1. Planning Your Installation 1.1 Questions to Ask Local Building Officials A correct installation is critical and imperative for reducing fire hazards and perilous conditions that can arise when wood burning appliances are improperly installed. The installer must follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions.
1.4 Clearance from Combustible Walls WARNING: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU OBSERVE THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES. There are listed clearances for your fireplace which were determined in a Laboratory test, using various “classes” of stove pipe or chimney. Minimums are first established for the fireplace itself and then increased, based on how much heat is transferred by each class of pipe.
1.5 Floor Protection This appliance requires a non-combustible floor protection to protect against burning embers. If the floor is to be stone, tile, brick, etc., it must be mortared or grouted to form a continuous, non- combustible surface. If a chimney connector extends horizontally over the floor, protection must cover the floor under the connector and at least 2”...
1.6 Ventilation (Residential homes which do not require an outside air inlet). Ventilation is essential when using a solid fuel fireplace. The combustion process uses oxygen from inside the home, and it may be necessary to open a window or install a vent to provide combustion air in a house that is well insulated.
2. Installation 2.1 Installing Marble Accents Marble is a natural product, and, therefore, each piece will have its own unique character. Marble can be scratched so care should be taken to avoid putting heavy or rough objects (trivet/steamers) on the surface.
2.3 Types of Chimneys The chimney is a vital part of your fireplace installation. A properly built masonry chimney or a properly installed factory built chimney will assure a consistent draft under a variety of weather conditions (a smoking fireplace is usually caused by a chimney problem). The fireplace flue size is 6 inches (152 mm) diameter, which is approximately 28 square inches (711 square mm) minimum.
Vapor Barrier at Chimney Penetration Install all venting components per the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions. Ensure that there is an effective vapor barrier at the location where the chimney penetrates the exterior of the structure. This can be accomplished by applying a non-hardening, waterproof sealant to the following components: •...
2.8 Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs Method A. 12” (305 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness of 3.5” (90 mm) brick and a 5/8” (16 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass- through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent.

3.3 Delivery Damage can occur to the product during transport, even though the packaging appears to be undamaged, upon visual inspection. Therefore, it is important that you inspect the fireplace itself very carefully and report all damages within one week. In the event of obvious visual damage to the product or its packaging, make a note of this on the shipping papers before accepting the merchandise.
have a sufficient supply of fresh air. • Never remove hot ashes. Store the ashes in a container that is fire-proof and not combustible. • Always use the protective glove when operating the appliance. Do not touch the fireplace with your bare hand when it is in operation. •...
6.1 Regulating the Heat In the Stromboli 01, 02, 03, and 04 there is also a primary air control knob below the door on the left side (labelled “P”). Pull it out to open or push it in to close.
6.2 Door Caution: Use protective glove!!! When adding wood, pull out the door handle. The door opens from the right side. After you have finished, remember to securely lock the door again by pressing it back in. Warning: Be careful in using the door. Never operate the fireplace with broken glass!!! A torsion spring is used to automatically close this door.
7.2 Starting a Fire It is important to engage the wood in a trouble-free combustion process as quickly and safely as possible. In order to accomplish this, the wood should be layered in the fireplace as follows: Never use alcohol, gasoline or similar substances, including glossy paper, to light the fire. It does not burn properly, and its printed colors produce highly toxic elements in the fumes.
7.7 Burning during Transition Periods During transition periods (Spring / Fall), outside temperatures of over 16°C can cause a smoke buildup in the fireplace. If sufficient draft cannot be created with a startup fire at this temperature (= rapid generation of high heat by quick burning of newspaper), so that the fumes are not completely removed, then you should abandon your plans for a fire.
9. Troubleshooting 9.1 Poor Draft Conditions • Is the chimney too short? • Is the chimney or flue leaking? • Is the flue protruding out from the chimney? Is the door from another fireplace that is connected to the same chimney, open? •...

13.3 Replacement of baffle and firebrick Note: Cracks in the stone do not have any effect on the combustion and service life of the fireplace. The bricks should not remain touching the metal for prolonged periods of time. Warning: When stoking logs, make sure they do not hit the brick hard to prevent damage! To replace the baffle and firebrick: •...
