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 certifi cation and 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 fi re 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 diffi cult to burn
and will result in lower effi ciency, 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.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that
exceed heater design specifi cations can result
in permanent damage to the heater.
First Fires
Before using the fi replace make sure to remove
the plastic wrapping and EPA label on plated
door. Remove any glue residue left by the
label using mild soap.
The fi rst fi ve or six fi res should be small fi res of
short duration (about 30 to 60 minutes). This
will help cure the refractory bricks. During the
fi rst few fi res 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 fi rst few fi res.

WARNING
Be careful adding wood fuel to the
fi re or handling fi replace 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 fi replace
tools. Exercise caution when
adding wood to your fi replace.
Building a Fire
(starting and maintaining a fi re)
To start a fi re, place several crumpled up balls of
newspaper in the fi rebox. 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 fi re is well established, cord
wood can be added (see Primary Air Combus-tion 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 fi re 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 fl ue damper in the WCT6820WS
wood burning fi replace. As is common with
air tight stoves, the combustion air control
sets the fl ow of air entering the fi rebox. This
allows for a more precise control of the fi re. The
combustion air control is located below the door
on the left side. The main source of air (primary
air) entering the fi rebox 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 fi re start
up and reloading of the unit.
Pulling the air combustion control will induce an
air boost at the base of the fi re allowing an easier
fi re start up. When the fi re 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
fi replace 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 WCT6820WS
fi replace is achieved by burning with the door
closed and the combustion air opened and
pulled out. By this method, the WCT6820WS
fi replace 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 effi cient method of burning the
WCT6820WS fi replace.
Use caution when fi ring 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 fi rebox.
Medium Combustion
This is the recommended mode of operating
the WCT6820WS fi replace 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. The precise setting will depend on
many factors, including chimney length and the
moisture content of the wood.
Push to Close
Air Boost
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 fi replace is in a slow combustion phase.
If the hearth is hot enough, slow combustion will
not extinguish the fi re, but there will be a noticeable change in the fl ame pattern. The fl ames 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 fl ame, 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 WCT6820WS fi replace with
the air control opened to produce a hot fi re 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.
REFUELING FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
The WCT6820WS fi replace will operate best
if attention is given to operating the unit with
the damper fully opened after refueling in order
to bring the fi rebox and the chimney system
up to their optimum operating temperature.
Combustion effi ciency is relative to fi rebox
temperature. A temperature of 500º C (932º F)
and up, with a visible fl ame, in the upper part
of the fi rebox indicates a maximum effi ciency.
To obtain this temperature, the fi replace 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 fl ame
at the top of the fi rebox. The benefi t of this
technique will be cleaner glass, less creosoting,
greater effi ciency and the most pleasing fi re for
your enjoyment.

