Fireplace Safety
WARNING: Extremely Hot!
Heat and ammability
• Some parts of the fi replace are extremely hot, particu-
larly the glass window. Use the barrier screen provided
or a gate to reduce the risk of severe burns.
• The glass windows can exceed 500°F at full capacity.
• Always keep the appliance clear and free from combus-
tible materials, gasoline, and other fl ammable vapors
and liquids.
• Be aware of hot wall surfaces! The wall directly above
the fi replace can get very hot when the fi replace heats.
Although safe, it may reach temperatures in excess of
200ºF (93°C) depending on choice of optional accesso-
ries. Do not touch!
• Be aware of hot hearth/fl oor surfaces! Any projections
directly around the fi replace can get very hot when the
fi replace heats. Although safe, they may reach temper-
atures in excess of 200ºF (93°C) depending on elevation
of hearth. Be careful of touching these! Temperature
of projection surfaces will be reduced when barrier
screens are installed.
• Some materials or items, although safe, may discolor,
shrink, warp, crack, peel, and so on because of the heat
produced by the fi replace. Avoid placing candles, paint-
ings, photos and other combustible objects sensitive
to heat or furniture within 36 inches (0.9m) around the
fi replace.
• Solid wood fl ooring in front of the fi replace (if allowed)
may shrink during the heating season due to heat.
• Any safety screen, guard, or barrier removed for servic-
ing an appliance must be replaced prior to operating
the appliance
• Due to its high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffi c areas and away from furniture and
draperies.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperature and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers,
young children, and others may be susceptible to
accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recom-
mended if there are at-risk individuals in the house. To
restrict access to a fi replace or stove, install an adjust-
able safety gate to keep toddlers, young children, and
other at-risk individuals out of the room and away from
hot surfaces.
• A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from the
hot viewing glass is provided with this appliance and
shall be installed for the protection of children and
other at-risk individuals
• Clothing or fl ammable material should not be placed on
or near the appliance.
