Monessen Hearth BWBC500MHB - Manual (Page 6)

6 61D0087
As wood is burned in the fireplace, room air enters
the fireplace through its “cool air inlet”, circulates
around the firebox, and exits the fireplace through its
“warm air outlet.” See Figure 2. This air circulation
cools the firebox.
HOW THIS FIREPLACE WORKS
Do not block or restrict air
circulation in any manner.
Blocking or restricting
the air flow will cause the
firebox to reach hazardous
temperatures.

The fireplace will go
through a curing process
(burning off oil residue,
etc.) the first few times it
is fired. Smoke and fumes
may be emitted from its
upper grille. Open a door
or window to let any
smoke or fumes escape
during curing period.
