INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS / GAS CONNECTION
STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS
The installation must be completed by a licensed
plumber or gas fitter in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMMONWEALTH OF
MASSACHUSETTS
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter when installed within the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. If this appliance is installed in a
dwelling, building or structure used in whole or in part
for residential purposes and the installation includes a
horizontal vent termination that is less than seven (7)
feet above the finished grade in the area of the venting,
including but not limited to decks and porches, a hardwired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and
battery back-up must be installed on the floor level of the
dwelling, building or structure where the appliance is to
be installed.
Additionally, a hard-wired or battery operated carbon
monoxide detector with an alarm must be installed
on each additional level of the dwelling, building
or structure served by the appliance. It shall be the
responsibility of the property owner to secure the
services of qualified licensed professionals for the
installation of hard-wired carbon monoxide detectors.
In the event that the horizontally vented appliance is
installed in a crawl space or attic, the hardwired carbon
monoxide detector with alarm and battery back-up may
be installed on the next adjacent floor level.
In the event that this requirement cannot be met at the
time of completion of the installation of the appliance,
the owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days to
comply with the requirement. However, during said thirty
(30) day period, a battery operated carbon monoxide
detector with alarm must be installed.
Each carbon monoxide detector as required in
accordance with the above provisions must comply with
NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL 2034 and IAS certified.
In addition, when the vent termination is less than
seven (7) feet above finished grade a metal or plastic

upstream of the valve. The stove and its main control
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). The stove must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the
main control valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply system at test pressures equal to or greater than
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). After the gas supply has been connected,
use a commercial gas leak detector or apply a soapy water
solution to all the fittings to check for gas leaks. Never use
a flame to test for leaks.

FINISHING INFORMATION & PLANNING
NOTE: SÓLAS can only offer guidance as to the type of
materials that can be safely used during the installation
of your fireplace and cannot comment on, or be
responsible for, any finishing material’s propensity for
fading, flaking, discoloring, cracking, or chipping due to
improper installation and/or thermal expansion. Be sure
to consider a material’s propensity to “off-gas” when hot
as this may cause discomfort for the end user.
NOTE: For a Minimal “Clean” look, we recommend using
materials that have been tested for specific high heat
applications and are designed not to crack or chip such
as Promat and Skamol products. Any other materials
used to achieve this same look might not perform as
intended and are likely to discolor, crack and/or chip.
FINISHING SUGGESTIONS:
Additional tips to help avoid cracking;
Standard gypsum board may be used beyond the perimeter
of the non-combustible zone however it is preferable not
to change materials to help avoid cracking. Ensure that all
compound, mortar, and/or silicone adhesives are rated for
high-temperature applications and have fully cured before
using the fireplace to help reduce the possibility of cracking
as a result of thermal expansion.
• Allow materials to dry thoroughly before finishing the wall.
•T
ile and Stone Veneer Products:
Install a minimum of ½" non-combustible cement board
then apply tile or stone with mortar following instructions
from the finishing material company. Pre-drill cement
board with oversized holes and do not over-tighten
screws to avoid cracking due to thermal expansion.
• Natural Stone, Marble or Granite Type Products:
Install a minimum of ½" non-combustible cement board
then apply tile or stone with mortar following instructions
from the finishing material company. Pre-drill cement
board with oversized holes and do not over-tighten
screws to avoid cracking due to thermal expansion.
• Always pre-drill cement board with oversized holes and
use screws with self-milling head.
• Always use tape over joints.
• Double up studs or use studs “on the flat” to add extra
support to the joint. Help control differential movement by
applying adhesive on the backside of the wall board joints.
• Use multiple, thinner coats of joint compound and allow to
completely dry between coats.
• Ensure all framing materials are dry.
• Introduce heat gradually after finishing the wall to slowly
dry any excess moisture.
• Avoid notching tiles or cement board around corners of
window opening and instead provide a joint that intersects
the corner.
• Take guidance from your authorized fireplace dealer and
experienced installer.
Consult installation and operating instructions supplied
with your SÓLAS fireplace for complete instructions for the
installation and operation of the appliance.
NOTE: Prior to enclosing the wall cavity, test fire the fireplace to ensure it is fully operational.

