• The fire must always be confined within the boundaries of the fuel grate. COMBUSTION AIR • The fireplace screens must always be closed whenever the fireplace is being used. A proper amount of combustion air is important for your fireplace. Fireplaces consume large amounts of oxygen. It is important to allow an adequate supply of air. • Never slam the glass door since it could cause the glass to break.

Before Each Use 1. Clean the firebox of excessive ashes. Some owners prefer to leave a small layer to insulate the cold refractory below the grate which helps fire starting. This fireplace has a factory supplied grate attached, it is permissible to remove the grate for cleaning; however, the grate must be re-attached to the fireplace before the next burn. 2. Keep the fireplace screens clean so combustion air flows freely. 3. Spot check the brick-like refractory for small cracks.
