INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat.
Use this heater along with your
primary heating system. Do not
install this heater as your pri-
mary heat source. If you have a
central heating system, you may
run system’s circulating blower
while using log heater. This will
help circulate the heat from your
log heater throughout the house.
In the event of a power outage,
you can use this heater as your
primary heat source.
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must install heater.
Follow all local codes.
NOTICE: State or local codes may
only allow operation of this appli-
ance in a vented configuration.
Check your state or local codes.
WARNING: Before installing
in a solid fuel burning fireplace,
the chimney flue and firebox must
be cleaned of soot, creosote,
ashes, and loose paint by a quali-
fied chimney cleaner. Creosote
will ignite if highly heated. A dirty
chimney flue may create and dis-
tribute soot within house. Inspect
chimney flue and firebox for dam-
age. If damaged, repair flue and
firebox before operating heater.
WARNING: Seal any fresh
air vents or ash clean-out doors
located on floor or wall of fire-
place. If not, drafting may cause
pilot outage or sooting. Use a
heat-resistant sealant. Do not
seal chimney flue damper.

less installed as a vented ap-
pliance (Variable Manually-
Controlled Models Only) (see

objects are less than 42 inches

CAUTION: This heater cre-
ates warm air currents. These

coverings or operating heater
where impurities (such as, but
not limited to, tobacco smoke,
aromatic candles, cleaning flu-
ids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.)
in the air exist, may discolor
walls or cause odors.

Vent-free heaters add moisture to
the air. Although this is beneficial, installing heater
in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause
mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air
for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 5 through 7.
