SAFETY Continued

WARNING: Use solid wood or processed solid fuel ﬁre logs only. Do not poke or stir the logs while they are burning. Use only ﬁrelogs that have been evaluated for the application in ﬁreplace and refer to ﬁrelog warnings and caution markings on packaging prior to use.

This ﬁreplace is not intended to be used as a substitute for a furnace to heat an entire home. Use for supplemental heat only.

Overﬁring of a ﬁreplace is a condition where excessive temperatures are reached, beyond the design capabilities of the appliance. The damage that occurs from overﬁring is not covered under the manufacturer’s limited warranty.

WARNING: CONTINUED OVERFIRING CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR FIREPLACE SYSTEM. SOME EXAMPLES OF CONDITIONS THAT COULD CAUSE OVERFIRING ARE:

• BURNING QUANTITIES OF SCRAP LUMBER, PINE BRANCHES, PAPER OR CARDBOARD BOXES WHICH EXCEED THE VOLUME OF THE NORMAL LOG FIRE.

• BURNING TRASH, CHEMICALS OR CHEMICALLY TREATED COMBUSTIBLES.

Disposal of Ashes Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a

tight-ﬁtting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible 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.

WHEN USING THE DECORATIVE APPLIANCE, THE FIREPLACE DAMPER MUST BE SET IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: See appendix A, page 19 for additional information regarding draft requirements, smoking causes and troubleshooting.

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 monoxide poisoning resemble the ﬂu with headaches, 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 disease or anemia, those under the inﬂuence of alcohol, 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.

SAFETY Continued

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 (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 Figure 2).

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.

6. Do not connect this ﬁreplace to a chimney system other than an IHP chimney system.

7. Install in an area providing ventilation and adequate combustion air.

8. Due to high temperatures, do not locate this ﬁrebox in high trafﬁc areas or near furniture or draperies.

9. Provide adequate clearances around air openings into combustion chamber. NEVER obstruct front opening of ﬁrebox or ﬂow of combustion and ventilation air.

10. Do not locate in or near an area where gasoline or other ﬂammable liquids may be stored. The ﬁrebox area must be kept clear and free from these combustible materials.

The typical installation for this ﬁreplace is a projected installation which allows you to extend the ﬁreplace any distance into the room. A projection may be ideal for a new addition on an existing, ﬁnished wall.

2. If ﬁreplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile or any combustible material other than wood ﬂooring, ﬁreplace must be installed upon a metal or wood panel extending full width and depth of ﬁreplace.

3. Set ﬁreplace directly in front of this opening and slide unit back until nailing ﬂanges touch side framing.

4. Check level of ﬁreplace 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 ﬁreplace to protect against glowing embers falling through (see Figure 7). If ﬁreplace is to be installed on a raised platform, a Z-type ember protector (not supplied) must be fabricated to ﬁt your required platform height (see Figure 6). The ember protector should extend under ﬁreplace a minimum of 1 1/2". The ember protector should be made of galvanized sheet metal (28 gauge minimum) to prevent corrosion.

6. Using screws or nails, secure ﬁreplace to framing through ﬂanges located on sides of ﬁreplace (see Figure 8).

HEARTH EXTENSIONS

A hearth extension projecting a minimum of 16" in front of and a minimum of 8" 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 manu-

facturer or supplier of noncombustible material. If hearth extension is to be raised, a “Z” type ember protector must be used (see Figure 6 and Figure 10, page 7).

PIPE INSTALLATION

The pipe sections must be assembled independently as the chimney is installed. When connecting chimney directly to the ﬁreplace, the inner ﬂue pipe section must be installed ﬁrst with the lanced side up. The outer pipe section can then be installed over the ﬂue pipe section with the hemmed end up. Press down on each pipe section until the lances securely engage the hem on the ﬁreplace starter. The wire will assure the proper spacing between the inner and outer pipe sections.

Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above, making sure that both the inner and outer pipe sections are locked together. When installing double wall snap-lock chimney together, it is important to assure the joint between the chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling chimney upward after locking. The chimney will not come apart if properly locked. It is not necessary to add screws to keep the chimney together (exception, see Figure 17, page 9).

WARNING: The opening in collar around chimney at top of ﬁreplace must not be obstructed. Never use blown insulation to ﬁll chimney enclosure.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

When penetrating a ceiling into an attic, a ﬁrestop thimble (FST10) is required to avoid intrusion by insulation and recommended to negotiate a joist (see Figure 20a).

Firestop Thimble FST10

Figure 18 - Typical Offset Installations

FIRESTOP SPACERS (FS-10)

Firestop spacers are required at each point where the chimney penetrates a ﬂoor or ceiling joist 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 ﬁrestop must be placed onto the ceiling from below as shown in Figure 19.

