WARNING: If this fireplace is not properly installed, a house fire may result.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Follow the installation directions. This fireplace can be very hot when burning. Combustible mate-
rials such as firewood, wet clothing, etc. placed too close can catch fire. Children and pets must be
kept from touching the fireplace when it is hot. The chimney must be sound and free of cracks.
Before installing this unit, contact the local building or fire authority and follow their guidelines.
Operate only with the door tightly closed. Burn wood behind the log retainer directly on the fire-
bricks. Do not use an elevated grate or otherwise raise the fire. This fireplace is designed to burn
natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried
seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods. Do not
start a fire with chemicals or fluids such as gasoline, engine oil, etc. Do not burn treated wood,
coal, charcoal, coloured paper, cardboard, solvents or garbage. Do not let the fireplace become
hot enough for any part to glow red.
