SELECTING LOCATION

To determine the safest and most efcient
location for the replace, you must take into
consideration the following guidelines:

1. The location must allow for proper clear­ances (see Figures 5 and 6).

2. Consider a location where replace will
not be affected by drafts, air conditioning
ducts, windows or doors.

3. A location that avoids cutting of joists or
roof rafters will make installation easier.

4. An outside air kit is available with this
replace (see Optional Outside Air Kit on
page 7).

MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO
COMBUSTIBLES

Back and sides of replace 1 1/2" min.*
Front of replace 48" min.
Floor** 0" min.
Perpendicular wall to opening 18" min.

Top spacers 0" min.
Mantel clearances
Chimney outer pipe surface 2" min.

* Not required at nailing anges
** See step 2 of Framing

see Mantels, page 6

WARNING: Do not pack

required air spaces with insula-

tion or other materials. A restop

thimble (38FST or FST30) is

recommended.

Minimum/Maximum Chimney Height for
Residential Installation

Minimum height of chimney, measured from
base of replace to ue gas outlet of termina­tion, is 16 feet for straight ue or a ue with
one elbow set. Maximum distance between
elbows is 6 feet. For systems with two elbow
sets, minimum height is 22 feet. Maximum
height of any system is 50 feet. This measure­ment includes replace, chimney sections and
height of termination assembly at level of the
ue gas outlet (see Figure 14, page 10).

Minimum/Maximum Chimney Height for

Outdoor Installation

Minimum height of chimney, measured from
base of replace to ue gas outlet of termina­tion, is 9.5 feet (minimum of 4 feet of chimney
pipe sections required for outdoor installation).

www.Astria.US.com

FRAMING

1. Frame opening for replace using dimen­sions shown in Figures 2 and 3.

2. If replace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any
combustible material other than wood
ooring, replace must be installed upon
a metal or wood panel extending full width
and depth of replace.

3. Set replace directly in front of this open­ing and slide unit back until nailing anges
touch side framing.

4. Check level of the replace and shim with
sheet metal if necessary.

5. Before securing fireplace to prepared
framing, ember protector (provided) must
be placed between hearth extension (not
supplied) and under bottom front edge of
replace to protect against glowing embers
falling through. If replace is to be installed
on a raised platform, a Z-type ember pro­tector (not supplied) must be fabricated to
t your required platform height. Ember
protector should extend under replace a
minimum of 1 1/2". Ember protector should
be made of galvanized sheet metal (28
gauge minimum to prevent corrosion.

6. Using screws or nails, secure replace to
framing through anges located on sides
of replace.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Continued

Note: For outdoor installations, fireplace
enclosure must allow for adequate drainage
and fresh air ventilation. It is recommended
that a sealed, corrosion resistant catch pan
with provision for drainage be installed under

replace within replace enclosure.

HEARTH EXTENSION

A hearth extension projecting a minimum of
20" in front of and a minimum of 12" beyond
each side of replace opening is required to
protect combustible oor construction in front
of replace. Fabricate a hearth extension
using a material which meets the following
specications: a layer of noncombustible,
inorganic material having a thermal conduc­tivity of K=0.84 BTU IN/FT, HR. F (or less) at
1" thick. For example, if the material selected
has a K factor of 0.25, such as glass ber, 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 replace frame and hearth
extension with a noncombustible material
(see Figure 5).

WARNING: Hearth extension

is to be installed only as shown

in Figure 4.

MANTELS

A mantel may be installed if desired (see Figure

6). Woodwork such as wood trims, mantels
or any other combustible material projecting
from front face must not be placed within 18"
of replace opening. Combustible materials
above 18" and projecting more than 1 1/2" from
replace must not be placed less than 21" from
the top opening of the replace (NFPA STD
211, Sec. 7-3.3.3).

Mantels or any other combustible material
also may come up to side edge of black metal
face of replace as long as projections from
front face fall within limit shown in Figure 6.

