EPA WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE
PROGRAM QUALIFIED
This appliance has met the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Low Mass Woodburning Fireplace Program Phase 2 emission
level (g/kg), as per test protocol ASTM 2558
"standard test method for determining particulate matter emissions from fires in low mass
wood-burning fireplaces".
Fresh FireTM
Burn System
1- Air is diverted under the front of the grate,
gaining heat from the ember and ash material
for more efficient combustion.
2- Cool air is deflected to prevent cooling
of the fire, so that high temperatures are
maintained.
3- Efficient combustion leads to lower emis-
sions, because the higher temperatures burn
up more volatile gasses and particulates.
4- Exhaust air is effectively pulled into the
chimney, and heat from the fire is circulated
into the living space.

OPERATING THE FIREPLACE
Fuel
USE SOLID NATURAL WOOD FUEL ONLY. The
Solana™ fireplace is designed to work best
when fueled with 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 dif-
ficult 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. Refer to firelog
warnings and caution markings on the packaging prior to use.
First Fires
Before using the fireplace make sure to
remove the plastic wrapping on plated door.
Remove any glue residue left by the label
using mild soap.
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.
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 firescreens.
Once the kindling fire is well established, cord
wood can be added (see How To Use The Outside Air Register section for proper operation of the
air controls).
The unit will burn best with 2-3 pieces of cord
wood spaced 1/2 to 1 inch 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.
For the Fresh Fire
air must flow through the bottom of the grate
and up in between the logs. Do not let ashes
stack up to a height which will obstruct the
opening between the base of the firebox and
the bottom of the log retainer.

HOW TO USE THE OUTSIDE AIR REGISTER
(FIREPLACE)
The outside air register is located on the up-
per left part of the top louver. The outside air
register supplies oxygen to the fire and allows
control of the fire when the doors are closed.
The fresh air must come from outside the house
(the air intake must not draw air from inside the
house). This will minimize negative pressure in
the house. The more you slide the register to
the left, the more fresh air into the firebox and
the more accelerated combustion you will get
(see Figure 1). When starting a fire, the register
should always be fully opened.
For information on when you should start closing
the register, see "Refueling" section.
REFUELING
The Solana™ fireplace will operate best if at-
tention is given to operating the unit with the
outside air register fully opened (see 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. To obtain this
temperature, the fireplace must be operated
with the primary air 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 outside air register control can be set to a
medium setting. The benefit of this technique
will be cleaner glass, less creosoting, greater
efficiency and the most pleasing fire for your
enjoyment.
Set the air register to the full open position before
opening the doors to reduce the possibility of
smoke entering the home from the fireplace.
Push to open
Figure 1 - Outside air Register
CLOSING THE DOORS
As soon as a layer of embers covers the surface
under the log retainer, it is possible to close
the doors with the outside air register opened.
Closing the doors prematurely may result in:
• Thereboxllingwithsmoke;
• Theameintensitycutsdownexcessively.
Meaning the fireplace is not hot enough to
close the doors.
SMOKING –
CAUSES AND TROUBLESHOOTING
To reduce the likelihood of smoking when
opening the door, set the outside air register 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.The doors are partially opened
When you open the doors, open them com-
pletely.
B. 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 Solana™ fireplace,
open a nearby window temporarily to check
if there is adequate replacement air supply.
C.Fans operating (e.g.: range hood)
Fans such as range hoods or bath fans draw
air out of the house and may actually cause
a negative pressure in the house. Turn off all
fans and open a nearby window to determine
if this is the cause of the problem.
Push to open
D. 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.
E.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.
F. 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
one offset, the minimum chimney height
is fifteen (15) feet. Additional height will
increase draft and will decrease the tendency
to smoke.
G. Poor chimney draft
With no fire, there should be sufficient draft
to exhaust cigarette smoke introduced under
the chimney. Chimneys installed against an
outside wall without protection may 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.
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. Keep combustible materials at least 48”
(1.2 m) away from the front of the fireplace
opening.
E. Never leave children unattended when
there is a fire burning in the fireplace.
F. Do not use the Solana™ as an incinerator
to burn paper, cardboard or construction
material such as pressed wood, plywood
or lumber. Use only untreated wood. Wood
protectors, metallic paper, coal, plastic,
waste, beach wood, Christmas tree, sulphur and/or oil will damage the fireplace.
G. Do not burn driftwood which has been in the
ocean or salt water. The salt will corrode
the firebox and chimney.
H. Do not burn wood in the area in front of
the log retainer.
I. 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.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

