OPERATING THE fireplace

Fuel

USE SOLID NATURAL WOOD FUEL ONLY. The Brentwood™ LV fireplace is designed to work best when fueled with dry seasoned natural wood only. Hardwoods are preferred to softwoods since the energy content of wood is relative to its density. Hardwoods will result in a longer burning fire and less frequent refueling. A moisture content of 15% to 20% (seasoned) is recommended. Wood that has been cut and split and let to dry under a cover for a period of one year will usually meet that criteria. The required drying time will vary depending on the climate. Wood that is packed tight together will take longer to dry. Seasoned wood is darker in color than wet wood and will have visible cracks in the grain on the ends. Excessively wet wood will be difficult to burn and will result in lower efficiency, increased creosoting and deposits on the glass and in the chimney. Excessively dry wood will burn well but will also have higher emissions and shorter burning time.

Do not burn scrap or garbage, treated wood or wood such as driftwood from the ocean which has been exposed to salt or other chemicals. Salt or chemicals can corrode the firebox and chimney. Do not burn large amounts of paper, cardboard, Christmas tree branches or building construction materials. Intense firing with these materials may overheat the fireplace, causing damage to the unit, a fire or even possibly igniting a chimney fire if the chimney is creosoted. Burning unapproved fuel, resulting in excessive pollutants being emitted, may be prohibited and subject to a fine or other penalty by the authority having jurisdiction in your area.

Processed firelogs can be used. Use only firelogs that have been evaluated for the application of fireplace and refer to firelog warnings and caution markings on packaging prior to use.

First Fires

Beforeusingthefireplacemakesuretoremove the plastic wrapping and EPA label on door. Remove any glue residue left by the label using mild soap.

4

The first five or six fires should be small fires of short duration (about 30 to 60 minutes). This will help cure the refractory bricks. During the first few fires of this appliance there may be some odor and smoke due to the curing of the paint, dust accumulation and burning off of lubricants used in the manufacturing process. It may set off a smoke alarm located in the same room. For this reason the room should be well ventilated for the first few fires.

WARNING

Be careful adding wood fuel to the fireorhandlingfireplacetoolssuch as shovels, tongs or pokers.

WARNING

The bottom refractory can be cracked by excessive abuse such as tossing heavy logs onto the grate or gouging with fireplace tools. Exercise caution when adding wood to your fireplace.

Building a Fire

(starting and maintaining a fire)

To start a fire, place several crumpled up balls of newspaper in the firebox. Place small dry pieces of kindling on top of the paper, criss-crossing the kindling so that there are air spaces in between. Keep the fuel far back enough so that air can get underneath. Open the air controls fully and light the newspaper. Once the newspaper and the kindling is well ignited, close the door. Once the kindling fire is well established, cord wood can be added (see Primary Air Combustion Control section for proper operation of the air controls).

The unit will burn best with 2-3 pieces of cord wood spaced 1 to 2 inches apart and allowing air to get under the fuel. Criss-crossing or arranging the fuel so that air can get underneath, will help the fire to get started easily. The unit should be operated with the air control fully open long enough to get the cord wood well ignited.

COMBUSTION CONTROLS

Primary Air and Air Boost Controls

There is no flue damper in the Brentwood LV fireplace. As is common with air tight stoves, the combustion air control sets the flow of air entering the firebox. This allows for a more precise control of the fire. The combustion air control is located below the door on the left side. The main source of air (primary air) entering the firebox can be diminished by moving the air combustion control from left to right. The primary air is fully opened when the air control is completely moved to the left. The air control device can also be used to add an extra boost of air especially during fire start up and reloading of the unit. Pulling the air combustion control will induce an air boost at the base of the fire allowing an easier fire start up. When the fire is well established, the control can be pushed in to shut down the air boost allowing for a longer burn time. The combustion air control should be in the closed position (primary air and air boost) when the fireplace is not in use. This will minimize air leakage up the chimney. The combustion air control should be opened before opening the door to minimize the possibility of back draft coming into the room.

Accelerated Combustion

The maximum heat output for the Brentwood LV fireplace is achieved by burning with the door closed and the combustion air opened and pulled out. By this method, the Brentwood LV fireplace can produce up to 55,000 BTU of heat per hour. However, it will be necessary to reload with wood every one or two hours. This is the least efficient method of burning the Brentwood LV fireplace.

Figure 1

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

Use caution when firing with the combustion air control wide open. Only burn cord wood in this manner. Small dry pieces of softwood and construction scraps will burn very intensely using this method and may damage the firebox.

Medium Combustion

This is the recommended mode of operating the Brentwood™ LV fireplace and should be the one normally used since it will deposit the least amount of creosote on the glass and in the chimney. The combustion air control must be 3/4 closed (Figure 1) and pushed in to close the air boost. The precise setting will depend on many factors, including chimney length and the moisture content of the wood.

For instance, a long chimney will necessitate closing the damper more. To obtain the proper combustion, close the damper completely, then open it about 1/4” to 1/2”. Three medium size pieces of wood should be burning on a bed of hot coals. The heat output will be approximately 30,000 BTU per hour and the loading time will be about every 3-4 hours. Softwoods may be burned using this method but the time will be substantially reduced.

