    Thank you for purchasing a Vermont Castings’ WinterWarm, an efficient fireplace carefully engineered to bring you the latest in wood combustion principles and modern foundry technology. The WinterWarm masonry Fireplace Insert turns a traditional masonry fireplace into a powerful heater; the Winter- Warm Fireplace System combines an insulated metal cabinet with the Fireplace Insert so that it may be installed in close-clearance situations where no masonry fireplace and chimney exists.

  • Page 4: Operation

    Your WinterWarm’s Controls and What They Do Three controls regulate the performance of your Win- terWarm: A primary air control supplies oxygen for the fire, a damper directs air flow within the fireplace, and a variable-speed fan control, or rheostat, regulates the warm air flow into the room.

  • Page 5: The Fans

    The Fans Two fans deliver a steady stream of warm air. Heated air from your WinterWarm is forced into the room by two internal fans. The control for the fans is below the brass primary air control knob, just above the upper left corner of the door.
  • Page 6 Use the following air control settings as a starting point to help determine the best settings for your installation. Each is described as a fraction of the total distance the lever may be moved from right to left. WinterWarm Control Settings Burn Rate Primary Air Control From far right to 1/3...

  • Page 7: Damper Settings

    Open Closed Fig. 10 When the damper is closed, the front door automati- cally locks to prevent opening while a fire is burning. 1. Open the stove damper, and open the primary air control fully. FP1074 2. Lay some crumpled newspapers on the bottom grate.
  • Page 8 NOTE: If the charcoal bed is relatively thick and your fuel is well-seasoned, it is possible to add fresh fuel (smaller pieces first), close the door and damper, and reset the air control within five minutes. Special Tactics for Cold-Climate Heating The WinterWarm is capable of producing up to 50,000 Btu’s/hour and heating an area of up to 1,500 ft.

  • Page 9: Maintenance

    • Before replacing the ash pan, clear away any ash that has spilled over the sides and back of the pan. • Replace the ash pan and close the ash door and front door. Empty the ash pan regularly, typically every one to three days.
  • Page 10 Adjust the Door Latch Periodically The front door of the WinterWarm should close securely to prevent accidental opening and should close tightly to prevent air from leaking into the fire chamber. The door handle will be positioned vertically when the door is closed.

  • Page 12 Adjust the Damper as Needed Examine your WinterWarm’s damper after the first 50 hours of use and adjust it if necessary. Thereafter, check the damper at least once a year and adjust as needed. Both fine and coarse adjustments to the damper are possible.
  • Page 13 When to Suspect a Combustor Problem The best way to evaluate the performance of your WinterWarm’s combustor is to observe the amount of smoke leaving the chimney — both when the combus- tor has achieved “light-off” and when it has not. Follow this simple two-step procedure: •...
  • Page 14 • Check the combustor and the bottom of the refractory chamber for a build-up of fly ash, and remove any ash by taking the combustor outside and gently blowing air through the element. Do not brush the surface, as this could damage the element.
  • Page 15 You should inspect the system every two weeks during the heating season as part of a regular maintenance schedule. To inspect the chimney, let the WinterWarm cool completely. Then, using a strong light, sight up through the flue collar into the chimney flue. If it is not possible to inspect the flue system in this fashion, the firechamber must be removed to provide better viewing access.
