PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION  
QUESTIONS TO ASK LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL  
A correct installation is critical and imperative for reduc-  
ing fire hazards and perilous conditions that can arise  
when wood burning appliances are improperly installed.  
The installer must follow all of the manufacturers’ in-  
structions.  
SMOKE DETECTORS  
Since there are always several potential sources of fire  
in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors.  
If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adja-  
cent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional  
false activation from the heat produced by the fireplace  
insert). If your local code requires a smoke detector be  
installed within the same room, you must follow the re-  
quirements of your local code. Check with your local  
building department for requirements in your area.  
The installation of a wood burning appliance must con-  
form to local codes and applicable state and federal re-  
quirements. Familiarity with these requirements before  
installation is essential. Important considerations to dis-  
cuss with local building officials include:  
1.  
Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical Code,  
State or Regional Codes.)?  
Electrical codes: The blower system has a flexi-  
ble electrical cord that must be electrically  
grounded per local codes or per electrical codes:  
In USA, NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987.  
In Canada, CSA C22.1  
WARNING - Electrical Grounding Instruc-  
tions: This appliance is equipped with a  
three-prong (grounding) plug for your  
protection against shock hazard and  
should be plugged directly into a properly  
grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not  
cut or remove the grounding prong from  
this plug.  
2. Local amendments?  
3. Is a permit required - cost?  
(You may wish to contact your insurance company to  
ask if they require this).  
4. Rooms where the installation is not allowed?

FLOOR PROTECTION  
The following formulas give the means of determining  
This appliance requires  
a
heat resistant non-  
minimum thickness required of alternate materials.  
combustible approved fireplace hearth or hearth exten-  
sion. If a hearth extension is used it must be a 3/8"  
(minimum) UL approved hearth pad or equivalent. If the  
floor protection is to be stone, tile, brick, etc., it must be  
mortared or grouted to form a continuous non-  
combustible surface (See Using Alternate Material As  
Floor Protector on this page).  
Using the k formula:

the front of the fuel door opening and 8" beyond both  
sides of the fuel door opening  
TM (inches) = 0.43* x 1”  
1.28  
HEARTH PROTECTION  
Answer using k = 0.34 x 1” = 0.34 = 3/8”  
3/8” thickness Micore will be required.  
Using the r formula:  
TM (inches) = 0.78 x TL

TM (inches) = 0.78 x 1”  
2.33*  
Answer using r = 0.34 x 1” = .034 = 3/8”  
3/8” thickness Micore will be required.  
At times it is important to know what combination of  
materials are acceptable for use as floor protection. The  
“R values” are used to determine acceptable combina-  
tions of materials because “R values” are additive where  
r and k values are not.  
USING ALTERNATE MATERIAL AS A FLOOR PROTEC-  
TOR/HEARTH EXTENSION  
The alternate material used as a hearth extension must  
be constructed of a durable noncombustible material  
having an equal or better insulating value (lower k value)  
of k = 1.28 BTU/IN FT2 HR °F or a thermal resistance  
that equals or exceeds r = 78 HR °F FT2 IN/BTU. With  
these values, determine the minimum thick-  
ness/material required using the formula and the table  
shown here (see chart - Alternative Floor Protection  
Materials).

