ELECTRIC CODE IN CANADA OR THE CURRENT NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 IN

THE UNITED STATES.

THIS APPLIANCE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH ANY VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO

REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR PREVENT INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL A VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG

SET INTO THE APPLIANCE.

BURNING YOUR UNIT WITH THE ASH DUMP DOOR OPEN OR AJAR CREATES A FIRE HAZARD THAT

MAY RESULT IN DISCOLOURATION TO THE GOLD PLATED DOOR, INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE

APPLIANCE OR A HOUSE CHIMNEY FIRE.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

THIS APPLIANCE AND IT’S COMPONENTS ARE DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED AND OPERATED AS A

SYSTEM. ANY ALTERATION TO OR SUBSTITUTION FOR ITEMS IN THIS SYSTEM, UNLESS ALLOWED

BY THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, WILL VOID THE LISTING AND MAY VOID THE PRODUCT

WARRANTY. IT MAY ALSO CREATE A HAZARDOUS INSTALLATION. READ THROUGH THESE

INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING YOUR INSTALLATION AND FOLLOW THEM

CAREFULLY THROUGHOUT YOUR PROJECT.

4.7

• Before beginning your installation, consult with your local building code agency or ﬁ re ofﬁ cials and insurance representative to ensure compliance.

• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a window near the appliance.

• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before ﬁ ring the appliance as the paint will become soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on your appliance burn your appliance moderately hot during the ﬁ rst few ﬁ res.

• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door every 5-10 minutes.

• For the ﬁ rst two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide open for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel and ﬁ rebricks. The initial heat output will be reduced while the moisture is bring drawn from the appliance and it will be necessary to build several hot ﬁ res to remove this moisture. DURING THIS PROCESS

DO NOT OVER FIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE APPLIANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.

W415-1087 / A / 06.06.13

2.4 GENERAL INFORMATION

We suggest that our woodburning hearth products be installed and serviced by professionals who are certified in the U.S. by the National Fireplace Institue® (NFI) as NFI Woodburning Specialists or who are certified in Canada by Wood Energy Technical Training (WETT).

Your appliance was speciﬁ cally designed to meet the July 1990 particulate emission standards and has been extensively tested in Canadian and US laboratories. This system is the most efﬁ cient, simple and trouble free we know; it works as follows:

Y our appliance uses clean-burning technology found in all Napoleon EPA certiﬁ ed stoves equipped with an heat circulating blower . External modiﬁ cations have been made to allow its installation as a “functional insert” with a heat circulating blower system and a means of enclosing the solid fuel burning ﬁ replace cavity for greater heating efﬁ ciency.

Y our appliance must be installed only into a solid fuel burning ﬁ replace that is at least 18” (457.2mm) deep, 27” (685.8mm) wide and 22” (558.8mm)high with an approved lined chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m) and a hearth of 18” (457.2mm) for Canada and 16” (406.4mm) for USA. This minimum recess can only be achieved if the opening height is sufﬁ cient enough to allow the connector to ﬁ t under the noncombustible facing. The appliance and chimney must be constructed in accordance with all national and local building code standards.

AIR INLET PATH

The chimney vent system used on your wood burning

EXHAUST PATH

appliance should be designed with the least amount of restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily ﬂ ow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too short or too long can also have an adverse affect on the ﬂ ow of exhaust through it. The wood burning appliance and chimney vent system also require a sufﬁ cient supply of combustion air not only to support the combustion in the combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it so it can ﬂ ow freely up through the vent system and out into the atmosphere. It is the correct balance of combustion air and the chimney vent system that will ensure the appliance provides you with its optimum performance.

Secondary air from the side intake openings travels up to the secondary air housing to the manifold located across the top and ﬂ ows out laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.

The combustion chamber is lined with high temperature refractory ﬁ rebricks on the sides, back and bottom with a ﬁ bre bafﬂ e on top to maintain a high temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing with the preheated air from the secondary air manifold tubes are easily ignited and burned.

