SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.Please read these installation instructions completely before beginning installation procedures. Failure to follow them could cause a fireplace malfunction resulting in serious injury and/or property damage.
2.Contact local building or fire officials or authorized authority about restrictions, installation inspection and permit require- ments in your area. The fireplace installation must comply with all local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.
3.An adequate supply of replacement combustion air from outside the house must be available to the fire for the fireplace to operate properly.

Hearth & Home Technologies is not responsible for any smoking or related problems that may result from the lack of adequate combustion air. It is the responsibility of the builder/contractor to ensure that adequate combustion air has been provided for the fireplace.
