WARNING:
• If fireplace has glass doors,
never operate this heater with
glass doors closed. If you op
-
erate heater with doors closed,
heat buildup inside fireplace
will cause glass to burst. Make
sure there are no obstructions
across openings of fireplace.
• You must operate this heater
with a fireplace screen in place.

excessive. You can open the chimney damper (if
you have one) fully or partially to release some
of the heat.

will be hot if heater has been
running.
1. STOP! Read the safety information.
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is
fully open.
