11. Do not install heater in a bathroom or bedroom unless
approved for bedroom use.
12. Correct installation of the ceramic fiber logs, proper
location of the heater, and annual cleaning are neces-
sary to avoid potential problems with sooting. Sooting,
resulting from improper installation or operation, can
settle on surfaces outside the fireplace. See log placement
instructions for proper installation.
13. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place
a blower inside burn area of firebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Sooting and
improper burning will occur.
14. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce
combustion by-products including soot. Vent-free appli-
ances will not filter or clean soot produced by these types
of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics
(scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free appliance which
can produce odors. It is recommended to minimize the
use of candles, incense, etc. while the vent-free appliance
is in operation.
15. This is an unvented gas-fired heater. It uses air (oxygen)
from the room in which it is installed. Provisions for
adequate combustion and ventilation air must be pro-
vided. See page 8.
IMPORTANT
Read these instructions carefully before installing or trying to operate this vent-free gas heater.