greater thickness of the material used. In some cases, if  
the k value is less or the r value higher, a thinner mate-  
rial may be used.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION  
CHIMNEY INSPECTION  
The existing fireplace should be inspected by a local fire  
marshal or qualified installer for adequate serviceability  
prior to installing this appliance.  
Factory built fireplace: If any portion of the chimney  
system shows signs of structural or mechanical weak-  
nesses, such as: cracks, leaky joints, corroded or  
warped surfaces. Look for obvious bulges in the lining,  
which may indicate the need to replace that section  
(use a bright flashlight. Any faulty portion must be re-  
paired or replaced prior to installing this appliance.  
Also, inspect the attic to see that the chimney has  
proper clearance to combustible framing members.  
Masonry fireplace: The chimney should have no  
cracks, loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, or  
blockage. Any necessary repairs should be done by a  
qualified mason.  
DRAFT REQUIREMENTS  
The appliance is merely one component of a larger sys-  
tem. The other equally important component is the vent-  
ing system. This is necessary for achieving the required  
flow of combustion air to the fire chamber and for safely  
removing unwanted combustion byproducts from the ap-  
pliance. If the venting system's design does not promote  
these ends, the system may not function properly. Poorly  
functioning venting systems may create performance  
problems as well as be a safety hazard (i.e. an oversized  
chimney may result in less than optimum performance.  
Installations into a large, masonry chimney may require a  
liner to improve performance). A draft test should read  
greater than .04' W.C. (inches water column) and less  
than .08" W.C.  
If the existing fireplace flue system is dirty or has some  
obstruction in it, clean it. A dirty chimney can cause your  
insert to smoke when refueling, and can result in a chim-  
ney fire. An oversized chimney may result in less than  
optimum performance. Installations into a large masonry  
chimney may require a liner to improve performance.  
CLEARANCES  
WARNING: It is very important that you observe the  
minimum clearances.  
There are listed clearances for your fireplace insert which  
were determined in a laboratory testing and must be  
maintained.  
VENTILATION  
Ventilation is essential when using a solid burning appli-  
ance. The combustion process uses oxygen from inside  
the home and it may be necessary to open a window in a  
house that is well insulated.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION  
MASONRY FIREPLACES  
FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES  
This appliance is approved for installation into a masonry  
fireplace built to UBC Chapter 37 standards. Do not remove  
brick or mortar form the masonry fireplace to accommodate  
this appliance.  
This appliance is approved for installation into a listed factory  
built solid fuel burning fireplace. The fireplace firebox must  
accept the insert without modification other than re-  
moving bolted or screwed together pieces such as  
smoke shelf/deflectors, ash lips, screen or door tracks  
and damper assemblies, that must be reinstalled to re-  
store the fireplace to its original operating condition if  
the insert is removed and not replaced. The removal of  
any part must not alter the integrity or outer shell of the  
pre-engineered fireplace cabinet in any way.  
Venting Requirements for masonry fireplace:  
The fireplace damper must be secured in the open position.  
As a minimum, a flue extension past the fireplace header is  
required. A preferred installation is a positive flue connection  
(sealing the throat of the chimney). This appliance requires  
the use of a 6” diameter flex or rigid single wall pipe,  
minimum 24/25 MSG black or blued steel connector  
pipe (stainless steel recommended). Offsets can be han-  
dled with an offset adapter (it aligns starter pipe with fireplace  
flue). For more information on the offset adapter, see pages  
9 and 25.  
Venting Requirements for factory built fireplace:  
The fireplace damper must be secured in the open position.  
This appliance requires the use of a 6” diameter flex or  
rigid, UL1777 listed 2100° HT liner or equivalent. The  
liner must extend from the flue outlet of the appliance to  
termination. Do not face seal over fireplace chimney  
cooling air systems. Offsets can be handled with an offset  
adapter (it aligns starter pipe with fireplace flue). For more  
information on the offset adapter, see pages 9 and 25.  
FIREPLACE CHIMNEY MAXIMUM SIZE TO ENSURE  
PROPER DRAFT  
The fireplace insert flue size is 6 inches diameter, which  
is approximately 28 square inches, the minimum. The  
maximum flue size should be no more than (3) three  
times the cross sectional area of the size of the fireplace  
insert flue collar. In this case, that would be no larger  
than a 10 inch diameter stack (area = approx. 85 sq.  
inches).  
WARNING: Do not substitute the heat rated  
2100°HT liner with any other type line or a fire  
may result causing property damage, personal  
injury or loss of life.  
Note: Formulas for calculating area:  
Calculating area of a circle:  
π
x r2 = Area (π = 3.1416, r = 1/2 diameter)  
To calculate area of square or rectangle:  
Width x Depth = Area  
Notes:  
!
It may be necessary to use a full-length liner to  
achieve adequate draft for the appliance. A draft  
gauge should read more than .04 W.C.I, but less  
than .08 W.C.I. for optimum performance.  
This appliance is approved for all heatform style  
fireplaces (masonry fireplace with a metal fire-  
box liner).