MAINTAINING YOUR 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 help
prevent chimney fires. Keep your chimney
clean. Do not allow more than a 1/16" (1.6mm)
build-up of creosote 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.
By doing 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 raincap can be removed
for inspection and/or cleaning of the chimney.
Unscrew the braces which attach the raincap
to the chimney. Using gloves, firmly grip the
upper portion of the rain cap. Turn the cap
and lift it off the chimney.
Caution: It is necessary to remove the
baffle from the top of the firebox before
cleaning the chimney.
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 glass doors and the air
inlet.
2. Close the chimney outside air register.
3. Alert your family of the possible danger.
4. If you require assistance, alert your fire
department.
5. If possible, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control
the fire. Do not use water as it may cause
dangerous steam explosions.
6. Watch for smouldering or fire on combustibles next to the fireplace and chimney.
Check outside to ensure that sparks and
hot embers coming out of the chimney are
not igniting the roof.
7. Do not use the fireplace again until your
chimney and fireplace have been inspected
by a qualified chimney sweep or a fire department inspector.
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 baffle refractory and it’s iron
anglesupport(gure2);
2. Obstruct the dilution air box inlet, located in
the upper back of the firebox, with a metal
orcardboardsheet;
3.Closethechimneydamperanddoors;
4.Proceedwithchimneysweep;
5. Open the chimney damper before opening
thedoors;
6.Cleanouttherebox;
7. REMOVE the metal or cardboard sheet,
placed in step #2, and re-install the baffle
and it’s iron angle support.

Figure 2 - Baffle Removal / Chimney Access
Door Frame Care
Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to polish
the frame. Do not use abrasives such as steel
wool or steel pads for they may scratch the
door frame 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).
Ashes removal must be –performed regularly
during the operating season. An excess of ashes
will block the airflow and risks to increase the
particle emissions. In order to burn efficiently,
do not let ashes stack up to a height which will
obstruct the opening between the base of the
firebox and the bottom rod of the log retainer.
Rotate the log retainer on the back refractory and
remove the ashes. Make sure the log retainer
is properly leaning on the back refractory, in
case it’s rotation is obstructed.
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 metal container
with a tight fitting lid. The closed
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 (see Figure 4):
1. Remove the baffle refractory and it’s iron angle
support;
2. Removethefrontrefractory;
3. Removethebottomrefractory;
4. Removethesidesrefractories*;
5. Remove the back refractory.
* Hold the back refractory when the last side refractory is removed, to prevent the back refractory to
fall in the firebox.
DOORS ADJUSTMENT
Glass doors may lose their adjustment during
transportation or installation of the fireplace.
A wrong adjustment may cause a loss in
combustion’s efficiency and control. The glass
doors must be parallel, at the same height and
must almost touch each other when closed.
Maximum spacing between the door's glass
is one sixteenth of an inch (1/16’’).

