OPERATING THE FIREPLACE

USE SOLID NATURAL WOOD FUEL

Fuel -

This appliance is designed to burn dry

ONLY.

seasoned natural wood only (see Page 8 for a list of prohibited fuels). Failure to burn proper fuels only will void the certiﬁcation and the warranty of the appliance. Hardwoods

preferred to softwoods since the energy content of wood is relative to its density. Hardwoods will result in a longer burning ﬁre and less frequent refueling.

A moisture content of 15% to 20% (seasoned) is recommended. Wood that has been cut and split and let to dry under a cover for a period of one year will usually meet that criteria. The required drying time will vary depending on the climate. Wood that is packed tight together will take longer to dry. Seasoned wood is darker in color than wet wood and will have visible cracks in the grain on the ends.

Excessively wet wood

Excessively dry

DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER

Catalytic Combustor

This ﬁreplace is equipped with a catalytic combustor. Unburned by-products of the wood ﬁre are burned as they pass through the combustor resulting in less pollution, reduced creosote and higher efﬁciency. In order to have the catalyst working, temperatures of the ﬂue gases entering the combustor have to be higher than 500° F (260° C). That is why the unit is equipped with a CAT bypass damper that allows the draft air to bypass the catalytic combustor. Opening the CAT bypass damper control increases the draft allowing the unit to achieve proper operating temperatures during a cold start-up. It also provides more draft to prevent smoke spillage when the door is opened.

Catalytic CAT Bypass Gauge

To determine when to close the CAT bypass, the unit is equipped with a gauge (see Figure

1). Once you can see the gauge needle in the catalytic combustor operating range, you may push to close the CAT bypass lever, about 15-30 minutes after initial light-off.

When the catalyst light-off conditions are achieved, the combustor will keep on going until it runs out of smoke. Note that the catalyst does not need to be glowing to be working, it can work very well at temperatures well below the 538° C (1000° F) level at which it will begin to glow. The best way to see if the catalyst is active is to take a look at what is coming out of the chimney. If the catalytic combustor is working you will see some white water vapor coming out, compared to a more brown/gray smoke when the CAT bypass is opened. Do not burn any chemical chimney cleaner; it can make the catalyst inactive.

COMBUSTION CONTROLS

Primary Air Control

There is no ﬂue damper in the ﬁreplace. As is 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. The combustion air control is located below the door on the left side. The main source of air (primary air) entering the ﬁrebox can be diminished by moving the air combustion control from left to right. The primary air is fully opened when the air control is completely moved to the left.

Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design speciﬁcations can result in permanent damage to the heater.

First Fires

The ﬁrst ﬁve or six ﬁres should be small ﬁres of short duration (about 30 to 60 minutes).

This will help cure the refractory bricks.

the ﬁrst few ﬁres of this appliance there may be some odor and smoke due to the curing of the paint, dust accumulation and burning off of lubricants used in the manufacturing process

It may set off a smoke alarm located in the same room. For this reason the room should be well ventilated for the ﬁrst few ﬁres.

During

See Detail A

This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with the operating instructions in this manual.

Thermometer

Detail A

Figure 1

This manual describes the installation and operation of the IHP model Ladera™ CAT catalytic equipped wood heater. This heater meets the 2020 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s certiﬁed to comply with 2020 particulate emission standards using crib wood. Under speciﬁc test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from 10,900 to 35,600 Btu/hr.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

The combustion air control should be in the closed position when the ﬁreplace is not in use. This will minimize air leakage up the chimney.

The combustion air control and the CAT bypass damper control must be opened before opening the door to minimize the possibility of back draft coming into the room.

Accelerated Combustion

The maximum heat output for the Ladera™ CAT ﬁreplace is achieved by burning with the door closed and the combustion air opened. By this method, the Ladera CAT ﬁreplace can produce the maximum 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 Ladera CAT ﬁreplace.

Use caution when ﬁring with the combustion air control wide open. Only burn cord wood in this manner. Small dry pieces of softwood and construction scraps will burn very intensely using this method and may damage the ﬁrebox.

Medium Combustion

This is the recommended mode of operating the Ladera CAT ﬁreplace and should be the one normally used since it will deposit the least amount of creosote on the glass and in the chimney. The combustion air control must be 3/4 closed. The precise setting will depend on many factors, including chimney length and the moisture content of the wood.

For instance, a long chimney will necessitate closing the damper more. To obtain the proper combustion, close the damper completely, then open it about 1/4” to 1/2” (6.4mm to 13mm). Two medium size pieces of wood should be burning on a bed of hot coals. The heat output will be approximately 25,000 BTU per hour and the loading time will be about every 3-4 hours. Softwoods may be burned using this method but the burn time will be substantially reduced.

Slow Combustion

When the air combustion control is completely closed, the ﬁreplace is in a slow combustion phase. If the hearth is hot enough, slow combustion will not extinguish the ﬁre, but there will be a noticeable change in the ﬂame pattern. The ﬂames will be slow and may appear dirty if the wood is too wet (moisture content of 20% and more). Do not allow the wood to burn without ﬂame, since this will produce excessive creosote in the unit.

