FIREPLACE GRATE:
Use of the grate is requited. It has been designed to keep the
operation of your fireplace efficient and safe.
GLASS DOORS:
Bifold glass doors can be installed as an optional accessory. Use
Marco door kit #793412 and refer to the installation instructions
within that kit. The glass doors can be installed before, during or
after installation of the fireplace. NOTE: Use of glass doors
other than those manufactured by Marco Mfg., Inc.
could create a potentially hazardous condition and will
void the Marco warranty.
FAN KITS (Heat Circulating Models only):
A fan kit (Marco part #793623) is available for use with heat
circulating models as an optional accessory. The fan kit can be
installedpriorto.orafterinstallationof the fireplace. NOTE: This
model fireplace does not require a wall switch in order for the fans
to operate. Refer to the installation instructions within the kit for
installation details. IN ORDER FOR THE OPTIONAL
FANS TO OPERATE, THE FIREPLACE MUST HAVE
BEEN WIRED TO THE HOUSE ELECTRICAL SYS-
TEM AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION. (See Fig-
ures 1 and 1 A) NOTE: The utilization of fans will increase the

II. INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Before beginning the installation of your fireplace, read through
these instructions and the instructions contained in the separate
Operation Manual.
This Marco fireplace and its components are safe when installed
according to this installation manual. Unless you use Marco
components which have been designed and tested for this
fireplace system, you may cause a fire hazard.
Marco's Builder 41" fireplaces may be installed in a conventional
or prefabricated home.
The Marco warranty will be voided by, and Marco disclaims any
responsibility for the following actions:
1) Modifications of the fireplace and/or ite components, includ-
ing the assembly of chimney, glass doors, air inlet system and
damper control
2) The use of any component part not manufactured or ap-
proved by Marco in combination with a Marco fireplace
system.
3) Installation other than as instructed in this manual.
4) The use of a fireplace insert or other products not specified
for use with this fireplace.
PROPER INSTALLATION is the most important step in ensur-
ing safe, long-term operation of this fireplace. Consult .the local
building codes as to the particular requirements concerning the
installation of all factory-built fireplaces. Although grounding
may not be required by code, it is recommended by the manufac-
turer.

SELECTING YOUR
FIREPLACE LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efficient location for your
fireplace, consider such factors as room traffic, location of doors
and windows, and construction above and below the installation
area. The fireplace may be installed in any location that is free of
air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. This
location must also allow for the necessary clearances.
LOCATION
Comers should be considered where space is limited or at a
premium. A corner-installed fireplace can make use of space that
may not normally be used (see Figure 5).
A fireplace may be installed flush with the finished wall or
projecting any distance into the room. Flush installation is recom-
mended for smooth or thin wall-facing materials. By installing the
fireplace to project into the room, a shallower cavity is required
to contain the fireplace; thicker natural materials, such as field
stone, can then be used for face material (Figure 2).
PARTIAL
PROJECTION
Figure 2
A location that requires cutting the least number of joists, roof
rafters and floor joists will reduce costs and make installation
easier. This may mean moving only one or two inches from the
selected ideal location. Any location selected must allow ad-
equate room to accommodate the fireplace and framing dimen-
sions shown in Figures 4,5,6 and 7.
Do not place the fireplace on soft-surfaced floor coverings such
as carpeting. The mounting surface must be flat and hard (such
as plywood, wood flooring, particle board or any other hard-
surfaced material), and evenly support the total base of the
fireplace. A raised platform may be used to support the fireplace.
When a fireplace is installed on a combustible floor, a non-
combustible hearth extension must be provided to protect the
floor in front of the opening (Refer to Hearth Extension Section,
pages 16 and 17).
CLEARANCES
A fireplace may not be installed closer than 12 inches to any
unprotected combustible wall perpendicular to the door opening
(Figure 4).
When a 36" x 36" wall shield made from a non-combustible
inorganic material with thermal conductivity K of .54 or less is used,
clearance may be reduced to nine inches (9"). See Table (Figure
37, Page 16) for common materials which can be used as a wall
shield.
When installed in accordance with the instructions given in this
manual, the fireplace system may touch combustible materials at
the bottom. A one inch (1") clearance is required on the sides and
back of the fireplace. The framing stud clearance to the nailing
flange is 0". (Figure 3)
The chimney system requires a one inch (1") minimum air space.
Combustible materials should not be in contact with the mounting
flange of the upper frame.
WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES
WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS (ex-
cept as shown in Figure 29 on Page 13).
• NAILING FLANGE MAY TOUCH THE FRAMING STUD;
CLEARANCE FROM STUD TO FIREPLACE IS 1".
NAILING FLANGE
VERTICAL FRAMING MEMBER Figure 3
FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS
If framing around the fireplace is designed to incorporate book-
shelves, wood bins, closets, etc., these should not project beyond
the safety zone as shown in Figure 4. The fireplace may be
positioned, and then the framing built around it, or the framing may
be constructed and the fireplace pushed into the opening.
INSTALLING YOUR FIREPLACE
STEP 1: Construct the framing using the dimensions in Figure
7. NOTE: If you are using a raised platform, add the raise height.
NOTE: Specified dimensions assume the use of 2X4
framing. If you are using 2X6 framing, add 12" to the
opening height, and after fireplace is installed, finish
space with 2X4 framing. Offsets will be required with
2X6 framing to achieve adequate clearance from the
chimney to combustibles.
STEP 2: Install the provided nailing flanges to the fireplace (as
shown in Figure 8A) and position the fireplace into the framing.
Do not secure yet
STEP 3: Slide the metal safety strips/shields provided 1-1/2"
underneath the fireplace opening as shown in Figure 8. The
safety strips/shields should overlap each other by a minimum of
a half inch (1/2*). NOTE: If you are using a raised platform, a "Z*
type safety shield will be required (See Figure 39.)
STEP 4: Secure the fireplace to the framing at the mounting
flanges as shown in Figure SB.

