T4800 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

H. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Save and pass this instruction manual to subsequent home owners. The informa- tion provided is intended to notify and warn them about making unsafe future modifica- tions such as the addition of shelves or the use of unauthorized parts and repairs.

1. General Information

2. Outside Air

This fireplace is intended to operate as a supplemental heat source for a single room. It is not designed to function as a primary heat source for a structure.

Fireplaces, as well as other woodburning appliances, have been used safely for many years. It has been our experience that most problems are caused by improper installation and operation of the unit. Make certain that installation and operation of the fireplace system is in accordance with these instructions.

It is extremely important that the fire be supervised whenever the fireplace is in use. It is also recommended that an annual inspection be performed on the fireplace system to determine if the flue system needs to be cleaned, or as in the case of any appliance, if minor repairs are required to maintain the system in top operating condition.

This factory-built fireplace is intended for use with either solid fuel (firewood) or a decorative gas appliance that has been tested and listed to the

Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60. When operating your fireplace, the flue damper must be in the open position.

This fireplace was not tested and listed for use with an unvented gas log heater. Do not install an unvented gas log heater in this fireplace and operate it with the flue damper in the closed position unless the unvented gas log heater has been specifically tested and listed for use in this fireplace by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

Use of an unvented gas log heater in this factory- built fireplace may create a fire hazard that can result in a structure fire.

WARNING!

DO NOT operate this fireplace with the flue damper in the closed position. Combustion products must vent up the chimney system to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, and to prevent hot combustion gases from contacting and overheating combustible surfaces. Failure to operate this fireplace with the damper in the open position may result in asphyxiation or a structure fire.

A source of air (oxygen) is required in order for combustion to take place. Whatever air is consumed by the fire must be replaced through cracks around windows, under doors, etc. Most newly constructed houses or existing homes fitted with tightly sealed doors and windows are relatively air tight. In this case, an outside air source must be made available to feed combustion air from outside the home.

A damper control handle allows you control of the outside air inlet if your fireplace is equipped with this option. Use of outside air for combustion is highly recommended to conserve heated air within the structure and to provide make up air to keep the fireplace venting properly.

This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventilation is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace system. Hearth Technologies Inc. assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechanical exhausting devices which create a negative air pressure within the structure where the fireplace is located.

CAUTION:

Fireplace operation does require air. Do not take air from other fuel burning appliances which can result in improper venting (smoking) or air dilu- tion. Always provide adequate makeup air.

3. Flue Damper

The flue damper must be in a full open position, and is operated by moving the handle up toward the top of the fireplace. Before lighting the fire, verify this by looking up from the inside of the fireplace. Always operate this fireplace with the damper fully open. Please note: down drafts, obstructions, damaged or poor (wet) fuels can cause smoke spillage.
