Safety Notice:
•If this appliance is not properly ins tall ed, a house fire may result. For
your safety, follow the installation directions. Contact local building
or fire officials about restricti ons and installati on inspection
requirements in your area.
•Read and follow all of the warnings on pages 2 and 3 of this manual.
Before Your First Fire
Clean Any Gold Surfaces
If you have an optional gold face,
clean the surface prior to starting
the fireplace. Any marks left on the
gold may become etched-in by the
heat of the fireplace. Use
denatured alcohol and a soft cloth
to clean.
Verify the Installation
Denatured
Alcohol
Soft Cloth
Before starting the fireplace, verify that the fireplace is properly installed and all of the requirements in
the 36 Elite-ZC Installation Manual have been followed.
Keep all flammables 36" away from the front of the fireplace (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc.).
Do not use a fireplace insert or other products not specified for use in this fireplace.
Curing the Paint
This heater uses a heat-activated paint that will emit some fumes
while starting the first fire. Open doors and windows to the
room to vent these fumes. This typically lasts two to four hours.
You may also notice oil burning off of the interior of the heater.
This rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate.
Door Gasket – The door gasket might adhere to the paint on
the front of the fireplace. Leave the door slightly ajar for the first
fire and be careful when opening the door after the first fire.
2 to 4 hours
Over-Firing the Fireplace (Over-Firing may void your warranty)
This fireplace was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in vent
configuration, fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If the area
behind the faceplate or other area starts to glow red, you are over-firing the fireplace (this may damage
the optional gold surface, internal components, and void the warranty). Do not burn excessively large
fires for a long time. Shut the air control down and allow the fireplace to cool if you detect over-firing.
Operating the Fireplace During a Power Outage
This fireplace includes a blower to dissipate heat from the firebox. During power outages build small to
medium-sized fires to prevent the fireplace from over-firing (especially if you have a gold face).
Acid Wash
Some installations utilize a masonry facing or hearth. This masonry is often cleaned with muriatic acid.
This acid may damage gold finish once the fireplace reaches temperature. Verify with your mason that
all masonry is fully neutralized using ammonia water or other alkaline.

•Make sure the air control is open (all the way to the left). If additional air is needed, open the doors
1/4" during the first five minutes of start-up.
•If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of newspaper, place it in the center of
the grate and light it. This should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air blockage").
• 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.
•If using a firestarter, use only products specifically designed for
fireplaces - follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
•Use plenty of kindling to ensure the fireplace reaches a proper
temperature. Once the kindling is burning rapidly, place a few
larger pieces of wood onto the fire.

Maintaining Catalytic Burn-Off
This fireplace uses a catalytic combustor to increase heat transfer to the room and reduce emissions.
The catalytic combustor
takes dirty smoke and turns it
into extra heat and cleaner
emissions.
NOTE: If the combustor is engaged
(bypass closed) when the fireplace
is still cool, it will not work, leading
to dirty smoke, no extra heat, and a
dirtier combustor.
Warning: The bypass control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
Follow the directions below to utilize the combustor to its fullest potential.
•Keep the by-pass open (pulled out) until the fireplace becomes hot (approximately 15 to 30 minutes).
•Close the by-pass (push in) when the fireplace is hot.
•Keep the by-pass closed (pushed in) while the fireplace is operating, except when re-loading.
Hint:The combustor can be viewed through the glass from below. You will notice the
combustor glowing red when the combustor is working effectively.
With the by-pass open (pulled out), the smoke passes through
the by-pass and does not go through the combustor.
With the by-pass closed (pushed in), the
smoke passes through the combustor.

Re-Loading the Fireplace
Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the fireplace.
1Pull the by-pass out all the way (use a glove or tool).
2Move the air control to high (all the way left).
3Open the door slightly. Let the airflow inside the firebox to stabilize before opening the doors fully.
4Load wood onto the fire (on top of the grate).
Overnight Burn
This fireplace is large enough to accommodate overnight, 10 to 12 hour burns. Follow the steps
below to achieve an overnight burn.
1Get the fireplace hot by opening the air control (all the way left) and letting the fireplace burn on high
for 15 minutes.
2Load as much wood as possible. Use large pieces if possible.
3Let the fireplace burn on high for 15 minutes to keep the fireplace hot, then turn the air control to low.
4In the morning the fireplace should still be hot, with embers in the coal bed. Stir the coals and load
small pieces of wood to re-ignite the fire, if desired.
Note:Differences if chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.
Normal Operating Sounds
Blower Air
Dependent upon blower placement, you
may hear a slight "whirring" sound
coming from the blower. Turning the
blower down may reduce the sound.
Firebox Body
You may notice some "clicks" and
"creaks" coming from inside the fireplace.
This is most noticeable when the fireplace
is warming up to temperature and cooling
down.
Hints for Burning
•Get the appliance hot before adjusting to low burn
•Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and high burns to increase temperature
•Use larger pieces of wood for overnight or sustained burns
•Stack the wood tightly together to establish a longer burn
•Leave a bed of ashes (1/2" deep) to allow for longer burns
•Be considerate of neighbors & the environment: burn dry wood only
•Burn small, intense fires instead of large, slow burning fires when possible
•Learn your appliance's operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance

Testing Wood Moisture
Wood cut, split and stored in a dry area will be fully dry within a year. This insures dry wood. If
purchasing wood for immediate use, test the wood with a moisture meter. Some experienced wood
burners can measure wood moisture by knocking pieces together and listening for a clear "knock" and
not a "thud".
Why Dry Wood is Key
Wet wood, when burned, must release water stored within the wood. This cools the fire, creates
creosote, and hampers a complete burn. Ask any experienced wood burner and he or she will agree:
dry wood is crucial to good performance.
Wood Cutting and Storage
Cut wood to length and
chop into quarters.
Store the wood off the ground in a
covered area. Allow for airflow
around the wood to dry the wood.

