D. Clear Space Near the Fireplace

Combustible materials must not be stored on the hearth ex- tension. Room furnishings such as drapes, curtains, chairs or other combustibles must be at least 4 ft (1219mm) from the open front of the fireplace.

E. Firescreen

A firescreen is optional to control sparks. It must be in place whenever the fireplace is in use. Glass doors or firescreens must not be used to hold burning material inside the fire- place. Only those glass doors specifically tested and listed for use with the specific fireplace model should be used.

Use both hands to stabilize the screen. Ensure that the screen is fully attached. Be careful not to stack wood close to the front or too high that logs could roll out the front. Start with a small fire and adjust your heat to desired setting. If smoke spillage occurs, put on gloves and then remove the screen and close the doors. Refer to Troubleshooting Draft Problems on page 52.
