• 

Never block the air circulation grills, either the inlet or outlet. This will create overheating of the structure and a 
possible fire hazard.

• 

Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” 
a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such liquids well away from the fireplace while it is in use.

• 

Use only solid wood or processed solid fuel fire logs. Do not poke or stir the fire logs while they are burning. Use only 
fire logs that have been evaluated and listed for use in a fireplace. Refer to the fire log warnings and caution markings on 
the packaging prior to use. Do not burn coal. 

• 

Contain the fire behind the internal log retainer. Accidental spillage of burning fuel may occur when the door is opened 
if fuel exists in front of the retainer.

• 

Never load the fireplace with cardboard, paper or rapidly combustible material. This will cause overheating of the steel 
structure and a possible fire hazard.

• 

Do not allow this unit to smolder or burn without flame. This will create excessive creosote formation which may lead 
to a chimney fire.

• 

Always have a fire extinguisher, rated for multi-purpose, readily available near the fireplace in case of a dangerous 
condition.

• 

Failure to use or install this fireplace as stated in this manual will void all warranties and may create a dangerous 
condition which may result in loss of property or life.

• 

Never plug the outside air supply. Unlike “normal” zero clearance fireplaces, the GranView fireplace cannot leak cold air 
into the home due to our totally sealed air connection and air tight doors on the unit.

• 

Never use this unit with broken or missing firebrick panels.

• 

Do not burn treated wood or wood that has been immersed in saltwater.

• 

Do not use a fireplace insert or other products not specified for use with this fireplace.

• 

It is recommended to install a smoke detector and CO detector in the room where the fireplace is located.

• 

If any part becomes damaged contact your dealer or Wilkening Fireplace Co. for an appropriate replacement.  
Do not replace any part with substitute materials.

• 

Warning: Do not slam the doors closed as damage to the glass panels and door frames and gaskets can occur. Cracked 
or broken glass must be replaced prior to use.

• 

Caution: Do not build the fire directly against the glass.

• 

Caution: This fireplace requires air to operate. Do not operate this appliance with the outside air supply closed as a 
buildup of gasses inside the fireplace may cause and explosion or excessive creosote buildup.

• 

Warning: 

Do not over fire

 this appliance. Damage to this appliance will occur which may cause a structure fire and 

result in a loss of life.

CAUTION
