• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a
window near the appliance.

• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before fi ring the appliance as the paint will
become soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on
your appliance burn your appliance moderately hot during the fi rst few fi res.

• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door
every 5-10 minutes.

• For the fi rst two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide
open for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel and
fi rebricks. The initial heat output will be reduced while the moisture is bring drawn from the appliance
and it will be necessary to build several hot fi res to remove this moisture. DURING THIS PROCESS

DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE
APPLIANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.

2.4 GENERAL INFORMATION

Your appliance was specifi cally designed to meet the 2015 U.S.A. EPA particulate emission standards and
have been extensively tested in Canadian and American laboratories. This system is the most effi cient, simple
and trouble free we know and works as follows:

Y our appliance is the exact duplication of the clean-burning technology found in all T imberwolf® EPA certifi ed
freestanding stoves. External modifi cations have been made to allow its installation as a “functional insert” with a heat
circulating blower system and a means of enclosing the solid fuel burning fi replace cavity for greater heating effi ciency.

Y our appliance must be installed only into a solid fuel burning fi replace that is at least 14” (356mm) deep 25 7/8”
(657mm) wide and 22” (559mm) high with an approved lined chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m) and a hearth of 18”
(457mm). This minimum recess can only be achieved if the opening height is suffi cient enough to allow the connector
to fi t under the noncombustible facing. The appliance and chimney must be constructed in accordance with all national
and local building code standards.

The chimney vent system used on your wood burning appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily fl ow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too
short or too long can also have an adverse affect on the fl ow of exhaust through it. The wood burning appliance
and chimney vent system also require a suffi cient supply of combustion air not only to support the combustion in the
combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it so it can fl ow freely
up through the vent system and out into the atmosphere. It is the correct
balance of combustion air and the chimney vent system that will ensure the
appliance provides you with its optimum performance.

Secondary air from the rear intake opening travels up the back in the
secondary air housing to the manifold located across the top and fl ows out
laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.

The lower combustion chamber is lined with high temperature fi rebricks on
2 sides, the back and across the bottom, with a layer of fi bre baffl es at the
top to maintain a high temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases
mixing with the preheated air from the secondary air manifold tube are easily
ignited and burned. The appliance sides and back are shielded to direct the
heat upwards and forwards into the room.

AIR INLET PATH
EXHAUST PATH

Be sure to provide suffi cient combustion air. There are many other
appliances in your home competing for air such as: a kitchen range hood,
forced air heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.

W415-1466 / 04.21.15

We suggest that our woodburning hearth products
be installed and serviced by professionals who are
certified in the U.S. by the National Fireplace
Institue® (NFI) as NFI Woodburning Specialists or
who are certified in Canada by
Wood Energy Technical
Training (WETT).

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.

7

After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance
may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the fi rebox burning off. Open a
window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.

2.5 E.P.A. COMPLIANCE

CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:

Use of this product may produce smoke which contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

If you experience smoking problems, you may need to open a door, a window or otherwise provide some
method of supplying combustion air to the appliance.

APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY AND AIR SPACES ARE BLOCKED, PREVENTING THE FREE MOVEMENT OF COOLING AIR.

DO NOT DRAW OUTSIDE AIR FROM GARAGE SPACES. EXHAUST PRODUCTS OF GASOLINE ENGINES ARE HAZARDOUS.

DO NOT INSTALL OUTSIDE AIR DUCTS SUCH THAT THE AIR MAY BE DRAWN FROM ATTIC SPACES, BASEMENTS OR

ABOVE THE ROOFING WHERE OTHER HEATING APPLIANCES OR FANS AND CHIMNEYS EXHAUST OR UTILIZE AIR.

THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF APPLIANCE SMOKING OR AIR FLOW REVERSAL. THE

OUTSIDE AIR INLET MUST REMAIN CLEAR OF LEAVES, DEBRIS ICE AND/OR SNOW. IT MUST BE UNRESTRICTED WHILE

APPLIANCE IS IN USE TO PREVENT ROOM AIR STARVATION WHICH CAN CAUSE SMOKE SPILLAGE AND AN INABILITY

TO MAINTAIN A FIRE. SMOKE SPILLAGE CAN ALSO SET OFF SMOKE ALARMS.