other as a pivot point.
HOW TO USE THE RETRACTABLE DOORS
AND FIRESCREENS
The Solana™ fireplace features retractable doors
and firescreens in order to allow a wider view
of the fire and save space when the doors are
opened. To retract the doors, simply open them
at 90° and push them into the opening on the
side of the firebox. The same procedure applies
for the retractable firescreens. (see Figure 3).
Note: Do not operate the fireplace with both
fire-screen and doors closed at the same time.
WARNINGS
• Use only a Lennox Hearth Products glass doors, specifically designed
for the Solana fireplace.
• The fireplace cannot be operated without doors or firescreens.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Locating The Solana Fireplace
A. The best location to install your fireplace is
determined by considering the location of
windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the
room where the fireplace is located, allowing space in front of the unit for the hearth
extension and the mantel, and taking into
consideration the location of the outside air
kit and chimney.
If possible, you should choose a location
where the chimney will pass through the
house without cutting floor or roof joists
(see fireplace dimensions Page 10).
B. Usually, no additional floor support is needed
for the fireplace. The adequacy of the floor
can be checked by first estimating the weight
of the fireplace system. Weights are given
in the appendix. Note the floor construction and consult your local building code to
determine if additional support is needed.
C. The Solana fireplace may be installed di-
rectly on the floor or on a raised base (for
proper guidelines, refer to “Hearth Extension
Requirements”) and a minimum of 7 ft (2.1
m) measured from the base of the appliance
to the ceiling is required.
When selecting the location, the chimney outlet
position and the direction of the wind are important factor affecting the chimney performance.
To allow a maximum draft and to reduce wind
turbulence, the chimney must:
1. Before beginning the installation of your
fireplace, read these safety tips and installation instructions carefully to be sure you
understand them completely. Failure to
follow them could cause a fireplace malfunction resulting in serious bodily injury and/or
property damage.
2. The Solana™ fireplace has been tested and
listed to UL and ULC standards by Warnock
Hersey International Inc. These instructions
were written to give you an outline for a fast
and safe installation and reliable operation.
Failure to use Lennox Hearth Products parts
or conduct variations in techniques and
construction materials described in this
installation manual may create a serious fire
hazard and may void the warranty and the
WHI listing.
3. Always check your local building codes.
The installation must comply with their
regulations. Before beginning the installation, consult the local authorities and
make sure your building permit complies
with their requirements.
4. This fireplace must be installed with Security
Chimneys™ chimney system models ASHT+,
S-2100+ or AC, of 8" inside diameter. The
chimney system must always vent to the
outside of the building.
5. To maintain top efficiency and to prevent
build-up of soot and creosote, inspect and
clean the chimney periodically during the
heating season.
6. To prevent possible hazards due to poor
combustion and to avoid affecting other fuel
burning appliances (furnace, wood stove,
etc.), ensure that the outside air kit is properly
installed.
7. This fireplace is designed to allow the installation of a gas burner. In such a case, the
installation must conform with the National
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and Z21.60.
WARNING
When using a gas burner, it is
mandatory to keep the chimney
outside air register opened.
8. This fireplace has provision for the installation of a gas pipe and is intended only for
connection to a decorative gas appliance
incorporating an automatic shutoff device
and complying with ANSI Z21.60-M96/CGA
2.26-M96, Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in Solid-Fuel Burning
Fireplaces (reference Clause 4.1.3 T).
9. The Solana™ fireplaces are sold with factory

system, the proper use of accessory equipment and the techniques used in using finishing materials applied to fireplace surrounds,
hearth extensions and wall coverings. Each
of these topics will be covered in greater detail
throughout this manual. Please give special
attention to these instructions as you progress
with your installation.
Fireplace Installation Procedure
1. Move the fireplace into the desired position
(follow the recommendations below for
enclosure).
2. Install the outside air assembly (or assemblies) - refer to Page 13.
3. Install the enclosure surrounding the fireplace
(see Pages 9 through 12).
4. Install the hearth extension (see Page 10).
Make sure the gap between the fireplace and
the hearth extension is sealed.
LOCATING THE FIREPLACE
Do not place the fireplace on carpeting, vinyl or
other soft surface floor coverings. It may, however, be directly placed on flat wood, plywood,
particle board or other hard surface materials.
ADJACENT WALL
A wall perpendicular to and in front of the fireplace front facing must be at least 18" (460mm)
from the fireplace opening. A wall at 45º to the
front facing and starting at the fireplace’s outer
edge is permitted. Projections within this area
are permitted. See Figure 7.

