GENERAL INFORMATION
This is an unvented gas-fired heater. It uses air (oxygen) from the
room in which it is installed. Provisions for adequate combustion
and ventilation air must be provided.
Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gaso-
line and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater. They are
not intended to be a primary heating appliance. Water vapor pro-
duced by an unvented heater can create moisture problems in a
home when operated for extended periods of time.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various compo-
nents of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bond-
ing agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may produce
annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during the ini-
tial operation of the appliance; possibly causing headaches or eye
or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with the burner
at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening
windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remain-
ing after this initial break-in period will be slight and will disap-
pear with continued use.
This appliance must not be used with glass doors in the closed
position. This can lead to pilot outages and severe sooting out-
side the fireplace.
Do not use this room heater if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the room
heater and replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
