IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Carefully follow all instructions. Improper installation of this fireplace and chimney system could result in a house fire. Detailed explanations are in the sections which follow. For information about local building code requirements or the need for a permit, contact your local municipal jurisdiction or fire department.
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS Before beginning, we strongly recommend adequate planning of your installation, including the chimney and the hearth protection. Refer to Figure 1 for an installation overview including critical components and warnings. The planning process may involve your retail salesperson, installation personnel, outside contractors and local building officials.

The RUMFORD 1000 weighs 740 lb crated. The RUMFORD 1000 fireplace is front heavy. To safely ship and transport the RUMFORD 1000, we have taken various parts from the front of the fireplace and attach them to the back of the crate rendering the overall crate rather well- balanced.
ENGAGING THE GUILLOTINE SYSTEM OUNTERWEIGHTS NSTALLATION Openings A and C allow the insertion of the counterweights. The openings will be covered by cement board and do not have finishing metal cover plates. x3 counterweight cables Left pulley Right back pulley Right front pulley Start by placing the three counterweight cables through the openings A and C, and over the pulleys.
Page 16
Connect the three cables to the three counterweights and tighten the nuts that hold them in place. Connect the hanging cables to the bottom of the door left and right, and to the bottom of the firescreen at the front right. Using pliers, remove the caps on the back side of each blocking rod.
IRESCREEN Try moving the firescreen up and down slowly while looking at the cable and the pulley on the right. Make sure the firescreen cable can move freely and centered over its pulley in a straight line. If needed, realign the pulley. If you do so, do not forget to tighten the pulley's nut and bolt without over tightening.
2" wood screws. MANDATORY - FIREBOX LINING OPTIONS (ONE CHOICE REQUIRED) The RUMFORD 1000 has two options for the bricks that line the interior of the firebox. One of the two options MUST be installed. Vermiculite panels with a herringbone brick pattern (EO-VP1000). This choice offers the cleanest burning fireplace on the market and a very classic herringbone look.
MANDATORY – ANTI-TIP BRACKETS The RUMFORD 1000 fireplace MUST be securely fastened to the back wall. One anti-tip bracket has been provided. It is attached to the top of the fireplace. The bracket can be removed and repositioned as needed to ensure it aligns with the framing (see Figure 7). The anti-tip bracket MUST be attached to the top of the fireplace.
ABLE CEILING HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS Using the components included with the RUMFORD 1000, the minimum ceiling height measured from the base of the fireplace to the ceiling is 8'. This requirement applies to ALL ceilings above the fireplace (room ceiling, enclosure ceiling).
Page 21
ABLE IREPLACE LEARANCES Distance to combustible material from side, back and top standoffs. 0" 0 mm Minimum distance from the guillotine bay opening to a side wall. 24" 610 mm Minimum ceiling height: measured from the base of the fireplace to the lowest point of the ceiling above the fireplace.
Refer to the "Mantel" section on page 31 for details. HEARTH EXTENSION REQUIREMENTS The minimum size of a non-combustible hearth extension for the RUMFORD 1000 is 45" wide by 24" deep centered in front of the fireplace glass door opening.

OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE The use of outside air is not required unless specified by local building codes. The fireplace only accepts outside air on the left side of the fireplace and comes standard with a 4" connection collar on the fireplace. For outside air runs of 10' or less, the Renaissance FO-INT outside air kit is recommended.
CHIMNEY For the best chimney performance, we recommend an interior chimney installation over an exterior chimney installation. In climates with temperatures below 32°F (0°C) the use of an exterior chimney may adversely affect how the fire burns and how well smoke is vented through the chimney.
OFFSETTING THE CHIMNEY Use an elbow to offset the chimney to avoid cutting the roof and/or floor joists. An elbow may be installed directly on top of the fireplace. Use the RIS 10" offset chart (see Table 7) to correctly offset the chimney. An offset requires additional chimney support in the form of an offset support or wall support to prevent the chimney from leaning.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION Cut and frame the required holes in the floor(s), ceiling(s) and roof where the chimney will pass through. The rough opening in the framing is 16" square (the opening can be slightly bigger, up to 16 ½", but NEVER smaller). THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE CHIMNEY AND COMBUSTIBLES MUST BE 2"...
FINISHING LINTEL INSTALLATION Lintels are installed on the fireplace to easily finish the border of the front opening. These lintels protrude past the front of the fireplace by 1 ¼" allowing ½" for the cement board panels that must cover the front and ¾" for your non-combustible finishing materials. If thicker lintels are required, you can use these lintels as a template to have custom lintels made.
SCREWS ALLOWED NO SCREWS SCREWS ALLOWED (grey) areas: Screws can penetrate the fireplace facing at these locations by no more than ½". If using one ½" sheet of cement board, 1" long screws are the maximum length permitted. Longer screws may damage the guillotine system. NO SCREWS (white) areas: Do not screw into this area with any length or type of screw.
MANDATORY - FIREBOX LINING INSTALLATION The firebox lining installation instructions for the RUMFORD 1000 fireplace is packaged separately from the fireplace. You must make sure that all is properly installed inside the firebox before making your first fire. This is easily accomplished by following the instructions provided with the lining option you have chosen: •...

GLASS CLEANING If the glass needs cleaning after installation is complete, use a glass cleaner specifically formulated for wood stove ceramic glass. Do not use an abrasive cleaner and do not clean the glass while it is hot.
