The SWB400I fireplace is an insulated radiant wood burning fireplace with a 36-inch wide
front opening. It comes complete with an interior damper to prevent heat loss when not in
use, and it has fire screens for safe use. The SWB400I fireplace may be installed in residential
and manufactured type homes as explained by this instruction manual. The SWB400I installs
with S-series chimney system components and is designed to utilize the MGD36-series of
glass doors. The SWB400I can be converted to a louvered circulating unit by utilizing the
MLK36 louver kit, and can utilize the FA2 fan once the fireplace has been converted to a
louvered circulating unit. Natural gas or LP gas log sets may be installed in the SWB400I
fireplace if desired, as allowed by local code authorities.

Avoid a location where the chimney cap will be near abrupt changes in the roof shape, nearby wall or embankments, under or near trees or above the roof of a single story wing of a two story building as shown by Figure 8. - Page 9 NSTALLATION REPARATION IGURE SINGLE STORY INSTALLATION WITH ATTIC SPACE SC CHIMNEY CAP FLUE OUTLET HEIGHT STORM COLLAR (INCLUDED WITH CAP) FLASHING (612 OR 1212) ATTIC SPACE SEE TABLE 1 FOR ROOF OPENING SIZE SF FIRESTOP SPACER 16 FT.

LOOR ROTECTION If this fireplace is installed on a combustible floor, the floor area 16 inches in front of, and 8 inches either side of the fireplace opening must be protected by an insulating noncombustible hearth extension. This hearth extension may be either minimum 6-inch thick stone or brick as shown by Figure 10, a H1652 Hearth Extension Kit or a locally constructed hearth equivalent to the H1652. - Page 11 LOOR ROTECTION The ability of insulating material to retard the transfer of heat may be expressed as either Thermal Conduc- tance (C), Thermal Conductivity (K), or Thermal Resistance (R). The mathematical relationship of these values and the formulas for converting one value to another is as follows: C = K divided by the material thickness (Example C = .43 divided by 1/2 (.50) C = .86)

Page 31: Maintenance And Safety
Make sure the chimney is clear from any accumulation of soot, creosote or any other debris, and that all joints are intact. Monessen Hearth Systems does not recommend chemical cleaners because some may contain elements that corrode the metal parts of the chimney or fireplace. - Page 32 This is normal and unavoidable. If the cracks become large enough or parts dislodge and metal behind the refractory is exposed, the refractory panels should be replaced with new panels that can be obtained from your Monessen Hearth Systems fireplace dealer. See Figure 34. LASS AINTENANCE For glass door maintenance, see instructions provided with the glass doors.
- Page 33 25. Don’t clean the chimney with metallic devices or chemical cleaners. 26. Don’t use the fireplace or chimney for venting wood or coal burning heaters or inserts unless approved in writing by Monessen Hearth Systems . 27. Don’t put combustibles within 24 inches of the fireplace opening.
