If this appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
Combustible flooring 16” (406 mm) in front of and 8” (203 mm) to each side of the fuel opening must be insulated with non-combustible floor pro-
tection with a minimum insulation R-value of 0.8.
Do not store clothing, furniture or combustibles within 36” (914 mm) of the fireplace.
The chimney should be inspected monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it
should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. We recommend a professional chimney cleaner inspect and clean the chimney at least once
annually.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance.

NOTE: A non-combustible material such as brick, tile, marble, or
stone may be placed over the top and side face sections. This material
MUST NOT come in direct contact with the fireplace or cracking of
face materials will occur.
Facing material should overlap the side framing members approximately
1/4” - 3/8” (6 mm - 10 mm).

DOOR SEAL ALIGNMENT & ADJUSTMENT (Arched Door Model)
Every effort has been made at the factory to ensure a proper door seal prior to shipment. Misalignment, however, may still occur during shipment,
mishandling and / or installation.
The following procedures will help you determine if the door is sealing properly, and how to achieve a proper seal.
CHECKING THE SEAL
1. Close and latch door.
2. Check seal by pushing against corners of glass.
- No movement indicates proper seal.
- Any movement between the glass and firebox face at any corner indicates an inadequate seal. This will create creosote build-up on
glass and cause the fire to burn faster.
HINGE ADJUSTMENT
1. Close and latch door.
2. Place wooden shim (included) between the bottom of door and the face on the latch side. This is necessary to ‘hold’ the door in horizontal
alignment.
3. Determine if the upper, lower, or both hinges need adjustment.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT LOOSEN NUTS SECURING THE DOOR
HINGES AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF DOOR.
UPPER FACE HINGE: Remove upper grill. Locate the two nuts securing upper face hinge.
LOWER FACE HINGE: Open lower grill and locate the two nuts securing the lower face hinge inside the lower grill opening (similar to the
upper grill hinge).
4. Using a 7/16 wrench or nut driver, LOOSEN BUT DO NOT REMOVE the two nuts. Push the door in slightly, (either top or bottom,
depending on adjustment needed) to achieve a tighter door seal. Re-tighten nuts.
5. Remove shim. Repeat steps #1 & #2 in the ‘CHECKING THE SEAL‟ section above.
6. Repeat steps #1 - #5 of this section until proper door seal is achieved.
NOTE: The door may need to be „pulled out‟ if it is binding at
either the top or bottom right corners.
Do not loosen these nuts
