Page 5: Section 1.0 Pre-Installation Requirements
Section 1.0 Pre-Installation Requirements 1.1 Masonry & Zero Clearance Requirements The masonry fireplace must meet the minimum code requirements, or NFPA 211 or the equivalent for a safe installation. Contact your local Building Inspector for requirements in your area. An inspection of the fireplace should include the following: 1. -
Page 6: Venting Requirements
1.2 Venting Requirements The flue is a critical component to a satisfactory installation. Your insert will attain its best performance if installed with a flue that generates its own draft. The minimum venting requirement will be the installation of a flue connector from the insert into the first tile of the chimney (see Figure 2.3). If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the National Building Code or other applicable standard having jurisdiction. -

2.1.1 Hearth Requirements If the non-combustible hearth is flush with the floor, then the hearth must be 16”/406mm (18”/450mm in Canada) in front of the fan housing (see Figure 2.1.2). If the non- combustible hearth is a minimum of 4” (102mm) above the floor, then the hearth can be 6” (152mm) out from the fan housing with a 10”... -
Page 9: Safety Information
Floor protection to the front is to be measured from the fuel loading door opening. 5. Drolet recommends that you install a listed smoke detector or alarm in your home. Normal operation of the insert will have no effect on the detector or alarm. -
Page 10: Installation Instructions
2.4 Installation Instructions 1. Inspect the fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary. 2. If the installation of the unit renders the existing damper control inaccessible, it will be necessary to either secure the damper wide open or remove it entirely. -

2.5 Air control plate, faceplate and fan Assembly Instructions 1. Place the faceplate panels with the finished side down on a flat, soft, non-abrasive surface. 2. Assemble the faceplate trim, attaching the mitered corners with the corner brackets. (see Figure 2.4) 3. -
Page 12: Installation Of The Adapter For Fresh Air Kit
2.6 Installation of the adapter for fresh air kit In order to avoid some combustion problems, it is highly recommended to install an adapter for fresh air kit. To do so, you need to have the accessory #AC01298. Using pliers, remove the metal rectangle (A) located on the side of the insert. -
Page 13: Section 3.0 Operation
Misuse is not covered by warranty. Even though your Drolet insert has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimize the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft causing flame or smoke to spill into the room. -
Page 14: Fuel
Fuel for the insert must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles and not in the space required for ash removal. Your Drolet insert is designed to burn in the unit. Highly flammable items such as trash may ignite creosote in the chimney, resulting in a chimney fire. -
Page 15: Simple Wood Moisture Test
An example of the energy values of some common wood fuels is given in Table 3.1 For recommended wood sizes, refer to the specifications. Common Heating Values of Cordwood Hardwoods Birch White Oak Alder 3.2.1 Simple Wood Moisture Test Add one large piece of wood to the top of an established fire. If it starts to burn on three sides within one minute, it is dry and seasoned and right for burning. -
Page 16: Damper Operation
Ideally the large kindling should be burned until a thick bed of red embers is obtained. At that point, add cordwood fuel and continue to operate the draft control wide open until the fire is well established. Once the firebox is hot, the draft control can be partially closed by moving the knob to the left to adjust the intensity of the fire. -
Page 17: Maintaining The Fire
3.5 Maintaining The Fire Your Drolet insert will work best if a thick bed of hot embers is maintained in the bottom of the firebox, and a minimum of two large pieces of seasoned fuel are added. Combustion efficiency is largely related to establishing a hot ember bed, and hot firebox temperatures. -
Page 18: Section 4.0 Maintenance
Section 4.0 Maintenance 4.1 Care And Cleaning Clean the insert frequently so that soot, ash and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean the insert, glass or door when the unit is hot. Special care must be taken with plated surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance. -
Page 19: Ash Removal
If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire. Call a professional chimney sweep, or go to your local Drolet dealer and purchase a chimney brush, and have the chimney cleaned. -

4.5 Secondary Air Tube Replacement (see Figure 4.3) Remove cotter pin at RH end of tube. Slide tube to left and lower tube end below RH plenum. Slide tube to right to remove. Reassemble in reverse order using a new cotter pin. The cotter pin is a hammerlock style and locks into place by hitting the head sharply with a hammer. -
Page 22: Fan Maintenance & Care
4.6 Fan Maintenance & Care Clean the fan air inlet louvres and squirrel cage impeller regularly. The fan should be kept clean and dust free. Life of the fan will be shortened if operated in a dust filled environment, or if the fan is overheated by restricting air supply. -
