CAUTION
If a smoking condition exists, glass doors should be closed during fireplace operation.
ATTENTION
Si vous apercevez de la fumee qui se degage du foyer, fermez les portes de verre.
IMPORTANT
See Page 7 for care and cleaning instructions for your glass doors.

COMBUSTION AIR
A proper amount of combustion air is important for your fireplace. Fireplaces consume large amounts of oxygen. It is important to allow an adequate supply of air.
If the fireplace is not equipped with an outside air kit, it may not obtain sufficient amounts of combustion air from inside the house or structure in which it is installed. Therefore, the fire may draw from an outside air source and pull air in through the chimney. This may cause smoke spillage into the room.

Smoke spillage often occurs when a fire is first started, until the fireplace and the chimney has had the opportunity to “come up to temperature” and to begin to function normally. If smoke spillage problems persist, a window may be opened just a crack to allow the proper flow of combustion air to the fireplace.
If your fireplace is equipped with an outside combustion air kit, keep it open at all times when fire is burning and close when fire is out to prevent cold air intrusion.
Combustion Air Control
All indoor installations must have an optional OAKG Outside Air Kit Gate installed when an Outside Air Kit is installed.
The actuator for combustion air must not be operated unless the complete system has been installed. See Figure 5.
If you have reason to believe that you do not have a complete outside combustion system, contact your distributor to have your fireplace inspected for the presence of the complete system before you use the combustion air actuator. DO NOT assume that you have this system in place because you have an actuating lever present on your fireplace front face.
WARNING
Do not operate the combustion air gate actuator unless a complete outside combustion air vent system has been installed with your Fireplace.

The Outside Air Kit Gates are required when an Outside Air Kit is installed on all indoor installations only. They are not approved for use on oudoor instal- lations.

Air Gate Operation Instructions (Indoor Installations Only)
If an Air Gate Kit has been installed (approved for indoor installations only), operate it as follows:
Air Gate Kit (purchased separately)
Combustion Air Actuator
Pull Forward to Open,
Push Back to Close
Figure 5
To operate, push the end of the actuator arm to the left as shown in Figure 5, until it "pops" free of its "locked" position. Pull the actuator forward to open the combustion air door, and push it back to close. To "lock" the combustion air door closed, ensure the actuator is pushed all the way back then push the end of the actuators to the right until the step in the actuator moves behind the appliance front face within the slotted opening.
Operate the actuator through several cycles including the "lock" position. Ensuring proper operation and freedom of movement. Return the actuator arm to the locked position.
MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Your fireplace is designed to operate
Your fireplace will perform better – and certainly look more attractive to family and friends – if it is cleaned before each use. Before the first seasonal use in Autumn and after the last fire in Spring, it is important to inspect the fireplace system carefully. We recommend at least two complete fireplace inspections a year.
