Safety Precautions
1. Please read these installation instructions com-
pletely before beginning installation procedures.
Failure to follow them could cause a fireplace
malfunction resulting in serious injury and/or prop-
erty damage.
2. Always check your local Building codes prior to
installation. The installation must comply with all
local, regional, state and national codes and regu-
lations.
3. An adequate supply of replacement combustion
air from outside the house must be available to
the fire for the fireplace to operate properly. To
achieve this, an optional outside air kit is highly
recommended.
In the event the home is unusually tight, the
optional combustion air kit may not provide all the
air required to support combustion. Heat-N-Glo is
not responsible for any smoking or related prob-
lems that may result from the lack of adequate
combustion air. It is the responsibility of the
builder/contractor to ensure that adequate com-
bustion air has been provided for the fireplace.
4. The BW36 Series woodburning fireplace must be
installed with the Hearth Technologies Inc. (HTI)
SL300 Series chimney system.
The chimney system must always terminate out-
side the Building. Be sure to follow all chimney
specifications given in these installation instruc-
tions.
5. NEVER leave children unattended when there is
a fire burning in the fireplace.
6. This fireplace is built for solid fuel only. DO NOT
use chimney cleaners or flame colorants in your
fireplace.
7. NEVER use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids
in this fireplace. Keep any flammable liquids a
safe distance from the fireplace.
8. The flue damper must be open at all times when
the fireplace is in use.
9. While servicing this fireplace, always shut off any
electricity or gas to the fireplace. This will prevent
possible electrical shock or burns. Also, make
sure the unit is completely cooled before servic-
ing.
10. To ensure a safe fireplace system and to prevent
the buildup of soot and creosote, inspect and
clean the fireplace and chimney prior to use and
periodically during the burning season.
