Do not attach combustible material to the mantel of your fireplace. This
is a fire hazard.

• Have the fireplace floor and chimney professionally cleaned to remove
ashes, soot, creosote or other obstructions.
Have this cleaning performed annually after installation.
• Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-out doors located on floor or
wall of fireplace. If not, drafting may cause pilot
outage or sooting. Use a heat-resistant sealant. Do not seal chimney
flue damper.
