Installation other than as instructed by MHSC; or

Installation and/or use of any component part not manufactured or approved by MHSC in combination or assembly with a MHSC fire- place system, notwithstanding any indepen- dent testing laboratory or other third party approval of such component parts or acces- sory.

This fireplace and chimney system must be vented to the out-of-doors.

This fireplace is not approved for installation in mobile homes.

NOTE: Hairline cracks in hearth brick and ash lips are not a safety issue and do not need to be re- placed.
