Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety
• Convenience
• Trafc ow
• Chimney and chimney connector required
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using
exact measurements for clearances and 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 qualied 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.
children away while it is operating and do not let anyone
operate this appliance unless they are familiar with these
operating instructions.
Remember to always keep
CAUTION
B. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each 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 re extinguisher to
contend with small res resulting from burning embers.
3. A CO detector should be installed in the room with the
appliance.
4. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
5. A plan to deal with a chimney re as follows:
In the event of a chimney re:
a. Evacuate the house immediately
b. Notify re department.
C. Negative Pressure
WARNING
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state
and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, re ofcials
or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions,
installation inspection, and permits.

NOTICE: HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES ASSUMES
NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE IMPROPER
PERFORMANCE OF THE APPLIANCE SYSTEM
CAUSED BY:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Down drafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
• Over drafting caused by excessive chimney heights
• Ideal performance is with height of chimney between

the appliance.
WARNING

or system.
Asphyxiation Risk.
• Negative pressure can cause spillage
of combustion fumes, soot and carbon
monoxide.
• Appliance needs to draft properly for
safety.
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air
available for the appliance to operate properly. It can be
strongest in lower levels of the house.
Causes include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water
appliances and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air
conditioning
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
• Upper level air leaks such as:
- Recessed lighting
- Attic hatch
- Duct leaks

and benet.
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:
• Install optional outside air kit with the intake facing
prevailing winds during the heating season
• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all 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 a “sealed can” design
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and
seams taped or sealed
• Basement installations should be avoided
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.
• Modication 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 appliance).
• Do NOT Over re - If appliance or chimney connector
glows, you are over ring.
Any such action that may cause a re hazard.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Air Controls
1. Start-Up Air Control
The Start-Up Air Control has two primary functions. The
rst function is to activate the Automatic Combustion Control
system (ACC). This function is performed by sliding the con-
trol 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 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 6.1.
2. 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. 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 6.1.

Burn Rates
1. Starting a Fire and Reloading
Open both controls fully by raising the Burn Rate Air Control
all the way up until it stops and slide the Start-Up Air Control
back until it stops. After loading the stove with wood and
starting the re, set both controls to the desired setting by
following the burn rate instructions below.
2. High Burn Rate - Maximum Heat
Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until it stops
(top marker) to a fully open position. Slide the Start-Up Air
Control all the way back until it stops (HI marker) and leave it
there. This setting over-rides the timer system (ACC) so you
must monitor the re closely while in this setting.
3.
Medium-High Burn Rate
Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until it stops
(top marker) to a fully open position. Slide the Start-Up Air
Control all the way back until it stops (HI marker) and then pull
forward until it stops. This activates the timer system (ACC).
4.
Medium-Low Burn Rate
Raise the Burn Rate Air Control up to the bottom of the middle
marker and stop. Slide the Start-Up Air Control all the way
back until it stops (HI marker) and then pull forward until it
stops. This activates the timer system (ACC).
5. Low Burn Rate
Leave the Burn Rate Air Control at the bottom marker. Slide
the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it stops (HI
marker) and then pull forward until it stops. This activates
the timer system (ACC).
