Before beginning the fi replace installation,
consult the local authorities to obtain your

OPERATING THE FIREPLACE
Fuel -
USE SOLID NATURAL WOOD FUEL
ONLY. This appliance is designed to burn dry
seasoned natural wood only (see Page 6 for a
list of prohibited fuels). Failure to burn proper
fuels only will void the certifi cation and the
warranty of the appliance. Hardwoods are pre-
ferred to softwoods since the energy content of
wood is relative to its density. Hardwoods will
result in a longer burning fi re and less frequent
refueling. A moisture content of 15% to 20%
(seasoned) is recommended. Wood that has
been cut and split and let to dry under a cover
for a period of one year will usually meet that
criteria. The required drying time will vary
depending on the climate. Wood that is packed
tight together will take longer to dry. Seasoned
wood is darker in color than wet wood and will
have visible cracks in the grain on the ends.
Excessively wet wood will be diffi cult to burn
and will result in lower effi ciency, increased
creosoting and deposits on the glass and in
the chimney. Excessively dry wood will burn
well but will also have higher emissions and
shorter burning time.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that
exceed heater design specifi cations can result
in permanent damage to the heater.
First Fires
Before using the fi replace make sure to remove
the plastic wrapping and EPA label on plated
door. Remove any glue residue left by the
label using mild soap.

only,
The fi rst fi ve or six fi res should be small fi res of
short duration (about 30 to 60 minutes). This
will help cure the refractory bricks. During the
fi rst few fi res of this appliance there may be
some odor and smoke due to the curing of the
paint, dust accumulation and burning off of
lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
It may set off a smoke alarm located in the same
room. For this reason the room should be well
ventilated for the fi rst few fi res.