CHIMNEY PIPE

The INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS
chimney system consists of 12", 18", 24",
36" and 48" snap-lock, double-wall pipe seg­ments, planned for maximum adaptability to
individual site requirements. Actual lengths
gained after tting overlaps must be taken
into consideration (lineal gain) and are given
in the lineal gain chart (see Figure 8). Lineal
Gain is the actual measurable length of a part
after two or more parts are connected. For
Canada, use chimney parts designated "HT".

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF
DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM

Each double wall chimney section consists of a
galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel inner ue
pipe and a wire spacer. The pipe sections must
be assembled independently as the chimney is
installed. When connecting chimney directly to
the replace, the inner ue pipe section must
be installed rst with the lanced side up. The
outer pipe section can then be installed over
5 the ue pipe section with the hemmed end
up. Press down on each pipe section until the
lances securely engage the hem on the replace
starter. The wire will assure the proper spacing
between the inner and outer pipe sections.

USING ELBOW OFFSETS (30E-12DM)

1.

To achieve desired offset, you may install
combinations of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48"
length of double wall pipe (see offset chart
and Figure 9).

2.

Chimney weight above offset rests on re­turn elbow. Straps must be securely nailed
to rafters or joists (see Figure 9, details A
and B).

3. Maximum length of pipe between sup­ports (return elbow or 12S-12DM) is 6'
of angle run. Maximum of two 6' angle
run sections per chimney system (see
Figure 11, page 9).

4. All pipe connections between the offset
and return must be secured with two
screws on the outer pipe only (see
Figure 9). Do not penetrate the inner
stainless.

FIRESTOP SPACERS (FS-10)

Firestop spacers are required at each point
where the chimney penetrates a oor space.
Their purpose is to establish and maintain
the required clearance between the chimney
and the combustible materials. When the pipe
passes through a framed opening into a living
space above, the restop must be placed onto
the ceiling from below as shown in Figure 12.

They also provide complete separation from
one oor space to another or attic space as
required by most codes. When the double wall
pipe passes through a framed opening into an
attic space, the restop must be placed into an
attic oor as shown in Figure 13.

PENETRATING ROOF

To maintain a 2" clearance to the pipe on a
roof with a pitch, a rectangular opening must

be cut.

1. Determine center point through which pipe
will penetrate roof.

2. Determine center point of roof. Pitch is
distance the roof drops over a given span,
usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that roof
drops 6" for each 12" measured horizon­tally down from roof rafters.

3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 14, page

10) to determine correct opening length
and ashing required.

4. Remove shingles around opening mea­sured. Cut out this section.

Installing Flashing on a Metal Roof

When installing the ashing on a metal roof,
it is required that putty tape be used between
the ashing and the roof. The ashing must be
secured to the roof using #8 x 3/4" screws and
then sealed with roof coating to prevent leak­age through the screw holes. A roof coating
must also be applied around the perimeter of
the ashing to provide a proper seal.

CHASE INSTALLATIONS

Instructions for chase installations are
included with the chase style termination
chosen. In a multiple chase installation, be
sure to provide adequate distance between
terminations to prevent smoke spillage from
one termination to another. We suggest that
terminations be separated at least 24", center
to center and stacked at a vertical height dif­ference of 18" (see Figure 18).

FINISHING FIREPLACE

Combustible materials, such as wallboard,
gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood,
etc. may make direct contact with sides and top
around the replace face. It is important that
combustible materials do not overlap the face
itself. Brick, glass, tile or other noncombustible
materials may overlap the front face provided
they do not obstruct essential openings like
louvered slots or any other opening. When
overlapping with a noncombustible facing
material, use only noncombustible mortar or
adhesive.

GROUTING INSTRUCTIONS

Material provided:
Bag of cement
Bag of sand
Material required:
Piping bag
Joints striker
Heavy duty mixing bucket
Sponge or Wet Cloth

1. Moisten brick surface with damp sponge
or spray bottle just prior to application.
When bricks are wet, any excess grout
mixture on bricks will easily wipe off.

2. In a heavy duty mixing bucket, add equal
parts cement and sand. Add enough water
and mix together well using a power drill
with mixing wand attachment to a yogurt
like consistency. Not adding enough water
can lead to grout falling out after burning.

