    E. Construct the Chase A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the fire- place and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run on the outside of a building must be installed inside a chase. In cold climates, it is recommended that the chase insulated using batt type insulation between the joists. Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build- ing.

    Installation of Fireplace CAUTION Sharp Edges • Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation. A. Install the Outside Air Kit This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila- tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace system. See Section 2. Using an outside air kit must be used for combustion to mini- mize the effects of negative pressure within the structure. We recommend you utilize the shortest duct run to optimize the performance of the outside air kit.

    C. Using Offsets/Returns To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may be offset using an offset/return. An offset and return may be attached together or a chimney section(s) may be used between an offset and return. Perform the following steps to determine the correct chim- ney component combination for your particular installation: WARNING Fire Risk...

  • Page 22: Assemble The Chimney Sections

    D. Assemble the Chimney Sections Attach either a straight chimney section or an offset to the top of the fireplace (depending on your installation require- ment). Chimney sections are locked together by pushing downward until the top section meets the stop bead on the lower section. The inner flue is placed to the inside of the flue section below it. The outer casing is placed outside the outer casing of the chimney section below it.

    E. Non-Combustible Facing Material Installation WARNING Risk of Fire. • Follow these instructions exactly. • Facing materials must be installed properly to prevent fire. • No materials may be substituted without authorization by Hearth & Home Technologies. TOOLS NEEDED: Powered drill with #2 Phillips head bit; caulking gun. 1.

    Operating Instructions A. Over-Firing Your Appliance WARNING Fire Risk Do not over-fire. Over-firing may ignite creosote or will damage the stove and chimney. To prevent over-firing your stove, DO NOT: • Use flammable liquids • Overload with wood • Burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber • Permit too much air to the fire 1. Symptoms of Over-Firing Symptoms of over-firing may include one or more of the following: •...

  • Page 45: Outside Air

    C. Outside Air A source of air (oxygen) is required in order for combustion to take place. Whatever air is consumed by the fire must be replaced through cracks around windows, under doors, etc. Most newly constructed houses or existing homes fitted with tightly sealed doors and windows are relatively air tight. In this case, an outside air source must be made available to feed combustion air from outside the home.

  • Page 46: Clear Space Near The Fireplace

    D. Clear Space Near the Fireplace Combustible materials must not be stored on the hearth ex- tension. Room furnishings such as drapes, curtains, chairs or other combustibles must be at least 4 ft (1219mm) from the open front of the fireplace. E. Firescreen A firescreen is optional to control sparks. It must be in place whenever the fireplace is in use. Glass doors or firescreens must not be used to hold burning material inside the fire- place. Only those glass doors specifically tested and listed for use with the specific fireplace model should be used.

  • Page 47: Wood Fuel

    CAUTION ALL wiring should be done by a qualified electrician and shall be in compliance with local codes and with the National Electric Code NFPA/NEC No. 70-current (in the United States), or with the current CSC22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada). I. Wood Fuel Hardwood vs. Softwood Your fireplace’s performance depends a great deal on the quality of the firewood you use. Contrary to popular belief, one species of wood varies very little to the other in terms of energy content.

  • Page 48: Storing Wood

    WARNING Fire Risk • Do NOT burn wet or green wood. • Store wood in dry location. • Stack wood so both ends are exposed to air. Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of creosote. Storing Wood Splitting wood before it is stored reduces drying time. The following guideline will ensure properly seasoned wood: a.
  • Page 49 NOTE: Fireplace should be run full open for a minimum of 30 minutes a day during heating season to keep air passages clean. Note: The first three or four fires should be of moderate size to allow the oils and binders to be burned from the fireplace and the refractory and paint to cure. You may notice an industrial odor the first few fires. This is considered normal.

  • Page 50: Correct Baffle & Blanket Placement

    K. Correct Baffle & Blanket Placement WARNING Fire Risk Firebox damage due to improper baffle place- ment is not covered by warranty. Operate the wood burning appliance with the baffle in the correct position only. Not doing so could result in: • Reduced efficiency • Overheating the chimney • Overheating the rear of the firebox • Poor performance Ensure correct baffle placement and replace baffle com- ponents if damaged or missing. CORRECT POSITION Ceramic Blanket Baffle Board Ceramic Blanket and Baffle Board MUST be in contact with the back of the firebox and...

  • Page 51: Burning Process

    L. Burning Process Fire requires 3 things to burn: fuel, air and heat. If heat is robbed from the fireplace during the drying stage, the new load of wood has reduced the chances for a good clean burn. For this reason, it is always best to burn dry, seasoned firewood. We do not advise burning unsea- soned wood, however if it happens, you must open the Slide Air Control and burn the fireplace at a high burn setting for a longer time to start it burning.

  • Page 52: Burning Guidelines

    N. Burning Guidelines For maximum operating efficiency with the lowest emissions, follow these operating procedures: 1. Regardless of desired heat output, when loading the fireplace, burn your fireplace with the Slide Air Control wide open (fully to the right) for a minimum of 5 to 15 minutes. 2. Regulate burn rate (heat output) by using the Slide Air Control.

  • Page 53: Overfiring

    Q. Chimney Fire In the event of a chimney fire: • Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected by qualified professionals. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that NFI or CSIA certified professionals, or technicians under the direction of certified professionals, conduct a minimum of an NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection of the chimney. • Replace components of the chimney and fireplace as specified by the professionals.

  • Page 54: Section 10: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila- tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace system. Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechan- ical exhausting devices which will create a negative air pres- sure within the structure where the fireplace is located.

  • Page 60: Firebrick Replacement

    C. Firebrick Replacement The firebox of your fireplace is lined with high quality firebrick, which has exceptional insulating properties. There is no need to use a grate; simply build a fire on the firebox floor. Do not operate the fireplace without bricks. IMPORTANT: The bricks are very similar in size. Be certain you have the proper brick in the correct location. Measure the brick size for accuracy. After the coals are completely cooled, remove all old firebrick and ash from unit and vacuum out firebox.

    D. Care and Cleaning of Plated Surfaces Clean-plated surfaces with vinegar or a glass cleaner before lighting your first fire to prevent permanent staining. CAUTION Clean all the fingerprints and oils from the surface before fir- ing the appliance for the first time. • Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and towel to remove the oils. • Oils can cause permanent markings on plating, if not removed. • After plating is cured, oils will not affect the finish. CAUTION • Do not use polishes with abrasives. It will scratch plated surfaces.