CATALYTIC TEMPERATURE PROBE  
Install temperature probe prior to installing insert.  
To install the Catalytic Temperature Probe locate the  
plug on the top, right-hand side of the bypass control  
rod. Remove the plug, install the sleeve, and place  
probe in sleeve. It may be necessary to bend the  
flange on the plug so it won't interfere with the probe  
temperature indicator.  
The Catalytic Temperature Probe is provided so you  
can monitor the temperature of your Catalytic Com-  
bustor. Once you have established a fire and the  
Catalytic Temperature Probe indicates the tempera-  
ture of your Catalytic Combustor is between 500° -  
600° F (approximately 20 - 25 minutes) close the By-  
pass Damper Control. Depending on the type and size  
of the fuel load as well as the length of time the stove  
has been burning, your Catalytic Combustor should  
operate between 1000 - 1800° F.

INSTALLATION  
cluded with the hardware) located at the sides of the  
insert clockwise until insert is level. The leveling  
bolts should be 3/8" in diameter and about three  
inches in length.  
INSTALLATION STEPS  
1.Remove all ashes from the fireplace.  
2.Remove all materials inside the insert and set them aside.  
3.Remove the three-piece surround assembly (face shield)  
and attach insulation material provided using a nonflam-  
mable adhesive (i.e. RTV Silicone, rated 570° F).  
4.Use a large piece of cardboard or other protective material  
and place it in front of the fireplace to protect floor or carpet  
during installation.  
5.Remove the insert from its wood pallet by removing the  
screws.  
6.Prepare chimney connection system as specified for ma-  
sonry or factory built fireplaces.  
7.Set the insert on the protective cardboard laid out in front of  
the fireplace centered in front of the fireplace opening.  
8.(Masonry Fireplace) Slide insert into the fireplace far  
enough to attach the starter pipe or positive flue connection  
(a minimum of a 6" starter pipe extending past the header  
is required). See * note.  
12. Reaching over the top of the insert, install the starter  
pipe in the stove flue, or attach the positive flue  
connection to the insert. See * Note.  
9.(Factory Built Fireplace) Slide insert into the fireplace far  
enough to attach connector to flue outlet. See * note.  
10.Offsets can be handled using an offset adapter (it aligns  
starter pipe with flue. See Offset Adapter, page 25 for or-  
dering information). Do not push insert in completely until  
surround assembly is installed. Care should be used to  
ensure that this adjustable connector is oriented so it does  
not angle downhill when positioned on the flue outlet on  
top of insert.  
11. If the floor of the fireplace is lower than the hearth,  
turn the adjusting bolts secured with 2 nuts (not in-

INSTALLATION  
SURROUND ASSEMBLY  
NOTE: Do not face seal over chimney cooling air  
system on superior brand or any brand fireplace  
which is designed with the chimney cooling air sys-  
tem.  
13. Pull the insert slightly forward to its desired position;  
attach the face shield using the surround clips and  
hardware as shown. The fiberglass insulation strips  
should be secured along the top and sides (step 3).  
Assemble the gold-tone trim using the 2 inside cor-  
ner brackets. Attach trim to the face shield and  
stove.  
Push the unit back until face shield insulation is com-  
pressed against the fireplace front, forming a tight seal.  
Test for air leaks by holding a candle around edge  
of face shield to see if smoke is pulled into fire-  
place.  
* Note: Preferred method of attaching connector to flue  
outlet is to install two L-Brackets (1” angle bracket, 3/4”  
wide) on opposite sides of the flue outlet: Use self-  
tapping screws to secure in place. Cut a ½” (height) and  
¾” (width) notch in the front of connector (pipe, liner or  
adapter that will attach to flue outlet). Install connector  
into flue outlet and secure to angle brackets using ma-  
chine screws. Seal around connection with furnace ce-  
ment.