VENTING
The SÓLAS ONE6 Slim-Line Built-In Gas Fireplace
has been tested and listed for installation with 4”
X 6 5/8” Simpson DuraVent GS/Pro®, Selkirk DirectTemp®, Security Secure Vent™, AmeriVent Direct™,
Metal Fab DirectVent and ICC EXCELDirect venting
components. Although you may use the pipe
components (straight pipe, elbows, etc.) from any of
the listed manufacturers, you may only use the vent
terminations (caps) listed in the chart on page 18.
For installations where a snorkel is needed, please
note that only three snorkels are approved for use.
Please plan your installation accordingly.
• If the fireplace will be installed on an interior wall
or other location that precludes venting directly
through an outside wall to a horizontal vent cap, or
if the distance to the outside wall exceeds 30", one
or more elbows will be required to allow addition
of the required vertical venting to the installation.
When vertical venting is required, the fireplace
venting may be terminated with either a vertical
or horizontal vent cap depending on the specifics
of the installation. Refer to the venting charts on
pages 19 & 20 for specific venting requirements
and see the chart on page 18 for a list of approved
vent caps before you plan your installation.
For all specific venting installation requirements,
follow the installation instructions included by the
venting manufacturer with the venting system
components you have chosen.
• There should be a 1 1/2" overlap of the vent and
combustion air tubes, when telescopic joints are
used.
• A minimum clear space of 1 1/2" must be maintained
around the vent pipe where it penetrates the first
combustible wall adjacent to the fireplace (either
the outside wall for the direct-through-the-wall
installation or the partition wall for the 45° or other
interior wall installations). The special vent pipe
heat shields that are provided with the ONE6 must
also be installed in the first wall adjacent to the
fire-place. A minimum clear space of 1 1/2" must also
be maintained where the vent pipe penetrates any
other interior wall, exterior wall, ceiling or roof.
Please Note:
• For venting configurations that include no vertical
rise, a total horizontal equivalent vent run of up to
30 inches is allowed (when using a 45° elbow, 18
inches horizontal equivalent must be included).
However, if your installation has room to add a
vertical pipe section, we suggest adding at least
one foot of vertical rise to the system.
• For venting configurations that include vertical
rise, it is assumed that the installation will include
at least one 90° elbow. Up to three additional 90°
elbows (or equivalent 45° elbows) may also be
used. The total venting may not exceed 20 feet of
vertical rise and/or 10 feet horizontal run. Refer to
the venting charts starting on pages 19 & 20 for
specific details while you plan your installation.
Note: The number of elbows impacts the
maximum allowable horizontal vent run.
•Many installations will involve venting directly
through standard 2 X 4 or 2 X 6 construction
exterior wall to a horizontal vent termination
(cap). The vent starter pipe has been designed
to accommodate those two common installations
without the use of any additional venting
components other than a standard horizontal cap.
See the chart on page 18 for a list of approved vent
caps.
• The ONE6 Slim-Line Built-In may also be installed
in front of an existing fireplace opening utilizing
special co-linear venting components available
from the venting manufacturers. These systems
split and then recombine the co-axial air and
exhaust and allow the use of flexible venting.
This makes it easier to run the venting through
the narrow fireplace damper opening to the top
of the chimney. Refer to the vent manufacturers’
instructions. Use the vertical venting column (0 feet
Horizontal Run) in the venting charts to determine
the required restrictor settings depending on the
height of chimney.
• A special corner installation kit (Part Number
CK-26-1) is also available that will allow the
ONE6 fireplace to be mounted in a corner
without constructing a 45° partition wall. This kit
is available from your SÓLAS dealer and has its
own installation instructions. Please refer to those
instructions for specific details regarding the
installation using the kit.

