Hearth & Home Technologies

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

Hearth & Home Technologies, on behalf of its hearth brands (“HHT”), extends the following warranty for HHT
gas, wood, pellet, coal and electric hearth appliances that are purchased from an HHT authorized dealer.

WARRANTY COVERAGE:

HHT warrants to the original owner of the HHT appliance at the site of installation, and to any transferee taking ownership

of the appliance at the site of installation within two years following the date of original purchase, that the HHT appliance

will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. After installation, if covered compo­nents manufactured by HHT are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period,

HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. HHT, at its own discretion, may fully discharge all of its
obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product
itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty
is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.

WARRANTY PERIOD:

Warranty coverage begins on the date of original purchase. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage

begins on the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent,
authorized HHT dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months
following the date of product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for
parts and labor for covered components is produced in the following table.

The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for

gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances. These
time periods reflect the minimum expected useful lives of the designated components under normal operating conditions.

• This warranty only covers HHT appliances that are purchased through an HHT authorized dealer or distributor. A list of
HHT authorized dealers is available on the HHT branded websites.

• This warranty is only valid while the HHT appliance remains at the site of original installation.

• This warranty is only valid in the country in which the HHT authorized dealer or distributor that sold the appliance
resides.

• Contact your installing dealer for warranty service. If the installing dealer is unable to provide necessary parts, contact

the nearest HHT authorized dealer or supplier. Additional service fees may apply if you are seeking warranty service

from a dealer other than the dealer from whom you originally purchased the product.

• Check with your dealer in advance for any costs to you when arranging a warranty call. Travel and shipping charges

for parts are not covered by this warranty.

This warranty is void if:

• The appliance has been over-fired or operated in atmospheres contaminated by chlorine, fluorine, or other damaging

chemicals. Over-firing can be identified by, but not limited to, warped plates or tubes, rust colored cast iron, bubbling,
cracking and discoloration of steel or enamel finishes.

• The appliance is subjected to prolonged periods of dampness or condensation.

• There is any damage to the appliance or other components due to water or weather damage which is the result of, but
not limited to, improper chimney or venting installation.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY:

• The owner’s exclusive remedy and HHT’s sole obligation under this warranty, under any other warranty, express or
implied, or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as specified above. In no
event will HHT be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in the appliance. Some states
do not allow exclusions or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific rights; you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state. EXCEPT TO
THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, HHT MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY
SPECIFIED HEREIN. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO DURATION OF THE
EXPRESSED WARRANTY SPECIFIED ABOVE.

WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS:

This warranty does not cover the following:

• Changes in surface finishes as a result of normal use. As a heating appliance, some changes in color of interior and
exterior surface finishes may occur. This is not a flaw and is not covered under warranty.

• Damage to printed, plated, or enameled surfaces caused by fingerprints, accidents, misuse, scratches, melted items,

• Repair or replacement of parts that are subject to normal wear and tear during the warranty period. These parts

include: paint, wood, pellet and coal gaskets, firebricks, grates, flame guides, batteries and the discoloration of glass.

• Expansion, contraction, or movement of certain parts causing noise. These conditions are normal and complaints
related to this noise are not covered by this warranty.

• Damages resulting from: (1) failure to install, operate, or maintain the appliance in accordance with the installation

instructions, operating instructions, and listing agent identification label furnished with the appliance; (2) failure to
install the appliance in accordance with local building codes; (3) shipping or improper handling; (4) improper opera­tion, abuse, misuse, continued operation with damaged, corroded or failed components, accident, or improperly/

installation or use of components not supplied with the appliance or any other components not expressly authorized
and approved by HHT; (8) modification of the appliance not expressly authorized and approved by HHT in writing;
and/or (9) interruptions or fluctuations of electrical power supply to the appliance.

• Non-HHT venting components, hearth components or other accessories used in conjunction with the appliance.

• Any part of a pre-existing fireplace system in which an insert or a decorative gas appliance is installed.

• HHT’s obligation under this warranty does not extend to the appliance’s capability to heat the desired space. Informa­tion is provided to assist the consumer and the dealer in selecting the proper appliance for the application. Consider­ation must be given to appliance location and configuration, environmental conditions, insulation and air tightness of
the structure.

A. Over-Firing Your Appliance

WARNING

Fire Risk

Do not over-re.
Over-ring may ignite creosote or will damage the

appliance and chimney.

To prevent over-ring your appliance, DO NOT:

• Use ammable liquids

• Overload with wood

• Burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber

• Permit too much air to the re

1. Symptoms of Over-Firing

Symptoms of over-ring may include one or more of the
following:

• Chimney connector or appliance glowing

• Roaring, rumbling noises

• Loud cracking or banging sounds

• Metal warping

• Chimney re

2. What To Do if Your Appliance is Over-Firing

• Immediately close the door and air controls to reduce

air supply to the re.

• If you suspect a chimney re, call the re department

and evacuate your house.

• Contact your local chimney professional and have your
appliance and appliance pipe inspected for any dam­age.

• Do not use your appliance until the chimney profes­sional informs you it is safe to do so.

Hearth & Home Technologies WILL NOT warranty applianc­es that exhibit evidence of over-ring. Evidence of over-r­ing includes, but is not limited to:

• Warped air tube

• Deteriorated refractory brick retainers

• Deteriorated bafe and other interior components

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 efcient 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 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 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.

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 wood appliances that surpass the require­ments for emissions established by our governing agencies.

These wood appliances, 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 appliance 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 appliance. The 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

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 re should be
warming your home and establishing the ue draft, not evap-

orating the moisture out of wet, unseasoned wood, resulting
in wasted heat.

2. Second Stage

The next stage of burning, the secondary stage, is the period

when the wood gives off ammable gases which burn above
the fuel with bright ames. During this stage of burning it is

to go out. This will ensure the cleanest possible re. If the
ames tend to go out, it is set too low for your burning condi-

tions. 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 9.1

3. Final Stage

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

when the 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 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 coal bed 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 appliances in the cleanest
way possible. Doing this will allow us to continue using our
wood appliances for many years to come.

2. Maximize Heat with The ACC System

To maximize heat output with the ACC timer System or also

known as high burn push the ACC Air Control lever towards
the back of the appliance and leave. This combined with

having the main burn rate control lever pushed up to the
high position will deliver the most amount of air needed to
achieve the highest amount of heat output. Figure 9.1

3. Manual Timer Over-Ride

If you need to shut the ACC system off before it goes through
the cycle of shutting itself off; 25 minutes, reach towards the

back of the appliance on the right side and pull the lever

towards the front of the appliance. Figure 9.2

CAUTION

Injury Risk.

• Gloves recommended

D. Air Controls

Users will need to nd their preferred setting between high and
low based on desired heat output, installation conguration,

and fuel type.

1. Burn Rate Air Control

This air supply enters at the upper front of the 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. When the control is

moved all the way up it is on the High setting and when moved
all the way down it is on the Low setting. Figure 9.1

2. Automatic Combustion Control System (ACC)

To engage the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) timer

system push the lever towards the back of the appliance to

the “HI” position, then pull towards the front of the appliance

until the knob stops. The timer will slowly close in about

25 minutes. Use this feature when reloading fuel or if you

want more air supplied to the re. Figure 9.3

E. Using Burn Rate Air Control & ACC System

1. Start up and Reloading Fuel

Open both Burn Rate Air Control and ACC systems fully. To
do this with the Burn Rate Air Control push spring handle
up to high. For the ACC timer system push knob towards
back of appliance until the knob is located under the high

position. Figure 9.1