INSTALLATION  
POSITIVE FLUE CONNECTION FOR MASONRY FIRE-  
PLACE  
This can be achieved by using a filler plate. A filler plate can  
be made by making a cardboard pattern to fit the fireplace  
throat. Lay the pattern on 22 gage steel, add 2 inches to each  
side, and cut. Snip corners and bend front lip up and sides  
and back down. Cut an opening for the flue. Attach filler plate  
with masonry screws.  
A Professional should inspect chimney prior to installation to  
determine if any repairs are necessary or if a chimney reline  
is necessary.  
The fireplace damper must be secured in the open position.  
If this is not possible, it will be necessary to remove the  
damper. Installation into a masonry fireplace requires as a  
minimum of a flue extension past the header. This can be  
accomplished by one of the following methods:  
Install 6" smoke pipe if the chimney is located directly  
above the insert flue  
The starter pipe extends through the filler plate, past the  
damper and into the chimney system. Small air leaks  
should be sealed with high temp fiberglass or ceramic  
insulation.  
(Or) Install 6" flex pipe to achieve the same result.  
Use an offset adapter (see page 25) to handle offsets. This  
part is available through your dealer.  
A preferable installation is the positive flue connection (a  
positive seal between the flue extension and the chimney).

PROCUCT FEATURES AND CONTROLS  
ASH DRAWER  
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL  
The large ash drawer located below the fuel door is designed  
to make cleaning easier by containing the ashes in a remov-  
able drawer.  
The primary combustion air delivery is controlled by the pri-  
mary air control draft module (The control handle is located  
above the fuel door). The heat output can be controlled by  
sliding the handle to a higher or lower heat output setting  
(see following illustrations). The fuel, the amount of heat and  
burn times desired, the type of installation are all variables  
that will affect the control setting. The same control settings  
in a variety of installations will produce different results. You  
will need to try different settings so you can learn how much  
heat to expect and how long the fire will burn.  
Lower Higher  
CAUTION: Do not operate the stove with the ash dump  
cover off, as this will produce extreme temperatures  
within the stove (overfiring) and could cause damage to  
the appliance or other property (such damage is not  
covered by the manufacturers warranty). Replace the  
ash dump gasket if it becomes frayed or damaged.  
BLOWER SYSTEM  
The 250-CFM room air circulation blower system comes  
equipped with a variable speed control (rheostat). The  
blower system can be operated manually or set to operated  
automatically (so the blowers will turn on when the insert is  
hot and turn off when the insert is cool). See Care and Op-  
eration Section – Blower System on page 15.  
CATALYTIC BYPASS DAMPER CONTROL  
The bypass damper control handle is located on the front of  
the insert (see above illustration). By pushing in or pulling out  
the handle, the operator can route the exhaust either through  
the catalytic combustor (pushed in) or directly up the flue  
(pulled out). When starting a fire or refueling, the handle  
should be pulled out. Once the fire is established it should be  
pushed in.  
CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR  
How it works: From 5 to 30 percent of the chemical energy  
contained in every log escapes up the chimney when wood  
is burned in a conventional stove. The catalytic combustor is  
designed to make use of this energy, converting it into useful  
heat as it lessens chimney creosote build-up and air pollu-  
tion. The catalytic combustor consists of a durable tempera-  
ture resistant ceramic composition, which is extruded into a  
cellular, or honeycomb, configuration. After extrusion, this  
ceramic monolith is fired and then covered with a noble-  
metal catalyst. When wood smoke contacts this catalyst,  
chemical changes occur that causes the smoke to ignite at  
temperatures around 600° F. Normally, smoke will ignite and  
burn only at temperatures around 1000° F.

