Usage Features

Fuel: Use SOLID WOOD only. Dry and well-seasoned hardwood is recommended. Do NOT use treated wood, charcoal, coal, trash, driftwood, or woods dipped in tar, pitch, pine tar, creosote, or wood products with synthetic binders.
Starting a Fire: Never use gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids.
Damper: When using a decorative appliance, the fireplace damper must be set in the fully open position.
Overfiring: Avoid burning excessive quantities of scrap lumber, pine branches, paper, or cardboard boxes that exceed the volume of a normal log fire. Do not burn trash, chemicals, or chemically treated combustibles, as this can damage the fireplace system and pose hazards.
Glass Doors: If equipped, glass doors must be fully opened or fully closed. Never leave them partially open.
Outside Air Kit: If installed, ensures adequate air for combustion.
Fan/Blower Kit (Optional): For circulating models, enhances heat distribution. Use only IHP manufactured blowers.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Burning improper fuel (e.g., charcoal) can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, or nausea. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Smoke Detectors: Recommended in hallways adjacent to the room where the fireplace is installed.

Maintenance Features

Ash Disposal: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid and placed on a noncombustible surface, away from combustible materials, until thoroughly cooled.
Creosote Removal: When wood is burned slowly, creosote accumulates in the chimney flue. The chimney should be inspected at least twice a year during the heating season. If creosote accumulates to 1/8" (3 mm) or more, it must be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Chimney Inspection: Inspect the chimney at least twice a year.
Cleaning Glass Doors: Use commercial glass cleaner or soap and water. Do not use abrasive material.
General Maintenance: Any alteration, service, or maintenance must be performed by a qualified installer or local distributor. Refer to the manual for specific instructions regarding the replacement of parts.
Warranty: The product comes with a 20-year limited warranty covering various components, with specific durations for different parts (e.g., 5 years for electrical components, 2 years for refractory and glass). The warranty requires installation by a qualified installer and adherence to local codes.
