SAFETY

 Continued

 WARNING: CONTINUED OVERFIRING CAN PER-

MANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR FIREPLACE SYSTEM. 

SOME EXAMPLES OF CONDITIONS THAT COULD 

CAUSE OVERFIRING ARE:

• BURNING QUANTITIES OF SCRAP LUMBER, PINE 

BRANCHES, PAPER OR CARDBOARD BOXES 

WHICH EXCEED THE VOLUME OF THE NORMAL 

LOG FIRE.

• BURNING TRASH, CHEMICALS OR CHEMICALLY 

TREATED COMBUSTIBLES.

Disposal of Ashes 
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a 

tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should 

be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, 

well away from all combustible materials, pending 

final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial 

in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be 

retained in the closed container until all cinders have 

thoroughly cooled.

WHEN USING THE DECORATIVE APPLIANCE, THE 

FIREPLACE DAMPER MUST BE SET IN THE FULLY 

OPEN POSITION.

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kero-

sene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start 

or ’freshen up’ a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such 

liquids well away from the fireplace while it is in use.

Use SOLID WOOD only for fuel. It is best to use dry 

and well seasoned hardwood. Softwoods tend to burn 

very quickly. DO NOT use treated wood, charcoal, coal, 

trash, driftwood or woods that have been dipped in tar, 

pitch, pine tar, creosote, etc. Wood products made 

with synthetic binders, such as plywood, produce ab-

normally high temperatures and sputtering, smoking 

fires.  When burning artificial logs, please read and 

follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Never burn treated construction lumber or scraps. 

These woods burn excessively hot and may contain 

chemicals used to treat insects and fungus. When 

burned, these chemicals can pose a significant hazard.

IMPORTANT: See appendix A, page 21 for additional 

information regarding draft requirements, smoking 

causes and troubleshooting.

 WARNING: BURNING IMPROPER FUEL (I.E. 

CHARCOAL) CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE 

POISONING, WHICH MAY LEAD TO DEATH! 
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning – Early signs of carbon 

monoxide poisoning resemble the flu with headaches, 

dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, get 

fresh air at once!  Have the appliance inspected by a 

qualified service technician.  Some people are more 

affected by carbon monoxide than others.  These 

include pregnant women, people with heart or lung 

disease or anemia, those under the influence of al-

cohol, and those at high altitudes.

Ventilation Requirements - Provide adequate air for 

combustion. The fresh air requirements of this ap-

pliance must be met within the space where it will 

be installed.

Smoke Detectors - Since there are always several 

potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend 

installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the 

smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to 

reduce the possibility of occasional false activation 

from the heat produced by the appliance).  If your local 

code requires a smoke detector be installed within the 

same room, you must follow the requirements of your 

local code. Check with your local building department 

for requirements in your area.

Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal 

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other 

organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture 

to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in 

the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning 

fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on 

the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an 

extremely hot fire. 

The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a 

year during the heating season to determine when a 

creosote buildup has occurred.  When creosote has 

accumulated (1/8" [3 mm] or more) it shall be removed 

to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
