7.2 Inspection
7.2.1 Home Owner
• This fireplace must be installed and serviced by your dealer or a qualified service technician. Other than
cleaning the glass and replacing the light bulbs, there are no user-serviceable components.
• Keep the area around the fireplace clean and free of debris. This fireplace requires an unimpeded flow
of air to circulate warm air. Do not place objects on or around the fireplace that may restrict air flow.
• Keep the area around the fireplace free of combustible materials – including drapery, upholstered
furniture, paper, boxes, and clothing. Never hang stockings or cards above the fireplace.
• Never operate the fireplace with the glass front removed or damaged. Any part removed for cleaning
or servicing must be replaced prior to operating the fireplace.
• The fireplace gets hot during operation and may remain hot for an hour after use. When operated by
thermostat, the fireplace will turn on and off automatically.
• This fireplace may become hot enough to burn skin and ignite clothing after prolonged contact.
To prevent injury, alert people in your home – especially children – to the hazards of high surface
temperatures and warn them to stay away from the fireplace.
• Supervise children whenever the fireplace is hot. Young children and others may be susceptible to
accidental contract burns. Have your dealer install a physical barrier if there are at-risk individuals in
your home. To restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers,
young children, and other at-risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.
• The vent cap, located on the outside of your home, will also become very hot. Alert everyone, adults
and children, to stay clear and avoid touching the vent cap. Keep the area around the vent cap clear of
combustibles, including shrubs and trees.
• Do not use this fireplace if any part has been underwater. Have a qualified technician inspect the
fireplace and replace any part that has been underwater.
• In the event of a natural disaster (tornado, earthquake, fire, etc.) have a qualified technician inspect
the fireplace for damage or potential gas leaks. Repair or replace any damaged components before
operating this fireplace.
• Never burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, paper or cardboard in this fireplace.
