• Some parts of the stove are extremely hot, particular-
ly the glass window. Use the barrier screen provided
with the trim or a gate to reduce the risk of severe
burns.
• The glass windows can exceed 500°F at full capacity.
• Always keep the appliance clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
• Be aware of hot hearth/floor surface! The hearth or
floor directly in front of the stove can get very hot
when the stove heats. Even if constructed of non-
combustible materials, and although safe, it may
reach temperatures in excess of 250º F depending on
choice of materials. Do not step on it! Temperature
of hearth/floor surface will be reduced when barrier
screen is installed.
• Solid wood flooring in front of the stove (if allowed)
may shrink during the heating season due to heat.
• Some materials or items, although safe, may discolor,
shrink, warp, crack, peel, and so on because of the
heat produced by the stove. Avoid placing candles,
paintings, photos and other combustible objects
sensitive to heat or furniture within 36 inches (0.9m)
around the stove.

located out of traffic areas and away from furniture
and draperies.

vicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operat-
ing the appliance

dren, and other at-risk individuals out of the room
