chimney frequently. Under certain conditions of
use, creosote buildup may occur rapidly. Inspect

and clean if necessary. Using green or inade-
quately seasoned wood can greatly increase
creosote buildup. Use dry wood to minimize
creosote buildup.

kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liq-
uids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater.
Keep all such liquids well away from the heater
while it is in use.
12. DO NOT OVERFIRE: If heater or chimney con-
nector glows, you are overfiring. Overfiring this
appliance could cause a house fire. Overfiring is
a condition where the appliance is operated at
temperatures above its design capabilities.
Overfiring can be caused by improper installa-
tion, improper operation, lack of maintenance or
improper fuel usage. Damage caused from over-
firing is NOT covered under the manufacturer's
limited warranty.
13. NEVER LEAVE AN UNATTENDED FIREPLACE
INSERT BURNING ON HIGH. Operation of the
fireplace insert with the primary air control at its
highest burn rate setting for extended periods
can cause dangerous overfiring conditions. The
primary air control should only be positioned at
the highest setting during start-up procedures
and for short duration. When leaving the fire-
place insert unattended ensure that the primary
air control is set to the low or medium low
range.
14. The Start-Up Air Control must only be opened
(pulled out) during the start-up procedures.
CAUTION: OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE
WITH THE START-UP AIR CONTROL IN THE

dwelling. Be sure that you allow an adequate
source of fresh air into the room where the fire-
place insert is operating (see

quirements
on page 5).

pliance hot enough to warm your home can se-
verely burn anyone touching it. Keep children,
clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause

ance. Train them to stay a safe distance from
the appliance.