Creosote may accumulate on the glass door. This method of burning should be used only after operating the Ladera CAT ﬁreplace with the air control opened to produce a hot ﬁre for about an hour or at medium pace for at least three (3) hours. Slow combustion can be used at night in order to reduce the heat output and to prolong the burn. The loading time will be between 6-8 hours.

STARTING AND MAINTAINING A FIRE

Step 1. Place several crumpled up balls of

newspaper in the ﬁrebox. Place small dry pieces of kindling on top of the paper, criss-crossing the kindling so that there are air spaces in between. The kindling should be placed at the center of the ﬁrebox so as to allow for sufﬁcient air circulation.

Step 2. Adjust the primary air control into the OPEN position. Light the newspaper. Leave the door partially opened to facilitate the start-up.

Step 3. Once kindling ﬁre is well established, cord wood can be added. You may set the primary air control to the desired level (see Primary Air Combustion Control section for proper operation of the air controls). Close the door and maintain an accelerated combustion air set up in order to achieve combustor lightoff conditions.

Step 4. When the ﬁre is burning well, and you can see the gauge needle in the catalytic combustor operating range, close the CAT bypass damper control by pushing the control rod in. It takes about 15–30 minutes with the CAT bypass opened to reach proper light-off temperatures for the catalytic combustor.

Step 5. Set the primary control to the desired burn level. The ﬁreplace will automatically go to that level after the ﬁre is fully established.

The unit will burn best with 2-3 pieces of cord wood spaced 1 to 2 inches apart and allowing air to get under the fuel. Criss-crossing or arranging the fuel so that air can get underneath will help the ﬁre to get started easily. The unit should be operated with the air control fully open long enough to get the cord wood well ignited.

REFUELING FOR BEST PERFORMANCE

To refuel the ﬁreplace at the end of a burn cycle when only hot embers remain and ﬂames are gone (not enough heat to maintain catalyst

operating temperatures):

Step 1. Open the CAT Bypass fully (see Figure 5). Step 2. Completely open the air control level.

See Figure 2.

REFUELING: During the refueling and rekindling of a cool ﬁre, or a ﬁre that has burned down to the charcoal phase, operate the stove at a medium to high ﬁring rate for about 10 minutes to ensure that the catalyst reaches approximately 500°F.

Step 3. Open the door about 1” and wait 5

seconds until the air ﬂow has stabilized. Then open the door completely, put the logs in and close the door. Step 4. Set the air control to the desired burn level. Open the CAT bypass damper for 10 minutes before closing it. It will ensure sufﬁcient temperatures for combustor light-off.

To refuel the Ladera™ CAT ﬁreplace when the unit is still hot (some burning fuel remaining or a glowing combustor)

A. Open the air control and the CAT bypass

completely.

B. Open the door about 1” and wait 5 seconds

until the air ﬂow has stabilized. Load the fuel, close the door and CAT bypass (temperatures within the ﬁrebox should be enough to maintain catalytic operation).

C. Set the air control to the desired burn level.

NOTES:

• For spectacular ﬁre and optimization of the ﬁreplace efﬁciency, we recommend that the wood load be placed as far back as possible.

• It may be necessary to turn off any blower(s) in operation during the refueling process in order to minimise smoking in the room. It is recommended to wait 15 to 30 minutes before turning the blower back on to ensure successful rekindling.

SMOKING – CAUSES AND TROUBLESHOOTING

To reduce the likelihood of smoke coming into the room when opening the door, set the combustion air controls to the left (“Accelerated Combustion”) and open the CAT bypass before opening the door. Your ﬁreplace has been designed and tested to provide smoke free operation.

As the ﬁre burns, air goes up the chimney. This air must be replaced through the outside air duct. When operating the ﬁreplace, open a nearby window temporarily to check if there is adequate replacement air supply. Occasionally, there may be a small amount of smoking upon lighting the ﬁre, until the chimney heats up but this should not last. If the ﬁreplace continues to smoke it is probably for one of the following reasons:

A. The door is partially opened - When you

open the door, open them completely.

B. Negative pressure in the house

As the ﬁre burns, air goes up the chimney.

This air must be replaced through leakage into the house or through the outside air duct (included with ﬁreplace). When operating the ﬁreplace, open a nearby window temporarily to check if there is adequate replacement air supply.

C. Fans operating (e.g.: range hood)

These fans draw air out of the house and

may actually cause a negative pressure in the house. Turn off all fans and open a nearby window to determine if this is the cause of the problem.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

D. Wet wood

Wet or tarred wood will smoulder and smoke

instead of burning properly. Your dealer can help you determine if you have properly seasoned wood for burning.

E. Dirty or blocked chimney

Check to make sure the chimney is clear and

clean. If dirty call a certiﬁed chimney sweep or use a properly sized chimney brush to clean.

