What to Do if You Have a Chimney Fire
If you realize a chimney fi re is occurring, follow these steps:
• Get everyone out of the house, including yourself.
• Call the fi re department. If you can do so without risk to yourself, these additional steps
may help save your home. Remember, however, that homes are replaceable, lives are
not.
• Close the air controls on the insert.
• Use a garden hose to spray down the roof (not the chimney) so the fi re won’t spread
to the rest of the structure.
• Once it’s over, call a CSIA Certifi ed Chimney Sweep to inspect for damage. Chimney
fi re damage and repair is normally covered by homeowner insurance policies.
2. Installation
WARNING
IF YOUR HW AM WOOD-BURNING INSERT IS NOT PROPERLY INST ALLED, OPERATED
AND MAINTAINED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW ALL
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS.
Pre-Installation Check List
Before you begin an installation, review your plans and check to see that:
• Your insert will be far enough from combustible material to meet all clearance
requirements.
• The fl oor protection is large enough and is constructed properly to meet all requirements.
• You have all necessary permits from your local authorities. Your local building offi cial
is the fi nal authority for approving your installation as safe and in determining that it
meets all local and state building and safety codes.
The metal label permanently attached to the back of every HWAM wood-burning insert shows
that it has been tested to current UL and ULC safety standards, and gives the name of
the testing laboratory. Clearance and installation information is also printed on the label.
Local authorities will generally accept the label as evidence that, when the insert is installed
according to the information on the label and in this manual, the installation meets codes and
can be approved.
This wood insert must be installed in a code-approved masonry chimney with a fl ue liner
or a UL 127/ULC S610 approved factory fi replace. The insert must fi t inside the existing
fi replace opening with a gap of at least 3/16” (5 mm) on each side and the top. The
approved masonry or factory fi replace the combustion chamber and chimney of the fi replace
must not be modifi ed by removing bricks, mortar or any metal parts that would affect the
thermal characteristics or safety of the fi replace in any way. If the existing fi replace has
been modifi ed in any way attach the metal tag stating “This fi replace has been altered to
accommodate a fi replace insert and must be re-inspected by a qualifi ed person prior to re-
use as a fi replace “ to the back of the existing fi replace with nails or screws where it will be
seen by anyone removing the insert. In Canada this fi replace insert must be installed with
a continuous chimney liner of 6.0” (153 mm) diameter extending from the fi replace insert to
the top of the chimney. The chimney liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/
ULC-S636, Standard for Lining Systems for Existing Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys
and Vents, or CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.
5
For any unresolved questions about installation in the USA, refer to the national Fire
Protection Association’s publication ANSI/NFPA 211 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances. For installation in Canada, refer to CSA CAN-B365,
Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Applications and Equipment. These standards are
the basis for many national codes. They are nationally recognized and are accepted by most
local authorities. Your local dealer or your local building offi cial may have a copy of these
regulations.
WARNING!
CHECK ALL LOCAL BUILDING AND SAFETY CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION. THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND APPROPRIATE CODE REQUIREMENTS MUST
BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY AND WITHOUT COMPROMISE. ALTERATIONS TO THE
INSERT ARE NOT ALLOWED. DO NOT CONNECT THE INSERT TO A CHIMNEY SYSTEM
SERVING ANOTHER INSERT, APPLIANCE OR ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT. F AILURE
TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE MANUF ACTURER’S W ARRANTY.
NOTE
Before installing the insert into an existing masonry chimney or approved factory fi replace,
have the fi replace and chimney inspected by a local fi re marshal or qualifi ed installer.
Remember that the chimney and its location on the roof will affect the performance of the
insert. An oversized fl ue may not provide effective draft, and a fl ue liner may be required.
(Observe draft requirements.) Consult your dealer or qualifi ed installer before fi nal selection
is made.
Room Requirements
There must be a constant supply of fresh air to the room in which the insert is to be installed.
A window that opens or an adjustable air vent should suffi ce. Please be aware that not all
glass parts are heat-resistant. For this reason, a glass wall should sometimes be treated as a
fl ammable wall. Contact your local chimney sweep or glass producer to hear at what distance
the insert should be kept from glass.

