ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Tested to U/L Standard 737

SAFETY NOTICE

If this fireplace is not properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow

the installation instructions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and

installation inspection requirements in your area.

This stove must be connected to (1) a chimney complying with the requirements for Type HT

chimneys in the Standard for Chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential Type and Building Heating

Appliance, UL 103, or (2) a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.

Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new fireplace. Failure to follow

instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT IN A MOBILE HOME.

1. Carefully remove all components from the shipping cartons

and inspect for damage. If any damage is noted contact the

shipping company or your dealer immediately. DO NOT

INSTALL THIS UNIT IF DAMAGED OR MISSING PARTS.

2. Protect the flooring near the intended place of installation

with an old rug, blanket, or cardboard. Place the firebox on

this material.

3. Mix and install the Malmcrete hearth refractory as follows:

a. Obtain a sturdy water-tight mixing container such as a

wheelbarrow or large wash tub, a bucket or can for

transporting the mixture, a cement trowel, and a source for

clean mixing water. It is suggested that the Malmcrete be

mixed outside to avoid spillage or splatters in the dwelling.

b. Pour the dry Malmcrete mixture into the mixing container.

c. Use 1 quart water for each bag.

d. Add 1/2 to 3/4 of the water to the dry mix and mix thourghly.

Add additional water in small increments, mixing

throughly between additions. Do not add more water than

is necessary to get a somewhat dry mixture; to much

water in the mix may cause the refractory to crack exces-

sively, and will reduce the strength of the refractory. To

test for proper water content, cut vertically into the mixture

with the trowel, push the trowel sideways to open a 3 inch

deep by 2 inch wide cut in the mixture, then slide the trowel

back up out of the cut. The cut should stay open with very

little "slumping" back into the cut. Next, run the trowel over

the surface of the mixture with the blade at a slight angle

to the surface of the mixture, like spreading butter. The

mixture should become relatively smooth with few voids

after 6 or 7 passes of the trowel using moderate

pressure. Water should not float to the top of the

mixture.

e. Transfer the mixture to the hearth (floor) area inside the

firebox, spreading the mixture out as it is added. Use the

trowel to spread the mix into the firebox area. Continue

to add refractory until there is a minimum of 2 inches thick

over the entire hearth area. To measure the depth of the

mix, place a piece of tape 2 inches from the pointed end

of a long nail. Insert the nail vertically through the mix

every 6 inches

(front to back and

side to side) across

the hearth; the mix

should come to a

uniform height up

the nail, at or slightly

above the tape.

Trowel in the nail holes when completed.

Shape the refractory to the contour of the Imperial hearth.

If the refractory will not stay in place wait untill the

refractory has set slightly. Check the refractory every few

minutes to see if it has set enough to stay in place.

f. Allow the mix to cure at least 48 hours. Additional curing

time is necessary in cool temperatures. The longer

Malmcrete is allowed to cure before the first fire is lit, the

stronger and more durable it will become.

g. Make the first 3 or 4 fires very small and of short duration

to allow the refractory to adjust to the high temperature

of a fire.

Clearance to Combustibles The Imperial requires a clearance to combustible walls of 42" measured from the back of the unit. For locating the center of the chimney the measurement is 63" from the backwall and 63" to the sidewall. See figure 1, page 2. For corner installation the center of the chimney is 63". See figure 2, page 2. Chimney System Clearance to Non-combustibles The Imperial clearance to a combustible wall may be reduced with proper wall protection.

Hearth Requirements A floor protector is required to protect the floor in front of the fireplace opening from sparks. The floor protector must be a minimum of 2 1/2 inch thick common solid brick over 26 gauge sheet metal or equivalent. The floor protector must extend a minimum of 16 inches in front of the fireplace opening and 8 inches to either side of the fireplace and 8 inches behind the back of the unit. Refer to Figure #3.
