GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This is the most efficient, simple and trouble free woodburning system we know of and works as follows:

FIGURE 3

Primary combustion air enters through the air control inlet box regulated by a draft control, travels up the side through a duct and enters the top centre of the combustion chamber into a preheating airwash located across the top and then down the window to feed the fi re and also to ensure that the glass remains clean.

Secondary air feeds directly into the combustion chamber at hearth level through the log retainer and also through inlets located at the bottom back corners of the combustion chamber. This air travels up the riser to the four secondary air tubes located at the top and shoots out laterally to oxidize the gases rising to the smoke exit.

The combustion chamber is lined with high-temperature firebrick on all sides, and across the bottom to maintain a high temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing with the preheated air from the secondary air tubes are easily ignited and burned. The fireplace sides and back permit a zero clearance installation and direct the heat upwards and forwards into the room. Be sure to provide suf-

ficient combustion air. There are many other appliances in your home competing for air such as a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.

If the outside air feature is utilized, you will never experience a shortage of combustion air. If you choose not to utilize outside air and experience draft or smoking problems, you may need to open a door or window.

After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fi replace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the firebox burning off. Open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.

GENERAL INFORMATION

CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:

Use of this product may produce smoke which contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Do not use makeshift compromises during installation.Do not block or restrict air, grille or louvre openings! Do not add a hood.

Burning your unit with the ash dump door open or ajar creates a fi re hazard that may result in discoloration to the gold plated door, internal damage to the fireplace or a house and/or chimney fire.

All venting connections must be in compliance with the chimney manufacturers installation instructions.

Clearances referred to throughout this manual are the minimum requirements.

Your fireplace must be installed in accordance with all national and local building code standards and the standard of Chimney and Fireplaces,

Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances NFPA #211. Consult the authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal building department,

fire department, fi re prevention bureau, etc.) to determine the need to obtain a permit. If you are in doubt about the proper installation for your situation, contact your dealer or local building or fire offi cial. The manufacturer does not guarantee that this fi replace and its options will completely heat your entire home.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.

Mobile home installation requires that the fireplace be secured to the fl oor. It is recommended that in all cases, the fi replace be secured to the fl oor. Use the pallet packing brackets to accomplish this.

CARE OF GLASS AND PLATED PARTS

If the glass is not kept clean permanent discoloration and / or blemishes may result. Normally a hot fi re will clean the glass. The most common reasons for dirty glass include: not using suffi cient fuel to get the stove thoroughly hot, using green or wet wood, closing the draft so far that there is insuffi cient air for complete combustion. If it is necessary to clean the glass, use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not clean the glass when hot!

The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest or fall against it and always close the door gently. Never force it shut!

If the glass should ever crack while the fire is burning, do not open the door until the fire is out and do not operate the stove again until the glass has been replaced with a new 5mm thick piece of ceramic glass, available from your authorized dealer. Do not substitute materials.

For information on glass removal and replacement, see Maintenance.

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth.

Prolonged high temperature burning with the door ajar may cause a permanent rainbowing effect on the lower edge of a gold plated door.

NOTE: The protective wrap on plated parts is best removed when the assembly is at room temperature but this can be improved if the assembly is warmed, using a hair dryer or similar heat source.

When the appliance is equipped with a 24 karat gold-plated door, you must clean all the fi ngerprints and oils from the gold surface before fi ring the appliance for the fi rst time. Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and towel to remove the oils. If not cleaned properly before lighting your fi rst fi re, the oils can cause permanent markings on the gold plating. After the gold plating is cured, the oils will not affect the fi nish and little maintenance is required, just wipe clean as needed.

HI-EFFICIENCY HEATING

FIVE OPTIONS

To operate this hi-effi ciency fi replace as a basic system, the blower is not required, however, to enhance its effi ciency a blower is recommended.

A BLOWER KIT (NZ62) This blower is installed in the bottom of the unit and used to direct the heat into the room where the fi replace is located. The blower is controlled, by a variable speed switch, located inside the fi replace.

WORK

A THERMOSTATIC AIR CONTROL (NZ690KT) may be used for constant heat, complete with automatic damper and thermostat, wall mounted in the room containing the fi replace, and at least 10 feet (minimum) from the fireplace.

A HOT AIR GRAVITY VENT SYSTEM (NZ220) may be used to distribute heat to an adjoining room (located either above, or beside the room containing the fi replace) by way of vents, eliminating the need of an additional blower. While this system may be used in conjunction with the optional blowers, it could reduce the fl ow of hot air being distributed to additional rooms. It must be experimented with and the dampers adjusted manually to suit your requirements. This may take a few attempts; thereafter adjustments should no longer be required as is normally experienced with your central heating system registers.

The heat shield cover plate must be removed before installing the gravity vent. The hot air vent must be installed in an upward direction! NEVER install in a downward direction. Figure 6. The hot air gravity vent system is not to be connected to a central heating system (for this application use the NZ62CH). This option may not be used in mobile homes.

No more than two hot air gravity vents can be installed to fi replace. Individual vent runs are not to exceed 10 feet.

All hot air gravity vents must be insulated.

FIGURE 5b

A HOT AIR DISTRIBUTION KIT (GA-566) may be used to distribute warm air from the fi replace base (only) into a separate location in the home.

These options may be incorporated with one another. If the optional blowers are to be installed, make provision during framing to route a

110 volt power line to the fi replace. Detailed installation instructions are included with each venting kit.

FIGURE 4

A CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM (NZ62CH) may be used to heat rooms up to 50 feet from the unit. A wall mounted thermostat located in the room to be heated controls the blower supplying warm air from the room containing the fi replace. If a hot air duct system exists, the central heat blower may safely be tied into this system to reduce the amount of new ducting required. Consult with a heating specialist to ensure a proper duct layout for your home. If the NZ62CH is installed at the bottom of the unit, it could introduce a cool draft into the room that the fi replace is installed in.

When attached to the top or sides of the unit, it provides a higher heat output. This option may not be used in mobile homes.

FIGURE 5a

! WARNING

Do not draw outside air from garage spaces. Exhaust products of gasoline engines are hazardous.

Do not install outside air ducts such that the air my be drawn from attic spaces, basements or above the roofi ng where other heating appliances or fans and chimneys exhaust or utilize air. These precautions will reduce the possibility of fi replace smoking or air

fl ow reversal. The outside air inlet must remain clear of leaves, debris ice and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while unit is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a fi re. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms.

To prevent contact with sagging or loose insulation, the fi replace must not be installed against vapour barriers or exposed insulation.

Localized overheating could occur and a fi re could result.