3. The overall length of piping bag should be
about 16". If the bag is longer than 16",
cut it down to size by removing end with
larger opening. This will make the bag
easier to handle.

4. Put grout mixture into piping bag making
sure the smaller opening is downward and
over a moist towel to avoid spilling. Place
a wet towel over the bucket making sure it
is directly on the surface of grout mixture.
This will keep the mixture moist and it will
not dry out before use.

5. Grout all joints where two rebrick walls
come together.

6. Using a trowel, remove excess grout mix­ture by moving trowel in the direction of
the joint. Grout mixture in the joint should
now be ush with brick surface. If not
enough grout is applied into each space,
grout may fall out after burning.

7. Using a joint striker, smooth out grout line.

Allow 72 hours before

operating replace.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

GLASS DOORS

Glass doors are optional with the replace.
When replace is in operation, doors must be
fully opened or fully closed position only or a re
hazard may be created (see Figure 33).

A replace equipped with glass doors operates
much differently than a replace with an open
front. A replace with glass doors has a limited
amount of air for combustion.

Excessive heat within the replace can result if
too large a re is built or if combustion air gate
is not completely open. The following tips should
be followed to assure that both the replace
and glass door retain their beauty and function
properly. Both the ue damper and glass doors
must be fully opened before starting re. This will
provide sufcient combustion air and maintain
safe temperatures in rebox.

IMPORTANT: 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 re will generate.
Such materials as pitch/wax laden logs, very dry
mill end lumber and large amounts of paper or
cardboard boxes can create an excessively hot
re and should not be burned in this replace.
Always keep the re well back from the doors
and never allow ames to contact the glass.

WARNING: Fireplaces
equipped with glass doors
should be operated only with
doors fully opened or doors fully
closed. Doors, if left partly open,
may draw gas and ame out of
the replace opening creating
risks of both re and smoke.

Cleaning Glass

Clean glass with any commercial glass cleaner
or soap and water. Do not use any abrasive
material to clean glass. Do not clean glass with
any cool water if glass is still hot from the re
and smoke.

OUTSIDE AIR AND DAMPER
HANDLE OPERATION

The damper handle, which opens and closes
the damper blade, is located in the upper front
face of the replace. Pushing the handle for­ward and up through the keyway slot will free
damper blade to automatically open. Pushing
the handle forward and down will lock damper
blade closed (see Figure 34).

PUREFIRE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

This replace is equipped with a PureFire
Emission Control System. The Catalytic
Hood system reduces particulates emissions
in a wood burning replace to meet the EPA
Wood-Burning Fireplace Program Phase 2
emission level.

The EPA qualifying label, shown on page 20,
will be afxed to the catalyst. Before lighting
the rst re, remove and maintain this label in
a safe place if needed for permits or building
inspection. Prior to beginning installation, con­tact your local building ofcial to determine the
need to obtain a permit. For proper operation,
catalyst must be replace every 3 to 5 years.

FUELING GUIDELINES

The replace grate must always be secured to
the retaining brackets provided. The position
of the grate must be centered against the back
wall of the rebox.

Burn only dry, seasoned (cured) wood with
less than 20% moisture. Avoid the use of
treated, painted and laminated wood. Never
burn garbage or other foreign materials. Do
not use articial logs, colored newspaper or
petroleum based re starters. Avoid wood with
high salt content. All of these materials may
contain compounds which can shorten the
life of the catalyst. Wet or unseasoned wood
may lower catalytic temperatures and result
in inefcient operation.

The catalyst is designed to function at opti­mum efciency when the replace is burning
clean, dry, cord wood as replace fuel. A
simple visual inspection of the chimney dur­ing the wood burning process will determine
catalyst performance.

The fuel load should always be placed on
the back of the grate. Use clean dry wood,
seasoned cord wood is the best choice.
Never burn trash, plastics, gasoline, rubber,
industrial solvents, ammable liquids, naptha,
household garbage, material treated with
petroleum products, leaves, paper products,
cardboard or salt driftwood.

