Hot glass will cause burns.

• DO NOT touch glass until it is cooled

• NEVER allow children to touch glass

• Keep children away

• CAREFULLY SUPERVISE children in same room as  replace.

• Alert children and adults to hazards of high temperatures.

High temperatures may ignite clothing or other  ammable materials.

• Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other  ammable materials away.

B. Seasoned Wood

Properly seasoned wood is important for successful operation of your replace. Most woodburning replace problems are caused by burning wet, unseasoned wood.

Seasoned rewood is wood that is cut to size, split and air dried to a moisture content of around 20%.

Imagine a wooden bucket that weighs about eight pounds. Fill it with a gallon of water, put it in the replace and try to burn it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly what you are doing if you burn unseasoned wood.

A tree cut down a year ago and not split is likely to have almost as high a moisture content now as it did when it was cut.

Please refer to Section 2.M for more detail.

C. Starting a Fire

NOTICE: You must establish a good draft to prevent smoke spillage into the room.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids clear of the replace.

DO NOT:

• store ammable materials close to the replace

• use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a re in this replace.

Keep all ammable liquids well away from the replace while it is in use. Combustible materials may ignite.

D. Grate

This replace is designed to be used with the grate supplied with this unit or one approved by HHT. The grate will break down over time and will need occasional replacement.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use only the factory-supplied integral grate.

• Keeps logs in place.

• Allows proper air circulation around the re.

E. Firescreen

The rescreen is provided to control sparks. Keep it closed when the replace is in use.

WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns!

• Screen will not prevent burning materials from falling out.

• Screen pulls or handles may be hot.

F. Flue Damper

• Refer to Figure 2.1 for location of control.

• Must be in fully open position (handle up toward the top of the replace) during operation of the replace.

• Before lighting the replace, verify fully open position by looking up from the inside of the replace.

WARNING! Risk of Fire and Asphyxiation! Open

damper prior to operating replace. A closed damper overres the replace and spills smoke and ames into the room.

• The rst three or four res should be of moderate size to allow the oils and binders to be burned from the replace and the refractory and paint to cure. You may notice an industrial odor the rst few res. This is considered normal.

• Use well-seasoned wood.

• Open the ue damper to a fully open position.

• Place crumpled or twisted paper under the replace grate.

• Loosely arrange kindling or small pieces of wood to form a ‘tent’ on the replace grate.

• Pre-warm the ue to establish a draft to help reduce smoke spillage during start-up. Hold a rolled up piece of burning newspaper under the ue damper for a few moments.

• Light the crumpled paper to ignite the kindling.

• Add small pieces of wood until a hot bed of embers has been established.

• Add a minimum of three average size pieces of split rewood, placed to allow combustion air and ames between them.

CAUTION! Odors and vapors released during initial

operation may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

Open windows for air circulation.

G. Refractory

• The refractory is supplied to contain heat and provide an attractive interior.

• It will break down over time and will need occasional replacement. Small hairline cracks and discoloration are normal and do not affect its safety.

• (See refractory maintenance Section 3.C.)

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT burn replace with-

out refractory. Use only refractory supplied by Hearth & Home Technologies, Inc.

M. Wood Fuel

Hardwood vs Softwood

Your replace performance depends on the quality of the rewood you use.

• Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per pound .

• Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.

• Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods.

• Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower and are harder to ignite.

• Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are easier to ignite.

• Start the re with soft wood to bring the replace up to operating temperature and to establish draft.

• Add hard wood for slow, even heat and longer burn time.

Soft woods Hard woods

• Douglas Fir • Oak

• Pine • Maple

• Spruce • Apple

• Cedar • Birch

• Poplar

• Aspen

• Alder

Moisture

WARNING! Risk of Fire!

• DO NOT burn wet or green wood.

• Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of creosote.

The majority of the problems replace owners experience are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.

• Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate the water instead of heating your home, and

• Evaporating moisture cools your chimney, accelerating formation of creosote.

Seasoned Wood

• Cut logs to size

• Split to 6 in. (152 mm) or less

• Air dry to a moisture content of around 20%

- Soft wood - about nine months

- Hard wood - about eighteen months

NOTICE: Seasoning time may vary depending on drying

conditions.

Storing Wood

Steps to ensure properly seasoned wood:

• Stack wood to allow air to circulate freely around and through woodpile.

