WARNING

Never leave your ﬁreplace unattended while it is burning.

WARNING

To avoid the risk of damaging ﬁreplace materials and increasing the risk of ﬁre, do not use the ﬁreplace to cook or warm food.

WARNING

Use care when selecting window treatments for windows located near the ﬁreplace. Avoid using combustible flowing window treatments such as curtains on nearby windows that are of sufﬁcient length to be blown in front of an open ﬂame when the window is opened. Keep any combustible furniture, materials or decorative pillows at least 48" (1219 mm) from the front ﬁreplace opening.

WARNING

Never modify or alter your ﬁreplace system in any way. To do so may create a potential ﬁre hazard and void the limited warranty, listings and approvals of this system.

IMPORTANT

When burning wood, use SOLID NATURAL DRY WELL-SEASONED WOOD ONLY. Hardwoods are recommended (soft woods tend to burn very quickly).

• DO NOT burn treated wood,

charcoal, coal, trash, cardboard, driftwood, woods dipped in tar, Christmas tree greens, pitch, pine tar, creosote, chemical chimney cleaners, ﬂame colorants, polystyrene packaging, wood products with synthetic binders (i.e. plywood). Plywood, lumber and other misc. materials can produce abnormally high temperatures, sputtering and smoking ﬁres and may contain hazardous chemicals to treat insects and fungus.

• Burning unapproved fuels can

produce excessive temperatures, beyond the design capabilities of the ﬁreplace and may produce excess sparks or may contain hazardous chemicals. Burning unapproved fuels can result in a chimney fire, a house fire, personal injury, death or loss of property.

WARNING

Never leave children unattended when there is a ﬁre burning in the ﬁreplace.

WARNING

Always ensure that the air inlet to the ﬁreplace is free from debris and any other obstructions that can block the entrance of air.

OPERATING THE FIREPLACE

Fuel - USE SOLID NATURAL WOOD FUEL

ONLY.

This appliance is designed to burn dry seasoned natural wood only (see Page 6 for a list of prohibited fuels). Failure to burn proper fuels only will void the cert

the warranty of the appliance. Hardwoods are

preferred to softwoods since the energy content of wood is relative to its density. Hardwoods will result in a longer burning ﬁre and less frequent refueling. A moisture content of 15% to 20% (seasoned) is recommended. Wood that has been cut and split and let to dry under a cover for a period of one year will usually meet that criteria. The required drying time will vary depending on the climate. Wood that is packed tight together will take longer to dry. Seasoned wood is darker in color than wet wood and will have visible cracks in the grain on the ends. Excessively wet wood will be difﬁcult to burn and will result in lower efﬁciency, increased creosoting and deposits on the glass and in the chimney. Excessively dry wood will burn well but will also have higher emissions and shorter burning time.

iﬁcation and

DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER

Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design speciﬁcations can result in permanent damage to the heater.

First Fires

Before using the ﬁreplace make sure to remove the plastic wrapping and EPA label on door. Remove any glue residue left by the label using mild soap.

The ﬁrst ﬁve or six ﬁres should be small ﬁres of short duration (about 30 to 60 minutes).

This will help cure the refractory bricks. During the ﬁrst few ﬁres of this appliance there may be some odor and smoke due to the curing of the paint, dust accumulation and burning off of lubricants used in the manufacturing process. It may set off a smoke alarm located in the same room. For this reason the room should be well ventilated for the ﬁrst few ﬁres.

WARNING

Be careful adding wood fuel to the ﬁre or handling ﬁreplace tools such as shovels, tongs or pokers.

WARNING

The bottom refractory can be cracked by excessive abuse such as tossing heavy logs onto the grate or gouging with ﬁreplace tools. Exercise caution when adding wood to your ﬁreplace.

Building a Fire (starting and maintaining a ﬁre)

To start a ﬁre, place several crumpled up balls of newspaper in the ﬁrebox. Place small dry pieces of kindling on top of the paper, criss-crossing the kindling so that there are air spaces in between. Keep the fuel far back enough so that air can get underneath. Open the air controls fully and light the newspaper. Once the newspaper and the kindling is well ignited, close the door. Once the kindling ﬁre is well established, cord wood can be added (see Primary Air Combustion Control section for proper operation of the air controls).

The unit will burn best with 2-3 pieces of cord wood spaced 1 to 2 inches apart and allowing air to get under the fuel. Criss-crossing or arranging the fuel so that air can get underneath, will help the ﬁre to get started easily. The unit should be operated with the air control fully open long enough to get the cord wood well ignited.

COMBUSTION CONTROLS

Primary Air and Air Boost Controls

There is no ﬂue damper in the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace. As is common with air tight stoves, the combustion air control sets the ﬂow of air entering the ﬁrebox. This allows for a more precise control of the ﬁre. The combustion air control is located below the door on the left side. The main source of air (primary air) entering the ﬁrebox can be diminished by moving the air combustion control from left to right. The primary air is fully opened when the air control is completely moved to the left. The air control device can also be used to add an extra boost of air especially during ﬁre start up and reloading of the unit. Pulling the air combustion control will induce an air boost at the base of the ﬁre allowing an easier ﬁre start up. When the ﬁre is well established, the control can be pushed in to shut down the air boost allowing for a longer burn time. The combustion air control should be in the closed position (primary air and air boost) when the ﬁreplace is not in use. This will minimize air leakage up the chimney. The combustion air control should be opened before opening the door to minimize the possibility of back draft coming into the room.

