Warranty

4021-645B 04-02-09 Page 1 of 2

Hearth & Home Technologies Inc.

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

Hearth & Home Technologies Inc., on behalf of its hearth brands (”HHT”), extends the following warranty for
HHT gas, wood, pellet, coal and electric hearth appliances that are purchased from an HHT authorized dealer.

WARRANTY COVERAGE:

HHT warrants to the original owner of the HHT appliance at the site of installation, and to any transferee taking ownership
of the appliance at the site of installation within two years following the date of original purchase, that the HHT appliance
will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. After installation, if covered compo­nents manufactured by HHT are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period,

obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product
itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty
is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.

WARRANTY PERIOD:

Warranty coverage begins on the date of installation. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage begins on
the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent, authorized HHT
dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months following the date of
product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for parts and labor for
covered components is produced in the following table.

The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for
gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances. These

event will HHT be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in the appliance. Some states
do not allow exclusions or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific rights; you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state. EXCEPT TO
THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, HHT MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY

WARNING

HOT SURFACES!

Glass and other surfaces are hot during operation AND cool down.

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.

If you expect that children may come into contact with this replace, we recommend a barrier such as a decorative

screen. See your dealer for suggestions.

A. Your Fireplace

WARNING! DO NOT operate replace before reading and understanding operating instructions. Failure to operate replace
according to operating instructions could cause re or injury.

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.N. 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 sup-

plied with this unit or one approved by HHT. The grate will

break down over time and will need occasional replace-

ment.

WARNING!

integral grate.

• Keeps logs in place.

• Allows proper air circulation around the re.

Risk of Fire! Use only the factory-supplied

E. Firescreen

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

WARNING!

• Screen will not prevent burning materials from falling

out.

• Screen pulls or handles may be hot.

Risk of Fire or Burns!

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 (see Section 2.N.).

• 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.

N. 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 inspec-

tion 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.

A. Disposal of Ashes

Frequency: When they reach bottom of grate
By: Homeowner

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashes could contain hot em-

bers.

• 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 rela-

tively 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!

damage your chimney system and nearby structures.

In the event of a chimney re, Hearth & Home Technolo-

gies 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.

Risk of Fire! A chimney re can permanently

C. Check Firebox Refractory

Frequency: After each ash removal
By: Homeowner

WARNING!

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.

Risk of Fire! Inspect replace refractory.

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.

Heat & Glo • EM-415, EM-485 • 33056 • Rev AA • 06/09

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 stron-

gest 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

• Loca t 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 outdoor 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 perfor-

mance.

• Install through 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

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.

OVERLAP

• 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.

The chimney component that best ts your applica­tion is one SL324.

C. Assembling 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.

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.

D. Install Chimney Air Kit

• Required in Canada.

• Follow instructions provided with this accessory.

E. Installing 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!

restop opening and chimney pipe. Restricting air ow
around chimney may cause re.

Risk of Fire! DO NOT seal area between

• 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).

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 following
instructions shipped with the cap.

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.

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 build-

ing 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 Fig-

ure 9.2.

WARNING! You must install false ceilings and ceiling

restops at each oor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m)
to control spread of re.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT seal area between re
stop opening and chimney pipe. Restricting air ow around
chimney may cause re.

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.
