3. If the fire burns well but sometimes cre-

ates excessive smoke or burns slowly, it may be
caused by the chimney top being lower than an-
other part of the house or a nearby tree. The wind
blowing over a house or tree, falls on top of the
chimney like water over a dam, beating down the
smoke. The top of the chimney should be at least
three (3) feet above the roof and be at least two (2)
feet higher than any point of the roof within ten
(10) feet.

The following usage and safety tips should be

observed:
1. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks and

breaks. If you detect a crack or break, extin-
guish the fire immediately and contact the
manufacturer for a replacement.

2. Do not slam the door or otherwise impact the

glass. When closing doors, make sure that logs
or other objects do not protrude to impact the
glass.

3. Do not build fires against (or that might fall

against) the glass.

4. Do not clean the glass with materials that may

scratch (or otherwise damage) the glass.
Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks
or breaks during operation.

5. Never attempt to clean the glass while the unit

is hot. If deposits are not very heavy, normal
glass cleaners are adequate using a soft, non-
abrasive cleaning pad. Heavier deposits may
be removed with oven cleaners.

6. Never put substances which can ignite explo-

sively in the unit. Even small explosions in
confined areas can blow out the glass.

Gasket and Glass cleaning products are avail-

able at local retail home centers. Manufacturers of
