9.PREVENT CREOSOTE FIRE: Inspect and clean chimney frequently. Under certain conditions of use, creosote buildup may occur rapidly. Inspect chimney connector and chimney twice monthly and clean if necessary. Using green or inade- quately seasoned wood can greatly increase creosote buildup. Use dry wood to minimize creosote buildup.

10.USE SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY: This appliance is approved for burning dry seasoned natural wood only. CAUTION: BURN UNTREATED WOOD ONLY. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.

11.Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liq- uids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

12.DO NOT OVERFIRE: If heater or chimney con- nector glows, you are overfiring. Overfiring this appliance could cause a house fire. Overfiring is a condition where the appliance is operated at temperatures above its design capabilities. Overfiring can be caused by improper installa- tion, improper operation, lack of maintenance or improper fuel usage. Damage caused from over-

firing is NOT covered under the manufacturer's limited warranty.

13.NEVER LEAVE AN UNATTENDED FIREPLACE INSERT BURNING ON HIGH. Operation of the fireplace insert with the primary air control at its highest burn rate setting for extended periods can cause dangerous overfiring conditions. The primary air control should only be positioned at the highest setting during start-up procedures and for short duration. When leaving the fire- place insert unattended ensure that the primary air control is set to the low or medium low range.

14.The Start-Up Air Control must only be opened (pulled out) during the start-up procedures.

CAUTION: OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE WITH THE START-UP AIR CONTROL IN THE OPEN POSITION FOR EXTENDED PERIODS CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS OVERFIRING CON- DITIONS.

15.Use a metal container with a tight fitting lid to dispose of ashes.

16.IN THE EVENT OF A COMPONENT FAILURE, USE ONLY COMPONENTS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS REPLACEMENT PARTS.

17.Burning any kind of fuel uses oxygen from the dwelling. Be sure that you allow an adequate source of fresh air into the room where the fire- place insert is operating (see Ventilation Re- quirements on page 5).