ENCLOSURE
1. WARNING: Do not place loose insulation or
any other material in the space around the
fireplace or the chimney. Insulation placed
on or around the fireplace or chimney may
cause adjacent wood to overheat and catch
on fire.
2. The fireplace must be installed against a
finished wall (like drywall finish). It must
not be installed against a vapor barrier or
exposed insulation (see Figure 10).
3. The fireplace is zero clearance. Combustible
materials like wood, plywood, particle board
or drywall can be in direct contact with the
fireplace reinforcements. Two inch (50 mm)
clearance to combustibles must be kept
around the chimney.
4. WARNING: The top of the fireplace is not
zero clearance. Do not place any insulating
material in the space above the fireplace for a
height of 7 feet from the base of the fireplace.
5. Do not block the fireplace’s hot air vents or
air inlets as this will cause the fireplace to
overheat.
CHASE ENCLOSURE
A chase is a vertical box-like structure constructed to surround the fireplace and chimney. Refer
to Figure 10 for a typical chase configuration.
A chase should be constructed and insulated
just like any outside wall. In a cold climate,
we recommend the base of the chase should
also be insulated between the solid continuous
base beneath the fireplace and the outside base.
Chase insulation in a cold climate installation
is not required for safety.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

Mantel
A wood mantel, if installed, must be at least
48" (1.2 m) above the base of the fireplace (see Figure 8B). There is no restriction regarding
the length or the width of the mantel.
Hearth Extension Requirements
(refer to Figures 8A and 8B)
A non-combustible hearth extension must be
built in front of the fireplace and extend out on
both sides. Hearth extensions must be constructed according to the following guidelines:
1. A layer of sheet metal 0.018" (0.45mm) thick
or 3/8" (9mm) thick insulating board or any
other material (tiles, marble, granite) with
equivalent heat resistance may be used.
Check with the local building authorities
before installing to determine what other
materials are acceptable in your area.
2. The hearth extension should be secured to
the floor. The gap between the fireplace and
the hearth extension must be sealed. The
supplied safety metal strip must be positioned
as follows: One half under the front of the
fireplace and the other half must extend on
the floor over which the hearth extension will
be built (see Figure 8A).
* The safety metal strip must cover the entire
width of the fireplace.
3. On a raised base or raised hearth, a “Z” shape
piece of metal must be fabricated to join the
bottom of the fireplace to the floor (see note
1 in Figure 8A).
Hearth extension of an elevated fireplace
must respect the same minimal dimensions
as a fireplace installed directly on the floor
(figure 8B).
Cold Climate Installations
Fireplace
The crack between the fireplace
and the hearth extension must be
sealed with a non-combustible
material such as sand-cement
grout.
Elevated Fireplaces
u Elevated fireplace installations
require a special “Z” Metal
Safety Strips (field provided),
in place of the safety metal strip
shown above. The safety strip
should extend the full width of
the fireplace. When more than
one safety strip is used they must
overlap by a minimum of 1”.

The heating performance of the appliance will
vary depending upon the level of insulation,
house design, how the appliance is operated, etc.
If this fireplace is being installed in a cold
climate, it is especially important to seal all
cracks around the fireplace and wherever cold
air could enter the room with noncombustible
material. Also, the outside air inlet duct should
be wrapped with noncombustible insulation to
minimize the formation of condensation. Do
not place insulation materials directly against
the chimney sections. We recommend that you
use the insulated wall radiation shield since it
will maintain the home’s thermal barrier. AC
chimney is NOT recommended in very cold
climates (in areas with temperatures often get
below 0°F (-18°C).

