This manual and particularly the preceeding and following pages contain very important information regarding
the safe operation of your fi replace as well as maintenance instructions. Read carefully before operating your
fi replace and pay special attention to the safety warnings.
A heating gas appliance does require safe handling. For this reason, we very strongly recommend children are not
allowed to touch the fi replace or controls. Install a screen or barrier in front of the fi replace to protect your children
against severe burns.
This appliance is designed and approved as a supplemental heater and provides the potential for most
energy conservation when used while attended. The use of an alternate primary heat source is advisable.
