Assuming that you are comparing two standard cords of different species but the same volume and moisture content, the denser species will provide more BTU’s. The table of wood species/ densities reveals more helpful guidelines.

STARTING A FIRE

1.To start a fire in your fireplace properly, first check the operation of the flue damper.

The design of the flue damper assembly varies for some model fireplaces. For the standard corner opening fireplaces (CR Series) the damper is activated by a center mounted handle. The damper is opened by pulling the handle forward. To close, the handle is pushed all the way to the back of the firebox. The damper is NOT ADJUST- ABLE between the open and closed position.

To open the damper on the CST and CPF fireplaces, push the center damper handle straight up. To close pull handle down.

2.The grate in the firebox should be centered on or over the bottom hearth so your fire can breath properly. Crumble and twist plenty of newspapers UNDER the grate and criss-cross some small dry kindling sticks on top of the paper or on the bottom of the grate.

3.Build a pyramid of three split logs (split will start much faster). Arrange the uneven wood to provide plenty of air space between.

4.Now, light the paper at both sides of the firebox.

5.Close the screens to prevent the escape of sparks and embers.

6.Close the damper only when your fire is completely out and ashes are cold. Keep closed when fireplace is not in use to prevent unneces- sary loss of heated or cooled air.

GLASS DOORS

The required glass door enclosures come in two different styles; “All-GlassTM” Twin Pane and bi-fold design with tempered glass panes. Removal or modifications to the glass doors may void your warranty and cause a smoking condition.

WARNING: THE CR SERIES FIREPLACES SHOULD BE OPERATED WITH THE DOORS FULLY OPEN OR FULLY CLOSED. IF THE DOORS ARE LEFT PARTIALLY OPEN, GAS AND FLAMES MAY BE DRAWN OUT OF THE OPENING, CREATING RISKS OF BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE. REFER TO FIGURE 2 FOR PROPER OPERATING CONDITIONS.

Care and Cleaning of Your Glass Doors

Never clean the glass when the doors are hot. Do not use ammonia or ammonia based glass or household cleaner to clean the glass or the door frame. An ammonia based cleaner will damage the finish of your glass door.

In most cases, a clean dampened towel fol- lowed by a dry towel will clean the glass. To remove any stubborn stains from the glass, use a mild soap solution and a towel dampened with clean water and then dry with a clean dry towel.

Glass Door Operating Safety

Precautions and Instructions

•The fire must always be confined within the boundaries of the fuel grate.

•The fireplace screens must always be closed whenever the fireplace is operated.

•Never slam the glass door since it could cause the glass to break.

•Do not build excessively large or hot fires. Scorching or discoloring of the solid brass or plated brass trim could result.

•Extreme temperature changes can cause glass breakage — do not build a hot fire and close the glass doors if the doors are cold.

•If the tempered glass pane becomes scratched or chipped, it creates a weakness in the glass which can cause the glass to break when heated. Replace the pane of glass by contacting your nearest dealer or distributor.
