• Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety screens and hearth guards to protect children
from hot surfaces. These screens and guards must be fastened to the fl oor.

• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

• It is imperative that the control compartments, circulating blower and its passageway in the appliance
and are kept clean. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualifi ed

• Connect to properly grounded outlets only.

• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an
electric shock or fi re, or damage the appliance.

• To prevent a possible fi re, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft
surfaces, like a carpet, where openings may become blocked.

• Always plug appliances directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use an extension cord or
relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).

• Ensure clearances to combustibles are maintained when building a mantel or shelves above the
