  • Page 15: Zone Heating And How To Make It Work For You

    2.5 Zone Heating and How to make it work for you Your new WATERLOO wood fireplace 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 16: What Is Your New Fireplace Made Of

    2.7.1 What is Your New Fireplace Made Of? The body of your fireplace, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel. Should it ever become necessary many years in the future, almost the entire fireplace can be recycled into new products, thus eliminating the need to mine new materials.

  • Page 17: Tree Species

    3.1.2 Tree Species The tree species the firewood is produced from is less important than its moisture content. The main difference in firewood from various tree species is the density of the wood. Hardwoods are denser than softwoods. People who live in the coldest regions of North America usually have only spruce, birch and poplar, other low-density species to burn and yet they can heat their homes successfully.

  • Page 18: How To Dry Firewood

    3.1.5 How to Dry Firewood Firewood that is not dry enough to burn is the cause of most complaints about wood fireplaces. Continually burning green or unseasoned wood produces more creosote and involves lack of heat and dirty glass door. See Section 5: Maintaining your wood heating system for concerns about creosote.

  • Page 19: Manufactured Logs

    You could buy a wood moisture meter to test your firewood. 3.2 Manufactured Logs Manufactured logs made of 100% wood residues can be burn in your fireplace. However, they must be used carefully. Therefore, you cannot place a large quantity of such logs into your fireplace. Manufactured logs typically release a much larger heat output over a short period of time.

  • Page 20: Operating Your Fireplace

    4 OPERATING YOUR FIREPLACE 4.1 Your First Fires Two things will happen as you burn your first few fires: the paint cures and the internal components of the fireplace are conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they do smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also cause false alarms in smoke detectors.

  • Page 21: Two Parallel Logs

    DO NOT LEAVE THE FIREPLACE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPENED. ALWAYS CLOSE AND LATCH THE DOOR AFTER THE FIRE IGNITES. After the kindling fire has mostly burned, you can add standard firewood pieces until you have a fire of the right size for the conditions.

  • Page 22: Ash Removal

    4.3.2 Ash Removal Ash should be removed from the firebox every two or three days of full time heating. Do not let the ash build up in the firebox because it will interfere with proper fire management. The best time to remove ash is after an overnight fire when the fireplace is relatively cool, but there is still some chimney draft to draw the ash dust into the fireplace and prevent it from coming into the room.

  • Page 23: Shutting Down The Air Supply

    4.3.5 Shutting Down the Air Supply The fireplace can operate at three different settings: Maximum combustion rate, medium combustion rate and finally low combustion rate. At the low combustion rate setting, the fireplace is operated with an air control system that regulates the combustion. The maximum combustion rate setting is usually for cold startup and when maximum heat is desired (Position A).
  • Page 24 In the B position, it is also possible to close the air supply manually if a power failure occurs by pushing the small lever to the left. FP15 & FP15A Waterloo - Installation and Operation Manual...

  • Page 25: Building Different Fires For Different Needs

    4.3.6 Building Different Fires for Different Needs Using the air control is not the only way to match the fireplace’s heat output to the heat demand. Your house will need far less heat in October than in January to be kept at a comfortable temperature. If you fill the firebox full in fall weather, you will either overheat the space or turn the fireplace down so much that the fire will be smoky and inefficient.
  • Page 26 The table below provides a very general indication of the maximum burn cycle times you are likely to experience, based on firebox volume. FIREBOX VOLUME MAXIMUM BURN TIME <1.5 cubic feet 3 to 5 hours 1.5 c.f. to 2.0 c.f. 5 to 6 hours 2.0 c.f.

  • Page 27: Maintaining Your Wood Heating System

    5 MAINTAINING YOUR WOOD HEATING SYSTEM 5.1 Fireplace Maintenance Your new fireplace will give many years of reliable service if you use and maintain it correctly. Some of the internal components of the firebox, such as refractory slabs, baffles and air tubes, will wear over time under intense heat.

  • Page 28: Door Adjustment

    5.1.3 Door Adjustment In order for your fireplace to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically to check for a good seal. The gasket seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment.

  • Page 29: Door Alignment

    5.1.4 Door Alignment To align, open the fireplace’s door and loosen the pressures screws located on the lower and upper hinges of the door using a 3/32” Allen key to free the adjustable hinge rods. Using a flat screwdriver, turn the adjustable hinge rods in the direction shown to adjust the doors. Tighten all door hinge pressure screws when they are at the desired positions.

To change the glass, perform the same operation described above. 5.1.7 Cleaning and Painting the Fireplace Do not attempt to clean or paint the fireplace when the unit is hot.

  • Page 33: Cleaning The Chimney

    It is recommended to clean thoroughly the chimney system at the end of every heating season. During summer, the air is damper and with minimal air circulation within the stove or furnace, it can mix with creosote and/or sooth deposits in the chimney system to form an acid that could accelerate the corrosion process and induce premature decay of the steel.

  • Page 34: Fire Baffle Removal Prior To Cleaning The Chimney

    CAUTION OPERATION OF YOUR WATERLOO WITHOUT THE BAFFLE MAY CAUSE UNSAFE AND HAZARDOUS TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. 5.2.4 Fire Baffle Removal Prior to Cleaning the Chimney Before starting to clean your chimney, we recommend that you remove the fire baffle to avoid creosote dust collection on top of the baffle.

    6.2 Regulations Covering Fireplace Installation When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the WATERLOO wood fireplace is suitable for use in residential installations. In Canada, the CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment and the CSA C22.1 Canadian National Electrical Code are to be followed in the absence of local code requirements.

  • Page 37: Transportation Packaging

    6.3.2 Transportation Packaging To facilitate transportation of the WATERLOO fireplace before installation, we have designed a transportation packaging that allows reducing the weight. The fireplace refractory panels are in a box you can carry separately. We suggest you install the refractory panels after the setting up of the fireplace. To install the refractory panels, see APPENDIX 5 - Refractory Slabs R.

  • Page 51: The Venting System

    7 THE VENTING SYSTEM 7.1 General The venting system, acts as the engine that drives your wood heating system. Even the best fireplace will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable chimney. The heat in the flue gases that pass from the fireplace into the chimney is not waste heat.

  • Page 52: Chimney Installation Notes

    There are two reasons why the chimney in the house at right will cold backdraft when it is cold outside and there is no fire burning in the fireplace. First, the chimney runs up the outside of the house, so the air in it is colder and denser than the warm air in the house.
  • Page 53 • Portions of the chimney which may extend through accessible spaces must be enclosed to avoid contact with combustible materials or damage the chimney. • For installations where more than one chimney is located in the same non-chase or within the same area, we suggest that their terminations be separated by at least 16"...

  • Page 68: Appendix 4 - Installing The Fresh Air Intake Kit

    APPENDIX 4 - INSTALLING THE FRESH AIR INTAKE KIT During operation, the fireplace requires fresh air for combustion and draws air out of the house. It may starve other fuel burning appliances such as gas or oil furnaces. As well, exhaust fans may compete for air, causing negative pressure in the house, resulting in smoke entering the house from the fireplace.
