CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS. GLOVES MAY BE NEEDED FOR INSERT
OPERATION.
• USING AN INSERT WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN COMPONENTS, SUCH AS GLASS OR
FIREBRICKS OR BAFFLES MAY PRODUCE AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND MAY DAMAGE
THE INSERT.
• OPEN THE AIR CONTROL FULLY BEFORE OPENING THE LOADING DOOR.
• THIS INSERT IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH THE DOOR OPEN. THE DOOR MAY
BE OPEN ONLY DURING LIGHTING PROCEDURES OR RELOADING. DO NOT LEAVE
THE INSERT UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPENED DURING IGNITION.
ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR AFTER IGNITION.
• NEVER USE GASOLINE, LANTERN FUEL (NAPHTHA), FUEL OIL, MOTOR OIL,
KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO
START A FIRE IN THIS INSERT. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS WELL AWAY
FROM THE INSERT WHILE IT IS IN USE.

• SOME JURISDICTIONS IN THE USA REQUIRE A SUPPLY OF OUTDOOR COMBUSTION
AIR FOR THE INSERT. IN CANADA, AN OUTDOOR AIR SUPPLY IS NOT REQUIRED; IF A
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) DETECTOR/ALARM IS LOCATED IN THE ROOM IN WHICH
THE INSERT IS INSTALLED. THE CO DETECTOR WILL PROVIDE WARNING IF FOR ANY
REASON THE WOOD INSERT FAILS TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY. IF YOU ARE
REQUIRED TO INSTALL AN OUTDOOR AIR SUPPLY, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU
ALSO INSTALL A CO DETECTOR/ALARM TO PROVIDE WARNING IF SMOKE SPILLAGE
FROM THE INSERT OCCURS.
