IMPORTANT
Read these instructions carefully before installing or trying to operate this vent-free gas heater.
11. Do not install the heaters in a bathroom or bedroom.
1. Correct installation of the ceramic fiber logs, proper loca-
tion of the heater, and annual cleaning are necessary to
avoid potential problems with sooting. Sooting, resulting
from improper installation or operation, can settle on sur-
faces outside the fireplace. See log placement instructions
for proper installation.
13. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place
a blower inside burn area of firebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Sooting and
improper burning will occur.
14.
Caution:
Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce com-
bustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free appliances
will not filter or clean soot produced by these types of
products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics (scents)
may be reburnt in the vent-free appliance 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. Provisions for ade-
quate combustion and ventilation air must be provided.
See page 8.
16. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materi-
als, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
17. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater.
They are not intended to be the primary heating appli-
ance.
18. 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.
