4 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS : CAUTION : HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS. Never use chemicals or fluids, gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or « freshen up » a fire in this heater.
- to clean off (with a damp sponge and/or a dry cloth) any dirt collected during transport or installation. Actual scratches on painted designs can be retouched solely with the expressly provided focus can. If this is necessary, ventilate the area thouroughly before lighting your fire to disperse any fumes generated in the spraying process.
Building, starting and maintaining the fire : DO NOT OVERLOAD YOUR FOCUS FIREPLACE TO AVOID OVER- FIRING. Build the fire without elevating it, directly on the fire-dogs, not too close to the glasses. For starting the fire, we recommend using a small amount of fire starter with enough kindling (small logs or mill ends) to establish a primary fire.
CAUTION : CHEMICAL SWEEP NOT PERMITTED: ONLY MECHANICAL SWEEP ALLOWED ! Refering to focus black steel flue : it must absolutly be swept with a nylon brush. Never use metal brushes! Damage caused from non-observance of this caution is not covered under the focus limited warranty.
In that case, call a professional chimney sweeper or buy a brush at your local focus retailer and clean the chimney this way : Remove rain cap, use appropriately sized brush and sweep the entire system to remove all debris or refer to chimney manufacturer recommendations.