INSTALLATION OF AIR
INLET ASSEMBLY
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
The installation of an outside accessory kit is highly
recommended. It is very important to ensure good
fireplace operation in homes which are tightly
weathersealed or have ventilating appliances installed.
STEP 1: Determine the source for outside air, which can be
installed through an outside wall or into a ventilated crawl space
(Figure 9). In either case, a 4-1/2 inch diameter hole will be
required for installation of the ah- inlet assembly. CAUTION:
Avoid installing the air inlet where the opening could be blocked
by snow, bushes or other obstacles. The maximum height for the
outside air is SO feet above the hearth, providing the air inlet is
terminated a minimum of three (3) feet below die chimney cap
level.
NOTE: COMBUSTION AIR INLET DUCTS MUST
NOT TERMINATE IN ATTIC SPACE.
STEP 2: Remove the air inlet cover from the right-hand side of
the case (Figure 12). Discard the cover. On some models, the
cover may be of the 'knock-out* type.
STEP 3: Grasp the outside air gate as shown in Figure 10. To
thread it properly into the case, the handle must be turned beyond
its normal operating position. Push the upper edge of the blade
inward past the stop and rotate the handle until it points straight
down.

STEP 4: Hold the air gate to the left hand as shown in Figure 11.
STEP 5: Insert the handle into the case as shown in Figure 12.
Move the air gate assembly forward into position. Make sure the
handle extends through the vertical slot in the front frame side
(See Figure 46, Page 19).
STEP 6: Four screw holes are provided in the air gate assembly
and case body to secure the assembly. At this point, install only
two screws at opposite sides of the flange as shown hi Figure 13.
STEP 7: Install the air inlet eyebrow through the wall opening
(Figure 14). Push a 4* diameter NON-COMBUSTIBLE Class 0
or Class 1 flexible duct onto the eyebrow.
STEP 8: With the two remaining sheet metal screws and the two
clamp brackets supplied, secure the duct to the air gate assembly
as shown in Figure IS.

INSTALLING YOUR
DOUBLE-WALL
CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Each double-wall chimney section consists of an outer pipe, flue
pipe and single-piece wire spacer. The pipe sections are not
unitized and must be assembled independently as the chimney is
installed.
STEP 1: When installing the chimney directly on the fireplace,
install the inner pipe section by fitting the male end into the inner
fireplace starting collar. Make sure the male end is fully inserted
to lock into the lances as shown in Figure 16.
FTRESTOP SPACERS:
Firestop spacers are required at each point where the chimney
penetrates a floor or ceiling joist space. Their purpose is twofold:
they establish and maintain the required clearance between the
chimney and combustible materials, and they provide complete
separation from one floor space to another floor or attic space, as
required by most codes. When penetrating a floor or ceiling at
an angle, either the 15 or 30 degree firestop must be used.
If the pipe passes through a framed opening between floors,
install a firestop spacer to the bottom of the joists (Figure 17). When
pipe passes into the attic space, install the firestop spacer on top
of the joists (Figure 18) and secure with sheet metal screws or nails.

