OPERATIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION (Cont.)
OPERATING YOUR UNVENTED GAS APPLIANCE SAFELY AND CORRECTLY
M. This appliance is intended for supplemental heating, and is not to be used as a primary
heating source. Water vapor produced by vent-free gas logs can create moisture problems
in a home when operated for extended periods of time. If condensation begins to occur, open
your damper or a window.
As a supplemental zone heater, this set should not be used more than six continuous hours per
day or more than 40 hours per week. More frequent use indicates that this unit is being used
as a primary heat source. The higher presence of carbon monoxide generated by this amount
of use can be considered unsafe.
N. If the gas quality is poor or pressure low, your ODS pilot may not stay lit, the burners may
produce soot, or the unit may backfi re. Contact your local gas supplier immediately.
O. This appliance is designed for adults to be present while in operation. Do not leave this unit
burning when unattended or while sleeping. This is an attended appliance.
P. WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result
in sooting and property damage.
Q. WARNING: All previously applied loose material, such as embers, must be removed prior
to reapplication. All replacement loose material must be purchased from the original
appliance manufacturer.
R. Unusually tight construction is defi ned as:
a) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder
with a rating of 1 perm (6x10
11
kg per pa-sec-m
2
) or less with openings that are sealed or
use gaskets;
b) Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors; AND
c) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames;
between sole plates and floors; between wall-ceiling joints; between wall panels; at
penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines; and at other openings.