• Elevate wood pile off ground to allow air circulation underneath.

• Smaller pieces of wood dry faster. Any piece over 6 in. (152 mm) in diameter should be split.

• Wood (whole or split) should be stacked so both ends of each peice are exposed to air. More drying occurs through the cut ends than the sides.

• Store wood under cover to prevent water absorbtion from rain or snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends completely.

WARNING! Fire Risk! DO NOT store wood:

• In front of the replace.

• In space required for loading or ash removal.

Processed Solid Fuel Firelogs

Manufactured relogs may be used with this replace. Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends the use of UL Classied processed fuel relogs. Follow the manufacturer’s lighting and safety instructions.

Using relogs may require more frequent chimney inspection and cleaning.

Do not poke or stir the logs while they are burning. Use only relogs that have been evaluated for the application in manufactured replaces and refer to relog warnings and caution markings on packaging prior to use.

Maintenance and Service

A. Disposal of Ashes

Frequency: When they reach bottom of grate By: Homeowner

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashes could contain hot embers.

• Place ashes in a metal container with a tight-tting lid.

• The closed container should be placed on a noncombustible oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending nal 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.

B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning

Frequency: At least twice a year during heating season

or as recommended by a certied chimney sweep By: Certied chimney sweep

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ignited creosote is extremely HOT. Prevent creosote buildup.

Refer to Figure 3.1 to remove/reinstall termination caps.

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 ue of a slow-burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot re.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! A chimney re can permanently damage your chimney system and nearby structures.

In the event of a chimney re, Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends

• replacement of the chimney, and

• inspection of the adjacent structure to the provisions of NFPA Level III inspection criteria.

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 it shall be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re.

C. Check Firebox Refractory

Frequency: After each ash removal By: Homeowner

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Inspect replace refractory. Crumbling, deteriorated refractory can allow overheating of surrounding materials.

Expansion and contraction will cause minor cracking of the refractory. This is normal. The refractory will require periodic replacement depending on use.

The panels should be replaced if

• Cracks exceed ¼ inch (6 mm) in width,

• Metal is exposed behind the refractory,

• Large pieces of refractory fall out.

D. Inspect Grate

Frequency: After each ash removal By: Homeowner

Inspect grate for:

• Warping or sagging 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) or more

• Broken welds

• Burn-through of grate bars For safe operation, replace only with an approved grate

from Hearth & Homes Technologies Inc.

E. Glass Cleaning

Frequency: As desired By: Homeowner

CAUTION! Handle glass assembly with care. Glass is breakable.

• Avoid striking, scratching or slamming glass

• Avoid abrasive cleaners

• DO NOT clean glass while it is hot

Clean glass with a non-abrasive commercially available cleaner or ashes:

• Light deposits

- Use household glass cleaner

• Heavy deposits

- Use wood ash on damp cloth or,

- Use commercial replace glass cleaner (consult with your dealer)

D. Negative PressureB. Design and Installation Considerations

NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.

• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re ofcials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

Before installing, determine the following:

• Where the replace is to be installed

• The vent system conguration to be used

• Gas supply piping

• Electrical wiring

• Framing and nishing details

• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall switch or remote control —are desired

C. Draft

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent replaces successfully. When a replace is drafting successfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the chimney.

Considerations for successful draft include:

• Preventing negative pressure

• Location of replace and chimney

NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the replace system caused by:

• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions

• Downdrafts

• Tight sealing construction of the structure

• Mechanical exhausting devices

• Improper location of the chimney

WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Fire must draft properly for safe operation.

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the replace to operate properly. It can be strongest in lower levels of the house.

Causes include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)

• Range hoods

• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters and other combustion appliances

• Clothes dryers

• Locat i o n of retur n - air ven t s to fu rnac e o r a i r conditioning

• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system

• Upper level air leaks such as:

- Recessed lighting

- Attic hatch

- Duct leaks

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:

• Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing winds during the heating season

• Ensure adequate outd oor air for all combustion appliances and exhaust equipment

• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not located in the immediate vicinity of the replace

• Avoid installing the replace near doors, walkways or small isolated spaces

• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design

• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed

• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed

• Basement installations should be avoided

NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends

the use of direct vent replaces in basements.

