Keep It Clear
Fireplaces reach extremely hot temperatures while in operation and during cool-down. Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other combustibles out of the way while the fireplace heats or cools.
Use Safety Screen
Ensure that a safety screen is securely in place when your fireplace is in operation to reduce the risk of potential burns. Missing a screen?

Be Vigilant
Never leave a fire unattended. Do not allow children or pets to get too close to the fireplace. Have your chimney and fireplace professionally inspected at least once a year. Install a carbon monoxide detector.
Danger: HOT
The glass and metal surrounding your fireplace will reach extreme temperatures and remain hot for a period after your product is shut off. Always supervise and keep children a safe distance away to prevent accidental contact with the glass.
Protect Your Family with a Safety Screen
A protective safety screen will help prevent skin from meeting the hot glass, greatly reducing the risk of serious burns. Do not remove the screen or alter it in any way.
