The fireplace must be operated
with the doors fully opened or
fully closed. If the doors are
left partly opened, smoke may
be drawn into the room. Use
optional firescreen when doors
are fully opened.
WARNING
Use care when selecting window
treatments for windows located
near the fireplace. Avoid using
combustible flowing window
treatments such as curtains
on nearby windows that are of
sufficient length to be blown in
front of an open flame when the
window is opened.

tended while it is burning.
IMPORTANT
When burning wood, use SOLID
NATURAL DRY WELL-SEASONED

recommended (soft woods tend
to burn very quickly).

board, driftwood, woods dipped
in tar, Christmas tree greens,
pitch, pine tar, creosote, chemi-
cal chimney cleaners, flame
colorants, polystyrene packag-
ing, wood products with syn-
thetic binders (i.e. plywood).
Plywood, lumber and other misc.
materials can produce abnor-
mally high temperatures, sput-
tering and smoking fires and may
contain hazardous chemicals to
treat insects and fungus.
• Burning unapproved fuels can
produce excessive tempera-
tures, beyond the design capa-
bilities of the fireplace and may
produce excess sparks or may
contain hazardous chemicals.
Burning unapproved fuels can
result in a chimney fire, a house
fire, personal injury, death or
loss of property.