NEGATIVE PRESSURE WITHIN YOUR HOME MAY INADVERTENTLY AFFECT YOUR APPLIANCE.

TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH SAGGING OR LOOSE INSULATION, THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED

AGAINST VAPOUR BARRIERS OR EXPOSED INSULATION. LOCALIZED OVERHEATING COULD OCCUR AND A FIRE

COULD RESULT.

DO NOT USE MAKESHIFT COMPROMISES DURING INSTALLATION. DO NOT BLOCK OR RESTRICT AIR, GRILLE OR

LOUVRE OPENINGS. DO NOT ADD A HOOD.

KEEP HAND TOOLS IN GOOD CONDITION, SHARPEN CUTTING EDGES AND MAKE SURE TOOL HANDLES ARE

SECURE.

ALWAYS MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM AIR SPACE REQUIRED TO THE ENCLOSURE TO PREVENT FIRES.

68.3A

It is extremely important that your appliance be installed according to the manufacturer's specifi cations. The
manufacturer's installation instructions and specifi ed clearances should always be followed in accordance with
local and national codes. In Canada the CSA B365 and the CSA C22.1 installation codes are to be followed. In
the USA the ANSI NFPA 70 and ANSI NFPA 211 installation codes are to be followed.

Chimney and liner must be in good condition and kept clean.

W415-1466 / 04.21.15

4.1 TYPICAL EXISTING MASONRY

You can install your appliance using your existing masonry chimney. To do
so, follow the guidelines below. If you are using a masonry chimney, it
is important that it be built in compliance with the specifi cations of the
Building Code in your region. It must normally be lined with fi re clay
bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with fi re cement. (Round
fl ues are the most effi cient).

A. Remove the fi replace damper or fasten it permanently open.

* We recommend the following method of sealing off the damper area around the liner.
B. * Measure the throat of the fi replace and mark this shape on a piece of 24 gauge sheet metal (fl ue

cover); cut a six-inch (6.75" / 171mm) hole to lie directly below the fi replace fl ue opening. Allow two
inches of material for a fl ange on all sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the fl anges. If you
have never done this before, it might be a good idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it fi rst. Fasten
this fl ue cover in position as high as possible with two masonry screws per side through the fl anges into
the fi replace.

In Canada: Install a listed 6" (152mm) diameter fl exible stainless steel liner from the top of the chimney to the
insert fl ue collar. Attach a stainless steel liner connector or elbow to the liner and insert onto the fl ue collar. Fasten
with three screws. Secure the top of the liner to the chimney cap using a liner support and chimney fl ashing. Cap
the top of the chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.

In the United States: While it is not required, it is recommended that a chimney liner be installed that is
continuous from the insert to the top of the chimney , particularly when the insert is installed in a basement. For
this type of connection, use the “In Canada” installation instructions above.
If a continuous liner is not installed, a “direct fl ue connection” must be made. The direct fl ue connection requires a
non-combustible connector that extends from the insert into the chimney fl ue liner and also that the installed fl ue
cover be sealed below the entry point of the connector to prevent dilution of combustion products in the chimney
fl ue with air from inside the house. Cap the top of the chimney using an approved rain cap.

The following installation requirements must be observed when installing solid fuel burning inserts into factory
built fi replaces.

W415-1466 / 04.21.15

4.2 FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE

The following installation requirements must be observed when installing solid fuel burning inserts into factory

EN

built fi replaces.

A. The factory built fi replace must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610.
B. Clearances to any combustible material surrounding this insert as identifi ed must be followed. These

clearance requirements supersede any pre-existing facing material clearances listed for the factory
built fi replace.

C. Installation must include a full height listed chimney liner meeting HT requirements (2100°F/1149°C)

as required in UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely attached to the insert
fl ue collar and the chimney top.

D. Means must be provided to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fi replace. This may

be accomplished by sealing the damper area around the chimney liner, or sealing the appliance front.

E. The air fl ow within and around the appliance shall not be altered by the installation of the insert (i.e.

no louvres or cooling air inlet or outlet ports are blocked), unless specifi cally tested as such for each
factory built fi replace manufacturer and model line. NOTE: Using a louvered face plate (surround)

complies with this requirement.

