•  temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
•  Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the 

same room as the appliance. Toddlers, young children and others 
may be susceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is 
recommended if there are at risk individuals in the house. To restrict 
access to an appliance or stove, install an adjustable safety gate to 
keep toddlers, young children and other at risk individuals out of the 
room and away from hot surfaces.

the appliance. Objects placed in front of the appliance must be kept a 
minimum of 48” (1220 mm) away from the front face of the appliance.

•  Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of 

traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

•  Ensure you have incorporated adequate safety measure to protect 

infants/toddlers from touching hot surfaces.

•  Even after the appliance is out, the glass and/or screen will remain hot 

for an extended period of time.

•  Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety screens and 

hearth guards to protect children from hot surfaces. These screens and 
guards must be fastened to the floor.

•  Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced 

prior to operating the appliance.

•  Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified.
•  This appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue pipe servicing 

a separate solid fuel burning appliance.

•  Do not operate the appliance with glass door removed, cracked or 

broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or 
qualified service person.

•  Do not strike or slam shut the appliance glass door.
•  Only doors / optional fronts certified with the unit are to be installed on 

the appliance.

•  Keep the packaging material out of reach of children and dispose of 

the material in a safe manner. As with all plastic bags, these are not 
toys and should be kept away from children and infants.

•  If the appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. Do 

not expose the appliance to the elements (ex. rain, etc.) and keep the 
appliance dry at all times. Wet insulation will produce an odour when 
the appliance is used.

•  The chimney must be sound and free of cracks. Clean your chimney a 

minimum of twice a year and as required.

•  Do not start a fire with chemicals or fluids such as gasoline, engine 

oil, etc.

maintain your appliance may lead to smoke spillage in your home.

•  Lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned 

hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or too green or freshly cut hard-
woods. Burning wet unseasoned wood can cause excessive creosote 
accumulation. When this is ignited it can cause a chimney fire that may 
result in a serious house fire.

•  This appliance is designed to burn natural wood only. Do not burn 

treated wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper, cardboard, solvents or 
garbage. 

•  Burn wood directly on the firebricks. Do not elevate grate or otherwise 

raise the fire.

•  Do not store wood within appliance installation clearances or within the 

space required for re-fueling and ash removal.

•  Ashes must be disposed in a metal container with a tight lid and placed 

on a non-combustible surface well away from the home or structure 
until completely cool.

•  Ensure clearances to combustibles are maintained when building a 

mantel or shelves above the appliance. Elevated temperatures on the 
wall or in the air above the appliance can cause melting, discolouration 
or damage to decorations, a T.V. or other electronic components.

•  Do not install this fireplace module in a factory- built fireplace unless 

certified with the fireplace.
