Safety Precautions
1. Please read these installation instructions completely before beginning installation procedures. Failure to follow them could cause
a fireplace malfunction resulting in serious injury and/or property damage.
2. Always check your local building codes prior to installation. The installation must comply with all local, regional, state and national
codes and regulations.
3. An adequate supply of replacement combustion air from outside the house must be available to the fire for the fireplace to operate
properly. A dual cooling air kit is required.
4. The fireplace must be installed with the Hearth & Home Technologies SL Series Chimney System.
The chimney system must always terminate outside the building. Be sure to follow all chimney specifications given in these installation
instructions.
5. NEVER leave children unattended when there is a fire burning in the fireplace.
6. This fireplace is built for solid fuel only. NEVER use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal light fluid, or similar
liquids in this fireplace. Keep any flammable liquids a safe distance from the fireplace.
7. DO NOT use chimney cleaners or flame colorants in your fireplace.
8. The flue damper must be open at all times when the fireplace is in use.
9. While servicing this fireplace, always shut off any electricity or gas to the fireplace. This will prevent possible electric shock or
burns. Also, make sure the fireplace is completely cooled before servicing.
10. To ensure a safe fireplace system and to prevent the build up of soot and creosote, inspect and clean the fireplace and chimney
prior to use and periodically during the burning season. See “Maintenance Instructions” in this manual for cleaning instructions.
