WARNING: Extremely Hot!
Heat and flammability
• Some parts of your fireplace are extremely hot, par-
ticularly the glass window. Use the provided barrier
screen and a gate to reduce the risk of severe burns.
• The glass windows can exceed temperatures of
500°F at full capacity.
• Always keep the appliance clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
• Be aware of hot wall surfaces. The wall directly above
the fireplace can get very hot when the fireplace
heats. Although safe, it may reach temperatures in
excess of 200ºF depending on choice of trims or
optional accessories. Do not touch!
• Be aware of hot surfaces in front of the fireplace
windows. A shelf directly in front of the fireplace can
get very hot when the fireplace heats. Although safe,
they may reach temperatures in excess of 200ºF
depending on elevation of the shelf. Do not place
anything on it.
• Some materials or items, although safe, may dis-
color, shrink, warp, crack, or peel due to the heat
produced by the fireplace. Avoid placing candles,
paintings, photos and other combustible objects
sensitive to heat or furniture within 36 inches (0.9m)
around the fireplace.
• Solid wood flooring in front of the fireplace (if al-
lowed) may shrink during the heating season due
to heat.
• Due to its high temperature, the appliance should be
located away from high-traffic areas, furniture, and
draperies.
• Clothing or flammable material should not be placed
on or near the appliance.
Barrier screen and safety
• A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from
the hot viewing glass is provided with this appliance
and shall be installed for the protection of children
and other at-risk individuals.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface 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. Tod-
dlers, young children, and others may be suscep-
tible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier
is recommended if there are at-risk individuals in
the house. To restrict access to a fireplace 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.
• Any safety screen, guard, or barrier removed for ser-
vicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operat-
ing the appliance.
