Safety instructions: Instructions: for a safe and long-burning fire, follow instructions carefully. Open fireplace damper before lighting firelog. Burn firelog on supporting grate toward the back of fireplace. Grates with bar spacing greater than three inches do not provide adequate support and may result in firelog breakage, flare-up, and/or reduced burn time. Do not burn firelogs on andirons. Burn only one firelog at a time, and never add anything to an existing firelog fire. Do not burn firelog with any other materials. Close wire mesh protective fire screen when burning firelog. Always leave fireplace glass doors open while firelog is burning unless fireplace manufacturer's instructions indicate otherwise. Never leave any fire unattended. Do not allow children or pets to play near fire. Always make sure the log is completely extinguished (no flame or smoke) before leaving the house or going to bed. Logs that are not completely extinguished can produce smoke after the flames go out. Carefully break up the firelog with a fireplace poker at the very end of the burn when a small flame is still present. This should allow any remaining log material to burn out. Store out of reach from children and pets. Not suitable for human or animal consumption. Caution-risk of fire: The Duraflame firelog is designed to light easily with a match or butane utility lighter. Do not use flammable liquids, fire starters, or fireplace gas log lighters to ignite firelog. Do not poke a burning firelog with fireplace tools unless the fire is almost out. Poking or breaking up a burning firelog in the first 2 hours after lighting can cause the firelog to become extremely flammable and result in sudden flare-up. Flaming particles may stick to tools. Do not place wood or any other items on a burning firelog. To extinguish firelog in an emergency, use UL listed dry chemical fire extinguisher or carefully douse fire with water. Do not close fireplace damper until ashes are cool. Dispose of cool ashes in garbage. Not suitable for use in gardens. Do not use in wood stoves or barbecues. Do not use for roasting marshmallows or other cooking. Burning this manufactured firelog results in emissions that can expose you to chemicals including carbon monoxide, soot, smoke and other combustion by-products, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and/or other adverse health effects.
