or  technicians  under  the  direction  of  certified 

professionals, conduct a minimum of an 

NFPA 211 

Level 2 

inspection of the chimney.

•  Replace components of the chimney and fireplace 

as specified by the professionals.

•  Ensure  all  joints  are  properly  engaged  and  the 

chimney is properly secured.

 WARNING! 

Risk of Fire! A chimney fire can perma

-

nently  damage  your  chimney  system.  Failure  to  re

-

place damaged components and make proper repairs 

can cause a structure fire.

7.  Over-Firing Your Fireplace

 WARNING!

fireplace and chimney.

following:
•  chimney connector or fireplace glowing

•  roaring, rumbling noises

•  loud cracking or banging sounds

•  metal warping

•  chimney fire

To prevent over-firing your fireplace. DO NOT:

•  use flammable liquids

•  overload with wood

•  burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber 
•  permit too much air to the fire

2. Grate

This fireplace is designed to be used with the supplied 

grate or one approved by VCG.

 WARNING! 

Risk of Fire! 

Use only the factory-sup-

plied integral grate.
•  Keeps logs in place.

•  Allows proper air circulation around the fire.

3. Refractory

The refractory is supplied to contain heat and provide 

an attractive interior.

  It will break down over time and will need occasional 

replacement.  Small  hairline  cracks  and  discoloration 

are normal and do not affect its safety. 

 WARNING!

-

out refractory. Use only refractory supplied by Vermont

4. Firescreen

The  firescreen  is  provided  to  control  sparks.  Keep  it 

closed when the fireplace in use.

during operation of the fireplace.

 WARNING! 

Risk of Fire and Asphyxiation! 

Open 

damper prior to operating fireplace. A closed damper 

overfires the fireplace and spills smoke and flames 

into the room.

6.  Glass Doors

Glass doors are optional.

 WARNING! 

Risk of Fire! Install ONLY doors approved 

by Vermont Castings Group.

 WARNING! 

Risk of Fire and Smoke!

doors fully open or doors fully closed. If doors are left 

partly open, gas and flame may be drawn out of the 

fireplace opening.
