1 Listing and Code Approvals A. Appliance Certification This fireplace system has been tested and listed in accordance with UL 127 and ULC-S610 standards by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. for installation and operation in the United States and Canada. This fireplace has been tested and listed for use with the optional components specified in this manual. These optional components may be purchased separately and installed at a later date.
2 Getting Started A. Design and Installation Considerations CAUTION Check building codes prior to installation. • Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations. • Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
Location of the fireplace and chimney will affect performance. As shown in Figure 2.1 the chimney should: • Be installed through the warm airspace enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die-down of the fire. • Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the effects of wind turbulence. • Be located away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions. Offsets can restrict draft so their use should be minimized.

¨ E. Construct the Chase A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run on the outside of a building must be installed inside a chase. Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. Local building codes MUST be checked. Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems.
4 Installation of Fireplace WARNING CAUTION Fire Risk Asphyxiation Risk Do not draw outside combustion air from: • Wall, floor or ceiling cavity. • Enclosed space such as an attic or garage. • Close proximity to exhaust vents or chimneys. Fumes or odor may result. Sharp Edges • Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation. A. Install the Outside Air Kit This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventilation is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace system.

B. Secure the Fireplace • • Position the Fireplace This fireplace may be placed on either a combustible or noncombustible continuous flat surface. Follow the instructions for framing in Section 3.D. Slide the fireplace into position. Be sure to provide the minimum air clearance at the sides and back of the fireplace assembly. See Section 3.B. • Remove smoke shield by removing five screws. See Figure 4.7. Smoke shield is located at top of fireplace front.
• Remove fireplace from pallet. The fireplace is attached to pallet with two brackets on each side and rear of outer shell. See Figure 4.11. Remove screws from bracket, pallet and fireplace. Replace screws removed from fireplace. Slide fireplace into position (brackets can be used to anchor fireplace in position). Once fireplace has been put into position, install refractories. • • Install back refractory, making sure refractory is centered and notches are to the bottom of firebox.
Note: To ensure proper installation, gas knockouts in the side refractory should be positioned towards back of fireplace. See Figure 4.15. • • GRATE BRACKET GAS KNOCKOUT Figure 4.17 Grate Secured in Grate Bracket • Figure 4.15 Gas Knockout • • • • Place grate into grate brackets. See Figure 4.17. Replace smoke shield. Replace left and right screens. Tilt top of side refractory towards center of firebox when placing it into fireplace.
D. Place the Protective Metal Hearth Strips WARNING Fire Risk! • Metal hearth strips MUST be installed. Sparks or embers may ignite flooring. Included with your fireplace you will find two metal hearth strips measuring approximately 26 in. x 4 in. (660 mm x 102 mm). These strips are used to provide added protection where the fireplace and the hearth extension meet. Slide each metal strip 2 in. (51 mm) under the front edge of the fireplace. The individual pieces must overlap each other by 1 in.

B. Using Offsets/Returns ¨ To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may be • Measure how far the chimney needs to be shifted to enable it to avoid the overhead obstacle. See Figure 5.3. Use dimension “A” to determine chimney section required to achieve the needed shift. After determining the offset dimension, refer to Table 5.2 and find the “A” dimension closest to but not less than the distance of shift needed for your installation.
C. Assemble the Chimney Sections Attach either a straight chimney section or an offset to the top of the fireplace (depending on your installation requirement). Chimney sections are locked together by pushing downward until the top section meets the stop bead on the lower section. Note: The ceiling firestop MUST be nailed to the bottom of the ceiling joists EXCEPT when the space above is uninsulated and the attic insulation shield is not being used (see Figure 5.5).
E. Install the Attic Insulation Shield An insulation shield must be installed when there is a possibility of insulation coming into contact with the factory built chimney system. • • • Bend the tabs at the top of the attic insulation shield inward. This will help keep the chimney section centered in the shield. Position the shield over the vertical chimney section where it penetrates a ceiling firestop. Slide the shield down until it rests on the ceiling firestop.

B. Finishing Material WARNING • Combustible Material Material which is made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, plastics, or any material capable of igniting and burning, whether flame proofed or not, plastered or not plastered. • Non-Combustible Material Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
9 Operating Instructions WARNING WARNING HOT! DO NOT TOUCH. SEVERE BURNS MAY RESULT. CLOTHING IGNITION MAY RESULT. Fire Risk • Do not operate fireplace before reading and understanding operating instructions. Failure to operate fireplace properly may cause fire. A. General Information Glass and other surfaces are hot during operation and cool down. • • • Fireplaces, as well as other woodburning appliances, have been used safely for many years.
B. Outside Air E. Firescreen A source of air (oxygen) is required in order for combustion to take place. Whatever air is consumed by the fire must be replaced through cracks around windows, under doors, etc. Most newly constructed houses or existing homes fitted with tightly sealed doors and windows are relatively air tight. In this case, an outside air source must be made available to feed combustion air from outside the home. A firescreen is always provided to control sparks.
G. Grate Seasoning The factory installed integral grate must be used to hold the logs from falling out of an open fireplace and to allow air to pass between the burning logs. It is important to keep the fire off the hearth and to allow the ashes to collect beneath the fire, thereby forming a layer of additional heat protection. WARNING Fire Risk • Use only factory installed integral grate. May cause overfire.
I. Starting a Fire Check the flue damper to be certain it is in the full open position. Place crumpled or twisted paper under the fireplace grate. Loosely arrange kindling or small pieces of wood to form a layer above the paper. The fires must be built on the fireplace grate, without danger of the burning fuel falling out of the fireplace opening. CAUTION Odors and vapors released during initial operation. • Curing of high temperature paint. • Open windows for air circulation.
10 Troubleshooting This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventilation is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace system. Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechanical exhausting devices which will create a negative air pressure within the structure where the fireplace is located.
B. Diagnostics and Problem Solving I can’t get a good fire going. What am I doing wrong? Diagnostic Questions Solutions Possible Causes of Condition Is the damper open? • No draft Open damper. Is there enough paper/starter? • Insufficient heat to ignite kindling Use more paper/starter. Is there enough kindling? Is the kindling dry? • Insufficient heat to ignite fuel Use more dry kindling.
The fireplace burns the wood too fast. What can I do? Diagnostic Questions Solutions Possible Causes of Condition Do you have glass doors? • Need to slow air intake Add glass doors. What is the condition of the wood? • Extremely dry wood Mix in less seasoned wood after fire established. I smell smoke in the house during operation.
11 Maintenance and Servicing the Fireplace A. Disposal of Ashes B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible 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 embers have thoroughly cooled.
CAUTION WARNING Handle glass assembly with care. When cleaning glass door: • Avoid striking, scratching or slamming glass. • Do NOT use abrasive cleaners. • Use a hard water deposit glass cleaner on white film. • Do NOT clean glass when it is hot. Asphyxiation Risk Fire Risk Annual inspection by qualified technician recommended.
