If this fireplace is not properly installed, a house fire could re-
sult. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Contact
your local authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal
building department or fire department) regarding restrictions
and installation requirements, and the need to obtain a permit.

CAUTION:
This appliance requires the need for room air for com-
bustion. Ensure there is enough ventilation air within the home for
the safe operation of all appliances at the same time. Starving ap-
pliances for air can cause severe back drafting, negative pressure
and nuisance outages. This appliance has an optional outside air
kit which can be purchased. This option is highly recommended
to prevent back drafting, negative pressure and nuisance outages.
Safety Warnings
THE CF780 IS CAPABLE OF BURNING CLEANLY PRIMARILY BECAUSE
IT HAS BEEN ENGINEERED TO QUICKLY BURN VERY HOT. THIS
RESULTS IN A BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN FIRE BUT CAN CAUSE DURABIL-
ITY PROBLEMS IF THE UNIT IS REGULARLY OVERLOADED AND/OR
OPERATED CONTINUOUSLY WITH LARGE WOOD LOADS. THE CF780
IS PRIMARILY A DECORATIVE APPLIANCE AND ACCORDINGLY LESS
EFFICIENT THAN A WOOD BURNING STOVE SO THERE IS NO BENEFIT
TO BURNING LARGE WOOD LOADS.
THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WILL ENSURE YOUR FIREPLACE BURNS
BEAUTIFULLY WHILE MAINTAINING ITS DURABILITY:
APPROXIMATE MAXIMUM LOG SIZE: 18" LONG, MAXIMUM LOAD: NO
MORE THAN 3 MEDIUM SPLIT LOGS.
THIS WOOD LOAD IS MORE THAN EFFICIENT TO FILL THE FIREBOX
COMPLETELY WITH FLAMES AND PROVIDE A LARGE AMOUNT OF
RADIANT HEAT.
THE CF780 WILL BURN WITH LARGE HIGH FLAMES REGARDLESS
OF HOW THE WOOD IS PLACED IN THE UNIT. STACKING THE WOOD
TEEPEE-STYLE AGAINST THE BACK OF THE FIREPLACE IS ACCEPTABLE.
IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SIGNS APPEAR IN YOUR FIREPLACE THEN
YOU ARE OVERFIRING:
- THE SCREEN CHANNEL IS WARPED
- THE DOOR CHANNEL IS WARPED
WARNING: OVER FIRING THE CF780 WILL CAUSE DURABILITY
PROBLEMS.
Creosote: Formation and Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which
combine with the expelled moisture from the wood to form creosote. The
creosote vapors can condense in the relatively cool chimney of a slow burn-
ing fire. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney
should be inspected periodically during the heating season to see if a creosote
build-up has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (¼”
or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire.
Fuel Wood
We recommend always burning your fireplace with split, dry, seasoned wood
logs. Do not use construction scraps (e.g. 2x4 or plywood scraps) as your
only supply of fuel as you can overheat and seriously damage the fireplace.
WARNING: BURN DRY WOOD ONLY.
DO NOT BURN DRIFTWOOD, TREATED WOOD, COAL,
GARBAGE, OR PLASTIC.
16. Do not use Composite/Bio logs as this can cause extreme temperatures
and cause severe damage within the fireplace. Use of these logs will null
and void your warranty.
17. Do not install in a sleeping room.
18. The structural integrity of the manufactured home floor, walls,and ceiling
roof must be maintained.
19.
DO NOT INSTALL
a gas log lighter. This is not permitted for use with this
fireplace.