Accelerated Combustion

The maximum heat output for the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace is achieved by burning with the door closed and the combustion air opened and pulled out. By this method, the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace can produce up to 55,000 BTU of heat per hour. However, it will be necessary to reload with wood every one or two hours. This is the least efﬁcient method of burning the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace.

Use caution when ﬁring with the combustion air control wide open. Only burn cord wood in this manner. Small dry pieces of softwood and construction scraps will burn very intensely using this method and may damage the ﬁrebox.

Figure 1

Medium Combustion

This is the recommended mode of operating the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace and should be the one normally used since it will deposit the least amount of creosote on the glass and in the chimney. The combustion air control must be 3/4 closed and pushed in to close the air boost

(Figure 1). The precise setting will depend on

many factors, including chimney length and the moisture content of the wood.

For instance, a long chimney will necessitate closing the damper more. To obtain the proper combustion, close the damper completely, then open it about 1/4” to 1/2”. Three medium size pieces of wood should be burning on a bed of hot coals. The heat output will be approximately 30,000 BTU per hour and the loading time will be about every 3-4 hours. Softwoods may be burned using this method but the time will be substantially reduced.

Slow Combustion

When the air combustion control is completely closed, the ﬁreplace is in a slow combustion phase. If the hearth is hot enough, slow combustion will not extinguish the ﬁre, but there will be a noticeable change in the ﬂame pattern. The ﬂames will be slow and may appear dirty if the wood is too wet (moisture content of 20% and more). Do not allow the wood to burn without ﬂame, since this will produce excessive creosote in the unit.

Creosote may accumulate on the glass door. This method of burning should be used only after operating the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace with the air control opened hot ﬁre for about an hour or at medium pace for at least three (3) hours. Slow combustion can be used at night in order to reduce the heat output and to prolong the burn. The loading time will be between 6-8 hours.

(Figure 1) to produce a

REFUELING FOR BEST PERFORMANCE

The WCT4820WS ﬁreplace will operate best if attention is given to operating the unit with the damper fully opened in order to bring the ﬁrebox and the chimney system up to their optimum operating temperature. Combustion efﬁciency is relative to ﬁrebox temperature. A temperature of 500º C (932º F) and up, with a visible ﬂame, in the upper part of the ﬁrebox indicates a maximum efﬁciency. To obtain this temperature, the ﬁreplace must be operated with the primary air and air boost controls fully opened during 10 to 20 minutes after reloading, depending on the heat and on the moisture content of the wood.

Once you have reached the desired temperature, the air boost can be closed and the primary air set to a medium setting. You know you have reached the desired temperature when, closing the primary air control, you can see a ﬂame at the top of the ﬁrebox. The beneﬁt of this technique will be cleaner glass, less creosoting, greater efﬁciency and the most pleasing ﬁre for your enjoyment. If your ﬁreplace is equipped with a forced air system, make sure the central blower is turned off during reloading to avoid smoking problems.

(Figure 1) after refueling

SMOKING – CAUSES AND TROUBLESHOOTING

To reduce the likelihood of smoking when opening the door, set the combustion air controls to the left before opening the door. Your ﬁreplace has been designed and tested to provide smoke free operation. Occasionally, there may be a small amount of smoking upon lighting the ﬁre, until the chimney heats up but this should not continue. If the ﬁreplace continues to smoke it is probably for one of the following reasons:

A. Negative pressure in the house

As the ﬁre burns, air goes up the chimney.

This air must be replaced through leakage into the house or through the outside air duct. When operating the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace, open a nearby window temporarily to check if there is adequate replacement air supply.

B. Blowers operating (e.g.: range hood) -

These blowers draw air out of the house and may actually cause a negative pressure in the house. Turn off all blowers and open a nearby window to determine if this is the cause of the problem.

C. Wet wood- Wet or tarred wood will smoulder

and smoke instead of burning properly.

dealer can help you determine if you have properly seasoned wood for burning.

D. Dirty or blocked chimney- Check to make

sure the chimney is clear and clean.

call a certiﬁed chimney sweep or use a properly sized chimney brush to clean.

Your

If dirty

E. Chimney not long enough- The minimum

chimney height is twelve (12) feet (3.7 m) not including the ﬁreplace height. The chimney must extend at least three (3) feet (915 mm) above its point of contact with the roof and at least two (2) feet (610 mm) higher than any roof or wall within ten (10) feet (3 m) of it. When installed with offsets, the minimum chimney height is ﬁfteen (15) feet. Additional height will increase draft and will decrease the tendency to smoke.

F. Poor chimney draft- With no ﬁre, there should

be sufﬁcient draft to exhaust cigarette smoke introduced under the bafﬂe. Chimneys installed against an outside wall without protection may generate back draft problems which will cause start-up problems. To prevent this, open a nearby window, roll up a piece of paper and light it. Then, hold it in the upper part of the ﬁrebox to warm up the chimney. Wait until the draft is sufﬁcient, then start the ﬁre.

