Failure to properly use and maintain this appliance may void the
manufacturer's warranty and could result in a house fi re.
WARNING:
This free standing fi replace is a heat
producing appliance and may cause severe burns if
touched. Keep children away. Do Not over fi re. If any
portion of the unit or fl ue starts to glow you are over
fi ring. This is a free standing fi replace, do not use for
any other purpose.
1. The fi rst few fi res should be small in order to properly
cure the painted surfaces and refractory. During
the fi rst few fi res, some smoking may occur as the
paint cures. You may wish to open a window to
minimize discomfort during this curing period.
2. DO NOT BURN TRASH OR GARBAGE IN THIS
UNIT. When building a fi re, be sure the damper
is fully opened and suffi cient combustion air is
available. Place dry kindling on dry wadded paper
then ignite with a match. Add progressively larger
pieces of wood until the fi re is well established.
Leave the damper fully open. Close only after
the fi re has burned out completely. Add additional
fi rewood as needed to maintain the fi re.
3. DO NOT ELEVATE THE FIRE. A grate should not
be used.
4. CAUTION: Heating the air in a closed building
decreases the relative humidity of the air, which
will dry wood and other combustible materials.
This drying lowers the ignition temperature of
these materials thus increasing fi re hazards. To
reduce the risk of fi re, some provision should be
made for replenishing moisture to the air whenever
a structure is being heated for extended periods.
5. Be sure to provide combustion air into the dwelling
when using this or any other wood burning appli-
ance. A partially open window or outside air reg-
ister in the vicinity of the unit would be acceptable.
Combustion air must be supplied in conformance
with the Uniform Mechanical Code.
6. CAUTION: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE
TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHAR-
COAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS
TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THIS
HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL
AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IN USE.

7. DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Ashes should be placed
in a metal container with a tight fi tting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible fl oor or on the ground, away from
all combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal.
The ashes should be retained in the closed con-
tainer until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
8. READ MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.
IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE
A safe and correct installation and extra care will help
prevent a fi re, but accept the idea that there could be
a fi re. Be prepared to handle it. Make certain every-
one in the house is familiar with the warning signs of
a chimney fi re:
1. Call the Fire Department immediately, before doing
anything else.
2. Discharge a dry chemical extinguisher into the
fi replace opening. If an extinguisher is not avail-
able, toss baking soda into the opening. Do not
pour water on the fi re.
3. Close all air intakes to the fi rebox and leave closed
until the fi replace, stove or stove pipe is completely
cooled.
4. Watch for sparks on the roof. If necessary, hose
down the roof around the chimney.
DO NOT pour water down or on the chimney.
5. After the fi re is completely out, inspect the chimney
for any signs of damage. If you are not certain, have
your local Fire Department inspect the chimney
for you. Never use a fl ammable liquid to kindle or
rekindle a fi re.
6. Never use coal in a fi replace. Coal should be used
only in stoves especially designed to burn coal. If
the toxic gases produced enter the room they can
be fatal.