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 fi replace
has been designed and tested to provide smoke
free operation. Occasionally, there may be a
small amount of smoking upon lighting the fi re,
until the chimney heats up but this should not
continue. If the fi replace continues to smoke it
is probably for one of the following reasons:
A. Negative pressure in the house - As the
fi re 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 WCT6820WS fi replace,
open a nearby window temporarily to check
if there is adequate replacement air supply.
B. Fans operating (e.g.: range hood) - These
fans draw air out of the house and may
actually cause a negative pressure in the
house. Turn off all fans and open a nearby
window to determine if this is the cause of
the problem.
C. Wet wood - Wet or tarred wood will smoul-
der and smoke instead of burning properly.
Your 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 certifi ed chimney sweep or use a
properly sized chimney brush to clean.
E. Chimney not long enough - The minimum
chimney height is twelve (12) feet (3.7 m)
not including the fi replace 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 fi fteen (15)
feet (4.6 m). Additional height will increase
draft and will decrease the tendency to
smoke.
F. Poor chimney draft - With no fi re, there
should be suffi cient draft to exhaust cigarette
smoke introduced under the baffl e. 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 fi rebox to warm up the
chimney. Wait until the draft is suffi cient,
then start the fi re.
If dirty
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS
A. Do not block the hot air vents to the fi re-
place as this will cause the fi replace to
overheat.
B. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern
fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fl uid, or
similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fi re
in this fi replace. Keep all such liquids well
away from the fi replace while it is in use.
C. Do not burn coal. The sulphur in coal will
corrode the fi rebox and chimney.
D. Keep combustible materials at least 48”
(1.2 m) away from the front of the fi replace
opening.
E. Never leave children unattended when
there is a fi re burning in the fi replace.
F. Do not use the fi replace as an incinerator
to burn paper, cardboard or construction
material such as pressed wood, plywood
or lumber. Use only untreated wood.
Wood protectors, metallic paper, coal,
plastic, waste, beach wood, Christmas
tree, sulphur and/or oil will damage the
fi replace.
G. Do not burn driftwood which has been in the
ocean or salt water. The salt will corrode
the fi rebox and chimney.
H. Do not burn wood in the area in front of the
grate.
I. Do not allow the wood to smoulder or burn
without fl ame, since this will produce
excessive creosote in the unit as well as
increased particulate emissions.
J. Blower for forced air kit operating - Make
sure that the blower is at the “off” position
when you open the fi replace door for reloading.
Smoke Detectors Recommended
Since there are always several potential sources
of fi re 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 fl u
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 infl uence 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
Have your product inspected at least once
a year by a qualifi ed service technician to
ensure gaskets, air tubes, baffl es, and venting are in good repair to ensure proper performance. Have degraded items replaced
by a qualifi ed service technician.
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.
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 fl ue of a slow-burning fi re. As
a result, creosote residue accumulates on the
fl ue lining. When ignited this creosote makes
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
an extremely hot fi re.
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 fi re.
When the creosote accumulation is large, a
creosote fi re 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 fl ame burning, avoid smouldering fi res
and by proper refuelling techniques.
Chimney Maintenance
Regular chimney inspection and maintenance
combined with proper operation will prevent
chimney fi res. 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 fi re. 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 qualifi ed
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 fl ue 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.
Caution: It is necessary to remove the baffl e
from the top of the fi rebox before cleaning the
chimney. See “Top Baffl e Removal Prior To
Chimney Sweep.”
Dealing With a Chimney Fire
Regular chimney maintenance and inspection
can prevent chimney fi res. If you have a chimney
fi re, follow these steps:
1. Close the fi replace door and the combustion
air controls.
2. Alert your family of the possible danger.
3. If you require assistance, alert your fi re
department.
4. If possible, use a dry chemical fi re extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the
fi re. 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 fi replace again until your
chimney and fi replace have been inspected
by a qualifi ed 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.
OK
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 fi re. Time is the most important
factor in seasoning wood. Ideally the moisture
content should be reduced to 11-20%. NOTE:
The use of a fi rewood moisture meter is recommended to ensure the fi rewood 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.

Top Baffl e Removal Prior to Cleaning The
Chimney
Before starting to clean your chimney, we
recommend that you remove the top baffl e to
avoid creosote dust collection at the top of the
baffl e. Follow these steps to set the top baffl e
out of the way:
1. Remove the side refractory holder. They are
located at the top of the refractory.
2. Lift the front baffl e.
3. Slide the back baffl e under the front baffl e.
You now have access to the chimney.

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 fi nish.
DISPOSING OF ASHES
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your
fi rebox, and when the fi re has burned down and
cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed
approximately 1 inch deep on the fi rebox bottom
to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Remove ashes only when the fi re is out and
the ashes are cold (24 to 48 hours after the
fi re is out).
Do not leave the ashes in the house as they give
off carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.