Slow Combustion

When the air combustion control is completely closed, the fireplace is in a slow combustion phase. If the hearth is hot enough, slow combustion will not extinguish the fire, but there will be a noticeable change in the flame pattern. The flames will be slow and may appear dirty if the wood is too wet (moisture content of 20% and more). Do not allow the wood to burn without flame, since this will produce excessive creosote in the unit.

Creosotemayaccumulateontheglassdoor.This method of burning should be used only after operating the Brentwood LV fireplace with the air control opened (Figure 1) to produce a hot fire for about an hour or at medium pace for at least three (3) hours. Slow combustion can be used at night in order to reduce the heat output and to prolong the burn. The loading time will be between 6-8 hours.

REFUELING FOR BEST PERFORMANCE

The Brentwood LV fireplace will operate best if attention is given to operating the unit with the damper fully opened (figure 1) after refueling in order to bring the firebox and the chimney system up to their optimum operating temperature. Combustion efficiency is relative to firebox temperature. A temperature of 932º F (500º C) and up, with a visible flame, in the upper part of the firebox indicates a maximum efficiency. To obtain this temperature, the fireplace must be operated with the primary air and air boost controls fully opened during 10 to 20 minutes after reloading, depending on the heat and on the moisture content of the wood.

Once you have reached the desired temperature, the air boost can be closed and the primary air set to a medium setting. You know you have reached the desired temperature when, closing the primary air control, you can see a flame at the top of the firebox. The benefit of this technique will be cleaner glass, less creosoting, greater efficiency and the most pleasing fire for your enjoyment. If your fireplace is equipped with a forced air system, make sure the central blower is turned off during reloading to avoid smoking problems.

SMOKING –

CAUSES AND TROUBLESHOOTING

To reduce the likelihood of smoking when opening the door, set the combustion air controls to the left before opening the door. Your fireplace has been designed and tested to provide smoke free operation. Occasionally, there may be a small amount of smoking upon lighting the fire, until the chimney heats up but this should not continue. If the fireplace continues to smoke it is probably for one of the following reasons:

A.Negative pressure in the house -

As the fire burns, air goes up the chimney. This air must be replaced through leakage into the house or through the outside air duct. When operating the Brentwood LV fireplace, open a nearby window temporarily to check if there is adequate replacement air supply.

B.Blowers operating (e.g.: range hood) -

These blowers draw air out of the house and may actually cause a negative pressure in the house. Turn off all blowers and open a nearby window to determine if this is the cause of the problem.

C.Wet wood - Wet or tarred wood will smoulder and smoke instead of burning properly. Your dealer can help you determine if you have properly seasoned wood for burning.

D.Dirty or blocked chimney - Check to make sure the chimney is clear and clean. If dirty call a certified chimney sweep or use a properly sized chimney brush to clean.

E.Chimney not long enough - The minimum chimney height is twelve (12) feet (3.7 m) not including the fireplace height. The chimney must extend at least three (3) feet (915 mm) above its point of contact with the roof and at least two (2) feet (610 mm) higher than any roof or wall within ten (10) feet (3 m) of it. When installed with offsets, the minimum chimney height is fifteen (15) feet. Additional height will increase draft and will decrease the tendency to smoke.

F.Poor chimney draft - Withnofire,thereshould be sufficient draft to exhaust cigarette smoke introducedunderthebaffle. Chimneysinstalled againstanoutsidewallwithoutprotectionmay generate back draft problems which will cause start-up problems. To prevent this, open a nearby window, roll up a piece of paper and light it. Then, hold it in the upper part of the firebox to warm up the chimney. Wait until the draft is sufficient, then start the fire.

G.Blower for forced air kit operating - Make sure that the blower is in the “off” position whenyouopenthefireplacedoorforreloading.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

A.Do not block the hot air vents to the fireplace as this will cause the fireplace to overheat.

B.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.

C.Do not burn coal. The sulphur in coal will corrode the firebox and chimney.

D.Do not burn driftwood which has been in the ocean or salt water. The salt will corrode the firebox and chimney.

E.Do not burn wood in the area in front of the grate.

F.Do not abuse the unit by burning paper, or cardboard or construction material such as pressed wood, plywood or lumber. Wood protectors, metallic paper, coal, plastic, waste, sulphur and/or oil will damage the fireplace.

G.Do not allow the wood to smoulder or burn without flame, since this will produce excessive creosote in the unit as well as increased particulate emissions.

MAINTAINING YOUR BRENTWOOD™ LV FIREPLACE

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 flue of a slow-burning fire.

As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

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 fire.

When the creosote accumulation is large, a creosote fire in the chimney can damage the chimney and overheat the surrounding wood framing. Creosote formation in a chimney can be minimized by making sure there is always visible flame burning, avoid smouldering fires and by proper refuelling techniques.

Chimney Maintenance

Regular chimney inspection and maintenance combined with proper operation will prevent chimney fires. Keep your chimney clean. Do not allow more than 1/16” (1.6 mm) creosote build up in your chimney. The amount of creosote will depend on variables such as frequency of use and type of fire. We recommend that you:

A.Initially inspect the chimney system weekly. From this, you will learn how often it will be necessary to clean your chimney.