STEP 2: Fit the outer galvanized pipe with the spacer in place
over the outer fireplace starting collar located at the top-center
of the fireplace unit.
Rotate the outer pipe to align the slots to the wire spacer locks. The
wire spacer must protrude through the outer pipe slots.
Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above, mak-
ing sure that both inner and outer sections are locked together.
Stop assembly before reaching the ceiling and cover the exposed
pipe end.
STEP 3: On the ceiling directly above the center of the double-
wall pipe, lay out a 14-1/2 inch square hole (use plumb bob) and
cut out for chimney exit (see Figure 5, Page 3 for dimensions).
ROOM ABOVE

FIRESTOP SPACER
Figure 18
STEP 4: Determine the location of the hole to be cut in the roof.
The roof hole cutout depends on the pitch of the roof, so refer
to the chart in Figure 21, Page 9.
STEP 5: Cut the hole in the roof, then uncover the pipe and add
sections until the chimney extends a minimum of 14 inches above
the highest point of the roof cutout (Figure 19).
STEP 6: When the clearance between outer pipe and
roof joist is leas than 2", a roof joist shield (RJS-8D) is
required. Slide the roof joist shield over the outer pipe. It must
be positioned to cover die joist at all points around the chimney
pipe. Ifnecessary.trimtheshieldslightlytomatchtheslopeofthe
roof. Attach the shield to the joists using the straps provided (see
Figure 19).
STEP 7: Position the flashing over the chimney and flat on the
roof. Mark an outline of the flashing on the roof and remove the
flashing. Remove all nails within the outlined area (Figure 19)
14'
ROOF
Figure 19
STEPS: Place flashing into position on unshingled roof. H>ld
in position by nailing shingles in place over the flashing edges.
STEP 9: Install storm collar on the chimney and push down near
the top of the flashing. Apply waterproof caulking around the top
of the storm collar (Figure 20). NOTE: THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT STEP TO ENSURE A WATERTIGHT
SYSTEM.
NOTE: You may wish to caulk seam notches on all joints above
the flashing and paint all exposed parts of the chimney with
galvanized primer paint. A coat of paint to match the house may
then be applied.

TERMINATIONS
The fireplace and chimney system must be vented to outside the
dwelling and must be terminated with the listed chimney termina-
tions.
The completed chimney, including the termination must extend.
36 inches above the highest point where it passes through the roof*
and not less than two (2) feet above the highest point within ten (10)
feet horizontally (Figure 22).
STEP 10: Install termination on the hist section of pipe. There-
are two (2) round terminations and a Trim Style Top* (TST)
approved for the Builder 41 eight inch (8") chimney system. The
Trim Style Top* is designed to be used on a chase installation or
decorative chimney enclosure only.
Optional Shroud (Part #499272) can be: installed on a chase
installation only if used withBTLC-8D (Part #793103) as shown in
Figure 27E on page 12.
Round terminations can be used on either exposed chimney or
chase installations. The Builder's Round Top Long With Cone
(BTLC-8D) is adjustable to compensate for height variations.
For details, see Figures 27,27C and 27D and consult the installation
instructions of the termination being used.

Marco's Double-Wall Chimney System, when used on the Builder
41 fireplace, is listed for installation to a maximum of 60 feet high.
This measurement includes the fireplace, chimney sections and
the effective height of the termination assembly. The minimum
height of the fireplace system must not be less than 15 feet
including the fireplace, chimney sections, and termination assem-
bly. The minimum height with two elbows (1 set) is 15 feet. The
minimum height with four elbows (2 sets) is 24 feet.
MINIMUM CHIMNEY HEIGHT:
The recommended minimum height of the chimney system (15
feet) is based on the wind and pressure conditions usually found
around the average homesite. Unusual conditions such as
adjacent hills, tall trees, high wind areas, etc. can cause downdrafts
to occur in any chimney system and would therefore require an
extra length of pipe to ensure the proper draft conditions during
the use of the fireplace. Consult your supplier or the local building
inspector for any information they may have regarding local
weather characteristics.
CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE:
Regular inspection and cleaning of the chimney
system is important. Refer to the Warranty and
Operations Manual for instructions.

