PLEASE READ ALL OF THE OWNERS MANUAL AND SAFETY NOTES
1.
When installing your stove, particular attention should be paid to fire protection. If this unit is not properly installed, a
house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation instructions and contact local building or fire officials
about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.
2.
Never use gasoline or similar liquids to start a fire in this unit. Keep all such liquids well away from stove.
3.
During operation, if any part of the stove starts to glow, the stove is in an overfired condition. Close the air controls
completely until the glowing has stopped. OVERFIRING VOIDS WARRANTY.

Cool ashes should be disposed of carefully, using a metal container.
5.
Do not burn wet or green wood. Store wood in dry location.
6.
Do not burn garbage, treated wood, or wood with salt (driftwood, etc.). Burning materials other than wood (including

7.
Do not permit creosote or soot to accumulate excessively in the chimney or inside the firebox.
8.
Check your chimney system thoroughly when installing into an existing metal or masonry chimney. Seek professional

  • Page 7: Safety Listing

    SAFETY LISTING The Quadra-Fire 3100 is listed by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. , Beaverton, Oregon, to UL 1482-83, (UM)84 HUD and ULC S627. It is also approved for mobile home installations with outside combustion air in the U.S. (see pages 15 and 16 for further details). For residential installations in Canada without an outside combustion air kit, a source of fresh air into the room must be provided.

  • Page 8: Chimney Connector

    NOTE: These are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat for individual installations. Your Quadra-Fire stove was designed for and tested on a 6” (152mm) chimney, 12’-14’ (3.66-4.27m) high, measured from the top of the stove. The further your stack height or diameter varies from this configuration, the probability of performance problems increases.
  • Page 9 The chimney must have a fire clay flue liner (or equivalent) with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (16mm) and must be installed with refractory mortar. There must be at least ½” (13mm) air space between the flue liner and the chimney wall (Figure 4). An equivalent liner must be a listed chimney liner system or other approved material.
  • Page 10 Remember that insulation must not contact the chimney. There must be air space around the chimney. Insulation must be 2” (50mm) or more from the chimney (Figure 6). FIGURE 6 A chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstruction for safety and proper draft operation. The chimney must be a minimum of 3’...

  • Page 11: Thimble

    2. THIMBLE: An approved thimble must be used when the connection from the stove is made through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney. There are several methods you can use for connection through a combustible wall, two of which are illustrated in this manual. For additional methods, consult local building authorities or use the standards set forth in NFPA 211.

  • Page 12: 6" Solid Pack Chimney With Metal Supports

    FIGURE 9 Minimum 3 ½” (89mm) [4” (102mm) nominal] thick solid bricks are to be used. The fire clay liner (ASTM C35 or equivalent), 5/8” (16mm) wall thickness, must not penetrate into the chimney beyond the inner surface of the chimney flue liner and must be firmly cemented in place. If it is necessary to cut a hole in the chimney liner, use extreme care to keep it from shattering.
  • Page 13 First, build the frame for the thimble, making sure that it is no smaller than 14½” (368mm) diameter, which will maintain a 2” (50mm) air space around the chimney section. Attach the wall spacer to the chimney side of the frame.

  • Page 14: Connection To A Metal Prefabricated Chimney

    CONNECTION TO A METAL PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed precisely. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc.

  • Page 15: Mobile Home Installation

    MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION You must use a Quadra-Fire 3100 outside air kit (see page 16 for part numbers) for installation in a mobile home. Use of alternative material will void warranty. 1. An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and be unrestricted while unit is in use.

  • Page 20: Operating Instructions

    In recent years there has been an increasing concern about air quality. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order to improve the situation, we at Quadra-Fire have developed cleaner-burning wood stoves that surpass the requirements for emissions established by our governing agencies.

  • Page 21: Blower Operating Instructions

    Here are a few tips on operating your Quadra-Fire stove to obtain maximum efficiency with lowest emissions: Regardless of desired heat output, when loading stove, burn your Quadra-Fire with both air controls wide open for a minimum of 15 minutes.

  • Page 22: Building A Fire

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont.) BURNING GUIDELINES (cont.) MEDIUM: After a wood load has been burning on high for at least 15 minutes (longer for very large pieces or wet wood), close (pull out) the primary control (on the right side of the stove). Leave the secondary control (under the ashcatcher) open (pushed in).

  • Page 23: Maintenance

    NOTE: Remove all labels from glass before lighting the first fire in your stove. Quadra-Fire stoves are equipped with ceramic super heat-resistant glass, which can only be broken by impact or misuse. Do not slam stove door or impact the glass. When closing door, make sure that logs do not protrude against the glass.

  • Page 24: Door Handle Assembly And Glass Replacement

    Remove glass tabs and screws with a Phillips screwdriver (turn screws counterclockwise). 3. Lift glass frame pieces and glass out of the door frame. Lay new glass with fiberglass tape around it into the door frame, making sure the Quadra-Fire logo reads correctly to the outside.