Don't Burn Treated Wood, Wax Logs, Coal, Garbage, Etc.
This fireplace has a catalytic combustor (see page 9) designed specifically to work with emissions from
cord wood. Other fuels may clog or contaminate the combustor, leading to a drastic loss in heat
output, increased emissions, and damage to the combustor.
In addition, fuel other than cord wood may burn excessively hot, leading to a serious fire hazard.

•Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper to
establish a draft.
•By-pass is Closed - Open the by-pass by pulling the
ring above the door all the way out.
•Close the doors - if the flame is not getting enough air,
first make sure the air control is open (all the way left). If
additional air is needed, a small crack in the door is all
that is needed.
•Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper to

•By-Pass is Closed - Open the by-pass (the ring above
the doors) using gloves or a tool before opening the
door.
•Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside
conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases a
small amount of smoke may enter the home. Adding
more pipe or a draft-inducing cap may help.

•Wood is Wet - see the section "Selecting Wood" on
page 12 for details on wood.
•Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside
conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases
the fire may burn slowly. Adding more pipe or a draftinducing cap may help.
•Air Control is Not Wide Open - Make sure the air control
is all the way to the left. Slide the control back and forth
rapidly to insure the control is not stuck.
•Fireplace is Not Up to Temperature - This is normal.
The blower will come on when the fireplace is hot usually 15 to 30 minutes.
•Electricity is Cut to the Blower - Check the household
breaker or fuse to make sure it is operable.
•This is Normal - The air leading into the firebox comes
from the exterior. In some cases this air comes into the
firebox and exits up the chimney. This will not damage
the fireplace nor cool the home much.
•The doors are not sealing - See the section "Check the
Door Seal, Adjust if Necessary" on page 16 for details.

14Maintenance
Daily Maintenance (while fireplace is in use)
Check Ash, Remove if Necessary
Ash can build up inside the firebox without affecting performance. Generally, remove ash once it has
built up over 1" (or more often if desired). Follow the directions below to remove ash.
1Let the fireplace cool completely (at least two hours after the last coal has extinguished).
2Place a cloth or cardboard protector over the hearth to catch ash and protect against scratching.
3Open the doors. Remove the grate and place it on the protector.
4Scoop the ash into an air-tight, metal container. Place a lid over the container and take outside. Store
the container away from the structure to ensure the ashes are entirely cold. Then dispose the ashes.
ASHES
Warning: Improperly disposed ashes lead to fires. Hot ashes placed in cardboard boxes, dumped
in back yards, or stored in garages, are recipes for disaster.
Note:Wood-burning fireplaces are inherently dirty. During cleaning have a vacuum ready to
catch spilled ash (make sure ash is entirely extinguished).
Note:There are vacuum cleaners specifically made to remove ash (even if the ash is warm).
Contact your Fireplace Xtrordinair dealer for details.
Clean any Gold Surfaces if Necessary
With the fireplace cool, clean any gold surfaces. Any marks left on the gold may become etched-in by
the heat of the fireplace. Use denatured alcohol and a soft cloth to clean.

Twice Yearly Maintenance
Check Firebrick, Baffle
With the fireplace completely cool, remove ash from the firebox (see the instructions on the previous
page) and check the firebrick and baffle.
The baffle should be intact - some
warping and flaking is not uncommon. It
rests on three tabs at the rear of the
firebox and should be pushed all the
way back. NOTE: the bend should go
upwards.
Make sure the firebrick is intact.

when doors are opened)
Clean the Combustor
With the fireplace completely cool (at least two hours after the last coal has extinguished), use a
vacuum cleaner to draw all ash from the catalytic combustor (see the illustration below).
The catalytic combustor is located
above the firebox. It can be seen by
looking from below with the doors open.
To clean the combustor, use a vacuum
cleaner to suck out ash and other
deposits inside the square holes of the
combustor. The brush attachment is
especially effective in removing ash.
WARNING: The combustor becomes
extremely hot during operation. Wait at
least two hours after the last coal has
extinguished before cleaning.
Clean the Blower Filter
The remote blower has a removable cover to allow for cleaning of the filter. This filter can be removed
and washed to clean dust and debris. See the directions to the right to remove the filter.

Check Door Seal, Adjust if Necessary
The door latch and door gasket work in conjunction to seal the firebox. If the doors do not seal, air will
leak into the firebox and cause the fire to burn too fast. This reduces the ability to burn the fireplace
overnight or precisely adjust the burn rate. Follow the directions below to check the door gasket.
Check the door
gasket. It should
adhere to the door
and be intact
(check both
doors). The
gasket follows the
perimter of the
door along the
outside edge (the
inside edge does
not have gasket).
Follow the directions below to check the door latch.
When closing the doors, the handle should pull the doors in and dreate a snug fit. If it
doesn’t check the following two items.

Check Chimney for Creosote Build-Up
Remove the chimney cap and carefully inspect for creosote build-up over the entire length of
chimney. If creosote build-up is over 1/4", the chimney must be thoroughly cleaned. Failure to clean
the chimney may lead to a fire.
Hint:Chimney cleaning is a very dirty, complicated, and dangerous task. We strongly
recommend you have a professional chimney sweep conduct this service.
Warning: Chimney fires are created by excessive creosote build-up. To prevent this dangerous
situation, have your chimney inspected twice per year minimum.