G. Blower for forced air kit operating - Make

sure that the blower is in the “off” position when you open the ﬁreplace door for reloading.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

A. Do not block the hot air vents to the ﬁreplace

as this will cause the ﬁreplace to overheat.

B. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern

fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter ﬂuid, or similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a ﬁre in this ﬁreplace. Keep all such liquids well away from the ﬁreplace while it is in use.

C. Do not burn coal. The sulphur in coal will

corrode the ﬁrebox and chimney.

D. Do not burn driftwood which has been in the

ocean or salt water. The salt will corrode the ﬁrebox and chimney.

E. Do not burn wood in the area in front of the

grate.

F. Do not abuse the unit by burning paper, or

cardboard or construction material such as pressed wood, plywood or lumber. Wood protectors, metallic paper, coal, plastic, waste, sulphur and/or oil will damage the ﬁreplace.

G. Do not allow the wood to smoulder or burn

without ﬂame, since this will produce excessive creosote in the unit

increased particulate emissions.

as well as

Smoke Detectors Recommended

Since there are always several potential sources of ﬁre in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional false activation from the heat produced by these appliances). If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with your local building department for requirements in your area.

Carbon Monoxide Monitor Recommended

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of

carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the ﬂu with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others, including pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the inﬂuence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

It is against federal regulations to operate wood heaters in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in the manual.

MAINTAINING YOUR FIREPLACE

This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper operation. Consult the owner’s manual for further information. It is against federal regulations to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with the operating in this manual.

Have your product inspected at least once a year by a qualiﬁed service technician to ensure gaskets, air tubes, bafﬂes, and venting are in good repair to ensure proper performance. Have degraded items replaced by a qualiﬁed service technician.

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 ﬂue of a slow-burning ﬁre. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ﬂue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot ﬁre.

The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a year 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 ﬁre.

When the creosote accumulation is large, a creosote ﬁre in the chimney can damage the chimney and overheat the surrounding wood framing. Creosote formation in a chimney can be minimized by making sure there is always visible ﬂame burning, avoid smouldering ﬁres and by proper refuelling techniques.

Chimney Maintenance

Regular chimney inspection and maintenance combined with proper operation will prevent chimney ﬁres. Keep your chimney clean. Do not allow more than 1/16” (1.6 mm) creosote build up in your chimney. The amount of creosote will depend on variables such as frequency of use and type of ﬁre. We recommend that you:

A. Initially inspect the chimney system weekly.

From this, you will learn how often it will be necessary to clean your chimney.

B. Have your chimney cleaned by a qualiﬁed

chimney sweep. If you wish to clean it yourself, we recommend using a stiff plastic or non-metallic brush. If a metal brush is used, its size should be slightly smaller than the ﬂue to avoid damaging the chimney. Do not use a brush that will scratch the stainless steel interior of the chimney.

C. Do not expect chemical cleaners to keep

your chimney clean. The rain cap can be removed for inspection and/or cleaning of the chimney.

Top Bafﬂe Removal Prior to Cleaning The Chimney

Before starting to clean your chimney, we recommend that you remove the top bafﬂe to avoid creosote dust collection at the top of the bafﬂe. Follow these steps to set the top bafﬂe out of the way:

1. Remove the side refractory holder. They are

located at the top of the refractory.

2. Lift the front bafﬂe.

3. Slide the back bafﬂe under the front bafﬂe.

You now have access to the chimney.

Figure 2a - Top Bafﬂe Removal

Figure 2b - Top Bafﬂe Removal

Dealing With a Chimney Fire

Regular chimney maintenance and inspection can prevent chimney ﬁres. If you have a chimney ﬁre, follow these steps:

1. Close the ﬁreplace door and the combustion air controls.

2. Alert your family of the possible danger.

3. If you require assistance, alert your ﬁre department.

4. If possible, use a dry chemical ﬁre extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the ﬁre. Do not use water as it may cause a dangerous steam explosion.

5. Check outside to ensure that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting the roof.

6. Do not use the ﬁreplace again until your chimney and ﬁreplace have been inspected by a qualiﬁed chimney sweep or a Fire Department Inspector.

Achieving Clean Burns

Check the exhaust in about 15 to 20 minutes (see below). Large amounts of smoke indicate an improper burn setting (either too high or too low). Adjust and recheck in 5 to 10 minutes.

What does “Well-Seasoned” mean?

When a tree is cut down, the wood is green, full of sap and moisture. This moisture content can exceed 80%, which must be reduced to less than 20%. Wood properly seasoned is then capable of generating the heat the stove was designed to provide.

Green wood does not burn easily. Attempting to burn green wood often results in a lot of smoke and very little ﬁre. Time is the most important factor in seasoning wood. Ideally the moisture content should be reduced to 11-20%.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

NOTE: The use of a ﬁrewood moisture meter is recommended to ensure the ﬁrewood contains less than 20% moisture.

