side any structure. Locate propane/LP supply

tank(s) outdoors (propane/LP units only).

3. To prevent performance problems, the use of

a propane/LP fuel tank of less than 100 lb.

capacity is not recommended (propane/LP

5. This heater shall not be installed in a bedroom

or bathroom unless installed as a vented appli-

ance (see Installing Damper Clamp Accessory

for Vented Operation,

page 12).

6. Before installing in a solid fuel burning ﬁre-

place, the chimney ﬂue and ﬁrebox must be

cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint

by a qualiﬁed chimney cleaner. Creosote will

ignite if highly heated. A dirty chimney ﬂue

may create and distribute soot within the house.

Inspect chimney ﬂue for damage. If damaged,

repair ﬂue before operating heater.

7. Do not burn solid-fuel in a masonry or UL127

factory-built ﬁreplace in which a vent-free

room heater is installed.

8. If ﬁreplace has glass doors, never operate this

heater with glass doors closed. If you operate

heater with doors closed, heat buildup inside

ﬁreplace will cause glass to burst. Make sure

there are no obstructions across openings of

ﬁreplace.

9. This log heater is designed to be smokeless. If

logs ever appear to smoke, turn off heater and

call a qualiﬁed service person. Note: During

initial operation, slight smoking may occur due

to log curing and heater burning manufacturing

residues.

10. To prevent the creation of soot, follow the

instructions in Cleaning and Maintenance,

page 23.

11. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet

cleaner or similar products, turn heater off. If

heated, the vapors from these products may

create a white powder residue within burner

box or on adjacent walls or furniture.

12. This heater needs fresh, outside air ventilation

to run properly. This heater has an Oxygen De-

pletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system.

The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough

fresh air is available. See Air for Combustion

and Ventilation, page 6. If heater keeps shutting

off, see Troubleshooting, page 24.

13. Do not run heater

• where ﬂammable liquids or vapors are used

or stored

• under dusty conditions

14. Do not use this heater to cook food or burn

paper or other objects.

15. Do not use heater if any part has been exposed

to or under water. Immediately call a qualiﬁed

service technician to inspect the room heater

and to replace any part of the control system

and any gas control which has been under

water.

16. Do not operate heater if any log is broken. Do

not operate heater if a log is chipped (dime-

sized or larger).

17. Turn heater off and let cool before servicing,

installing or repairing. Make sure the remote

selector switch is in the OFF position. Only a

qualiﬁed service person should install, service

or repair heater.

OFF position when you are away from home

for long periods of time.

19. This heater must not be connected to any

external electrical source.

20. Operating heater above elevations of 4,500

feet may cause pilot outage.
