  • Page 10: Pre-Installation Requirements

    PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS MASONRY & ZERO CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS The masonry fireplace must meet the minimum code requirements, or NFPA 21.1 or the equivalent for a safe installation. Contact your local Building Inspector for requirements in your area. An inspection of the fireplace should include the following: 1.

  • Page 11: Minimum Masonry Opening, Clearances To Combustibles, And Floor Protector

    6. ADJACENT COMBUSTIBLES: The fireplace should be inspected to make sure that there is adequate clearance to combustibles, both exposed combustibles to the top, side, and front as well as concealed combustibles, in the chimney and mantle area. Your local inspector should have information on whether older fireplaces are of adequate construction.

  • Page 13: Venting Requirements

    VENTING REQUIREMENTS The flue is a critical component to a satisfactory installation. Your insert will attain its best performance if installed with a flue that generates its own draft. The minimum venting requirement will be the installation of a flue connector from the insert into the first tile of the chimney (see Figure 2.3).

  • Page 14: Installation Instructions

    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Inspect the fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary. If the installation of the unit renders the existing damper control inaccessible, it will be necessary to either secure the damper wide open or remove it entirely. An inaccessible damper which may fall shut later could cause smoke to enter the room.
  • Page 15 POSITIONING THE UNIT: The more extended the insert, the greater the heat transfer to the room. When installed as an extended insert, the front edge of the air jacket will be installed flush with the fireplace facing. Otherwise the unit can be moved back as much as 2.5"...
  • Page 16 If lag-bolts and anchors are to be used to secure the insert, the hole locations should be marked with the unit in place. Remove the unit and locate the anchors. Remove the faceplate panels from their box and assemble according to these faceplate instructions: Remove the slide from within the air jacket.
  • Page 17 INSTALLATION ON FACEPLATE: Attach the mitred corners of trim together using the corner brackets. Slide the assembled trim over the edge of the faceplate. See Figures 8 and 9. Attach the left and right sides to the top with corner brackets supplied. Slip the trim over the faceplate and snap the eight faceplate trim clips in place (see Figure 8).
  • Page 18 Push the air control (A) in, all the way. Slide the adjustable faceplate sleeve back into its original location until the faceplate fits tightly against the fireplace facing. See Figure 10. One 7/16" (11mm) open end wrench should be used to turn the nut (B), located above the cooktop in the center, up so that it securely fastens the adjustable faceplate sleeve to the top air jacket.

  • Page 19: Operation

    OPERATION Your heating unit was designed to burn wood only; no other materials should be burnt. Wastes and other flammable materials should not be burnt in your wood insert. Any type of wood may be used in your insert, but specific varieties have better energy yields than others.

  • Page 20: Testing Your Wood

    TESTING YOUR WOOD When the insert is thoroughly warmed, place one piece of split wood (about five inches in diameter) parallel to the door on the bed of red embers. Keep the air control full open by pulling on it and close the door. If ignition of the piece is accomplished within 90 seconds from the time if was placed in the insert, your wood is correctly dried.

  • Page 21: Heating

    If you move it completely to the left, it is fully close. Your OSBURN insert burnt between .979 kg\h and 4.4 kg\h. of wood during EPA testing. Real operating conditions may give very different results than those obtained in the lab according to the species of wood used, its moisture content, the size and density of the pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature.

  • Page 22: Creosote Formation And Need For Removal

    CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.

  • Page 23: Maintenance

    Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the insert if the glass is broken. • If the glass on your insert breaks, replace only with glazing supplied from the OSBURN dealer.