E. Locating Fireplace & Chimney

Location of the replace and chimney will affect performance.

• Install within the warm airspace enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die-down of the re.

• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the effects of wind loading.

• Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.

• Minimize the use of chimney offsets.

• Consider the replace location relative to oor and ceiling and attic joists.

• Take into consideration the termination requirements in Section 8 and Section 9.

NOTICE: Locating the replace in a basement or in a location of considerable air movement can cause intermittent smoke spillage from replace. Do not locate replace near

• frequently open doors

• central heat outlets or returns

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must maintain 2 in. (51 mm) air space clearance to insulation and other combustible materials around the chimney system. Failure to do so may cause overheating and re.

Table 8.1

Determine the chimney components needed to complete your particular installation:

• Measure the total vertical height of the fireplace installation from the base of the replace assembly to the approximate location of the bottom of the termination cap.

• Subtract the effective height of the replace assembly (see Figure 8.2) from the total vertical height to determine the overall height of the chimney installation.

• Create a schematic for your application similar to Figure

8.2 showing components required (referring to Table

8.1). Figure 8.1 identies those components and where used.

• Install a ceiling restop whenever the chimney penetrates a oor/ceiling.

NOTICE: A maximum of two pairs of offsets and returns

may be used.

CAUTION! Risk of Fire and/or Asphyxiation! DO

NOT connect this replace to a chimney ue servicing

another appliance. DO NOT connect to any air distribu- tion duct or system. These actions could cause overheating/re in the chimney ue, or release of exhaust fumes into the living areas.

B. Using Offsets/Returns

• Use an offset/return to bypass overhead obstructions.

• An offset and return can be used as a single entity or separated by chimney section(s).

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT use offset/returns greater than 30°. Chimney draft will be restricted and could cause

overheating and re.

• Measure the shift needed to avoid the overhead obstruction. Refer to dimension A in Figure 8.3.

• Find the appropriate A dimension listed in Table 8.2.

• The B dimension coinciding with the A dimension measurement in Table 8.2 represents the required vertical clearance needed to complete the offset/return.

• Read across the chart to nd the number of chimney sections/model numbers needed between the offset and return.

Example:

Your “A” dimension from Figure 8.3 is 14 1/2 in. (368 mm). Using Table 8.2 the dimension closest to, but not less than 14 1/2 in. (368 mm) is 14 1/2 in. (368 mm) using a 30° offset/return.

You determine from the table that you need 34 1/8 in. (867 mm) (Dimension “B”) between the offset and return.

C. Assemble Chimney Sections

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT install substitute or damaged chimney components.

• Use only those components described in this manual.

Substitute or damaged chimney components could impair safe operation and cause overheating and re.

• Support the pipe during construction and check to be sure inadvertent loading has not dislodged the chimney section from the replace or at any chimney joint.

• Attach a straight chimney section or an offset to the top of the replace.

• Place inner ue to the inside of the chimney section below it. Place the outer casing outside the outer casing of the chimney section below it. Refer to Figure 8.4.

NOTICE: Chimney sections cannot be disassembled

once locked together. Plan ahead!

• Lock chimney sections and/or offsets/returns together by pushing downward until the top section meets the stop bead on the lower section.

• Pull on the top section to make sure it is fully engaged and will not separate.

• You may use #6 or #8 sheet metal screws no longer than 1/2 in. (13 mm) to fasten chimney sections together. Do NOT penetrate inner ue.

Figure 8.4 Assembling Chimney Sections

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST use screws (pro-

vided) to fasten offset/returns to chimney sections to keep the chimney parts from twisting. Failure to do so could cause re.

• Fasten offset/returns to chimney sections. Insert the screws (provided) through the predrilled holes. Do NOT penetrate inner ue.

• Secure chimney returns with hanger straps provided; fasten to studs or joists.

• Vertical straight runs of chimney must be supported every 35 ft (10.7 m).

D. Install Chimney Air Kit

Note:

Use same dimensional lumber for framing

E. Install Ceiling Firestops

CAUTION! Risk of Fire! Ceiling restops must be used whenever the chimney penetrates a ceiling/oor.

• Chase construction requires ceiling restops at each oor or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space.

• The ceiling restop slows spread of re and reduces cold air inltration.

• Install a ceiling restop whenever chimney penetrates ceiling/oor.

