Operating Instructions

A. General Information

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 ﬁ replace. Make certain that installation and
operation of the ﬁ replace system is in accordance with these
instructions.

It is extremely important that the ﬁ re be supervised when-
ever the ﬁ replace is in use. It is also recommended that an
annual inspection be performed on the ﬁ replace system to
determine if the ﬂ ue 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.

Fire Risk

• D o n o t o p e r a t e f i r e p l a c e b e f o r e
