. Design, Installation & Location Considerations

Consideration must be given to:

• Safety

• Convenience

• Trafﬁ c ﬂ ow

• Chimney and chimney connector required It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact

measurements for clearances and ﬂ oor protection, before actually beginning the installation. If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appliance where there will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.

We recommend that a qualiﬁ ed building inspector and your insurance company representative review your plans before and after installation

If this appliance is in an area where children may be near it is recommended that you purchase a decorative barrier to go in front of the appliance. away while it is operating and do not let anyone operate this appliance unless they are familiar with these operating instructions.

Service / Maintenance Tip:

In order to replace the tube channel a clearance of 19 inches (483mm) is required on the right side of stove in order to remove the tubes with the stove in place. If space is not available, the stove will have to be disconnected from the chimney to proceed with the tube replacement. See

page 35.

Getting Started

Remember to always keep children

CAUTION

Check building codes prior to installation.

• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

• Consult insurance carrier, local building, ﬁ re ofﬁ cials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.

WARNING

B. Fire Safety

To provide reasonable ﬁ re safety, the following should be given serious consideration:

1. Install at least one smoke detector on each ﬂ oor of your home to ensure your safety. They should be located away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly.

2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.

3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape routes.

4. A plan to deal with a chimney ﬁ re as follows:

In the event of a chimney ﬁ re:

a. Notify ﬁ re department b. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation. c. Close all openings into the stove. d. While awaiting ﬁ re department, watch for ignition

of adjacent combustibles from overheated stove pipe, hot embers or sparks from the chimney.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any responsibility for, and the warranty will be voided by, the following actions:

• Installation and use of any damaged appliance.

• Modiﬁ cation of the appliance.

• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home Technologies.

• Installation and/or use of any component part not approved by Hearth & Home Technologies.

• Operating appliance without fully assembling all components.

• Operating appliance without legs attached (if supplied with unit).

• Do NOT Overﬁ re - If appliance or chimney connector glows, you are overﬁ ring.

Any such action that may cause a ﬁ re hazard.

Asphyxiation Risk.

March 2, 2007

• Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney ﬂ ue servicing another appliance.

• Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct or system.

May allow ﬂ ue gases to enter the house.

7033-277C

WARNING

Fire Risk.

• Do not operate appliance before reading and understanding operating instructions.

• Failure to operate appliance properly may cause a house ﬁ re.

Page 5

3100 Wood Stove Series (ACC)

C. Negative Pressure

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:

• Preventing negative pressure

• Location of appliance and chimney Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-

able for the stove to operate properly . Causes for this imbalance include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath) etc.)

• Range hoods

• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters and other combustion appliances

• Clothes dryers

• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning

• Imbalances of HVAC air handling system

• Upper level air leaks

• Recessed lighting

• Attic hatch opening

• Duct leaks

To minimize the affects of negative air pressure the following must be considered:

• Install the outside air kit. Install the intake on the side of the house towards prevailing winds during the heating season.

• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion appliances and exhaust equipment.

• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance,

• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or small isolated spaces.

• Recessed lighting should be of “sealed can” design; attic hatches weather stripped or sealed; and attic mounted duckwork and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed.

3100 Wood Stove Series (ACC)

D. Flue Draft Considerations

Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance. As shown in Figure 6.1 on page 6 the chimney should:

• Be installed through the warm space enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die down of the ﬁ re.

• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.

• Consider the appliance location in order to avoid ﬂ oor and ceiling attic joists and rafters.

Exterior conditions such as roof line, surrounding trees, prevailing winds and nearby hills can influence stove performance. Y our local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and can usually make suggestions or discover solutions that will easily correct your ﬂ ue problem.

o be sure that your appliance burns properly, the chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.04 inch water column (W.C.) during a low burn and -.10 inch W.C. during a high burn, measured 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.

NOTE: These are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat for individual installations.

E. Venting Systems

The venting system consists of a chimney connector (also known as stove pipe) and a chimney. These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed 2000°F (1 100°C) in the event of a creosote ﬁ re. To protect against the possibility of a house ﬁ re, the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed and maintained. An approved thimble must be used when a connection is made through a combustible wall to a chimney . A chimney support package must be used when a connection is made through the ceiling to a prefabricated chimney. These accessories are absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material. Follow venting manufacturer’s clearances when installing venting system.