Seasoning Guide

Softwoods - 6 months to 18 months Hardwoods - 12 months to 24 months

Logs that are 5” diameter across or larger should be split in half, three pieces if over 8 inches, and four pieces when over a foot across. If a tree has been dead for 2 - 4 years it still needs to be cut, split, and seasoned for 6 to 24 months depending on the wood.

Burning unapproved fuel, resulting in excessive pollutants being emitted, may be prohibited and subject to a ﬁne or other penalty by the authority having jurisdiction in your area.

Finish Door Casing Care

Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to polish the casing. Do not use abrasives such as steel wool, steel pads or an abrasive polish for they may scratch the casing’s ﬁnish.

Intense ﬁring with these

DISPOSING OF ASHES

WARNING

Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should be placed in a steel container with a tight ﬁtting lid and moved outdoors immediately. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible ﬂoor or on the ground well away from all combustible materials, pending ﬁnal 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.

Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your ﬁrebox, and when the ﬁre has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the ﬁrebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.

Remove ashes only when the ﬁre is out and the ashes are cold (24 to 48 hours after the ﬁre is out).

Do not leave the ashes in the house as they give off carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.

REFRACTORY REPLACEMENT

The intense heat of the ﬁre will normally cause hairline cracks in the refractory. These cracks can be minimized by proper curing as described in “First Fires”. They will not normally diminish the effectiveness of the refractory. If large cracks develop, then the refractory should be replaced. To replace the refractory bricks, follow these steps:

1. Remove the front refractories

2. Remove the bottom refractory

3. Remove the left side refractory

4. Remove the right side refractory

5. Remove the back refractory

6. Remove the front ceramic bafﬂe

7. Remove the rear ceramic bafﬂe To install the new refractories, follow the above steps in reverse.

DOOR INSTALLATION

The door must be installed only when the installation of the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace is completed. All you have to do is ﬁt the male part of the hinge, already on the door, to the female part, which is on the ﬁreplace.

To remove the door, simply pull the door up from the hinges.

The door adjustment has been set at the factory. If the ﬁt is still not perfect, you can adjust the door using the hinge screws.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT

The door may need to be adjusted to be completely airtight. The gaskets’ air-tightness can be adjusted using the adjustment screw located on the right side of the ﬁreplace facade (An Allen key #1/8 – not supplied - will be necessary for this adjustment).

Checking Door Seal - A one-inch strip of paper may be used to perform a test of the integrity of the door seal. Close the door on the paper in at least eight points. It is normal to feel only a slight amount of friction. The door gasket does not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is not hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your ﬁreplace.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

GLASS CARE

Glass Replacement

The glass used for the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace is a high temperature ceramic glass (1,400° F / 760° C). If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with an identical ceramic glass. Tempered glass or ordinary glass will not withstand the high temperatures of the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace. Replacement glass should be purchased from a IHP dealer (see “Replacement Parts”, Page 25).

DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS.

Glass Cleaning

The WCT4820WS ﬁreplace is designed to keep the glass clean under normal operating conditions. If the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace is operated continuously with the combustion air controls closed, the glass will tend to get dirty unless the fuel, ﬁrebox and glass are maintained at hot temperatures (see “Refueling For Best Performance”). To clean the glass, there are a number of specially designed cleaners. Your IHP dealer can recommend a suitable cleaner which is available in your area. Regular household glass cleaners will not clean creosote. Do not

use abrasives such as steel pads, steel wool or oven cleaner as they will scratch the glass.

DO NOT USE CHEMICAL GLASS CLEANERS ON PAINTED SURFACES AS IT MAY CAUSE THE PAINT TO PEEL.

CAUTION : DO NOT ALLOW WINDOW CLEANER TO GET IN CONTACT WITH DOOR OR PAINT ON FACADE OR DOOR. ONCE CLOSED, CONTACT OF GLASS CLEANER WITH THE FIREPLACE FACADE CAN PROVOKE PAINT PEELING OFF.

Gasket Replacement

Remove the door from the unit (see Page 7) and lay it on a clean unabrasive surface. To replace the gasket, ﬁrst remove all of the old gasket and gasket cement. Make sure that the surface is totally clean before applying new cement (a high temperature silicone caulking rated at 500° F [260° C] is suitable) or adhesion problems may result. Apply gasket cement to the gasket channel and install the new gasket. This replacement part is available from your IHP dealer in the following dimensions:

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Locating The WCT4820WS Fireplace

The best location to install your ﬁreplace is determined by considering the location of windows, doors, and the trafﬁc ﬂow in the room where the ﬁreplace is located, allowing space in front of the unit for the hearth extension and the mantel, and taking into consideration the location of the hot air ducts (optional), outside air kit and chimney.

If possible, you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through the house without cutting ﬂoor or roof joists (see ﬁreplace dimensions Page 10).

Usually, no additional ﬂoor support is needed for the ﬁreplace. The adequacy of the ﬂoor can be checked by ﬁrst estimating the weight of the ﬁreplace system. Weights are given in the appendix. Note the ﬂoor construction and consult your local building code to determine if additional support is needed.

