GENERAL INFORMATION
Note: Installation and repair should be per-
formed by a qualifi ed service person. The
appliance should be inspected annually by
a qualifi ed professional service technician.
More frequent inspections and cleanings may
be required due to excessive from carpeting,
bedding material, etc.

l'appareil.
Provide adequate clearances around air open-
ings and adequate accessibility clearance for
service and proper operation. Never obstruct
the front openings of the appliance.
These appliances are designed to operate on
natural or propane gas only. To operate on an
alternate gas (i.e. converting a natural gas
model to use propane gas) a fi eld converion
is necessary (see Pages 34 to 36). The use
of any other fuels or combination of fuels will
degrade the performance of this system and
may be dangerous.
These fi replaces are designed as supplemen-
tal heaters. Therefore, it is advisable to have
an alternate heat source when installed in a
dwelling.
Millivolt Models - The millivolt appliances are
manually controlled and feature a spark igniter
(piezo) that allows the appliance's pilot gas to
be lit without the use of matches or batteries.
This system provides continued service in the
event of a power outage.
Millivolt models come standard with a manu-
ally-modulated gas valve; fl ame appearance and
heat output can be controlled at the gas valve.
The BTU Input for these appliances is shown
in Tables 1 & 2.
