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 or fire officials or authority having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection and
permit requirements in your area.

2) CAUTION: Never use gasoline or 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 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 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 chimney 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 open, without the firescreen, 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 without the legs attached (if supplied
with unit) will void your warranty, and could present a serious safety hazard

17) Do not oeprate with broken glass..

PRIOR TO FIRST FIRE: Remove all labels from glass. Clean plated surfaces with a glass cleanser and soft

cloth to prevent staining from fingerprint oils.

LISTINGS and SAFETY NOTICES

These installation instructions describe the installation and opera­tion of the QUADRA-FIRE ISLE ROYALE woodstove. This stove
meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 1990 particulate
emission standards. The stove is listed by OMNI-Test Laborato­ries, Inc. to UL Safety Standard 1482, and ULC S627, and (UM)
84-HUD., Report number 061-S-18-2. This stove 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 only use listed double-wall 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 build
ing 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 instal
lation, 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 unless using a firescreen. 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.

I

NSTALLATION MATERIALS NEEDED FOR YOUR SAFETY

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (also known as flue pipe or stove pipe):
The chimney connector joins the stove to the chimney (see page

10). It must be 6 inch (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 page 11-12). It is intended to keep the
walls from igniting.

CHIMNEY SYSTEMS

:

1. APPROVED MASONRY (see specifications on page 13) with
at least 5/8 inch (16mm) fire clay lining joined with refractory
cement or other listed system suitable for use with wood
stoves.

2. PREFABRICATED 6 inch (152mm) listed high temperature
(UL 103 HT or ULC S629) 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°F (1100°C) in the event of
a creosote 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.

WARNING! NEVER DRAW OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR FROM A
WALL, FLOOR OR CEILING CAVITY OR FROM ANY ENCLOSED
SPACE SUCH AS AN ATTIC OR GARAGE.

WARNING ! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS WOODSTOVE
WITHOUT READING AND UNDERSTANDING THESE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY. FAILURE TO OPERATE THIS
APPLIANCE PROPERLY MAY CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.

WARNING ! THE OUTSIDE SURFACES OF THIS UNIT WILL BECOME
EXTREMELY HOT DURING USE. ALWAYS KEEP CHILDREN AWAY
WHILE IT IS OPERATING AND DO NOT LET ANYONE OPERATE
THIS APPLIANCE UNLESS THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THESE
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS.

FLOOR PROTECTION

The floor must be non-combustible material, extending
beneath heater and to the front, sides and 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. See Alternate
floor protection calculation sample on page 8.

In USA installations, it is necessary to install a floor protector
of 1 inch ("k" value = .45) thick metal clad millboard or equiva
lent at least 16 inches in front and 8 inches to both sides of the
loading door. If Hearth Leg kit is used in rear vent installation,
floor protector must extend 18 inches (457mm) in front of the
fuel loading door opening. See *exception below.

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

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

LOCATING YOUR STOVE

WHEN LOCATING YOUR STOVE consider safety, conve-

nience, 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 combus
tibles. 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 that you have a qualified building inspec

tor and your insurance company representative review your
plans before and after installation.

Calculating Alternate Floor Protection

Material

Thermal Conductivity: k value

The k value indicates the amount of heat (in BTU’s) that will flow
in 1 hour through 1 square foot of a uniform material 1 inch thick
for each degree (F) of temperature difference from one side of
the material to the other. The LOWER the k factor means less
heat is being conducted through the non-combustible material
to the combustible material beneath it. The k value of a mate
rial must be equal or smaller then the required k value to be
acceptable.
(BTU) (inch)
(foot2 (hour) (oF)

Thermal Resistance: R value

The R value is a measure of a material’s resisteance to
heat transfer. R value is convenient when more than one
material is used since you can add the R values together,
whereas you can not do this for k value. The HIGHER the R
factor means less heat is being conducted through the non­combustible material to the combustible material beneath it.
The R value of a material must be equal or larger then the
required R value to be acceptable.

