INSTRUCTIONS

NOTICE:

SAVE AND PASS THESE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS AND THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS TO SUBSEQUENT
OWNERS.  THE INFORMATION
PROVIDED IS INTENDED TO NOTIFY
AND WARN THEM ABOUT MAKING
UNSAFE FUTURE MODIFICATIONS SUCH
AS THE ADDITION OF SHELVES OR THE
USE OF UNAUTHORIZED PARTS AND
REPAIRS.

CAUTION:

EDGES ARE SHARP!  HAND PRO-

TECTION IS RECOMMENDED.

This fireplace is intended to operate as a supplemen-
tal heat source for a single room.  It is not designed
to function as a primary heat source.

Fireplaces, as well as other woodburning appliances,
have been used safely for many years.  It has been
our experience that most problems are caused by
improper installation and operation of the unit.  Make
certain that installation and operation of the fireplace
system is in accordance with these instructions.

WARNING!

DO NOT OPERATE THIS FIREPLACE WITH

THE FLUE DAMPER IN THE CLOSED POSI-

TION.  COMBUSTION PRODUCTS MUST

VENT UP THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM TO PRE-

VENT CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING,

AND TO PREVENT HOT COMBUSTION

GASES FROM CONTACTING AND OVER-

HEATING COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.

FAILURE TO OPERATE THIS FIREPLACE

WITH THE DAMPER IN THE OPEN POSI-

TION MAY RESULT IN ASPHYXIATION OR

A STRUCTURE FIRE.

CAUTION:

FIREPLACE OPERATION DOES RE-
QUIRE AIR.  DO NOT TAKE AIR
FROM OTHER FUEL BURNING
APPLIANCES WHICH CAN RESULT
IN IMPROPER VENTING (SMOKING)
OR AIR DILUTION.  ALWAYS PRO-
VIDE ADEQUATE MAKE-UP AIR. 

It is extremely important that the fire be super-
vised whenever the fireplace is in use.  It is also
recommended that an annual inspection be per-
formed on the fireplace system to determine if
the flue system needs to be cleaned, or as in
the case of any appliance, if minor repairs are
required to maintain the system in top operating
condition.

INTENDED USAGE.  

This factory-built fire-

place is intended for use with either solid fuel
(firewood) or a decorative gas appliance that
has been tested and listed to the Standard for
Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in
Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60.  When oper-
ating your fireplace, the flue damper must
be in the open position.

This fireplace was not tested and listed for use
with an unvented gas log heater.  Do not install
an unvented gas log heater in this fireplace and
operate it with the flue damper in the full closed
position unless the unvented gas log has been
specifically tested and listed for use in this fire-
place by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.  Use of
an unvented gas log heater in this factory-build
fireplace may create a fire hazard that can
result in a structure fire.
