8. Chimney Fire

In the event of a chimney fire

• Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected by

qualified professionals. Hearth & Home Technologies

recommends that NFI or CSIA certified professionals,

or technicians under the direction of certified

professionals, conduct a minimum of an

NFPA 211

Level 2

inspection of the chimney.

• Replace components of the chimney and fireplace

as specified by the professionals.

• Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the

chimney is properly secured.

WARNING!

Risk of Fire!

A chimney fire can perma

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!

Risk of Fire!

Do not over-fire.

Over-firing may ignite creosote or will damage the

fireplace and chimney.

Symptoms of over-firing may include one or more of the

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.)

WARNING!

Risk of Fire! DO NOT

burn fireplace with

out molded brick panel. Use only panels supplied by

Hearth & Home Technologies.

4. Firescreen

The firescreen is provided to control sparks. Keep it

closed when the fireplace in use.

5. Flue Damper

The flue damper must be in the fully opened position

during operation of the fireplace.

Open

damper prior to operating fireplace. A closed damper

overfires the fireplace and spills smoke and flames

into the room.

6. Glass Doors

Install ONLY doors approved

by Hearth & Home Technologies.
