Question
Do you know where I can find manuals for Warnock Hershey fire places? Very grateful for your help.

Answer
There is no such manufacturer as Warnock-Hershey.  Warnock-Hershey is a testing agency for fireplaces and hearth products amongst other products for the general public.  They do the testing and listing of products so that these products can become consumer goods for sale to the general public.  They are not in the business of manufacturing or selling fireplaces or hearth appliances themselves though.  
I hope this has been helpful to you.  Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.  Thank you.
