cessory for Vented Operation, page 12).
6. Do not burn solid-fuel in a masonry or UL127
factory-built fireplace in which a vent-free
room heater is installed.
7. Before installing in a solid fuel burning fire-
place, the chimney flue and firebox must be
cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint
by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote will
ignite if highly heated. A dirty chimney flue
may create and distribute soot within the
house. Inspect chimney flue and firebox for
damage. If damaged, repair flue before oper-
ating heater.
8. If fireplace has glass doors, never operate this
heater with glass doors closed. If you operate
heater with doors closed, heat buildup inside
fireplace will cause glass to burst. Make sure
there are no obstructions across openings of
fireplace.
9. This log heater is designed to be smokeless.
If logs ever appear to smoke, turn off heater
and call a qualified service person.
Note:
Dur-
ing initial operation, slight smoking could oc-
cur due to log curing and heater burning manu-
facturing residues.
10. To prevent the creation of soot, follow the
instructions in Cleaning and Maintenance,
page 23.
11. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet
cleaner, or similar products, turn heater off. If
heated, the vapors from these products may
create a white powder residue within burner
box or on adjacent walls or furniture.
12. This heater needs fresh, outside air ventila-
tion to run properly. This heater has an Oxy-
gen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff
system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not
enough fresh air is available. See Air for Com-
bustion and Ventilation, page 5. If heater keeps
shutting off, see Troubleshooting, page 25.

• where flammable liquids or vapors are used
or stored
under dusty conditions
14. Do not use this heater to cook food or burn
paper or other objects.

to or under water. Immediately call a quali-
fied service technician to inspect the room
heater and to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been
under water.
