IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
10. This unit complies with ANSI Z21.11.2-2001 Unvented
Heaters and also complies with ANSI Z21.60-2000 Deco-
rative Vented Appliances for Solid Fuel Burning Fire-
places. State and local codes may only allow operation
of this appliance in a vented configuration. Check your
state or local codes. For vented operation, see “Vented
Instructions” in this manual.
11. Do not install the heaters in a bathroom or bedroom.
12. Correct installation of the ceramic fiber logs, proper
location of the heater, and annual cleaning are necessary
to avoid potential problems with sooting. Sooting,
resulting from improper installation or operation,
can settle on surfaces outside the fireplace. See log
placement instructions for proper installation.
13. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place
a blower inside burn area of firebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will occur.
14. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce
combustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free
appliances will not filter or clean soot produced by
these types of products. In addition, the smoke and/or
aromatics (scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free
appliance which can produce odors. It is recommended
to minimize the use of candles, incense, etc. while the
vent-free appliance is in operation.
15. 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 pro-
vided. See page 8.