F. Chimney not long enough

The minimum chimney height is twelve

(12) feet (3.7 m) not including the ﬁreplace height. The chimney must extend at least three (3) feet (915 mm) above its point of contact with the roof and at least two (2) feet (610 mm) higher than any roof or wall within ten (10) feet (3 m) of it. When installed with offsets, the minimum chimney height is ﬁfteen (15) feet (4.6 m). Additional height will increase draft and will decrease the tendency to smoke.

G. Poor chimney draft

With no ﬁre, there should be sufﬁcient draft to

exhaust cigarette smoke introduced under the bafﬂe. Chimneys installed against an outside wall without protection or a basement installa tion may generate back draft problems which will cause start-up problems. To prevent this, open a nearby window, roll up a piece of paper and light it. Then, hold it in the upper part of the ﬁrebox to warm up the chimney. Wait until the draft is sufﬁcient, then start the ﬁre.

H. Blower for forced air kit operating - Make

sure that the blower is at the “off” position when you open the ﬁreplace door for reloading.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

A. Do not block any hot air vents from the

ﬁreplace as this will cause the ﬁreplace to overheat.

B. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern

fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter ﬂuid, or similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a ﬁre in this ﬁreplace. Keep all such liquids well away from the ﬁreplace while it is in use.

C. Do not burn coal. The sulphur in coal will

corrode the ﬁrebox.

D. Do not burn driftwood which has been in the

ocean or salt water. The salt will corrode the ﬁrebox and chimney.

E. Do not operate the unit with the door partly

open since this may cause smoke to be drawn into the room.

F. Do not burn wood in the area in front of the

andirons.

G. Do not abuse the unit by burning paper, or

cardboard or construction material such as pressed wood, plywood or lumber. Wood protectors, metallic paper, coal, plastic, waste, sulphur and/or oil will damage the ﬁreplace.

H. Do not allow the wood to smoulder or burn

without ﬂame, since this will produce excessive creosote in the unit

increased particulate emissions.

as well as

SMOKE DETECTORS RECOMMENDED

Since there are always several potential sources of ﬁre in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional false activation from the heat produced by these appliances). If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with your local building department for requirements in your area.

CARBON MONOXIDE MONITOR RECOMMENDED

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of

carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the ﬂu with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these symptoms, obtain fresh air immediately. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others, including pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the inﬂuence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

It is against federal regulations to operate wood heaters in a manner inconsistent with the operating instructions in the manual.

Dealing With a Chimney Fire

Regular chimney maintenance and inspection can prevent chimney ﬁres. If you have a chimney ﬁre, follow these steps:

1. Close the ﬁreplace door and the combustion air controls.

2. Alert your family of the possible danger.

3. If you require assistance, alert your ﬁre department.

4. If possible, use a dry chemical ﬁre extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the ﬁre. Do not use water as it may cause a dangerous steam explosion.

5. Check outside to ensure that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting the roof.

6. Do not use the ﬁreplace again until your chimney and ﬁreplace have been inspected by a qualiﬁed chimney sweep or a Fire Department Inspector.

ACHIEVING CLEAN BURNS

Check the exhaust after engaging the catalyst (see Figure 6). Large amounts of smoke indicate an improper burn setting (either too high, or too low of a temperature to operate the catalyst). Adjust and recheck in 5 to 10 minutes.

Figure 6

WHAT DOES “WELL-SEASONED” MEAN?

When a tree is cut down, the wood is green, full of sap and moisture. This moisture content can exceed 80%, which must be reduced to less than 20%. Wood properly seasoned is then capable of generating the heat the stove was designed to provide.

Green wood does not burn easily. Attempting to burn green wood often results in a lot of smoke and very little ﬁre. Time is the most important factor in seasoning wood. Ideally the moisture content should be reduced to 11-20%. NOTE:

The use of a ﬁrewood moisture meter is rec ommended to ensure the ﬁrewood contains less than 20% moisture.

Seasoning Guide

Softwoods - 6 months to 18 months Hardwoods - 12 months to 24 months

Logs that are 5” diameter across or larger should be split in half, three pieces if over 8 inches, and four pieces when over a foot across. If a tree has been dead for 2 - 4 years it still needs to be cut, split, and seasoned for 6 to 24 months depending on the wood.

MAINTAINING YOUR FIREPLACE

Have your product inspected at least once a year by a qualiﬁed service technician to ensure gaskets, air tubes, bafﬂes, and venting are in good repair to ensure proper performance. Have degraded items replaced by a qualiﬁed service technician.

This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper operation. Consult the owner’s manual for further information. It is against federal regulations to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with the operating in this manual.

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 slow-burning ﬁre. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ﬂue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot ﬁre.

The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a year during the heating season to determine when a creosote buildup has occurred.

When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney ﬁre.

When the creosote accumulation is large, a creosote ﬁre in the chimney can damage the chimney and overheat the surrounding wood framing. Creosote formation in a chimney can be minimized by making sure there is always visible ﬂame burning, avoid smouldering ﬁres and by proper refuelling techniques.

