flue may create and distribute soot
within the house. Inspect chimney
and firebox flue for damage. If
damaged, repair flue and firebox
before operating heater.
WARNING: Seal any fresh
air vents or ash clean-out doors
located on floor or wall of fire

aromatic candles, cleaning flu-
ids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in