Outside Air Assembly
(Fireplace and AC Chimney)
The outside air assembly is mandatory for
the fireplace and the AC chimney.
During operation, the fireplace requires air for
combustion and draws air out of the house. It
may starve other fuel burning appliances such
as gas or oil furnaces. As well, exhaust blowers
and blower driven appliances may compete for
air, causing a negative pressure in the home,
resulting in smoke entering the home from
the fireplace. This situation is aggravated in
modern airtight houses.
To overcome this potential problem, the instal-lation of an outside air assembly is required to
provide outside combustion air to the fireplace.
Outside Air Installation
(Fireplace and AC Chimney)
The outside air assembly must be installed according to the following guidelines:
1. The maximum length of 4" I.D. (100 mm)
insulated flexible duct is 20 feet (6.1 m). If a
longer duct is required, use a 6" I.D. (150mm)
insulated flexible duct. The maximum length
is 40 feet (12 m). Refer to Figures 12B and 12C for connections.
2. The duct and register may be installed above
or below floor level.
3. The outside air register must not be installed
more than 10 feet (3.1 m) above the base of
the fireplace.
4. The outside air assembly must draw air from
outside the house. It must not draw air from
the attic, the basement or a garage (see Figure 6 on Page 7).
5. Locate the outside register where it will be
well away from automobile exhaust fumes
or other vents.
6. The outside air register should be installed
where it is not likely to be blocked by snow
or exposed to extreme wind.
7. It is recommended to install the outside air
register at floor level. However, if you must
raise the air register above the fireplace level,
you will have to make a loop to the floor with
the flexible pipe to prevent from causing a
draft in the outside air register (see Figure 12 Detail A).

INSTALLATION OF THE BLOWER KIT MODEL UZY5
CENTRAL FORCED AIR KIT
NOTE: This blower kit can easily be installed when the fireplace has a
pre-installed junction box. You just have to plug them in.
Rating: 120 Volts, 60Hz, .63A.
The blowers have magnetic blower mounts. The junction box (factory
installed on approved fireplaces for the use of this blower kit) must be
connected to 120 VAC service before permanently enclosing the fireplace.
The access hole for connecting the 120 VAC is located on the lower right
exterior side of the fireplace.
Installation instructions:
1. Open the bottom louver of the fireplace.
2. Place each blower kit into the fireplace side opening 1" from the
back of the fireplace.
3. Install the automatic blower activator on the side of the firebox (the
blower activator has a magnetic mount).
4. Plug the blower kit into the junction box.
5. Ground both blowers to the back panel using the green screws (see
Figure 13).
NOTE: The fireplace must be electrically connected and grounded in
accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the
current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code. For U.S.A. installations,
follow local codes and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No 70.
CAUTION: SHOULD THIS BLOWER REQUIRE SERVICING, THE POWER
SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED.
If this kit is installed, this appliance no longer qualifies for EPA Low
Mass Wood-burning Fireplace Program.
The knock-outs provided on the sides of the Solana™ fireplace allow the
connection of insulated flexible pipe which enables you to heat adjacent
rooms up to 50 feet from the fireplace.
The ducting system must be installed as described below:
1. Fix the adaptor at the side of the fireplace by twist-locking the adaptor
to the fireplace. You can use more than one outlet on the fireplace
(Figure 14).
2. Attach the 5" flexible pipe, using the collars provided. Important: Make
sure that the plastic wrapping around the flexible pipe will not be in
contact with the fireplace.
3. Route the flexible pipe to the chosen location. The ducting system can
be installed either in an upper room or in a lower room.
4. Attach the flexible pipe to the blower, using the collars (Figure 15).
5. Fix the decorative grill blower adaptor to the blower.
6. Attach a standard 3" x 10" grill to the adaptor.
7. Install the blower thermostat in that part of the house to be heated by
the hot air duct. Do not install the blower thermostat in the room where
the fireplace is located. A cooling thermostat can be installed in the
same room as the unit. This thermostat will turn on the blower when
the room where the fireplace is located becomes too hot.
This option requires electricity. Make sure that the connections to the
blower have been made according to the local codes and comply with
their requirements.
These blowers require periodic maintenance. Check the area in front of the
blowers and wipe or vacuum at least once a month during the burn season.

