SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and
completely before trying to assemble, operate, or ser-
vice this heater. Improper use of this heater can cause
serious injury or death from burns, fire, explosion,
electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

 Early signs of carbon monoxide

poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you
have these signs, the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air
at once!
 Have heater serviced. Some people are more affected by
carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people
with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the influence of
alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

Natural Gas:

 Natural gas is odorless. An odor-making agent is

added to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the
odor added to the gas can fade. Gas may be present even though no
odor exists.

Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this
manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper operation
of this heater.

 WARNING: Any change to this heater or its

controls can be dangerous.

 WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into

exchanger insert or other accessory not approved
for use with this heater.

Carefully supervise young children when they are in
the room with fireplace.

tible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
