Appliance Description

Model(s): CI2700
Additional Models Discussion: In addition to the CI2700, the manufacturer also offers
the model HI500, which is identical in firebox construction and air intake/control. The
difference between the two models is that the CI2700 faceplate is made from steel,
while the HI500 face plate is cast-iron, giving the appliance a different aesthetic. The
difference between the two models is not expected to cause to appliance to exceed to
required emissions limit.
Appliance Type: Catalytic Wood-Fired Fireplace Insert Heater
Firebox Volume: 1.83 ft
3
Air Introduction System: Primary Air enters the firebox from the front bottom of the
appliance and is channeled up the sides on the appliance and down through the air
wash, as well as through a pilot air opening in the front of the firebox. Primary air is
controlled via a damper arm located below the ashlip which moves left (open) to right
(closed). Secondary air is pulled through a fixed opening in to rear sides of the
appliance and channeled up through a single secondary air tube. Dimensions on all
these features can be found in Appendix D.
Bypass: The combustor bypass plate is located at the top/rear of the firebox and is
operated via a control arm on the front of the stove above the door. When engaged,
flue gases are forced to the front of the firebox and up through the combustor. When
open, the flue gases exhaust straight up the flue through a 7.5" x 2.5" opening.
Flue Outlet: 6-inch exhaust outlet located on the top of the appliance.
Catalytic Combustor: 3, 2.28" x 6.030" x 3" 16 cell ceramic substrate Applied
Ceramics combustors are located at the top of the firebox, above the secondary tubes.
A catalyst temperature probe is provided with the appliance to monitor exit temperatures
within 1" of the combustor.
Fan: The CI2700 is optionally offered with a convection fan that attached to the bottom
front of the appliance.
Appliance design drawings can be found in Appendix D submitted with the CBI copy of
this report.