Chimney Maintenance

Regular chimney inspection and maintenance combined with proper operation will prevent chimney ﬁres. Keep your chimney clean. Do not allow more than 1/16” (1.6 mm) creosote build up in your chimney. The amount of creosote will depend on variables such as frequency of use and type of ﬁre. We recommend that you: A. Initially inspect the chimney system weekly.

From this, you will learn how often it will be necessary to clean your chimney.

B. Have your chimney cleaned by a qualiﬁed

chimney sweep. If you wish to clean it yourself, we recommend using a stiff plastic or non-metallic brush. If a metal brush is used, its size should be slightly smaller than the ﬂue to avoid damaging the chimney. Do not use a brush that will scratch the stainless steel interior of the chimney.

C. Do not expect chemical cleaners to keep

your chimney clean. The rain cap can be removed for inspection and/or cleaning of the chimney.

Before performing chimney sweep, open the CAT bypass and remove the combustor. Remove dust accumulation after chimney sweep and put the combustor back in place.

CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR

This ﬁreplace is designed with a catalytic combustor which will reduce pollution emissions and creosote build up while improving thermal efﬁciency. In order to optimize and maintain the combustor performance, it is important to visually check the combustor at least 3 times during the heating season to determine if physical degradation has occurred.

Catalytic combustors require little maintenance. Cleaning the combustor once a year, preferably when your ﬂue system is serviced, is sufﬁcient for most users.

WARNING

To prevent damage to your combustor, do not:

• Drop the combustor (which is fragile compared to the rest of the unit – so handle with care)

• Run water or compressed air through the combustor

• Try to clean the combustor with any sharp tool

The combustor supplied with this heater is a Healthy Hearth Combustor. Consult the catalytic combustor warranty also supplied with this wood heater. Warranty claims should be addressed to:

The packaging of the combustor must be robust enough to protect against any ship ping damage that may occur.

Catalyst Monitoring

It is important to periodically monitor the operation of the catalytic combustor to ensure that it is functioning properly and to determine when it needs to be replaced. A non-functioning combustor will result in a loss of heating efﬁciency, and an increase in creosote and emissions. Following is a list of items that should be checked on a periodic basis:

• Combustors should be visually inspected at least three times during the heating season to determine if physical degradation has occurred. Actual removal of the combustor is not recommended unless more detailed inspection is warranted because of decreased performance.

If any of these conditions exists, refer to Cata-

lyst Troubleshooting section of this owner’s manual.

• This catalytic heater is equipped with a temperature probe to monitor catalyst operation. Properly functioning combustors typically maintain temperatures in excess of 500°F, and often reach temperatures in excess of 1,000°F. If catalyst temperatures are not in excess of 500°F, refer to Catalyst Troubleshooting section of this owner’s manual.

• You can get an indication of whether the catalyst is working by comparing the amount of smoke leaving the chimney when the smoke is going through the combustor and catalyst light-off has been achieved, to the amount of smoke leaving the chimney when the smoke is not routed through the combustor (CAT bypass mode).

CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem Condition Solution

Ash Build-up on Combustor Surface Normal Ash, a ﬂuffy light gray powder, and soot, accumulate on the com-

bustor surfaces in normal use. Ashes accumulate as a result of the smoke being burned within the combustor and carried out of the ﬁrebox by the chimney draft. Soot is the result of previous creosote deposits having been burned off or foreign materials being burned in the ﬁrebox. This is normal and will be eliminated during the next burn.

Combustor Clogging Creosote Combustor should be cleaned (see Page 11). Do not use air pres-

sure or sharp objects to clean combustor.

Broken Combustor Crack or Break The combustor is manufactured from a ceramic material and there-

fore can crack or break. However, the combustor will still function if cracked. If combustor is broken into pieces and dis-lodged from the housing, it will need to be replaced.

Combustor Malfunction Not Working The combustor should last a minimum of 10,000 hours of opera-

tion. The combustor will lose catalytic capability over time. When you see continuous smoke coming from the chimney, the combustor should be cleaned. If the smoking persists, the combustor should be replaced.

Combustor Problem Thermal Erosion This combustor does NOT experience thermal erosion. “Not ap-

plicable.” Applies to honeycomb combustors only.

Combustor Problem Thermal Cracking This combustor does NOT experience thermal cracking. “Not ap-

plicable.” Applies to honeycomb combustors only.

Combustor Problem Combustor Peeling This combustor does NOT experience combustor peeling. “Not

applicable.” Applies to honeycomb combustors only.

Reduced Combustor Performance Combustor Clogging or Fatigue Signs of combustor fatigue include reduced heat output and slug-

gish performance. Inspect and clean combustor. Replacement may be required. Monitor performance and smoke coming from chimney.

Combustor not glowing Late stage of burn Combustor does not need to be glowing to be working. Check

smoke exiting chimney to help determine if combustor is working properly.

Appliance burning too hot or fast Doors are not properly closed. Close doors securely. Check door gasket.

Excessive draft Adjust primary air control to lower setting.

