Operating Precautions

Although the following operation precautions may have
been discussed earlier in this manual, they are stated
here for emphasis and to provide a quick reference.

Fireplace Precautions

1. Make sure all passageways of the chimney system

are clear and unobstructed.

2. Always open the damper before lighting a ﬁre and

keep it open while the ﬁre is burning. Do not close
the damper until the ﬁre is completely out.

3. Be sure ﬁre is provided with sufﬁcient air to pre-

vent smoking, sooting and the formation of harmful
gases.

4. Always use a grate to support the ﬁre. If the basket

grate burns out, it must be replaced by an approved
grate from CFM Corporation. Refer to replacement
models on Page 11.

5. Never burn scrap lumber, pine branches, trash, plas-

tics, ﬂame colorants, soot cleaners or other chemi-
cals or compounds.

6. Never use liquid fuels or liquid ﬁre starters.
7. Build your ﬁre within approximately 1/2 inch of the

back of the ﬁrebox for good burning.

8. Always use care when adding wood to the ﬁre and

when using ﬁreplace tools (shovels, tongs, pokers,
etc.).

9. The ﬁrst few ﬁres should be small.
10. Do not overﬁre your ﬁreplace.
11. Always keep the ﬁreplace screens completely

closed while the ﬁre is burning.

12. Never place any combustible objects (furniture,

pillows, etc.), closer than 24 inches from ﬁreplace
(28 inches for WMC36/WMC42 and 32 inches for
EWF36A, EWF30, SHR48, SHR52 and TSH52 ).

13. Never let anything obstruct the air inlet/outlet grilles.

Glass Door Precautions

1. Always start the ﬁre with the doors open.
2. When the doors are open, the screens must be

closed.

3. If unit has an adjustable ﬂue damper, open ﬂue

damper fully before opening the doors to prevent
smoke from escaping into the dwelling.

4. Do not build extremely large ﬁres as they could dam-

age the ﬁnish and tempered glass.

5. Never allow the ﬂames from the ﬁre to contact the

door glass.

6. Always keep the bottom air inlet channel free of

obstructions.

7. To prevent discoloration on brass ﬁnished doors,

check ﬁnish for a protective plastic coating and re-
move if applicable.

8. Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass doors.
9. Do not clean while hot.

Maintenance and Care of Your Fireplace

Your ﬁreplace is built to operate trouble-free with little
need for extensive time-consuming maintenance. As
with any such piece of equipment, your ﬁreplace will
operate better and provide longer service if a few basic
housekeeping procedures are followed.

In the Fall -
Before the First Seasonal Use of the Fireplace

1. Inspect the roof in the area of the chimney and

remove any obstructions or foreign material such as
hanging tree limbs, broken tree branches, leaves,
etc.

2. Inspect the chimney top housing, removing any

foreign obstructions from cooling air inlets and bird
guard screen.

3. Inspect the ﬂue for obstructions and foreign material

and remove them if any are found.

4. Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the
relatively cool chimney ﬂue of the slow burning ﬁre. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates on the ﬂue lining.
When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot
ﬁre. Inspect the ﬂue for creosote buildup. The chimney
should be inspected at least once every two (2) months
during the heating season. If 1/8” or more of creosote
has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the
risk of a chimney ﬁre. Special tools and expertise are
required to clean a ﬂue. It is recommended that a quali-
ﬁed chimney sweep provide this service. To gain access
to the ﬂue for inspection, and/or cleaning, the chimney
cap or top housing need to be removed. Refer to Figure
10 to identify the style of the top housing. Remove
screws as indicated.
5. Inspect the ﬁrebox hearth and ﬁrebrick liner for any