Refer to your INNOVATIVE HEARTH PROD­UCTS Homeowner's Guide included with your
replace for proper re building technique and
ash removal procedures. These fueling guide­lines must be followed in order to achieve
maximum emissions performance from the
PureFire System.

OPERATION

The proper use of a wood burning replace
equipped with the catalyst will signicantly
reduce the emissions that it produces. Simple
fuel considerations with regard to moisture
content, size, and quality of fuel will help
control the production of wood smoke and
improve the performance of the catalyst and
replace efciency. With proper care, the
catalyst will provide years of fuel savings
and lowered emissions. By following some
simple guidelines, you will ensure maximum
performance and longevity.

The smoke that is usually seen coming out
of a chimney is essentially a combination of
unburned fuel (carbon and hydrogen) and
moisture in the form of water vapor. The cata­lyst is a technology that provides secondary
combustion for the wood burning process.

MAINTENANCE

The PureFire System is a maintenance free
technology. Do not attempt to remove or clean
the combustor. The direct ame from the re
will clean the combustor. Only a certified
technician should remove the unit. To ensure
proper replace operation, the PureFire Sys­tem should be replaced every 3 to 5 years
(see Parts on page 22).

NOTE: Chimney smoke may be visible during
the rst 8 to 10 minutes of replace operation
when the re is rst getting started and the
nal 8 to 10 minutes of operation while the re
is dissipating. Under normal operating condi­tions, you should see little or no smoke coming
out of the chimney. If continuous smoke is
visible, make sure only dry seasoned wood
is being burned. If visible smoke continues,
the combustor has ceased to function or
there is thermal crumbling. Call INNOVATIVE
HEARTH PRODUCTS at 1-800-655-2008 for
replacement parts.

Innovative Hearth Products

Astria™ Brand Wood-Burning Fireplace

20 Year Limited Warranty

THE WARRANTY

Innovative Hearth Products ("IHP") 20 Year Limited Warranty warrants your Astria™ brand wood burning fireplace ("Product") to be free from defects in materials and
workmanship at the time of manufacture. The Product body, firebox and ceramic glass carry the 20 Year Limited Warranty. Ceramic glass carries the 20 Year Limited War­ranty against thermal breakage only. After installation, if covered components manufactured by IHP are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the 20
Year Limited Warranty period and while the Product remains at the site of the original installation, IHP will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. If repair
or replacement is not commercially practical, IHP will, at its option, refund the purchase price or wholesale price of the IHP product, whichever is applicable. IHP will also
pay IHP prevailing labor rates, as determined in its sole discretion, incurred in repairing or replacing such components for up to five years. THERE ARE EXCLUSIONS AND
LIMITATIONS to this 20 Year Limited Warranty as described herein.

COVERAGE COMMENCEMENT DATE

Warranty coverage begins on the date of installation. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage begins on the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six
months after the sale of the Product by an independent IHP dealer/distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months following the
date of product shipment from IHP, regardless of the installation or occupancy date.

EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS

This 20 Year Limited Warranty applies only if the Product is installed in the United States or Canada and only if operated and maintained in accordance with the printed
instructions accompanying the Product and in compliance with all applicable installation and building codes and good trade practices.

This warranty is non-transferable and extends to the original owner only. The Product must be purchased through a listed supplier of IHP and proof of purchase must be
provided. The Product body and firebox carry the 20 Year Limited Warranty from the date of installation. Vent components, trim components, paint and applied stains are
excluded from this 20 Year Limited Warranty. The following do not carry a 20 Year Limited Warranty but are warranted as follows:

Air tubes, baffles and brick retainers – Repair or replacement for one year from the date of installation
Cast iron parts – Replacement for one year from date of installation
Electrical components – Repair or replacement for one year from the date of installation
Fireplace screens, refractory and side shields (metal or refractory) – Repair or replacement for two years from date of installation. Excludes hairline cracks.
Fuel grates –These parts are considered consumable accessories and therefore are not warranted, with the exception of defects in material or workmanship which

are covered for 90 days from the date of installation

Gaskets – Replacement for one year from date of installation
Gold & nickel plating – Replacement for two years from date of installation. Excludes tarnishing
Optional glass doors – Repair or replacement for 90 days from the date of installation

Labor coverage – Prevailing IHP labor rates apply for the warranty period of the component.
Parts not otherwise listed carry a 90 day warranty from the date of installation.
Whenever practicable, IHP will provide replacement parts, if available, for a period of 10 years from the last date of manufacture of the Product.