Back-pufﬁng or sudden internal ignitions Operating technique Open bypass and primary air control before opening to reload and

keep it open a few minutes after reloading.

Burn rate too low Open air damper to allow for hotter burn.

Chimney down draft In high wind areas, a specially designed wind cap may be neces-

sary.

Combustor or louvered housing plugged Clean combustor / louvered housing of accumulated ﬂy ash.

Appliance Smokes Operating technique Open bypass and air damper prior to reloading appliance.

Blocked Chimney Examine chimney and vent pipe for blockage and creosote accumu-

lations. Check spark arrestor screen on your cap, if you have one.

Blocked outside air duct Check the outside air inlet for blockage caused by snow, debris, or

insects.

Healthy Combustor - Unused

Combustor Problem - Broken Combustor

The intense heat of the ﬁre will normally cause hairline cracks in the refractory. These cracks can be minimized by proper curing as described in “First Fires”. They will not normally diminish the effectiveness of the refractory. If large cracks develop, then the refractory should be replaced. To replace the refractory bricks, follow these steps (see Figure 10):

1. Remove the bottom refractory

2. Remove the front refractories

3. Remove the left side refractory

4. Remove the right side refractory

5. Remove the back refractory

6. Remove the front ceramic bafﬂe

7. Remove the rear ceramic bafﬂe To install the new refractories, follow the above

steps in reverse.

DISPOSING OF ASHES

Combustor Problem - Cracked Combustor

Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your ﬁrebox, and when the ﬁre has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the ﬁrebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.

Remove ashes only when the ﬁre is out and the ashes are cold (24 to 48 hours after the ﬁre is out).

Do not leave the ashes in the house as they give off carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.

WARNING

Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should be placed in a steel container with a tight ﬁtting lid and moved

outdoors immediately. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible ﬂoor or on the ground well away from all combustible materials, pending ﬁnal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

DOOR REMOVAL

To remove the door, simply pull the door up from the hinges (see Figure

11). The door adjustment has been set at the factory. If the ﬁt is still not

perfect, you can adjust the door using the hinge screws.

Figure 11 - Door Installation

DOOR ADJUSTMENT

The door may need to be adjusted to be completely airtight. The gaskets’ air-tightness can be adjusted using two adjustment screws located on the right side of the ﬁreplace facade (An Allen key #1/8 – not supplied - will be necessary for this adjustment).

Checking Door Seal

A one-inch strip of paper may be used to perform a test of the integrity of the door seal. Close the door on the paper in at least eight points. It is normal to feel only a slight amount of friction. The door gasket does not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is not hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your ﬁreplace.

GLASS CARE

Glass Replacement

The glass used for the Ladera™ CAT ﬁreplace is a high temperature ceramic glass (1,400° F / 760° C). If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with an identical ceramic glass. Tempered glass or ordinary glass will not withstand the high temperatures of the Ladera CAT ﬁreplace. Replacement glass should be purchased from a IHP dealer (see “Replacement Parts”, Page 28).

DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS.

Glass Cleaning

The Ladera CAT ﬁreplace is designed to keep the glass clean under normal operating conditions. If the Ladera CAT ﬁreplace 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 hot temperatures (see “Refueling For Best Performance”). To clean the glass, there are a number of specially designed cleaners. Your IHP dealer can recommend a suitable cleaner which is available in your area. Regular household glass cleaners will not clean creosote. Do not use abrasives such as

steel pads, steel wool or oven cleaner as they will scratch the glass.

DO NOT USE CHEMICAL GLASS CLEANERS ON PAINTED SURFACES AS IT MAY CAUSE THE PAINT TO PEEL.

Hinges Adjustment

WARNING

• Use only a IHP glass door, speciﬁcally designed for the Ladera™ CAT ﬁreplace.

The ﬁreplace cannot be operated without door.

•

Consult your dealer to select the correct replacement door.

• Important! To assure proper alignment of glass door: Install this ﬁreplace in a square and plumb condition, using shims as necessary at sides and/or bottom.

CAUTION : DO NOT ALLOW WINDOW CLEANER TO GET IN CONTACT WITH DOOR GASKET OR PAINT ON FACADE OR DOOR. ONCE CLOSED, CONTACT OF GLASS CLEANER WITH THE FIREPLACE FACADE CAN PROVOKE PAINT PEELING OFF.

Gasket Replacement

Remove the door from the unit (see Page 12) and lay it on a clean unabrasive surface. To replace the gasket, ﬁrst remove all of the old gasket and gasket cement. Make sure that the surface is totally clean before applying new cement (a high temperature silicone caulking rated at 500° F [260° C], is suitable) or adhesion problems may result. Apply gasket cement to the gasket channel and install the new gasket. This replacement part is available from your IHP dealer in the following dimensions:

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Locating The Fireplace

The best location to install your ﬁreplace is determined by considering the location of windows, doors, and the trafﬁc ﬂow in the room where the ﬁreplace is located, allowing space in front of the unit for the hearth extension and the mantel, and taking into consideration the location of the hot air ducts (optional), outside air kit (included with ﬁreplace) and chimney. If possible, you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through the house without cutting ﬂoor or roof joists (see ﬁreplace dimensions Page 15).

