This manual contains instructions for Installation, Operation & Maintenance.

Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to follow

instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:

1) When installing your stove, particular attention should be paid to fire protection. If this room heater is not properly installed,

a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions. Contact local building or fire officials or
authority having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection and permit requirements in your area.

2) CAUTION: Never use gasoline or gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from heater while it is in use.

3) During operation, if any part of the stove starts to glow, the stove is in an overfired condition. Close the air controls completely
until the glowing has stopped. OVERFIRING VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY!

4) Cool ashes should be disposed of carefully, using a metal container.

5) Do not burn wet or green wood. Store wood in a dry location.

6) DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. Do not burn
treated wood, or wood with salt (driftwood, etc.). Burning materials other than wood (including charcoal) under adverse
conditions may generate carbon monoxide in the home, resulting in illness or possible death.

7) Do not permit creosote or soot to accumulate excessively in the chimney or inside the firebox.

8) Check your chimney system thoroughly when installing into an existing metal or masonry chimney. Seek professional
advice if in doubt about its condition.

9) Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue already serving another appliance.

10) Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as shown in this manual for this appliance.

11) Build fire on brick firebox floor. Do not use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.

12) HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! Keep children, pets, clothing and furniture away. Contact can cause skin burns.

13) Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.

14) RISK OF FIRE! Do not operate with stove door open without the firescreen or with the ash removal system door open.

15) For further information refer to NFPA 211 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B365 (Canada).

16) Do not operate without fully assembling all components.

17) Do not operate with broken glass.

PRIOR TO FIRST FIRE: Remove all labels from glass. Clean plated surfaces with a glass cleaner and soft cloth to

prevent staining from fingerprint oils.

LISTINGS and SAFETY NOTICES

These installation instructions describe the installation and operation
of the QUADRA-FIRE Cumberland Gap woodstove. This stove
meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 1990 particulate
emission standards. The Cumberland Gap is listed by OMNI-Test
Laboratories, Inc. to UL Safety Standard 1482, UL737 and ULC
S627, and (UM) 84-HUD, OMNI Report Number 061-S-55-2. The
Cumberland Gap is approved for mobile home installations when
not installed in a sleeping room and when an outside combustion
air inlet is provided. The structural integrity of the mobile home
floor, ceiling, and walls must be maintained. The stove must be
properly grounded to the frame of the mobile home and use only
listed double-wall connector pipe. Outside Air Kit, Part 831-1780
must be installed in a mobile home installation.

Check with your local building code agency before you begin your
installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the
need for permits and follow-up inspections. Be sure local building
codes do not supersede UL specifications and always obtain a
building permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be
unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during
installation, please contact your local dealer.

Inspect and clean vent system frequently in accordance with the
instructions contained in this manual. Do not connect this unit to
a chimney serving another appliance.

When using optional Blower, Part 831-1701, route power cord away
from unit. Do not route cord under or in front of appliance.

Do not elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on firebrick.

Do not overfire - if heater or chimney connector glows, you are
overfiring. Stove thermometer recommended.

Operate only with the door closed unless you are using the fire­screen. Open only to add fuel to the fire or when using the fire­screen. Operating with the door open can cause hot embers or
sparks to fall out and a fire may result.

I

NSTALLATION MATERIALS NEEDED FOR YOUR SAFETY

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (also known as flue pipe or stove pipe):

T

he chimney connector joins the stove to the chimney (see

page 11).

It must be 6” (152mm) minimum diameter 24 MSG
black or blued steel, or an approved air-insulated double wall
venting pipe.

THIMBLE: A manufactured or site-constructed device installed in
combustible walls through which the chimney connector passes to
the chimney (see pages 13-14). It is intended to keep the walls
from igniting.

CHIMNEY SYSTEMS

:

A. APPROVED MASONRY (see specifications on page 12)

with at least 5/8” (16mm) fire clay lining joined with refractory
cement or other listed system suitable for use with wood
stoves.

B. PREFABRICATED 6" (152mm) listed high temperature (UL

103 HT or ULC S629) chimney. Components required by
manufacturers for installation such as the chimney support
base, firestop (as appropriate), attic insulation shield, insulated
tee, etc., are necessary to assure a safe chimney installation.
Use only components manufactured for the chimney. Chimney
installation should meet NFPA 211 standards.

Page 4

7006-188E

FIRE SAFETY: To provide reasonable fire safety, the following
should be given serious consideration:

1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your
home to ensure your safety. They should be located away
from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas.
Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement
and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain
regularly.