Just as with any other vented device, vertical vent rise
creates draft (negative pressure) in the firebox as the
exhaust gases heat up. If this draft becomes excessive,
it can affect the performance or appearance of the fire.
The ONE6 fireplace includes air and exhaust restrictors
that are used to balance the draft in the fireplace to the
optimal level for installations where excessive draft might
occur. The venting charts on pages 19 and 20 provide
an easy means for determining whether your specific
installation requires inlet air or exhaust restrictors or both.
To make the determination about whether air or exhaust
restrictors are needed, a venting chart worksheet is
provided on page 21. Follow the instructions and fill in the
worksheet for your particular installation. This will allow
you to determine the recommended restrictor settings
for your exact installation. Although this might appear to
be a complicated process at first glance, it is really quite
straight-forward and the result will be a fire that looks and
performs as intended. Several examples of worksheet
calculations are shown on page 22 to help guide you.
Please be sure to note that:
1. There are separate venting charts for Natural Gas and
LP Gas. Refer to the appropriate chart for your fuel type
to determine your specific restrictor requirements. The
settings in the charts have been deter-mined based on
extensive testing.
2. Determine the total vertical vent rise and total
horizontal vent run for your installation. All measurements are made from the center of the vent opening in
the back of the fireplace.
5. The recommended restrictor settings in the venting
charts allow up to two 90° elbows (or 45° elbow
equivalents) to be used without affecting the restrictor
settings. Additional elbows will require that you
calculate a new equivalent horizontal run for your
installation to account for the additional flow resistance caused by the extra elbows. For the purposes
of calculating the equivalent horizontal vent run, each
additional 90° elbow is equivalent to three feet of
horizontal vent run and each additional 45° elbow is
equivalent to 1.5 feet of horizontal vent run. The total
horizontal vent run including elbow equivalents can
not exceed 10 feet.
6. The maximum vertical vent rise can not exceed 20 feet.
7. There are two exhaust restrictors that are provided
with your fireplace. They are labeled “A” and “B”. The A
restrictor provides less exhaust restriction than B.
8. An air restrictor plate is also provided with your
fireplace. It is a ring with bendable tabs that can be
set to adjust the amount of restriction in the air supply
system. Once the appropriate number tabs are bent
open (in accordance with the requirements for your
installation), the plate is inserted between the fireplace
and the vent starter pipe.

3. If your fireplace will not be venting directly though an
outside wall to a horizontal termination or if more than
30" of horizontal vent run is required, some vertical
vent rise will be required for the fireplace to function
and vent properly. Elbows will also be required for
those installations. However, installations are limited
to a maximum of four 90° elbows (or 45° elbow
equivalents).
4. Note: Two 45° elbows equal one 90° elbow.

INSTALLATION
Installing the Outer Vent Heat Shields and Vent
Termination (Parallel Installation on Outside Wall)
20. Before you install the horizontal vent termination,
you must first install the second halves of the two
telescoping vent pipe heat shields. Each shield half
simply slips over the half you previously attached to
the fireplace mounting plate and can now be seen
inside the vent pass-through in the wall.
24. Slide the vent termination (cap) into the siding recess
(or vinyl siding shield) until it bottoms out. Note: The
rear surface of the vent termination will push the
telescoping vent pipe heat shields inward. When the
vent termination is in place the heat shields will just
touch the rear surface of the termination.
21. Install the outer shield first and the inner second.
Leave about 1-1/4” of the shields protruding past the
house sheathing.
22. Install the horizontal vent termination (vent cap). Be
sure the arrow on the cap (if present) is pointing
up and reconfirm that all the vent cap location
requirements per pages 23-24 and the vent
manufacturers requirements are met.
23. Slip the inner and outer vent termination pipes onto
the vent starter pipe taking care to align the inner and
outer pipes to prevent damage.
25. Pull the vent cap away from the sheathing and install
a small bead of non-hardening silicone sealer around
the cap perimeter. Push the cap in place.
26. Install the mounting screws (included with the cap) to
hold the vent cap to the sheathing See the venting
manufacturers instructions for the location of the
mounting holes. Typical mounting hole locations
are shown in the adjacent photo. See the venting
manufacturers instructions for more information or if
using the vinyl siding shield.

