INTRODUCTION
GENERAL INFORMATION
FIGURES 1
Secondary air feeds directly into the combustion chamber at
hearth level through the log retainer and also through inlets
located at the bottom back corner of the combustion cham-
ber. This air travels up the riser to the four secondary air tubes
located at the top and shoots out laterally to oxidize the gases
rising to the smoke exit.
The combustion chamber is lined with high-temperature fire-
brick on all sides, and across the bottom to maintain a high
temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases mix-
ing with the preheated air from the secondary air tubes are
easily ignited and burned. Indeed, it is fascinating to watch
flames flickering much of the time from the secondary air
tubes. The fireplace sides and back permit a zero clearance
installation and direct the heat upwards and forwards into the
room. Be sure to provide sufficient combustion air. There are
many other appliances in your home competing for air such
as a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices or a bath-
room exhaust fan.
If the outside air feature is utilized, you will never experience a
shortage of combustion air. If you choose not to utilize outside
air and experience draft or smoking problems, you may need
to open a door or window.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a
vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may emit a
slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles
in the firebox burning off. Open a window to sufficiently venti-
late the room.

This is the most efficient, sim-
ple
and
trouble
free
woodburning system we know
of and works as follows:
Primary combustion air enters
through the air control inlet box
regulated by a draft control,
travels up the side through a
duct and enters the top center
of the combustion chamber
into a preheating airwash lo-
cated across the top and then
down the window to feed the
fire and also to ensure that the
glass remains clean.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use makeshift compromises during instal-
lation.
All venting connections must be in compliance with the
chimney manufacturers installation instructions.

ings!
Clearances referred to throughout this manual are the mini-
mum requirements.

the need to obtain a permit. If you are in doubt about the
proper installation for your situation, contact your dealer or
local building or fire official. The manufacturer does not
guarantee that this fireplace and its options will completely
heat your entire home. Expansion / contraction noises dur-
ing heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to
be expected.
It is recommended that the fireplace to be secured to the
floor. Use the pallet packing brackets to accomplish this.
Burning your unit with the ash dump door open or
ajar creates a fire hazard that may result in discol-

the fireplace or a house and/or chimney fire.
