    IREPLACE OCATION CAUTION: Do not install fireplace over carpeting. This fireplace does not weigh more than large pieces of furniture and can normally be located near a load bearing wall without requiring additional foundations or supports. If however, the fireplace is to be trimmed with a heavy stone or brick facing and hearth extension, be sure the supporting structure is adequate.

    NSTALLATION REPARATION Survey the planned location for the fireplace for overhead plumbing or electrical wires, etc., that might complicate the installation or endanger persons installing or cleaning the chimney. Avoid a location where the chimney cap will be near abrupt changes in the roof shape, nearby wall or embankments, under or near trees or above the roof of a single story wing of a two story building as shown by Figure 8.

Extremely long runs and numerous turns in the duct leading from the fireplace to the combustion air assembly should be avoided. These conditions will increase the resistance to the free flow of air through the duct. Refer to Figures 1, 22, and 23 for methods of installing the outside air for combustion assemblies.

    PPLIANCE NSTALLATION Improper installation or operation of a gas appliance in this fireplace can allow unburned gas to leak ARNING out which will cause a fire or explosion hazard, or the release of poisonous carbon monoxide into the dwelling which can cause serious injury or death to its inhabitants. To reduce these risks to a minimum, the following important notices and instructions should be read and followed carefully.
  • Page 25 PPLIANCE NSTALLATION 7. Pack the insulation removed in step 4 around the pipe to prevent air flowing through the tube either into or out of the firebox. 8. Be sure the gas is turned off at the appliance, then turn the gas on at the cut off valve and test the gas line connections for leaks with soapy water solution or a liquid leak detector.

    IREPLACE PERATION : If a decorative gas appliance is used in the fireplace the fireplace damper must be fixed in an open ARNING position. (See additional operation information in section titled “Operation Guidelines”.) DVANTAGES OF A URNING IREPLACE These are the practical, ecological advantages of wood as a fuel. Also to be considered is the aesthetic appeal. Most of us consider a wood fire with nostalgia.
  • Page 28 IREPLACE PERATION You’ll need a minimum of three logs, preferably four, to make a good fire. Add kindling and new logs as needed to rekindle a dying fire. New logs should be added at the rear grate after raking the coals toward the front. D .
  • Page 29: Maintenance And Safety

    Make sure the chimney is clear from any accumulation of soot, creosote or any other debris, and that all joints are intact. Martin Hearth & Heating does not recommend chemical cleaners because some may contain elements that corrode the metal parts of the chimney or fireplace.
  • Page 30 AINTENANCE AND AFETY IREPLACE AINTENANCE At the end of each heating season or when the fireplace will not be in use for an extended time, the ashes should be removed and the hearth area should be swept as clean as is practical. The slow absorption of moisture into the ashes over a long period of time could cause a condition which would be corrosive to the metal fireplace parts.
  • Page 31 25. Don’t use the fireplace or chimney for venting wood or coal burning heaters or inserts unless approved in writing by Martin Hearth & Heating. 26. Don’t poke or stir the logs while they are burning. Use only firelogs that have been evaluated for the application in fireplace and refer to firelog warnings and caution markings on packaging prior to use.