The WCT4820WS ﬁreplace may be installed directly on the ﬂoor or on a raised base (for proper guidelines, refer to “Hearth Extension Requirements”) and a minimum of 6’8” (2 m) measured from the base of the appliance to the ceiling is required.

When selecting the location, the chimney outlet position and the direction of the wind are important factor affecting the chimney performance. To allow a maximum draft and to reduce wind turbulence, the chimney must:

Framing, Facing And Mantel

The construction of the framing, facing, and mantel must be in accordance with the standards and the following illustrations (Figures

7, 8 and 9):

A. Frame the ﬁreplace using 2” x 3” or heavier

lumber.

B. WARNING: Combustible materials

cannot be used in the space directly above the ﬁreplace, except for the studs above the facade that support the facing and mantel. This area must remain empty for a height of 6’8” (2,032 mm) measured from the base of the appliance.

C. Frame the ﬁreplace with vertical studs at the

sides of the ﬁreplace running from ﬂoor to ceiling (see Figure 9). If combustible facing is to be used, position the studs back, from the front edge of the ﬁreplace (a space that is the thickness of the facing material, so that the facing can be installed ﬂush with the ﬁreplace facing). Frame headers between the vertical studs only as follows:

•

Place 2” x 3” or 2” x 4” headers, only along the upper part of the front, side and back faces (some codes may require a 2” x 6 ” on an outside bearing wall). Do not put wood or any combustible material within the area above the ﬁreplace except on the front facing.

•

Place headers only as required to support the facing and mantel.

D. WARNING: The ﬁreplace must not be in

contact with any insulation or loose ﬁlling material. Cover the insulation with Drywall panels around the ﬁreplace.

Fireplace

The crack between the ﬁreplace and the hearth extension must be sealed with a non-combustible material such as sand-cement grout.

Elevated Fireplaces

u Elevated ﬁreplace installations re-

quire a special “Z” Metal Safety Strips (ﬁeld provided), in place of the safety metal strip shown above. The safety strip should extend the full width of the ﬁreplace. When more than one safety strip is used they must overlap by a minimum of 1”. Hearth extension of an elevated ﬁreplace must respect the same minimal dimensions as a ﬁreplace installed directly on the ﬂoor

(Figure 8).

HOT AIR DUCTING INSTALLATION

The WCT4820WS ﬁreplace is approved for use with a Gravity Kit.

Gravity Kit

The gravity kit is designed for double hot air outlets and includes: (See Figures 14 and 15)

- 2 telescopic lengths 8” I.D.

- 2 90º elbows 8” I.D.

- 2 hot air outlet kits (grill and frames)

- 2 adaptors

See Gravity Kit Accessories on Page 22.

The only blower that can be used with the gravity kit is the UZY5.

The gravity kit allows you to block the upper louver of the ﬁreplace. To do so, follow the steps below:

a) Remove the upper louver from the ﬁre-

place.

b) Install the black panel (BWCF) making sure

that the insulation strip is installed inside.

c) The ﬁreplace facade can be covered with

non-combustible material (Figure 16).

WARNING: Both pipes of the double hot air outlet must be installed. Any other installation may cause ﬁre and void warranty.

Figure 14

For safe installation, the gravity kit must meet the following requirements:

Minimum height* 68” (1,727 mm) Maximum length See Figures 14 and 15

* The height of the louver must be measured from the base of the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace to the middle point of the louver.

To extend the double outlet system forward of the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace (not ﬂush), it will be necessary to purchase two adjustable lengths (H8951).

When installing the double outlet system, the hot air outlets can be installed in the same room as the ﬁreplace, or one or both of the outlets can be installed in adjacent or upper rooms. Installing the ducts at different elevations will tend to exhaust more heat out of the higher outlet (Figure 15).

The duct system must be installed respecting the following:

1. Remove the plates closing up the 8” dia. holes on top of the ﬁreplace. Then, cut the insulation in order to obtain two 8” dia. openings. Fix the adaptors on the ﬁreplace openings by turning clockwise (Figure 14).

2. Maintain at least a 2” (50 mm) clearance between the ducts and any combustible

material;therequiredholesizeis13”x13”

(330 mm x 330 mm).

Exception #1: For the grills, the fram-

ing can be 10-3/4” x 10-3/4” (275 mm x 275 mm) to provide the clearance as required by the integral spacers on the double outlet duct system.

3. The maximum number of elbows in a run of duct is two.

4. Maintain at least 6-1/2” (160 mm) clearance from the outlet grill framing to a combustible ceiling, side wall or mantel.

5. When traversing a combustible wall or ﬂoor, a ﬁrestop must be installed at the wall or ﬂoor penetration. The hole size must be 13” X 13” (330 mm x 330 mm).

6. Do not connect the hot air ducts to a central heating system. Malfunction of the heating system’s blower will cause the ﬁreplace to overheat. A furnace duct is only single wall and not double wall as is required for the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace hot air exhaust.

7. Use only IHP grills and components as described in this manual. Other grills or registers, for example, may be too restrictive and may overheat the ﬁreplace or ceiling.

