OPERATIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION (Cont.)
OPERATING YOUR UNVENTED GAS LOG SET SAFELY AND CORRECTLY
O. Vent-free gas logs are supplemental zone heaters, 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.
P. DO NOT PLACE logs or other accessories, such as wood chips, pine cones, or vermiculite, on this
appliance. These items will cause improper burning, sooting, and/or high levels of carbon monoxide.
Additional logs and/or accessories may be placed around the burner system, if they do not interfere with
log set operation.
Q. Do not use your vent-free gas log set if any part of it has been underwater. Immediately call a qualifi ed
professional service technician to inspect the set. Replace any part of the control system or gas control
affected.
R. 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.
S. 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.
T. WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting
and property damage.
U. 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.
V. 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 fl oors; between wall-ceiling joints; between wall panels; at penetrations for plumbing,
electrical, and gas lines; and at other openings.
CAUTION: Installation and repair must be done by an NFI Certifi ed or other qualifi ed professional
installer.
