P/N 775,005M Rev. M, 12/03 IMPORTANT WARNINGS IMPORTANT WARNINGS 1. If utilizing an older chimney, it must be inspected for adequate serviceability. Refer to the heading Chimney Inspection on page 4. 2. Install only in masonry fireplaces, built to UBC 37 or ULC S628 standards or A factory built fireplace built to UL 127 or ULC S610 standards. 3. The minimum clearances must be maintained for all combustible surfaces and materials including; furniture, carpet, drapes, clothing, wood, papers, etc. Do not store firewood within this clearance space. 4. This appliance requires a non-combustible fireplace hearth or hearth extension (see Floor Protection on page 4 for additional information). 5. Minimum ceiling height must be 7 feet (213 cm) (measured from base of appliance to ceiling). 6. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE CONNECTED TO ANOTHER APPLIANCE. 7. Do not connect this appliance to air ducts or any air distribution system. 8. Do not install appliance in a sleeping room. 9. PREVENT CREOSOTE FIRE: Inspect and clean chimney frequently. Under certain conditions of use, creosote buildup may occur rapidly. Inspect chimney connector and chimney twice monthly and clean if necessary. Using green or inadequately seasoned wood can greatly increase creosote buildup. Use dry wood to minimize creosote buildup. 10. USE SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY: This appliance is approved for burning dry seasoned natural wood only. CAUTION: BURN UNTREATED WOOD ONLY. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. 11. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use. 12. DO NOT OVERFIRE: If heater or chimney connector glows, you are overfiring. Overfiring this appliance could cause a house fire. Overfiring is a condition where the appliance is operated at temperatures above its design capabilities (see Overfiring, on page 19). Overfiring can be caused by improper installation, improper operation, lack of maintenance or improper fuel usage. Damage caused from overfiring is NOT covered under the manufacturers limited warranty (see Care and Operation, pages 12 to 14). 13. NEVER LEAVE AN UNATTENDED FIREPLACE INSERT BURNING ON HIGH. Operation of the fireplace insert with the primary air control at its highest burn rate setting for extended periods can cause dangerous overfiring conditions. The primary air control should only be positioned at the highest setting during startup procedures and for short durations. When leaving the fireplace insert unattended ensure that the primary air control is set to the low or medium low range. 14. Use a metal container with a tight fitting lid to dispose of ashes. 15. IN THE EVENT OF A COMPONENT FAILURE, USE ONLY COMPONENTS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS REPLACEMENT PARTS. 16. Burning any kind of fuel uses oxygen from the dwelling. Be sure that you allow an adequate source of fresh air into the room where the fireplace insert is operating (see Ventilation on page 5). 17. CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. An appliance hot enough to warm your home can severely burn anyone touching it. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. Do not let children touch the appliance. Train them to stay a safe distance from the unit. 18. Build fires directly upon the brick hearth inside the fireplace insert. Do not use grates, irons or any other method to elevate the fire. 19. Once the fire is established, never burn the appliance with the bypass damper open, except when refueling the appliance. 20. CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR: Do not operate this appliance without the catalytic combustor assembly (this consists of ceramics, gasket and a housing) properly installed. Burning of metal foils, coal, plastic garbage, diesel oil and sulfur will make the catalyst in the combustor inactive. The combustor is fragile; handle carefully. The performance of the catalytic device or its durability has not been evaluated as part of the certification. 21. See the listing label located on the back of fireplace (or see Safety/Listing Label on page 25). 22. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
