house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation instructions and contact local building or fire officials

about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.

2. Never use gasoline or similar liquids to start a fire in this unit. Keep all such liquids well away from stove.

PAGE 7
BAFFLE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT 1. Remove manifold tubes and label each tube (example: front, middle, rear). NOTE: It is very important not to reverse the order of the tubes. 2. Remove firebrick. 3. Slide middle baffle onto front baffle. 4. Remove rear baffle by sliding to one side, then lift that side. The other side will then drop down. 5. Remove the middle baffle in the same way as the rear baffle was removed. 6.
PAGE 8
DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY The chimney must have a fire clay flue liner (or equivalent) with a minimum thickness of 5/8 (16mm) and must be installed with refractory mortar. There must be at least ½ (13mm) air space between the flue liner and the chimney wall (Figure 4). An equivalent liner must be a listed chimney liner system or other approved material. LATCH CAM NOTE: Spring handle not included in door handle assembly.
PAGE 9
MAINTENANCE Remember that insulation must not contact the chimney. There must be air space around the chimney. Insulation must be 2 (50mm) or more from the chimney (Figure 6). CREOSOTE 1. Formation and need for removal: When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a newly-started or a slow-burning fire.
PAGE 10
2. THIMBLE: An approved thimble must be used when the connection from the stove is made through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney. There are several methods you can use for connection through a combustible wall, two of which are illustrated in this manual. For additional methods, consult local building authorities or use the standards set forth in NFPA 211. Also, listed prefabricated metal thimbles are available for use with wood stoves.
PAGE 11
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont.) BLOWER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FIGURE 9 (see blower installation instructions on page 24) If your Quadra-Fire wood stove is equipped with an optional blower, you should follow these guidelines: 1. Initial (cold) start-up: Leave blower off until your stove is hot and a good coalbed is established. The blower may be turned on approximately 30 minutes after loading the stove with fuel. 2. High burn setting: The blower may be left on throughout the burn. 3.
PAGE 12
First, build the frame for the thimble, making sure that it is no smaller than 14½ (368mm) diameter, which will maintain a 2 (50mm) air space around the chimney section. Attach the wall spacer to the chimney side of the frame. Then insert the frame into the opening, toe-nailing it to the wall studs. Install the wall band in the framing to secure the chimney section in place.
