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.
3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
4. In the event of a chimney re:
a. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation
b. Notify re department
C. Overring
WARNING
Fire Risk
Do not over-re.
Over-ring may ignite creosote or will damage
the stove and chimney.
To prevent over-ring your stove, DO NOT:
• Use ammable liquids
• Overload with wood
• Burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber
• Permit too much air to the re
• Use of processed solid fuel re logs
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 stove 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 appli-
ances that exhibit evidence of over-ring. Evidence of
over-ring includes, but is not limited to:
• Warped air tube
• Deteriorated refractory brick retainers
• Deteriorated bafe and other interior components
D. Combustible/Non-combustible Materials
• Combustible Material
Material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed
paper, plant bers, plastics, or any material capable
of igniting and burning, whether ame-proofed or not,
plastered or unplastered.
• Non-combustible Material
Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are
those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, slate,
glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,
Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a
Vertical Tube Furnance at 750 oC and UL763 shall be
considered non-combustible materials.
• Non-combustible Sealant Material
Sealants which will not ignite and burn: Rutland, Inc.
Fireplace Mortar #63, Rutland 76R, Nuflex 304, GE
RTV106 or GE RTB116 (or equivalent).
E. Seasoned Wood
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
efcient 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.

F. 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 must be properly operated in order
to ensure that they perform the way they are designed to
perform.
NOTICE: Improper operation can turn 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 the appliance. The
rst stage of burning is called the kindling stage.
In this stage:
• Wood is heated to a temperature high enough to evapo-
rate the moisture present in all wood.
• 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
• Heat
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.
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 evaporating the
moisture out of wet, unseasoned wood, resulting in wasted
heat.
VOYAGEUR GRAND Wood Insert
2. Second Stage
In the secondary stage wood gives off ammable gases which
burn above the fuel with bright ames.
During this stage of burning:
• The ames must be maintained and not allowed to go out
to ensure the cleanest possible re.
• If the ames tend to go out, it is set too low for your burn-
ing 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 10.1 on page 10.
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 Con-
trols before reloading. This livens up the coalbed and
reduces excessive emissions (opacity/smoke).
• Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit ap-
pliance through opening.
• 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.
We need to learn to burn in the cleanest way possible allowing us to continue using our wood appliances for many
years to come.

To activate: Push back until it stops
and then pull forward until it stops
G. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC)
Typically, when you build a re, you open the air controls fully
and monitor the re to prevent it from going into an overre
situation and/or burning your wood up too quickly before you
shut down the air controls to the desired burn rate.
When using the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) system,
you do not have to continually monitor the re. Once you
set the ACC system it will control the re for you. Follow the
instructions below to learn how to operate your stove with
ease.
H. Air Controls
1. Start-Up Air Control
The function of the Start-Up Air Control is to activate the
Automatic Combustion Control system (ACC).
• Push the Start-Up Air Control all the way back until it stops
and then pull forward to the front of the appliance until it
stops. Figure 10.1.
• The air channel opens and allows air to enter the front of
the appliance for approximately 20-25 minutes.
• The air channel gradually shuts down until it is completely
closed at the end of the 20-25 minutes.
• The re is now controlled by the air supplied by the Burn
Rate Air Control. Figure 10.1.
• This function should be performed each time you reload
the appliance.
2. Burn Rate Air Control
• The 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 the
second, third and fourth combustion process.
• 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.
I. Burn Rates and Operating Efciency
For maximum operating efciency
1. Burn dry, well-seasoned wood.
2. Follow these burn rate instructions below and refer to

K. Building A Fire
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Keep combustible materials, gasoline
and other ammable vapors and liquids
clear of appliance.
• Do NOT store ammable materials in the appliance’s
vicinity.
• DO NOT USE GASOLINE, 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.
• Combustible materials may ignite.
Before lighting your rst re in the appliance:
1. Conrm the bafe and ceramic blanket are correctly
positioned. They should be even with the front tube and
resting on all tubes. See page 11.
2. Remove all labels from glass.
There are many ways to build a 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 rewood. Here is one method that works well:
1.
Open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Controls fully.
2. Place several wads of crushed paper on the rebox oor.
Heating the 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 ventilated and the ue unobstructed.
5. Light the paper in the appliance. NEVER light or rekindle
re with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter uid; the
results can be fatal.
6. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-length
logs 3 to 4 inches (76 - 102mm) in diameter. Be careful
not to smother the re. Stack the pieces of wood 1/2 to
1 inch apart (13-25mm); near enough to keep each other
hot, but far enough away from each other to allow air 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 reloading.
• This livens up the coal bed and reduces excessive emissions (opacity/smoke).
• Large logs burn slowly, holding a re longer.
• Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.
L. Fuel Reloading Instructions
1. This appliance has a large door with an exceptional
view of the re.
• Opens to about 90 degrees and has a built-in stop.
• Door opens 26 inches (660mm) which goes beyond
the standard size hearth pad covering the oor in
front of the appliance.
• May want to use a hearth rug in front of the hearth
pad to protect the ooring from ash spillage and
continuous cleaning of carpet, etc. See drawing
on page 32.
2. Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit
appliance through opening.
• Check the level of the ash build-up. Remove ash if it
reaches the top of the brick covers. Ash should not
be spilling over the brick covers onto the ashlip.
• Any ash on the ashlip can be pressed into the door
gasket and shorten the life of the gasket.
• If the ash is left to accumulate on the ashlip it can
interfere with the door closing and/or falling out onto
the hearth pad or beyond.
Check the ash level each time you reload.
NOTE:
• Build re on brick rebox oor only.
• Do NOT use grates or other methods to support fuel.
It will adversely affect emissions.
CAUTION
Odors and vapors released during initial operation.
• Curing of high temperature paint.
• Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

