If this fireplace is not properly installed, a house fire could result. For your safety, follow the installation
directions. Contact your local authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal building department, fire
department, fire prevention bureau, etc.) regarding restrictions and installation requirements, and the
need to obtain a permit.
To ANYONE using this fireplace: these DO's and DO NOTs are for your safety.
1. DO read this instruction manual before lighting your first fire.
2. DO burn seasoned wood fuel or densified fuel logs.
3. To avoid glass breakage, DO NOT slam the fireplace door.
4. DO NOT ever use gasoline, gasoline-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.
5. DO NOT overfire the fireplace. If you are unable to slow down the burning rate of the fire or if the
chimney connector behind the top louver glows red, you are overfiring the fireplace.
6. DO operate the fireplace with the door either fully closed or fully open with the firescreen. If the door is
left partly open, gas and flame can be drawn out of the fireplace opening, creating both fire and smoke
hazards.