INSTALLATION
Installing the Outer Vent Heat Shields
(Partition Wall Installation)
1. Before you install the additional vent pipe and elbow(s)
that will complete the venting installation, you must first
install the second sections of the vent pipe heat shields
to protect the combustible materials around the vent
pipe pass-through in the partition wall that the fireplace
is mounted on. Each shield half simply slips over the
half you previously attached to the fireplace mounting
plate and that can now be seen inside the vent passthrough in the partition wall.
2. Install the outer shield first and the inner second. Leave
at least 2" of both shields protruding past the partition
wall framing or wall covering. See the photo on page
31.
Vent Pipe and Vent Termination Installation
(Partition Wall Installation)
1. The specific details of the vent configuration from the
vent starter pipe on the fireplace to the horizontal
or vertical vent termination (cap) when the fireplace
is installed on an interior wall of the house will vary
depending on the location of the fireplace on the wall,
what is on the back side of the wall, where the vent
termination will be located (roof or exterior wall) and
on other code requirements for the location of the
vent termination as shown page 23-24. However, the
maximum vent length, measured along the centerline
of the pipe, from the back of the fireplace to the
start of the vent termination cannot exceed 30 feet,
including a maximum of 20 feet of vertical rise and a
maximum of 10 feet of horizontal run. If more than two
90° elbows (or equivalent 45° elbows) are needed for
your installation, the maximum amount of horizontal run
allowed is reduced. See the venting section starting on
page 17 for specific information. It is important to plan
the installation in advance so that you can accurately
locate the any wall or ceiling pass-throughs and the
vent termination on the exterior wall or roof. The vent
pipe sections are available only in certain increments of
length and in adjustable length sections. Plan carefully
before you start!
3. Be sure that the two vent pipe heat shields extend
at least 2" beyond the rear side of the partition wall
adjacent to the fireplace after the venting is installed.
4. Maintain a minimum 1 1/2" unobstructed air space
around the vent pipe where it passes through other
interior walls, the ceiling, the exterior wall or the roof.
5. N
ote: Vent manufacturer’s instructions and some
building codes may require the addition of blocking
above and below all wall pass-throughs, the addition
of vent manufacturer supplied fire-stops, wall thimbles,
attic insulation shields, interior trim collars, vent support
brackets, or other components. Please check with the
authority having jurisdiction in your area when planning
the venting installation to determine the specific code
requirements and exact venting components that are
required for your installation.
2. You will find it helpful to leave access to the area
behind the partition wall to facilitate installation of the
vent components. The pipe sections may have twist
lock connections which will be difficult to execute
without good access.

PLACING THE BURNER GLASS MEDIA
The burner glass media poly-bag that you set aside
when you unpacked the fireplace contains the correct
amount of glass material to cover the burner. DO NOT
add any additional media to the media supplied with your
fireplace. The entire contents of the bag should be evenly
distributed over the burner tray.
1. Locate the burner in the fireplace. Refer to the adjacent
illustration.
2. Carefully clip one corner of the poly-bag to form a
pouring spout. The opening should be large enough to
allow the glass media to flow but not so large that you
can’t control the flow.
3. You will notice that the burner surface is designed
with turned-up edges that form a tray to hold the glass
media.
Burner Tray
4. Starting at one end, pour the glass media onto the
burner tray, keeping the pouring spout on the polybag toward the center of the burner to avoid spillage
of glass pieces over the sides of the burner. See the
adjacent illustrations.
5. Once you have poured all of the glass burner media
into the burner tray, carefully smooth the glass pieces
out so they have a uniform depth over the entire
surface of the burner. When the burner glass media is
properly placed, it should look like the images here on
the right.
Note: If a few pieces of glass escape over the edges of
the burner tray during installation, it is not a problem.
They will simply land in the area below the burner and
will do no harm.

