GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT! READ AND UNDER-
STAND BEFORE YOUR FIRST FIRE.
1. Use SOLID WOOD only for fuel. It is best to
use dry and well seasoned hardwood. Soft
woods tend to burn very quickly. DO NOT use
treated wood, charcoal, coal, trash, driftwood
or woods that have been dipped in tar, pitch,
pine tar, creosote, etc. Wood products made
with synthetic binders, such as plywood, pro-
duce abnormally high temperatures and
sputtering, smoking fires. When burning arti-
ficial logs, please read and follow the
instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Never burn treated construction lumber or
scraps. These woods burn excessively hot
and may contain chemicals used to treat
insects and fungus. When burned, these
chemicals can pose a significant hazard.
2. Keep the chimney damper open while any
fire or smoldering embers are present .

3. NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern
fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar
liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this
fireplace. Keep any flammable liquids a safe
distance from the fireplace.
4. With the fire burning, close the protective
mesh screens to keep sparks and embers
INSIDE the firebox.
5. Keep any combustible furniture or decora-
tive pillows at least 36" (914 mm) from the
fireplace opening.
6. Never leave your fireplace unattended while
it is burning.
7. Be careful adding wood fuel to the fire or
handling fireplace tools such as shovels, tongs
or pokers.
8. Never modify or alter your fireplace system
in any way. To do so may create a potential fire
hazard and void the Limited Warranty.
9. The bottom refractory can be cracked by
excessive abuse such as tossing heavy logs onto
the grate or gouging with fireplace tools. Exer-
cise caution when adding wood to your fireplace.
10. DO NOT use a fireplace insert or any other
product not specified by the manufacturer for
use with this fireplace.
11. If you are using your fireplace as a "deco-
rative appliance", such as with a permanently
installed gas log set, the fireplace damper
must be permanently fixed in the open posi-
tion. This includes unlisted "vent-free" gas log
sets. Listed "vent-free" log sets may be oper-
ated with the damper clamped closed.
12. Always ensure that an adequate supply of
replacement combustion air from the outside
of the house is accessible to the fire to support
normal combustion. Fireplaces consume large
volumes of air during the normal combustion
process. In the event the home is tightly sealed
with modern energy efficient features, an op-
tional combustion air kit may not provide all the
air required to support combustion.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE
The manufacturer is not responsible for any
smoking or related problems that may result
from the lack of adequate combustion air. It is
the responsibility of the builder/contractor to
ensure that adequate combustion air has been
provided for the fireplace.
13. The manufacturer does not warranty "smoke
free" operation nor are we responsible for inad-
equate system draft caused by mechanical
systems, general construction conditions, in-
adequate chimney heights, adverse wind
conditions and/or unusual environmental fac-
tors or conditions beyond our control.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. The all-steel, multi-wall firebox is the heat
center of the system. It is well insulated for safe
clearance to combustibles.
2. The hearth floor and sides of the firebox is
a brick pattern reinforced refractory base for
your fire.
3. The metal chimney sections extending from
the firebox top to beyond your roof are two
walled and air-cooled. The inner passage, or
flue, provides the exit for smoke and gases.
4. The flue damper is either fully open or fully
closed by the handle you find in the center and top
of the firebox. It must be open when fire is present
so smoke and gases can escape. It should be
closed only when the fire is completely out -
keeping room air from being lost up the flue.
5. Closed screens prevent fire, sparks and
embers from popping out of the firebox while
a fire is burning. Pull screens back when
adding wood to the firebox.
6. Why use a fuel grate? Besides positioning
the firebed properly, it protects the refractory
floor, back and sides of the fireplace. Further, it
ensures a proper flow of combustion air into
and around the firebed. The grate must be used
at all times when burning. Your warranty may
be voided without the use of this grate.
7. Remember, your fireplace is not intended to
heat your entire home. Their unique designs
are intended for architectural, decorating and
aesthetic considerations.

FUELS

Never Use Coal in Your Fireplace
Your fireplace system is not designed to be used
with coal derivative products. The combustion
process of certain types of coal can deposit corro-
sive materials in the fireplace and chimney system
which can lead to premature product failure.
Never use coal as a fuel in this fireplace system.
