HOW THIS FIREPLACE WORKS

As wood is burned in the fireplace, room air enters the fireplace through its “cool air inlet”, circulates around the firebox, and exits the fireplace through its “warm air outlet.” See Figure 2. This air circulation cools the firebox.

WARNING

Do not block or restrict air circulation in any manner. Blocking or restricting the air flow will cause the fireboxtoreachhazardous temperatures.
