Important Safety Information
WARNING!
• Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.
• Improper installation or use of the heater can cause serious injury or death from re, burns, explosion or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Do not allow fans to blow directly into the replace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame patterns.
• Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory, not approved for use with this heater where applicable.
1. Due to high temperatures, the rebox should be located out of trafc and away from furniture and draperies.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
3. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room with the rebox.
4. Do not place clothing or other ammable material near the replace when the rebox is in use.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing, must be replaced prior to operating a heater within the rebox.
6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualied service person.
7. To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented gas heater/rebox should be cleaned at least annually by a profes-
sional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, etc. It is imperative that
control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways be kept clean.
8. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the u with headaches, dizziness and/or
nausea. If you have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Have the heater serviced as it may not be operating properly.
9. The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.l/
NFPA54.
10. This unit complies with ANSI Z21.91-2017 ventless rebox enclosures for gas-red unvented decorative room heaters.
11. Do not install the unvented heater in a bathroom.
12. Do not install the unvented heater in a bedroom unless the maximum input rating is equal to or less than 10,000 Btu/hr.
13. Correct installation of the ceramic ber logs, proper location of the heater, and annual cleaning are necessary to avoid potential
problems with sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper installation or operation, can settle on surfaces outside the replace.
See log placement instructions for proper installation.
14. Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into replace. Do not place a blower inside burn
area of rebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter burnerame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur.
15. CAUTION:Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce combustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free appliances will not lter or
clean soot producedby these types of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics (scents) may be re-burnt 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.
16. An unvented gas-red heater uses air (oxygen) from the room in which it is installed. Provisions for adequate combustion and venti-
lation air must be provided. See installation guidelines.
17. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids.
18.Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater. They are not intended to be a primary heating appliance.
19. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living area. In most homes of average construction, this does not pose a problem. In
houses of extremely tight construction, additional mechanical ventilation is recommended.
20. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, lms or bonding
agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial opera-
tion of the appliance; possibly causing headaches, or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by
opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in period will be slight and will disap-
pear with continued use.
21. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000 feet, input ratings should
be reduced 4 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code.
22. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure test-
ing of that system at test pres-sures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
23. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment shutoff valve during any pressure test-
ing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
