WARNING: Do not pack required air spaces with insulation or other materials. 14. Never leave children unattended when there is a fire burning in the fireplace. 15. Burning some fuels can be hazardous due to the possibility of producing carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble flu symptoms, including headaches, dizziness or nausea. Overexposure to carbon monoxide can lead to illness and death. It is strongly recommended to install smoke and carbon monoxide alarm / detector devices wherever fireplaces are installed. 16. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers, young children and others may be susceptible to accidental contact burns.A physical barrier is recommended if there are at-risk individuals in the house.To restrict access to the fireplace, install a adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at-risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces. 17. Clothing or flammable material should not be placed on or near the fireplace. 18. Due to high temperatures, the fireplace should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies. 19.

NOTE: It is important that a 1/2" bead of Earthcore Earthcore adhesive is piped onto all the components' contact Adhesive Earthcore surfaces, about 1/2" in from all edges. (Figure 13) Adhesive When setting the next component onto the Earthcore tfr ` adhesive contact surface of the base plate,some Earthcore adhesive should squeeze out along the face of the entire joint as a sign of complete and proper sealing of the joint.

Leveling and Aligning Components: Be sure to assemble all Isokern components level and flush with adjoining components. Earthcore Adhesive is not intended to create a Earthcore adhesive joint of any thickness for leveling purposes. Therefore, leveling and alignment adjustments are made by the use of small plastic shims supplied with the unit. (Figure 14) The shims can be inserted under a component to level and align it with adjacent Isokern components. Be sure to re-grout any and all gaps resulting from shim insertion to maintain components to full bearing.

When building offset sequences it is necessary to 3„ support the third offset block in the sequence and every third offset block thereafter to footings via concrete block or steel support columns. When using only one or two offset blocks no additional support is required. During this building process it is important to check the FIGURE 46 interior flue alignment as each offset block is set to avoid creating overhanging ledges on the inside of the flue. Such internal overhangs will inhibit flue drafting. Offset sequences are best when built as low as possible in the chimney run to maximize performance.
