5 USE AND SAFETY
1. Teach children fireplace safety rules.
2. Do not use the fireplace under the following conditions:
1. Whenever a firestone is missing or broken.
2. Whenever the ceramic glass is cracked or broken.
3. Never use flammable liquids to light or revive a fire and keep such products away from any heat source.
Before lighting a fire, make sure there are no flammable liquids, gases or fumes in the room.
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR
LIQUIDS TO START OR ‘‘FRESHEN UP’’ A FIRE IN THIS FIREPLACE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
THE FIREPLACE AT ALL TIMES.
4. Before starting each fire, open the flue damper using the key located in the middle behind the upper
louver. When the fireplace is hot, do not touch the damper key with your bare hands.
5. Open the air intake lever located on the left behind the lower louver.
6. Prevent smoke flow reversal by preheating the chimney flue. Just hold a torch made of rolled up
newspaper towards the smoke chamber for a few minutes.
7. Ventis fireplaces are designed to burn reasonable quantities of cordwood only. Avoid making overly
intense fires that would damage the appliance.
DO NOT OVERHEAT
8. Use the log support made by the manufacturer. Burn only the quantity of combustible it can contain.
Do not burn garbage, painted wood or wood that has been exposed to salt water.
9. Always have minimum of 1” accumulation of ashes at the bottom of the fireplace. The grate may
deform if no ashes are left.
10. When using the fireplace for the first times, make small fires to give the firestone time to dry properly.
The appearance of fine cracks in the firestone is normal and therefore not hazardous. It is not a matter
for concern.
11. During the first fires, you may detect a certain odor and the coating and oil protecting certain appliance
parts may smoke a little. If you open a window, these will quickly dispel.
12. It could also become necessary to open a window if the house is too airtight or if a fan is running.
13. NEVER leave the fireplace unattended while using the firescreen doors. When the glass doors are
closed, make sure the air intake lever is to the open position to allow sufficient draft.
14. Expansion and contraction noises during the heating and cooling cycle are normal. It is not a matter for
concern.
15. Once the fire is out and the embers have cooled, close the flue and the air intake dampers until you
prepare to light the next fire.
NOTE: Make sure furniture, draperies, and any extra logs are at lease 48” (1219 mm) away from the
fireplace.