F. Tools And Supplies Needed

Before beginning the installation be sure that the following tools and building supplies are available.

Reciprocating saw Pliers Hammer Phillips Head Screwdriver Flat Blade Screwdriver Plumb Line Level Tape Measure

Framing Material Hi-Temp Caulking Material Gloves Framing Square Electric Drill & Bits (1/4”) Safety Glasses 1/2 in. - 3/4 in. length, #6 or #8 self drilling screws (need 3 per pipe section connection)

Operating Instructions

A. Fire Safety

To provide reasonable ﬁ re safety, the following should be given serious consideration:

2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.

3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape routes.

4. A plan to deal with a chimney ﬁ re as follows:

In the event of a chimney ﬁ re:

a. Notify ﬁ re department b. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation. c. Close all openings into the stove. d. While awaiting ﬁ re department, watch for ignition

of adjacent combustibles from overheated stove pipe, hot embers or sparks from the chimney.

B. Wood Selection & Storage

Burn only dry seasoned wood. Store wood under cover, out of the rain and snow. Dry and well-seasoned wood will not only minimize the chance of creosote formation, but will give you the most efﬁ cient ﬁ re. Even dry wood contains at least 15% moisture by weight, and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney hot for as long as it takes to dry the wood out - about one hour. It is a waste of energy to burn unseasoned wood of any kind.

Dead wood lying on the forest ﬂ oor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing dead wood can be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned. To tell if wood is dry enough to burn, check the ends of the logs. If there are cracks radiating in all directions from the center, it is dry. If your wood sizzles in the ﬁ re, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully cured.

Splitting wood before it is stored reduces drying time. Wood should be stacked so that both ends of each piece are exposed to air, since more drying occurs through the cut ends than the sides. This is true even with wood that has been split. Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or covered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets of scrap plywood, etc., as uncovered wood can absorb water from rain or snow, delaying the seasoning process.

WARNING

Fire Risk

Do NOT store wood:

• Closer than required clearances to combustibles to appliance

• Within space required for loading or ash removal.

Do NOT operate appliance:

• With appliance door open.

• With ash removal system door open.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

• Do NOT burn wet or green wood.

• Store wood in dry location.

• Stack wood so both ends are exposed to air.

Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of creosote.

C. Burning Process

In recent years there has been an increasing concern about air quality. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order to improve the situation, we at Quadra-Fire have developed cleaner-burning woodstoves that surpass the requirements for emissions established by our governing agencies. These woodstoves, like any other appliances, must be properly operated in order to insure that they perform the way they are designed to perform. Improper operation can turn most any wood stove into a smoldering environmental hazard.

1. Kindling or First Stage

It helps to know a little about the actual process of burning in order to understand what goes on inside a stove. The ﬁ rst stage of burning is called the kindling stage. In this stage, the wood is heated to a temperature high enough to evaporate the moisture which is present in all wood. The wood will reach the boiling point of water (212°F) and will not get any hotter until the water is evaporated. This process takes heat from the coals and tends to cool the appliance.

Fire requires three things to burn - fuel, air and heat. So, if heat is robbed from the appliance during the drying stage, the new load of wood has reduced the chances for a good clean burn. For this reason, it is always best to burn dry, seasoned ﬁ rewood. When the wood isn’t dry, you must open the air controls and burn at a high burn setting for a longer time to start it burning. The heat generated from the ﬁ re should be warming your home and establishing the ﬂ ue draft, not evaporating the moisture out of wet, unseasoned wood, resulting in wasted heat.

March 2, 2007

7033-277C

Page 25

3100 Wood Stove Series (ACC)

2. Second Stage

The next stage of burning, the secondary stage, is the period when the wood gives off ﬂ ammable gases which burn above the fuel with bright ﬂ ames. During this stage of burning it is very important that the ﬂ ames be maintained and not allowed to go out. This will ensure the cleanest possible ﬁ re. If the ﬂ ames tend to go out, it is set too low for your burning conditions. The air control located at the upper right hand corner is used to adjust for burn rates. This is called the Burn Rate Air Control. Figure 26.1.

