Operating Instructions
Fire Risk
• Do not operate fi replace before reading
and understanding operating instructions.
Failure to operate fi replace properly may
cause fi re.
WARNING
A. General Information
Fireplaces, as well as other woodburning appliances, have
been used safely for many years. It has been our experience
that most problems are caused by improper installation and
operation of the fi replace. Make certain that installation and
operation of the fi replace system is in accordance with these
instructions.
It is extremely important that the fi re be supervised when-
ever the fi replace is in use. It is also recommended that an
annual inspection be performed on the fi replace system to
determine if the fl ue system needs to be cleaned, or as in
the case of any appliance, if minor repairs are required to
maintain the system in top operating condition.
HOT SURFACES!
Glass and other surfaces are hot during
operation and cool down.
WARNING
• CAREFULLY SUPERVISE children in same room as
appliance.
• Alert children and adults to hazards of high temperatures.
High temperatures may ignite clothing or other
fl ammable materials.
• Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other combustibles
away.
Hot glass will cause burns.
• Do not touch glass until it is cooled
• NEVER allow children to touch glass
• Keep children away
Fire Risk
• For use with solid wood fuel or decorative gas
appliance only.
• Do not install unvented gas logs.
WARNING
Fire Risk
• Use only factory installed integral grate.
May cause overfi re.
WARNING
B. Grate
The factory installed integral grate must be used to hold the
logs from falling out of an open fi replace and to allow air to
pass between the burning logs. It is important to keep the
fi re off the hearth and to allow the ashes to collect beneath
the fi re, thereby forming a layer of additional heat protection.
