IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS,
LLC (IHP) limited warranty will be voided
by, and IHP will disclaim any responsibil-
ity for the following:
1. Improper installation of your IHP
fireplace and IHP component parts.
Consult your installation instructions.
2. Any alteration of IHP fireplace and/or
components.
3. Use of an insert in an IHP fireplace. IHP
does not recommend or authorize the
use of any insert in our fireplaces and
will assume no responsibility for any
damages caused by an insert.
The safety precautions and operating
instructions in this homeowner’s guide
cannot cover all possible situations that
may arise during use. Caution and care
UNDERSTANDING YOUR FIREPLACE
must always be used when operating
fireplace.
1. Never start a fire with a liquid fire
starter such as gasoline, kerosene, or
liquid barbecue starters.
2. Never burn trash or trees (such as
Christmas trees) as they can create
extremely hot fires and cause sparks
that may be hazardous.
3. Never use wood products with syn-
thetic binders. They create creosote
in flue system and termination which
can be hazardous.
4. Keep children and pets away from
hot surfaces to avoid burns. Carefully
supervise children when they are in the
room with the fireplace. Exposed metal
parts and glass doors become very hot.
This firebox has been tested to U.L. 127
test standards and is well insulated for
clearances to combustible construction
materials used in building a home. Proper
clearances are outlined on a label on
each component for use by installers and
building inspectors to insure compliance.
Firebox:
The firebox is the portion of your
fireplace where the fire is built. It is made
of heavy gauge steel lined with brick pat-
terned refractory material (firebrick) on
back, sides and bottom (hearth). This is
surrounded by another metal enclosure on
top, back and bottom. Air space between
firebox and outer enclosure provides a cir-
culating feature that has been engineered
for a safe and efficient design.
Chimney System:
The chimney is also
made of metal extending from top of fire-
place through the roof and capped with
a screened termination. Inner liner (flue)
of chimney is made of stainless steel and
provides for exhaust of gases (carbon
monoxide) from the fire. Outer liner is
made of galvanized steel and provides
passage for cooling air to keep chimney
safe at labeled clearance to combustible
building materials.
Damper: The damper is the metal disk
found at base of chimney (flue) and has
2 positions, open and closed. Flue gas
damper is located inside firebox, similar
to a conventional masonry fireplace. See
fireplace owner’s manual for operation.
Outside Air Kit Operation:
The outside
air damper is located on inside of fire-
place. See fireplace owner’s manual for
operation.
Note:
Automatic barometric style damp-
ers are installed on some models.
Fan/Blower:
The fan system is designed
to enhance the convection principal of
your fireplace and is not designed to be
a blowing system. The switch located on
lower front face of fireplace operates fan.