LIGHTING & OPERATION
FIRST FIRE INSTRUCTIONS
When operating your new fireplace for the first time, some
vapors may be released due to the curing compounds
used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause
a slight odor and could cause the flames to be the full
height of the firebox, or even slightly higher, for the first few
hours of operation. It is possible that these vapors could
set off smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room during the
burn off period. After a few hours use, the vapors will have
disappeared and the flames will be at their normal height.
Follow these instructions for a successful first fire;
1. Turn the fireplace on in Manual Mode.
2. Set flame height to HI.
4.Let the fireplace run for 3 hours at this setting then shut
off fireplace and let it cool.
5.After the fireplace cools, turn the fireplace on in manual
mode with flame on HI.
6.Allow fireplace to run for 6 hours in this setting.
NOTE: Slight Odors may still be noticed on future uses
of the fireplace but will diminish over time. The type of
finishing materials used around the fireplace may add
odors or add to the curing time. If the fireplace has not
been used in several months, it is normal for odors to
occur caused by lint or dust that has settled on the unit
while not in use.
SERVICING
If any attention is required for your appliance, contact your
dealer quoting the model number and serial number. This
number is on the rating plate, which is located adjacent
to the control module. The replacement parts are shown
at the end of this manual. Please always quote the part
number and description when requesting spare parts.
Warranty is void if serviced by a non-qualified technician.
FIREPLACE CONTROL DEVICES
There are two ways to control your fireplace.
1. SÓLAS One-Touch Remote (S-507)
2. Optional Wall Touch Pad (WTP-1500)
The SÓLAS One-Touch Remote can be programmed to

The Optional Wall Touch Pad can be used to turn the flame
on, off, and to increase or decrease the flame height.
NOTE: The SÓLAS One-Touch Remote in the
AUTO mode will override the Wall Touch Pad.
FLAME SUPERVISION DEVICE
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flame
supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply if, for
any reason, the pilot flame goes out. This device incorporates
a fixed probe, which senses the heat from the pilot flame. If
the probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless
manually lighting the pilot. See full lighting instructions.

GAS CONVERSION
SÓLAS appliances are shipped from the factory ready for Natural Gas and are field convertible to Propane when a SÓLAS
gas conversion kit is used. Gas conversions must be performed by a qualified service technician, or licensed gas fitter
where local code requires. Installation must be performed by a licensed service technician, if not the warranty is void.
SÓLAS Gas Fireplaces are approved for installation at elevations up to 2000 feet in the U.S. and 1370 meters (4500 feet)
in Canada Without change. If your installation is at an elevation greater than those noted, consult with the local authority
having jurisdiction for gas product installations to determine their specific requirements for high altitude installations.