10 Foot Rule - If chimney is within 10 feet of the
roof peak, adjacent wall or building, the top
should extend a minimum of 2 feet above the roof
peak. When further than 10 feet from the roof
peak, the tip should extend 2 feet higher than the
closest point away horizontally as shown in Figure
22.
IMPORTANT: If an exposed portion of chimney is greater than
five (5) feet above the roof line, use support wires to keep the
chimney secure. The support wires may be attached to the outer
pipe of the chimney with screws, provided the screws are not long
enough to penetrate the inner flue pipe.
CHIMNEY PIPE SUPPORT:
The chimney pipe support is a double-wall, unitized 12" length of
pipe and is designed to relieve the extra weight load on the
fireplace and elbows when high chimneys are installed.
A chimney support is required at the 35 foot level above the
fireplace after a straight chimney run or 35 feet above a return
elbow after a straight chimney run as shown in Figure 23.

USING ELBOWS
TO INSTALL ELBOWS
1. To achieve desired offset, you may install combinations of 12",
18", 36" and 48" lengths of double-wall pipe (see Single Offset
Chart and Figures 24 and 26).
2. Chimney weight above off set rests on return elbow. Straps must
be securely nailed to rafters or joists as shown in Figures 25 and
26.
3. Maximum length of pipe between supports (return elbow or
chimney pipe support) is 6 feet of angled run. Maximum of two
6 feet angled run sections per chimney system (Figure 26).
4. The maximum allowable offset is 30 degrees. Elbows must be
secured to the pipe utilizing a minimum of three screws per joint.
Fasten screw through outer pipe slot. Drill 1/8" pilot hole or use
the self-drilling screws provided.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
When installing a fireplace in an area where the outside tempera-
ture falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, it is essential that you
protect the fireplace's metal bottom from cold air by following one
of the following procedures:
1) Set the fireplace on a 1/4" or larger plywood as shown in Figure
28; or
2) Using a silicone caulking material, rated to temperatures
exceeding 350 degrees, caulk the bottom seams of the fireplace
between the base pan and the outer casing as shown in Figure 28.
NOTE: DO NOT SET THE FIREPLACE ON A CONCRETE
SUBFLOOR WITHOUT THERMAL PROTECTION. USE A
1/4" PLYWOOD OR EQUIVALENT.

1) Carefully inspect the Outside Air, Gas Line; and on units wired
for fans, the "J" Box Cover to ensure a tight fit. Use the caulking
material to carefully seal around each of them to ensure that no
cold air will leak into the firebox.
2) Insulate the gap left between the sides of the fireplace (see
Figure 29). If the gap is too small to effectively insulate, it may be
caulked with the high temperature silicone or equivalent caulking
material.
WARNING: BE CAREFUL NOT TO LET THE INSU-
LATION MATERIAL COME IN CONTACT WITH
THE FIREPLACE IN THE REQUIRED AIR SPACES.
3) Carefully check and caulk all cracks around the fireplace
where cold air could enter the room as illustrated in Figure 30. As
a final caution, carefully caulk the finish trim around the front of
the fireplace between the trim and the fireplace to prevent the
entry of cold air and/or the escape of warm air.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A BLOWN-IN TYPE OF
INSULATION. THIS TYPE OF INSULATION
COULD PLUG THE HOLES AT THE BASE OF THE
CHIMNEY AND INTERFERE WITH THERMAL SI-
PHONING.
For areas with sub-zero temperatures, Marco recommends that
the outer walls and ceiling of the chase be insulated.
CAULK

Figure 30
In colderclimates, utilization of Marco's Cold Climate Kit will help
prevent outside air from entering the room through the flue liner
(Figure 31). Please follow the installation instructions provided
within the kit.
A) The Cold Climate Kit is for residential use only. It may not be
used in Mobile Home Installations.
B) The fireplace must be installed with a minimum one inch (1")
clearance to combustibles and the chimney must be installed with
a 2" minimum clearance.
13
Q The air inlet must be installed a minimum of 7 feet above the
outside ground level (Figure 31).
D) The following chimney height limits must be observed:
BTLC-8D & BTC-8D - Without elbows, IS feet minimum and
60 feet maximum; Up to four (4) elbows: 24 feet minimum and 60
feetmaximum.
TST-8D - 24 feet minimum, 60 feet maximum with up to four
elbows. Installation less than 24 feet is not allowed.
E) When the air inlet runs alongside the chimney, it must not end
closer than three (3) feet to the chimney termination as shown in
Figure 31 A.
F) When installation requires penetrating fire-resistant floors or
ceilings, contact your local building officials for installation re-
quirements in your area.