F. Alteration of the appliance in any manner is not permitted with the following exceptions;

A. External trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the appliance may be removed providing

they can be stored on or within the fi replace for reassembly if the insert is removed.

B. The chimney damper may be removed to install the chimney liner.

G. Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fi replace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked.
H. Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chimney fl ue.
I. Inserts that project in front of the fi replace must be supplied with appropriate support means.
J. A permanent metal warning label must be attached to the back of the fi replace stating that the fi replace

must be restored to its original condition for safe use without the insert.

THIS WOOD APPLIANCE HAS A MANUFACTURER-SET MINIMUM LOW BURN RATE THAT MUST

NOT BE ALTERED. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES TO ALTER THIS

SETTING OR OTHERWISE OPERATE THIS WOOD APPLIANCE IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.

Y our T imberwolf EPA listed product is designed with the most advanced technology . The appliance is extremely
airtight.

The fi rst fi re(s) in your appliance will be diffi cult to get going and keep going with little amount of heat being generated.
This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fi re brick. During the break-in period (the fi rst 2 or 3 fi res) create
only small, fi res using kindling; this will allow the fi rebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed if small hairline cracks develop in
the fi rebrick. This is a normal occurrence and does not pose a safety hazard. The paint may also smell a little for the
fi rst few fi res as it cures and you may wish to open a door or window to alleviate the smell.

To start, a brisk fi re is required. Place loosely crumpled paper on the fl oor of the appliance and cover with dry kindling.
Open the air control fully by sliding control all the way to the right. Light the paper and leave the door slightly ajar (one
inch) until all kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk fi re, a hot coal bed must be established and sustained.

Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed with a
shallow trench between, so that the primary air can fl ow directly into this trench and ignite the fuel above. When the fi re
seems to be at its peak, medium sized logs may be added. Once these logs have caught fi re, carefully close the door.
(Closing the door too quickly after refueling will reduce the fi rebox temperature and result in an unsatisfactory burn.)
Remember it is more effi cient to burn medium sized wood, briskly, and refuel frequently than to load the appliance with
large logs that result in a smouldering, ineffi cient fi re and dirty glass.

As soon as the door is closed, you will observe a change in the fl ame pattern. The fl ames will get smaller and lazier
because less oxygen is getting into the combustion chamber. The fl ames, however , are more effi cient. The fl ames will
remain lazy but become larger again as soon as the fi rebricks have been heated thoroughly and the chimney becomes
heated and provides a good draft. At this point, the roaring fi re that you see when the door is opened is wastefully
drawing heated room air up the chimney , certainly not desirable. Always operate with the door fully closed once the
medium sized logs have caught fi re.

W415-1466 / 04.21.15

You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once the appliance is entirely hot,
it will burn very effi ciently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of orange coals in the fi rebox
and secondary fl ames fl ickering just below the top baffl es. You can safely fi ll the fi rebox with wood to the top of
the door and will get best burns if you keep the appliance pipe temperatures between 250°F (120°C) and 450°F
(270°C). A surface thermometer will help regulate this.

Without an appliance thermometer, you are working blindly and have no idea of how the appliance is operating!
An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance.

Can’t get the fi re going? Use more kindling and paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and
there is suffi cient combustion air, the lack of suffi ciently dry quantities of small kindling is the problem. Thumb
size is a good gauge for small kindling diameter.

Can’t get heat out of the appliance? One of two things may have happened. The appliance door may have
been closed prematurely and the appliance itself has not reached optimum temperature. Reopen the door and/
or draft control to re-establish a brisk fi re. The other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is
sizzling wood and moisture being driven from the wood.

6.1 OPTIMUM BURN METHOD

For optimal emissions performance and effi ciency follow these simple guidelines when using your appliance:

A. Maintain a 2" (51mm) deep, hot, glowing red coal bed.
B. Burn dry seasoned wood with less than 20% moisture content and burn so that the glass door remains

clean.

C. A stove thermometer should indicate 350°F (176°C) as an average temperature.
D. Maintain a minimal trace of smoke coming from the chimney when the appliance is burning as

intended.

E. Inspect and replace all necessary components such as gaskets, manifolds, glass and other

components which may affect the overall appliance performance.

