  • Page 12: Zone Heating

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 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.

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 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%. MATERIALS THAT SHOULD NOT BE BURNED - GARBAGE;...

  • Page 14: Log Length

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 Log Length Logs should be cut at least 1" (25 mm) shorter than the firebox so they fit in easily. Pieces that are even slightly too long makes loading the insert very difficult. The most common standard length of firewood is 16" (400 mm). Piece Size Firewood dries more quickly when it is split.

  • Page 15: Operating The Insert

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 − Hardwoods like oak, maple and ash can take one, or even two years to dry fully, especially if the pieces are big; − Firewood dries more quickly when stacked outside in a location exposed to sun and wind; it takes much longer to dry when stacked in a wood shed;...

  • Page 16: Cold Hand

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 Cold Hand The cold hand is a handle, supplied with the insert. It allows to open the door and avoid burns. To open, insert the cold hand into the opening on the right side of the insert. Pull on the cold hand to open the door.

  • Page 17: Burning Wood Efficiently

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 Allow the insert to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour) before turning on the blower, since increased airflow from the blower will remove heat and affect the start up combustion efficiency. The blower is equipped with a heat sensor. Therefore, the switch can be left in the automatic position (A).
  • Page 18 www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 Here are three popular and effective ways to ignite wood fires. 5.2.1 Conventional Method The conventional method to build a wood fire is to crumple 5 to 10 sheets of newspaper and place them in the firebox and hold them in place with ten pieces of kindling wood. The kindling should be placed on and behind the newspaper.

  • Page 19: Combustion Cycles

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 Combustion Cycles Wood heating with a space heater is very different than other forms of heating. There will be temperature variations in different parts of the house and there will be temperature variations throughout day and night. This is normal, and for experienced wood burners these are advantages of zone heating woodburning.

  • Page 20: Removing Ashes

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 The insert should not be left unattended during ignition and the fire should not burn at full intensity for more than a few minutes. When lighting a new load, the appliance produces a heat surge. This heat surge is pleasant when the room temperature is cool but can be unpleasant when the room is already warm.

  • Page 21: Fire Types

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 Fire Types Using the air intake control is not the only way to match the insert heat output to the desired temperature in the house. A house will need far less heating in October than in January to maintain a comfortable temperature.

If the paint is scratched or damaged, it is possible to repaint the insert with a heat-resistant paint. Do not clean or paint the insert when it is hot.
  • Page 24 www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 6.2.2 Replacement The glass used is a ceramic glass, 4 mm thick with a dimension of 24 13/16" X 18 ½" (63 cm X 47 cm) tested to reach temperatures up to 1400º F. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with one having the same specification.

To increase the pressure on the gasket, remove as much washers (C) as necessary.
  • Page 27 www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 The door angle can also be adjusted by unscrewing the nuts (F) and sliding the bracket (G) towards the left or the right. Figure 19: Door angle adjustment 6.3.2 Gasket It is important to replace the gasket with another having the same diameter and density to maintain a good seal.

  • Page 28: Exhaust System

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 Exhaust System Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney, forming a inflammable deposit called creosote. If creosote builds up in the system, it can ignite when a hot fire is burned in the insert. A very hot fire can progress to the top of the chimney. Severe chimney fires can damage even the best chimneys.

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 • DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. • The insert and its stainless steel chimney liner are to be installed only within a lined masonry chimney and masonry fireplace conforming to building codes for use with solid fuel. Do not remove bricks or mortar from the existing fireplace when installing the insert.

  • Page 31: Clearances To Combustible Material

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 9. Clearances to Combustible Material The clearances shown in this section have been determined by tests according to procedures set out in safety standards ULC S628 (Canada), UL1482 (U.S.A.) and UL737 (U.S.A.). When the insert is installed so that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances specified, combustible surfaces will not overheat under normal and even abnormal operating conditions.

  • Page 32: Floor Protection

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 Floor Protection It is necessary to have a floor protection made of non-combustible materials that meets the measurements specified in the «Table 3 : Floor Protection» below. Table 3 : Floor Protection FLOOR PROTECTION Canada 18" (457 mm) 16"...

The connection to a chimney having a diameter of at least 5" (Canada only) is permitted if it allows the proper venting of combustion gases and that such application is verified and authorized by a qualified installer.

  • Page 37: Liner Connection

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 10.5 Liner Connection Two options are possible to connect the liner to the insert: 10.5.1 Liner Starter Adaptor Install the chimney liner starter adapter, provided with the chimney liner. Follow the chimney liner starter adapter manufacturer’s instructions. In order to connect the chimney liner starter adapter to the flue outlet, install three brackets with the three screws, all provided in the user manual, on top of the insert.

  • Page 38: Minimum Chimney Height

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 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. This kind of adaptor is restricting the free flow of exhaust gases and may result in smoke roll- out from the insert when the door is open for reloading.

  • Page 39: Supply Of Combustion Air

    www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 When it is cold outside, the warm air in the house is buoyant so it tends to rise. This creates a slight pressure difference in the house. Called ‘stack effect’, it produces a slightly negative pressure in the lower part of the house (compared to the outside) and a slightly positive pressure zone in the high part of the house.
  • Page 40 www.northlineexpress.com 1-877-734-2458 Figure 35: Air supply in conventional houses If an air intake is installed through the wall of the house, its pressure can vary during windy weather. If there are changes in wood insert performance in windy weather, and in particular if smoke puffs from the insert, the air duct should be disconnected from the insert to determine if it is the cause of the problem.