Converting k to R:

Divide 1 by k and multiply the results times the thickness in
inches of the material.

R = 1/k x inches of thickness

Converting R to k:

Divide the inches of thickness by R.

k = inches of thickness/R

Calculatons:

Example: Floor protection requires k value of 0.84 and 3/4 inch
thick.

Alternative material has a k value of 0.6 and is 3/4 inch thick.

Divide 0.6 by .75 = k value of 0.80. This k value is smaller than

0.84 and therefore is acceptable.

3. Turn vent to horizontal position. Inspect sealant to ensure
a leak free application.

4. Re-assemble in reverse order.

REAR FLUE DEFLECTOR COVER PLATE

This cover plate is used when the flue collar is turned for a
rear vent application.

Please note this cover plate will not

work with the Low-Profile Kit

1. After the flue collar has been reversed for a rear vent
installation, install the cover plate on the stove with the
two screws provided.

REVERSIBLE FLUE COLLAR

The flue collar is reversible for either a top or rear venting
installation. The unit is shipped with the flue collar in the top
vent position.

CONVERTING COLLAR FOR REAR VENT INSTALLATION

1. Remove 5 Phillips head screws from the rear shield, lift
shield up and set aside.

2. Remove bolts from each side of the flue transition (2
total). (Place your free hand in flue opening to locate
and retrieve nuts attached to bolts.)

2-10-3 RULE

CHIMNEY HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS / DRAFT

To be sure that your stove burns properly, the chimney draft
(static pressure) should be approximately -.04” water column
(W.C.) during a low burn and -.10” W.C. during a high burn,
measured 6 inches (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.

The stove was designed for and tested on a 6 inch (152mm)
chimney, 12 ft.-14 ft. (360-420cm) high, measured from the
base of the stove. The further your stack height or diameter
varies from this configuration, the possibility of performance
problems increases. In addition, exterior conditions such as
roof line, surrounding trees, prevailing winds and nearby hills
can influence stove performance.

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
chimney (not including chimney cap).

A proper amount of flue draft is required to assure the safe
and efficient operation of the this woodstove. Flue draft is
measured as negative pressure in the chimney. The amount
of negative pressure determines the strength of the draft.
This draft performs two important roles in the operation of
the woodstove. It draws the combustion air into the firebox,
and pulls the smoke out of the chimney.

Three factors work together as a system to create the flue
draft; 1) availability of combustion air; 2) heat generated
from the fire, and 3) diameter and height of the flue system..

Increasing or decreasing any one of them

will affect the

other two and thus change the amount of draft in the entire
system.

A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combustion
to take place. The combustion air enters the firebox below
the ash catcher and is directed to the upper front of the fire
box. These openings are regulated by the Primary Air Slide
Control and Start-up Air Control, (see page 17 for operation
of these controls). 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 as
an option, Part 831-1780. The kit is a requirement for mobile
home installations.

A specific volume of air, determined by the diameter and
height of the chimney connector and chimney, is contained
within the flue system. As heat from the fire enters the flue,
it warms this air causing it to rise. The air moving up the
flue draws smoke and more heated air from the fire with it,
thus establishing draft. The amount of draft depends on the
temperature of the heated air and the volume of air that is
contained in the flue system.

If the fire is difficult to start, and smoke spills out of the door,
or you find it hard to establish and maintain a moderately
high burn rate, then the flue draft is too low and corrective
measures must be taken.

If you still suspect you have a low draft problem, it may be
necessary to increase the volume of air in your flue system.
Since the diameter of your flue system is matched with the
size of the flue collar and should not be changed, the height
of the system will need to be increased. Add chimney a little
at a time until the draft improves, and ensure that the flue
collar and venting section are sealed.

Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and
can usually make suggestions or discover problems that will
easily correct your flue draft problem, allowing your wood
stove and its flue system to operate correctly and provide
safe and economical heat for your home.