8. Do not use insulated ﬂexible ducts as they will overheat.

9. Do not use tees or any other components than the ones speciﬁcally listed here.

10. Never allow the ducting to pitch down as hot air will be trapped creating a ﬁre hazard. Never route the ducting downwards.

11. The hot air outlet grills must be installed with the louvers pointing downwards in order to prevent overheating adjacent ceilings.

12. Always install the two outlet grills when using the double hot air outlet kit and blocking the upper louver of the ﬁreplace.

CENTRAL FORCED AIR KIT (NOT TESTED UNDER EPA CERTIFICATION)

The knock-outs provided on the back and on the sides of the WCT4820WS ﬁreplace allow the connection of insulated ﬂexible pipe which enables you to heat adjacent rooms up to 50 feet from the ﬁreplace.

The ducting system must be installed as described below:

A) Fix the adaptor at the back and/or the side

of the ﬁreplace by twist-locking the adaptor to the ﬁreplace. You can use more than one outlet on the ﬁreplace (Figure 17).

B) Attach the 5” ﬂexible pipe, using the collars

provided. Important: Make sure that the plastic wrapping around the ﬂexible pipe will not be in contact with the ﬁreplace.

C) Route the ﬂexible pipe to the chosen location.

The ducting system can be installed either in an upper room or in a lower room.

D) Attach the ﬂexible pipe to the fan, using the

collars (Figure 18).

E) Fix the back draft damper to the fan outlet. F) Attach a ﬂexible pipe to the fan / ﬂexible pipe

adapter (square to round) and stretch it up to the location where the heat is required.

G) At that point, the ﬂexible pipe can be attached

to any air distribution grill. It is possible to connect a ﬂexible pipe to a central heating system. Make sure the pipe will be connected to the warm air supply duct, not to the return air duct (Figure 19).

H) Install the blower heating and cooling ther-

mostat (HCTW) in that part of the house to be heated by the hot air duct. The thermostat can be switched to a cooling thermostat and installed in the same room as the unit. This thermostat will turn on the blower when the room where the ﬁreplace is located

becomes too hot. This option requires electricity. Make sure that the connections to the fan have been made according to the local codes and comply with their requirements (see instruction provided with the thermostat).

OUTSIDE AIR KIT - REQUIRED

During operation, the ﬁreplace requires fresh air for combustion and draws air out of the house. It may starve other fuel burning appliances such as gas or oil furnaces. As well, exhaust blowers may compete for air, causing negative pressure in the house, resulting in smoke entering the house from the ﬁreplace. This situation is aggravated in modern airtight houses. To overcome this problem, we strongly recommend that you install an outside air assembly. Check with local authorities having jurisdiction in your area, it may be mandatory.

NOTE: Should you decide not to install the outside air assembly, proceed as follows:

- Remove the bottom grill. The air box is located on front left and is on a slant.

- Unscrew the four screws holding the inside air box covering plate and remove it.

Outside Air Installation

The outside air assembly may be installed according to the following requirements:

A) Duct length should be kept to a minimum. The maximum length of

duct is twenty (20) feet (6.1 m) for a 4 in. dia. pipe (See note below).

B) The air intake register must not be installed more than ten (10) feet

(3050 mm) above the base of the ﬁreplace.

C) The fresh air must come from outside the house. The air intake must

not draw air from the attic, from the basement or garage.

D) The air intake should be installed where it is not likely to be blocked by

snow or exposed to extreme wind and away from automobile exhaust fumes, gas meters and other vents.

E) The duct and register may be installed above or below ﬂoor level.

Make a 4-1/4” (110 mm) hole in the outside wall of the house at the chosen location. From outside, place the outside air register in the hole (open side down) and fasten the register to the wall, with screws as shown (see Figure 19). Slip the pipe into the insulated sleeve. Place the insulated pipe over the register tube and over the ﬁreplace’s outside air connector (see Figure 20). At each end, carefully pull back the insulation and plastic cover exposing the ﬂexible pipe. Using the aluminium tape provided, wrap the tape around the joint between the ﬂexible pipe and the air inlets. Carefully push the insulation and plastic cover back over the pipe. Using aluminium tape, fasten the plastic cover in place.

NOTE: We recommend not to exceed 20 feet of 4” ﬂexible pipe. If you

require a longer length we recommend that you use a 5” diameter ﬂexible pipe for the complete run up to 30 feet and a 6” diameter pipe for a run of up to 40 feet.

THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM

Chimney Installation Notes

1. Always install an interior chimney as it will provide better performance. In areas with continuous temperatures below - 18° C (0° F), the use of an exterior chimney increases the likelihood of operating problems such as low draft, high rate of creosoting, and poor start-up characteristics. Exterior chimneys are also prone to down drafting and ﬂow reversal. Installations, which are located on lower ﬂoors in the house, such as in a basement, in combination with outside chimney, are especially prone to ﬂow reversal. If interior installation is impossible, install an AC chimney enclosed in an insulated chase.

2. The ﬁreplace model WCT4820WS may be installed only with Security Chimneys International Ltd 6” diameter chimney systems.

9. Cut and frame square holes in all ﬂoors, ceilings, and roof that the chimney will go through to provide a 2” (50 mm) clearance between the chimney and any combustible materials. Do not ﬁll this 2” space with insulation or any other combustible material.

