1. If utilizing an older chimney, it must be in-

spected for adequate serviceability. Refer to

the heading Chimney Inspection on page 4.

2. Install only in masonry fireplaces, built to UBC

37 or ULC S628 standards or A factory built

fireplace built to UL 127 or ULC S610 stan-

dards.

3. The minimum clearances must be maintained

for all combustible surfaces and materials in-

cluding; furniture, carpet, drapes, clothing,

wood, papers, etc. Do not store firewood

within this clearance space.

4. This appliance requires a non-combustible

fireplace hearth or hearth extension (see Floor

Protection on page 4 for additional informa-

tion).

5. Minimum ceiling height must be 7 feet (213 cm)

(measured from base of appliance to ceiling).

6. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY

FLUE CONNECTED TO ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

7. Do not connect this appliance to air ducts or

any air distribution system.

8. Do not install appliance in a sleeping room.

9. PREVENT CREOSOTE FIRE: Inspect and clean

chimney frequently. Under certain conditions

of use, creosote buildup may occur rapidly. In-

spect chimney connector and chimney twice

monthly and clean if necessary. Using green or

inadequately seasoned wood can greatly in-

crease creosote buildup. Use dry wood to

minimize creosote buildup.

10. USE SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY: This appliance

is approved for burning dry seasoned natural

wood only. CAUTION: BURN UNTREATED

WOOD ONLY. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR

FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE,

NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.

11. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,

kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liq-

uids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this

heater. Keep all such liquids well away from

the heater while it is in use.

12. DO NOT OVERFIRE: If heater or chimney con-

nector glows, you are overfiring. Overfiring this

appliance could cause a house fire. Overfiring is

a condition where the appliance is operated at

temperatures above its design capabilities (see

Overfiring, on page 19). Overfiring can be

caused by improper installation, improper op-

eration, lack of maintenance or improper fuel

usage. Damage caused from overfiring is NOT

covered under the manufacturers limited war-

ranty (see Care and Operation, pages 12 to 14).

13. NEVER LEAVE AN UNATTENDED FIREPLACE

INSERT BURNING ON HIGH. Operation of the

fireplace insert with the primary air control at

its highest burn rate setting for extended peri-

ods can cause dangerous overfiring condi-

tions. The primary air control should only be

positioned at the highest setting during start-

up procedures and for short durations. When

leaving the fireplace insert unattended ensure

that the primary air control is set to the low or

medium low range.

14. Use a metal container with a tight fitting lid to

dispose of ashes.

15. IN THE EVENT OF A COMPONENT FAILURE,

USE ONLY COMPONENTS PROVIDED BY THE

MANUFACTURER AS REPLACEMENT PARTS.

16. Burning any kind of fuel uses oxygen from the

dwelling. Be sure that you allow an adequate

source of fresh air into the room where the

fireplace insert is operating (see Ventilation on

page 5).

17. CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. An ap-

pliance hot enough to warm your home can

severely burn anyone touching it. Keep chil-

dren, clothing and furniture away. Contact may

cause skin burns. Do not let children touch the

appliance. Train them to stay a safe distance

from the unit.

18. Build fires directly upon the brick hearth inside

the fireplace insert. Do not use grates, irons or

any other method to elevate the fire.

19. Once the fire is established, never burn the

appliance with the bypass damper open, ex-

cept when refueling the appliance.

20. CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR: Do not operate this

appliance without the catalytic combustor as-

sembly (this consists of ceramics, gasket and

a housing) properly installed. Burning of metal

foils, coal, plastic garbage, diesel oil and sulfur

will make the catalyst in the combustor inac-

tive. The combustor is fragile; handle carefully.

The performance of the catalytic device or its

durability has not been evaluated as part of the

certification.

21. See the listing label located on the back of fire-

place (or see Safety/Listing Label on page 25).

22. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
