The internet is a great place to find any installation or owner’s manual. Throwing away the packaging and instructions with most appliances is common practice. If you need the manual, you know you can always look it up online. Manuals Lib is a super useful website, but it might be missing specific information about your unique hearth unit. Reddit is a great backup resource as well. Places like /r/Fireplaces, /r/Pelletstovetalk and /r/Woodstoving are treasure troves of hearth information.

Think of Fireplaces and Stoves as Home Heating Appliances
Gas fireplaces, wood stoves and pellet fireplace inserts are a large investment for your home. These heating appliances offset the traditional cost of electric or oil heat and provide zone heating that warms where you live. Rather than wasting money heating your whole home at a tepid 80 degrees, a hearth appliance offers direct, meaningful heat that warms your bones. Fuel choice gives peace of mind, in the case that the electricity is out or oil delivery is delayed, you have other heating options to keep your family safe during the cold of the winter.
Our team at The Stove Shop believes that fuel choice and zone heating are two of the most important components of our mission statement, “Stay warm, save money,” Our products actually help the people that purchase them. You will love your wood stove after two years of use. That is not true for most products today. After two years, most appliances are broken down, no longer fulfilling their sales pitch. Hearth appliances are a product you will love for many years after purchase. With proper installation and regular service, we know you will love your fireplace far into the future.
