  • Page 5: Section 1.0 Pre-Installation Requirements

    Section 1.0 Pre-Installation Requirements This unit is designed for safe operation. Altering or modifying the unit, or installation, without proper authorization will void the certification, warranty and safety listing and may result in a safety hazard. 1.1 Masonry & Zero Clearance Requirements The masonry fireplace must meet the minimum code requirements, or NFPA 211 in USA or CSA B365 in Canada or the equivalent for a safe installation.

  • Page 6: Venting Requirements

    6. OPENING SIZE: Refer to “Suitable Fireplace Dimensions” for suitable size fireplace openings. NOTE: A METAL TAG IS PROVIDED AND IS TO BE FASTENED TO THE BACK WALL OF THE FIREPLACE, IF THE FIREPLACE HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO ACCOMMODATE THE INSERT. 1.2 Venting requirements The flue is a critical component to a satisfactory installation.

  • Page 7: Installation

    Floor protection to the front is to be measured from the fuel loading door opening. 5. Osburn 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 8: Installation Instructions

    2.2 Installation instructions Inspect the masonry fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary. 2.3 Compliance of the masonry fireplace Where the masonry fireplace opening is 6 ft (0.56 m ) or larger, the hearth extension shall extend at least 20'' (508 mm) in front of the facing material and at least 12'' (305 mm) beyond each side of the fireplace opening.

  • Page 9: The Masonry Fireplace's Draft Control System

    2.4 The masonry fireplace's draft control system If the fireplace's draft control system gets in the way of the installation of the insert, you must either block it in the open position or remove it entirely. If you remove draft control system from the masonry hearth, you will need to install the metal plate (27009), supplied with the owner’s manual kit, indicating that the masonry hearth has been modified.

  • Page 10: Positioning The Unit

    2.6 Positioning the unit In addition to ensuring compliance of the masonry fireplace hearth extension (see Compliance of the masonry fireplace in Section 2.3), it is necessary to have a floor protection made of non-combustible materials that meets the measurements specified in table FLOOR PROTECTION (see Section 2.7). To determine the need to add a floor protection (D) beyond the hearth extension, you must do the following calculation using the data in Table Data for floor protection calculation of this section: D = B - (A - C).
  • Page 11 If a non-combustible material floor protection needs to be added in front and level with the hearth extension masonry fireplace (see Figure 2.6a), an R factor equal to or greater than 1.00 is required. If the extension of the masonry hearth is raised at least 4" from the floor protection (see Figure 2.6b), a non-combustible material without an R factor is sufficient.
  • Page 12 The use of an R value is convenient when more than one material is going to be used in the hearth extension to cover the combustible surface. This is because R values are additive, whereas K values are not. To find the corresponding R factor to use for some selected materials, please see Table Thermal characteristics of common floor protection materials in this section.

  • Page 15: Connector Installation

    2.8 Connector installation A masonry flue connector may provide acceptable performance (Figure 2.8a); however, we recommend the use of a chimney liner (rigid or flexible) to ensure satisfactory performance (Figure 2.8b). To ensure an optimal draft, we also strongly recommend adding a minimum of 18” rigid liner between the roof flashing and the rain cap.

  • Page 16: Chimney Liner Installation

    2.8.1 Chimney liner installation To install of the chimney liner, the preferred methods are those found in Section 2.8.1.1. Use a liner offset adapter (Section 2.8.1.2) only as a last resort. 2.8.1.1 If the chimney liner does align with the insert’s flue outlet, you have two options: A) Install the chimney liner starter adapter, provided with the chimney liner.

  • Page 17: If The Chimney Liner Does Not Align With The Insert's Flue Outlet

    2.8.1.2 If the chimney liner does not align with the insert’s flue outlet: You can get a liner offset adapter (AC01370), sold separately. If you must install a liner offset adapter, using a powered driver, secure the three brackets with the three screws provided 30131 on top of the insert in the three holes in front of the flue outlet.

    2.9 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 2.9c) 3.

  • Page 20 8. Cooktop is installed at the factory. Shipping screw must be removed before installation of faceplates. (Figure 2..9f) 9. Install faceplate (Figure 2.9e) with four (#10 x 3/8” sheet metal) screws supplied, ensuring the ¼” rod on the air control plate extension protrudes through the slot in the RH faceplate & moves freely horizontally.

  • Page 21: Operation

    Misuse is not covered by warranty. Even though your Osburn 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 22: Fuel

    3.2 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 Osburn insert is designed to burn . Do not burn coal, charcoal, or ORDWOOD trash in the unit.

If it starts to burn on three sides within one minute, it is dry and seasoned and right for burning.
  • Page 24 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 25: Maintaining The Fire

    3.5 Maintaining The Fire Your Osburn 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 26: Fan Operation

    3.6 Fan Operation Allow the insert to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour), before turning on the fan, since increased airflow from the fan will remove heat and affect the start-up combustion efficiency. NSURE ONTACT URFACE NSERT REVENT LECTRICAL HOCK AMAGE ENEATH NSERT...

  • Page 27: 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 Gold surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance.
  • Page 28 Osburn dealer. Your Osburn insert has been designed to reduce the amount of creosote produced. Even so, the chimney connector pipe and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred.

    4.4 Baffle Installation and Brick Notes: 1. Stack the baffle boards (A) on top of the vermiculite boards (B) as shown in figure 4.4a . Figure 4.4a 2. Put them on the horizontal air duct (C) (see figure 4.4b). Afterwards, push them towards the bottom and sides so that they rest on the back of the firebox (D) and on the side air ducts.
  • Page 30 3. Install the baffle support/extension (H) ensuring that it fits between the front risers and hold it in place. Install the front secondary air tube as show in figure 3.4c ensuring air holes face forward. Install the cotter pins as in fig 4.4c. Installing the front secondary air tube (E) will stabilize baffle assembly during the next step.
