OPTIONAL GAS LINE INSTALLATION Continued
WARNING: Do not operate an unvented gas log
set in this fireplace with chimney removed.
If you install a decorative gas appliance (vented gas log), decorative
gas appliance must comply with the Standard for Decorative Gas
Appliance for Installation in Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces, ANSI
Z21.60/CSA 2.26 or Z21.84 and shall also be installed in accordance
with ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 National Fuel Gas Codes (USA) and CAN/
CGA-B149.1 National Gas And Propane Installation Code (Canada).
WARNING: To avoid the risk of damaging fireplace
materials and increasing the risk of spreading a fire,
do not use fireplace to cook or warm food.
WARNING: If the fireplace has been used for wood
burning, firebox and chimney must be cleaned of soot,
creosote and ashes be a qualified chimney cleaner.
Creosote will ignite if heavily heated.
WARNING: When using a decorative vented gas
log, damper must be removed or permanently locked
in fully open position and glass doors must be in fully
open position.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with this fireplace. When fireplace is in
operation, doors must be fully opened or fully closed position only
or a fire hazard may be created (see Figure 23).
A fireplace equipped with glass doors operates much differently than
a fireplace with an open front. A fireplace with glass doors has a
limited amount of air for combustion. Excessive heat within fireplace
can result if too large a fire is built or if combustion air gate is not
completely open.
The following tips should be used to assure that both fireplace and
glass door retain their beauty and function properly. Both the flue
damper and glass doors must be fully opened before starting a
fire. This will provide sufficient combustion air and maintain safe
temperatures in firebox.
IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly.
Tempered glass will withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550°
F, which is more than a normal fire will generate. Such materials as
pitch/wax laden logs, very dry mill end lumber and large amounts
of paper or cardboard boxes can create an excessively hot fire and
should not be burned in this fireplace. Always keep fire back from
doors and never allow flames to contact glass.