CHIMNEY SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Solana™ fireplace is listed only with Security Chimneys™ International Ltd. chimney systems, models ASHT+ 8", S-2100+ 8", or AC 8".
Do not connect the fireplace to a masonry chimney, chimney liner, or
other brand of factory-built chimney.
The Oliver Macleod chimney models HT6103 and HT6000 are respectively equivalent to Security Chimneys International ltd. Chimney
models ASHT and S2100.
In areas with continuous temperatures below 0º F (-18º C), the use of
an exterior chimney increases the likelihood of operating problems such
as low draft, high rate of creosoting and poor start up characteristics.
Exterior chimneys are also prone to down-drafting and flow reversal.
Installations located in a basement, in combination with outside chimneys,
are especially prone to flow reversal. In cold areas, air cooled chimneys
should not be used in an exterior installation.
Caution: AC chimney should not be used in very cold areas, where
temperatures are likely to fall below 0° F (-18° C), or altitudes above
4000 feet.
A chimney venting a fireplace shall not vent any other appliance.
The minimum system heights are indicated in Table 2.
In altitude, add 18" (450mm) to the chimney for every 2000 feet (600
m) above sea level.
All chimney installations must include at least one support. The maximum
length of chimney that can be supported by the fireplace is 12 feet (3.6 m)
for S-2100+, 18 feet (5.4 m) for ASHT+ and 26 feet (8 m) for AC chimney.
The chimney must extend at least 3 feet (915mm) above its point of
contact with the roof and at least 2 feet (610mm) higher than any wall,
roof or building within 10 feet (3 m) of it (see Figure 18).

Table 2
Note: 2" clearance to combustibles around chimney components required.
Note: Blown or fill type insulation materials must not be in contact with the
fireplace or in the enclosure frame as described in ‘’Enclosure’’ section.
Note: Local codes may not require firestopping at the ceiling levels for
outside chase installations. However, it is recommended for safety and
the reduction of heat loss.
If the chimney extends higher than 5 feet (1500mm) above its point
of contact with the roof, it must be secured using a roof brace or
guide wires.
A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney. Failure to install a
rain cap may cause the fireplace to corrode and operate inefficiently.
Cut and frame square holes in all floors and the roof to provide a 2" (50mm)
clearance between the chimney and any combustible materials. Do not
fill this 2" (50mm) space with any material (see Figure 19).
Portions of the chimney which may extend through accessible spaces
must be enclosed to avoid contact with combustible materials or damage the chimney.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Chimney Height
The total height of your completed fireplace system from the surface the
fireplace rests on to the chimney top must not exceed 60'. Chimney height
must also meet minimum height requirements, excluding the fireplace
height, indicated in Table 2. Refer to the minimum system height chart.
In altitude, add 18" (450 mm) to the chimney for every 2000 feet (600
m) above sea level.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cut and frame the holes in the ceiling,
floor and roof where the chimney will pass
(see Figure 19). Use a plumb-bob to line
up the center of the holes. The hole sizes
are indicated in Table 3 for the floor and
ceiling holes and in Table 4 (Page 17) for
the roof holes.

2. From below, install a firestop in each ceiling/
floor separation through which the chimney
will pass. At the attic level, install an attic
radiation shield from above (see Figures 20A and 20B).
3. For ASHT+ and S-2100+ chimneys, place
the first chimney length on the fireplace. To
lock it into place, turn 1/4 of a turn clockwise. With the AC chimney you must use
a starting section before installing the first
chimney length (see Figure 21). Continue
installing chimney lengths making sure to
lock each length in place.
4. Every time the chimney passes through a
roof or a wall, install the appropriate firestop.
When you reach the desired height, install
the roof support (see instructions included
with the support).
5. Then, put the roof flashing in place and seal
the joint between the roof and the flashing
with roofing pitch. For sloping roofs, place
the flashing under the upper shingles and on
top of the lower shingles. Nail the flashing
to the roof, using roofing nails (Figures 22 and23).
6. Place the storm collar over the flashing and
tighten it with the bolt supplied. Finally, seal
the joint between the storm collar and the
chimney, using silicone caulking.
7. Install the chimney cap. Once the chimney
cap is in place, the roof flashing can be
washed with a solvent or vinegar and then
painted with rust-proof paint.