WARNING
Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should
be placed in a steel container
with a tight fi tting lid and moved
outdoors immediately. The
closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible
fl oor or on the ground well away
from all combustible materials,
pending fi 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.
REFRACTORY REPLACEMENT
The intense heat of the fi re 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

DOOR INSTALLATION
The door must be installed only when the installation of the WCT6820WS fi replace is completed.
All you have to do is fi t the male part of the hinge, already on the door, to the female part, which
is on the fi replace. To remove the door, simply pull the door up from the hinges (see Figure 3).
The door adjustment has been set at the factory. If the fi t 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 fi replace 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 fi replace.
WARNING
• Use only a IHP glass doors, specifi cally designed for the WCT6820WS
fi replace.
The fi replace cannot be operated without door or fi rescreen. Consult
•
your dealer to select the correct replacement door or fi rescreen.
• Important! To assure proper alignment of glass doors: Install this
fi replace in a square and plumb condition, using shims as necessary
at sides and/or bottom.

Facade Installation
Install the Facade per instructions provided in
Facade Kit (ordered separately - see Page 21).
Framing, Facing And Mantel
The construction of the framing, facing, and
mantel must be in accordance with the standards and the following illustrations (Figures
10 and 11):
A. Frame the fi replace using 2” x 3” or heavier
lumber.
B. WARNING: Combustible materials can-
not be used in the space directly above
the fi replace, 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 fi replace with vertical studs at the
sides of the fi replace running from fl oor to
ceiling (see Figure 8). If combustible facing
is to be used, position the studs back, from
the front edge of the fi replace (a space that
is the thickness of the facing material, so
that the facing can be installed fl ush with the
fi replace 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 fi replace except on the
front facing.
• Place headers only as required to support the facing and mantel.
D. WARNING: The fi replace must not be in
contact with any insulation or loose fi lling material. Cover the insulation with
drywall panels around the fi replace.
Hearth Extension Requirements
The WCT6820WS fi replace may be installed
directly on a combustible fl oor. The supplied
safety metal strip must be positioned as follows:
One half under the front of the fi replace and the
other half must extend on the fl oor over which
the hearth extension will be built (see Figure 6).
* The safety metal strip must cover the entire
width of the fi replace.
The combustible fl oor in front of the fi replace
must be covered with a non-combustible material (tile, marble, stone, etc). See Figure 7.
COLD CLIMATE INSTALLATIONS
Climates where temperatures will fall below
32° F (0° C).
The heating performance of the appliance will
vary depending upon the level of insulation,
house design, how the appliance is operated,
etc.
If this fi replace is being installed in a cold
climate, it is especially important to seal all
cracks around the fi replace and wherever cold
air could enter the room with noncombustible
material.
Fireplace
The crack between the fi replace
and the hearth extension must be
sealed with a non-combustible
material such as sand-cement
grout.

HOT AIR DUCTING INSTALLATION
The WCT6820WS wood burning fi replace is
approved for use with a Gravity kit (hot air
ducting system).
Gravity Kit
The gravity kit is designed for double hot air
outlets and includes: (See Figure 14).
- Two (2) telescopic lengths 8” I.D.
- Two (2) 90º elbows 8” I.D.
- Two (2) hot air outlet kits
(grill and frames)
- Two (2) adaptors
See Gravity Kit Accessories Page 21.
For safe installation, the gravity kit must meet
the following requirements:
Minimum height* 68” (1,727 mm)
Maximum length See Figure 14
* The height of the louver must be measured
from the base of the WCT6820WS fi replace to
the middle point of the louver.
The only blower that can be used with the gravity
kit is the one sold with the fi replace.
To extend the double outlet system, it will be
necessary to purchase two adjustable lengths
(H8951).
Frame
Grill
WARNING: Both pipes of
the double hot air outlet
must be installed. Any other installation may cause
fi re and void warranty.
Figure 15
When installing the double outlet system, the
hot air outlets can be installed in the same room
as the fi replace, 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 14).
Figure 13
FIREPLACE BLOWER
The fi replace comes equipped with a heat activated blower. It is located in the bottom of the
fi replace, towards the back. It uses 120V and
must be connected to the main electrical circuit
by a qualifi ed electrician. For connection, use the
electrical box supplied with the unit located on
the bottom right corner of the fi replace.
If you wish to adjust the blower speed, the
variable speed control (VRUW) provided must
be installed in line with the wiring. Again, use
a qualifi ed electrician for installation.
If the blower requires servicing,
1- Remove the doors and decorative facade.
2- Remove the screw located below the blower
motor that holds it to the back of fi replace.
3- Pull the blower out of the unit through the
square hole located in the front bottom right
corner.
WARNING: The outlet grills
should not be installed facing upward through a fl oor.
Danger of burns can result
if grills in fl oor are stepped
on.