Usually, no additional ﬂoor support is needed for the ﬁreplace. The adequacy of the ﬂoor can be checked by ﬁrst estimating the weight of the ﬁreplace system. Weights are given on Page 28. Note the ﬂoor construction and consult your local building code to determine if additional support is needed.

Location Recommended

Marginal Location

Wind Direction

This ﬁreplace may be installed directly on the ﬂoor or on a raised base (for proper guidelines, refer to “Hearth Extension Requirements”) and a minimum of 6’8” (2 m) measured from the base of the appliance to the ceiling is required.

When selecting the location, the chimney outlet position and the direction of the wind are important factor affecting the chimney performance. To allow a maximum draft and to reduce wind turbulence, the chimney must:

• Penetrate the highest part of the roof.

• Be installed as far as possible of roof offsets, trees or any other obstructions that may cause wind turbulence and back drafts in the chimney.

• The least amount of offsets (elbows) possible. NOTE: A maximum of

2 offsets is allowed.

Optional Cast Facade installation

Install the Facade per instructions provided in Facade Kit (ordered separately - see Page 27).

Framing, Facing And Mantel

The construction of the framing, facing, and mantel must be in accordance with the stan dards and the following illustrations (Figures

16 and 17):

A. Frame the ﬁreplace using 2” x 3” or heavier

lumber.

B. WARNING: Combustible materials can-

not be used in the space directly above the ﬁreplace, except for the studs above the facade that support the facing and mantel. This area must remain empty for a height of 6’8” (2,032 mm) mea sured from the base of the appliance.

C. Frame the ﬁreplace with vertical studs at the

sides of the ﬁreplace running from ﬂoor to ceiling (see Figure 16). If combustible facing is to be used, position the studs back, from the front edge of the ﬁreplace (a space that is the thickness of the facing material, so that the facing can be installed ﬂush with the ﬁreplace facing). Frame headers between the vertical studs only as follows:

• Place 2” x 3” or 2” x 4” headers, only along the upper part of the front, side and back faces (some codes may require a 2” x 6” on an outside bearing wall). Do not put wood or any combustible material within the area above the ﬁreplace except on the front facing.

• Place headers only as required to sup port the facing and mantel.

D. WARNING: The ﬁreplace must not be in

contact with any insulation or loose ﬁll ing material. Cover the insulation with drywall panels around the ﬁreplace.

HEARTH EXTENSION REQUIREMENTS

The Ladera™ CAT ﬁreplace may be installed directly on a combustible ﬂoor. The supplied safety metal strip must be positioned as follows: One half under the front of the ﬁreplace and the other half must extend on the ﬂoor over which the hearth extension will be built (see Figure 14).

* The safety metal strip must cover the entire width of the ﬁreplace

The combustible ﬂoor in front of the ﬁreplace must be covered with at least a 1/2 inch of non-combustible material (tile, marble, stone, etc). See Figure 15.

COLD CLIMATE INSTALLATIONS

Climates where temperatures will fall below 32° F (0° C).

The heating performance of the appliance will vary depending upon the level of insulation, house design, how the appliance is operated, etc.

If this ﬁreplace is being installed in a cold climate, it is especially important to seal all cracks around the ﬁreplace and wherever cold air could enter the room with noncombustible material.

WARNING: THE HEARTH EXTENSION IS TO BE INSTALLED ONLY

Fireplace

The crack between the ﬁreplace and the hearth extension must be sealed with a non-combustible material such as sand-cement grout.

8. Do not use insulated ﬂexible ducts as they will overheat.

9. Do not use tees or any other components than the ones speciﬁcally listed here.

10. Never allow the ducting to pitch down as hot air will be trapped creating a ﬁre hazard.

Never route the ducting downwards.

11. The hot air outlet grills must be installed with the louvers pointing downwards in order to prevent overheating adjacent ceilings.

Central Forced Air Kit

NOTE: Not tested under EPA certiﬁcation. If installed, this appliance no longer qualiﬁes

for EPA certiﬁcation.

The knock-outs provided on the back and on the sides of the Ladera™ CAT ﬁreplace allow the connection of insulated ﬂexible pipe which enables you to heat adjacent rooms up to 50 feet from the ﬁreplace hot air outlet.

The ducting system must be installed as described below:

A) Remove knock-out plate and cut insulation

the adaptor at the back and/or the side of the ﬁreplace. Fix the adaptor by twist-locking it to the ﬁreplace. You can use more than one outlet on the ﬁreplace (see Figure 26).

B) Attach the 5” ﬂexible pipe, using the collars

provided. Important: Make sure that the

plastic wrapping around the ﬂexible pipe will not be in contact with the ﬁreplace.

C) Route the ﬂexible pipe to the chosen location.

The ducting system can be installed either in an upper room or in a lower room.

D) Attach the ﬂexible pipe to the blower, using

the collars (Figure 27).

