CONGRATULATIONS! You have chosen the finest wood burning fireplace available. Your fireplace has been designed for years of heating and viewing enjoyment. Please take time to read this entire manual before installing or operating your fireplace. TABLE OF CONTENTS Listing and Code Approvals................................................................................................................1 Important Information......................................................................................
2 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 1. Read these instructions entirely before beginning any part of the installation. Save these instructions for any future repairs. 2. Use these instructions as a guide during the installation of the fireplace. 3. Be sure these instructions become the property of and are reviewed by all future users of this fireplace to encourage proper operation and maintenance. 4. All the parts used with this fireplace system must be installed in accordance with these installation instructions.
OPERATION GUIDELINES 5 When a AK4 combustion air assembly and a combustion air duct are attached to the connecting point on the left of the fireplace, combustion air may enter the firebox through a dampered opening behind the left side panel. This feature is designed for your benefit to reduce the room air used for combustion and to prevent excessive loss of heat from the room. When the fireplace is in use, this damper should be open.

FIREPLACE LOCATION CAUTION: Do not install fireplace over carpeting. This fireplace does not weigh more than large pieces of furniture and can normally be located near a load bearing wall without requiring additional foundations or supports. If however, the fireplace is to be trimmed with a heavy stone or brick facing and hearth extension, be sure the supporting structure is adequate.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION Survey the planned location for the fireplace for overhead plumbing or electrical wires, etc., that might complicate the installation or endanger persons installing or cleaning the chimney. Avoid a location where the chimney cap will be near abrupt changes in the roof shape, nearby wall or embankments, under or near trees or above the roof of a single story wing of a two story building as shown by Figure 7.

FLOOR PROTECTION If this fireplace is installed on a combustible floor, the floor area 20 inches in front of, and 12 inches either side of the fireplace opening must be protected by an insulating noncombustible hearth extension. This hearth extension may be either minimum 6-inch thick stone or brick as shown by Figure 9, an H2068 hearth extension kit or a locally constructed equivalent to the H2068.
FLOOR PROTECTION The ability of insulating material to retard the transfer of heat may be expressed as either Thermal Conductance (C), Thermal Conductivity (K), or Thermal Resistance (R). The mathematical relationship of these values and the formulas for converting one value to another is as follows: C=K divided by the material thickness (Example C = .43 divided by 1/2 (.50) C = .86) K = C multiplies by the material thickness (Example K = .86 multiplied by 1/2 (.50) K = .

CHIMNEY CAP CHASE INSTALLATION The preinstalled chimney sections should be no more than 13 inches below the top of the chase. The installation should be planned so that either a two-foot or three-foot chimney section will be used for the top section. This is necessary to ensure complete engagement of the inlet air telescope and chimney cap into the top section. 1. Extend the chimney sections until the top of the chimney is not more than 13 inches below the top of the chase. 2.
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR PRECAUTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS NOTE: The use of outside air for combustion is optional unless required by building codes. It is only necessary to supply outside combustion air to one side of the fireplace. Use the model AK4 combustion air kit. FIGURE 21 SECURING OUTSIDE AIR STARTING COLLAR TO FIREPLACE INSULATION RING INSERT SHORTEST SIDE OF THE TUBE THROUGH THE FIREPLACE OUTER WRAP TO PROPERLY SEAL AGAINST FIREBOX WALL AND GASKET. LONGER LENGTH OF THE TUBE TO OUTSIDE.
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR PRECAUTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR RECOMMENDATIONS (CONTINUED) 1. Extremely long runs and numerous turns in the duct leading from the fireplace to the combustion air assembly should be avoided. These conditions will increase the resistance to the free flow of air through the duct. Refer to Figures 1, 21, and 22 for methods of installing the outside air for combustion assemblies. 2.
COMBUSTION AIR ASSEMBLY MODEL AK-4 COMBUSTION AIR ASSEMBLY 1. Remove the cover plate from the 4-inch outlet opening location on the left outside of the fireplace. DO NOT remove the cover if the outside air will not be connected. 2. Place the insulation ring between the AK-4 starting collar and fireplace wall and place the starting collar (4 inch) into the hole on the left side of the fireplace. Fasten it in place with the four sheet metal screws provided. 3.
GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLATION WARNING: Improper installation or operation of a gas appliance in this fireplace can allow unburned gas to leak out which will cause a fire or explosion hazard, or the release of poisonous carbon monoxide into the dwelling which can cause serious injury or death to its inhabitants. To reduce these risks to a minimum, the following important notices and instructions should be read and followed carefully. IMPORTANT NOTICES: 1.
GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLATION 7. Pack the insulation removed in step 4 around the pipe to prevent air flowing through the tube either into or out of the firebox. 8. Be sure the gas is turned off at the appliance, then turn the gas on at the cut off valve and test the gas line connections for leaks with soapy water solution or a liquid leak detector. DO NOT USE A MATCH OR OTHER FLAME SOURCE TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. If a gas leak is detected, turn the gas off immediately and fix the leak. 9.

NON-COMBUSTIBLE FACING MATERIAL USE ONLY NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS BELOW TOP OF SPACERS. FIREPLACE FACE FIGURE 24 STEEL LINTEL (OPTIONAL) CAUTION: DO NOT COVER OR RESTRICT SIDE VENT AREAS WITH SURROUND OR TRIM MATERIALS.
FIREPLACE OPERATION WARNING: If a decorative gas appliance is used in the fireplace the fireplace damper must be fixed in an open position. (See additional operation information in section titled “Operation Guidelines”.) ADVANTAGES OF A WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE These are the practical, ecological advantages of wood as a fuel. Also to be considered is the aesthetic appeal. Most of us consider a wood fire with nostalgia.
FIREPLACE OPERATION You’ll need a minimum of three logs, preferably four, to make a good fire. Add kindling and new logs as needed to rekindle a dying fire. New logs should be added at the rear grate after raking the coals toward the front. DO NOT OVERFIRE THE FIREPLACE. Overfire conditions may be created by large amounts of kindling, building scraps, or other improper fuels.
MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY FUEL STORAGE Wood can be dried sufficiently for burning within a few weeks if protected form rain in a low humidity area. It is far better to cut wood and allow it to dry for a year. In all cases, the wood should be stacked so that both ends of the sticks are exposed to the air and protected from rain. The drier the wood, the more usable heat produced by the fire and less likely rapid accumulation of soot and creosote within the chimney is to occur.
MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY FIREPLACE MAINTENANCE At the end of each heating season or when the fireplace will not be in use for an extended time, the ashes should be removed and the hearth area should be swept as clean as is practical. The slow absorption of moisture into the ashes over a long period of time could cause a condition which would be corrosive to the metal fireplace parts.
MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY 18. Do store your fuel supply at a distance equal to or greater than the spacing recommended for combustible materials from the fireplace. 19. Do build fires of moderate intensity in the fireplace for the first three fires to allow materials to adjust and cure before being subjected to the intense heat of a large fire. DONT’S 1. Don’t allow other installations or operation considerations to take priority over safety considerations. 2.
