This manual contains instructions for Installation, Operation & Maintenance.
Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to follow
instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
1) When installing your stove, particular attention should be paid to fire protection. If this room heater is not
properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions. Contact
local building or fire officials or authority having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection and
permit requirements in your area.
2) CAUTION: Never use gasoline or gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to
start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from heater while it is in use.
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 YOUR WARRANTY!
4) Cool ashes should be disposed of carefully, using a metal container.
5) Do not burn wet or green wood. Store wood in a dry location.
6) DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE
OIL. Do not burn treated wood, or wood with salt (driftwood, etc.). Burning materials other than wood
(including charcoal) under adverse conditions may generate carbon monoxide in the home, resulting in
illness or possible death.
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 advice if in doubt about its condition.
9) Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue already serving another appliance.
10) Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as shown in this manual for this appliance.
11) Build fire on brick firebox floor. Do not use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.
12) HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! Keep children, pets, clothing and furniture away. Contact can cause skin burns.
13) Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system
14) RISK OF FIRE! Do not operate with stove door open, without the firescreen, or ash removal system door open.
15) For further information refer to NFPA 211 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B365 (Canada).
16) Do not operate without fully assembling all components. Burning your stove without the legs attached (if supplied
with unit) will void your warranty, and could present a serious safety hazard
17) Do not oeprate with broken glass..
PRIOR TO FIRST FIRE: Remove all labels from glass. Clean plated surfaces with a glass cleanser and soft

  • Page 10: Chimney Height Requirements & Draft

    CHIMNEY HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS / DRAFT To be sure that your stove burns properly, the chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.04” water column (W.C.) during a low burn and -.10” W.C. during a high burn, measured 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the stove after one hour of operation at each burn setting.
  • Page 11: Flue & Venting Systems

    FLUE SYSTEMS here are two separate and different parts to a flue system: the chimney connector and the chimney itself. 1. Single wall connector or stovepipe. This must be at least 24 gauge mild steel or 26 gauge blue steel. The sections must be attached to the stove and to each other with the crimped (male) end pointing toward the stove.

    SOLID PACK CHIMNEY WITH METAL SUPPORTS AS A THIMBLE For the method of installation to a masonry chimney shown in Figures 13A & 13B, (page 13) it will be necessary to purchase a 12 inch (305mm) long 8 inch (203mm) inside diametert, section of prefabricated listed solid pack chimney to use as a thimble.
  • Page 13: Metal Supports As A Thimble

    SOLID PACK CHIMNEY WITH METAL SUPPORTS AS A THIMBLE (CONT'D) First, make the frame for the thimble, ensuring it is no smaller than 14 inches (356mm) square to maintain a 2 inch (51mm) air space around the chimney section. Attach the wall spacer to the chimney side of the frame.
  • Page 14: Masonry Fireplace

    CONNECTION TO A MASONRY FIREPLACE There are several kits available to connect the stove to a masonry fireplace. Look for a listed kit. The kit is an adapter which is installed at the location of the fireplace damper. The existing damper may have to be removed to allow installation of the kit.
  • Page 15: Metal Prefabricated Chimney

    CONNECTION TO A METAL PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufac- turer’s installation instructions must be followed precisely. It will be necessary to install the ceiling support package or wall pass through, “T” section package, firestops (when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, and any other materials deemed necessary by the instructions of manufacturer of the prefabricated chimney.
  • Page 16: Mobile Home Installation

    You must use a Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit Part 831-1780 for installation in a mobile home. An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while stove is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a fire.
  • Page 17: Outside Air Kit Installation

    OVER-FIRING YOUR APPLIANCE WARNING Fire Risk Do not over-fire. Over-firing may ignite creosote or will damage the stove and chimney. To prevent over-firing your stove, DO NOT: • Use flammable liquids • Overload with wood • Burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber •...
  • Page 19: Air Controls

    FINAL STAGE he final stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs when the flammable gases have been mostly burned and only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of the burn. The coals burn with hot blue flames. It is very important to reload your stove while enough lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood.
  • Page 20: Heat Output Setting

    for maximum operating efficiency with the lowest emissions, follow these operating procedures: Regardless of desired heat output, when loading stove, burn your Quadra-Fire with both air controls wide open for 5 to 15 minutes. Regulate burn rate (heat output) by using the Primary Air Slide Control (center under ashcatcher). The Start-Up Air Control (on the right) is used for initial start-up and reloading.
  • Page 21: Building A Fire

    caution: before lighting your first fire in the stove: 1) make certain that the baffle is correctly posi- tioned. It should be resting against the rear support; 2) Follow instructions on page 22 for cleaning plated surfaces, and; 3) Remove all labels from glass.front. caution: never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up”...
  • Page 22: Burn Rates

    • STARTING FIRE: Start fire with both controls fully open (Start-up Air Control pushed all the way IN and Primary Slider Control all the way to the LEFT.) Close Start-up Air Control after approximately 5 to 15 minutes, • HIGH: Leave the Primary Air Slide Control fully open. It is important to do this when reloading the stove. Failure to do this could result in excessive emissions (opacity).
  • Page 23: Maintenance

    CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL: When wood is burned slowly it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creo- sote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a newly-started or a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
  • Page 24: Glass Care & Replacement

    GLASS CARE OTE: Remove all labels from glass prior to lighting the first fire. This stove is equipped with ceramic, heat-resistant glass, which can only be broken by impact or misuse. Do not slam the stove door or impact the glass. When closing the door, make sure that logs do not protrude against the glass.