IHP will not be responsible for: (a) damages caused by normal wear and tear, accident, riot, fire, flood or acts of God; (b) damages caused by abuse, negligence, misuse, or
unauthorized alteration or repair of the Product affecting its stability or performance. (The Product must be subject to normal use with approved fuels listed in the Operation
Manual provided with the product. This includes burning such fireplace fuels as wood and natural or propane gas. Fuel products with abnormal burning characteristics,
including but not limited to fuel such as driftwood, coal or plywood and wood products using a binder may burn at excessive temperatures and may cause damage to the
Product or may cause it to function improperly.); (c) damages caused by failing to provide proper maintenance and service in accordance with the instructions provided with
the Product; (d) damages, repairs or inefficiency resulting from faulty installation or application of the Product.

Coverage of this 20 Year Limited Warranty is conditional upon use of an adequate fuel grate on factory-built fireplaces only, when applicable.

IHP is not responsible for inadequate fireplace system draft caused by air conditioning and heating systems, mechanical ventilation systems, or general construction condi­tions which may generate negative air pressure in the room in which the appliance is installed. Additionally IHP assumes no responsibility for smoking conditions caused by
inadequate chimney height, adjoining trees or buildings, adverse wind conditions or unusual environmental factors and conditions. Certain IHP Products are listed for use with
Security Chimneys International, Ltd. or IHP chimney systems only. Use of chimney components other than that specified in the Product manual will void the Product warranty.

This 20 Year Limited Warranty covers only parts and labor as provided herein. In no case shall IHP be responsible for materials, components or construction which are
not manufactured or supplied by IHP or for the labor necessary to install, repair or remove such materials, components or construction. Additional utility bills incurred due
to any malfunction or defect in equipment are not covered by this 20 Year Limited Warranty. All replacement or repair components will be shipped F.O.B. from the nearest
stocking IHP factory.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

It is expressly agreed and understood that IHP’s sole obligation and the purchaser’s exclusive remedy under this warranty, under any other warranty, expressed or implied,
or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as specified herein.

In no event shall IHP be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in the Product, whether such damage occurs or is discovered before or after
replacement or repair, and whether such damage is caused by IHP’s negligence. IHP has not made and does not make any representation or warranty of fitness for a particular
use or purpose, and there is no implied condition of fitness for a particular use or purpose.

IHP makes no expressed warranties except as stated in this 20 Year Limited Warranty. The duration of any implied warranty is limited to the duration of this expressed warranty.

No one is authorized to change this 20 Year Limited Warranty or to create for IHP any other obligation or liability in connection with the Product. Some states and provinces
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. The provisions of this 20 Year
Limited Warranty are in addition to and not a modification of or subtraction from any statutory warranties and other rights and remedies provided by law.

INVESTIGATION OF CLAIMS AGAINST WARRANTY

IHP reserves the right to investigate any and all claims against this 20 Year Limited Warranty and to decide, in its sole discretion, upon the method of settlement.

To receive the benefits and advantages described in this 20 Year Limited Warranty, the appliance must be installed and repaired by a licensed contractor approved by IHP.
Contact IHP at the address provided herein to obtain a listing of approved dealers/distributors. IHP shall in no event be responsible for any warranty work done by a

contractor that is not approved without first obtaining IHP's prior written consent.

HOW TO REGISTER A CLAIM AGAINST WARRANTY

In order for any claim under this warranty to be valid, you must contact the IHP dealer/distributor from which you purchased the product. If you cannot locate the dealer/
distributor, then you must notify IHP in writing. IHP must be notified of the claimed defect in writing within 90 days of the date of failure. Notices should be directed to the
