SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
14. Always ensure that an adequate supply
of replacement combustion air from the
outside of the house is accessible to the fi re
to support normal combustion. Fireplaces
consume large volumes of air during the
normal combustion process. In the event the
home is tightly sealed with modern energy
effi cient features, an optional combustion
air kit may not provide all the air required to
support combustion. The manufacturer is
not responsible for any smoking or related
problems that may result from the lack of
adequate combustion air. It is the responsibil-
ity of the builder/contractor to ensure that
adequate combustion air has been provided
for the fi replace.

adequate system draft caused by mechanical
systems, general construction conditions,
inadequate chimney heights, adverse wind
conditions and/or unusual environmental
factors or conditions beyond our control.

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.