10. Portions of the chimney which may extend through accessible spaces must be enclosed to avoid contact with combustible materials or damage to the chimney.

11.When offsets are used, the pipe may not penetrate a ceiling or ﬂoor unless it is running vertical (no 30° offsets).

3. A chimney venting a ﬁreplace shall not vent any other appliance.

4. The minimum chimney height is 12 feet (3.7 m). In altitude, add 18” (450 mm) to the chimney for every 2,000 feet (600 m) above sea level.

5. All chimney installations must include at least one support. The maximum length of chimney that can be supported by the ﬁreplace is 26 feet (8 m).

6. The chimney must extend at least three (3) feet (915 mm) above its point of contact with the roof and at least two (2) feet (610 mm) higher than any wall, roof or building within ten (10) feet (3m) of it (Figure

21).

7. If the chimney extends higher than ﬁve (5) feet (1,500 mm) above its point of contact with the roof, it must be secured using a roof brace.

8. A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney. Failure to install a rain cap may cause corrosion problems.

NOTE: 2" clearance to combustibles around chimney components required.

NOTE: Blown or ﬁll type insulation materials must not be in contact with

the ﬁreplace or in the enclosure frame as described in ‘’Enclosure’’ section.

NOTE: Local codes may not require ﬁrestopping at the ceiling levels for outside chase installations. However, it is recommended for safety and the reduction of heat loss.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut and frame the holes in the ceiling, ﬂoor and roof where the chimney will pass (see Figure 22). Use a plumb-bob to line up the center of the holes. The sizes are indicated in Table 2 for the ﬂoor and ceiling holes and Table 3 (Page 17) for the roof holes.

2. From below, install a ﬁrestop in each ceiling/ ﬂoor separation through which the chimney will pass. At the attic level, install an attic radiation shield from above (Figures 23a through 23d).

3. For ASHT / HT6103+ AND S2100+ / HT6000+ chimneys place the ﬁrst chimney length on the ﬁreplace. To lock it in place, turn 1/4 of a turn clockwise. With the AC chimney, you must use a starter section

or AC6SB30

(H3780*),

, AC6SB* (H3779*)

before installing the

ﬁrst chimney length (Figure 24). Continue installing chimney lengths making sure to lock each length in place.

4. Every time the chimney passes through a ceiling or a wall, install the appropriate ﬁrestop. When you reach the desired height, install the roof support. When installing a support, slightly lift the chimney system so the weight will lie on the support, not on the ﬁreplace to reduce expansion noises (Refer to instructions included with the support).

5. Then, put the roof ﬂashing in place and seal the joint between the roof and the ﬂashing with rooﬁng pitch (see Figures 24 and 25). For sloping roofs, place the ﬂashing under the upper and on top of the lower shingles. Nail the ﬂashing to the roof, using rooﬁng nails.

6. Place the spacers and the storm collar over the ﬂashing, and tighten it with the bolt supplied. Finally, seal the joint between the storm collar and the chimney, using silicone caulking.

7. Install the chimney cap. Once the chimney cap is in place, the roof ﬂashing can be washed with a solvent or vinegar and then painted with rust-proof paint.

direction. Fasten it to the chimney with the three (3) 1/2” (12 mm) metal screws provided with the elbow.

2. Install the necessary chimney lengths to achieve the required offset. Lock the chimney lengths together: it is recommended to use three (3) 1/2” (12 mm) screws. If the offset length is made of two (2) chimney lengths or more, use an offset or roof support halfway up the offset. If penetrating a wall, install a wall radiation shield (see Figures 28 and

30).

3. Use another elbow to turn the chimney vertically. Secure the elbow, using three (3) 1/2” (12 mm) screws (provided with the elbow).

4. Use a plumb-bob to line up the center of the hole. Cut a hole for the chimney in the ceiling/ﬂoor. Frame this hole as described previously (refer to section Chimney Instal- lation Instructions).

5. From below, install a ﬁrestop (See Figure

23a).

6. A support (ST* or SO+*) must be used on the ﬁrst 15’ section (5 m).

7. Continue with the regular installation.

AC Chimney

1. Install the ﬁrst elbow. Turn it in the required direction. To lock it in place, turn 1/8 of a turn. Fasten the straps attached to the elbow to the surrounding frame, using nails or drywall screws (Figure 28).

2. Install the necessary chimney lengths to achieve the required offset. Lock the chimney lengths together. If penetrating a wall, use a wall radiation shield.

3. Use another elbow to turn the chimney vertically. Lock it to the chimney. Fasten the straps attached to the elbow to the surrounding framing using nails or drywall screws.

4. Use a plumb-bob to line up the center of the hole. Cut a hole for the chimney in the ceiling. Frame this hole as described previously.

5. From below, install a ﬁrestop (see Figure 23c).

6. Continue with the regular installation.

NOTE: When using AC chimney, an AC6SB* (H3779*) starter section must be used before installing an elbow. When an offset is needed immediately off the top of the ﬁreplace, an elbow starter section, AC6SB30* (H3780*), is available.

