IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
1. When installing your insert, particular attention should be paid to fire protection. If this room heater is not
properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions. Con-
tact local building, fire officials or the authority having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation, inspection
and permit requirements in your area.
2. CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids
to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
3. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
Do not burn treated wood, or salt laden (driftwood, etc.) wood. Burning materials other than wood (including
charcoal) under adverse conditions may generate carbon monoxide in the home, resulting in illness or possi-
ble death.
4. Your insert should burn dry, standard firewood only. The use of cut lumber, plywood, “mill ends”, etc. is not
recommended as this fuel can easily overheat your wood insert. Chemically treated fire logs must not be
burned in your wood insert.
5. Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from your unit. Do not place wood, paper, furniture, drapes or other
combustibles near the appliance.
6. During operation, if any part of the insert starts to glow, the insert is in an over-fired condition. Close the air
control completely by pushing it in until the glowing has stopped. OVERFIRING VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY
and can be hazardous!
7. RISK OF FIRE! Do not operate with insert door open. It can overfire your appliance and could be hazardous
8. WARNING! Never draw outside combustion air from a wall, floor or ceiling cavity or from any
enclosed space such as an attic or garage or carport.
9. Check your chimney system thoroughly when installing into an existing masonry chimney. Seek professional
advice if in doubt about its condition.
10. Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as shown in this manual.
11. Build fire on brick firebox floor. Do not use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.
12. HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! Keep children, pets, clothing and furniture away. Contact can cause skin
burns.
13. Do not operate without fully assembling all components. Doing so will void your warranty, and could present
a serious safety hazard.
14. Solid fuel-burning appliances shall be installed in such a manner as to provide ventilation and combustion air
supply to allow for the proper combustion of fuel, chimney draft and the maintenance of safe temperatures.
15. The controls of your unit or the air supply passages should not be altered to increase firing for any reason.
16. If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low a setting your unit will not be operating as efficiently as it can. An
easy rule of thumb says that if your glass is clean, then your flue is clean and your exhaust is clean. Burn the
insert hot enough to keep your glass clean and you won't need to clean your flue as often.
17. Check you chimney twice a month for creosote accumulation and sweep as required.
18. Burning wet or green, unseasoned wood, could cause excessive creosote accumulation in the flue pipe and
chimney. This could result in a chimney fire. Store wood in a dry location.
19. Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the chimney system. Check and clean chimney at regular inter-
vals. Failure to do so can result in a serious chimney fire.
20. Ashes should be disposed of carefully, using a metal container.
21. Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
22. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue already serving another appliance.
23. This appliance must be connected to a chimney and terminate to the outside of the building envelope. Never
vent to another room or inside a building.
24. Do not operate if the gasket on the door is missing or damaged. Use only manufacturers approved parts
25. Do not operate with broken glass. Use only manufacturers approved replacement parts
26. Do not use “Black” or “Galvanized” pipe in your flue system
27. For further information refer to NFPA 211 (USA), CAN/CSA-B365 (Canada) or any other appropriate local
codes.
