Pacific Energy VISTA CLASSIC Installation And Operating Instructions Manual - Contents
PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT SMOKE DETECTORS BE INSTALLED.
If smoke detectors have been previously installed, you may notice that they are operating more frequently. This may
be due to curing of stove paint or fumes caused by accidentally leaving the fi re door open. Do not disconnect the
detectors. If necessary, relocate them to reduce their sensitivity.
SAFETY NOTICE: If this stove is not properly installed, a house fi re may result. For your safety, follow the installa-
tion instructions. Contact local building or fi re officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in
your area.
Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to follow instructions may
result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
