DAMPER CONTROL
This fireplace is fitted with a manually controlled chimney damper. The chimney damper should be closed when the fireplace is not in use to prevent cold air from entering the home through the chimney system.
The damper is controlled through the use of a control lever located within the firebox opening at the top center just behind the firebox lintel (Figure 2). The control lever snaps into place at the extreme range of motion, up and back in the closed position. When pulled forward and down, the damper is open.

1.The appliance flue damper must always remain open when operating.
2.The grate in the firebox should be centered on or over the bottom hearth so your fire can breath properly. Crumble and twist plenty of newspapers UNDER the grate and
3.Build a pyramid of three split logs (split will start much faster). Arrange the uneven wood to provide plenty of air space between.
4.When lighting your fire, a little smoke may escape – more likely if the chimney is cold. To correct this, hold a lighted newspaper up inside the firebox near the chimney open- ing. This will turn around any downdraft and clear the flue of cold air. As your log fire burns below, the updraft will improve as the chimney heats up.
5.Now, light the paper at both sides of the firebox.
6.Close the screens to prevent the escape of sparks and embers.
7.For indoor installations, close the damper only when your fire is completely out and ashes are cold. Keep closed when fireplace is not in use to prevent unnecessary loss of heated or cooled air.
COMBUSTION AIR INLET
This appliance requires the installation of an air inlet for proper operation when installed outdoors.
The fireplace draws air into the chimney and firebox chambers through the air inlet to cool the firebox during operation.
It is important to inspect the air inlet and free it from any obstruction before operating the fireplace (see Figure 3).
