EM SERIES WOODBURNING FIREPLACE
WARNING!
A CHIMNEY FIRE CAN PERMA-
NENTLY DAMAGE YOUR CHIMNEY
SYSTEM. THIS DAMAGE CAN
ONLY BE REPAIRED BY REPLAC-
ING THE DAMAGED COMPONENT
PARTS. CHIMNEY FIRES ARE NOT
COVERED BY THE LIMITED WAR-
RANTY AND BUYER PROTECTION
PLAN.
CLEAR SPACE NEAR FIREPLACE.
The hearth extension must extend at least 16 inches
to the front and 8 inches to the sides of the firebox
opening for the EM-415R fireplaces and 20" to the
front and 12" to the sides of the firebox opening for
the EM-485R fireplace. Combustible materials must
not be stored in this area. Combustible walls perpen-
dicular to the front of the fireplace must be at least 12
inches from the fireplace opening. Room furnishings
such as drapes, curtains, chairs, or other com-
bustibles 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 fireplace 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 24.
Use only model number GR23 or GR24 Integral
Grate for replacement.

FIRESCREEN.
A firescreen is always provided to control sparks. It
must be closed whenever the fireplace 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.
WHEN LEFT CLOSED WHILE
BURNING YOUR FIREPLACE, FIRE-
SCREENS AND GLASS DOORS
WILL BE HOT. HANDLE WITH
CARE.
NEGATIVE AIR PRESSURE
WITHIN THE STRUCTURE.
This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate
ventilation is provided to allow proper draft to the fire-
place system. Heat-N-Glo assumes no responsibility
for the improper performance of the fireplace system
caused by inadequate draft due to environmental
conditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of
the structure, or mechanical exhausting devices
which create a negative air pressure within the struc-
ture where the fireplace is located.
OUTSIDE AIR.
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 recommended to conserve heated air within
the structure and to provide make up air to keep the
fireplace venting properly.
