WARNING!
NEVER INSTALL A SINGLE WALL
SLIP SECTION OR SMOKE-PIPE IN
A CHASE STRUCTURE. THE
HIGHER TEMPERATURE OF THIS
SINGLE WALL PIPE MAY RADIATE
SUFFICIENT HEAT TO COM-
BUSTIBLE CHASE CONSTRUC-
TION MATERIALS TO CAUSE A
FIRE.
This fireplace is intended to operate as a supple-
mental heat source for a single room. It is not
designed to function as a primary heat source for
a structure.
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 the
improper installation and operation of the unit. Make
certain installation and operation of the fireplace sys-
tem is in accordance with these instructions.
It is extremely important that the fire be supervised
whenever the fireplace is in use. It is also recom-
mended that an annual inspection be performed on
the fireplace system to determine if the flue system
needs to be cleaned, or as in the case of any appli-
ance, if minor repairs are required to maintain the
system in top operating condition.
INTENDED USAGE.
This factory-build fireplace 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 operating 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 unvent-
ed gas log heater in this fireplace and operate it with
the flue damper in the closed position unless the
unvented gas log set has been specifically tested and
listed for use in this fireplace by Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. Use of an unvented gas log heater
in this factory-built fireplace may create a fire hazard
that can result in a structure fire.