MAINTENANCE
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
A qualified service agency should conduct an annual
inspection and maintenance of your SÓLAS Gas Fireplace
including the overall installation and venting to keep
it running safely. The following procedures should be
performed only by a qualified service technician. The
gas supply should be turned off and the stove should be
completely cool whenever a maintenance procedure is
performed. All parts of the appliance that are removed for
servicing must be replaced prior to operation.
This appliance should be inspected before use and
at least annually by a qualified service technician.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive dust or lint from carpeting, bedding
materials, pets, etc. It is imperative that control
compartments and circulating air passageways of
this appliance be kept clean.
CLEANING THE BURNER & FIREBOX
During the annual inspection and maintenance
appointment, the service technician should clean the
burner and firebox. To gain access to the firebox and
burner, follow the instructions beginning on page 34
and 35 of this manual.
DO NOT USE A VACUUM CLEANER TO CLEAN THE
GLASS BURNER MEDIA.
A vacuum cleaner may be used to clean the metal parts
of the firebox. Leave the glass burner media in place.
Use a soft brush to clean the burner glass media. If the
burner media does need to be removed, carefully scoop
it off the burner and avoid dropping glass pieces in the air
gaps around the burner. Follow the instructions on page
33 of this manual when replacing the burner media on the
burner top.
AIR FLOW
The SÓLAS Gas Fireplace utilizes a convection air heat
exchange system to maximize heat delivered from the
fireplace. It is important that air flows freely through the
convection air system and out the air grills. Do not place
objects against the fireplace that will block the convection
air inlet flow or in front of any air outlet.
50
CLEANING GLASS AND PORCELAIN
ENAMEL PANELS
WARNING: Never clean the Glass or Enamel Panels
while they are hot. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
cleaners containing ammonia.
When the fireplace is first operated, there may be some
vapors and a visible white film left on the glass and
panels. This white film, a mineral deposit, is a normal
by-product of the combustion process in a gas appliance.
The composition of the deposit varies with location and
time and is believed to be associated with varying sulfur
content in the gas. You may experience this problem
intermittently.
We have consulted with ceramic glass manufacturers and
they cannot offer a definitive solution to the issue. The
following are recommendations only and are not meant
to guarantee results. NOTE: This is an issue beyond
SÓLAS’s control and is not covered under warranty.
• Clean the glass and porcelain enamel panels regularly
as soon as you notice a white film build-up. If the film is
left for a longer period of time it will etch into the glass
and may be harder or impossible to remove.
• NEVER use an abrasive cleaner or an Ammonia-based
cleaner on the ceramic glass. An abrasive cleaner will
compromise the strength of the glass, An emulsion type
cleaner is recommended.
• Use a damp, soft micro-fiber cloth or cotton cloth to
apply the cleaner. Dry glass with a soft, dry cloth. (Paper
towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to ceramic
glass and should not be used)
• We have had good results from the following products,
however we cannot guarantee results; Brasso, Polish
Plus by Kel-kem, Cook Top Clean Creme by Elco, White
Off by Rutland, Turtle Wax.
• DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT!
NOTE: The batteries in your SÓLAS One-Touch
remote control and control module are to be
replaced annually. Only use brand name alkaline
batteries such as Duracell or Energizer.

