Page 4: Important Safety Information
For safety information regarding the operation of this fireplace, see pages 35-37. The FireRock Linear fireplace is a modular system designed to be assembled in field using FireRock Adhesive Mortar. Each component is designed for a specific part of the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue design, and therefore only one means of assembly is possible. -
Page 5: Intended Use Statement
The fireplaces and chimney system are tested and listed by Intertek Testing Service to UL 127 and UL 103. The FireRock fireplace is designed to burn wood, gas, or coal. Use solid wood, processed solid fuel fire logs, natural gas, propane, or coal fuel only. - Page 6 The FireRock Linear fireplace is approved for Indoor and Outdoor use.
