CAUTION
This fireplace creates warm air currents. These currents move heat
to wall surfaces next to fireplace. Installing fireplace next to vinyl
or cloth wall coverings or operating fireplace where impurities in
the air (such as tobacco smoke) exist, may discolor walls.
IMPORTANT:
Vent-free fireplaces add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing fireplace in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form
from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 6 through 9.
