1 Listing and Code Approvals A. Appliance Certification B. Non-Combustible Materials 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 may be installed in sleeping rooms EXCEPT in manufactured homes. If installed with a gas log set, provisions for the National Fuel Gas Code must be met.
User Guide 2 Operating Instructions WARNING HOT SURFACES! Glass and other surfaces are hot during operation AND cool down. Hot glass will cause burns. • DO NOT touch glass until it is cooled • NEVER allow children to touch glass • Keep children away • CAREFULLY SUPERVISE children in same room as fireplace. • Alert children and adults to hazards of high temperatures. High temperatures may ignite clothing or other flammable materials. • Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other flammable materials away.
B. Seasoned Wood D. Grate Properly seasoned wood is important for successful operation of your fireplace. Most woodburning fireplace problems are caused by burning wet, unseasoned wood. This fireplace is designed to be used with the grate supplied with this unit or one approved by HHT. The grate will break down over time and will need occasional replacement. Seasoned firewood is wood that is cut to size, split and air dried to a moisture content of around 20%.
H. Glass Doors J. Vented Gas Log Sets & Gas Log Lighters • • • • Glass doors are optional. Refer to Figure 2.2 for how to properly use them. WARNING! Risk of Fire! Install ONLY doors approved by Hearth & Home Technologies, Inc. Optional Vented gas logs or gas log lighters can be installed in this fireplace. Follow the instructions provided with the accessory for operation. WARNING! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation! • DO NOT install unvented gas logs. • Damper must be locked open.
M. Wood Fuel Seasoned Wood Hardwood vs Softwood • • • Your fireplace performance depends on the quality of the firewood you use. • • • • • • • Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per pound . Hard woods are more dense than soft woods. Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods. Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower and are harder to ignite. Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are easier to ignite.
3 Maintenance and Service A. Disposal of Ashes B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning Frequency: When they reach bottom of grate By: Homeowner Frequency: At least twice a year during heating season or as recommended by a certified chimney sweep By: Certified chimney sweep WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashes could contain hot embers. • • • Place ashes in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
C. Check Firebox Refractory Frequency: After each ash removal By: Homeowner WARNING! Risk of Fire! Inspect fireplace refractory. Crumbling, deteriorated refractory can allow overheating of surrounding materials. Expansion and contraction will cause minor cracking of the refractory. This is normal. The refractory will require periodic replacement depending on use.
4 Troubleshooting Guide Start Fire Problems Possible Cause Solution Can’t get fire started Excessive smoke or spillage Burns too slowly Smolders, sizzles Not enough kindling/paper or no kindling/paper Use dry kindling, more paper. Arrange kindling & wood for air movement. Damper closed/not fully open Open damper. Not enough air for fire to ignite Check for restricted cap/shroud. Open air kit (if installed). Check for flue blockage.
Installer Guide 5 Getting Started A. Typical Fireplace System Additional lateral support for chimney above roof (or enclosed in chase) if needed (Section 8) NOTICE: • Illustrations and photos reflect typical installations and are for design purposes only. • Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale. • Actual product may vary from pictures in manual.
B. Design and Installation Considerations D. Negative Pressure NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation. WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Fire must draft properly for safe operation. • Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.
E. Locating Fireplace & Chimney Location of the fireplace and chimney will affect performance. • • • • • • Install within 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 loading. Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions. Minimize the use of chimney offsets.