3. Final Stage

The ﬁ nal stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs

when the ﬂ ammable gases have been mostly burned and only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of the burn. The coals burn with hot blue ﬂ ames.

It is very important to reload your appliance while enough lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood. It is best to open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Controls before reloading. This livens up the coalbed and reduces excessive emissions (opacity/smoke). Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit appliance through opening. You should also break up any large chunks and distribute the coals so that the new wood is laid on hot coals.

Air quality is important to all of us, and if we choose to use wood to heat our homes we should do so responsibly . To do this we need to learn to burn our stoves in the cleanest way possible. Doing this will allow us to continue using our wood stoves for many years to come.

The second function of the Start-Up Air Control is operation of the rear air system. The rear air is used primarily during a High Burn Rate. However, in some instances rear air is desired during normal operation to help with combustion of fuel towards the back of the ﬁ rebox particularly when burning hardwoods. The rear air is controlled independently from the ACC system. Slide the Start-Up Air Control between the ﬁ rst and third marker as indicated on the label to allow rear air to enter the ﬁ rebox. Figure 26.1.

2. Manual Timer Over-Ride

If you need to shut the ACC system off before it shuts itself off after 25 minutes (i.e. overﬁ re situation), reach down to the bottom right rear corner and pull the lever toward you.

D. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC)

Typically , when you build a ﬁ re, you open the air controls fully and monitor the ﬁ re to prevent it from going into an overﬁ re situation and/or burning your wood up too quickly before you shut down the air controls to the desired burn rate. With the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) system, you do not have to continually monitor the ﬁ re. Once you set the ACC system it will control the ﬁ re for you. Follow the instructions below to learn how to operate your stove with ease.

E. Air Controls

1. Start-Up Air Control

The Start-Up Air Control has two primary functions. The ﬁ rst function is to activate the Automatic Combustion Control system (ACC). This function is performed by sliding the control all the way back until it stops at the “HI” indicator on the label and then pulling forward to the front of the stove until it stops. This activates the ACC system and opens the front air channel and allows air to enter the front of the stove for approximately 25 minutes. The front air channel gradually shuts down until it is completely closed at the end of the 25 minutes. The ﬁ re is now controlled by the air supplied by the Burn Rate Air Control. This function should be performed each time you reload the stove. Figure 25.1.

2. Burn Rate Air Control

This air supply enters at the upper front of the ﬁ rebox, near the top of the glass door. This preheated air supplies the necessary fresh oxygen to mix with the unburned gases, helping to create second, third and fourth combustions. This air is regulated by the Burn Rate Air Control. There are four settings High, Medium-High, Medium-Low and Low. When the control is raised all the way up it is on the High setting and when pushed all the down it is on the Low setting. Figure 27.1.

F. Burn Rates and Operating Efﬁ ciency

For maximum operating efﬁ ciency

1. This appliance has a timer system (ACC) that operates the stove at its maximum efﬁ ciency removing any guess work for the homeowner. Follow the instructions below for each burn rate for the Start-Up Air Control and Burn Rate Air Control. Figure 27.1.

G. Building A Fire

Before lighting your ﬁ rst ﬁ re in the stove:

1. Conﬁ rm the bafﬂ e is correctly positioned. It should be even with the front tube and resting on all tubes. Figure

28.1.

2. Follow instructions on page 32 for cleaning plated surfaces, if applicable.

3. Remove all labels from glass.

There are many ways to build a ﬁ re. The basic principle is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning ﬁ rewood. Here is one method that works well:

Open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Controls fully.

2. Place several wads of crushed paper on the ﬁ rebox ﬂ oor. Heating the ﬂ ue with slightly crumpled newspaper before adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.

3. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.

4. Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in the immediate area of the appliance. Be sure the room is adequately ventilated and the ﬂ ue unobstructed.

5. Light the paper in the appliance. NEVER light or rekindle ﬁ re with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter ﬂ uid; the results can be fatal.

6. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several fulllength logs 3 inches (76mm) or 4 inches (102mm) in diameter. Be careful not to smother the ﬁ re. Stack the pieces of wood carefully; near enough to keep each other hot, but far enough away from each other to allow adequate air ﬂ ow between them.