INSTALLING THE GAS LINE
IMPORTANT: Install the gas line before finishing the fire-
place. If desired, a decorative gas appliance may be installed. Use
only iron pipe, 1/2" size, and appropriate fittings. When installing
the gas line, a valve designed for installation outside the fireplace
is required as shown in Figure 32.
The gas line may be installed to enter the fireplace from either
side; see Figure 6 for "knock-out" locations. The unit is shipped
from the factory ready for installation on the right-hand side. To
install in the right-hand side, proceed as follows: First, remove the
cover from the outside of the fireplace casing with a 5/16" socket
wrench and remove conduit sleeve. Take insulation material out
of the gas line conduit and save for reuse. Locate the mark on the
side panel of the inside wall of the firebox. It is approximately 1-
1/2" from the bottom of the fireplace. Using a light punch, knock
the plug through the inside of the firebox. Reinsert the conduit
sleeve.
If a left-hand installation is desired, knock out the plug in the
fireplace case on the left-hand side. Proceed as for a right-hand
installation; however, make sure to move the conduit from the
right-hand side to the left-hand side. Then replace the cover on
the right-hand side.
Run the gas line just inside the entrance hole of the fireplace.
Install a 7" minimum nipple to reach inside the fireplace. Repack
the insulation to the conduit sleeve around the nipple. Finish the
installation by either capping the gas line or attaching a gas log.
The gas line is intended for connection to a decorative gas
appliance that incorporates an automatic shutoff device and
complies with the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for
installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60. The Decorative
Gas Appliance must have been installed in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and NFPAS4.
CAUTION: WHEN USING THE DECORATIVE AP-
PLIANCE, THE FIREPLACE DAMPER MUST BE
SET IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION.
TEST FOR GAS LEAKS
All gas piping and connections must be tested for
leaks after the installation is completed. Be sure to
turn on the gas valve. If bubbles appear, leaks can
be detected and corrected. Apply a soap suds
solution to all connections and joints. DO NOT
use a match or open flame of any kind to test for
leaks. Never operate any appliance with leaky
connections. . .
14
HI. FINISHING THE FIREPLACE
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is impor-
tant to remember the following: THE BLACK FACE OF THE
FIREPLACE MAY NOT BE COVERED WITH ANY
TYPE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. The louvres at
the bottom of the heat circulating models may not be obstructed
in any way. Figures 34 and 35 show examples of a clean face and
heat circulating installation.
Non-combustible facing material such as tile, brick, glass, etc. may
overlap the black face of the fireplace. The face of the fireplace
may be painted to match the room decor provided you use a heat-
resistant paint. NOTE: Decorative facing must not extend
into the fireplace opening at all, because it will inter-
fere with the operation of the. glass doors.

HEARTH EXTENSIONS:
If there is a combustible floor construction in front of the fireplace,
you are required to protect it with a hearth extension. The hearth
extension, as shown in Figure 36, must be a minimum of 16 hiches
deep by 51 inches wide, and extend a minimum of 8" beyond each
side of the fireplace opening.
The hearth extension must be made from a non-combustible
inorganic material with a thermal conductivity, K, of .43 or less.
The thermal conductivity, K, or thermal resistance, R, of materials
can usually be obtained from the manufacturer. The factors are
related by the formula K- 1/R. The thickness required for various
common materials and their factors are shown in Figure 37.

Whatever the material used, sufficient thickness must be laid
down to maintain an equivalent K factor.
The thermal insulating layer may be covered by any non-
combustible material such as metal, tile, slate, brick, glass, con-
crete, marble or stone. When using a low density insulating
material, a supporting metal cover, such as shown in Figure 38,
should be fabricated and installed. NOTE: Somenoncombustible
coverings such as metal, slate, sandstone and marble are rela-
tively good conductors of heat and must be used in combination
with the more thermally resistant materials.
In finishing up the hearth extension, be sure to fasten it securely
to the floor to prevent shifting, and seal the gap between the
fireplace frame and the hearth extension with a non-combustible
material (see Figure 42).