F. Ensure an adequate draft to control burn rate and temperature.
Refer to “OPERATION” and “MAINTENANCE” sections for detailed information.

THIS WOOD APPLIANCE HAS A MANUFACTURER-SET MINIMUM LOW BURN RATE THAT MUST

NOT BE ALTERED. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES TO ALTER THIS

SETTING OR OTHERWISE OPERATE THIS WOOD APPLIANCE IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.

Draft is the force which moves air from the fi rebox up through the chimney.
The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length and diameter of
chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Adjusting
the air control all the way to the left reduces the temperature. The draft can be
adjusted from low to high by moving the handle from left to right. Inadequate
draft may cause back-puffi ng into the room through the appliance and chimney
connector points and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may
cause an excessive temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts
or chimney connectors or an uncontrollable burn which can lead to a chimney
fi re or permanent damage to the appliance. Do not operate your appliance for
longer than 30 minutes with the air control on “HIGH” (fully open).

6.3 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE DETECTORS

All homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one fi re extinguisher in a central location,
known to all, at least one smoke detector and carbon monoxide (CO) detector in the room containing the
appliance. If the smoke detector sounds an alarm, correct the cause but do not de-activate or relocate the
smoke detector. If the carbon monoxide detector sounds an alarm, immediately vent the area, evacuate and
call your local fi re department.

6.4 FUEL

DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES, OR IN THE SPACE REQUIRED

BURNING WET, UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHEN

When loading the appliance, ensure that the two upper fi bre baffl es are not lifted up and of f their ledge. For
maximum effi ciency, when the appliance is thoroughly hot, load it fully to the top of the door opening and burn
at a medium low setting. Maximum heat for minimum fuel (optimum burn) occurs when the appliance top
temperature is between 500°F (260°C) and 600°F (315°C). The bricks will be nearly all white and the glass
mostly clear. The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanliness of the glass are good indicators of your operating
effi ciency. Not enough heat is produced when only one or two pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not
burn completely . A minimum of three pieces are needed to encase a bed of coals that sustains the fi re.

NOTE: When loading the appliance, ensure to keep fuel back from the glass. If coals are to accumulate
on the front lip, there is a chance they will fall out when the door is opened.

Loosely stacked wood burns quicker than a tightly packed load. Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a steady
output of heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your household routine so that only enough coals are left to
start the next load. In the evening, load your appliance, at least, a half-hour before bed to ensure a good fi re, hot
enough to close the draft control for an overnight burn.

!

WARNING

FOR RE-FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL.

IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.

Burn only dry seasoned wood with 20% moisture content .It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Do
not burn ocean beach wood. Its salt content can produce a metal eating acid. When refueling open the door
slowly to prevent smoke spillage. Use a pair of long gloves (barbecue gloves) when feeding the fi re. Because
these appliances burn at the front, they are clean and effi cient, but they are also very hot and gloves are useful.
Keep a small steel shovel nearby to use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store the wood within 3 feet
(1m) of the appliance.

6.5 LIGHTING A FIRE

6.5.1 FLASH FIRE

6.5.2 EXTENDED FIRE

Load your larger pieces of wood compactly, packed close enough to prevent the fl ames from penetrating
it completely. After approximately 30 minutes, depending on the size of the load, close the draft control
completely making sure that the fi re is not extinguished.

DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE!

21

EN

A fl ash fi re is a small fi re burned quickly when you don't need much
heat. After your kindling has "caught", load at least 3 pieces of wood,
stacked loosely. Burn with the draft control fully open or closed only
slightly.

93.1

Overfi ring can occur by:
A. Burning large amounts of smaller wood pieces such as furniture scraps, skids or treated wood;

B. Vigorously burning large loads of wood with the draft control on “HIGH” (fully open) for long periods of

time (one or two hours).

C. Operating the appliance with the ash dump door blocked open or a poor gasket seal on the main door.

6.6 SMOKING

A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does, check the following:

• Has the chimney had time to get hot?

• Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, chimney connector or chimney?

• Is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside? Try with a window partly open.

• Is the smoke fl ow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?

• Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside chimney, too large a diameter of a
chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?

• Is the moisture content of the wood greater than 20%?
