approximately 30 minutes after fuel is lit.
2.
High Burn Setting:
The fan may be left on through-
out the burn.
3.
Medium or Medium High Burn Setting:
The fan
should be left off until a good burn is established,
then turned on a medium or high rate.

turn the blower on and off depending on the tempera-
ture of the fireplace. If the fan is not coming on at
the desired time, flip the override switch to manual and
operate the fan as described above.
The override switch and the fan speed control are hard

6. Burning Guidelines
The Heat-Zone accessory kit conveys warm air from
the fireplace through air duct(s) to remote locations in
the same room or other rooms of the building. One or
two Heat-Zone kits can be installed on the fireplace.
Follow the instructions that is supplied with the kit.
Installation of this kit MUST be performed by a qualified
service technician. If any parts are missing or damaged,
contact your local Dealer before starting installation.
DO NOT install a damaged kit.
The Heat-Zone kit is carefully engineered and must be
installed only as specified. If you modify it or any of
its components, you will void the warranty and you
may possibly cause a fire hazard. Installation must be
done according to applicable local, state, provincial,
and/or national codes.
CAUTION:
ALL wiring should be done by a qualified electrician and
shall be in compliance with local codes and with the
National Electric Code ANSI/NF No. 70-current (in the
United States), or with the current CSC22.1 Canadian
Electric Code (inCanada).

Screen Instructions
Alway wear gloves when installing or removing the
screen as the screen may become extremely hot while
in use. Use both hands to stablize the screen. Ensure
that the screen is fully attached. Be careful not to stack
wood close to the front or too high that logs could roll out
the front. Start with a small fire and adjust your heat to
desired setting. If smoke spillage occurs, put on gloves
and then remove the screen and close the doors. Refer
to Flue Draft Troubleshooting on page 4.

THE FIRESCREEN MAY BECOME EXTREMELY HOT WHILE