CARE AND OPERATION  
FUEL DOOR  
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL  
This appliance is equipped with a control for the combus-  
tion air, located above the fuel door. Sliding the control to  
the right increases the burn rate, to the left decreases the  
burn rate.  
CAUTION: When opening the door, do not extend it  
beyond its normal travel. Overextending the door to a  
further open position can put excessive stress on  
hinge area of door and hinge pins and may result in  
breakage.  
You will generally want to set the control in the low or  
medium range. The fireplace insert is safe burning on any  
setting as long as combustibles are kept at the specified  
safe distances.  
Lower Higher  
DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY  
The door handle assembly opens and securely latches  
the fuel door closed. To open the door, rotate the coil  
handle to the 9:00 position until door releases. To close  
and latch, hold the coil handle in the 9:00 position, close  
the door, then rotate the handle to the 6:00 position. See  
illustration above.  
GLASS  
The Glass is a super heat resistant ceramic that with-  
stands continuous temperatures up to 1390° F. This tem-  
perature is well beyond the temperatures in which you  
operate your fireplace insert.  
PROVIDE ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION  
In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may be diffi-  
cult to establish a good draft up your chimney. The poor  
draft is caused by a shortage of air in the house. To pro-  
vide the needed air, crack a window on the windward side  
of the house.  
This unit is designed to provide a flow of air over the in-  
side of the glass, where along with high heat helps keep it  
clean. When operating the fireplace insert on low for  
extended periods of time, the glass may get dirty.  
A
USE CONTROL SETTINGS THAT WORK FOR YOU  
The fuel, the amount of heat you want, the type of instal-  
lation you have and how long you wish the fire to burn are  
all variables that will affect the control setting. The same  
control settings in a variety of installations will produce  
different results.  
short, hot fire (15 - 20 minutes) will help clean off much of  
the normal buildup (see Troubleshooting). A commercial  
glass cleaner designed for fireplace inserts is recom-  
mended for cleaning.  
The glass should be cleaned thoroughly with glass  
cleaner and a soft cloth BEFORE the fireplace insert  
is burned.  
Familiarize yourself with your fireplace insert by trying  
different settings so you can learn how much heat to ex-  
pect and how long the fire will burn. It may take a week or  
two to learn but your patience will be rewarded by the  
warmth and pleasant satisfaction that only a wood fire  
can provide.  
DOOR GASKET  
The door gasket must be kept in good condition. Do not  
leave the stove burning with the door ajar or open. Leav-  
ing the door ajar or open while the stove is burning will  
cause excessive heat build up in the stove (overfiring)  
and could ignite surrounding combustibles as well as  
damage the stove (such damage is not covered by the  
manufacturers warranty).

