WARNING: This appliance shall not be installed in a con- fined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate com- bustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to in- sure proper fresh air for this and other
Today’s homes are built more energy effi- cient than ever. New materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide ad- equate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel- burning appliances.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Do not remove the metal data plates attached to the burner pan. The data plates contain important warranty in- formation.
WARNING: Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes, and loose paint by a quali- fied chimney cleaner. Creosote will ignite if highly heated. A dirty chimney flue may create and dis- tribute soot within the house. In- spect chimney flue for damage.

VENTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
The fireplace chimney flue and vent must be drafting properly. To check the vent for proper drafting: Light a tightly rolled news- paper on one end and place it at the inside front edge of the fireplace. Observe the smoke and be sure the vent is properly drawing it up the chimney. If the smoke spills out into the room, extinguish the flame and remove any obstruction until proper venting is achieved.
The chimney flue must remain open a mini- mum of 3" at all times during the operation of this log set.