Be sure to provide sufﬁ cient 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.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected. After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance

may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the ﬁ rebox burning off. Open a window to sufﬁ ciently ventilate the room.

2.5 E.P.A. COMPLIANCE

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.

If you experience smoking problems, you may need to open a door, a window or otherwise provide some method of supplying combustion air to the appliance.

With K values, the lower value is a better insulator. With R values, the higher number is better.

K-Value Example:

A wood stove may call for thermal protection which has a K factor of 1 or less. A product such as Micore 300 Board from USG has a K-Value of approximately .43 per inch. Therefore, a 1/2” (12.7mm) thickness of this board would have a K-Value of .86, which meets the requirement of our example stove.

R-Value Example:

This ﬁ replace calls for thermal protection with an R-Value of 0.59. This same board above is rated as having an R-Value of 2.33 for a 1” (25.4mm) thickness. Therefore, 1/2” (12.7mm) of the Micore 300 Board would have a R-value of 1.165, which meets the speciﬁ cations for this ﬁ replace.

4.1 TYPICAL EXISTING MASONRY

You can install your appliance using your existing masonry chimney. To do

so, follow the guidelines below. If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the speciﬁ cations of the Building Code in your region. It must normally be lined with ﬁ re clay bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with ﬁ re cement. (Round ﬂ ues are the most efﬁ cient).

MASONRY CHIMNEY MUST HAVE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY

DAMPER PLATE REMOVED OR FASTENED IN OPEN POSITION

SEAL WITH NONCOMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL

A.Remove the ﬁ replace damper or fasten it permanently open.

* We recommend the following method of sealing off the damper area around the liner. B.* Measure the throat of the ﬁ replace and mark this shape on a piece of 24 gauge (0.6mm) sheet metal (ﬂ ue cover); cut a six-inch [6.75” (171.5mm)] hole to lie directly below the ﬁ replace ﬂ ue opening. Allow two inches (50.8mm) of material for a ﬂ ange on all sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the

ﬂ anges. If you have never done this before, it might be a good idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it ﬁ rst. Fasten this ﬂ ue cover in position as high as possible with two masonry screws per side through the ﬂ anges into the ﬁ replace.

C. Permanently seal any opening between the masonry of the ﬁ replace and the facing masonry. In Canada: This ﬁ replace insert must be installed with a continuous chimney liner of 6” (152.4mm) 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-S635, 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. Attach a stainless steel liner connector or elbow to the liner and insert onto the ﬂ ue collar. Fasten with three screws. Secure the top of the liner to the chimney cap using a liner support and chimney ﬂ ashing. Cap the top of the chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.

In the United States: While it is not required, it is recommended that a chimney liner be installed that is continuous from the insert to the top of the chimney , particularly when the insert is installed in a basement. For this type of connection, use the “In Canada” installation instructions above. If a continuous liner is not installed, a “direct ﬂ ue connection” must be made. The direct ﬂ ue connection requires a non-combustible connector that extends from the insert into the chimney ﬂ ue liner and also that the installed ﬂ ue cover be sealed below the entry point of the connector to prevent dilution of combustion products in the chimney ﬂ ue with air from inside the house. This room heater must be connected to a code-approved masonry chimney with a ﬂ ue liner. Cap the top of the chimney using an approved rain cap.

The following installation requirements must be observed when installing solid fuel burning inserts into factory built ﬁ replaces.

W415-1087 / A / 06.06.13

4.2 INSTALLING THE EPI3

A. Flue collar orientation

Prior to installation, if possible, determine the type of orientation that works best with your appliance. The orientation of the ﬂ ue collar can be in a vertical position, or you may also choose to allow for a 30 degree

backwards angle by rotating the ﬂ ue collar 180 degrees, at the top of the appliance. When deciding on the cleaning method for your chimney we recommend cleaning from the top, chimney

cap, downwards. This way the centre bar of the ﬂ ue collar protects the bafﬂ e inside the appliance from any damages the chimney brush may cause. However, if cleaning must be done from inside the home, cutting the centre bar inside the ﬂ ue collar can be done using a reciprocating metal cutting saw or hack saw.

