 Install and operate your units according to instructions provided in this manual. Local

building codes may apply; therefore, contact your local building inspector or fire marshal for necessary installation requirements and permits which may go beyond these instructions. The authority having jurisdiction should be consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a permit.

 If appliance is installed in mobile homes:

“DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOMS.”

 NOTE: When burning any unit or appliance that combust fuel for heat, such as

coal, oil, wood or natural and (L.P.) liquid petroleum gas. We highly recommend the use of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home.

 The Model 21 is approved for use in specified Pre-Fabricated fireplaces (ZCF’s). Use the

list on Page 11 or contact your dealer for additional units.

 Examine the masonry fireplace and chimney prior to installation of the fireplace accessory

to determine that the construction meets the minimum fireplace construction requirements illustrated in the instructions, that it is free from cracks, loose mortar, creosote deposits and other blockage, or other signs of deterioration.

CAUTION

Page 2

YOUR CHIMNEY OR FLUE MUST BE CORRECTLY SIZED. A CHIMNEY OR FLUE THAT IS TOO SMALL OR LARGE IN DIAMETER OR TOO SHORT, CAN CAUSE YOUR STOVE TO SPILL SMOKE WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED.

CAUTION

SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

Your new MODEL 21 is a non-catalytic unit designed to meet the most stringent emissions standards without the use of a catalytic combustor. This effect is achieved through the use of secondary air which is mixed with primary air in the unit’s firebox.

For peak performance, we suggest the use of hard seasoned natural wood, loading wood length way from front to rear.

NOTE: Soft woods such as pine, create more creosote, clogging of chimney and produce a less efficient burn performance.

You should not burn trash or garbage, artificial or paper logs, gift wrapping, treated or painted wood or any type of coal.

“DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.” “DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.”

The primary air, which is controlled by the user, burns the wood. Secondary air is admitted into the firebox through the secondary air tubes at the top of the firebox. This secondary air burns the impurities in the smoke released from the initial wood burning. The temperature necessary for this combustion is maintained through the firebrick refractory. If any more technical information is necessary, contact your local dealer.

A factory-built prefabricated chimney may be used for your unit when installed in compliance with the manufacturer's specification and uniform building code.

These units may also be used with optional room air blower. To order the optional motor assemblies you must specify the stove model number and give one of the following part number:

*Model 21 Motor Assembly—MA 210715

For operation and use of these electrical assemblies, see instructions provided with the motor assembly kits.

SECTION II

MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION

The Model 21 may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with the Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in this type of installation is to determine the acceptability of the fireplace and chimney for use with a woodstove. Both the construction and condition of the fireplace are important considerations when installing a woodstove. The chimney should extend at least 3' above the roof and at least 2' above any point of the roof within 10'.

REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY INSPECTED FOR LEAKS AND BLOCKAGE BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR STOVE. “DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.”

1. The hearth must be of masonry construction and must extend a minimum of 16" in front of the firebox opening and a minimum of 8" to either side of the firebox opening. (See Figure 1).

2. If there is not minimum hearth protection from the front of the firebox opening and the

front of the masonry hearth, a floor protector must be used in front of the hearth to protect combustible materials. The floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness noncombustible material or equivalent.(See Page 5).

Floor Protection:

When installing freestanding heater, a floor protector must be use. Floor protection must be 3/8” minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.

How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness

An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements listed in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure:

1. Convert specification to R-value: R-value is given—no conversion is needed. K-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: C-factor is given: R=1/C

2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector. Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R” For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value.

3. If the overall R-value of the system is grater than the R-value of the specified floor protector, the alternate is acceptable.

Example: The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material with a K-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a K-factor of 0.29.

Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value. R= 1/K x T = 1/0.84 x .75 =

0.893

Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system. 4” brick of C=1.25, therefore Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25

=0.80 1/8” mineral board of K = 0.29, therefore Rmin.bd. =1/029 x0.125 = 0.431

Step (c): Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed

system R is greater than required , the system is acceptable.

FIGURE 2 POSITIONING

POSITIONING THE HEATER

NOTE: If the three suggested installations have been

chosen, certain steps must be followed when installing the heater into a masonry fireplace.

When positioning the heater, the following conditions MUST be met! (See Figure 2).

1. The front of the damper opening must be positioned BEHIND the rear edge of the lintel to ensure proper draft. (See Figure 2).

2. Center the heater in the fireplace opening.

MOUNTING THE TRIM PANELS

After the unit is positioned as shown in (Figure 2), mark the mounting position of the trim panels as follows:

1. Place the top long trim panel in place on top of the unit. The panel should be flat against the outside face of the fireplace, and standing vertically. Mark along the lower edge of the trim panel with a pencil to make a reference line for mounting.

2. Place the side trim panels in place behind and against the intake covers, again, flat against the face of the fireplace. Mark down the edge of the trim panel to make a vertical reference line.

FIGURE 3 MOUNTING TRIM PANELS

3. Slide the unit out of the fireplace far enough to work behind the trim panel reference lines.

4. Mount the side trim panels. (See Figure 3). a. Position the trim panel on the reference line. b. Drill mounting holes in center of trim panels mounting brackets to allow for adjustment in and out if

necessary.

c. Mount the trim panel using the self-tapping screws provided.

5. Place top panel back on reference mark. Take top trim panel mounting bracket supplied with unit. Position bracket so it overlaps rear lip of top trim panel. Drill mounting holes in top of stove using holes in bracket as guide. Tighten down screws.

6. Now, follow the installation procedures in the listed direct connect or positive connect kit you are using and install the heater and connect kit in the fireplace.

