RHW-44 WOODBURNING FIREPLACE
WARNING!
A CHIMNEY FIRE CAN PERMANENTLY DAM-
AGE YOUR CHIMNEY SYSTEM. THIS DAMAGE
CAN ONLY BE REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE
DAMAGED COMPONENT PARTS. CHIMNEY
FIRES ARE NOT COVERED BY THE LIMITED
WARRANTY AND BUYER PROTECTION PLAN.
CLEAR SPACE NEAR FIREPLACE. The hearth
extension must extend at least 16" to the front and 8
inches to the sides of the firebox opening.
Combustible materials must not be stored in this
area. Combustible walls perpendicular to the front of
the fireplace must be at least 20" from the fireplace
opening. Room furnishings such as drapes, curtains,
chairs, or other combustibles must be at least 4 feet
from the open front of the fireplace.
GRATE. The factory installed integral grate must be
used to hold the logs from falling out of an open fire-
place and to allow air to pass between the burning
logs. It is important to keep the fire off the hearth
and to allow the ashes to collect beneath the fire,
thereby forming a layer of additional heat protection.
See Figure 25. Use only model number GR8 integral
grate for replacement.
FIRESCREEN. A firescreen is always provided to
control sparks. It must be closed whenever the fire-
place is in use. Glass doors or firescreens must not
be used to hold burning material inside the fireplace.
Only those glass door units specifically tested and
listed for use with the specific fireplace model should
be used. Screens should be closed when the glass
doors are closed.

WITH CARE.
NEGATIVE AIR PRESSURE WITHIN THE STRUC-
TURE. This fireplace will operate correctly only if
adequate ventilation is provided to allow proper draft
to the fireplace system. Heat-N-Glo assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of the
fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to
environmental conditions, downdrafts, tight sealing
construction of the structure, or mechanical exhaust-
ing devices which create a negative air pressure
within the structure where the fireplace is located.
OUTSIDE AIR KIT OPERATION. A damper control
handle allows the individual control of the outside air
inlets if your fireplace is equipped with this option.
Use of outside air for combustion is highly recom-
mended to conserve heated air within the structure
and to provide make up air to keep the fireplace vent-
ing properly.