It is mandatory to install an outside air connection to the WCT6820WS wood burning fi replace.
The following components are required and are
included with the fi replace:
• Outside air kit (includes 4 inch fl ex that goes
up to ten (10) feet long)
• 4” Adaptor for fi replace connection
The outside air assembly must be installed according to the following requirements:
Outside Air Installation
Firestop
Figure 17
The duct system must be installed respecting
the following:
1. Remove the plates closing up the 8” dia. holes
on top of the fi replace. Then, cut the insulation in order to obtain two 8” dia. openings.
Fix the adaptors on the fi replace openings
by turning clockwise (Figure 15).
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 fl oor,
a fi restop must be installed at the wall or
fl oor 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 fi replace to
overheat. A furnace duct is only single wall
and not double wall as is required for the
WCT6820WS fi replace 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 fi replace or ceiling.
8. Do not use insulated fl exible ducts as they
will overheat.
9. Do not use tees or any other components
than the ones specifi cally listed here.
10. Never allow the ducting to pitch down as
hot air will be trapped creating a fi re 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.
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 a 4” interior diameter
(100 mm) insulated fl exible duct is twenty
(20) feet (6.1 m). (See note below).
B) The air intake register must not be installed
more than ten (10) feet (3050 mm) above
the base of the fi replace.
C) The fresh air must come from outside the
house. The air intake must not draw air from
the attic, 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 fl oor 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 18).
Slip the pipe into the insulated sleeve. Place
the insulated pipe over the register tube and
over the fi replace’s outside air connector (see Figure 19). At each end, carefully pull back the
insulation and plastic cover exposing the fl exible pipe. Using the aluminium tape provided,
wrap the tape around the joint between the
fl exible 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 twenty
(20) feet of 4” fl exible pipe. If you require a
longer length we recommend that you use a 5”
diameter fl exible pipe for the complete run up
to thirty (30) feet and a 6” diameter pipe for a
run of up to forty (40) feet.

6. All chimney installations must include at least one support. Re-
ducing the amount of chimney weight on the fi replace will help avoid
the noise created when the fi replace expands. This can be achieved
by having the chimney supported by the supports. The maximum
chimney length that can be supported by the fi replace is nine (9) feet
(2.75 m) for S-2100+
/ HT6103+*/ DuraTech DTC
/HT6000+*, twelve (12) feet (3.7 m) for ASHT+*
*
and 26 feet (8 m) for AC* chimney.
**
7. 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 20).
8. If the chimney extends higher than fi ve (5) feet (1,500 mm) above its
point of contact with the roof, it must be secured using a roof brace.
9. A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney. Failure to install
a rain cap may cause corrosion problems.
10. Cut and frame square holes in all fl oors, 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 fi ll this 2” space
with insulation or any other combustible material.
11. Portions of the chimney which may extend through accessible spaces
must be enclosed to avoid contact with combustible materials or
damage to the chimney.
12. When offsets are used, the pipe may not penetrate a ceiling or fl oor
unless it is running vertical (no 30° offsets).

THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Chimney Installation Notes
1. This appliance is equipped with a universal vent collar that will require
the fi rst vent section of pipe to be secured with four screws to the
collar (equally spaced around circumference).
2. If possible, 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-with dry
and fl ow reversal. Installations, which are located on lower fl oors
in the house, such as in a basement, in combination with outside
chimney, are especially prone to fl ow reversal.
3. The IHP fi replace model WCT6820WS may be installed only with
Security Chimneys International 6” diameter chimney systems

4. A chimney venting a fi replace shall not vent any other appliance.
5. The minimum chimney height is twelve (12) feet (3.7 m). In altitude,
add 18” (450 mm) to the chimney for every 2,000 feet (600 m) above

the fi rst chimney length on the fi replace. To
lock it in place, turn 1/4 of a turn clockwise.
With the AC
chimney, you must use a starter
*
section before installing the fi rst chimney
length (Figure 23). 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
fi restop. 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
fi replace to reduce expansion noises (refer
to instructions included with the support).
5. Then, put the roof fl ashing in place and seal
the joint between the roof and the fl ashing
with roofi ng pitch (see Figures 24 and 25).
For sloping roofs, place the fl ashing under
the upper shingles and on top of the lower
shingles. Nail the fl ashing to the roof, using
roofi ng nails.
6. Place the spacers and the storm collar over
the fl ashing, 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 fl ashing can be
washed with a solvent or vinegar and then

GLASS CARE
Glass Replacement
The glass used for the WCT6820WS fi replace
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 WCT6820WS fi replace.
Replacement glass should be purchased from a
IHP dealer (see “Replacement Parts”, Page 22).
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH CRACKED
OR BROKEN GLASS.
Glass Cleaning
The WCT6820WS fi replace is designed to keep
the glass clean under normal operating conditions. If the WCT6820WS fi replace is operated
continuously with the combustion air controls
closed, the glass will tend to get dirty unless
the fuel, fi rebox 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 GASKET 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, fi rst 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 WCT6820WS Fireplace
The best location to install your fi replace is
determined by considering the location of
windows, doors, and the traffi c fl ow in the room
where the fi replace 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 fl oor or roof joists (see fi replace dimensions Page 9).
Usually, no additional fl oor support is needed
for the fi replace. The adequacy of the fl oor
can be checked by fi rst estimating the weight
of the fi replace system. Weights are given
on Page 22. Note the fl oor construction and
consult your local building code to determine
if additional support is needed.
The WCT6820WS fi replace may be installed
directly on the fl oor 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:
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof.
• Be installed as far as possible of roof offsets,
trees or any other obstructions that may
cause wind turbulence and back drafts in
the chimney.
• The least amount of offsets (elbows) possible. NOTE: A maximum of 2 offsets is
allowed.

CHIMNEY SUPPORT INSTALLATION
Universal Roof Support
This support has three possible uses:
1. For ASHT+
/ HT6103+*, S-2100+* / HT6000+* and DuraTech® DTC**,
*
it must be used on a roof to support the chimney.
2. It may be used on a fl oor, ceiling or roof above an offset to support
the chimney above the offset.
3. It may be used on a fl oor, 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 forty
(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 INSTALLATION
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 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
Follow these steps:
WARNING: Before starting the installation, the masonry chimney
must be inspected by a qualifi ed 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 these fi replace connectors are 2”
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 fi replace. If a
®
*
stainless steel liner is used, see note below**.
For connection at a 30º angle, a special connector (BISUMA30
) must be
*
used to connect the liner to the insulated chimney.
* IMPORTANT NOTE - The use of a 45º connector (BISUMA
) is ap-
*
proved for use in Canada ONLY. Installations in the USA must use the
30º connector (BISUMA30
Alternate brand rigid stainless liner or stainless fl ex 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 fl ex liner must be rated at 2100º F (1100º C).
).
*
1- Position the fi replace in its location. Temporarily install the ASHT+*
elbow on the top of the fi replace and, using a level, mark with an oval
the location where the fl ue 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 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 fi t 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 fi t).
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 diffi culty.
C. Install the 30º elbow on the fi replace.
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 fi x it in place using the 3
metal screws supplied.
