BW36 SERIES WOODBURNING FIREPLACE

STARTING THE FIRE. Check the flue damper to be certain it is in the full open position. Place crumpled or twisted paper under the fireplace grate. Loosely arrange kindling or small pieces of wood to form a layer above the paper. Light the paper and add small pieces of wood until a hot bed of embers has been established. At this point add progressively larger pieces of wood until you are able to position 4” diame- ter split logs as shown in Figure 23.

When first lighting your fireplace, it may be necessary to pre-warm the flue to establish a draft. This is done by holding a rolled up piece of burning newspaper under the flue damper for a few moments. This will prevent smoke spillage during start-up.

Firewood should be seasoned for at least 6 months before it can be burned as a fireplace fuel. Improperly seasoned (green or wet) wood will cause the fireplace to smoke, will allow creosote deposits to rapidly build-up in the chimney system and may cause roof stains to develop.

Fuel products with abnormal burning characteristics, including synthetic logs that contain wax binders, scrap lumber, wax or plastic coated cardboard and other highly volatile fuels that burn at excessive tem- peratures, may cause the fireplace to operate in an unsafe manner. Flammable liquid fuel are explosive and must never be used to start or freshen a fire. Heat-N-Glo does not warrant the structural or func- tional performance of the fireplace system when such synthetic fuels or flammable liquids have been used.

NOTE: When heated for the first several times, the fireplace should be heated gradu- ally to prevent moisture in the refractory from causing cracks and to allow binders in the insulation to dissipate. You will notice an industrial odor during the first few fires that are burned. This is considered to be normal.

No one builds a better fire

Use only a solid wood fuel or a listed Heat-N-Glo gas log set. Do not use a fireplace insert or products not specifically tested and listed for use in this fireplace.

Use common sense when burning this fireplace. The fire must be built on the fireplace grate, without dan- ger of the burning fuel falling out of the firebox.

CAUTION:

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASO-

LINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL,

KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER

FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO

START OR ‘FRESHEN UP’ A FIRE

IN THIS FIREPLACE. KEEP ALL

SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM

THE FIREPLACE WHILE IT IS IN

USE TO AVOID THE RISK OF A

HOSTILE FIRE.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed con- tainer of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are dis- posed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dis- persed, they should be retained in the closed contain- er until all embers have thoroughly cooled.

GLASS DOORS. Most efficient fireplace operation using glass doors is with the doors open. When the doors are open, the screen must be closed. Only Hearth Technologies Inc. (HTI) glass doors, model numbers DM1036, DM1036A and DM1036B may be used on the BW36 Series fireplaces.
