LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• 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. 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 operate 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.
