The body of this insert, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel.

  • Page 12: Zone Heating

    Zone Heating This insert is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area it is installed in, as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature. This is called zone heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces within homes.

  • Page 13: Fuel

    3. Fuel Good firewood has been cut to the correct length for the insert, split to a range of sizes and stacked in the open until its moisture content is down to 15% to 20%. DO NOT BURN: - GARBAGE OF ANY KIND, - COAL OR CHARCOAL, - TREATED, PAINTED OR COATED WOOD, - PLYWOOD OR PARTICLE BOARD,...

  • Page 14: Compressed Wood Logs

    Compressed Wood Logs Compressed wood logs made of 100% compressed sawdust can be burned with caution in the number of these logs burned at once. Do not burn compressed logs made of wax impregnated sawdust or logs with any chemical additives. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and warnings.

  • Page 15: Operating The Insert

    4. Operating the Insert Before using the insert, the following steps should be followed: • Install the faceplate (See «Appendix 1. Faceplate Installation») • Plug in the blower power cord. The sleeve (A) and the power cord (B) can be found in the owner’s manual kit.

  • Page 16: Blower Operation

    Blower Operation A blower is already installed on this insert. It is located behind the bottom louver of the insert. Its function is to increase airflow through the heat exchanger and improve hot air circulation in the room. When used regularly, the blower can provide a small increase in efficiency, up to 2%.

  • Page 17: Burning Wood Efficiently

    5. Burning Wood Efficiently First Use Two things happen when burning the first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components of the insert are conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they smell bad. When lighting the insert for the first few times, be prepared by opening doors or windows to ventilate the house.

  • Page 18: Combustion Cycles

    Place three or four small, split, dry logs in the firebox. Arrange the kindling wood on the logs in two layers at right angles and place a dozen finely split kindling on the second row. It is possible to use ragged paper but it may not hold in place since it tends to roll while it is burning. The best is to wrap a sheet on itself, grab the ends of the roll and make a knot.

  • Page 19: Rekindling A Fire

    Burning in cycles means the insert door does not need to be opened while the wood is flaming. This is an advantage since it is preventing smoke leaking from the insert when the door is opened as a full fire is burning. This is especially true if the chimney is on the outside wall of the house.

  • Page 20: Air Intake Control

    If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be kept in a closed metal container until they are completely cooled. No other waste should be placed in this container. NEVER STORE ASHES INDOORS OR IN A NON-METALLIC CONTAINER OR ON A WOODEN DECK.
  • Page 21 5.7.2 Long Lasting Fire For a fire that will last up to eight hours but will not produce intense heat, use soft wood and place the logs compactly in the firebox. Before reducing the air intake, the load will have to burn at full heat for long enough for charring the surface of the logs.

  • Page 22: Maintenance

    5.7.5 Logs Orientation In a relatively square firebox, the wood can be loaded north-south (ends of the logs visible) or east-west (sides of the logs visible). North-south loads allow more wood to be loaded at the same time. On the other hand, they break into smaller pieces faster.
  • Page 23 The deposits that form on the glass are the best indication of the fuel quality and success in properly using the insert. These stains can be cleaned with a special wood insert glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive products to clean the insert glass. The goal should be having a clear glass with no brown stains.
  • Page 24 6.2.3 Gasket It is a good idea to replace the glass gasket when the door gasket is being replaced. The new gasket is flat, adhesive-backed and made of woven fibreglass. Remove the glass following the first three steps of the «Replacement» section. Remove the old gasket and clean the glass thoroughly.

  • Page 25: Door

    Door In order for the insert to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox. The tightness of the door seal can be verified by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper.
  • Page 26 It is also possible to fix the handle angle by adjusting the door latch mechanism, located on the right hand side opening of the insert. Unscrew the nuts (D) and lift the door latch mechanism (E) to increase the pressure on the door.

  • Page 27: Exhaust System

    6.3.2 Gasket It is important to replace the gasket with another having the same diameter and density to maintain a good seal. Remove the door and place it face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or a piece of carpet. Remove the old gasket from the door.
  • Page 28 The chimney should be checked regularly for creosote build-up. Inspection and cleaning of the chimney can be facilitated by removing the baffle. See «Appendix 4. Air Tubes and Baffle Installation» for more details. 6.4.3 Chimney Fire Regular chimney maintenance and inspection can prevent chimney fires. If you have a chimney fire, follow these steps: Close the insert door and the air intake control;...

    PART B - INSTALLATION 7. Masonry Fireplace Requirements The masonry fireplace must meet the minimum requirements found in the building code enforced locally, or the equivalent, for a safe installation. Contact the local building inspector for requirements in the area. An inspection of the fireplace should include the following: Condition of the fireplace and chimney •...

  • Page 30: Safety Information And Standards

    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. The local inspector should have information on whether older fireplaces are of adequate construction.

  • Page 31: Certification Label

    Certification Label Since the information given on the certification label attached to the appliance always overrides the information published in any other media, it is important to refer to it to have a safe and compliant installation. The model and the serial number can also be found on the label. The certification label is usually located on the side of the insert, towards the front.

  • Page 34 9.2.3 R Value There are two ways to calculate the R-value of the floor protection. First, by adding the R-values of materials used, or by the conversion if the K factor and thickness of the floor protection are given. To calculate the total R value from R values of the materials used, simply add the R-values of materials. If the result is equal to or greater than the R-value requirements, the combination is acceptable.

  • Page 36: The Venting System

    The Venting System 10.1 General The venting system, made of the chimney and the liner inside the chimney, acts as the engine that drives the wood heating system. Even the best insert will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable chimney and liner system. The heat in the flue gases that pass from the insert into the chimney is not waste heat.

  • Page 37: Chimney Liner Installation

    10.4 Chimney Liner Installation The use of a chimney liner (rigid or flexible) is recommended RAIN CAP to ensure the best performance. To ensure an optimal draft, it is also strongly recommend adding a minimum of RIGID LINER 12" FLASHING 305mm MIN.
  • Page 38 The dealer may offer a liner fastening system, sold separately. Follow the installation instructions provided with the liner fastening system. Figure 31: Liner fastening system 10.5.2 Liner Offset Adapter A liner offset adapter, sold separately, can also be installed. This should only be installed if no other option is possible and if the total height of the fireplace and chimney is at least 20 feet.

  • Page 39: Minimum Chimney Height

    10.6 Minimum Chimney Height The top of the chimney should be tall enough to be above the air turbulence caused when wind blows against the house and its roof. The chimney must extend at least 1 m (3 ft.) above the highest point of contact with the roof, and at least 60 cm (2 ft.) higher than any roof line or obstacle within a horizontal distance of 3 m (10 ft.).

  • Page 40: Supply Of Combustion Air

    10.8 Supply of Combustion Air In Canada, wood inserts are not required to have a combustion air supply from outside. Research has shown that outside air supply do not compensate for the depressurization of the house and may not be sufficient to provide a supply of combustion air in windy weather. However, to reduce the risks against smoke spillage due to house depressurization, a carbon monoxide (CO) detector is required in the room where the insert is installed.
