loss of life.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard
of high surface temperature and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition.
• Do not place clothing or other materials on or near
the heater.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room with the appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
• Any change to this heater or its operating controls can
be dangerous. Improper installation or use of this
appliance can cause serious injury or death from fire,
burns, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu with head-
aches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these
signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Have the Vent-
Free Gas Heater serviced by a qualified technician
as it may not be operating correctly. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
These include pregnant women, people with heart or
lung disease or anemia, those under the influence of
alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an
appliance must be replaced and/or closed prior to
operating the heater.
• 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 ser-
vice person. More frequent cleaning may be required
due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material,
etc. It is important that control compartments, burners
and circulating air passageways of the appliance be
kept clean.
• This appliance is for installation only in a solid-fuel
burning masonry or UL 127 factory-built fireplace or in
a listed ventless firebox enclosure. It has been design
certified for these installations. Exception: 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.

shut off any electricity or gas to the appliance while
performing service work.
• The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system while
performing any tests of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
• This appliance must not be operated without a fireplace
screen installed. Fireplace screens must not impair
the free flow of combustion air to the appliance.
• Failure to comply with the installation and operation
instructions provided in this document will result in
an improperly installed and operating appliance,
voiding its warranty.
• The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig.

to inspect the room heater and to replace any part of
the control and any gas control which has been under
water.
• Ensure that the appliance is clean when operating.
Excessive dust accumulation on the burner and/or
logs will increase the amount of carbon monoxide
formation and could lead to the formation of soot,
carbon monoxide poisoning and sickness or death.