7. Slide the unit back into the fireplace. Check to be sure that the trim panels are properly positioned and lie flat against the front of the fireplace. If one or more of the panels is out of position, slide the unit out and reset by loosening the mounting screws and repositioning in the slot.

8. Reinstall the top trim panel by sliding the rear lip of the top trim panel underneath the front lip of the mounting bracket already secured to top of unit.

NOTE: Mount the top trim panel so that it sits in front of the top of the side trim panels.

9. Obtain the brass trim kit provided with unit and slip over the top and sides of trim panels. (Top ends of brass may need to be trimmed to fit).

Page 8

10. If direct connect or positive connect kit is not used, follow instructions in (mounting trim panels, steps 1-4c) on (Page 8).

11. Mount top trim panel by drilling mounting holes in center of trim panel mounting brackets, with top end side of top panel overlapping side panel.

12. Using insulation provided, peel and stick to back of panels overlapping fireplace dimensions by 1” on each side and top. (See Page 8, Figure 3).

13. Next using high heat silicone or furnace cement run heavy bead of caulking around where panels meet the stove. (See Figure 4).

14. Slide the unit back into the fireplace. Check to be sure that the trim panels (and brass) are properly positioned and lie flat against the front of the fireplace. If panels are out of position, slide the unit out and reset by loosening the mounting screws and repositioning in the slot. With bar, lift stove in front. Place insulation across front and the surface of hearth or bottom of fireplace, to make complete seal.

15. To check seal of panels, use candle flame and go around the entire area sealed by silicone and insulation. If flame leans toward inside of fireplace, add additional insulation. This ensures an airtight seal.

FINAL CHECK

SILICONE

SCREW

FIGURE 4

1. Recheck the specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from the firebox area.

3. Open the primary air draft.

4. Plug the power cord into a 115V AC outlet if optional motor is being used. Do not run power cord under unit or in high traffic areas.

5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close the doors. Ensure that the stove draws properly through the primary draft.

6. Check for smoke leaks around the doors.

7. Open the door and check for smoke escaping from the front of the stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting newspaper and holding it near the open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.

If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the manual does not reveal the problem, contact your dealer for assistance.

Page 9

THE UNIT IS PAINTED WITH A SPECIALLY FORMULATED HIGH TEMPERATURE PAINT THAT CURES DURING THE FIRST TWO OR THREE FIRINGS. YOU MAY NOTICE A SLIGHT SMOKING EFFECT AND AN ODOR OF BURNING PAINT WHEN YOU BUILD THE FIRST FIRES. THIS IS NORMAL AND IS NOT A CAUSE FOR ALARM. IN SOME CASES, THESE FUMES WILL ACTIVATE A SMOKE ALARM. OPENING A WINDOW NEAR THE UNIT WILL ALLOW THESE FUMES TO ESCAPE. DO NOT BUILD A LARGE, ROARING FIRE UNTIL THIS CURING IS COMPLETE OR THE HEATER FINISH MAY BE DAMAGED.

CAUTION

The connector and/or chimney should be inspected at least once a month during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.

CAUTION

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THE HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHEN IT IS IN USE. ALL FLUIDS OF THIS TYPE GIVE OFF VOLATILE FUMES AND CAN AND WILL EXPLODE!! DON'T TAKE A CHANCE WITH THE SAFETY OF YOUR HOME AND FAMILY.

FINAL CHECK

1. Recheck the specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from the firebox area.

3. Open the primary air draft.

4. Plug the power cord into a 115V AC outlet when using with optional motor. “Do not run power cord under unit or in high traffic areas”.

5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close the doors. Ensure that the stove draws properly through the primary draft.

6. Check for smoke leaks around the door.

Open the doors and check for smoke escaping from the front of the stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting newspaper and holding it near the open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.

If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the manual does not reveal the problem, contact your dealer for assistance.

CAUTION

The unit is painted with a specially formulated high temperature paint that cures during the first two or three firings. You may notice a slight smoking effect and an odor of burning paint when you build the first fires. This is normal and is not a cause for alarm. In some cases, these fumes will activate a smoke alarm. Opening a window near the unit will allow these fumes to escape. DO NOT build a large, roaring fire until this curing is complete or the heater finish may be damaged.

CAUTION

ALCOVE INSTALLATION

AND CLEARANCES

Select an installation location that will give the best airflow from the front of the

heater to the remainder of the home

PREPARING THE STOVE FOR INSTALLATION

1. Inspect the unit for any obvious physical damage.

2. Plug the power cord into a 115V AC outlet to test the motor and fan when optional motor is being used. “Do not run power cord under unit or in high traffic areas”.

3. Check the primary air draft control to ensure that it slides freely.(See Figure 20).

4. Remove any items from within the firebox. Spread a dropcloth on the floor behind the heater. Next, tilt the heater so that the back is on the drop cloth.

5. If leg kit is to be used follow steps 1-6.

6. Then obtain four legs, attach the legs to holes in bottom of unit with bolts and washers supplied with the leg kit. (See Figure 20).

7. Open freestanding kit and obtain the stand. Place the stand against bottom of heater (angle side to heater).Center stand front to rear and also center stand left and right. Mark screw locations on bottom of the stove through outer holes of stand mounting angles. Set stand aside and drill four 7/32" holes in heater bottom.Then mount stand to bottom of heater with screws provided. (See Figure 21).

8. Obtain four (4) 3/16" self-tapping screws and secure the stand to the heater.

9. Reposition the heater to the upright position.