2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend
with small fires resulting from burning embers.

3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.

4. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:

In the event of a chimney fire:

A. Notify fire department.
B. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation.
C. Close all openings into the stove.
D. While awaiting fire department, watch for ignition of

adjacent combustibles from overheated stove pipe,
hot embers or sparks from the chimney.

VENTING SYSTEM

The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a
chimney. These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures
inside the chimney may exceed 2000°F (1100°C) in the event of
a creosote fire. To protect against the possibility of a house fire,
the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed
and maintained. An approved thimble must be used when a
connection is made through a combustible wall to a chimney.
A chimney support package must be used when a connection
is made through the ceiling to a prefabricated chimney. These
accessories are absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances
to combustible wall and ceiling material. Follow venting
manufacturer’s clearances when installing venting system.

This stove may be connected to a lined masonry chimney or a
listed high temperature prefabricated approved metal chimney.
Do not connect it to a chimney serving another appliance. To do
so will affect the safe operation of both appliances.

WARNING! NEVER DRAW OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR FROM A
WALL, FLOOR OR CEILING CAVITY OR FROM ANY ENCLOSED
SPACE SUCH AS AN ATTIC OR GARAGE.

WARNING ! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS WOODSTOVE
WITHOUT READING AND UNDERSTANDING THESE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY. FAILURE TO OPERATE THIS
APPLIANCE PROPERLY MAY CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE IS HOT WHILE IN OPERATION AND
MAY REMAIN SO UP TO 40 MINUTES OR LONGER AFTER THERE
IS NO FUEL IN THE FIREBOX. IF THIS APPLIANCE IS IN A HIGH
TRAFFIC AREA OR CHILDREN MAY BE NEAR IT IS RECOM­MENDED THAT YOU PURCHASE A DECORATIVE BARRIOR TO GO
IN FRONT OF THE APPLIANCE.

FLOOR PROTECTION

Minimum Hearth Requirements ONLY

See page 6 for stove clearances

The floor must be non-combustible material, extending beneath heater and to the front/sides/rear as indicated. The floor must be a
minimum of 1/2" thickness ("k" value = 0.84) non-combustible or otherwise adequately protected from radiant heat given off by the unit
and from sparks and falling embers. A layer of thin brick or ceramic tile over a combustible floor is not sufficient. See Alternate Floor
Protection on page 8.

In USA installations, it is necessary to install a non-combustible floor protector at least 16" in front and 8" to both sides of the fuel loading
doors. See *exception below.

In Canada, similar floor protection must be provided 18" (450mm) in front and 8" (200mm) from the sides and rear of the stove. See
*exception below.

*EXCEPTION: Non-combustible floor protections must extend beneath the flue pipe when installed with horizontal venting and extend

2" (51mm) beyond each side.

Calculating Alternate Floor Protection Material

Thermal Conductivity: k value

The k value indicates the amount of heat (in BTU’s) that will flow
in 1 hour through 1 square foot of a uniform material 1 inch thick
for each degree (F) of temperature difference from one side of
the material to the other. The LOWER the k factor means less
heat is being conducted through the non-combustible material to
the combustible material beneath it. The k value of a material
must be equal or smaller then the required k value to be accept­able.
(BTU) (inch)
(foot

Thermal Resistance: R value

The R value is a measure of a material’s resisteance to heat
transfer. R value is convenient when more than one material is
used since you can add the R values together, whereas you can
not do this for k value. The HIGHER the R factor means less
heat is being conducted through the non-combustible material to
the combustible material beneath it. The R value of a material
must be equal or larger then the required R value to be accept­able.

Converting k to R:

Divide 1 by k and multiply the results times the thickness in inch­es of the material.

R = 1/k x inches of thickness

Converting R to k:

Divide the inches of thickness by R.

k = inches of thickness/R

Calculatons:

Example: Floor protection requires k value of 0.84 and 3/4 inch
thick.

Alternative material has a k value of 0.6 and is 3/4 inch thick.

Divide 0.6 by .75 = k value of 0.80. This k value is smaller than

0.84 and therefore is acceptable.

LOCATING YOUR STOVE

WHEN LOCATING YOUR STOVE consider safety, convenience, traffic flow, and the fact that the stove will need a chimney and chimney

connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before
actually beginning the installation. If you’re not using an existing chimney, place the stove where there will be a clear passage for a
factory-built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.

