Listings & Safety Cautions; Installation Materials Needed; Venting System Overview - Quadra-Fire 2100 Millennium Owner's Manual

R
These installation instructions describe the installation and
operation of the QUADRA-FIRE 2100 Millennium woodstove.
This stove meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
1990 particulate emission standards. The 2100 Millenium is
listed by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. to UL Safety Standard
1482, and ULC S627, and (UM) 84-HUD. The 2100 Millennium
is approved for mobile home installations when not installed
in a sleeping room and when an outside combustion air inlet
is provided. The structural integrity of the mobile home floor,
ceiling, and walls must be maintained. The stove must be
properly grounded to the frame of the mobile home and use only
listed double-wall connector pipe. Outside Air Kit, part 831-1780
must be installed in a mobile home installation.
Check with your local building code agency before you begin
your installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including
the need for permits and follow-up inspections. Be sure local
building codes do not supersede UL specifications and always
obtain a building permit so that insurance protection benefits
cannot be unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required
during installation, please contact your local dealer.
Inspect and clean vent system frequently in accordance with the
instructions contained in this manual. Do not connect this unit
to a chimney serving another appliance.
When using optional Blower, part 831-1701, route power cord
away from unit. Do not route cord under or in front of appliance.
Do not elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on firebrick.
Do not overfire - if heater or chimney connector glows, you are
overfiring. Stove thermometer recommended.
Operate only with the door closed. Open only to add fuel to
the fire. Operating with the door open can cause hot embers or
sparks to fall out and a fire may result.
INSTALLATION MATERIALS NEEDED FOR SAFETY
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (also known as flue pipe or stove
pipe): The chimney connector joins the stove to the chimney
(see page 9). It must be 6" (152mm) minimum diameter 24
MSG black or blued steel, or an approved air-insulated double
wall venting pipe.
THIMBLE: A manufactured or site-constructed device installed in
combustible walls through which the chimney connector passes
to the chimney (see pages 10-11). It is intended to keep the
walls from igniting.
CHIMNEY SYSTEMS:
A. APPROVED MASONRY (see specifications on page 9) with
at least 5/8" (16mm) fire clay lining joined with refractory
cement or other listed system suitable for use with wood
stoves.
B. PREFABRICATED 6" (152mm) listed high temperature (UL
103 HT or ULC S629M) chimney. Components required by
manufacturers for installation such as the chimney support
base, firestop (as appropriate), attic insulation shield,
insulated tee, etc., are necessary to assure a safe chimney
installation. Use only components manufactured for the
chimney. Chimney installation should meet NFPA 211
standards.

LISTINGS & SAFETY CAUTIONS
FIRE SAFETY: To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should
be given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home
to ensure your safety. They should be located away from the
heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas. Follow
the smoke detector manufacturer's placement and installation
instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly.
2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend with
small fires resulting from burning embers.
3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape
routes.
4. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:
In the event of a chimney fire:
A.
B.
C.
D.
The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney.
These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures inside the
chimney may exceed 2000°F (1100°C) in the event of a creosote
fire. To protect against the possibility of a house fire, the chimney
connector and chimney must be properly installed and maintained.
An approved thimble must be used when a connection is made
through a combustible wall to a chimney. A chimney support package
must be used when a connection is made through the ceiling
to a prefabricated chimney. These accessories are absolutely
necessary to provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling
material. Follow venting manufacturer's clearances when installing
venting system.
This stove may be connected to a lined masonry chimney or a listed
high temperature prefabricated approved metal chimney. Do not
connect it to a chimney serving another appliance. To do so will
affect the safe operation of both appliances.