B. Installing a venting system

We recommend that the installation of the connector or ﬂ ue liner be completed prior to continuing, however this may differ depending on your application. See Figure 1 for venting system components.

1. Remove the front air tube to gain access to the ﬁ ber bafﬂ e, and then also remove the ﬁ ber bafﬂ e.

2. Remove the iron ﬂ ue collar from the appliance. Ensure gasket is in place, and in good condition.

3. Drill three holes into the adapter pipe or ﬂ ue liner using the holes in the iron collar as a guide. Secure the adapter pipe, or ﬂ ue liner to the ﬂ ue collar. Take care to ensure the studs on the ﬂ ue collar are properly aligned to their respective holes on the insert.

4. Using the previously outlined method secure the ﬂ exible pipe to the pipe adaptor.

5. The ﬁ nished height measurements from the hearth surface to the center bar of the ﬂ ue collar should be 19” (482.6mm), see Figure 2 for details on the installation of the connector pipe or liner. This allows for an easy connection, once the appliance is in place.

4.3 FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE

The following installation requirements must be observed when installing solid fuel burning inserts into factory built ﬁ replaces.

A. The factory built ﬁ replace must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610. B. Clearances to any combustible material surrounding this insert as identiﬁ ed must be followed. These

clearance requirements supersede any pre-existing facing material clearances listed for the factory built ﬁ replace.

C. Installation must include a full height listed chimney liner meeting HT requirements (2100°F/1149°C)

as required in UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely attached to the insert ﬂ ue collar and the chimney top.

D. Means must be provided to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the ﬁ replace. This may

be accomplished by sealing the damper area around the chimney liner, or sealing the appliance front.

E. The air ﬂ ow within and around the appliance shall not be altered by the installation of the insert (i.e.

no louvres or cooling air inlet or outlet ports are blocked), unless speciﬁ cally tested as such for each factory built ﬁ replace manufacturer and model line. NOTE: Using a louvered face plate (surround)

complies with this requirement.

F. Alteration of the appliance in any manner is not permitted with the following exceptions;

A. External trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the appliance may be removed providing

they can be stored on or within the ﬁ replace for reassembly if the insert is removed.

B. The chimney damper may be removed to install the chimney liner.

G. Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel ﬁ replace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked. H. Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chimney ﬂ ue. I. Inserts that project in front of the ﬁ replace must be supplied with appropriate support means. J. A permanent metal warning label must be attached to the back of the ﬁ replace stating that the ﬁ replace

must be restored to its original condition for safe use without the insert.

HOT WHILE IN OPERATION, KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY

CAUSE SKIN BURNS. WEAR GLOVES TO OPERATE YOUR APPLIANCE.

BURNING YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE DOORS OPEN OR AJAR CREATES A FIRE HAZARD THAT

MAY RESULT IN A HOUSE AND OR CHIMNEY FIRE.

Y our Napoleon EPA listed product is designed with the most advanced technology. The appliance is extremely airtight. The ﬁ rst ﬁ re(s) in your appliance will be difﬁ cult to get going and keep going with little amount of heat being generated.

This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the ﬁ re brick. Allow 30 to 40 hours of hot ﬁ res (temperatures in excess of 500°F / 932°C - 600°F / 1 12°C) before your appliance will perform normally. During the break-in period (the ﬁ rst 2 or 3 ﬁ res) create only small, hot ﬁ res using kindling; this will allow the ﬁ rebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed if small hairline cracks develop in the ﬁ rebrick. This is a normal occurrence and does not pose a safety hazard. The paint may also smell a little for the ﬁ rst few ﬁ res as it cures and you may wish to open a door or window to alleviate the smell.

