  • Page 14: Log Length

    3.2.3 Log Length Logs should be cut at least 1” (25 mm) shorter than the firebox so they fit in easily. It is very difficult to load the fire with logs that are just a little too long. The most common standard length of firewood is 16” (400 mm).

  • Page 15: How To Dry Firewood

    3.2.5 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.

    4 OPERATING YOUR FIREPLACE 4.1 Operation of the retractable doors To take full advantage of the atmosphere of the fire in your fireplace and view of the fire with the firescreen, the HE200 is equipped with easy to use retractable doors. 4.2 The Use of a Firescreen This fireplace has been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a firescreen (VA8420, sold separately).

  • Page 18: Lighting Fires

    4.4 Lighting Fires Each person who heats with wood develops their own favorite way to light fires. Whatever method you choose, your goal should be to get a hot fire burning quickly. A fire that starts fast produces less smoke and deposits less creosote in the chimney.

  • Page 19: Two Parallel Logs

    4.4.3 Two Parallel Logs Place two spit logs in the firebox. Place a few sheets of twisted newspaper between the logs. Now place some fine kindling across the two logs and some larger kindling across those, log cabin style. Light the newspaper.

  • Page 20: Ash Removal

    4.5.2 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 21: Turning Down The Air Supply

    4.5.5 Turning Down the Air Supply Once the firewood, firebox and chimney are hot, you can begin to reduce the air supply for a steady burn. As you reduce the air supply to the fire, two important things happen. First, the firing rate slows down to spread the heat energy in the fuel over a longer period of time.
  • Page 22 4.5.6.1 Small Fires to Take the Chill Off the House To build a small fire that will produce a low heat output, use small pieces of firewood and load them crisscross in the firebox. The pieces should be only 3” to 4” in diameter. After raking the coals, you can lay two pieces parallel to each other corner to corner in the firebox and lay two more across them in the other direction.
  • Page 23 The table below provides a very general indication of the maximum burn cycle times you are likely to experience, based on firebox volume. MAXIMUM FIREBOX VOLUME 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 24: 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 firebricks, baffles and air tubes, will wear over time under intense heat.

  • Page 25: 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 26: Door Alignment

    5.1.4 Door alignment To align, open the fireplace’s doors and loosen the pressures screws located on the lower and upper hinges of the door using a 5/64" (2mm) 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.

  • Page 27: Replacing The Door Gasket

    5.1.5 Replacing the Door Gasket It is important to maintain the gaskets in good condition. After a year or more of use, the door gaskets will compress and become hard, which may allow air to leak past it. You can test the condition of the door gaskets by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper.
  • Page 28 Place the doors face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or piece of carpet. Remove the old gaskets from the door by pulling and prying it out with a screwdriver. Then use the screwdriver to scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door. Now run a 1/4” (6 mm) bead of high temperature silicone in the door frame gasket groove of the door gasket.

  • Page 30: Cleaning And Painting The Fireplace

    5.1.7 Cleaning and Painting the Fireplace Do not attempt to clean or paint the fireplace when the unit is hot. Painted surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Plated surfaces may be scratched by abrasive cleaners. To maintain the finish at its original brilliance, use only a damp soft cloth to clean plated surfaces.

  • Page 31: Cleaning The Chimney

    5.2.3 Cleaning the Chimney Chimney cleaning can be a difficult and dangerous job. If you don’t have experience cleaning chimneys, you might want to hire a professional chimney sweep to clean and inspect the system for the first time. After having seen the cleaning process, you can decide if it is a job you would like to take on.

When the fireplace 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 51: The Venting System

    8 THE VENTING SYSTEM 8.1 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.
