INSTALLATION SAFETY NOTICE IF THIS INSERT IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH. CONSULT YOUR MUNICIPAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA. USE SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE ROOM WHERE YOUR INSERT IS INSTALLED. KEEP FURNITURE AND DRAPES WELL AWAY FROM THE INSERT.
DOOR OVERLAY INSTALLATION In order to complete the assembly of your Osburn 1600 wood insert, you need to install the door overlay. See figure 1 below for installation instructions : 1- Position the overlay on the door frame and fix it in place from behind using the 4 screws. Note: It is not necessary to remove the glass or any other component to install the overlay.
DOOR ADJUSTMENT In order for your insert to operate properly, the door should be adjusted periodically to provide an air tight fit.
PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS MASONRY & ZERO CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS The masonry fireplace must meet the minimum code requirements, or NFPA 21,1 or the equivalent for a safe installation. Contact your local Building Inspector for requirements in your area. An inspection of the fireplace should include the following: 1.
4. CHIMNEY CAPS: Mesh type chimney caps must have provision for regular cleaning, or the mesh should be removed to eliminate the potential of plugging. 5. LINER: The chimney must have an acceptable masonry liner suitable for solid fuel, otherwise a continuous stainless steel liner must be installed. 6.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS The flue is a critical component to a satisfactory installation. Your insert will attain its best performance if installed with a flue that generates its own draft. The minimum venting requirement will be the installation of a flue connector from the insert into the first tile of the chimney (see Figure 2.3).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Inspect the fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary. 2. If the installation of the unit renders the existing damper control inaccessible, it will be necessary to either secure the damper wide open or remove it entirely. An inaccessible damper which may fall shut later could cause smoke to enter the room. This would be a nuisance as well as a potential health hazard. 3.
4. POSITIONING THE UNIT: The more extended the insert, the greater the heat transfer to the room. When installed as an extended insert, the front edge of the air jacket will be installed flush with the fireplace facing. Otherwise the unit can be moved back as much as 3.5" (89mm) or any position in between. The position chosen will depend on your own preference for most installations (where the lintel is less than 6" (152mm) and the depth is greater than 12.5" (318mm)). See the table and Figure 5.
5. If lag-bolts and anchors are to be used to secure the insert, the hole locations should be marked with the unit in place. Remove the unit and locate the anchors. 6. Remove the faceplate panels from their box and assemble according to these faceplate instructions: A. Remove the slide from within the air jacket. B. Place the faceplate face down on a flat, nonabrasive surface (see Figure 6) so that the sides are a bit towards the middle. Figure 6 C.
7. INSTALLATION ON FACEPLATE: Attach the mitred corners of trim together using the corner brackets. Slide the assembled trim over the edge of the faceplate. See Figures 8 and 9. Attach the left and right sides to the top with corner brackets supplied. Slip the trim over the faceplate and snap the eight faceplate trim clips in place (see Figure 8). Figure 8 Figure 9 8. Lift the insert into the fireplace.
10. Push the air control (A) in, all the way. Slide the adjustable faceplate sleeve back into its original location until the faceplate fits tightly against the fireplace facing. See Figure 10. One 7/16" (11mm) open end wrench should be used to turn the nut (B), located above the cooktop in the center, up so that it securely fastens the adjustable faceplate sleeve to the top air jacket.
OPERATION Your heating unit was designed to burn wood only; no other materials should be burnt. Wastes and other flammable materials should not be burnt in your wood insert. Any type of wood may be used in your insert, but specific varieties have better energy yields than others. Please consult the following table in order to make the best possible choice.
Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 6" in diameter should be split. The wood should not be stored directly on the ground. Air should circulate through the cord. A 24" to 48" air space should be left between each row of logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location possible. The upper layer of wood should be protected from the element but not the sides.
HEATING Controlled combustion is the most efficient technique for wood heating because it enables you to select the type of combustion you want for each given situation. The wood will burn slowly if the wood insert air intake control is adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber to a minimum. On the other hand, wood will burn quickly if the air control is adjusted to admit a larger quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber. The air intake control on your insert is very simple.
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours 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.
MAINTENANCE Your OSBURN insert is a high efficiency insert and therefore require little maintenance. It is important to perform a visual inspection of the insert every time it is emptied, in order to insure that no parts have been damaged, in which case repairs must be performed immediately. GLASS Inspect the glass regularly in order to detect any cracks. If you spot one, turn the insert off immediately. Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut.
BAFFLE INSTALLATION All firebrick and ceramic wool baffles must be properly in place for correct burning operation. Have any damaged firebricks replaced. Check the firebricks annually for damage and replace if they are broken or damaged. See figure 11 for the firebrick layout.
SECONDARY AIR TUBE REPLACEMENT 1. Remove cotter pin at left end of tube. 2. Slide tube to right and lower tube end below left plenum. 3. Slide tube to left to remove. 4. Reassemble in reverse order using a new cotter pin. The cotter pin is a hammerlock style and locks into place by hitting the head sharply with a hammer. 5. Note that any tube can be replaced without disturbing the baffle.
