"Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
beplacedonanoncombustibleoororontheground,
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."
"WHEN USING THE DECORATIVE APPLIANCE, THE
FIREPLACE DAMPER MUST BE SET IN THE FULLY
OPEN POSITION."
"Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kero-
sene,charcoallighteruid,orsimilarliquidstostart
or ’freshen up’ a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such
liquids well away from the fireplace while it is in use."
Use SOLID WOOD only for fuel. It is best to use dry
and well seasoned hardwood. Softwoods tend to burn
very quickly. DO NOT use treated wood, charcoal, coal,
trash, driftwood or woods that have been dipped in tar,
pitch, pine tar, creosote, etc. Wood products made
with synthetic binders, such as plywood, produce abnormally high temperatures and sputtering, smoking
fires. When burning artificial logs, please read and
follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Never burn treated construction lumber or scraps.
These woods burn excessively hot and may contain
chemicals used to treat insects and fungus. When
burned, these chemicals can pose a significant hazard.
WARNING: BURNING IMPROPER FUEL (I.E.
CHARCOAL) CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING, WHICH MAY LEAD TO DEATH!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning – Early signs of carbon
monoxidepoisoningresembletheuwithheadaches,
dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, get
fresh air at once! Have the appliance inspected by a
qualified service technician. Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others. These
include pregnant women, people with heart or lung
diseaseoranemia,thoseundertheinuenceofalcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Ventilation Requirements - Provide adequate air for
combustion. The fresh air requirements of this appliance must be met within the space where it will
be installed.
Smoke Detectors - 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 the appliance). 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.
"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 ue of a slow-burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on
theuelining.Whenignitedthiscreosotemakesan
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 (1/8" [3 mm] or more) it shall be removed
to reduce the risk of a chimney fire."

SELECTING LOCATION
To determine safest and most efficient location for fireplace, you
must take into consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clearances (see below).
2. Consider a location where the fireplace will not be affected by
drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will
make installation easier.
4. If an outside air kit is to be installed, accessibility to outside
combustion air must be considered. This can also be achieved
through a vented crawl space in some cases (see Optional
Outside Air Kit on page 7).
5. If gas line is to be installed, consider location of gas supply.

HEARTH EXTENSION
A hearth extension projecting a minimum of 20" in front of and a
minimum of 12" beyond each side of fireplace opening is required
to protect combustible floor construction in front of fireplace. Fabricate a hearth extension using a material which meets the following
specifications: a layer of noncombustible, inorganic material having
a thermal conductivity of k = .84 BTU IN/FT2 HR °F (or less) at 1"
thick. For example, if material selected has a k factor of 0.25, such
as glass fiber, the following formula would apply:
0.25 x 1.0" = 0.30" thickness required
0.84
Thermal conductivity "k" of materials can be obtained from manufacturer or supplier of noncombustible material. If hearth extension
is to be covered, use noncombustible material such as tile, slate,
brick, concrete, metal, glass, marble, stone, etc. Provide a means to
prevent hearth extension from shifting and seal gap between fireplace
frame and hearth extension with a non-combustible material such
as sand-cement grout (see Figure 3, page 5).

VENTING INSTALLATION
OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR KIT (MODELS AK4 OR AK4F)
The installation of an outside air kit should be performed during
the rough framing of the fireplace due to the nature of it’s
location. Outside combustion air is accessed through and exterior
wall (AK4) or a vented crawl space (AK4F). See Figure 8 and
Accessories on page 16.
Avoid installing outside air eyebrow in areas where inlet opening
may be blocked by snow, bushes or other obstacles. It should also
be located beyond the reach of children.
CAUTION: Combustion air inlet ducts shall not
terminate in attic space.
The maximum height for the air vent can not exceed
3feetbelowtheuegasoutletofthetermination.
For further details on installation of outside air kit, please refer to

CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Chimney height
Minimum chimney height measured fro bottom of fireplace to flue
gas outlet-end of termination is:
Straight run 14 feet
Run with one elbow set 15 feet
Run with two elbow sets 24 feet
An elbow set consists of one starter elbow and one return elbow.
Uncommon circumstances such as neighboring hills, tall trees, or
strong wind areas can cause downdrafts in chimney system. In
such cases, going beyond minimum recommended height would
be preferable to provide a better draw.
Maximum height approved for any chimney run with this fireplace
system is 60 feet as measured from fireplace bottom to flue outlet
end of termination.
Double Wall Chimney System
An IHP chimney system consists of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48" snaplock, double-wall pipe segments, planned for maximum adaptability
to individual site requirements. Actual lengths gained after fitting
overlaps must be taken into consideration (lineal gain) and are given
in lineal gain chart (see Figure 10, page 8).
Lineal gain is actual measurable length of a part after two or more
parts are connected.
Each double wall chimney section consists of a galvanized outer pipe,
a stainless steal inner flue pipe and a wire spacer. Pipe sections must
be assembled independently as chimney is installed. When connecting
chimney directly to fireplace, inner flue pipe section must be installed
first with lanced (female) side up (see Figure 10, page 8). Outer pipe
section can then be installed over flue pipe section with hemmed (male)
end up. Press down on each pipe section until lances securely engage
hem on fireplace starter. The wire will assure proper spacing between
inner and outer pipe sections.
Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above, making
sure both inner and outer pipe sections are locked together.
When installing double wall snap-lock chimney together, it is important to assure the joint between chimney sections is locked. Check by
pulling chimney upward after locking. Chimney will not come apart if
properly locked. It is not necessary to add screws to keep chimney
together. However, if desired, use screws per directions provided
on page 8, Figure 11.
Note: For Canada, use chimney parts designated HT.

Minimum Measurements
PENETRATING ROOF
To maintain a 1" clearance to pipe on a roof with a pitch, a rectangular
opening must be cut.
1. Determine center point where pipe will penetrate the roof.
2. Determine center point of the roof. Pitch is the distance the roof
drops over a given span, usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that the
roof drops 6" for each 12" measure horizontally down from roof
rafters.
3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 18) to determine correct opening
length and flashing required.
4. Remove shingles around opening measured. Cut out this section.

5. Add next sections of pipe until end penetrates roof line. Check to see
that proper clearances are maintained. Extend chimney by adding
sections of double wall pipe until pipe is minimum of 30" above
highest point of roof cutout. Termination and chimney must extend
a minimum of 36" above highest point where it passes through the
roof.
IMPORTANT: If an exposed portion of chimney
isgreaterthan4'aboverooine,usesupportwires
to keep chimney secured. Support wires may be attached to outer pipe of chimney with screws provided
screwsdonotpenetrateinneruepipe.
Installing Flashing on a Metal Roof
When installing flashing on a metal roof, it is required that putty tape
be used between flashing and roof. Flashing must be secured to roof
using #8 x 3/4" screws and then sealed with roof coating to prevent
leakage through screw holes. A roof coating must also be applied
around perimeter of flashing to provide a proper seal.
STORM COLLAR INSTALLATION
Place storm collar over pipe and slide down until it is snug against
open edge of flashing (see Figure 20). Use SC1 for all round terminations. Apply waterproof caulk around perimeter of collar to provide
a proper seal.

OPTIONAL GAS LINE INSTALLATION
WARNING: A qualified service person must con-
nect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
A gas line may be installed for the purpose of installing a vented
or vent-free decorative gas appliance available through your local
distributor. Use only gas piping approved by local codes. When
installing a gas line, a shutoff valve designed for installation outside
the appliance is recommended.
The gas pipe is intended for connection to a decorative gas appliance that operates using natural or propane/LP gas only. This
appliance must have an automatic shutoff device and must comply
with the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in
Vented Fireplace, ANSI Z21.60. ONLY UNVENTED GAS LOG SETS
WHICH HAVE BEEN FOUND TO COMPLY WITH THE STANDARD FOR
UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS, ANSI Z21.11.2, ARE TO BE INSTALLED

