3. The metal chimney sections extending from
the fi rebox top to beyond your roof are two
walled and air-cooled. The inner passage,
or fl ue, provides the exit for smoke and
gases.
4. The fl ue damper is a two position (fully
open or fully closed) mechanism operated
by a handle found at the center top of the
fi replace opening. It must be open when fi re
is present so smoke and gases can escape.
It should be closed only when the fi re is
completely out – keeping room air from
being lost up the fl ue.
5. Closed screens prevent fi re, sparks and
embers from popping out of the fi rebox
while a fi re is burning. Pull screens back
when adding wood to the fi rebox.
6. Why use a fuel grate? Besides positioning
the fi rebed properly, it protects the refractory
fl oor, back and sides of the fi replace. Further,
it ensures a proper fl ow of combustion air into
and around the fi rebed. The grate must be used
at all times when burning. Your warranty may
be voided without the use of this grate.
7. This fi replace is not a heater. It is designed
to ensure homeowner comfort by providing
supplemental heat to its immediate area.
FUELS
Never Use Coal in Your Fireplace
Your fi replace system is not designed to be
used with coal derivative products. The com-
bustion process of certain types of coal can
deposit corrosive materials in the fi replace and
chimney system which can lead to premature
product failure. Never use coal as a fuel in this
fi replace system.
Gas Logs
If your fi replace system was installed with a gas
line, you may wish to install one of two types
of gas log sets.
This fi replace has been tested and approved for
use with a decorative gas appliance incorporat-
ing an automatic shut-off device and complying
with the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances
for installation in vented fi replaces, ANSI Z21.60
(latest edition). Decorative gas appliances may
be installed in these fi replaces. Installation
must be in accordance with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 for compliance with
the revised U.L. 127 Standard.
This fi replace has been tested and approved
to ANSI/IAS/AGA Z21.11.2 for use with an
unvented gas appliance having a maximum
rating of 26,000 BTU and complies with the
Standard for Factory-Built Fireplaces, U.L. 127,
when installed with unvented gas log sets. The
limit may be increased to 40,000 BTU provid-
ing that minimum combustible mantel heights
were increased to at least 18 inches when the
fi replace was installed.
Prior to installing any gas log set, (Vented or
Unvented) refer to the fi replace installation
instructions for verifi cation of mantel heights
and placement of combustible materials around
the fi rebox opening.
Vented gas log sets do not have restrictions
placed upon their BTU rating.
Wood Fuel Pointers
Wood is a wonderful renewable fuel source.
Normally it burns clean, leaving only a minimum
of waste ash, provides comforting heat and can
provide a variety of aromas and visual images.
You will want to know which woods are best for
use. Sometimes you may want a quick, short fi re
to offset a morning chill. Soft woods are prefer-
able in this case. Other times you would want
more slow burning and a uniform heat output.
Hardwoods are preferable for this use.
The amount of heat available from the logs will
be about equal on a weight basis. However,
logs are generally not weighed so the amount
of heat will depend on:
1. The type of wood used.
2. How dry it is.
3. How many logs you put in.
4. The size of the logs.
The last statement means that one big log weigh-
ing 10 pounds has as much heating potential
as 10 pounds of twigs. However, air cannot get
at the solid log to feed the fi re so the solid log
will burn slowly. While you would get the same
amount of heat out of either fi re, the smaller the
pieces of wood and the more air space around
them, the faster the fi re will burn.
CAUTION
When using a decorative gas
appliance, the fi replace damper
must be set in the fully open
position.
ATTENTION
Si vous utilisez un appareil
décoratif au gaz, le registre de
la cheminée du foyer doit être
ouvert complètement.
WARNING
Unvented Gas Log Sets are
not approved for use with fi re-
places installed outdoors. The
materials and components
will deteriorate prematurely if
installed outside. Refer to the
log manufacturer’s literature for
limitations and exceptions.
AVERTISSEMENT
Les ensembles de bûches à gaz
sans conduit d’évacuation ne
sont pas approuves pour l’usage
avec des foyers installes a
l’exterieur. Les materiaux et les
composantes se deterioreront
prematurement si installees
a l’exterieur. Referez-vous a
la litterature du fabricant des
buches pour les limites et les
exceptions.
IMPORTANT
Never install an unvented gas
log set with a BTU greater than
26,000 if combustible mantel
projections are lower than
18 inches above the fi replace
opening.
ATTENTION
Ne jamais installer un ensemble
de buches a gaz sans conduit
d’evacuation qui genere une
puissance superieure a 26000
si un manteau combustible est
installe plus bas que 18 po. Au
dessus de l’ouverture du foyer.
