  • Page 4: Pre-Installation Requirements

    3. LINER: The chimney must have an acceptable 6" (152 mm) stainless steel chimney liner installed. NOTE: The 2400 Insert is not approved for use with a positive flue connector into a masonry flue. 4. ADJACENT COMBUSTIBLES: The fireplace should be inspected to make sure that there is adequate clearance to combustibles, both exposed combustibles to the top, side, and front as well as concealed combustibles, in the chimney and mantel area.

  • Page 5: Venting Requirements

    1.2 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. If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the National Building Code or other applicable standard having jurisdiction.

  • Page 6: Door Overlay Installation

    1.3 Door overlay installation In order to complete the assembly of your Osburn 2400 wood insert, you need to install the door overlay. See figure 1 below for installation instructions: Figure 1 1- Position the overlay on the door frame and fix it in place from behind using the 4 screws.

  • Page 7: Installation

    Floor protection to the front is to be measured from the fuel loading door opening. 5. Osburn 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 8: Installation Instructions

    2.2 Installation instructions Inspect the masonry fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary. 2.3 Compliance of the masonry fireplace Where the masonry fireplace opening is 6 ft (0.56 m ) or larger, the hearth extension shall extend at least 20'' (508 mm) in front of the facing material and at least 12'' (305 mm) beyond each side of the fireplace opening.

  • Page 9: The Masonry Fireplace's Draft Control System

    2.4 The masonry fireplace's draft control system If the fireplace's draft control system is to remain in the masonry fireplace, it must be locked open for access of the chimney liner or removed entirely. If you remove draft control system from the masonry hearth, you will need to install the metal plate (27009), supplied with the owner’s manual kit, indicating that the masonry hearth has been modified.

  • Page 10: Positioning The Unit

    2.6 Positioning the unit In addition to ensuring compliance of the masonry fireplace hearth extension (see Compliance of the masonry fireplace in Section 2.3), it is necessary to have a floor protection made of non- combustible materials that meets the measurements specified in table FLOOR PROTECTION (see Section 2.7).
  • Page 11 If a non-combustible material floor protection needs to be added in front and level with the hearth extension masonry fireplace (see Figure 2.6a), an R factor equal to or greater than 1.00 is required. If the extension of the masonry hearth is raised at least 4" from the floor protection (see Figure 2.6b), a non-combustible material without an R factor is sufficient.
  • Page 12 The use of an R value is convenient when more than one material is going to be used in the hearth extension to cover the combustible surface. This is because R values are additive, whereas K values are not. To find the corresponding R factor to use for some selected materials, please see Table Thermal characteristics of common floor protection materials in this section.
  • Page 13 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 3/4" (95 mm) or any position in between. The position chosen will depend on your own preference for most installations, your current configuration, the compliance with the preceding installation instructions and compliance with the building code requirements.

    2.8 Connector installation A masonry flue connector may provide acceptable performance (Figure 2.8a); however, we recommend the use of a chimney liner (rigid or flexible) to ensure satisfactory performance (Figure 2.8b). To ensure an optimal draft, we also strongly recommend adding a minimum of 18”...

  • Page 17: Chimney Liner Installation

    2.8.1 Chimney liner installation To install of the chimney liner, the preferred methods are those found in Section 2.8.1.1. Use a liner offset adapter (Section 2.8.1.2) only as a last resort. 2.8.1.1 If the chimney liner does align with the insert’s flue outlet, you have two options: A) Install the chimney liner starter adapter, provided with the chimney liner.

  • Page 18: If The Chimney Liner Does Not Align With The Insert's Flue Outlet

    2.8.1.2 If the chimney liner does not align with the insert’s flue outlet: You can get a liner offset adapter (AC01370), sold separately. If you must install a liner offset adapter, using a powered driver, secure the three brackets with the three screws provided 30131 on top of the insert in the three holes in front of the flue outlet.

Square the insert to the face of the fireplace by adjusting the leveling legs on the sides at the rear of the insert. Check that the throat connector is in line. If there is space to push the connector down from above, do so.
  • Page 21 2.10 Baffle & brick installation CAUTION: Operation of your Osburn insert without the baffle may cause unsafe and hazardous temperature conditions and will void the warranty. NOTE: Before installing the firebrick, check to ensure that none are broken or damaged in any way. If so, have the damaged ones replaced.

  • Page 24: Operation

    Misuse is not covered by warranty. 4. Even though your Osburn 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 25: Fuel

    1. Fuel for the insert must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles and not in the space required for ash removal. 2. Your Osburn insert is designed to burn . Do not burn coal, charcoal, or ORDWOOD trash in the unit.

If it starts to burn on three sides within one minute, it is dry and seasoned and right for burning.

  • Page 27: Maintaining The Fire

    The Adjustment Range Should Not Be Altered For Increased Firing For Any Reason. Maintaining the fire Your Osburn 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 28: Fan Operation

    Refuelling technique is important for good performance. The best efficiency and performance from your insert can be achieved by adding partial loads of fuel and allowing them to get up to operating temperature before adding additional fuel. Adding a large amount of fuel at one time will increase the time required to get the fuel up to its ignition temperature, and an extended time to reach optimal performance.

  • Page 29: Maintenance

    4.0 MAINTENANCE 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 Gold surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance.

  • Page 30: Chimney Cleaning

    If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire. Call a professional chimney sweep, or go to your local Osburn dealer and purchase a chimney brush, and have the chimney cleaned.

  • Page 31: Secondary Air Tube Replacement (See Figure 4.5)

    Secondary air tube replacement (see Figure 4.5) 1. Remove cotter pin at LH end of tube. 2. Slide tube to right and lower tube end below LH plenum. 3. Slide tube to left to remove. 4. Reassemble in reverse order using a new cotter pin. The cotter pin is a hammerlock style and locks into place by hitting the head sharply with a hammer.
