SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Please read these installation instructions completely
before beginning installation procedures. Failure to
follow them could cause a fireplace malfunction
resulting in serious injury and/or property damage.
2. Always check your local building codes prior to
installation. The fireplace installation must comply
with all local, regional, state and national codes and
regulations.
3. An adequate supply of replacement combustion air
from outside the house must be available to the fire
for the fireplace to operate properly. To achieve this,
the use of the optional outside air kit is highly
recommended.
In the event the home is unusually tightly sealed, the
optional combustion air kit may not provide all the air
required to support combustion. Hearth Technologies
Inc. is not responsible for any smoking or related
problems that may result from the lack of adequate
combustion air. It is the responsibility of the builder/
contractor to ensure that adequate combustion air
has been provided for the fireplace.
4. This fireplace must be installed with the Hearth
Technologies Inc. (HTI) SL Series Chimney System.
The chimney system must always terminate outside
the building. Be sure to follow all chimney
specifications given in these installation instructions.
5. NEVER leave children unattended when there is a fire
burning in the fireplace.
6. This woodburning fireplace is built for solid fuel only.
NEVER use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids in
this fireplace. Keep any flammable liquids a safe
distance from the fireplace.
7. DO NOT use chimney cleaners or flame colorants in
your fireplace.
8. The flue damper must be open at all times when the
fireplace is in use.
9. While servicing this fireplace, always shut off any
electricity or gas to the fireplace. This will prevent
possible electric shock or burns. Also, make sure the
fireplace is completely cooled before servicing.
10. To ensure a safe fireplace system and to prevent the
build up of soot and creosote, inspect and clean the
fireplace and chimney prior to use and periodically
during the burning season. See page 26 for cleaning
instructions.
