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.
The glass front or any part removed for servicing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance. Work should be done by a quali-
fied service technician.
Clean glass only when cool and only with non-abrasive cleansers.
Do not operate this appliance with the glass/frame assembly removed, cracked or broken. The glass assembly, shall only be replaced as supplied by
Hussong Mfg. Co., Inc. Replacement of the glass assembly must only be performed by a licensed orqualified service person. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE
MATERIALS.
Do not strike or slam glass assembly.
Do not burn waste paper.
Except when loading, the fireplace must be operated with the door / doors closed.
Do not obstruct room air inlet and outlet grills. This may cause the fireplace to overheat.
Burn only dry seasoned wood. Extremely hard woods, such as oak or ash can require up to two years of drying time to be sufficiently dry.
It is recommended that smoke detectors be installed in your home as required by local building codes or the authority having jurisdiction.
Some fuels, such as charcoal, may generate carbon monoxide, a dangerous, odorless gas. Exposure to carbon monoxide may cause serious illness or
death.
For further information on using your fireplace safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire Protection Association publication “Using coal & Wood
Stoves Safely.” NFPA No. HS-10