WARRANTY INFORMATION
THE WARRANTY
SÓLAS, LLC, a division of Progressive Manufacturing, Inc. (“SÓLAS"), Limited Lifetime
Warranty warrants your SÓLAS brand gas fireplace (“Product") to be free from defects
in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. The Product body and
firebox carry the Limited Lifetime Warranty on workmanship defects causing loss
of structural integrity. Ceramic glass carries the Limited Lifetime Warranty against
thermal breakage only. After installation, if covered components manufactured by
SÓLAS are found to be defective in material or workmanship during the Limited
Lifetime Warranty period and while the Product remains at the site of the original
installation, SÓLAS will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. If
repair or replacement is not commercially practical, SÓLAS will, at its option, refund
the purchase price or wholesale price of the SÓLAS product, whichever is applicable.
SÓLAS will also pay their prevailing labor rates, as determined in its sole discretion,
incurred in repairing or replacing such components during the warranty period.
THERE ARE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS to this Limited Lifetime Warranty as
described herein.
COVERAGE COMMENCEMENT DATE
Warranty coverage begins on the date of installation. The warranty shall commence
no later than 24 months following the date of product shipment from SÓLAS,
regardless of the installation date.
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
This Limited Lifetime Warranty applies only if the Product is installed in the United
States or Canada and only if operated and maintained in accordance with the
printed instructions accompanying the Product and in compliance with all applicable
installation and building codes and good trade practices.
This warranty is non-transferable and extends to the original owner only. The Product
must be purchased through a listed supplier of SÓLAS and proof of purchase must
be provided. The Product body and firebox carry the Limited Lifetime Warranty. The
following do not carry the Limited Lifetime Warranty, but are warranted as follows:
• Burner – Repair or replacement for three years from date of installation.
•
Gas components & electrical components – Repair or replacement for one
year from date of installation.
•
Blowers & remote controls – Repair or replacement for one year from the
date of installation.
•
Porcelain Firebox Liners – Replacement for one year against cracking or
breakage due to thermal stress from date of installation. Excludes surface and
hairline cracks and scratches or slight color changes that do not affect the
operation or safety of the unit.
• Gaskets – Repair or replacement for one year from the date of installation.
• Surrounds – Replacement for one year against cracking or breakage due to
thermal stress. Excludes surface and hairline cracks and scratches or slight
color changes that do not affect the operation or safety of the unit.
• Labor coverage – Prevailing SÓLAS rates apply for the warranty period of the
component. SÓLAS will not be liable for travel costs for service work.
SÓLAS will not be responsible for: (a) damages caused by normal wear and tear,
accident, riot, fire, flood, or acts of God; (b) damages caused by abuse, negligence,
misuse, or unauthorized alteration or repair of the Product affecting its stability or
performance. The Product must be subjected to normal use. The product is designed
to burn either natural or propane gas only. Burning conventional fuels such as wood,
coal or any other solid fuel will cause damage to the Product, will produce excessive
temperatures and could result in a fire hazard. (c) Damages caused by failing to
provide proper maintenance and service in accordance with the instructions provided
with the Product; (d) damages, repairs or inefficiency resulting from faulty installation
or application of the Product.
Discoloration and some minor expansion, contraction, or movement of certain parts
and resulting noise is normal and not a defect, and, therefore, not covered under
warranty. The installer must ensure the appliance is burning as per the rating tag
at the time of installation. Over-firing (operation above the listed BTU rate) of this
appliance can cause serious damage and will nullify this warranty.
Damage to stainless steel, gold, nickel or porcelain enameled surfaces caused by
fingerprints, scratches, melted items, or other external sources left on these surfaces
from the use of cleaners is not covered in this warranty.
SÓLAS is not responsible for inadequate fireplace system draft caused by air
conditioning and heating systems, mechanical ventilation systems, or general
construction conditions which may generate negative pressure in the room in which
the appliance is installed. Additionally, SÓLAS assumes no responsibility for drafting
conditions caused by venting configurations, adjoining trees or buildings, adverse
wind conditions or unusual environmental factors and conditions that affect the
operation of the unit.
This Limited Lifetime Warranty covers only parts and labor as provided herein. In no
case shall SÓLAS be responsible for materials, components, or construction, which
are not manufactured or supplied by SÓLAS or for the labor necessary to install,
repair, or remove such materials, components, or construction. Additional utility
bills incurred due to any malfunction or defect in equipment are not covered by this
warranty. All replacement or repair components will be shipped F.O.B. from the
nearest stocking SÓLAS facility.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
It is expressly agreed and understood that SÓLAS’ sole obligation and the
purchaser’s exclusive remedy under this warranty, under any other warranty,
expressed or implied, or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement,
repair, or refund, as specified herein.
In no event shall SÓLAS be liable for any incidental or consequential damages
caused by defects in the Product, whether such damage occurs or is discovered
before or after repair or replacement, and whether such damage is caused by
SÓLAS’ negligence. SÓLAS has not made and does not make any representation or
warranty of fitness for a particular use or purpose, and there is no implied condition of
fitness for a particular purpose.
SÓLAS makes no expressed warranties except as stated in this Limited Lifetime
Warranty. The duration of any implied warranty is limited to the duration of this
expressed warranty.
No one is authorized to change this Limited Lifetime Warranty or to create for SÓLAS
any other obligation or liability in connection with the Product. Some states and
provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. The provisions
of this Limited Lifetime Warranty are in addition to and not a modification of or
subtraction from any statutory warranties and other rights and remedies provided
by law.
INVESTIGATION OF CLAIMS AGAINST WARRANTY
SÓLAS reserves the right to investigate any and all claims against this Limited
Lifetime Warranty and to decide, in its sole discretion, upon the method of settlement.
To receive the benefits and advantages described in this Limited Lifetime Warranty,
the appliance must be installed and repaired by a licensed contractor approved by
SÓLAS.
Contact SÓLAS at the address provided herein to obtain a listing of approved
dealers/distributors. SÓLAS shall in no event be responsible for any warranty work
done by a contractor that is not approved without first obtaining SÓLAS’ prior written
consent.
