follow

these

guidelines

for

safe

operation:



Keep

all

flammable

household

items—drapes,

furniture,

newspapers,

and

books—far

away

from

the

appliance.



Start

fires

only

with

newspaper,

dry

and

all

natural

or

organic

fire

starters.

Never

start

a

fire

with



Do

not

green

(unseasoned)

logs.



Do

not

use

logs

manufactured

logs,

choose

those

made

from

100

percent
