GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This is the most effi cient,
simple and trouble free
woodburning system
we know of and works
as follows:
FIGURE 3
Primary combustion air enters through the air control inlet box regulated
by a draft control, travels up the side through a duct and enters the top
centre of the combustion chamber into a preheating airwash located
across the top and then down the window to feed the fi re and also to
ensure that the glass remains clean.
Secondary air feeds directly into the combustion chamber at hearth level
through the log retainer and also through inlets located at the bottom
back corners of the combustion chamber. This air travels up the riser
to the four secondary air tubes located at the top and shoots out laterally
to oxidize the gases rising to the smoke exit.
The combustion chamber is lined with high-temperature fi rebrick on
all sides, and across the bottom to maintain a high temperature in the
combustion chamber so that gases
the secondary air tubes are easily ignited and burned. The fi replace
sides and back permit a zero clearance installation and direct the
heat upwards and forwards into the room. Be sure to provide suf-
fi cient combustion air. There are many other appliances in your home
competing for air such as a kitchen range hood, forced air heating
devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.
If the outside air feature is utilized, you will never experience a
shortage of combustion air. If you choose not to utilize outside air
and experience draft or smoking problems, you may need to open
a door or window.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation
or a warm weather season, the fi replace may emit a slight odour for
a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the fi rebox burning
off. Open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.

GENERAL INFORMATION

CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:
Use of this product may produce smoke which contains chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
Do not use makeshift compromises during installation. Do
not block or restrict air, grille or louvre openings! Do not
add a hood.
Burning your unit with the ash dump door open or ajar
creates a fi re hazard that may result in discoloration to
the gold plated door, internal damage to the fi replace or
a house and/or chimney fi re.
All venting connections must be in compliance with the chimney manu-
facturers installation instructions.
Clearances referred to throughout this manual are the minimum re-
quirements.

Your fi replace must be installed in accordance with all national and local
building code standards and the standard of Chimney and Fireplaces,
Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances NFPA #211. Consult the
authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal building department,
fi re department, fi re prevention bureau, etc.) to determine the need
to obtain a permit. If you are in doubt about the proper installation for
your situation, contact your dealer or local building or fi re offi cial. The
manufacturer does not guarantee that this fi replace and its options will
completely heat your entire home.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down
cycles are normal and to be expected.
Mobile home installation requires that the fi replace be secured
to the fl oor. It is recommended that in all cases, the fi replace be
secured to the fl oor. Use the pallet packing brackets to accomplish
this.

CARE OF GLASS AND PLATED PARTS

If the glass is not kept clean permanent discoloration and / or blem-
ishes may result. Normally a hot fi re will clean the glass. The most
common reasons for dirty glass include: not using suffi cient fuel to
get the stove thoroughly hot, using green or wet wood, closing the
draft so far that there is insuffi cient air for complete combustion. If it
is necessary to clean the glass, use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive
cleaner. Do not clean the glass when hot!
The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest or fall against it
and always close the door gently. Never force it shut!
If the glass should ever crack while the fi re is burning, do not open the
door until the fi re is out and do not operate the stove again until the glass
has been replaced with a new 5mm thick piece of ceramic glass, available
from your authorized dealer. Do not substitute materials.
For information on glass removal and replacement, see Mainte-
nance.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a
clean dry cloth.
Prolonged high temperature burning with the door ajar may cause a
permanent rainbowing effect on the lower edge of a gold plated door.
NOTE: The protective wrap on plated parts is best removed when
the assembly is at room temperature but this can be improved if the
assembly is warmed, using a hair dryer or similar heat source.
When the appliance is equipped with a 24 karat gold-plated door,
you must clean all the fi ngerprints and oils from the gold surface
before fi ring the appliance for the fi rst time. Use a glass cleaner
or vinegar and towel to remove the oils. If not cleaned properly
before lighting your fi rst fi re, the oils can cause permanent mark-
ings on the gold plating. After the gold plating is cured, the oils will
not affect the fi nish and little maintenance is required, just wipe
clean as needed.
