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 pat-
terns. 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 recom-
mended 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 (oxy-
gen) from the room in which it is installed. Provisions
for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided. See page 7.
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
appliance. Water vapor produced by an unvented
heater can create moisture problems in a home
when operated for extended periods of time.
18. 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 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
disappear with continued use.
19. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for
elevations up to ,000 feet. For elevations above
,000 feet, input ratings should be reduced 4 percent
for each 1,000 feet above sea level. See the National
Fuel Gas Code.
0. The heater and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/ psig (3.5 kPa).
1. The heater must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/ psig (3.5 kPa).
. Do not use this room heater if any part has been
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.
3. This appliance must not be used with glass doors
in the closed position. This can lead to pilot outages
and severe sooting outside the fireplace.
4. Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where a un-
vented room heater is installed.
5. Always have a fireplace screen in place when the
appliance is in operation and , unless other provi-
sions for combustion air are provided, the screen
shall have an opening(s) for induction of combustion
air.
