This fireplace is equipped with a PureFire Emission Control System.
The Catalytic Hood system reduces particulates emissions in a wood
burning fireplace to meet the EPA Wood-Burning Fireplace Program
Phase 2 emission level.
The EPA qualifying label, shown below, will be affixed to the catalyst.
Before lighting the first fire, remove and maintain this label in a safe
place if needed for permits or building inspection. Prior to beginning
installation, contact your local building official to determine the need
to obtain a permit. For proper operation, catalyst must be replace
every 3 to 5 years.
FUELING GUIDELINES
The fireplace grate must always be secured to the retaining brackets
provided. The position of the grate must be centered against the back
wall of the firebox.
Burn only dry, seasoned (cured) wood with less than 20% moisture.
Avoid the use of treated, painted and laminated wood. Never burn
garbage or other foreign materials. Do not use artificial logs, colored
newspaper or petroleum based fire starters. Avoid wood with high
salt content. All of these materials may contain compounds which
can shorten the life of the catalyst. Wet or unseasoned wood may
lower catalytic temperatures and result in inefficient operation.
The catalyst is designed to function at optimum efficiency when the
fireplace is burning clean, dry, cord wood as fireplace fuel. A simple
visual inspection of the chimney during the wood burning process
will determine catalyst performance.
The fuel load should always be placed on the back of the grate.
Use clean dry wood, seasoned cord wood is the best choice. Never
burn trash, plastics, gasoline, rubber, industrial solvents, flammable
liquids, naptha, household garbage, material treated with petroleum
products, leaves, paper products, cardboard or salt driftwood.
Refer to your IHP Homeowner's Guide included with your fireplace
for proper fire building technique and ash removal procedures. These
fueling guidelines must be followed in order to achieve maximum
emissions performance from the PureFire System.
PHASE 2 QUALIFIED
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Wood-burning Fireplace Program
Phase 2 Qualified models are cleaner and pollute less than those models that
have not met this emissions level. Exposure to smoke has been associated with
respiratory illness and other health problems. Models that have lower smoke
emissions may reduce your risk.

OPERATION
The proper use of a wood burning fireplace equipped with the catalyst
will significantly reduce the emissions that it produces. Simple fuel
considerations with regard to moisture content, size, and quality of
fuel will help control the production of wood smoke and improve the
performance of the catalyst and fireplace efficiency. With proper care,
the catalyst will provide years of fuel savings and lowered emissions.
By following some simple guidelines, you will ensure maximum
performance and longevity.
The smoke that is usually seen coming out of a chimney is essentially
a combination of unburned fuel (carbon and hydrogen) and moisture
in the form of water vapor. The catalyst is a technology that provides
secondary combustion for the wood burning process.
MAINTENANCE
The PureFire System is a maintenance free technology. Do not attempt
to remove or clean the combustor. The direct flame from the fire will
clean the combustor. Only a certified technician should remove the
unit. To ensure proper fireplace operation, the PureFire System should
be replaced every 3 to 5 years (see Parts on page 17).
NOTE: Chimney smoke may be visible during the first 8 to 10 minutes
of fireplace operation when the fire is first getting started and the
final 8 to 10 minutes of operation while the fire is dissipating. Under
normal operating conditions, you should see little or no smoke com-
ing out of the chimney. If continuous smoke is visible, make sure
only dry seasoned wood is being burned. If visible smoke continues,
the combustor has ceased to function or there is thermal crumbling.
