Now. a word frem our federal
government, concerning glass-
fronted fireplaces. I’ve picked out
some of the raost crucial warnings,
but if you want the whole bulletin,
write Consumer and Corporate
Affairs and ask for CCAC No. 190
15334 E 89-09. No stamp neces-
sary.

The warning is simple: These
doors can crack or shatter. Imag-
ine what could happen to those,
especially kids, who like to si
close.

To minimize the danger:
¢ Start fire slowly to allow the
glass to warm gradually,
© Don't expect the fireplace to
warm the whole house.
¢ Build only medium-sized fires
and Jet rhem burn down before
retiring.
© Never use flanimable liquids to
start or ‘‘freshen-up”’ a fire,
© Never use a fireplace as an in-
cinerator. Many mieterials can
cause smail explosions that, in the
confined space, may shatter the
glass.
elf using pre-fab logs, read the
jastructions.
© Keep the fire at feast eight inches
from the doors. Don't let logs
touch the doors.

* Don’t slam the doors.

© Scratched or nicked glass should
be replaced with proper fire-proof
glass. Ordinary glass won't do.

* Keep glass clean with a non-
abrasive cleaner. Clean only when
cool.
