SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
IF THE INFORMATION IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IS NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLO-
SION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAM-
AGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. IMPROPER
INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, ALTERATION,
SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE CAN CAUSE INJURY

BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE YOUR APPLI-
ANCE. THIS APPLIANCE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED
WITH AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO REDUCE
RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL AN
UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO THE APPLIANCE..
• This appliance can be very hot when burning.
• Combustible materials such as firewood, wet cloth-
ing, etc. placed too close can catch fire.
• Children and pets must be kept from touching the
appliance when it is hot.
• The chimney must be sound and free of cracks.
Before installing this unit, contact the local building
or fire authority and follow their guidelines.
• Operate only with the door tightly closed.
• Do not use an elevated grate or otherwise raise
the fire.
• At least 14 square inches (90,3 square centime-
ters) of outside air must be admitted to the room or
directly to the unit through a 5” (127mm) diameter
pipe. Failure to provide this may starve other fuel
burning appliances from an adequate air supply.
• Make sure not to create negative pressure in the
installation room, e.g. by means of an exhaust fan
or similar mechanical blower, as this could affect
the combustion oft the wood insert or increase the
possibility of smoke leakage.
• This appliance is designed to burn natural wood
only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions
generally result when burning air dried seasoned
hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green
or freshly cut hardwoods.
• Do not burn green or freshly cut wood.
• Do not start a fire with chemicals or fluids such as
gasoline, engine oil, etc.
• Do not burn treated wood, coal, charcoal, colored
paper, cardboard, solvents or garbage.
• Do not let the appliance become hot enough for any
part to glow red.
• KEEP THE STOVE TOP TEMPERATURE BELOW
700°F (371°C). Attempts to achieve heat output
rates that exceed design specifications can result
in steel distortion and damage.
Safe Wood-Burning Practices
When using your wood burning appliance, follow these
guidelines for safe operation:
Keep flammable items, like curtains, furniture, news-
papers, and books, away from your appliance.
Only use newspaper, dry kindling and all-natural or
organic fire starters. Never start a fire with gasoline,
kerosene, or charcoal starter.
Do not burn wet or green (unseasoned) wood.
Many wax and sawdust logs are made for open hearth
wood insert only. Check your wood stove or wood insert
operating instructions before using artificial logs.
If you use manufactured logs, choose those made from
100 percent compressed sawdust.
Build hot fires. For most appliances, a smoldering fire
is not safe or efficient.
Keep the doors of your wood-burning appliance closed
unless loading or stoking the live fire. Harmful chemicals,
like carbon monoxide, can be released into your home.
Regularly remove ashes into a covered, metal container.
Store the container outdoors on a nonflammable surface.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
Do not burn:
1. Garbage
2. Lawn clippings or yard waste
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires
4. Materials containing plastic
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or
asphalt products
6. Materials containing asbestos
7. Construction or demolition debris
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood
9. Manure or animal remains
10. Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water
saturated materials
11. Unseasoned wood
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
The prohibition against burning these materials
does not prohibit the use of fire starters made
from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar
substances for the purpose of starting a fire in an
affected wood heater. Burning these materials may
result in release of toxic fumes or render the
heater ineffective and cause smoke.
