-

nently  damage  your  chimney  system.  Failure  to  re

-

place damaged components and make proper repairs 

can cause a structure fire.

7.  Over-Firing Your Fireplace

 WARNING!

following:

•  chimney connector or fireplace glowing

•  roaring, rumbling noises

•  loud cracking or banging sounds

•  metal warping

•  chimney fire

To prevent over-firing your fireplace. DO NOT:

•  use flammable liquids

•  overload with wood

•  burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber 

• 

permit too much air to the fire

2. Grate

This fireplace is designed to be used with the supplied 

grate or one approved by HHT.

 WARNING! 

Risk of Fire! 

Use only the factory-sup-

plied integral grate.
•  Keeps logs in place.

•  Allows proper air circulation around the fire.

3.  Molded Brick Panel

•  The  molded  brick  panel  is  shipped  separately,  but 

required to contain heat and provide an attractive interior.

•  It  will  deteriorate  over  time  and  will  need  occasional 

replacement.  Small  hairline  cracks  and  discoloration 

are normal and do not affect its safety. 

•  Cracks in the mortar may occur and do not affect the 

safety of the fireplace. 

•  (See Molded Brick Panel Maintenance, Section 4.F.)

4. Firescreen

The  firescreen  is  provided  to  control  sparks.  Keep  it 

closed when the fireplace in use.

during operation of the fireplace.

 WARNING!

into the room.

by Hearth & Home Technologies.

 WARNING!
