"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."
"Neverusegasoline,gasoline-typelanternfuel,kero-
sene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or ’freshen up’ a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such
liquidswell awayfrom thefireplace whileit isin use."
Use SOLID WOOD only for fuel. It is best to use dry
and well seasoned hardwood. Softwoods tend to burn
veryquickly.DONOTusetreatedwood,charcoal,coal,
trash,driftwoodorwoodsthathavebeendippedintar,
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,thesechemicalscanposeasignificanthazard.
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
monoxidepoisoningresemblethefluwithheadaches,
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
fromtheheatproducedbytheappliance). Ifyourlocal
