INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• If fireplace has glass doors,
never operate this heater with
glass doors closed. If you op-
erate heater with doors closed,
heat buildup inside fireplace
will cause glass to burst. Also
if fireplace opening has vents at
the bottom, you must open the
vents before operating heater.
• You must operate this heater
with a fireplace screen in place.
Make sure fireplace screen is
closed before running heater.
NOTICE: During initial operation of
new heater, burning logs will give
off a paper-burning smell. Orange
flame will also be present. Open
damper or window to vent smell.
This will only last a few hours.
Note: Home owners generally prefer to op-
erate their heater with the chimney damper
closed. This will put all the heat into the room.
However, there may be times you will desire
the full flames of the HI heat setting but will
find the heat output excessive. You can open
the chimney damper (if you have one) fully or
partially to release some of the heat.
WARNING: Damper handle
will be hot if heater has been
running.
