Unvented Cast Iron Gas Stoves
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. Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce
combustion by-products including soot. Vent-free
appliances 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. Provi-
sions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must
be provided. Refer to Page 8.
16. Keep room area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
17. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater.
They are not intended to be a primary heating appli-
ance.
18. 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, addition mechanical ventilation
is recommended.
19. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping,
various components of this appliance are treated
with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These
chemicals are not harmful but may produce
annoying smoke and smells as they are burned
off during the initial operation of the appliance;
possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irrita-
tion. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.

1. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic 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 appliance.
4. Do not place clothing or other flammable material
on or near the appliance.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an
appliance, must be replaced prior to operating the
heater.
6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person.
7. To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented
gas heater should be cleaned before use and at least
annually by a professional service person. More
frequent cleaning may be required due to exces-
sive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is
imperative that control compartments, burners and
circulating air passageways be kept clean.
Please leave these instructions with the appliance.
Please retain these instructions for future reference.
8. Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu 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
10. This unit complies with ANSI Z21.11.2, Unvented Heat-
ers.
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 place-
ment instructions for proper installation.