E) Fix the back draft damper to the blower

outlet.

F) Attach a ﬂexible pipe to the fan / ﬂexible pipe

adapter (square to round) and stretch it up to the location where the heat is required.

G) At that point, the ﬂexible pipe can be attached

to any air distribution grill.

H) Install the blower heating and cooling ther-

mostat (HCTW) in that part of the house to be heated by the hot air duct. The thermostat can be switched to a cooling thermostat and installed in the same room as the unit. This thermostat will turn on the blower when the room where the ﬁreplace is located becomes too hot.

This option requires electricity. Make sure that the connections to the blower have been made according to the local codes and comply with their requirements (see instruction provided with the thermostat). For more information regarding central forced and ducting, refer to the BISFWK-1 installation sheet provided with the kit.

DRAFT REQUIREMENTS

Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the catalytic combustor. Inadequate draft may cause backpufﬁng into the room and `plugging’ of the chimney or the catalyst.

Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints.

An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.

THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM

8. If the chimney extends higher than ﬁve (5) feet (1,500 mm) above its point of contact with the roof, it must be secured using a roof brace.

9. A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney. Failure to install a rain cap may cause corrosion problems.

10. Cut and frame square holes in all ﬂoors, ceilings, and roof that the chimney will go through to provide a 2” (50 mm) clearance between the chimney and any combustible materials. Do not ﬁll this 2” space with insulation or any other combustible material.

11. Portions of the chimney which may extend through accessible spaces must be enclosed to avoid contact with combustible materials or damage to the chimney.

12. When offsets are used, the pipe may not penetrate a ceiling or ﬂoor unless it is running vertical (no 30° offsets).

Chimney Installation Notes

1. This appliance is equipped with a universal vent collar that will require the ﬁrst vent section of pipe to be secured with four screws to the collar (equally spaced around circumference).

2. If possible, install an interior chimney as it will provide better perfor mance. In areas with continuous temperatures below -18° C (0° F), the use of an exterior chimney increases the likelihood of operating problems such as low draft, high rate of creosoting, and poor start-up characteristics. Exterior chimneys are also prone to down-draft and ﬂow reversal. Installations, which are located on lower ﬂoors in the house, such as in a basement, in combination with outside chimney, are especially prone to ﬂow reversal.

3. The IHP ﬁreplace model Ladera™ CAT may be installed only with Security Chimneys

model DuraTech® DTC chimney systems**.

may also be installed with a 7’’ chimney system (ASHT

6” diameter chimney systems

The Ladera CAT ﬁreplace

or DuraVent

or HT6103*)

using the optional 6AW7* 7’’ adaptor (7’’ AC chimney is not allowed). For more information refer to chimney installation manual.

4. A chimney venting a ﬁreplace shall not vent any other appliance.

5. The minimum chimney height is twelve (12) feet (3.7 m). In altitude, add 18” (450 mm) to the chimney for every 2,000 feet (600 m) above sea level.

6. All chimney

installations must include at least one support. Re-

ducing the amount of chimney weight on the ﬁreplace will help avoid the noise created when the ﬁreplace expands. This can be achieved by having the chimney supported by the supports. The maximum chimney length that can be supported by the ﬁreplace is nine (9) feet (2.75 m) for S-2100+/HT6000+, twelve (12) feet (3.7 m) for ASHT+ / HT6103+

/ DuraTech DTC

and 26 feet (8 m) for AC chimney.

7. The chimney must extend at least three (3) feet (915 mm) above its point of contact with the roof and at least two (2) feet (610 mm) higher than any wall, roof or building within ten (10) feet (3m) of it (Figure 30).

NOTE: 2" clearance to combustibles around chimney components required.

NOTE: Blown or ﬁll type insulation materials must not be in contact with

the ﬁreplace or in the enclosure frame as described in ‘’Enclosure’’ section.

NOTE: Local codes may not require ﬁrestopping at the ceiling levels for outside chase installations. However, it is recommended for safety and the reduction of heat loss.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut and frame the holes in the ceiling, ﬂoor and roof where the chimney will pass (see Figure 31). Use a plumb-bob to line up the center of the holes. The sizes are indicated in Table 2 for the ﬂoor and ceiling holes and Table 3 (Page 22) for the roof holes.

2. From below, install a ﬁrestop in each ceiling/ ﬂoor separation through which the chimney will pass. At the attic level, install an attic radiation shield from above (Figure 32a).

3. For ASHT+ and S2100+

/ HT6103+* / DuraTech DTC**

/ HT6000+* chimneys place

the ﬁrst chimney length on the ﬁreplace. Secure it to the collar with four screws equally spaced around the perimeter. With the AC chimney, you must use a starter section before installing the ﬁrst chimney length (Figure 33). Continue installing chimney lengths making sure to lock each length in place.

4. Every time the chimney passes through a ceiling or a wall, install the appropriate ﬁrestop. When you reach the desired height, install the roof support. When installing a support, slightly lift the chimney system so the weight will lie on the support, not on the ﬁreplace to reduce expansion noises (Refer to instructions included with the support).