CARE AND OPERATION  
BREAK-IN PERIOD  
When refueling a hot stove with the catalyst still operating,  
no refiring step is necessary. Just open the bypass, set the  
primary air control to high, open the door approximately 1/2  
inch, and wait for about thirty seconds. Load the fuel, close  
the door, close the bypass and set the primary air control to  
normal operation. Temperatures within the firebox should  
be hot enough to maintain the catalytic operation.  
Your fireplace insert finish is a high temperature paint that  
requires time and temperature to completely cure. We rec-  
ommend that you ventilate the house during the initial  
burns. The paint emits non-toxic odors during this process.  
KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED DURING THE  
CURING PROCESS TO PREVENT ACTIVATION OF  
YOUR HOME SMOKE DETECTOR.  
HOW TO START AND MAINTAIN A FIRE  
1. Check to ensure the ash dump cover (in center of fire-  
box floor) is in place and the ash drawer is closed.  
2. Open the bypass damper control by pulling it out (to-  
ward you). In the "OPEN" position the draft air will by-  
pass the catalytic combustor and make starting the fire  
easier.  
3. Set the primary air control lever on "HIGH". The  
"HIGH" setting will maximize your primary combustion  
air.  
The paint manufacturer recommends three burn cycles to  
cure the paint. The first two burns should be low heat, ap-  
proximately 250°F., for 20 minutes each, using paper and  
light kindling.  
After each 20-minute burn, allow the appliance to cool  
completely. The third burn should be at least medium high  
or about 450°F. for 45 - 60 minutes. The paint will become  
soft and emit non-toxic haze during these burns. Keep the  
area well ventilated.  
4. Build a fire directly on the firebrick covering the bottom  
of the stove.  
a. Place five or six loosely crumpled sheets of news-  
paper in the stove.  
b. Add a small amount of dry kindling randomly on  
the top of the newspaper.  
c. Place a few more loosely crumpled newspapers  
on top of the kindling and light the bottom paper  
first, then light the top paper. Once the kindling is  
ignited and burning on its own, close the fuel door.  
The upper fire should help preheat the chimney  
and create an effective draft while the lower fire ig-  
nites the kindling.  
As the paint cures it will become slightly lighter in color.  
Eventually the entire surface will become an even color.  
Once the paint has been softened and cooled two or  
three times, it will harden. Do not turn on a blower during  
the curing process. Do not place anything on the fire-  
place insert surface until the paint is completely cured.  
Do not attempt to repaint the fireplace insert until the  
paint is completely cured. If the surface later becomes  
stained or marred, it may be lightly sanded and touched  
up with spray paint from the same paint manufacturer  
(See Maintenance – Small Area Paint Touch-up). Paint is  
available at your local authorized Lennox Hearth Products  
dealer. Never attempt to paint a hot stove.  
5. When the kindling is burning well, add increasingly  
larger pieces of wood until the fire is actively burning.  
6. When the fire is well established, use the damper  
hook and close the bypass by pushing the control rod  
in (catalytic temperature probe should read 500-  
600°F, takes approximately 20 - 25 minutes to reach  
this temperature).  
CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR  
During the start-up of a cold stove, a medium to high firing  
rate must be maintained for about 20 minutes. The high  
firing rate will ensure that the stove, the flue, the catalyst,  
and the fuel are all stabilized at proper operating tempera-  
tures. Even though it's possible to have temperatures in the  
stove reach 600°F. within two or three minutes after the fire  
is started, do not set the primary air control lever to the  
"LOW" position until approximately twenty minutes have  
passed. Setting the primary air control on "LOW" too early  
could result in either the fire or the catalytic combustor go-  
ing out.  
7. When the fire is well-established slide the air control  
lever for the desired heat output.  
REFUELING  
To refuel the stove, open the bypass and move the primary  
air control to "HIGH". Let the fire "LIVEN UP" for about one  
minute. Open the fuel door about 1/2" and hold in this posi-  
tion about 30 seconds or until the stove is drafting well.  
Open the door and add wood. After refueling, reset the  
primary draft control to the desired position, and close the  
bypass when the catalytic temperature probe reaches op-  
erating temperatures.  
At the end of a burn cycle, it's possible that the hot embers  
remaining might not provide sufficient fuel value for the  
catalyst to retain its minimum operating temperature of  
600°F. During the refueling, we recommend that the stove  
be refired for about 10 minutes with the bypass open to  
ensure a good draw is established and that the catalyst  
reaches 600° F. The refiring will ensure sufficient tem-  
peratures and proper amounts of volatiles for the catalyst  
to operate properly.

CARE AND OPERATION  
BLOWER SYSTEM  
WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a blower  
system which has a flexible electrical power cord  
with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protec-  
tion against shock hazard and should be plugged  
directly into a properly grounded three-prong recep-  
tacle per local codes or NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest  
edition. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong  
from the power cord plug.  
The Blower System consists of a ON/OFF rocker  
switch, a variable speed blower speed control switch  
(rheostat), a thermally activated switch (fan disc) and 2  
axial blowers.  
When starting a fire, leave the blower system off until  
the insert is thoroughly heated (approx. 30 minutes after  
start up).  
BLOWER SPECIFICATIONS: 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 2 axial  
blowers - .42 amps each, 125 CFM each. Blower sys-  
tem has a flexible electrical cord that must be electrically  
grounded per local codes or NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest  
edition. Do not route the power cord under or in front of  
the appliance.  
The blowers can be operated in one of the following  
manners:  
AUTO: Turn Rocker Switch to the OFF "o" position  
and the rheostat to the ON position (rotate rheostat  
dial clockwise until it clicks). When the insert warms  
up (110° F), the blower will automatically turn on (ad-  
just rheostat dial to the desired speed setting). When  
the insert cools down (90° F), the blowers will auto-  
matically turn off.  
MANUAL: Turn Rocker Switch to the ON "-" position  
and adjust rheostat dial to the desired speed. The  
Blower will have to be manually turned off by rotating  
the rheostat dial counterclockwise until it clicks.  
CAUTION: Burning the insert at a high burn rate for  
extended periods without running the blowers can  
cause excessive temperatures resulting in overfir-  
ing damage to the appliance. Excessive heat will  
cause the propellers on the blowers to melt. If this  
occurs, replace propellers and review these instruc-  
tions for proper operation (Propeller Part/Catalog  
#410-25-3. Some people prefer metal propellers,  
which are available through Grainger, stock #2C953.  
Be advised that these are noisier than standard  
plastic blades). Overfiring damage is not covered  
under the 5 year prorated warranty.

