1. This appliance is only for use with the type of
gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance
is not convertible for use with other gases.
2. Do not place propane/LP supply tank(s) in-
side any structure. Locate propane/LP supply
tank(s) outdoors (propane/LP units only).
3. If you smell gas
• shut off gas supply
• do not try to light any appliance
• do not touch any electrical switch; do not use
any phone in your building
• immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions
• if you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the re department
4. Never install log set
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, clothing or other
ammable objects are less than 42" from
the front, tip or sides of the log set
• in high trafc areas
• in windy or drafty areas
5.
Before installing in a solid fuel burning replace,
the chimney ue and rebox must be cleaned
of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by a
qualied chimney cleaner. Creosote will ignite if
highly heated. Inspect chimney ue for damage.
If damaged, repair ue before operating heater.
6. Do not burn solid-fuel in the replace after
installing the log set. Do not use this log set
to cook food or burn paper or other objects.
7.
This log set is designed to be smokeless. If logs
ever appear to smoke, turn off appliance and call
a qualied service person. Note: During initial
operation, slight smoking could occur due to log
curing and burning of manufacturing residues.
You may wish to add more ventilation by opening
a window.
8. To reduce the creation of soot, follow the
instructions in Cleaning and Maintenance,
page 14.
9. 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.
10. Do not run heater
• where ammable liquids or vapors are used
or stored
• under dusty conditions
11. Do not use heater if any part has been exposed
to or under water. Immediately call a qualied
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.
12. Do not operate heater if any log is broken. Do
not operate heater if a log is chipped (dime-
sized or larger).
13. Turn heater off and let cool before servicing or
repairing. Make sure the selector switch is in
the OFF position. Only a qualied service per-
son should install, service or repair heater.
14. To prevent performance problems, do not
use propane/LP fuel tank of less than 100 lb.
capacity (propane/LP units only).
15. The installation and provisions for combus-
tion and ventilation air must conform with
the National Fuel Gas Codes, ANSI Z233.1/
NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion
and Ventilation.
16. Provide adequate clearances around air
openings.
