  • Page 5: Section 1.0 Pre-Installation Requirements

    Section 1.0 Pre-Installation Requirements 1.1 Masonry & Zero Clearance Requirements We recommend that our woodburning hearth products be installed and serviced by professionals who are certified in the United States by NFI (National Fireplace Institute®) or in Canada by WETT (Wood Energy Technical Training) or in Quebec by APC (Association des Professionnels du Chauffage).

  • Page 6: Venting Requirements

    1.2 Venting Requirements The flue is a critical component to a satisfactory installation. Your Osburn insert will attain its best performance if installed with a chimney that generates its own draft. The minimum requirement of a flue will be the installation of a flue connector (the liner must conform to UL1777 chimney liners) from the insert into the first flue tile of the chimney (USA), see Figure 2.3 , or a continuous stainless steel liner (the liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/ULC-S635) directly connected to the flue outlet (Canada), see Figure 2.2.

  • Page 7: Door Overlay Installation

    1.3 Door overlay installation In order to complete the assembly of your freestanding Osburn 1100 wood insert, you need to install the door overlay. See table below for installation instructions : 1- Position the overlay on the door frame and fix it in place from behind using the 4 screws.

  • Page 8: Section 2.0 Installation

    Section 2.0 Installation 2.1 Safety information NOTE: THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN A HOME IF AN OCCUPANT HAS ANY RESPIRATORY OR ANY OTHER RELATED PROBLEMS. 1. It is important to follow the installation and operation instructions. An improperly installed or operated insert could result in a safety hazard or fire, or damage to the unit, which would not be covered by the warranty.
  • Page 9 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 10 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 11 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 12 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 13 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 16 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 17 2.8.1 Chimney liner installation To the chimney liner to the insert’s flue outlet, you have two options: A) Install the chimney liner starter adapter, provided with the chimney liner. Follow the chimney liner starter adapter manufacturer's instructions. B) You can get from your dealer a liner fixation system (AC02006), sold separately. Follow the installation instructions provided with the liner fixation system.

  • Page 24: 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 25: 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 26: Ash Removal

    4.2 Ash Removal CAUTION: Ashes can start fires, even after several days of inactivity. Never dispose of ashes in a combustible container. Remove ashes only when the insert and ashes are cold. Ashes should be removed from the insert frequently. When ashes are removed, they should be placed in a metal container with a tightly fitting lid.
