Operation, page 10).
5. Before installing in a solid fuel burn-
ing fireplace, the chimney flue and fire-
box must be cleaned of soot, creosote,

for damage. If damaged, operate heater
with flue damper closed.

erate this heater with glass doors closed.
If you operate heater with doors closed,
heat buildup inside fireplace will cause

tenance, page 17.

less. If logs ever appear to smoke, turn
off heater and call a qualified service per-

During initial operation, slight
smoking may occur due to log curing and
heater burning manufacturing residues.

pet cleaner, or similar products, turn

these products may create a white pow-
der residue within burner box or on

tilation to run properly. This heater has
