WARNING

Read entire manual before installation and operation of the Magnum Fireplace. Failure to follow these instructions may result

in product warranty being voided, property damage, bodily harm or even death. Always disconnect the power to the blowers

(if you have the blower option) before attempting service work.

DO NOT connect the Fireplace to a chimney serving another appliance.

ALL MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES MUST BE FOLLOWED.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

When installing your Magnum Fireplace, particular attention needs to be paid to fire protection. If the fireplace is not properly

installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation and operations instructions provided. If you have a

question, contact local building officials about restrictions and installation requirements in your area.

CAUTION

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen” up a fire

in this fireplace. Keep all such liquids well away from the fireplace at all times. If you are using processed solid fuel fire logs,

use only fire logs that have been evaluated for use in this type of fireplace. Do not poke or stir the logs while they are burning.

Refer to the package instructions for their proper use and warnings.
