IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Congratulations on your purchase of an R. H. Peterson Co. Real Fyre direct vent insert. Made with pride in
America, your new insert complies with national safety standards and when installed per these instructions and
used as intended it will provide warmth and comfort to your home for many years.
Due to the extreme heat output of the insert, there is a risk of burns if care is not taken in the operation of
the unit. PLEASE READ THE SAFETY AND OPERATION INFORMATION AND WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL
BEFORE USING YOUR INSERT. Be aware that glass panels and other surfaces get extremely HOT and can
cause burns if touched. Factory-provided barrier screens help to reduce the risk of serious burns as they can
prevent direct contact with the glass. However, barrier screens still retain heat and must not be touched. The
insert glass and surrounding material will remain HOT for a period of time after the unit is turned off, so caution
should be used at all times.
Refer to all safety information and warnings provided in this manual.