They also provide complete separation from one ﬂoor 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 ﬁrestop must be placed into an attic ﬂoor as shown in Figure 20.

When penetrating a ﬂoor or ceiling at an angle, use ﬁrestop spacer number 30 FS-10D (see Replacement Parts, page 15 and Accessories, page 17).

10' FOOT RULE

All chimney terminations must extend a minimum of 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof and must be at least 2 feet above roof with a 10 foot horizontal span (see Figure 21).

IMPORTANT: If an exposed portion of chimney is greater than 4 feet above the roof line, use support wires to keep chimney secure. Support wires may be attached to outer pipe of chimney with screws, if screws do not penetrate inner ﬂue pipe.

MINIMUM/MAXIMUM CHIMNEY HEIGHT

The minimum height of the chimney (measured from the base of the ﬁreplace to the ﬂue gas outlet-end of pipe) is 16 feet for a straight run, 16 feet minimum for a run with 1 elbow set and 25 feet minimum for a run with 2 elbow sets. (A set consists of one starter elbow and one return elbow.)

Uncommon circumstances such as neighboring hills, tall trees, or strong wind areas can cause down drafts in chimney system. In such cases, going beyond the minimum recommended height would be preferable to provide a better draw.

The ﬁreplace height approved for any chimney run with this ﬁreplace system is 40 feet measured from bottom of ﬁrebox to ﬂue outlet-end of pipe (see Figure 22).

WARNING: Do not operate an unvented gas log

set in this ﬁreplace with the chimney removed.

HEIGHT

15 FT. (4.5m)

PENETRATING ROOF

To maintain a 2" 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" one measure horizontally down from roof rafters.

3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 23) 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 (see 10-Foot Rule and Figure 21, page 9.

FINISHING FIREPLACE

Combustible materials, such as wallboard, gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood, etc. may make direct contact with sides and top around the ﬁreplace 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.

INSTALLING FIREPLACE FACING. Any noncombustible material may be used for facing (glass, tile,

brick, etc.) as long as proper clearances are adhered to and ﬁreplace openings are not obstructed in any way (see Minimum Clearance to Combustibles, page 5 and Figure 28).

Use only heat resistant, noncombustible mortar or adhesive when securing facing material to front of ﬁreplace. When placing facing at upper edge of effective opening of ﬁreplace, provide “L” shaped piece of metal extending full width of opening (see Figure 28).

Secure with sheet metal screws at a distance high enough from edge so it doesn't interfere with operation of doors. This assures that facing material will not block openings.

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 IN THIS FIREPLACE.

NOTICE: Before you proceed, make sure your gas supply is turned off.

Use only a 1/2" black iron pipe and appropriate ﬁttings.

1. Remove knockout indentation on refractory or ﬁrebrick wall located approximately 2" above the refractory hearth ﬂoor. The knockout indentation must be ﬁrmly tapped with any solid object such as a 1/2" dowel until it is released. Remove fragmented portions of refractory (see Figure 29).

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 1/2" black iron gas line into the ﬁrebox 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 ﬁrebox chamber for ﬁtting connection (see Figure 30).

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.

CAUTION: All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation is completed. After ensuring that gas valve is on, apply soap and water solution to all connections and joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING AND DO NOT OPERATE ANY APPLIANCE IF A LEAK IS DETECTED. LEAK TESTING SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.

Note: An IHP hood must be installed when using an unvented gas log set (see Installation Accessories on page 18).

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 or 31).

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.

WARNING: Discontinue use of the appliance immediately if doors are damaged and contact a qualiﬁed installer for repair. Only doors certiﬁed with the appliance shall be used.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of damaging ﬁreplace

materials and increasing the risk of spreading a ﬁre, do not use ﬁreplace to cook or warm food.

WARNING: If the ﬁreplace has been used for Woodburning, ﬁrebox and chimney must be cleaned of soot, creosote and ashes be a qualiﬁed chimney cleaner. Creosote will ignite if heavily heated.

WARNING: When using a decorative vented gas log, damper must be removed or permanently locked in fully open position and glass doors must be in fully open position.

APPENDIX A

Draft Requirements

Your wood-burning appliance is dependent upon a properly functioning chimney for optimum performance. It is important to match the wood-burning appliance to the chimney. The chimney has two functions:

1. It draws combustion air into the appliance (without air, no fuel will burn) and

2. It exhausts combustion by-products. Your new appliance is what is known as a “natural draft” appliance.

The appliance depends solely on the natural draft of the chimney system to draw combustion air into the unit. Draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up into 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 (overﬁring). Slow or inadequate draft equals poor combustion and possible smoking problems. The following are some conditions that may contribute to poor chimney draft:

1. A chimney too large for your appliance.

2. A chimney with not enough height to produce adequate draft.

3. A chimney with excessive height (this may allow exhaust to cool too much before exiting, which will stall the rate the exhaust exits).

