This heater shall not be installed in a confined
space or unusually tight construction unless provi-

NOTES
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
Installation and repair must be done by a qualified service
person or gas appliance installer.
The appliance must 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, dust and pet hair, etc. It is
important that the control compartment, burners and cir-
culating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
After servicing, always check for leaks.
DO NOT place clothing or other flammable material on
or near the appliance.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the NATIONAL FUEL GAS
CODE, ANSI Z223/NFPA 54, latest edition.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appli-
ance must be replaced prior to operating the heater.
DO NOT use this heater in recreational vehicles, bed-
rooms or bathrooms.
If this is the ONLY gas appliance, we recommend a
minimum 200 pound cylinder with a fill gauge. Use
of a 100 pound cylinder is not recommended. Other
household gas appliances may require the tank size
to be larger. Do not operate the vent-free heater if the
fuel level in the propane tank is below 1/4 full.
DO NOT use this heater if any part of it has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified technician to inspect the
appliance and replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
Check local, state or city codes to determine if un-
vented heaters are permitted.
This appliance may be installed in an after-market* manu-
factured “mobile” home where not prohibited by state or
local codes.
*After-market: Completion of sale, not for purpose of re-sale from the
manufacturer.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high
surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
To avoid irreparable damage to the appliance or personal in
-
jury; matches, paper, garbage or any other material must not
be placed or thrown on top of the logs or into the flames.
To avoid personal injury, do not touch hot surfaces when
the appliance is operating.
Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is being
operated near children.
This appliance is intended to be used only for supplemental
heat. Do not use it routinely as a primary heat source.
Continuous operation could produce excessive humidity de-
pending on construction characteristics and outdoor tempera-
tures (below 20°F). Over time, this could cause condensation
to form and damage wall structures and exterior paint.
WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat ex-
changer insert or other accessory not approved
for use with this heater.
WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into
the fireplace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner
flame patterns.
WARNING: During manufacturing, fabricating
and shipping, various components of this appli-
ance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding
agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may
produce annoying smoke and smells as they are
burned off during the initial operation of the appli-
ance, possibly causing headaches and eye/lung
irritation. This is a normal and temporary occur-
rence.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be
operated is smaller than that defined as an uncon-
fined space or if the building is of unusually tight
construction, provide adequate combustion and
ventilation air by one of the methods described in
the National Fuel Gas code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
WARNING: Do not install glass doors on this fire
-
place.
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 defines a confined space as a space whose
volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu
per hour (4.8m
3
per kw) of the aggregate input
rating of all appliances installed in that space and
an unconfined space as a space whose volume is
not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour
(4.8 m
3
per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all
appliances installed in that space. Rooms com-
municating directly with the space in which the
appliances are installed, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered a part of the
unconfined space.
