CAUTION: Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin
burns.
WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when burning. This heater is not designed for open door
burning.
WARNING: No alteration or modification of the combustion air control assembly is permitted. Any
tampering will void warranty and could be very hazardous.
WARNING: Do not use grates or andirons to elevate the fuel. Burn directly on the fire bricks. Replace
broken or missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous condition.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar
liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater
while it is in use.
Wood Selection
Your Fireplace is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiency and lower emissions generally
result when burning air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut
hardwoods.
Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months or more. Wet or "green" wood will cause
the fire to smoulder and produce large amounts of smoke and creosote. Wet wood also produces very
little heat and tends to go out often. Wood should be stored under cover away from open flame or heat
sources.

DO NOT BURN THESE MATERIALS
The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper,
cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire in an affected wood heater.
Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal, can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a
tasteless, odorless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should you attempt to barbecue in this heater.
