  • Page 6: Venting Requirements

    1.2 Venting Requirements The flue is a critical component to a satisfactory installation. Your Century 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...

  • Page 9: Safety Information

    Floor protection to the front is to be measured from the fuel loading door opening. 5. Century recommends that you install a listed smoke detector or alarm in your home. Normal operation of the insert will have no effect on the detector or alarm.

  • Page 10: Installation Instructions

    2.4 Installation Instructions 1. Inspect the fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary. 2. 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.

  • Page 12: Section 3.0 Operation

    Do not abuse the unit, either by over firing or by using wood or combustibles with salt content, or harmful chemicals. Misuse is not covered by warranty. Even though your Century insert has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimize the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft causing flame or smoke to spill into the room.

  • Page 13: Fuel

    3.2 Fuel Fuel for the insert must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles and not in the space required for ash removal. Your Century insert is designed to burn . Do not burn coal, charcoal, or ORDWOOD trash in the unit.

  • Page 14: Simple Wood Moisture Test

    Decayed wood or low density wood has very little energy content or heating value, and will not burn satisfactorily for long periods of time. An example of the energy values of some common wood fuels is given in Table 3.1 For recommended wood sizes, refer to the specifications.
  • Page 15 Light a fire at the bottom of the crumpled paper and close the door. If the fire tends to go out, momentarily hold the door slightly ajar to fan the fire. As soon as the fire catches hold, close the door.

  • Page 16: Maintaining The Fire

    3.5 Maintaining The Fire Your Century 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 17: 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 18: Ash Removal
