ALL APPLICATIONS (Installation)

ALL APPLICATIONS-IMPORTANT NOTICE

Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid 
burns or clothing ignition.

Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room with the appliance.

Do not place clothing or any other flammable material on or near the appliance.

Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operating the heater.

WARNING: During manufacturing, fabricating, and shipping, various components of CHILLBUSTER are 
treated with certain oils or films. These are not harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are 
burned off during the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This i
s a normal and temporary occurrence. The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with the burner at the 
highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows, doors, and the chimney flue to allow odors to 
dissipate. The only odor remaining after this initial break-in will be the normal odors associated with the 
combustion of Natural or Propane gas.

This appliance is equipped with an ODS (OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR) pilot light safety system designed to 
shut itself off if not enough fresh air is available. Additional ventilation may be obtained by opening a window or a 
door to another room.

Although your CHILLBUSTER is very realistic in appearance, it is not a real wood burning fireplace. Matches, 
paper, garbage, or any other material must not be thrown on top of the logs or into the flames.

Avoid contact with the logs, grate, or any other part which may be hot.

Always ensure that the fireplace screen is closed when the appliance is operating.

design certified for these installations.  DO NOT install this appliance in a factory-
built fireplace that includes instructions stating it has not been tested or should
not be used with unvented gas logs.

"WARNING: Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous."

Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance
should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding
material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

State or local codes may only allow operation of this appliance in a vented configuration.
Check your state or local codes. If not permitted, you may install and operate
CHILLBUSTER as a vented appliance. (See "VENTED OPERATION" page 3).

This appliance is for supplemental heating only. It should not be used as the primary heat
source for a dwelling.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies.

"WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s)clean may

result in sooting or property damage."

1.

This appliance may be installed in an after market, permanently located, manufactured (mobile) home, where not 
prohibited by local codes.

2.

This appliance is for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not field convertible for

3.  Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect 

the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

4.

If local valve is not already installed, install a gas valve on the supply line in or just outside the fireplace.

5.

A fireplace screen must be in place when the CHILLBUSTER is in operation and, unless other provisions for 
combustion air are provided, the screen shall have opening(s) for introduction of combustion air. Glass doors are 
not certified with the CHILLBUSTER. However, if used, Glass Doors must be wide open when the burner
is on
 to allow air for safe combustion, cooling of components and venting. Adequate clearances must be provided
around fireplace opening for adequate combustion and proper operation.  (see page 5)
