position. This can lead to pilot outages and
severe sooting outside the replace.
26. Never burn solid fuels in a replace where a unvented
room heater is installed.
27. Always have a replace screen in place when the
appliance is in operation and, unless other provisions
for combustion air are provided, the screen must have
an opening(s) for induction of combustion air.

The gas log heater is tted with a specially designed
safety pilot (ODS assembly) which senses the amount
of oxygen available in the room and shuts the gas log
heater off if the oxygen level begins to drop below
a satisfactory level. The pilot can only be relit when
adequate fresh air is available.
The millivolt gas log pilot is tted with a millivolt
(thermopile) generator to provide power for remote
activation.

The following are guidelines for placing a gas log set in
a replace that has a restrictive barrier along the bottom
front opening of the replace. Some examples of barri-
ers are glass/screen door frames and sunken/recessed
replaces.

Greater than 1Z\x” to 3” 16”
Greater than 3” *
*Any barrier greater than 3” placed in front of the gas log
set is not recommended by the manufacturer.
Non combustible material such as refractory brick
may be used to line the oor of the replace in order to raise
the height of the gas log set in relation to a restrictive barrier.
If the unit is raised, the minimum height dimension listed in
the homeowner’s manual must not be exceeded.
If the log set is equipped with a remote receiver, a
restrictive barrier may reduce the battery life by increasing
the ambient temperature inside the replace. Placement
of the receiver outside of the replace will extend the
battery life.
