Part 1: For Your Safety For your safety do not operate this appliance before reading this instruction book. Warning: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For assistance or additional information consult with Raypak Australia, your Raypak distributor, qualified installer or accredited Rheem Australia Service Agency. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS? DO NOT try to light any gas appliance. DO NOT touch any electrical switch.
Part 2: Installation Instructions This gas fireplace must be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with AS5601 and all relevant local building codes. For safe installation and operation please note the following: 1. This fireplace gives off high temperatures and should be located out of high traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies. 2.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the appliance on. It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or cool down cycle. It is not unusual for the Raypak Vermont gas fireplace to produce some odour the first time it is burned. This is due to residual oils used during the manufacturing process. Please open all windows to ensure your room is well ventilated.
