Page 13: Venting Requirements
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).
Page 14: Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Inspect the fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary. 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. An inaccessible damper which may fall shut later could cause smoke to enter the room.
Page 15 POSITIONING THE UNIT: The more extended the insert, the greater the heat transfer to the room. When installed as an extended insert, the front edge of the air jacket will be installed flush with the fireplace facing. Otherwise the unit can be moved back as much as 3.5"...
Page 16 If lag-bolts and anchors are to be used to secure the insert, the hole locations should be marked with the unit in place. Remove the unit and locate the anchors. Remove the faceplate panels from their box and assemble according to these faceplate instructions: Remove the slide from within the air jacket.
Page 17 INSTALLATION ON FACEPLATE: Attach the mitred corners of trim together using the corner brackets. Slide the assembled trim over the edge of the faceplate. See Figures 8 and 9. Attach the left and right sides to the top with corner brackets supplied. Slip the trim over the faceplate and snap the eight faceplate trim clips in place (see Figure 8).
Page 18 Push the air control (A) in, all the way. Slide the adjustable faceplate sleeve back into its original location until the faceplate fits tightly against the fireplace facing. See Figure 10. One 7/16" (11mm) open end wrench should be used to turn the nut (B), located above the cooktop in the center, up so that it securely fastens the adjustable faceplate sleeve to the top air jacket.
Page 19: Operation
OPERATION Your heating unit was designed to burn wood only; no other materials should be burnt. Wastes and other flammable materials should not be burnt in your wood insert. Any type of wood may be used in your insert, but specific varieties have better energy yields than others.
Page 20: Testing Your Wood
Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 6" in diameter should be split. The wood should not be stored directly on the ground. Air should circulate through the cord. A 24" to 48" air space should be left between each row of logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location possible.
Page 21: Heating
If you move it completely to the left, it is fully close. Your OSBURN insert burnt between .979 kg\h and 4.4 kg\h. of wood during EPA testing. Real operating conditions may give very different results than those obtained in the lab according to the species of wood used, its moisture content, the size and density of the pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature.
Page 22: Creosote Formation And Need For Removal
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
Page 23: Maintenance
Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the insert if the glass is broken.  If the glass on your insert breaks, replace only with glazing supplied from the OSBURN dealer.
Page 24: Baffle Installation
BAFFLE INSTALLATION firebrick and ceramic wool baffles must be properly in place for correct burning operation. Have any damaged firebricks replaced. Check the firebricks annually for damage and replace if they are broken or damaged. See figure 11 for the firebrick layout. VERMICULITE BAFFLE TUBE Figure 11 - Baffle installation...
Page 25: Secondary Air Tube Replacement
Note that any tube can be replaced without disturbing the baffle. The air tubes are identified for placement as follows: Model Type of tube Osburn 1600 Insert Front ► 22 holes of 1/4"...