To start, a brisk ﬁ re is required. Place loosely crumpled paper on the ﬂ oor of the appliance and cover with dry kindling. Open the air control fully by sliding control all the way to the right. Light the paper and leave the door slightly ajar (not more than one inch (25.4mm)) until all kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk ﬁ re, a hot coal bed must be established and sustained.

Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed with a shallow trench between, so that the primary air can ﬂ ow directly into this trench and ignite the fuel above. When the ﬁ re seems to be at its peak, medium sized logs may be added. Once these logs have caught ﬁ re, carefully close the door. (Closing the door too quickly after refueling will reduce the ﬁ rebox temperature and result in an unsatisfactory burn.) Remember it is more efﬁ cient to burn medium sized wood, briskly, and refuel frequently than to load the appliance with large logs that result in a smoldering, inefﬁ cient ﬁ re and dirty glass.

As soon as the door is closed, you will observe a change in the ﬂ ame pattern. The ﬂ ames will get smaller and lazier because less oxygen is getting into the combustion chamber. The ﬂ ames, however , are more efﬁ cient. The ﬂ ames will remain lazy but become larger again as soon as the ﬁ rebricks have been heated thoroughly and the chimney becomes heated and provides a good draft. At this point, the roaring ﬁ re that you see when the door is opened is wastefully drawing heated room air up the chimney , certainly not desirable. Always operate with the door fully closed once the medium sized logs have caught ﬁ re. Operating the appliance with the door open for extended periods of time may result in damages to the appliance.

W415-1087 / A / 06.06.13

You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once the appliance is entirely hot,

it will burn very efﬁ ciently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of orange coals in the ﬁ rebox and secondary ﬂ ames ﬂ ickering just below the top bafﬂ es. You can safely ﬁ ll the ﬁ rebox with wood to the top of the door and will get best burns if you keep the appliance surface temperatures between 500°F (260°C) and 600°F (315°C).

Without an appliance thermometer, you are working blind and have no idea of how the appliance is operating! An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance.

Can’t get the ﬁ re going? Use more kindling and paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and there is sufﬁ cient combustion air, the lack of sufﬁ ciently dry quantities of small kindling is the problem. Thumb size is a good gauge for small kindling diameter.

Can’t get heat out of the appliance? One of two things may have happened. The appliance door may have been closed prematurely and the appliance itself has not reached optimum temperature. Reopen the door and/ or draft control to re-establish a brisk ﬁ re. The other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is sizzling wood and moisture being driven from the wood.

6.1 AIR CONTROL

Draft is the force which moves air from the ﬁ rebox up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length and diameter of chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Adjusting the air control all the way to the right reduces the temperature. The draft can be adjusted from low to high by moving the handle from right to left. Inadequate draft may cause back-pufﬁ ng into the room through the appliance and chimney connector points and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may cause an excessive temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts or chimney connectors or an uncontrollable burn which can lead to a chimney ﬁ re or permanent damage to the appliance. Do not operate your appliance for longer than 30 minutes with the air control on “HIGH” (fully open).

AIR CONTROL

6.2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE DETECTORS

ll homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one ﬁ re extinguisher in a central location, known to all, and at least one smoke detector in the room containing the appliance. If it sounds an alarm, correct the cause but do not de-activate or relocate the smoke detector.

91.1

6.3 FUEL

WARNING

DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES, OR IN THE SPACE REQUIRED

FOR RE-FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL.

BURNING WET, UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHEN

IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.

For maximum efﬁ ciency, when the appliance is thoroughly hot, load it fully to the top of the door opening and burn at a medium low setting. Maximum heat for minimum fuel (optimum burn) occurs when the appliance top temperature is between 500°F (260°C) and 600°F (315°C). The bricks will be nearly all white and the glass mostly clear. The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanliness of the glass are good indicators of your operating efﬁ ciency. Not enough heat is produced when only one or two pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not burn completely . A minimum of three pieces are needed to encase a bed of coals that sustains the ﬁ re.

