Page 5: Section 2: Getting Started
Getting Started WARNING Fire Risk • HOT while in operation and after fire is out. • DO NOT operate without protective barrier. A. Design, Installation & Location Considerations Consideration must be given to: • Safety • Convenience • Traffic flow • Chimney and chimney connector required It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the installation. -
Page 6: Negative Pressure
C. Negative Pressure Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances successfully. Considerations for successful draft include: • Preventing negative pressure • Location of appliance and chimney Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail- able for the fireplace to operate properly. Causes for this imbalance include: • Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath) etc.) • Range hoods • Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters and other combustion appliances • Clothes dryers • Location of return-air vents to furnace or air condi-... -
Page 7: Flue Draft Considerations
D. Flue Draft Considerations Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor- mance. As shown in Figure 6.1 the chimney should: • Be installed through the warm space enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die down of the fire. • Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the affects of wind turbulence. • Consider the appliance location to the floor and ceil- ing attic joists. -

Page 23: Section 8: Operating Instructions
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. -

burn. For this reason, it is always best to burn dry, seasoned firewood. When the wood isn’t dry, you must open the air controls and burn at a high burn setting for a longer time to start it burning. The heat generated from the fire should be warming your home and establishing the flue draft, not evapo- rating the moisture out of wet, unseasoned wood, resulting in wasted heat. -

8. Adjust the Start-Up Air Control and Primary Air Control; the more you close down the Primary Air Control, the lower and slower the fire will burn. The more you open the Primary Air Control, the more heat will be produced. The Start-Up Air Control is only used for the first 5 to 15 minutes. -
Page 27: Frequently Asked Questions
J. Frequently Asked Questions ISSUES Odor from appliance Metallic noise Whirring sound CAUTION Odors and vapors are released during initial operation. • Curing of high temperature paint. • Open windows for air circulation. Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals. September 1, 2008 5100-I ACT WOOD INSERT When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of the appliance. The blower produces a whirring sound which increases in volume as the speed is increased. 438-0380D SOLUTIONS Page ... -
Page 28: Maintaining & Servicing Appliance
Maintaining & Servicing Your Appliance A. General Maintenance 1. Creosote (Chimney) Cleaning • Frequency: Annually or once every 2 months during heating season. • By: Homeowner / Chimney Sweep • Task: Remove all ash from the firebox and extinguish all hot embers before disposal. Allow the appliance to cool completely. If the chimney has a full reline, remove the baffle, ceramic blanket and manifold tubes from the insert before cleaning chimney. Otherwise residue can pile up on top of the baffle and the appliance will not work properly. -
Page 29: Glass Replacement - Door
A portion of the combustion air entering the firebox is deflected down over the inside of the door glass. This air flow “washes” the glass, helping to keep smoke from adhering to its surface. When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be flowing over the glass and the smoky, relatively cool condition of a low fire will cause the glass to become coated. Operating the appliance with the Primary Air Control all the way open for 15-0 minutes... -
Page 30: Glass Replacement - Side Window
C. Glass Replacement - Side Window • Frequency: As needed • By: Homeowner / Qualified service technician • Task: See the following instructions. 1.

Page 33: Correct Baffle And Blanket Placement
H. 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. -
Page 34: Section 10: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting 1. If I can’t get a good fire going, what am I doing wrong? Diagnostic question Are the air controls open? Is there enough paper? Is there enough kindling? Is the kindling dry? Is there enough or too much wood? Is it too large? Is it dry enough? Are there adequate air spaces between fuel pieces? Is the chimney pre-warmed? Is there smoke in the house? Does the kindling wood not ignite? Does the kindling ignite, but the fuel doesn’t? - Page 35 3. I smell smoke in the house during operation. What is causing it? Diagnostic question Do fires start and burn well? 4. I don’t get enough/any heat. What can I do about it? Diagnostic question How much wood is used for fire? How well seasoned is the wood? Is blower operating properly? How are air controls set?