AVOID FIRE: Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the
designated air space clearance around the chimney. This space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat removal from the
area. Insulation in this space will cause a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by

means approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

WE RECOMMEND that you have a qualified building inspector and your insurance company representative review your plans before

and after installation.

IMPORTANT!

If stove is relocated it must meet minimum required clearances in new
location to use the side fuel loading door or door must be locked in place.

SIDE FUEL-LOADING-DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM

R

The side fuel-loading-door is shipped locked in place. You must
first decide where you are locating your stove and determine if
you meet the minimum required clearances from combustibles
for loading wood into the firebox from the side door. If you do not
meet the clearances found on pages 6-8, leave the door locked in
place. If you unlock the door without meeting the minimum requried
clearances YOU WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND ASSUME
ALL RESPONSIBILITY. If you do meet the minimum clearances,
follow the steps to unlock the door. If in the future you decide to
relocate your stove, again determine if you meet the mimimum
required clearances to combustibles in the new location. If you
do not, you are required to lock the door shut and it must remain
locked at all times.

UNLOCK SIDE FUEL DOOR

1. Open front doors.

2. Using a 5-32 Allen wrench,
remove the bolt from the lock­ing bracket.

3. Save the bracket and bolt for
potential future use.

LEG LEVELING SYSTEM

1. Thread Allen bolts through nuts until flush. Figure 9A. The

firebox.

2. Slide assembled nuts and bolts into slots on legs with the nuts on the bottom. Figure 9B. Use a 5-32" (4mm) Allen wrench to adjust
legs up and down to desired level. Figure 9C

Allen bolts and nuts are included in the component pack inside the stove

CHIMNEY HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS / DRAFT

To be sure that your Quadra-Fire stove burns properly, the
chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.04”
water column (W.C.) during a low burn and -.10” W.C. during
a high burn, measured 6” (152mm) above the top of the stove
after one hour of operation at each burn setting.
are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat for individual
installations.

This stove was designed for and tested on a 6” (152mm)
chimney, 12 ft.-14 ft. (360-420cm) high, measured from the
base of the stove. The further your stack height or diameter
varies from this configuration, the possibility of performance
problems increases. In addition, exterior conditions such
as roof line, surrounding trees, prevailing winds and nearby
hills can influence stove performance. Your local dealer is
the expert in your geographic area and can usually make
suggestions or discover problems that will easily correct
your flue draft problem, allowing your woodstove and its flue
system to operate correctly and provide safe and economical
heat for your home.

A masonry chimney or a listed factory-built UL103 HT Class
“A” chimney must be the required height above the roof
and any other nearby obstructions. The chimney must be
at least 3 ft. (91cm) higher than the highest point where it
passes through the roof and at least 2 ft. (61cm) higher than
the highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10 ft.
(305cm) of the chimney, measured horizontally. See 2-10-3

Rule, Figure 11A

T

hese are safety requirements and are not meant to

assure proper flue draft.

We recommend using a minimum total system height of 12
ft. (360cm), measured from the flue collar to the top of the
chimney (not including chimney cap).

FLUE SYSTEMS

There are two separate and different parts to a flue system:
the chimney connector and the chimney itself.

A. Single wall connector or stove pipe. This must be at

least 24 gauge mild steel or 26 gauge blue steel. The
sections must be attached to the stove and to each other
with the crimped (male) end pointing toward the stove.
See Figure 11B. All joints, including the connection
at the stove collar, should be secured with three sheet
metal screws. Make sure to follow the minimum clear­ances to combustibles as set out on pages 6-8 of this
manual. Where passage through the wall, or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to CAN/CSA-B365.

B. Factory-built listed chimney connector (vented). A

listed connector (vented) must be used when installing
this unit in a mobile home or residental home. They must
conform to each other to ensure a prope fit and seal.

Availability of combustion air: A source of air (oxygen) is
necessary in order for combustion to take place. It is impor­tant to realize that whatever combustion air is consumed
by the fire must be replaced. If you are using room air, the
air is replaced via air leakage that occurs around windows
and under doors, etc. However, in most newly constructed
houses, mobile homes, or even existing homes that are
fitted with tightly sealed doors and windows, the area from
which the combustion air is taken is relatively air tight. In
these cases, an outside air source must be made available
to feed combustion air from outside the home into the stove.
An Outside Air Kit is available for the Cumberland Gap as an
option, Part 831-1780. The kit is a requirement for mobile
home installations.