NOTE: When loading the appliance, keep fuel back from the glass. If coals are to accumulate on the front lip, there is a chance they will fall out when the door is opened.

W415-1087 / A / 06.06.13

Loosely stacked wood burns quicker than a tightly packed load. Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a steady output of heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your household routine so that only enough coals are left to

start the next load. In the evening, load your appliance, at least, a half-hour before bed to ensure a good ﬁ re, hot enough to close the draft control for an overnight burn.

Burn only dry seasoned wood. It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Do not burn ocean beach wood. Its salt content can produce a metal eating acid. When refueling open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage. Use a pair of long gloves (barbecue gloves) when feeding the ﬁ re. Because these appliances burn at the front, they are clean and efﬁ cient, but they are also very hot and gloves are useful. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store the wood within 3 feet (1m) of the appliance.

6.4 LIGHTING A FIRE

NOTE: During initial start-up the appliance may smoke, this is more likely to occur when there is poor draft. To prevent the appliance from smoking slightly open the door, approximately 1 - 2 inches (25.4mm - 50.8mm).

6.4.1 FLASH FIRE

A ﬂ ash ﬁ re is a small ﬁ re burned quickly when you don't need much heat. After your kindling has "caught", load at least 3 pieces of wood, stacked loosely. Burn with the draft control fully open or closed only slightly.

93.1

6.4.2 EXTENDED FIRE

Load your larger pieces of wood compactly, packed close enough to prevent the ﬂ ames from penetrating it completely. After approximately 30 minutes, depending on the size of the load, close the draft control completely making sure that the ﬁ re is not extinguished.

DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE!

Overﬁ ring can occur by: A. Burning large amounts of smaller wood pieces such as furniture scraps, skids or treated wood;

B. Vigorously burning large loads of wood with the draft control on “HIGH” (fully open) for long periods of

time (one or two hours).

C. Operating the appliance with the ash dump door blocked open or a poor gasket seal on the main door.

82.1

6.5 SMOKING

A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does, check the following:

• Has the chimney had time to get hot?

• Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, chimney connector or chimney?

• Is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside? Try with a window partly open.

• Is the smoke ﬂ ow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?

• Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside chimney, too large a diameter of a chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?

6.6 BLOWER OPERATION

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THIS APPLIANCE.

USE ONLY WOLF STEEL APPROVED OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENT PARTS WITH

THIS APPLIANCE. USING NON-LISTED ACCESSORIES (BLOWERS, DOORS, LOUVRES,

TRIMS, ETC.) COULD RESULT IN A SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND

CERTIFICATION.

ENSURE THAT THE BLOWER’S POWER CORD IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH ANY SURFACE OF THE

APPLIANCE TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE DAMAGE. DO NOT RUN THE POWER

CORD BENEATH THE APPLIANCE.

Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings, causing irreparable damage. Care must be taken to prevent drywall dust from coming into contact with the blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from this condition is not covered by the warranty policy. Use of the blower increases the output of heat.

Keep the blower opening free from ash build-up. This appliance is equipped with a micro (pressure) switch, the micro switch shuts off the blower when the

door is open. This helps to reduce smoke from being blown into the room, and a thermally activated switch. The blower will only operate when the door is closed and the thermally activated switch reaches temperature (approximately 15-30 minutes depending on the intensity of the ﬁ re.

A. Open the door and adjust the variable speed switch to desired speed. (It is necessary to depress the micro switch when making this adjustment.

NOTE: For highest efﬁ ciency, do not operate the blower when the air control is set to its lowest setting. Furthermore, operate the blower on a slower speed when the air control is not more than 3/8” (9.5mm) open from its lowest setting, and operate on any speed when air control is on any other setting. When the appliance is cool, vacuum ash out from the blower area, for improved performance and an increased longevity.

NOTE: This blower has thermal overload protection. For optimal performance operate blower at all times, while the appliance is ﬁ red, except when the air control is set to its lowest setting.

7.0 MAINTENANCE

TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.

