Planning
Planning the installation is an important first step. It will save
time and money later in the actual installation. In planning the
installation, consider:
• Where the heater will be located.
• All components needed to complete the installation.
• DO NOT use this heater in sleeping quarters, mobile
homes, or in recreational vehicles.
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service
person.
• DO NOT use this heater if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified technician to inspect the appli-
ance and replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
• When used as an unvented heater, always ensure there
is adequate ventilation from the room where the appliance is
operating. This appliance is equipped with an ODS (oxygen
depletion sensor) pilot light safety system designed to shut off
the appliance if enough fresh air is not available.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE USED WITH GLASS
DOORS IN A CLOSED POSITION .
Keep the burner and control compartment clean. See installa-
tion and operating instructions supplied with the heater.
WARNING: During manufacturing, fabricating and ship
-
ping, various components of this appliance are treated
with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemi
-
cals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke
and smells as they are burned off during the initial opera-
tion of the appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye
or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occur-
rence. The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours
with the burner at its highest setting. Provide maximum
ventilation by opening windows, doors and the chimney
flue to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining
after this initial break-in will be slight and will disappear
with continued use.
This appliance operates as an unvented domestic room
heater when fitted to a masonry or factory-built wood-burn
-
ing fireplace with the flue damper closed, or as a decorative
appliance when the flue damper is fully open. It must not be
used for any other purpose and must be fitted in a masonry or
factory-built fireplace or ventless firebox enclosure.
State, provincial or local codes may only allow operation of
this appliance in a vented configuration. Check your state or
local codes. If unvented room heaters are not permitted, the
fireplace vent damper must be locked at the minimum vent
area required by local codes or by the National Fuel Gas
Code (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, latest edition).
When installed as a Decorative Gas Appliance for in
-
stallation in a solid-fuel burning fireplace, a minimum
permanent free opening of 29 square inches must be
maintained with a fixed damper stop provided with the
appliance. Minimum flue size for this appliance is 29
square inches.
