R VOYAGEUR Wood Insert B. Fire Safety To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration: 1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home to ensure your safety. They should be located away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly. 2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher. 3.
R VOYAGEUR Wood Insert 2. Second Stage F. Burning Process In recent years there has been an increasing concern about air quality. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order to improve the situation, we at Quadra-Fire have developed cleaner-burning wood appliances that surpass the requirements for emissions established by our governing agencies.
R VOYAGEUR Wood Insert G. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) Typically, when you build a fire, you open the air controls fully and monitor the fire to prevent it from going into an overfire situation and/or burning your wood up too quickly before you shut down the air controls to the desired burn rate. When using the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) system, you do not have to continually monitor the fire. Once you set the ACC system it will control the fire for you.
R VOYAGEUR Wood Insert I. Burn Rates and Operating Efficiency For maximum operating efficiency 1. Burn dry, well-seasoned wood. HIGH 2. Follow these burn rate instructions below and refer to Figure 11.1. Burn Rate Air Control *NOTE: These are guidelines.

R VOYAGEUR Wood Insert J. Correct Baffle & Blanket Placement INCORRECT POSITIONS WARNING Fire Risk Improper baffle placement may cause: • Overheating of firebox • Overheating the chimney Baffle must be placed properly (see instructions) Replace baffle if damaged or missing.

R VOYAGEUR Wood Insert M. Wood Fuel Moisture The majority of the problems appliance owners experience are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood. WARNING Fire Risk. • DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPTHA OR ENGINE OIL. • Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate the water instead of heating your home, and • Causes evaporating moisture which cools your chimney, accelerating formation of creosote. • DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START A FIRE.
R VOYAGEUR Wood Insert N. Blower Control Box & Snap Disc Operating Instructions 1. The blower will turn on/off automatically when set to AUTO. Figure 15.1. 2.

R VOYAGEUR Wood Insert 6 Installer’s Guide Getting Started A. Design and Installation Considerations B. Draft Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances successfully. When a appliance is drafting successfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the chimney. CAUTION Check building codes prior to installation. • Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.
R VOYAGEUR Wood Insert C. Negative Pressure WARNING Asphyxiation Risk. • Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes, soot and carbon monoxide. • Appliance needs to draft properly for safety. Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the appliance to operate properly. It can be strongest in lower levels of the house. Causes include: • Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.
R VOYAGEUR Wood Insert D. Locating Your Stove & Chimney • Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance. As shown in Figure 28.1 the chimney should: Consider the appliance location in order to avoid floor and ceiling attic joists and rafters. • Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions. • Install through the warm space enclosed by the building envelope.
R VOYAGEUR Wood Insert F. 2-10-3 Rule These are safety requirements and are not meant to assure proper flue draft. This appliance is made with a 6 inch (152mm) diameter chimney connector as the flue collar on the unit. • Changing the diameter of the chimney can affect draft and cause poor performance. • It is not recommended to use offsets and elbows at altitudes above 4000 feet above sea level and or when there are other factors that affect flue draft.
