This manual contains instructions for Installation, Operation & Maintenance. Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:

1) When installing your stove, particular attention should be paid to ﬁre protection. If this room heater is not properly installed, a house ﬁre may result. To reduce the risk of ﬁre, follow the installation instructions. Contact local building, ﬁre ofﬁcials or authority having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection and permit requirements in your area.

2) CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter ﬂuid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a ﬁre in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

3) During operation, if any part of the stove starts to glow, the stove is in an overﬁred condition. Close the air controls completely by pulling them out, until the glowing has stopped. OVERFIRING VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY!

4) Cool ashes should be disposed of carefully, using a metal container.

5) Do not burn wet or green wood. Store wood in a dry location.

6) DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. Do not burn treated wood, or wood with salt (driftwood, etc.). Burning materials other than wood (including charcoal) under adverse conditions may generate carbon monoxide in the home, resulting in illness or possible death.

7) Do not permit creosote or soot to accumulate excessively in the chimney or inside the ﬁrebox.

8) Check your chimney system thoroughly when installing into an existing metal or masonry chimney. Seek professional advice if in doubt about its condition.

9) Do not connect this unit to a chimnney ﬂue already serving another appliance.

10) Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as shown in this manual for this appliance.

11) Build ﬁre on brick ﬁrebox ﬂoor. Do not use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.

12) HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! Keep children, pets, clothing and furniture away. Contact can cause skin burns.

13) Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.

14) RISK OF FIRE! Do not operate with stove door or ash removal system door open.

15) For further information refer to NFPA 211 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B365 (Canada).

16) Do not operate without fully assembling all components. Burning your stove wthout the legs attached (if supplied with unit) will void your warranty, and could present a serious safety hazard.

17) Do not operate with broken glass.

LISTINGS & SAFETY CAUTIONS

These installation instructions describe the installation and operation of the QUADRA-FIRE 4300 woodstove. This stove meets the U.S . Environmental Protection Agency’s 1990 particulate emission standards. The 4300 is listed by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. to UL Safety Standard 1482, and ULC S627, and (UM) 84-HUD. The 4300 is approved for mobile home installations when not installed in a sleeping room and when an outside combustion air inlet is provided. The structural integrity of the mobile home ﬂoor, ceiling, and walls must be maintained. The stove must be properly grounded to the frame of the mobile home and use only listed double-wall connector pipe. Outside Air Kit, Part 831-1780, must be installed in a mobile home installation.

Check with your local building code agency before you begin your installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the need for permits and follow-up inspections. Be sure local building codes do not supersede UL speciﬁcations and always obtain a building permit so that insurance protection beneﬁts cannot be unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during installation, please contact your local dealer.

Inspect and clean vent system frequently in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Do not connect this unit to a chimney serving another appliance.

When using optional Blower, Part 831-1701, route power cord away from unit. Do not route cord under or in front of appliance.

Do not elevate ﬁre. Build wood ﬁre directly on ﬁrebrick.

Do not overﬁre - if heater or chimney connector glows, you are overﬁring. Stove thermometer recommended.

Operate only with the door closed. Open only to add fuel to the ﬁre. Operating with the door open can cause hot embers or sparks to fall out and a ﬁre may result.

INSTALLATION MATERIALS NEEDED FOR SAFETY

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (also known as ﬂue pipe or stove

pipe): The chimney connector joins the stove to the chimney (see page 11). It must be 6” (152mm) minimum diameter 24 MSG black or blued steel, or an approved air-insulated double wall venting pipe.

THIMBLE: A manufactured or site-constructed device installed in combustible walls through which the chimney connector passes to the chimney (see pages 12-13). It is intended to keep the walls from igniting.

CHIMNEY SYSTEMS

A. APPROVED MASONRY (see speciﬁcations on page 11)

with at least 5/8” (16mm) ﬁre clay lining joined with refractory cement or other listed system suitable for use with wood stoves.

B. PREFABRICATED 6" (152mm) listed high temperature (UL

103 HT or ULC S629M) chimney. Components required by manufacturers for installation such as the chimney support base, firestop (as appropriate), attic insulation shield, insulated tee, etc., are necessary to assure a safe chimney installation. Use only components manufactured for the chimney. Chimney installation should meet NFPA 211 standards.

FIRE SAFETY: To provide reasonable ﬁre safety, the following should be given serious consideration:

1. Install at least one smoke detector on each ﬂoor 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 ﬁre as follows:

In the event of a chimney ﬁre:

A. Notify ﬁre department B. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation. C. Close all openings into the stove. D. While awaiting fire department, watch for ignition of

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

VENTING SYSTEM

The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney. These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed 2000 ﬁre. To protect against the possibility of a house ﬁre, 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.

This stove may be connected to a lined masonry chimney or a listed high temperature prefabricated approved metal chimney. Do not connect it to a chimney serving another appliance. To do so will affect the safe operation of both appliances.

LOCATING YOUR STOVE

WHEN LOCATING YOUR STOVE consider safety, convenience, trafﬁc ﬂow, and the fact that the stove will need a chimney

and chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and ﬂoor protection, before actually beginning the installation. If you’re not using an existing chimney, place the stove where there will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.