OFFSET CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
After reaching the location requiring the elbow, proceed as follows. The minimum chimney height
excluding the fireplace height is shown in Table 2.
Notes:
• Must return to vertical before penetrating ceiling or floor.
• A maximum of 2 offsets are allowed.
After reaching the location requiring the elbow,
proceed as follows:
ASHT+/HT6103+/S2100+/HT6000+ Chimneys
1. Install the firs t elbow. Turn it in
the required direction. Fasten it to
the chimney with the three (3) 1/2"
(12mm) metal screws provided.
2. Install the necessary lengths to achieve
the required offset. Lock the chimney
lengths together: it is recommended to
use three (3) 1/2" (12mm) screws. If the
offset length is made of two (2) chimney
lengths use an offset support halfway up
the offset. If penetrating a wall, install a
wall radiation shield (see Figure 27).
3. Use another elbow to turn the chimney
vertically. Secure the elbow, using three
(3) 1/2" (12mm) screws (provided with
the elbow).
4. Use a plumb-bob to line up the center of
the hole. Cut a hole for the chimney in the
ceiling/floor. Frame this hole as described
previously (see Chimney Installation Instructions on Page 16).
5. From below, install a radiation shield
(Figure 20A).
6. A support (ST+ or SO+) must be used on
the first 15 feet section (5 m).
7. Continue with the regular installation.
AC chimney
1. Install the first elbow. Turn it in the required
direction. To lock it in place, turn 1/8 of
a turn. Fasten the straps attached to the
elbow to the surrounding framing using
nails or drywall screws (Figure 25).
2. Install the necessary chimney lengths
to achieve the required offset. Lock the
chimney lengths together. If penetrating
a wall, use a wall radiation shield (Figure
27).
3. Use another elbow to turn the chimney
vertically. Lock it to the chimney. Fasten
the straps attached to the elbow to the
surrounding framing using nails or drywall
screws.
4. Use a plumb-bob to line up the center of
the hole. Cut a hole for the chimney in
the ceiling. Frame this hole as described
previously.
5. From below, install a radiation shield (see Figure 20B).
6. Continue with the regular installation.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Note: When using AC chimney, an AC8SB
(H3801) starter section must be used before
installing an elbow. When an offset is needed
immediately off the top of the fireplace, an
elbow starter section, AC8SB30 (H3802) is
available.
Note: This illustration is not to
scale. It represents how the
chimney must be supported. A
30 degree offset only is allowed
in the USA and a 45 degree
maximum offset is allowed in
Canada.
When traversing a combustible wall with the chimney at a 30° or 45°
angle, an angled firestop and/or wall radiation shield must be installed.
Only one is required (Figure 27). Table 6 gives recommended hole size
for installing a wall radiation shield.
Note: 45° angle installation for Canada only.
In cold climate locations (climates where temperatures will fall below
32° F / 0° C), we recommend that you use the insulated wall radiation
shield since it will maintain the home’s thermal barrier.

UNIVERSAL ROOF SUPPORT INSTALLATION
This support has three possible uses:
1. For ASHT+ and S-2100+ chimneys, it must be used on a roof to
support the chimney.
2. It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof above an offset to support
the chimney above the offset.
3. It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof as a supplementary support
when the chimney height exceeds 15 feet (4.6 m.).
Table 7 gives maximum height of supported chimney.
NOTE: For the AC chimney, a support section (AC8SL) must be used
every 40’ (12 m) instead of the universal roof support (ST).
For roof support installation, refer to the instructions provided with the
support.
Universal Offset Support
This support is used to support the chimney above an offset. When
the chimney offset is used to traverse a wall, this support may be used
on the wall to support the chimney. The maximum heights are given in
Table 7. For offset support installation, refer to the instructions provided
with the support.

CHIMNEY CHASE AND MULTIPLE TERMINATIONS
For the purpose of this manual, a chimney chase is considered a part of
the chimney system rather than part of a building. The termination must
be placed a minimum of 18" (460mm) above the chase.
For installation where more than one chimney is located in the same chase
or within the same general area, we suggest that their terminations be
separated by at least 16" (410mm) horizontally and 18" (460mm) vertically. This separation is to prevent smoke migrating from one chimney
to another (see Figure 28).