Check your chimney and chimney connector for creosote and soot buildup weekly until a safe frequency for cleaning is established.

If accumulation is excessive, disconnect the appliance and clean both the chimney and the appliance. You may want to call a professional chimney sweep to clean them. Both have to be cleaned at least once a year or as often as necessary.

Remove the bafﬂ e and clean above it once a year. Replace any broken bricks.

7.1 ASH REMOVAL PROCEDURES

WARNING

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.

WARNING

IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF ASHES RESULT IN FIRES. DO NOT DISCARD ASHES IN CARDBOARD

BOXES, DUMP IN BACK YARDS, OR STORE IN GARAGES.

IF USING A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP ASHES, BE SURE THE ASHES ARE ENTIRELY COOLED. USING

A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP WARM ASHES COULD CAUSE A FIRE INSIDE THE VACUUM.

Allow the ashes in your ﬁ rebox to accumulate to a depth of two or three inches (50.8 - 76.2mm); they tend to burn themselves up. When the ﬁ re has burned down and cooled, remove any excess ashes but leave an ash bed approximately 1” (25.4mm) deep on the ﬁ rebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.

NOTE: Keep ash depth to a minimum to prevent hot embers from overﬂ owing. DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight ﬁ tting lid. The closed

container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible ﬂ oor or ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending ﬁ 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.

7.2 CREOSOTE FORMATION AND 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 cooler chimney ﬂ ue of a slow-burning ﬁ re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ﬂ ue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot ﬁ re.

The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.

If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney ﬁ re.

W415-1087 / A / 06.06.13

7.3 RUNAWAY OR CHIMNEY FIRE

A CHIMNEY FIRE CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR CHIMNEY SYSTEM. THIS DAMAGE CAN

ONLY BE REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE DAMAGED COMPONENT PARTS. CHIMNEY FIRES ARE

NOT COVERED BY THE LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY.

CAUSES:

• Using incorrect fuel, or small fuel pieces which would normally be used as kindling.

• Leaving the door ajar too long and creating extreme temperatures as the air rushes in the open door.

• Improperly installed or worn gaskets.

• Creosote build up in chimney.

SOLUTIONS:

• Do not burn treated or processed wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper or cardboard.

• Be careful not to overﬁ re the appliance by leaving the door open too long after the initial start-up. A thermometer on the chimney connector and/or appliance top helps.

• Replace worn, dried out (inﬂ exible) gaskets.

• Have chimney regularly cleaned.

IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE:

• Have a well understood plan for evacuation and a place outside for everyone to meet. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone’s safety.

• Close air control on appliance.

• Call local ﬁ re department. Have a ﬁ re extinguisher handy. Contact local authorities for further informa- tion on how to handle a chimney ﬁ re.

• After the chimney ﬁ re is out, clean and inspect the chimney or chimney liner for stress and cracks prior to lighting another ﬁ re. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof.

85.2

W415-1087 / A / 06.06.13

7.4 CHIMNEY CLEANING

Both the chimney and the appliance must be inspected and cleaned if necessary at least once a year.

7.5 DOOR REMOVAL

For serious wood burners, chimney cleaning must be done as needed to avoid chimney ﬁ res; the venting systems for controlled combustion appliances may need cleaning as often as once a month. These rates, however, depend on the burning habits of the individual operating the appliance. For example, it is possible to clog a solid fuel appliance chimney in a few days if slow, smoldering ﬁ res are burned and the chimney is cold.

NOTE: Appliances burned consistently without hot ﬁ res may result in signiﬁ cant creosote accumulations in the chimney.

Certain items and considerations are important in chimney cleaning:

• Proper tools should be used, including a brush speciﬁ cally designed for chimney cleaning.

• The chimney connector and dampers as well as the chimney should be cleaned.

• The appliance’s ﬁ rebox and bafﬂ e system should be cleaned if needed.

• The chimney should be inspected and repairs made if needed, preferably by a qualiﬁ ed chimney sweep or mason.