WARNING
Fire Risk.
• DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE
FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPTHA OR
ENGINE OIL.
• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START A
FIRE.
• 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.
Hardwood vs Softwood
Your appliance performance depends on the quality of the
rewood you use.
• Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per pound .
• Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.
• Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods.
• Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower and
are harder to ignite.
• Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are
easier to ignite.
• Start the re with softwood to bring the appliance up to
operating temperature and to establish draft.
• Add hardwood for slow, even heat and longer burn time.
Soft woods Hard woods
• Douglas Fir • Oak
• Pine • Maple
• Spruce • Apple
• Cedar • Birch
• Poplar
• Aspen
• Alder
Processed Solid Fuel Fire Logs
• NOT permitted for use in this appliance
Moisture
The majority of the problems appliance owners experience
are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.
• Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate the
water instead of heating your home, and
• Causes evaporating moisture which cools your chimney,
accelerating formation of creosote.
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.
Seasoned Wood
• Cut logs to size
• Split to 6 inches (152 mm) or less in diameter
• Air dry to a moisture content of not more than 20%
- Soft wood - about nine months to dry
- Hard wood - about eighteen months to dry
NOTICE: Seasoning time may vary depending on drying
conditions.
Storing Wood
Steps to ensure properly seasoned wood:
• Stack wood to allow air to circulate freely around and
through woodpile.
• Elevate wood pile off ground to allow air circulation
underneath.
• Smaller pieces of wood dry faster. Any piece over 6 in.
(152 mm) in diameter should be split.
• Wood (whole or split) should be stacked so both ends of
each piece are exposed to air. More drying occurs through
the cut ends than the sides.
• Store wood under cover to prevent water absorption
from rain or snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends
completely.

R. Opacity (Smoke)
Opacity 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).

Maintenance and Service
A. Disposal of Ashes
• Frequency: When ash reaches the top of the brick
covers (should not spill over covers). Leave 1/4 inch
(6mm) of ash in the bottom of the firebox.
• By: Homeowner
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashescouldcontainhotembers.
• Place ashes in a metal container with a tight-tting lid.
• The closed container should be placed on a noncombustible
oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending 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
B. Chimney and Chimney Connector
Inspection/Cleaning
• Frequency: Every 2 months during heating season or
as recommended by a certied chimney sweep; more
frequently if chimney exceeds or is under 14-16 feet (4.3
to 4.8m) measured from bottom of appliance.
• By: Certied chimney sweep
• Remove all ash from the rebox and extinguish all hot
embers before disposal.
• Allow the appliance to cool completely.
• If your type of installation involves a full reline of the
chimney, it will be necessary to either remove the bafe
from the insert, or remove the insert from the replace
and disconnect the vent prior to cleaning the chimney.
Refer to page 23 in this manual for instructions on Bafe
Removal.
• If your type of installation is direct connect within a masonry
chimney, the insert will need to be pulled out from the
replace and disconnected from the ue prior to cleaning
the chimney.
• The creosote or soot should be removed with a brush
specically designed for the type of chimney in use.
• Clean out fallen ashes from the rebox.
• It is also recommended that before each heating season
the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned
and repaired if necessary.
WARNING! Risk of Fire!

appliance.Itwillcorrodeyourpipe.
Creosote - 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 ue of a slow-burning re.
• As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue
lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely
hot re.
• The chimney and chimney connector shall be inspected
every two months during the heating season to determine
when a creosote buildup has occurred.
• When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney re.
C. Appliance Inspection - Routine
• Frequency: Every 2 months at the same time the chim-
ney and chimney connector are inspected.
• By: Homeowner
Check for:
• Cracks in glass
• Door handle - smooth cam operation
• Bafe and ceramic blanket correct placement
• Bafe for warpage
• Firebrick for cracks, broken or crumbly
• Door gasket. (Dollar bill test). Place a dollar bill between
the stove and the door and then shut the door. If you can
pull the dollar bill out, replace the door gasket.
• Glass frame for loose screws
D. Cleaning Plated Surfaces
• Frequency: As desired
• By: Homeowner
• Clean all the ngerprints and oils from plated surfaces
BEFORE ring the appliance for the rst time.
• If not cleaned properly before lighting your rst re, the
oils can cause permanent markings on the plating.
• After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the nish
and little maintenance is required.
• Wipe clean as needed.
CAUTION! Do not use polishes with abrasives. It will
scratchplatedsurfaces.
