1. SAFETY SUPREME FIREPLACES INC. congratulates you on purchasing a FUSION wood burning fireplace insert. This insert complies with the ULC S628 and UL 1482 standards. In addition, this wood insert is certified to comply with Phase II particulate emission standards from the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Combustion Air Control The Combustion Air Control is a patented mechanism (Patent No: US 7,325,541 B2) that regulates the air flow into the firebox based on the temperature of the unit. It is located on the top of the firebox, at the front center of the unit (see Figure 5).
The FUSION wood burning insert is available in three different sizes. Refer to Figure 10 for the dimensions of the different surrounds available. Figure 10: Surround Size Options - Small, Medium, and Large (Left to Right) NOTE: SUPREME FIREPLACES INC. reserves the right to alter the dimensions of the surrounds without prior notice.
2.10 Adjustable Circulating Chamber The adjustable circulating chamber (patent pending: GB1305647.8) is a standard component of the FUSION insert (Figure 11). It is designed to prevent heat escaping from the existing chimney and allows for an optimal flow and heat transfer. The width is adjustable from 32”...
CAUTION: Read these instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, bodily harm and even death. Modifications of the instructions presented in this section without written authorization from SUPREME FIREPLACES INC. will void the warranty.
3.1. Preparing the Firebox for Installation a) Remove the door by opening it, lifting it, and pulling it towards the bottom until the rod exits from the hinge holes (see Section 2.6). b) Install the adjustable legs (see Section 2.11). The adjustable legs must extend 1 ¼ inch from the bottom of the firebox.
viii. Adjust the position of the circulating chamber in order to have a distance of 10.5 inches from the face of the liner to the face of the existing fireplace (see Figure 20). Tighten the wing nuts of the adjustable liner hole. NOTE: If the width and/or the height of the existing fireplace is larger than the maximal width and/or height of the adjustable circulating chamber, extend the width and/or height of the Circulating Chamber to the maximum and fill the space with Stone Wool.
Figure 22: Electric Wiring Diagram 3.7. Surround Installation a) Install the surround and secure it with four screws, two on either side. b) Install the door by inserting the upper rod into the upper hole and then lowering the lower rod into the lower hole.
3.9. Clearances to Combustibles Refer to Figure 22 and Table 2 for the minimum clearance to combustibles: Table 2: Clearances to Combustibles Sidewall from outer edge of 15.5” (394mm) fuel door Side trim from outer edge of 7.5” (190.5mm) fuel door Top trim from top edge of 13.75”...
4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 4.1. Fuel The FUSION is designed to burn dry, natural, seasoned wood having a moisture content below 20%. The optimum log length is 16-18 inches, preferably split in halves or quarters and left to dry under a cover or away from external elements for a minimum of one year prior to use.
NOTE: The Burn Rate Selector can remain at the same setting at all times if the burn rate is satisfactory. However, the Activator must be pushed in when starting a fire or when adding a new load of wood. WARNING: The combustion air openings should never be obstructed. WARNING: Never manipulate the Combustion Air Control with bare hands as it gets hot when the FUSION is in operation.
FUSION insert. The intense heat from the next combustion cycle cleans the grill and the unit of any cooking residue. DISCLAIMER: SUPREME FIREPLACES INC. is not responsible for the quality nor the outcome of the food cooked in the FUSION.
4.7. Fan Operation A fan kit is preinstalled in the FUSION fireplace insert. It includes two blowers mounted at the bottom on either side of the firebox and a heat sensory thermodisk. An optional variable speed control can be installed to adjust the speed of the fans. Do not install a substitute kit as this may result in overheating and risk of fire.
TROUBLESHOOTING 5.1. Smoking Draft is created by the difference in pressure between the flue of the insert and the top of the chimney. Proper draft results in an upwards flow through chimney, which prevents smoke infiltrating into the house during operation of the unit. As the temperature of the unit and chimney rises during combustion, the draft consequently increases due to a higher difference in pressure.
6. MAINTENANCE Disposal of Ashes Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial on soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
Replacement of Glass SUPREME FIREPLACES INC. uses a high quality 5mm thick Pyroceram III / Keralite ceramic glass that can withstand temperatures up to 1300 F. It is recommended to perform a weekly visual check for any damages or cracks on the glass.
d) Using a wedging tool or flat head screwdriver, gently remove the ¾” gasket (along with the silicone) from the door framing. e) Using a wrench, remove the 8 nuts fastened around the door framing. f) Remove the first row of metal brackets (2 small and 2 big) and thin gasket. g) Remove the damage glass and clean thoroughly the door framing from loose glass fragments.
SUPREME FIREPLACES INC. assume responsibility for them. EXCLUSIONS: SUPREME FIREPLACES INC. shall not be responsible for any labor costs for the replacement or repair of any electrical components, painted/plated parts, secondary air burning system, and the combustion air control.
