IV. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
AMPER CONTROL LEVER
FIREPLACE GRATE:
he damper control lever located inside the top front of
le firebox has been engineered to provide safe opera-
I n of your fireplace. Do not close the damper in an at-
mpt to reduce a large fire. To do so may cause a poten-
31
smoke hazard, just as any fuel-burning appliance
ould do if not properly exhausted. If you forget to open
re damper before you start your fire (you will know im-
~ediately by the smoke entering your home), simply move
le damper lever from its closed position notch to the open
osition (Figure 45).
This unit has been equipped with a grate to keep the
operation of your fireplace efficient and safe. Do not at-
tempt t o defeat its purpose. The size and position of the
grate was engineered to give the ideal -combustion
characteristics for the fire. By keeping your logs within the
grate and not on the hearth, you will prevent the chance
of a log "spill" or roll out of the fireplace. DO NOT
OVERLOAD THE FIREPLACE. Piling excessive wood on
your grate will not increase efficiency and could possibly
cause smoke to enter your room. Keep the hearth area
under the grate free of excessive ash build-up to allow a
he fireplace flue damper must always remain open until
free flow of air for the fire.
le fire is totally out. Partially burned logs can appear to
e out even when still burning and giving off dangerous
ases. If the damper is closed too soon, these gases may

The outside combustion air kit is an optional accessory
installed at the time of fireplace installation. It aids greatly
in the efficient operation of your fireplace. It should be
opened during operation as shown in Figure 46.