such as a 1/2" dowel until it is released. Remove fragmented
portions of refractory (see Figure 24).
2. Remove gas line cover plate located on rear of fireplace and pull
out insulation from gas line conduit sleeve. Save insulation for
reuse.
3. Run gas line into the fireplace through the rear at 11 1/4" from
floor and through gas line conduit sleeve (if using a raised
platform, add height). Provide sufficient gas line into fireplace
chamber for fitting connection (see Figure 25).
Note: Secure incoming gas line to wood framing to provide rigidity
for threaded end.
4. Repack insulation around gas line and into sleeve opening. Seal
any gaps between gas line and refractory knockout hole with
refractory cement or commercial furnace cement, Install the gas
appliance or cap off gas line if desired.
If you install a decorative gas appliance (vented gas log), decorative
gas appliance must comply with the Standard for Decorative Gas
Appliance for Installation in Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces, ANSI
Z21.60/CSA 2.26 or Z21.84 and shall also be installed in accordance
with ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 National Fuel Gas Codes (USA) and CAN/
CGA-B149.1 National Gas And Propane Installation Code (Canada).

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
VENT-FREE GAS LOG INSTALLATION
Only unvented gas log sets that comply with the standard for unvented room heaters, ANS Z21.11.2, can be installed in this fireplace.
Note: An appropriate IHP PRODUCTS, LLC hood (see Replacement
Parts and Accessories, pages 15 and 16) must be installed when
using an unvented gas log set.
WARNING: Do not operate an unvented gas log set
in this fireplace with the chimney removed.
VENTED GAS LOG INSTALLATION
Only vented decorative appliances (vented gas log sets) that comply
with the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliance for Installation in Solid
Fuel Burning Fireplace, ANS Z21.1.60, can be installed in accordance
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1 in this fireplace.
WARNING: When using a decorative vented gas
log, the damper must be removed or permanently
locked in the fully open position and the glass doors
must be in the fully open position.
COLD CLIMATE INSTALLATION
The following installation procedures are recommended when installing a fireplace system in a cold climate area. Following these steps
will aid in reducing cold air infiltration from fireplace enclosure into
living space.
1. Fireplace must be placed on a solid continuous surface. Add
insulation under fireplace in all cold climate areas.
2. Insulate under raised platform or cantilevered chase to reduce
air infiltration.
3. Insulate walls of chase, both outer and interior partitioning wall
(see Figure 26). Clearances from pipe to insulating material
must be maintained.
4. Install a firestop spacer in chase at ceiling level for safety and
reduction of cold air movement (see Accessories, page 16).
5. Do not insulate top of firebox. The opening in collar around chimney at top of firebox must mot be obstructed (see Figure 27).
6. Before finishing fireplace enclosure, inspect all joints of outer
firebox. Seal any gaps of outer firebox with noncombustible
material. Caulk any gaps between nailing flange and framing.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES Continued
GLASS DOORS
Bi-fold glass doors are optional with this fireplace. Check with your
local distributor for availability.
To install glass doors, refer to installation instructions that are included with kit. When fireplace is in operation, doors must be fully
open or fully closed position only or a fire hazard may be created
(see Figure 28).
A fireplace equipped with glass doors operates much differently
than a fireplace with an open front. A fireplace with glass doors has
a limited amount of air for combustion. Excessive heat within the
fireplace can result if too large a fire is built or if combustion air gate
is not completely open.
IMPORTANT: The following tips should be used to assure that both
fireplace and glass door retain their beauty and function properly.
• Both the flue damper and glass doors must be fully opened
before starting a fire. This will provide sufficient combustion
air and maintain safe temperatures in firebox.
• The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly. The tempered glass will withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550° F,
which is more than a normal fire will generate. Such materials
as pitch/wax laden logs, very dry mill end lumber and large
amounts of paper or cardboard boxes. Always keep the fire well
back from the doors and never allow flames to contact the glass.
" WARNING: FIREPLACES EQUIPPED WITH DOORS
SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH DOORS FULLY
OPEN OR DOORS FULLY CLOSED. IF DOORS ARE LEFT
PARTLY OPEN, GAS AND FLAME MAY BE DRAWN OUT
OF THE FIREPLACE OPENING, CREATING RISKS OF
BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE".
GRATE
The grate is designed to provide you with the maximum solid fuel
capacity. Do not overload grate or obstruct required air space beneath
it. Always keep ashes from building up under grate.
WARNING: Risk of fire! Replace grate made for
use with this fireplace only. See Replacement Parts.
