  • Page 4: Safety Rules For Operating Your Fireplace

    SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATING YOUR FIREPLACE  Use only an Enerzone glass door, specifically designed for the model ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC.  We recommend that our wood burning hearth products be installed and serviced by professionals who are certified in the United States by NFI (National Fireplace ®...
  • Page 5 To receive full warranty coverage, you will need to show evidence of the date you purchased your unit. Keep your sales invoice. We also recommend that you register your warranty online at http://enerzone-intl.com/warranty-registration.aspx Registering your warranty online will help us track rapidly the information we need on your unit.

    2.  The ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC is not intended for use with a gas log. Failure to follow these instructions will void the certification and the warranty of the fireplace and may result in an unsafe installation.

  • Page 7: Operating The Enerzone Solution 2.5Zc

    Decorative fireplaces generally have larger, cooler, and less air-tight fireboxes. Your ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC, on the other hand, has a smaller, completely sealed firebox which attains much higher temperatures. It is therefore not designed to support excessive heat caused by the addition of chemicals in manufactured logs.

  • Page 8: First Fires

    Your ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC fireplace 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.

  • Page 9: Primary Air

    2.2.6 Primary Air There is no flue damper in the ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC. As in common with air tight stoves, the combustion air control sets the flow of air entering the firebox. This allows for a more precise control of the fire.

  • Page 10: Combustion Settings

    By this method, the ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC can produce up to 75,000 BTU of heat per hour. However, it will be necessary to reload with wood every one or two hours. This is the least efficient method of burning the ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC.

  • Page 11: Smoking  Causes And Troubleshooting

    As the fire burns, air goes up the chimney. This air must be replaced through leakage into the house or through the fresh air kit. When operating the ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC, open a nearby window temporarily to check if there is adequate air supply replacement.

  • Page 12: Maintaining Your Enerzone Solution 2.5Zc

    F. Do not allow the wood to smoulder or burn without flame, since this will produce excessive creosote in the unit. MAINTAINING YOUR ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC 2.3.1 Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal When wood is burned slowly without a flame, it produces tar and other organic vapours which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote.

  • Page 13: Fire Baffle Removal Prior To Cleaning The Chimney

    2.3.3 Fire Baffle Removal Prior to Cleaning the Chimney Before starting to clean your chimney, we recommend that you remove the fire baffle to avoid creosote dust collection on top of the baffle. Follow the steps below to remove the fire baffle: 1.

  • Page 14: Plated Finish Maintenance

    2.3.5 Plated Finish Maintenance Use a metal polish and a soft cloth to clean the plated finishes. Do not use abrasives such as steel wool, steel pads or an abrasive cleaner for they may scratch the finish. 2.3.6 Disposal of Ashes Do not attempt to clean the fireplace when the unit is hot.

  • Page 15: Glass Care - Replacement

    2.3.8 Glass Care – Replacement The two glasses used in the ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC are 5 mm thick and have the same dimension of 13.188" H x 11.875" W. They are tested to reach temperatures up to 1400º F. If a glass breaks, it must be replaced with one having the same specification.

  • Page 16: Glass Care - Cleaning

    2.3.9 Glass Care – Cleaning The ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC is designed to keep the glass clean under normal operating conditions. If the ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC is operated continuously with the combustion air controls closed, the glass will tend to get dirty unless the fuel, firebox and glass are maintained at higher temperatures.

    26". Note the floor construction and consult your local building code to determine if additional support is needed. C. The ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC may be installed directly on the floor or on a raised base (for proper guidelines, refer to “Heart Extension Requirements”) and a minimum of 7 feet (2.15 m) measured from the base of the appliance to the ceiling is required.

  • Page 18: Heart Extension Requirements

    2.4.2 Heart Extension Requirements The hearth extension floor area must extend at least 16" (40 cm) in front of the hearth and at least 8" (20 cm) on each side of the door opening (see figure 7). The joint between the hearth extension and the fireplace hearth needs to be made of non-combustible material such as sheet metal (not included) as shown on figure 8.
  • Page 19 When the fireplace is installed directly on the floor, a noncombustible floor protection in front of the unit must be installed and have an R value insulation equal to or greater than 1.00. 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.
  • Page 20 2.4.2.2 How to eliminate the need of a R value It is however possible to eliminate the R value by elevating the unit from 4'' above the floor (see Figure 9), but the joint between the extension of the hearth and the fireplace must be protected by a non-combustible material.

  • Page 27: Combustible Shelf

     Combustible shelf To install any combustible shelf, refer to figure 17 for a safe installation. For example, a shelf with a 6’’ depth (152 mm) must be installed at least 50" (127 cm) above the base of the fireplace. Different shelf dimensions are listed in figure 17 in order to facilitate installation. However, the minimum depth of the shelf is 6"...

    2.4.4 Blower connection The fan will come on as soon as the fireplace reaches its minimum start temperature. Have the wiring installed by a qualified electrician. Connect the wires from the power outlet to the terminal block, making sure that the white wire matches the white wire on the terminal. Connect the black wire with the black wire of the terminal block.

  • Page 31 The hot air grilles can be installed in the same room as the fireplace, or one or both of the grilles can be installed in adjacent or upper rooms. Installing the ducts at different elevations will tend to exhaust more heat out of the higher grilles (figure 23). Figure 22 Figure 23...

    2.5.2 Central Forced Air Kit (Not tested under EPA certification) The knock-outs provided on the back and on the sides of the ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC allow the connection of insulated flexible pipe which enables you to heat adjacent rooms up to 50 feet from the fireplace (see figure 26).
  • Page 33 D) Attach a flexible pipe to the fan’s air outlet and route the flexible pipe to the chosen location. The ducting system can be installed either in an upper room or in a lower room; E) At that point, the flexible pipe can be attached to any air distribution grille. F) Make the electrical connections to the PC Board as explained with the forced air kit owner’s manual.

  • Page 34: Fresh Air Kit (Optional)

    FRESH AIR KIT (OPTIONAL) During operation, the fireplace requires fresh air for combustion and draws air out of the house. It may starve other fuel burning appliances such as gas or oil furnaces. As well, exhaust fans may compete for air, causing negative pressure in the house, resulting in smoke entering the house from the fireplace.