Hearth and Floor Protection
The hearth and/or fl oor protection required depends on the height of the insert from the fl oor .
If this height, “H”, on the accompanying diagram is 14 inches (356 mm) or less there must
be a thermally rated non-combustible hearth/fl oor protector meeting or exceeding a thermal
rating of k=.42 or equivalent with a listed thickness of 1” (26 mm) minimum. The covering
must extend 12” (305 mm) in front of the insert and 8” (204 mm) to each side (measured from
the edge of the glass door).
If H is greater than 14 inches then only ember protection is required and must extend 18”
(mm) from the front of the insert and 8” (200mm) to each side (measured from the edge of
the glass door).
Using Alternate Material As Floor / Hearth Protection
The hearth extension or alternate material used as a fl oor/hearth protector must be constructed
of a durable noncombustible material having an equal or better thermal conductivity value
(lower k value) of k =.42
BTU/IN FT2 HR °F or a thermal resistance that equals or exceeds r = 2.38 With these values,
determine the minimum thickness of the alternate material required using the formula(s) and
shown in Table ?.
Note: Any noncombustible material having a minimum thickness of 1”(26 mm) whose k value
is less than .42 or whose r value is more than 2.38 is acceptable. If the alternate material used
has a higher k value or lower r value will require a greater thickness of the material used. In
some cases, if the k value is less or the r value higher, a thinner material may be used.
7
Methods of determining fl oor protection equivalents:
To determine the thickness required for the alternate material when either the “k” value or “r”
value is known, use either the k formula or r formula.
Example: If Micore 300 Mineral Fiber Board is to be used for the fl oor protection, how thick
must this material be?
kM = k value per inch of alternate material
r
= r value per inch of alternate material
M
= minimum thickness required for alternate material

Chimney Requirements
The chimney must be of a suffi cient height to enable an adequate draft and to prevent smoke
problems. The minimum draft should be: approx. .048 inches of water or 12 Pa.
The chimney must have a minimum opening equivalent to 6.0” or 150 mm.
The chimney opening should always be at least the size of the outlet of the insert.
The chimney should have an easily accessible soot door.
Chimney Height Requirements
The chimney must extend 3 feet above the level of roof penetration and a minimum of 2
feet higher than any roof surface within 10 feet. Check with your local building offi cials for
additional requirements for your area.
The condition of the chimney and height is very important; we suggest a total minimum height
of 15’ (4.5 m), measured from the fl oor level on which the insert is installed.
Chimney
The chimney is essential to the functioning of the wood-burning insert. The chimney draft
provides a partial vacuum in the insert. This vacuum removes the smoke from the insert;
provides air for the glass air wash, which keeps the glass free of soot; and brings in air for
primary and secondary combustion.
The chimney draft is created by the differences in temperature inside and outside the chimney .
The higher the temperature within the chimney, the better the draft. It is crucial, therefore,
that the chimney is warmed through properly before closing the air control and limiting the
combustion in the insert (a brick chimney takes longer to warm through than a steel chimney).
On days where the weather and wind conditions create insuffi cient draft inside the chimney, it
is even more important to warm up the chimney as quickly as possible. The trick is to quickly
get some fl ames going. Split the wood into extra fi ne pieces, use an extra fi relighter, etc.
If the insert has not been used for a long period, it is important to check that the chimney pipe
is not blocked.
Chimney Sweeping
To reduce the risk of chimney fi res, the chimney must be cleaned every year. The fl ue duct
and the smoke chamber above the baffl e plate inside the insert must be cleaned together
with the chimney. If the chimney’s height makes cleaning from above impossible, a cleaning
hatch must be installed in the chimney.

Components
Check the Assembly
Before you start using the insert, you must
ensure that all parts are fi tted correctly .
• a. Secondary air baffle plate (1)
must lie on the rear plate and on the
slanting side plates. It must fall into
position in the track on the rear plate.
• b. Steel smoke deflector plate (2)
is mounted on two hooks. To mount
the plate, lift it up and lead to the right
until it is hanging on the two hooks.
3D view of the Skamol refractory plates.
Skamol is a very heat-resistant and highlyinsulating material made of processed
vermiculite. This material is capable of
service temperatures up to 1150 C (2101 F).
It is however somewhat fragile. Care should
be used when handling these pieces and
when fueling the insert.