ANGLED WALL RADIATION SHIELD

(RSM+ and RSMI30)

When traversing a combustible wall with the chimney at a 30º or 45º angle, an angled ﬁrestop or wall radiation shield must be installed. Only one is required.

NOTE: 45º angle for Canada only (RSMI45

)

In cold climate locations (climates where temperatures will fall below 32° F / 0° C), we recommend that you use the insulated wall radiation shield since it will maintain the home’s thermal barrier.

CHIMNEY SUPPORT INSTALLATION

Universal Roof Support

When installing a support, slightly lift the chimney system so the weight will lie on the support, not on the ﬁreplace to reduce expansion noises. This support has three possible uses:

1. For ASHT / HT6103+ and S2100+ / HT6000+, it must be used on a roof to support the chimney*.

2. It may be used on a ﬂoor, ceiling or roof above an offset to support the chimney above the offset.

3. It may be used on a ﬂoor, ceiling or roof as a supplementary support.

Table 6 gives maximum height of supported chimney.

NOTE: For the AC chimney*, a support section must be used every 40

feet (12 m) instead of the universal roof support (ST*).

For roof support installation, refer to the instructions provided with the support.

Universal Offset Support

This support is used to support the chimney above an offset. When the chimney offset is used to traverse a wall this support may be used on the wall to support the chimney. The maximum heights are given in Table 6. For offset support installation, refer to the instructions provided with the support.

CHIMNEY ADAPTOR* (S2100+ / HT6000+) CANADA ONLY

The ﬁreplace is normally supplied with a chimney adaptor suitable for the ASHT / HT6103+ chimney*. If you want to install a S2100+ / HT6000+ chimney, an adaptor is available (6UCA*) (Figure 32). A separate starter section will also be required if AC chimney* is installed.

Chimney Adaptor* Canada only

CHIMNEY CHASE AND MULTIPLE TERMINATIONS

For the purpose of this manual, a chimney chase is considered a part of the chimney system rather than part of a building. The termination must be placed a minimum of 18” (460 mm) above the chase.

For installations where more than one chimney is located in the same chase or within the same area, we suggest that their terminations be separated by at least 16” (410 mm) horizontally, and 18” (460 mm) vertically. This separation is to prevent smoke migrating from one chimney to another (see Figure 31).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MASONRY APPLICATION

WARNING: Before starting the installation, the masonry chimney must be inspected by a qualiﬁed chimney sweep.

The following requirements must be respected:

1. The chimney must be absolutely clear of any soot residue or creosote. Check for cracks, loose or missing bricks that could inhibit correct installation of the liner.

2. The clearance to combustible must be a minimum of 1” between the outside of the masonry and any wood framing or loose insulation.

3. The chimney must be built in accordance with the current building code.

4. No other appliance can be connected to the same chimney.

5. The clearances to combustible for the BISUMA30 on the side and bottom and 16” at the top.

6. The connector parts are not necessary if the connection between

the insulated length and the stainless steel liner is done within the masonry chimney.

Installation:

The chimney must be relined with a stainless steel liner model Tubinox or Projet

SS* of the same diameter as the outlet of the ﬁreplace. If a

stainless steel liner is used, see note below**.

For connection at a 30º angle, a special connector (BISUMA30 be used to connect the liner to the insulated chimney.

* IMPORTANT NOTE - The use of a 45º connector (BISUMA

proved for use in Canada ONLY. Installations in the USA must use the 30º connector (BISUMA30

Alternate brand rigid stainless liner or stainless ﬂex may be substituted but

must be listed to UL-1777 for US application and ULC-S635 for existing masonry or ULC-S640M for new masonry applications in Canada. The steel rigid or ﬂex liner must be rated at 2100º F (1100º C).

) is ap-

Follow these steps:

1. Position the ﬁreplace in its location. Temporarily install the ASHT* elbow on the top of the ﬁreplace and, using a level, mark with an oval the location where the ﬂue liner will enter the masonry chimney.

2. In the middle of the oval, drill a hole in the masonry chimney at 30º.

3. Increase the size of the hole until a or 30º Tubinox

liner elbow can

be easily slipped through.

4. Slide the liner down from the top of the masonry chimney until you reach the hole level.

5. Slip through the hole a 30º liner elbow and connect it to the liner.

6. Add a small liner section to the liner elbow which will allow the liner to extend at least 12” (measured at the top of the liner) from the masonry chimney.

7. Seal the opening around the liner with high temperature refractory cement.

8. The next steps must be done in the following order:

See typical installation illustrated below.

A. Select the ASHT* length that will ﬁt between the elbow and the liner

so that it will slide at least 2” over the liner section (You may need to cut the liner for a better ﬁt).

B. Take that section and the BISUMA30

cover and slide it over the liner.

Make sure you have enough opening to be able to install the ASHT elbow without difﬁculty.

C. Install the 30º elbow on the ﬁreplace. D. Slide the length section back down on the elbow and twist lock the

two together.

E. Pull the cover down over the length and install the insulation pad over

theliner;becarefultocoverthelinercompletely.

F. Slide back the cover over the insulation and ﬁx it in place using the 3

metal screws supplied.
