these instructions or improper use of this heater will
void the warranty and can cause serious injury or

DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the flu with headaches,
dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these signs, get
fresh air immediately! Have the heater serviced, as it
may not be operating properly. As a safety precaution,
a CO monitor may be installed in or near the room
where the unit will be operating.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absences of local codes, the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54).
DO NOT INSTALL THIS HEATER IN A
BEDROOM OR BATHROOM.
Do not
use this heater if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the heater and to replace any part of the control
system and gas control which has been under water.
This heater has a standing pilot which incorporates an
Oxygen Depletion System (ODS). The ODS shuts off
the flow of gas to the pilot and the burner in the event
that sufficient fresh air becomes unavailable for
continued safe operation of the heater. If this heater
shuts off during operation, sufficient fresh air may not
be available. Refer to the Troubleshooting or Fresh Air
Requirements sections of this manual, or call a qualified
service technician.
Avoid any drafts that alter the burner flame patterns.
Do not allow fans to blow directly into the heater.
Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter burner flame
patterns. Sooting and improper burning may occur.
This unvented gas heater is intended to be smokeless.
During the first few hours of operation the appliance
may produce a slight smoke and/or odor. This is
normal during the first burn. During the initial burn,
open a window(s) to assist in the removal of the
smoke/odor. If the logs appear to smoke, turn the
heater off and call a qualified service technician.
During any pressure testing of supply piping system in
excess of ½ psi (14" w.c.), the heater and its control
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply system.
If equal to or less than ½ psig, it must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve.
