    11. Never leave the fireplace unattended when in use. 12. We strongly recommend the installation of a steel fireplace grate on the floor of the fireplace before starting to make fires. This makes it easier to ignite the fire, directing heat away from the floor which extends the life of the floor by inhibiting the formation of small cracks from excess heat.These grates are available at hardware and building supply outlets.
