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 insert, 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, fire
officials or authority having jurisdiction about restrictions,installation inspection and permits requirements in your area.
2) CAUTION: Never use gasoline, 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 the heater while it is in use.
3) During operation, if any part of the insert starts to glow, the insert is in an overfired condition. Close the air controls
completely by pulling them out, 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 chimnney 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 insert door open. Operating with door open could result in overfiring.

  • Page 17: Operation Overview Wood Selection & Storing

    5100-I WOOD INSERT OPERATION WOOD SELECTION AND STORAGE Burn only dry seasoned wood. Dry, well-seasoned wood will not only minimize the chance of creosote formation but will give you the most efficient heat output. Even dry wood contains at least 15% moisture by weight and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney hot enough to maintain particulate (smoke) burning.
  • Page 18: Burn Rates & Opacity

    5100-I WOOD INSERT OPERATING TIPS 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 a minimum of 5 to 15 minutes.
  • Page 19: Air Quality

    5100-I WOOD INSERT AIR QUALITY AND YOUR QUADRA-FIRE INSERT In recent years there has been an increasing concern about the quality of our air. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order to improve this situation we at Quadra-Fire have developed cleaner burning inserts that surpass the stringent requirements for emissions established by our governing agencies.
  • Page 20: Maintenance

    5100-I WOOD INSERT MAINTENANCE CARE AND CLEANING OF PLATED SURFACES IMPORTANT: You must clean all the fingerprints and oils from the plated surfaces before firing the insert for the first time.
