Page 6: Safety Information And Environment
1. Safety Information and Environment • Some appliances have been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a fire screen, sold separately (See in the Wood Insert Installation and Operation Manual if your appliance has this option). The door may be opened, or fire screen removed only during lighting procedures or reloading. -
Page 7: Regulations Covering Insert Installation
• The information given on the certification label affixed to the appliance always overrides the information published, in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines and web sites). • Mixing of appliance components from different sources or modifying components may result in hazardous conditions. -
Page 8: Emissions And Efficiency
Emissions and Efficiency The low smoke emissions produced by the special features inside this insert firebox means that the household will release up to 90% less smoke into the outside environment than if an older conventional insert was used. But there is more to the emission control technologies than protecting the environment. -
Page 9: Fuel
2. Fuel Good firewood has been cut to the correct length for the insert, split to a range of sizes and stacked in an open area until its moisture content is down to 15% to 20%. DO NOT BURN: • GARBAGE; •... -
Page 10: Piece Size
Piece Size Firewood dries more quickly when it is split. Large unsplit rounds can take years to dry enough to burn. Even when dried, unsplit logs are difficult to ignite because they don’t have the sharp edges where the flames first catch. Wood should be split to a range of sizes, from about 3 ″... -
Page 11: Burning Wood Efficiently
Use these guidelines to find out if the firewood is dry enough to burn: − Cracks form at the ends of logs as they dry; − The wood turns from white or cream colored to grey or yellow; − Two pieces of wood struck together sounds hollow; −... -
Page 12: Zone Heating
3.2.2 The Top Down Method This method is the opposite of the conventional method and only works properly if well-seasoned wood is used. 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. -
Page 13: Combustion Cycles
Although the insert may be able to heat the main living areas of the house to an adequate temperature, it is strongly recommended to also have a conventional oil, gas or electric heating system to provide backup heating. The success of zone heating will depend on several factors, including the correct sizing and location of the insert, the size, layout and age of the home and the climate zone. -
Page 14: Rekindling A Fire
Rekindling a Fire When the temperature of the room is lower and all that remains is embers, it is time to reload. Remove excess ash from the front of the firebox and bring the ashes forward. Place a new load of wood on, and at the back of the embers. -
Page 15: Air Intake Control
Air Intake Control Once the firewood, firebox and chimney are hot, air intake can be reduced to achieve a steady burn. As the air intake is reduced, the burn rate decreases. The images shown are for guidance only This has the effect of distributing the thermal energy of and may differ from your product, but the operation remains the same. - Page 16 3.8.2 Low and Long Output Fires 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 17: Maintenance
East-west loads allow a limited amount of wood since too many logs could cause them to fall on the glass. East-west loads, placed in a compact way, take a long time before breaking down. They are excellent for low-intensity, long-lasting fires in relatively mild weather. 3.8.6 Carbon Monoxide When there is no more flame in the firebox and there are still some unburned logs, check outside... -
Page 18: Operating The Insert
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 glass. The goal should be having a clear glass with no brown stains. -
Page 19: Fire Screen
The blower has a variable speed rheostat that can be adjusted from high (HI) to low (LO) and closed (OFF). 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. -
Page 20: Masonry Fireplace Requirements
Establish a routine for the fuel, wood insert and firing technique. Check daily for creosote build-up until experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less creosote is deposited and weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild weather even though monthly cleaning may be enough in the coldest months. -
Page 21: Chimney Caps
Removal of any parts, which render the fireplace unfit for use with solid fuel, requires the fireplace to be permanently labelled by the installer as being no longer suitable for solid fuel, until the removed parts are replaced and the fireplace is restored to its original certified condition. Also, any air vents, grilles, or louvers that allow air circulation around the fireplace must not be removed or blocked. -
Page 22: Suitable Chimneys
In Canada, the CSA-B365 Standard permits «Roxul» type wool to be stuffed around the liner as it passes through the throat area as an alternative to a sheet metal block-off plate. However, this method is less efficient than using a plate. Figure 4 : Block-off Plate Figure 5 : Block-off Plate Suitable Chimneys... -
Page 23: Liner Connection
Liner Connection Two options are possible to connect the liner to the insert: 7.5.1 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 manuals kit, on top of the insert. -
Page 24: Minimum Chimney Height
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 3 ft. (1 m) above the highest point of contact with the roof, and at least 2 ft. -
Page 25: Supply Of Combustion Air
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. - Page 26 Page 26 Wood Inserts – Owner’s Manual...