7. Set the Burn Rate Air Control and activate the timer system (ACC).

8. When ready to reload, It is best to fully open both the Burn Rate Air and Start-up Air Controls before reload- ing. This livens up the coalbed and reduces excessive emissions (opacity/smoke). Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit appliance through opening. Large logs burn slowly , holding a ﬁ re longer. Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.

As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 6 through 8 will maintain a continuous ﬁ re throughout the season.

H. Blower Operating Instructions

NOTE: If your Quadra-Fire wood stove is equipped with an

optional blower, you should follow these guidelines:

1. Initial (cold) start-up and all Burn Settings The blower can be plugged in and turned on right away .

The blower fan is turned on and off by a snap disc. When your stove has reached a certain temperature the blower will turn on and when your stove has cooled down to a certain temperature it will turn off.

NOTE: The blower can still be left on at all burn rates even if you have deactivated the snap disc with the manual over-ride knob. See page 15.

2. The blower is equipped with a speed control. Adjust the fan speed by turning the speed control clockwise to “Low” or counterclockwise to “High”.

3. Snap Disc Location If you ﬁ nd the blower coming on and off at undesirable

temperatures, relocate the snap disc to another location in the designated zone on the back of the appliance. Figure 29.1 There is a manual over-ride switch to deactivate the snap disc, if necessary. See page 15.

I. Opacity (Smoke)

This is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney , and 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen. As you become familiar with your appliance, you should periodically check the opacity. This will allow you to know how to burn as nearly smoke-free as possible (goal of 0% opacity).

J. Overﬁ ring

Do not overﬁ re. Using ﬂ ammable liquids or too much wood,

burning trash in the appliance, or allowing too much air into the ﬁ re may result in overﬁ ring. If the chimney connector (stove pipe) or appliance glows red or even worse, white, it is overﬁ red. This condition may ignite creosote in the chimney , which can be dangerous, possibly causing a house ﬁ re. If you overﬁ re, immediately close the air controls and door, if open, to reduce the air supply to the ﬁ re. Overﬁ ring will

void the stove warranty.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

• Do NOT burn garbage or ﬂ ammable ﬂ uids

such as gasoline, naptha or engine oil.

• Do NOT burn treated wood or wood with salt (driftwood).

• May generate carbon monooxide if burn material other

than wood.

May result in illness or possible death.

K. Frequently Asked Questions

ISSUES SOLUTIONS

Odor from appliance When ﬁ rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the ﬁ rst several hours. This is

caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.

Metallic noise Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to

the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of the appliance.

Whirring sound If the optional blower has been installed, the blower produces a whirring sound which

increases in volume as the speed is increased.

Maintaining & Servicing Your Appliance

A. General Maintenance

1. Creosote (Chimney) Cleaning

• Frequency: Annually before lighting stove or once every 2

months during heating season.

• By: Homeowner / Chimney Sweep

• Task: See the following instructions.

Remove all ash from the ﬁ rebox and extinguish all hot embers before disposal. Allow the appliance to cool completely. Disconnect ﬂ ue pipe or remove bafﬂ e and ceramic blanket from appliance before cleaning chimney. Otherwise residue can pile up on top of the bafﬂ e and ceramic blanket and the appliance will not work properly. (See Bafﬂ e Removal on page 34). Close the door tightly. The creosote or soot should be removed with a brush speciﬁ cally designed for the type of chimney in use. Clean out fallen ashes from the ﬁ rebox. A chimney sweep can perform this service.

It is also recommended that before each heating season the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and repaired if necessary.

Inspection: Inspect the system at the appliance connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to check the chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.

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 ﬂ ue of a newly-started or a slow-burning ﬁ re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ﬂ ue lining. When ignited, this creosote creates an extremely hot ﬁ re which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected once every 2 months during the heating season to determine if a creosote or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney ﬁ re.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Prevent creosote buildup.

• Inspect chimney connector and chimney once every two months during heating season.

• Remove creosote to reduce risk of chimney ﬁ re.

• Ignited creosote is extremely HOT.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

• Do not use chimney cleaners or ﬂ ame colo-

rants in your appliance.