• Mark and cut an opening in ceiling as shown in Figure 8.5.

• Frame the opening with the same size lumber used in the ceiling joists.

• Nail the ceiling restop to the bottom of the ceiling joists when there is a room above.

• Use an attic insulation shield if the ceiling is insulated. The ceiling restop may then be attached above or below the joists.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT seal area between

restop opening and chimney pipe except where they enter the attic or leave the warm air envelope of the home (use 600° F sealant).

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST install an attic insulation shield when there is any possibility of insulation or other combustible material coming into contact with the chimney.

• DO NOT pack insulation between the chimney and the attic insulation shield.

• Failure to keep insulation and other materials away from chimney pipe could cause re.

• DO NOT offset chimney inside insulation shield.

Installation of a ceiling restop is required

• Refer to Figures 8.6 - 8.8.

• Roll the shield (around the chimney if already installed) until you have a 3 in. (76 mm) overlap and the three holes on each side match up (large holes on top).

• Insert three screws into the matching holes to form a tube.

• Bend three tabs on the bottom of the tube inward to 90° to maintain chimney air space (refer to Figure 8.6).

• Rest the insulation shield on the ceiling restop below.

• Bend the three short tabs at the top of the shield inward to 90° to maintain the 2 in. (51 mm) air space from the chimney.

• Bend the remaining top tabs to just meet the pipe.

Figure 8.6 Prepare Attic Insulation Shield

If you wish to make a custom shield or barrier, follow these guidelines:

• Metal is preferred, although any material stiff enough to hold back the insulation can be used.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use of cardboard or other

materials that can deect under humidity or other environmental conditions is not recommended.

• The shield or barrier must be tall enough to extend above the insulation and prevent blown-in insulation from spilling into the cavity.

• Maintain specied air spaces around chimney.

• Check instructions and local codes for further details.

G. Cut out Hole in Roof

• Refer to Figure 8.9.

• Plumb from roof to center of chimney.

• Drive a nail up through roof to mark center of pipe.

• Measure to either side of nail and mark the 14-1/2 in. x 14-1/2 in. (368 mm x 368 mm) opening required.

• Measure opening on the horizontal; actual length may be larger depending on roof pitch.

• Cut out and frame opening.

• Refer to Chapter 25 of the Uniform Building Code for roof framing details.

H. Complete Installation

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST maintain 2 in. (51 mm) air space to insulation and other combustible materials around the chimney system. Failure to do so could cause overheating and re.

• Keep chimney sections from separating or twisting.

• You may secure straight chimney sections at the joints with screws no longer than 1/2 in. (13 mm).

The following steps should be skipped if using a

chase.

• Install roof ashing appropriate to roof pitch.

• Install round termination cap and storm collar.

I. Install Flashing

• Assemble chimney so it passes through the framed opening.

• Slip the ashing over the chimney.

NOTICE: Roong shingles must be below the ashing

plate on the lower side of a sloped roof and over the ashing plate on the sides and top.

• Nail the ashing to the roof. Keep gaps between the ashing plate and the roof to a minimum.

• Caulk the ashing plate and roof junction as well as the vertical seam on the ashing. All nail heads must be caulked with a roong sealant.

• Caulk the overlap seam of any exposed pipe sections



that are located above the roof line to prevent leaks.

A. Construct the Chase

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the replace and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run on the outside of a building must be installed inside a chase.

Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. Local building codes MUST be checked.

A chase should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building envelope in any manner. All outer walls need to be insulated.

Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling restops at each oor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space to control spread of re.

Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever oor at the rst level of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 9.1. Vapor and air inltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the inside surfaces be sheet rocked and taped (or the use of an equivalent method) for maximum air tightness.

Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced berglass insulation. If the replace is being installed on a cement slab, we recommend that in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or other raised platform be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room.

Three examples of chase applications are shown in Figure 9.2.

1. Fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase.

2. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in chase.

3. Chase constructed on roof.

Note: In cooler climates, all chase walls should be insulated.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must maintain a minimum 2 in. (51 mm) air space clearance to insulation and other materials surrounding the chimney system.

• Insulation and other materials must be rmly secured to prevent accidental contact with chimney system.

• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown insulation or other combustibles from entering and making contact with replace or chimney.

• Failure to prevent contact between insulation or other materials and chimney system may cause overheating and re.
