EM SERIES WOODBURNING FIREPLACE
STARTING THE FIRE.
Check the flue damper to be certain it is in the full
open position. Place crumpled or twisted paper under
the fireplace grate. Loosely arrange kindling or small
pieces of wood to form a layer above the paper. Light
the paper and add small pieces of wood until a hot
bed of embers has been established. At this point
add progressively larger pieces of wood until you are
able to position 4" diameter split logs as shown in
Figure 23.
When first lighting your fireplace, it may be necessary
to pre-warm the flue to establish a draft. This is done
by holding a rolled up piece of burning newspaper
under the flue damper for a few moments. This will
prevent smoke spillage during start-up.

Firewood should be seasoned for at least 6 months
before it can be burned as a fireplace fuel.
Improperly seasoned (green or wet) wood will cause
the fireplace to smoke, will allow creosote deposits
to rapidly buildup in the chimney system and may
cause roof stains to develop.
Fuel products with abnormal burning characteristics,
including scrap lumber, wax or plastic coated card-
board and other highly volatile fuels that burn at
excessive temperatures, may cause the fireplace to
operate in an unsafe manner. U.L. Classified
Manufactured Logs may be used in this fireplace.
Flammable liquid fuel are explosive and must never
be used to start or freshen a fire. Heat-N-Glo does
not warrant the structural or functional performance
of the fireplace system when such synthetic fuels or
flammable liquids have been used.
NOTE: When heated for the first several times,
the fireplace should be heated gradually to pre-
vent moisture in the refractory from causing
cracks and to allow binders in the insulation to
dissipate. You will notice an industrial odor dur-
ing the first few fires that are burned. This is
considered to be normal.

Use only a solid wood fuel or a listed Heat-N-Glo
gas log set. Do not use a fireplace insert or prod-
ucts not specifically tested and listed for use in
this fireplace. Use common sense when burning
this fireplace. The fire must be built on the fire-
place grate, without danger of the burning fuel
falling out of the firebox.
CAUTION:
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASO-
LINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL,
KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER
FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO
START OR 'FRESHEN UP' A FIRE
IN THIS FIREPLACE. KEEP ALL
SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
THE FIREPLACE WHILE IT IS IN
USE TO AVOID THE RISK OF A
HOSTILE FIRE.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES. Ashes should be placed in a
metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed con-
tainer of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are dis-
posed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dis-
persed, they should be retained in the closed contain-
er until all embers have thoroughly cooled.
GLASS DOORS. Most efficient fireplace operation
using Glass Doors is with the Doors open. When
the Doors are open, the Screen must be closed.
Only Heat-N-Glo Cabinet Glass Doors, Model
Number GDA-225 or HTI Bi-Fold Glass Doors
