B. Firescreen
A firescreen must be used to control sparks if the home- owner choses to operate the fireplace with the doors open; and it must remain in place whenever the fireplace will be operating in this manner. Glass doors or firescreens must not be used to hold burning material inside the fireplace. 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 18.

•Do not use firescreen or glass doors to hold burning material in fireplace.
Firescreen controls sparks.
Glass may break or burning material may roll out.
•Always wear gloves when installing or removing the screen as the screen may become extremely hot while in use.
