prior to use."
This fireplace is not intended to be used as a sub-
stitute for a furnace to heat an entire home. Use for

WARNING: CONTINUED OVERFIRING CAN PER-
MANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR FIREPLACE SYSTEM.
SOME EXAMPLES OF CONDITIONS THAT COULD
CAUSE OVERFIRING ARE:
• BURNINGQUANTITIESOFSCRAPLUMBER,PINE

WHICHEXCEEDTHEVOLUMEOFTHENORMAL

• BURNINGTRASH,CHEMICALSORCHEMICALLY

"Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled."
"WHEN USING THE DECORATIVE APPLIANCE, THE
FIREPLACE DAMPER MUST BE SET IN THE FULLY
OPEN POSITION."
"Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kero-
sene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or ’freshen up’ a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such
liquids well away from the fireplace while it is in use."
Use SOLID WOOD only for fuel. It is best to use dry
and well seasoned hardwood. Softwoods tend to burn
very quickly. DO NOT usetreated wood, charcoal,coal,
trash, driftwood or woods that have been dipped in tar,
pitch, pine tar, creosote, etc. Wood products made
with synthetic binders, such as plywood, produce ab-
normally high temperatures and sputtering, smoking
fires. When burning artificial logs, please read and
follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Never burn treated construction lumber or scraps.
These woods burn excessively hot and may contain
chemicals used to treat insects and fungus. When
burned,these chemicalscan posea significanthazard.
WARNING: BURNING IMPROPER FUEL (I.E.
CHARCOAL) CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING, WHICH MAY LEAD TO DEATH!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning – Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the flu with headaches,
dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, get
fresh air at once! Have the appliance inspected by a
qualified service technician. Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others. These
include pregnant women, people with heart or lung
disease or anemia, those under the influence of al-
cohol, and those at high altitudes.
Ventilation Requirements - Provide adequate air for
combustion. The fresh air requirements of this ap-
pliance must be met within the space where it will
be installed.
Smoke Detectors - Since there are always several
potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend
installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the
smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to
reduce the possibility of occasional false activation
from the heat produced by the appliance). If your local
code requires a smoke detector be installed within the
same room, you must follow the requirements of your
local code. Check with your local building department
for requirements in your area.
"Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, whichcombine with expelledmoisture
to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in
the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on
the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire.
The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a
year during the heating season to determine when a
creosote buildup has occurred. When creosote has
accumulated (1/8" [3 mm] ormore) it shall beremoved
to reduce the risk of a chimney fire."

SELECTING LOCATION
To determine safest and most efficient location for fireplace, you
must take into consideration the following guidelines:
1. Locationmustallowforproperclearances(seeFigures1and2).
2. Consider a location where fireplace will not be affected by drafts,
air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids cutting of joists or roof rafters will make
installation easier.
4. Anoutsideair kitisavailable withthis replace (seeOptional

WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES
WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.
Minimum/Maximum Chimney Height
The minimum height of the chimney, measured from the base of
the fireplace to the flue gas outlet of the termination, is 14.5 feet for
straight flue or a flue with one elbow set. The maximum distance
between elbows is 6 feet. For systems with two elbow sets, the
minimum height is 22 feet. The maximum height of any system is
50 feet. This measurement includes the fireplace, chimney sections
and the height of the termination assembly at the level of the flue

HEARTH EXTENSION
A hearth extension projecting a minimum of 20" in front of and a
minimum of 12" beyond each side of fireplace opening is required
to protect combustible floor construction in front of fireplace. Fab-
ricate a hearth extension using a material which meets the following
specifications: a layer of noncombustible, inorganic material having
a thermal conductivity of k = .84 BTU IN/FT2HR°F(orless)at1"
thick. For example, if material selected has a k factor of 0.25, such
as glass fiber, the following formula would apply:
0.25 x 1.0" = 0.30" thickness required
0.84
Thermal conductivity "k" of materials can be obtained from manu-
facturer or supplier of noncombustible material. If hearth extension
is to be covered, use noncombustible material such as tile, slate,
brick, concrete, metal, glass, marble, stone, etc. Provide a means to
prevent hearth extension from shifting and seal gap between fireplace
frame and hearth extension with a non-combustible material such
assand-cementgrout(seeFigure3).

FIRESTOP SPACERS (3600FS-8DM-1)
Firestop spacers are required at each point where chimney penetrates
a floor space. Their purpose is to establish and maintain required
clearancebetweenchimneyandcombustiblematerials.Whenpipe
passes through a framed opening into a living space above, firestop
must be placed onto ceiling from below as shown in Figure 10.
They also provide complete separation from one floor space to an-
otheroratticspaceasrequiredbymostcodes.Whendoublewall
pipe passes through a framed opening into an attic space, firestop
must be placed into an attic floor as shown in Figure 11.

PENETRATING ROOF
To maintain a 1" clearance to pipe on a roof with a pitch, a rectangular
opening must be cut.

Glass doors are optional with this replace. When replace is in
operation, doors must be fully opened or fully closed position only
orarehazardmaybecreated(seeFigure21).
A fireplace equipped with glass doors operates much differently than
a fireplace with an open front. A fireplace with glass doors has a
limitedamountofairforcombustion.Excessiveheatwithinreplace
can result if too large a fire is built or if combustion air gate is not
completely open.
The following tips should be used to assure that both fireplace and
glass door retain their beauty and function properly. Both the flue
damper and glass doors must be fully opened before starting a
fire. This will provide sufficient combustion air and maintain safe
temperatures in firebox.
IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly.

F, which is more than a normal fire will generate. Such materials as
pitch/wax laden logs, very dry mill end lumber and large amounts
of paper or cardboard boxes can create an excessively hot fire and
should not be burned in this fireplace. Always keep fire back from
doors and never allow flames to contact glass.
" WARNING: FIREPLACES EQUIPPED WITH DOORS
SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH DOORS FULLY
OPEN OR DOORS FULLY CLOSED. IF DOORS ARE LEFT
PARTLY OPEN, GAS AND FLAME MAY BE DRAWN OUT
OF THE FIREPLACE OPENING, CREATING RISKS OF
BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE".
WARNING: Discontinue use of the appliance imme-
diately if doors are damaged and contact a qualified
installer for repair. Only doors certified with the
appliance shall be used.
