Regulations Covering Fireplace Installation

When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the FP7CB Antoinette wood
fireplace is suitable for use as a fireplace appliance 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. In the USA, the NFPA 211 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and
Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances and the ANSI NFPA 70 National Electrical Code are to be
followed in the absence of local code requirements.
We recommend that our woodburning hearth products be installed and serviced by professionals
who are certified by a "Qualified Agency" such as NFI (National Fireplace Institute®) or CSIA
(Chimney Safety Institute of America) in the United States, in Canada by WETT (Wood Energy
Technical Training) or in Quebec by APC (Association des Professionnels du Chauffage).

2.2 The Benefits of EPA Voluntary Emission Program «Low Mass» Phase II
In the past, most conventional masonry and low-mass, factory-built fireplaces were not efficient
at producing usable heat. Typically, over 90 percent of the heat generated by a fireplace was
lost out the chimney. In addition, many of these fireplaces were sources of smoke, indoors and
out.
In 2009, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) initiated a voluntary program for
manufacturers of decorative wood burning fireplaces to encourage manufacturers to produce
clean wood-burning appliances that reduce air pollution. Under the U.S. EPA Low Mass
Fireplace Voluntary Program, cleaner burning fireplaces are ones that qualify for the Phase I
emission levels of 7.3 g/kg (approximately 57 percent cleaner than unqualified models) or the
Phase II emission levels of 5.1 g/kg (approximately 70 percent cleaner than unqualified models).
Participating manufacturers are expected to qualify under Phase 2 by 2013. The FP7CB
Antoinette wood fireplace is a phase II emission level qualified model that brings you the benefits
of lower emissions.