IV. OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
DAMPER CONTROL LEVER
The damper control lever is centrally located inside the top, front
of the firebox. It is engineered to assist in the safe operation of the
fireplace. DO NOT CLOSE THE DAMPER IN AN ATTEMPT TO
REDUCE A LARGE FIRE. Closing the damper will interfere with
the fireplace's exhaustion system and it is likely to become a
smoke hazard. DEPENDING ON WHETHER YOU HAVE A
CLEAN FACE OR HEAT CIRCULATING MODEL, THE
OPERATION OF YOUR DAMPER WILL VARY. PLEASE
REFER TO FIGURES 45 AND 45A TO SEE WHICH WAY
YOUR DAMPER SYSTEM OPERATES. To operate the damper,
move the lever from the closed to open position as illustrated in
Figure 45. Note: Damper positions are reversed on Heat Circulat-
ing models. If you should find smoke entering your home, check
to make sure the damper has been opened.
NOTE: The damper must remain open until the fire is totally
extinguished. Partially burned logs can appear to be out, even
when still burning and giving off dangerous gases. If the damper
' is closed too soon, these gases may escape into the room.

FIREPLACE GRATE
This fireplace is standardly equipped with a grate. Utilizing the
grate properly will help keep the fireplace's operation efficient and
safe. The size and position of the grate is engineered to provide the
ideal combustion characteristics for the fireplace. Keeping the logs
within the grate and off the floor of the hearth will prevent the chance
of logs rolling out of the fireplace. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE
FIREPLACE. Piling excessive wood on the grate will not increase
the fireplace's efficiency and could cause smote to enter the room.
Additionally, make sure to keep the hearth area under the grate free
of excessive ash buildup. This will allow a free flow of air for the
fire.
OUTSIDE AIR CONTROL
The outside combustion kit is an optional accessory that may have
been installed in your fireplace's side frame. It's use provides
combustion air from outside of the dwelling and improves the
efficiency of the fireplace. Open it before operating the fireplace as
shown in Figure 46.

DOS AND DON'TS
* Read operation and warranty manual thoroughly
before installing and using this fireplace.
* This fireplace is intended for use with solid Wood
fuel only.
* If installing fireplaces in cold climates, follow the
cold climate instructions listed on page 13.
* Check the hearth periodically for cracks and dam-
age. Hairline cracks are a normal result of the
repeated heating and cooling of the firebrick refrac-
tory and will not damage the fireplace. However, if
a crack should become larger than 1/16" (approxi-
mately the width of a dime), then replace the
refractory.
* Have repairs done by a qualified service technician.
* Open the damper to ensure proper operation.
* Open the outside air gate before starting your fire.
Ventilating fans, central heating systems and ex-
haust fans can cause fireplaces to smoke by stealing
the available combustion air needed for burning the
wood in your fireplace.
* "Cure" the refractory lining by building only small
. fires the first three times you use the fireplace. The
refractory firebrick is made from a combination of
materials, including cement and water. A large
roaring fire, built on uricured refractory, may cause
cracks by generating steam within the refractory.
* Keep the area in front of the fireplace clear of
combustible materials such as drapes, paper prod-
ucts, wood storage, furniture, etc.
* CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR
REMOVAL - Slowly burning wood produces tar
and other organic vapors that combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. This creosote residue
will condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of
a slow-burning fire and accumulate on the flue
lining. If ignited, this creosote will make an
extremely hot fire. To prevent a hazard, inspect the
chimney at least twice a year during the heating
season to determine if creosote buildup has oc-
curred. If creosote has accumulated, remove it to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Using only dry
seasoned wood, will help prevent excessive creosote
buildup. Consult your warranty manual for clean-
ing instructions.
* When the fire is actively burning, keep the doors
open for maximum heat output
* To help prevent grate "burnout," keep the base of
the fireplace clean of excessive ash buildup.
* Except when adding fuel, keep the fireplace screens
closed at all times.
* WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE COL-
LAR OPENINGS AROUND THE BASE OF THE
CHIMNEY AT THE TOP OF THE FIREPLACE
NEVER USE BLOWN INSULATION TO FILL
THE CHIMNEY ENCLOSURE.
* Do not use a fireplace insert or other products not
specified for use with this fireplace.
* Do not overload the grate; it could cause smoke to
enter the room.
* Do not allow ash under the burning logs to build to
a point where it hinders the air flow.
* Do not block the bottom vent or louvre grilles.
* Do not burn large amounts of wastepaper or card-
board in your fireplace.
* Do not burn scrap construction lumber; it produces
excessive
* Do not burn wood products with synthetic binders
like artificial logs or plywood, as these produce
abnormally high temperatures.
* Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kero-
sene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to
start or "freshen up" a fire. Keep all such liquids
well away from the fireplace.
* Never close the damper until you are certain that
there are no warm embers.
* Disposal of Ash: Place ash in a metal container with
a tight-fitting lid. Keep the closed container on a
non-combustible floor, or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending final dis-
posal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be re-
tained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
