EMBER MATERIALS
Heat & Glo appliances manufactured with tempered glass may
be installed in hazardous locations such as bathtub enclosures
as defined by the CPSC. The tempered glass has been tested
and certified to the requirements of ANSI Z97.1-1984 and CPSC
16 CFR 1202. (Safety Glazing Certification Council SGCC #
1595 and 1597. Architectural Testing, Inc. Reports 02-31919.01
and 02-31917.01.)
This statement is in compliance with CPSC 16 CFR Section
1201.5 “Certification and labeling requirements” which refers
to 15 USC 2063 stating “…Such certificate shall accompany the
product or shall otherwise be furnished to any distributor or
retailer to whom the product is delivered.”
Some local building codes require the use of tempered glass
with permanent marking in such locations. Glass meeting this
requirement is available from the factory. Please contact your
dealer or distributor to order.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
• Before lighting the appliance, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty
MUST BE
re-
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
appliance components is
DANGEROUS
and voids all
warranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the appliance, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the appliance will light and will operate normally.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines,
unless
the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position
, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE:
The appliance should be run 3 to 4 hours on the
initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove
and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the appliance
for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products
used in the paint and logs.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the appliance’s initial burning.