B.Have your chimney cleaned by a qualified chimney sweep. If you wish to clean it yourself, we recommend using a stiff plastic or non-metallic brush. If a metal brush is used, its size should be slightly smaller than the flue to avoid damaging the chimney. Do not use a brush that will scratch the stainless steel interior of the chimney.

C.Do not expect chemical cleaners to keep your chimney clean. The rain cap can be removed for inspection and/or cleaning of the chimney.

6

Top Baffle Removal Prior to Cleaning The Chimney

Before starting to clean your chimney, we recommend that you remove the top baffle to avoid creosote dust collection at the top of the baffle. Follow these steps to set the top baffle out of the way:

1.Remove the side refractory holder. They are located at the top of the refractory.

2.Lift the front baffle.

3.Slide the back baffle under the front baffle. You now have access to the chimney.

Figure 2a - Top Baffle Removal

Figure 2b

- Top Baffle Removal

Dealing With a Chimney Fire

Regular chimney maintenance and inspection can prevent chimney fires. If you have a chimney fire, follow these steps:

1.Close the fireplace door and the combustion air controls.

2.Alert your family of the possible danger.

3.If you require assistance, alert your fire department.

4.If possible, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the fire. Do not use water as it may cause a dangerous steam explosion.

5.Check outside to ensure that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting the roof.

6.Do not use the fireplace again until your chimney and fireplace have been inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or a Fire Department Inspector.

Finish Door Casing Care

Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to polish the casing. Do not use abrasives such as steel wool, steel pads or an abrasive polish for they may scratch the casing’s finish.

DISPOSING OF ASHES

Remove ashes only when the fire is out and the ashes are cold (24 to 48 hours after the fire is out). Do not leave the ashes in the house as they give off carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.

WARNING

Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should be placed in a steel container with a tight fitting lid and moved outdoorsimmediately. Theclosed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well away from all combustible materials, pending final 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.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

REFRACTORY REPLACEMENT

The intense heat of the fire will normally cause hairline cracks in the refractory. These cracks can be minimized by proper curing as described in “First Fires”. They will not normally diminish the effectiveness of the refractory. If large cracks develop, then the refractory should be replaced. To replace the refractory bricks, follow these steps:

1.Remove the front refractories

2.Remove the bottom refractory

3.Remove the left side refractory

4.Remove the right side refractory

5.Remove the back refractory

6.Remove the front ceramic baffle

7.Remove the rear ceramic baffle

To install the new refractories, follow the above steps in reverse.

DOOR INSTALLATION

Your fireplaces door has been factory installed and adjusted.

To remove the door simply unscrew the top hinge from the door then lift the door (without touching the trim over the door) to disengage the male part of the bottom hinge from the female part.

The door adjustment has been set at the factory. If the fit is still not perfect, you can adjust the door using the hinge screws.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT

The door may need to be adjusted to be completely airtight. The gaskets’ air-tightness can be adjusted using the adjustment screw located on the right side of the fireplace facade (An Allen key #1/8 – not supplied - will be necessary for this adjustment).

Checking Door Seal - A one-inch strip of paper may be used to perform a test of the integrity of the door seal. Close the door on the paper in at least eight points. It is normal to feel only a slight amount of friction. The door gasket does not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is not hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your fireplace.

Installing The Clean Face Kit

The clean face kit includes four parts. Two trims, left and right, are used to cover the edge of the finishing material on the sides, and two obstruction plates to cover the top and bottom openingsallowingtoinstallthefinishingmaterial closer to the door.

WARNING: The bottom obstruction plate is designed to leave an opening area for the convection air to circulate and cool your fireplace. NEVER BLOCK THIS AIR SPACE TO AVOID OVERHEATING THE FIREPLACE AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE IN YOUR HOME.

The gravity kit MUST BE used with the clean face kit to allow hot air flow that wouldnormallycomeoutofthetoplouver. ANY OTHER INSTALLATION MAY RESULT IN THE FIREPLACE OVERHEATING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE.

See Gravity Kit section on Page 14 to install the gravity vent kit.

Installation Steps:

1.Install the side finishing trim, making sure to differentiate the left from the right. The shortest end bend should be towards the bottom.

2.Install the right side trim. The full length flat part must rest against the right side face frame, the center bend must be oriented towards the outside of the unit and the bends towards the inside. The end bend on top must be pushed between the crossing

trim and the right side frame. This can be difficult because these are close together to allow a good look when using the louver kit. The part will be fixed in place when installing the other parts.

3.Repeat with the left trim.

4.Install the top obstruction plate in the top opening, oriented so the insulation faces the inside and the 1/2 inch bend is towards the outside and the bottom. The part is pressure installedtokeepfromusingscrewsthatcould interfere with your finishing material. Place the bottom bend on the lower trim and push on it to insert the top bend. Push on the part so the ends lie well on the fireplace face.

5.Install the bottom part the same way. Make sure to push the part to the bottom to leave the required air space.

6.(Optional) You can use rivets or sheet metal screws on all four (4) corners to secure the installation.