Will corrode pipe.

3100 Wood Stove Series (ACC)

3. ARS Operating and Cleaning

• Frequency: As necessary

• By: Homeowner

• Task: See the following instructions.

CAUTION

Injury Risk.

• Gloves recommended

• May have sharp edges

1. The stove and ashes must be completely cooled down before using the Ash Removal System. Reach down and locate the ash removal door handle under the left side of the stove in the center. Squeeze the handle and push all the way back. A magnet will hold the handle in place which in turn holds the ash door open.

2. Clean ash down through the ash removal system grate into the drawer below. If there are large pieces in the ashes, you can remove the grate before brushing the ash into the drawer. Be sure to replace the grate before operating the stove. Remember to leave 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6-13mm) of ash on the ﬁ rebox ﬂ oor to act as a natural grate, allowing air to ﬂ ow freely underneath wood.

3. Close the door handle, you will hear a “click” when it closes. The ash drawer will not pull out if the door handle is left in the open position. Wear gloves to remove the drawer. Dispose of the ashes following the directions below.

3. Disposal of Ashes

• Frequency: As necessary

• By: Homeowner

• Task: See the following instructions.

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 on the 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.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Disposal of Ashes

• Ashes should be placed in metal container with tight ﬁ tting lid.

• Do not place metal container on combustible surface.

• Ashes should be retained in closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

4. Glass Cleaning

• Frequency: As necessary

• By: Homeowner

• Task: See the following instructions.

Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack. If the deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal glass cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be removed by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by using a commercially available oven cleaner. After using an oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any residue with a glass cleaner or soap and water. Oven cleaner left on during the next ﬁ ring can permanently stain the glass and damage the ﬁ nish on plated metal surfaces.

A portion of the combustion air entering the ﬁ rebox is deﬂ ected down over the inside of the door glass. This air ﬂ ow “washes” the glass, helping to keep smoke from adhering to its surface. When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be ﬂ owing over the glass and the smokey, relatively cool condition of a low ﬁ re will cause the glass to become coated. Operating the appliance with the Burn Rate Air Control and Start-Up Air Control all the way open for 15-20 minutes should remove the built up coating.

CAUTION

Handle glass assembly with care.

Glass

Assembly

• Do NOT use abrasive cleaners.

• Use a hard water deposit glass cleaner on white ﬁ lm.

• Use commerical oven cleaner on heavier deposits.

• Remove all residue of oven cleaner or will permanently stain glass on next ﬁ ring.

•

Refer to maintenance instructions.

When cleaning glass:

• Avoid striking, scratching or slamming glass.

• Do NOT clean glass when hot.

5. Cleaning Plated Surfaces

• Frequency: As necessary

• By: Homeowner

• Task: See the following instructions.

Clean all the ﬁ ngerprints and oils from plated surfaces BEFORE ﬁ ring the appliance for the ﬁ rst time. If not cleaned properly before lighting your ﬁ rst ﬁ re, the oils can cause permanent markings on the plating. After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the ﬁ nish and little maintenance is required. Wipe clean as needed.

CAUTION

• Do not use polishes with abrasives. It will scratch plated surfaces.

B. Glass Replacement

1. Ensure that the ﬁ re is out and the appliance is cool to the touch.

2. Protect a table or counter top with padding or towels. Protect your hands and wear gloves to prevent injury.

3. Remove the door with the broken glass by lifting the door up and off of the hinges.

Lay door face down on a table or counter making sure the handle hangs over the edge so the door lays ﬂ at, on a soft surface.

5. Remove the screws from each glass retainer and remove the glass. (If screws are difﬁ cult to remove, soak with penetrating oil ﬁ rst).

6. Center the glass with edges evenly overlapping the opening in the door, (i.e. same space top and bottom, left and right sides).

7. Replace the glass retainers. Be careful not to cross thread the screws.

8. Tighten each retainer just a few turns until each is secured. Check again for centering of glass in door frame. Continue to tighten each retainer alternately , a few turns at a time, until the glass is secure. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

9. Replace the door on the appliance.

Quadra-Fire stoves are equipped with ceramic super heat-resistant glass, which can only be broken by impact or misuse. Do not slam stove door or impact the glass.
