BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FIREPLACE

1) Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new wood fireplace. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily
injury or even death. Install and use only in accordance with manufacturer's installation and operating instructions.
2) Check your local building codes - Building Inspection Department. You may require a permit before installing your fireplace. Be aware that local codes
and regulations may override some items in the manual.
3) Notify your home insurance company that you plan to install a fireplace insert or freestanding heater.
4) THE FIREPLACE CAN GET VERY HOT. DO NOT INSTALL, PLACE OR POSITION TV'S, PAINTINGS, PICTURES, CANDLES, FURNITURE, DRAPES
OR ANY OTHER COMBUSTIBLE ITEMS ON THE WALL OR NEAR THE FIREPLACE.
5) ENSURE THERE ARE NO EXHAUST FANS WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE FIREPLACE AS THIS CAN CAUSE THE FIREPLACE TO EMIT FUMES
BACK INTO THE ROOM.
6) ENSURE THERE IS ADEQUATE AIR SUPPLY WITHIN THE ROOM/AREA THE FIREPLACE IS BEING INSTALLED IN TO ENSURE PROPER
OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE. INSTALL OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR KIT IF IN DOUBT.
7) EVALUATE THE LOCATION OF YOUR FIREPLACE AND OPTIONAL COMPONENTS. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO DETERMINE HOW THE FIREPLACE
IS GOING TO BE FINISHED. THE FEATURES YOU WOULD LIKE TO INCORPORATE SUCH AS FINISH TRIM, OUTSIDE AIR AND FAN KIT NEED TO
BE EVALUATED.
8) DETERMINE WHAT THE THICKNESS OF YOUR DESIRED NON-COMBUSTIBLE FINISHING MATERIALS WILL BE INCLUDING THE
NON-COMBUSTIBLE BOARD. THIS PREDETERMINED THICKNESS WILL DICTATE THE POSITION OF THE NAILING FLANGES, FRAMING AND
OVERALL FINAL LOOK OF YOUR FIREPLACE.
9) Your fireplace is heavy and requires two or more people to move it safely. The fireplace can be badly damaged by mishandling and or injury can occur.
10) Do not connect the fireplace to a flue system servicing another appliance or an air distribution duct.
WARNING: CARELESS INSTALLATION IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF SAFETY HAZARD. CHECK ALL LOCAL BUILDING AND SAFETY CODES BEFORE
INSTALLATION OF UNIT.
THE APPLIANCE, WHEN INSTALLED, MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES.
