IREPLACE The LINEAR 50 fireplace is a decorative fireplace that provides a magnificent view of the fire. It is defined as a fireplace (primarily for aesthetics) under the 2015 EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) regulation since it offers more than 500 square inches of pure fire viewing (710 square inches are visible).
DO NOT BURN DRIFTWOOD, TREATED WOOD, COAL, GARBAGE, OR PLASTIC. EVER TO Never use flammable liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluids to start or refresh a fire in the LINEAR 50. Never burn driftwood, treated wood, coal, garbage, or plastic.
UTSIDE ONTROL The LINEAR 50 is designed to use outside air for combustion. The control for the outside air is located on the left side beyond the door rail, approximately half way up (see Figure 2). You need to fully open the glass door and the firescreen to have access to the outside air control.
Always start by opening the chimney damper. There are a number of ways to arrange your firewood to build a fire in your LINEAR 50. Always build and maintain the fire well behind the ash step refractory bricks, never against or close to the glass door or the firescreen. In all cases, you want to start with a number of pieces of easily lit material, such as newspaper.
CONTROLLING THE FIRE The LINEAR 50 fireplace is designed to provide warm radiant heat. Although it does not come with a draft control, you will find that you can control the intensity of the fire and the quantity of flames quite well by varying the size and placement of the logs. Burning with the glass door or the firescreen closed will also affect heat transfer.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. AINT You can touch up the metal areas of the face of the LINEAR 50 with Stove Bright Metallic Black high temperature paint which is available at most fireplace dealers. Follow the directions outlined on the spray can.
(regular grease will not withstand the heat of the fireplace) on each guide rail (left and right) just below the bottom of the door and move your door up and down a couple of times to distribute the grease all over the guide rails. Repeat for the firescreen. You can purchase additional high temperature grease from your Renaissance dealer. WARNING: DO NOT USE TEFLON-BASED OR SILICON-BASED PRODUCTS SUCH AS JIG-A-LOO BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO BE USED IN A HIGH TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENT.
This gasket will rarely need to be changed but it may require some adjustment. Please see your Renaissance dealer on this subject. 4. There is a stainless steel gasket that seals the bottom...
CHIMNEY CLEANING A fireplace as clean burning as the LINEAR 50 does not produce a lot of creosote, but the chimney should nevertheless be inspected for creosote buildup after a couple of months of using it. This will allow you to visualize the amount of creosote that is accumulating and adjust the frequency of checking the chimney accordingly.
