Safety Precautions
1. Please read these installation instructions com-
pletely 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 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, an optional outside air kit is highly recommended.
In the event the home is unusually tight, the optional combustion air kit may not provide all the air required to support combustion. Heat-N-Glo 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. The BW36 Series woodburning fireplace must be
installed with the Hearth Technologies Inc. (HTI) SL300 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 fireplace is built for solid fuel only. DO NOT use chimney cleaners or flame colorants in your fireplace.
7. 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.
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 electrical shock or burns. Also, make sure the unit is completely cooled before servic­ing.
10. To ensure a safe fireplace system and to prevent the buildup of soot and creosote, inspect and clean the fireplace and chimney prior to use and periodically during the burning season.
PLEASE RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

The BW36 Series fireplace system has been tested and listed in accordance with the UL127 Standards, and has been listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. for installation and operation in the United States as described in these Installation & Operating Instructions.
The BW36 Series fireplaces have been tested and listed for use with the optional components given on page 4. These optional components may be pur­chased separately and installed at a later date. However, installation of an outside air kit will require significant reconstruction, and should be installed at the time of the initial fireplace installation.
Check with your local Building Code agency prior to installing this fireplace to ensure compliance with local Codes, including the need for permits and follow-up inspections. If any assistance is required during installation, please contact your local dealer or the Heat-N-Glo Technical Services Department, 20802 Kensington Blvd., Lakeville, MN 55044.

Several options are available to you when choosing a location for your fireplace. This fireplace may be used as a room divider, installed along a wall, across a corner or use an exterior chase. See Figure 1.
Figures 2 and 3 show two typical installations assuming an outside air kit is being used. Therefore, an allowance must be made for 90° bends. Less space is required when ducting goes directly outside without form­ing elbows.