4. Offsets in the venting system are too restrictive (see Chimney Guidelines).

Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through the wood-burning appliance and the chimney connector joints. Excessive draft may cause an uncontrollable burn or a glowing red appliance or chimney part. Overﬁring Damage - If the appliance or chimney connector glows, you are overﬁring. Other symptoms may include: Cracking, warping or burning out of components, plated accessories may turn color, appliance glass may develop a haze, which will not come off with cleaning.

Overﬁring of a appliance is a condition where excessive temperatures are reached, beyond the design capabilities of the appliance. The damage that occurs from overﬁring is not covered under the manufacturer’s limited warranty.

Also see Troubleshooting on Page 20.

WARNING

Neither the manufacturer nor the seller warrants “smoke free” operation nor are we responsible for inadequate system draft caused by mechanical systems, general construction conditions, inadequate chimney heights, adverse wind conditions and/or unusual environmental factors or conditions beyond our control.

take into account all variables within the installation and install the appliance in such a manner that satisﬁes the draft requirements of the appliance. See Chimney Guidelines to assist you in selecting the proper venting system for your installation.

American National Standards Institute ANSI/NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances - See Draft Section: A chimney or vent shall be so designed

and constructed to develop a ﬂow sufﬁcient to completely remove all ﬂue and vent gases to the outside atmosphere. The venting system shall satisfy the draft requirements of the connected appliance in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Chimney Guidelines:

• In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may be difﬁcult to establish a good draft up your chimney. The poor draft is caused by a shortage of air in the house. In this situation an Outside Air Kit may need to be installed (See Negative Pressure Warning below and Outside Combustion Air in the Installation and Operation manual).

Negative Pressure Warning

These appliances are not designed to be operated in a negative pressure. In very airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust fans, furnace cold air returns, fresh air exchange systems and any other air system in close proximity to the heating appliance may create a negative pressure in the same room as the heating appliance. This can create dangerous back drafting of the appliance and chimney joints, drawing combustion by-products into the home. Be sure your home has adequate makeup air to eliminate negative pressures caused by the above-mentioned sources. Outside air connected to the appliance probably will not resolve such a problem as the appliance is not the source of negative pressure. IHP accepts no liability for damages resulting from negative pressures described here.

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. Ventilation is essential when using a solid-fuel-burning appliance. In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may be difﬁcult to establish a good draft up the chimney (caused by a shortage of air in the home). The lack of air is caused by many common household appliances which exhaust air from the home (such as a furnace, heat pump, air conditioner, clothes dryer, exhaust fans, ﬁreplaces, and other fuel burning appliances). Also, the combustion process of this appliance uses oxygen from inside the dwelling. If the available fresh air delivery in the dwelling is insufﬁcient to support the demands of these appliances, problems can result (i.e. excessive negative pressure can develop in the dwelling which will affect the rate at which this appliance can draft thus resulting in performance problems or smoking. To correct this problem it may help to open a window (preferably on the windward side of the house) or install an outside air kit.

Selecting the Proper Venting System

The appliance is merely one component of a larger system. The other equally important component is the venting system. This is necessary for achieving the required ﬂow of combustion air to the ﬁre chamber and for safely removing unwanted combustion by products from the appliance.

If the venting system’s design does not promote these ends, the system may not function properly. Poorly functioning venting systems may create performance problems as well as be a safety hazard. A draft

test should read greater than .04’ W.C. (inches water column) and less than .08” W.C. As per NFPA-211 standard, the installer must

APPENDIX A Continued

Smoking – Causes And Troubleshooting

To reduce the likelihood of smoking when opening the door, open the combustion air control or damper before opening the door. Your appliance has been designed and tested to provide smoke free operation. Occasionally, there may be a small amount of smoking upon lighting the ﬁre, until the chimney heats up but this should not continue. If the appliance continues to smoke it is probably for one of the following reasons:

A. 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. When operating the appliance, open a nearby window temporarily to check if there is adequate replacement air supply.

B. Blowers operating (e.g.: range hood) - These blowers draw air

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

C. 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.

D. 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.

E. Chimney not long enough - The minimum chimney height is

twelve (12) feet (3.7 m) not including the appliance 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. Additional height will increase draft and will decrease the tendency to smoke.

F. Poor chimney draft - With no ﬁre, there should be sufﬁcient draft

to exhaust cigarette smoke introduced under the bafﬂe or ﬂue bafﬂe. Chimneys installed against an outside wall without protection 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.

G. Blower for forced air kit operating (some models) - Make

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

Locating The Appliance

The best location to install your appliance is determined by considering the location of windows, doors, and the trafﬁc ﬂow in the room where the appliance 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 (some models), outside air kit and chimney. If possible, you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through the house without cutting ﬂoor or roof joists.

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.
