This manual contains instructions for Installation, Operation & Maintenance.
Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to follow
instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
1) When installing your stove, particular attention should be paid to fire protection. If this room heater is not properly installed,
a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions. Contact local building or fire officials or
authority having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection and permit requirements in your area.
2) CAUTION: Never use gasoline or gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or
"freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from heater while it is in use.
3) During operation, if any part of the stove starts to glow, the stove is in an overfired condition. Close the air controls completely
until the glowing has stopped. OVERFIRING VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY!
4) Cool ashes should be disposed of carefully, using a metal container.
5) Do not burn wet or green wood. Store wood in a dry location.
6) DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. Do not burn
treated wood, or wood with salt (driftwood, etc.). Burning materials other than wood (including charcoal) under adverse
conditions may generate carbon monoxide in the home, resulting in illness or possible death.
7) Do not permit creosote or soot to accumulate excessively in the chimney or inside the firebox.
8) Check your chimney system thoroughly when installing into an existing metal or masonry chimney. Seek professional
advice if in doubt about its condition.
9) Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue already serving another appliance.
10) Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as shown in this manual for this appliance.
11) Build fire on brick firebox floor. Do not use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.
12) HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! Keep children, pets, clothing and furniture away. Contact can cause skin burns.
13) Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
14) RISK OF FIRE! Do not operate with stove door open without the firescreen or with the ash removal system door open.
15) For further information refer to NFPA 211 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B365 (Canada).
16) Do not operate without fully assembling all components.
17) Do not operate with broken glass.
PRIOR TO FIRST FIRE: Remove all labels from glass. Clean plated surfaces with a glass cleaner and soft cloth to

  • Page 11: Chimney Height Requirements, 2-10-3 Rule

    CHIMNEY HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS / DRAFT To be sure that your Quadra-Fire stove burns properly, the chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.04” water column (W.C.) during a low burn and -.10” W.C. during a high burn, measured 6” (152mm) above the top of the stove after one hour of operation at each burn setting.
  • Page 12: Masonry Chimney

    MASONRY CHIMNEY For optimal performance, masonry chimneys used to vent this appliance should be lined with a 6" stain- less steel liner. Installations into a clay flue without a stainless steel liner may reduce efficiency, can cause the glass to darken, and produce excessive creosote.
  • Page 13: Solid Pack Chimney With Metal Supports As A Thimble

    SOLID PACK CHIMNEY WITH METAL SUPPORTS AS A THIMBLE For the method of installation to a masonry chimney shown in Figures 14A & 14B on page 14, it will be necessary to purchase a 12" (305mm) long (8" (203mm) inside diameter), section of prefabricated listed solid pack chimney to use as a thimble. Purchase a wall spacer, trim collar, and a wall band manufactured to fit the chimney section you purchase.
  • Page 14: Masonry Fireplace

    SOLID PACK CHIMNEY WITH METAL SUPPORTS AS A THIMBLE (Cont'd) First, make the frame for the thimble, ensuring it is no smaller than 14" (356mm) square to maintain a 2" (51mm) air space around the chimney section. Attach the wall spacer to the chimney side of the frame. Then insert the frame into the opening, toe nailing it to the wall studs.
  • Page 15: Metal Prefabricated Chimney

    CONNECTION TO A METAL PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed precisely. It will be necessary to install the ceiling support package or wall pass through, “T” section package, firestops (when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, and any other materials deemed necessary by the prefabricated chimney manuafacturers' instructions.
  • Page 16: Mobile Home Installation

An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while unit is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a fire.
  • Page 17: Outside Air Kit Installation

  • Page 21: Air Controls

    FINAL STAGE The final stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs when the flammable gases have been mostly burned and only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of the burn. The coals burn with hot blue flames. It is very important to reload your stove while enough lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood.
  • Page 22: Heat Output Setting

    For maximum operating efficiency with the lowest emissions, follow these operating procedures: Regardless of desired heat output, when loading stove, burn your stove with both air controls wide open for 5 to 15 minutes. Regulate burn rate (heat output) by using the Primary Air Slide Control (center under ashcatcher). The Start-Up Air Control (on the right) is used for initial start-up and reloading.Refer to Figure 21A on page 21.
  • Page 23: Correct Baffle & Blanket Placement

    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: •...
  • Page 24: Opacity

    This is the measure of how cleanly your stove is burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen. As you become familiar with your stove, you should periodically check the opacity.
  • Page 25: Maintenance Creosote Formation & Removal

    CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL: When wood is burned slowly it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a newly-started or a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
  • Page 26: Care & Cleaning Of Plated Surfaces

    . Ensure that the fire is out and the appliance is cool to the touch. 2. Protect a table or counter top with padding or towels. 3. Remove door with broken glass from the appliance by lifting door up and off of the hinges. 4.
  • Page 27: Brick Replacement

    The firebox of your Quadra-Fire Cumberland Gap is lined with high quality firebrick which has exceptional insulating properties.
