Natural gas and propane H5 Series Fireplace models 1100 and 1150 installed with certain 3 and 4-sided fireplace trim (model numbers 1135, 1140, 1145, 1149 or 1184) have been recalled due to the possibility of convective heat (heated air only) escaping from behind the fireplace trim and overheating.
While there is no evidence of a fire risk or significant charring, the stream of convective heat could cause possible discoloration of the adjacent wood studs or, over a period of time, charring of the wood behind the trim.
Miles Industries has received one report of discoloration in Canada, and no reports of injuries. In the United States, the company has received no reports of charring or discoloration, and no reports of injuries.
Consumers should contact the dealer where the fireplace was purchased to schedule the installation of a left and right bracket in order to prevent any convective air displacement.
For more information, consumers may contact Miles Industries by telephone toll-free at 1-866-420-3360 between 7:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. PST Monday through Friday, by email, or online on the H5 Recall Notice.
