CHECK GAS TYPE
Use the correct gas type (natural or propane/LP) for your unit. If your gas
supply is not correct, do not instal in fireplace. Call dealer where you bought
the appliance for proper type of appliance.
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 primary heating source. If you have a central heating
system, you may run system's circulating blower while using heater.
This will help circulate the heat throughout the house. In event of a
power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.
WARNING: A qualified service person must install heater. Fol-
low 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: Make sure the selector switch is in the OFF position
before installing heater.
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 qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote
will ignite if highly heated. A dirty chimney flue may create and
distribute soot within the house. Inspect chimney flue for damage.
If damaged, repair flue damper before operating appliance.
WARNING: Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-out doors
located on floor or wall of fireplace. If not, drafting may cause pilot
outage or sooting. Use a heat-ressistant sealant. Do not seal chim
-
ney flue damper.

annce, see page 10
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects
are
Less than 42 inches from the front, top, or sides of heater

CAUTION: This heater creates warm air currents. These cur-
rents move heat to wall surfaces next to heater. Installing heater
next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating heater where
impurities (such as, but not limited to, tobacco smoke, aromatic
candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc..) in the air
exist, may discolor walls or cause odors.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although
this is beneficial, installing heater in rooms withought enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture.
See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.
