Size of fire should never be bigger than the back of the firebox. DO NOT BUILD THE FIRE WHERE
FLAMES EXIT THE FIREPLACE OPENING. See illustration below:
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Make sure that your fireplace is completely cool before inspecting and cleaning it. If fire
previously made was a large one, probe through the ashes with a poker or fireplace shovel. Slowly
shovel the ashes into a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. This container should be stored
on a non-combustible surface, away from fire hazards. Ensure ashes are completely cold before
disposing of them appropriately.
2. Use a wire brush to clean the firebox floor.
3. If you have doubts on your ability to clean the chimney, have it cleaned by a professional. If you
were to clean it yourself, make sure to use a brush to clean the inside and outside of the chimney.
4. If smoke marks begin to appear on the exterior of the fireplace, apply the silicone provided from
the interior of the fireplace to fill in any gaps between the quarry stones.
Fire should be limited to the
interior of the fireplace, as
the shaded circle shows.
Due to thermal expansion and contraction, surface cracks may appear inside the fireplace. This is
normal, and will not affect the quality of your fireplace.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Your fireplace is designed to be used with natural, dry wood products only. DO NOT USE
CHARCOAL, PRESSURE TREATED LUMBER, CHIPPED WOOD PRODUCTS, SAPPY WOOD (SUCH
AS PINE), LAMINATED WOOD, OR ANY MATERIAL OTHER THAN DRY MEDIUM OR HARD
NATURAL FIREWOOD. Using wood that is not dry will cause the fireplace to emit a considerable
amount of smoke and could also cause permanent damage.
DO NOT USE LIQUID FUEL (firelighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene or similar liquids) TO START OR
MAINTAIN A FIRE. Do not use water to lower the temperature or extinguish fire in the fireplace.
WARNING: DO NOT ADD ANY ACCELERANTS OR OTHER NON-WOOD
PRODUCTS FOR FIRING, AS THIS CAN COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY
OF THE FIREPLACE, LEADING TO RISK OF PRODUCT FAILURE AND
PERSONAL INJURY. MAKE SURE TO AVOID EXTREME HEAT WHEN IN
USE TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF YOUR FIREPLACE.