5. Then, put the roof ﬂashing in place and seal the joint between the roof and the ﬂashing with rooﬁng pitch (see Figures 34 and 35). For sloping roofs, place the ﬂashing under the upper shingles and on top of the lower shingles. Nail the ﬂashing to the roof, using rooﬁng nails.

6. Place the spacers and the storm collar over the ﬂashing, and tighten it with the bolt supplied. Finally, seal the joint between the storm collar and the chimney, using silicone caulking.

7. Install the chimney cap. Once the chimney cap is in place, the roof ﬂashing can be washed with a solvent or vinegar and then painted with rust-proof paint.

CHIMNEY SUPPORT INSTALLATION

Universal Roof Support

When installing a support, slightly lift the chimney system so the weight will lie on the support, not on the ﬁreplace to reduce expansion noises.

This support has three possible uses:

1. For ASHT+ / HT6103+ and S-2100+ / HT6000+, it must be used on a roof to support the chimney*.

2. It may be used on a ﬂoor, ceiling or roof above an offset to support the chimney above the offset.

3. It may be used on a ﬂoor, ceiling or roof as a supplementary support.

Table 6 gives maximum height of supported chimney.

NOTE: For the AC chimney*, a support section must be used every forty

(40) feet (12 m) instead of the universal roof support (ST*).

For roof support installation, refer to the instructions provided with the support.

Universal Offset Support

This support is used to support the chimney above an offset. When the chimney offset is used to traverse a wall this support may be used on the wall to support the chimney. The maximum heights are given in Table 6. For offset support installation, refer to the instructions provided with the support.

CHIMNEY CHASE AND MULTIPLE TERMINATIONS

For the purpose of this manual, a chimney chase is considered a part of the chimney system rather than part of a building. The termination must be placed a minimum of 18” (460 mm) above the chase.

For installations where more than one chimney is located in the same chase or within the same area, we suggest that their terminations be separated by at least 16” (410 mm) horizontally, and 18” (460 mm) vertically. This separation is to prevent smoke migrating from one chimney to another (see Figure 40).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MASONRY APPLICATION

Follow these steps:

WARNING: Before starting the installation, the masonry chimney must be inspected by a qualiﬁed chimney sweep.

The following requirements must be respected:

1. The chimney must be absolutely clear of any soot residue or creosote. Check for cracks, loose or missing bricks that could inhibit correct installation of the liner.

2. The clearance to combustible must be a minimum of 1” between the outside of the masonry and any wood framing or loose insulation.

3. The chimney must be built in accordance with the current building code.

4. No other appliance can be connected to the same chimney.

5. The clearances to combustible for these ﬁreplace connectors are 2” on the side and bottom and 16” at the top.

6. The connector parts are not necessary if the connection between the insulated length and the stainless steel liner is done within the masonry chimney.

Installation:

The chimney must be relined with a stainless steel liner model Tubinox or Projet

SS* of the same diameter as the outlet of the ﬁreplace. If a

stainless steel liner is used, see note below**.

For connection at a 30º angle, a special connector (BISUMA30

) must be

used to connect the liner to the insulated chimney.

* IMPORTANT NOTE - The use of a 45º connector (BISUMA

) is ap-

proved for use in Canada ONLY. Installations in the USA must use the 30º connector (BISUMA30

Alternate brand rigid stainless liner or stainless ﬂex may be substituted but

must be listed to UL-1777 for US application and ULC-S635 for existing masonry or ULC-S640M for new masonry applications in Canada. The steel rigid or ﬂex liner must be rated at 2100º F (1100º C).

1. Position the ﬁreplace in its location. Temporarily install the ASHT+* elbow on the top of the ﬁreplace and, using a level, mark with an oval the location where the ﬂue liner will enter the masonry chimney.

2. In the middle of the oval, drill a hole in the masonry chimney at 30º.

3. Increase the size of the hole until a 30º Tubinox

liner elbow can be

easily slipped through.

4. Slide the liner down from the top of the masonry chimney until you reach the hole level.

5. Slip through the hole a 30º liner elbow and connect it to the liner.

6. Add a small liner section to the liner elbow which will allow the liner to extend at least 12” (measured at the top of the liner) from the masonry chimney.

7. Seal the opening around the liner with high temperature refractory cement.

8. The next steps must be done in the following order:

See typical installation illustrated below.

A. Select the ASHT+* length that will ﬁt between the elbow and the liner

so that it will slide at least 2” over the liner section (You may need to cut the liner for a better ﬁt).

B. Take that section and the BISUMA30

cover and slide it over the liner.

Make sure you have enough opening to be able to install the ASHT+ elbow without difﬁculty.

C. Install the 30º elbow on the ﬁreplace. D. Slide the length section back down on the elbow and twist lock the

two together.

E. Pull the cover down over the length and install the insulation pad over

the liner; be careful to cover the liner completely.

F. Slide back the cover over the insulation and ﬁx it in place using the 3

metal screws supplied.
