TABLE OF CONTENTS
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the
hazard of high surface temperatures 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 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.
• Installation and repair should be done by a quali-
fied service person. The appliance should be in-
spected before use and at least annually by a pro-
fessional service person. More frequent cleaning
may be required due to excessive lint from carpet-
ing, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that con-
trol compartments, burners and circulating air pas-
sageways of the appliance be kept clean.
• Any change to this heater or it’s controls can be
dangerous.
• The fireplace and gas logs function as a system. If
the fireplace is not drafting properly and spilling into
the room (check with a match or a smoke stick),
reposition the damper clamp until a positive draft
is obtained by opening the damper. If negative
pressure in home prevents having a positive draft,
consult an air quality specialist.
• The gas log heater must be secured to the
fireplace floor to ensure that the position is
not changed while adjusting the controls.
• Sooting and an improper burn may result
from shifting of the gas logs by moving the
unit. A gas leak could be caused by moving
the grate.
• If you are installing the unit into a sunken
fireplace, you must raise the fireplace floor
to allow access to the gas log controls.
Raising the floor ensures adequate air flow
and guards against sooting. The fireplace
floor must be raised using noncombustible
materials.

built fireplace that includes instructions
