3 Important Safety and Operating Information A. Fireplace Safety Most problems are caused by improper installation and operation of the fireplace. To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration: • • • • • • The fire should be supervised whenever the fireplace is in use. An annual inspection should be performed on the fireplace system. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home to ensure your safety.
2. Grate 7. Over-Firing Your Fireplace This fireplace is designed to be used with the supplied grate or one approved by HHT. WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use only the factory-supplied integral grate. • Keeps logs in place. • Allows proper air circulation around the fire. 3. Refractory The refractory is supplied to contain heat and provide an attractive interior. It will break down over time and will need occasional replacement. Small hairline cracks and discoloration are normal and do not affect its safety.
WARNING HOT SURFACES! Glass and other surfaces are hot during operation AND cool down. Hot glass will cause burns. • DO NOT touch glass until it is cooled • NEVER allow children to touch glass • Keep children away • CAREFULLY SUPERVISE children in same room as fireplace. • Alert children and adults to hazards of high temperatures. High temperatures may ignite clothing or other flammable materials. • Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other flammable materials away.

Before lighting the fireplace, verify fully open position by looking up from the inside of the fireplace. • • Glass doors are optional. Refer to Figure 3.3 for how to properly use them. 2. Outside Air (optional) FULLY OPEN CORRECT PARTLY OPEN INCORRECT FULLY CLOSED CORRECT PARTLY CLOSED INCORRECT The outside air kit supplies some combustion air for your fireplace.
C. Fuel WARNING! For use with solid wood fuel only. Other fuels may overfire and generate poisonous gases (i.e. carbon monoxide). 1. Hardwood vs. Softwood Your fireplace’s performance depends on the quality of the firewood you use. One species of wood varies very little to the other in terms of energy content. All seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTU’s per pound. Hardwoods have a greater density than softwoods; a piece of hardwood will contain about 60% more BTU’s than an equal size piece of softwood.
5. Burning Process 3. Seasoning Seasoned firewood is nothing more than wood that is cut to size, split and air dried to a moisture content of around 20%. The time it takes to season wood varies from around nine months for soft woods to as long as eighteen months for hardwoods. The key to seasoning wood is to be sure it has been split, exposing the wet interior and increasing the surface area of each piece.
E. Lighting Instructions NOTICE: You must establish a good draft to prevent smoke spillage into the room. The first three or four fires should be of moderate size to allow the oils and binders to be burned from the fireplace and the refractory and paint to cure. You may notice an industrial odor the first few fires. This is considered normal. Use well-seasoned wood. • • • • • • • Open the flue damper to a fully open position. Place crumpled or twisted paper under the fireplace grate.
4 Maintenance and Service WARNING! Hot Surfaces! Glass and other surfaces are hot during operation AND cool down. DO NOT clean fireplace until it is cooled. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service technician only. The fireplace should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person. The following tasks may be performed annually by the homeowner.
B. Creosote (Chimney) Cleaning Frequency: As needed; at least annually before lighting, or once every two months during heating season. When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. By: Chimney Sweep Tools Needed: Brush, Phillips screwdriver • • • • • • • When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote.
C. Grate Frequency: After each ash removal By: Homeowner Inspect grate for: • Warping or sagging 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) or more • Broken welds • Burn-through of grate bars For safe operation, replace only with the approved grate from Hearth & Home Technologies. D. Glass Cleaning Frequency: As necessary By: Homeowner Tools Needed: Vinegar or glass cleaner, soft towel • Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Use a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or a commercially available oven cleaner.

A. FAQs Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechanical exhausting devices which will create a negative air pressure within the structure where the fireplace is located.
