WARNING
Some materials or items, although
safe, may discolor, shrink, warp,
crack, peel, and so on because of the
heat produced by the fireplace. Avoid
placing candles, paintings, photos, and
other items sensitive to heat around
the fireplace.

HOT GLASS! The use of a screen in front
of the glass is highly recommended
