BW36 SERIES WOODBURNING FIREPLACE

No one builds a better fire

CAUTION:

WHEN LEFT CLOSED WHILE
BURNING YOUR FIREPLACE, FIRE-
SCREENS AND GLASS DOORS
WILL BE HOT.  HANDLE WITH
CARE.

OUTSIDE AIR. A damper control handle allows the
individual control of the outside air inlets if your fire-
place is equipped with this option.  Use of outside air
for combustion is highly recommended to conserve
heated air within the structure and to provide make
up air to keep the fireplace venting properly.

CLEAR SPACE NEAR FIREPLACE. The hearth
extension must extend at least 16 inches to the front
and 8” to the sides of the firebox opening for the
BW36 Series fireplace.  Combustible materials must
not be stored in this area.  Combustible walls perpen-
dicular to the front of the fireplace must be at least 12
inches from the fireplace opening.  Room furnishings
such as drapes, curtains, chairs, or other com-
bustibles must be at least 4 feet from the open front of
the fireplace.

GRATE. The factory installed integral grate must be
used to hold the logs from falling out of an open fire-
place and to allow air to pass between the burning
logs.  It is important to keep the fire off the hearth
and to allow the ashes to collect beneath the fire,
thereby forming a layer of additional heat protection.
See Figure 23, page 21.  Use only model number
GR16 integral grate for replacement.

NEGATIVE AIR PRESSURE WITHIN THE STRUC-
TURE.  
This fireplace will operate correctly only if
adequate ventilation is provided to allow proper draft
to the fireplace system.  Heat-N-Glo assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of the
fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to
environmental conditions, downdrafts, tight sealing
construction of the structure, or mechanical exhaust-
ing devices which create a negative air pressure with-
in the structure where the fireplace is located.