AVOID FIRE: Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the designated air space clearance around the chimney. This space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE: Clearances

may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

WE RECOMMEND plans before and after installation.

Single Wall: Six inch (6”) (152mm) diameter, minimum 24 MSG black or blued steel connector pipe, with a listed factory-built

chimney type UL103 HT* suitable for use with solid fuels, or a masonry chimney, and the referenced clearances.

Double Wall/Mobile Home: Six inch (6”) (152mm) diameter, listed double wall air insulated connector pipe with listed factory-built UL103 HT* Class “A” chimney, or a masonry chimney (Mobile Home must be equipped with a spark arrestor), and the referenced clearances. Use only double-wall connector pipe, Dura-Vent DVL, Selkirk metalbestos DS or Security DL double wall connector.

FLOOR PROTECTION

FLOOR PROTECTION: Floor protector must be noncombustible material, extending beneath heater and to the

front/sides/rear as indicated. The ﬂoor must be non-combustible or otherwise adequately protected from radiant heat given off by the unit and from sparks and falling embers. A layer of thin brick or ceramic tile over a combustible ﬂoor is not sufﬁcient. A listed hearth pad that has a “k” value of .84 or lower meets this requirement.

In USA installations, it is necessary to install a ﬂoor protector of 1/2" thick metal clad millboard (“k” value = .84) or equivalent at least 16" in front of glass door and 8" to both sides of the fuel loading door. Open the door and measure 8” from the side edge of the opening in the face of the stove. See *exception below.

See Alternate Materials Worksheet on

In Canada, similar ﬂoor protection must be provided 18" (457mm) in front and 8" (203mm) from the sides and rear of the stove. See *exception below.

*EXCEPTION: Non-combustile ﬂoor protection must extend beneath the ﬂue pipe when installed with horizontal venting and extend 2” (51mm) beyond each side.

NOTE: Drawings are for illustration purposes only and are not to scale.

FLOOR PROTECTION (Cont’d)

ALTERNATE MATERIALS WORKSHEET

How to determine if alternate ﬂoor protection materials are acceptable:

All ﬂoor protection must be non-combustible (i.e., metals, brick, stone, mineral ﬁber boards, etc.). Any organic materials (i.e., plastics, wood paper products, etc.) are combustible and must not be used. The ﬂoor protection speciﬁed includes some form of thermal designation such as R-value (thermal resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).

PROCEDURE:

1. Convert speciﬁcation to R-value:

R-value given - no conversion needed.

k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:

K-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:

r-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R = r x T

2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate ﬂoor protector. i. Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”. ii. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine overall R-value.

3. If the overall R-value of the system is greater than the R-value of the speciﬁed ﬂoor protector, the alternate is acceptable.

EXAMPLE: The speciﬁed ﬂoor protector should be 3/4 inch thick material with a k-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is

4” brick with an r-factor of 0.2 over 1/8” mineral board with a k-factor of 0.29.

Step (a): Use formula above to convert speciﬁcation to R-value.

Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system.

Step (c): Compare proposed system R than required, the system is acceptable.

2-10-3 RULE

CHIMNEY HEIGHT/DRAFT

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

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

Your Quadra-Fire stove was designed for and tested on a 6” (152mm) chimney, 12 ft.-14 ft. (360-420cm) high, (includes stove height) measured from the base of the stove. The further your stack height or diameter varies from this conﬁguration, the possibility of performance problems exists. In addition, exterior conditions such as roof line, surrounding trees, prevailing winds and nearby hills can inﬂuence stove performance. Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and can usually make suggestions or discover solutions that will easily correct your ﬂue problem, allowing your woodstove and its ﬂue system to operate correctly and provide safe and economical heat for your home.

A masonry chimney or a listed factory-built UL103 HT Class “A” chimney must be the required height above the roof and any other nearby obstructions. The chimney must be at least 3 ft. (91cm) higher than the highest point where it passes through the roof and at least 2 ft. (61cm) higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10 ft. (305cm) of the chimney, measured horizontally. See 2-10-3 Rule below.

These are safety requirements and are not meant to assure proper ﬂue draft.

We recommend using a minimum total system height of 12 ft. (360cm), measured from the ﬂue collar to the top of the chim ney (not including chimney cap).

Availability of combustion air: A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combustion to take place. It is important to realize that whatever combustion air is consumed by the ﬁre must be replaced. If you are using room air, the air is replaced via air leakage that occurs around windows and under doors, etc. However, in most newly constructed houses, mobile homes, or even existing homes that are ﬁtted with tightly sealed doors and windows, the area from which the combustion air is taken is relatively air tight. In these cases, an outside air source must be made available to feed combustion air from outside the home into the stove. An Outside Air Kit is available for your stove as an option, Part 831-1780. The kit is a requirement for mobile home installations. Check with the local authorities in your area for the requirements in your location.

WARNING!

ALWAYS FOLLOW CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION.

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR IS TO BE USED ONLY WITHIN THE ROOM, BETWEEN THE STOVE AND CEILING OR WALL. THE CONNECTOR SHALL NOT PASS THROUGH AN ATTIC OR ROOF SPACE, CLOSET OR SIMILAR CONCEALED SPACE, OR A FLOOR, OR CEILING. MAINTAIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS REFERENCED ON PAGES 7, 8, 9, &10.
