Over-Firing the Fireplace (Over-Firing may void your warranty)

DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater
design specifications can result in permanent damage to the heater.
This fireplace was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in vent
configuration, fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If the area
behind the faceplate or other area starts to glow red, you are over-firing the fireplace (this may
damage the optional gold surface, internal components, and void the warranty). Do not burn
excessively large fires for a long time. Shut the air control down and allow the fireplace to cool if you
detect over-firing.

Operating the Fireplace During a Power Outage

This fireplace includes a blower to dissipate heat from the firebox. During power outages build small
to medium-sized fires to prevent the fireplace from over-firing (especially if you have a gold face).

Drafting Performance

Draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in
your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other
factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the
heater. Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the room and `plugging' of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney
connector joints. An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
