IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Continued from page 3
16. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materi-
als, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
17. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater.
They are not intended to be the primary heating appli-
ance.
18. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living
area. In most homes of average construction, this does
not pose a problem. In houses of extremely tight con-
struction, additional mechanical ventilation is recom-
mended.
19. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various
components of this appliance are treated with certain
oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not
harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells
as they are burned off during the initial 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 two to three
hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide
maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to
allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this
initial break-in period will be slight and will disappear
with continued use.
20. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for
elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000
feet, input ratings should be reduced 4 percent for each
1,000 feet above sea level. Refer to the National Fuel Gas
Code.
21. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
22. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its equipment shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa).
23. 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 to replace any part of
the control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
24. Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where a unvented
room heater is installed.
27. Installation of this vented gas log in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts requires the damper be permanently
removed or welded in the full open position. In addi-
tion, a naturally vented gas log may not be installed in
a bedroom or bathroom in the Commonwealth of Mas-
sachusetts. Flex line installation must not exceed 36".

utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly
known as wellhead gas.
WARNING
25. Always have a fireplace screen in place when the appli-
ance is in operation and, unless other provisions for
combustion air are provided, the screen must have an
opening(s) for induction of combustion air.
26. FOR MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS ONLY:

lation.
Failure to keep the primary air openings
of the burners clean may result in
sooting and property damage.
