A proper size grate promotes a quick and even
fire, Be
sure
grate is placed as far back in fire-
place as it can go to allow air to enter the fire
from all directions. Be sure ashes do not ac-
c
cumulate under grate. The proper size grate will
then be approximately 1%” to 2” from each side
and
4” to 6” from glass doors. If it is closer, the
excess heat may cause glass breakage.
6. When the fire has gone completely out, close all
dampers to prevent excess heat
loss
and cold air
entering. This will also prevent condensation in
the chimney and resulting water in hearth. If
dampers are
not
closed, it will result in increased
heating bills.
7. To close chimney damper, pull handle to left as
far as it will
go.
To close glass door air dampers,
pull knobs
to
center as far as they will
go.
CAUTION
Ventilating fans, exhaust hoods or central heat-
ing systems often cause fireplaces to smoke by
stealing the fireplace combustion air. If the
volume
is enough, it can even cause a reverse
flow of air down the fireplace chimney causing
smoking.
An optional “blower” (190 CFM) is available to aid
in the circulation of the heated air from the fireplace
(See Optional Equipment, Page 15). It has an adjust-
able speed control
to
prevent any cold drafts. It will
not create a “blast” of air, but simply keep the room
air gently circulating. This will eventually create an
even heat throughout the room. This air circulator can
be installed at any time and is a very simple procedure
(See Note on Junction Box, Page 7). This is why it is

Hearth and Refractory Cracks
The hearth and rear and
Gde
refractories have metal
shields behind them to prorect any combustibles out-
side the fireplace if a crack occurs. A crack can be
caused by sudden changes in temperature (thermal
shock, very hot fires, drafts, etc.). A crack does not
impair any usage of fireplace. If you wish to cover and
seal a crack, order the
F3060
Sealant Kit from your
dealer.
