OW TO USE THE RETRACTABLE DOORS AND FIRESCREENS
The Security Fireplace Model HE43-1 features retractable doors and firescreens in order to allow a wider view of
the fire and save space when the doors are opened. To retract the doors, simply open them at 90° and push them
into the opening on the side of the firebox. The same procedure applies for the retractable firescreens. (see Fig. 2).
Note :
Do not operate the fireplace with both firescreen and doors closed at the same time.

OW TO USE THE OUTSIDE AIR REGISTER
(
FIREPLACE
)
The outside air register is located on the upper part of the top louver. The outside air register supplies
oxygen to the fire and allows control of the fire when the doors are closed. The fresh air must come from
outside the house (the air intake must not draw air from inside the house). This will minimize the risk of
causing a negative pressure in the house. The more you slide the register to the left, the more fresh air
into the firebox and the more accelerated combustion you will get (see Figure 3). When starting a fire,
the register should always be fully opened.
