Operation Lighting Your Wood Burning Fireplace Your wood burning fireplace is designed to use a grate to hold the wood to be burned approximately 2”-3” off the base. This allows air to get to the bottom of the wood and gives room for ash to accumulate. Do not attempt to burn wood in your appliance without a proper grate installed. Applies to the FRP-4200 fireplace with the wood burning option WARNING: Never use liquids such as gasoline or lighter fluid in a wood burning fireplace.
Maintenance Maintenance Inspect the appliance before initial use. Clean the appliance at least annually and have it inspected by a qualified field service person.
