•Use only parts and accessories labeled for use with this fireplace.

•Use only undamaged parts and accessories.

•Enclose the chimney where it passes through the living spaces to prevent contact with and possible damage to the chimney.

•There must be least 2" of air space separating all chimney sections from combustible materials THROUGHOUT THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM.

•Install firestop spacers at ceiling level.

•Install the proper chimney cap or chimney housing on the chimney to prevent the entry of rain and debris into the chimney and to assure the proper venting of smoke.