CARE AND OPERATION  
BYPASS DAMPER CONTROL  
The operating handle of your bypass damper control is lo-  
cated on the front of the stove flue collar. By moving the by-  
pass damper control, the operator can route the fire either  
through the catalytic combustor (pushed in) or directly up the  
flue (pulled out). When starting a fire or refueling, the bypass  
damper control should be pulled out. Once the fire is estab-  
lished, it should be pushed in.  
CATALYTIC TEMPERATURE PROBE  
The catalytic temperature probe monitors the tempera-  
ture of your catalytic combustor. Once you have estab-  
lished a fire and the catalytic temperature probe indi-  
cates the temperature of your catalytic combustor.  
When it reaches a temperature between 500 to 600 de-  
grees (approximately 20 - 25 minutes), close the bypass  
damper control. Depending on the type and size of the  
fuel load as well as the length of time the stove has  
been burning, your catalytic combustor should operate –  
between 1000 to 1800 degrees.  
When the blower is operating it will affect the temperature  
probe reading. Turn the blower off for an accurate reading.

MAINTENANCE  
BURN RECOMMENDED FUEL  
SMALL AREA PAINT TOUCH-UP  
This appliance is approved for use with natural dry wood  
only. Burning materials other than natural wood will shorten  
the life of the catalytic combustor. Do not burn particleboard  
or pressed logs using bonding agents as they can produce  
conditions which will deteriorate metal or damage the cata-  
lyst. Green or uncured wood does not work well as fuel, and  
can cause increased creosote buildups and plugging of the  
catalytic combustor. The value of green wood as a source of  
heat is limited. Do not overload or use kindling wood or mill  
ends for primary fuel as this may cause overfiring. Overfiring  
is a condition where excessive temperatures are reached,  
beyond the design capabilities of the fireplace insert. The  
damage that occurs from overfiring is not covered under the  
fireplace insert warranty.  
The stove body is painted with a quality high-temperature  
stove paint. Use only model TSPK-B Stove Paint, Catalog  
# 70K99. Do not touch-up your stove with any other paint.  
Using one small piece of 320 grit sand paper and lightly  
sand the blemish so that the edges are “feathered” or  
smooth to the touch between the painted and bare sur-  
faces. Do not let the sand paper gum up with paint, as  
this will cause scratches on the metal surface. If there are  
any scratches, use 600 grit sandpaper instead. Mask off  
surfaces you do not want painted. Paint lightly over the  
bare surface first as this will act as an undercoat. Then  
paint over a larger area in smooth even strokes to blend.  
See Break-In Period on page 14 for information on  
curing the paint.  
WHY SEASON WOOD?  
The key to the success of a good fire that produces heat  
from a wood burning insert is the wood. It needs to be well-  
seasoned natural wood.  
FIREBRICK  
The firebrick should be inspected periodically and re-  
placed if damaged (crumbling or excessively cracked).  
What does “Well-Seasoned” mean?  
ASH REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL  
When a tree is cut down, the wood is green, full of sap and  
moisture. This moisture content can exceed 80%, which  
must be reduced to less than 20%. Wood properly seasoned  
is then capable of generating the heat the fireplace insert  
was designed to provide.  
CAUTION: Make sure that the fire is out and the  
stove is cold before removing ashes! Never burn  
your stove with the ash dump cover off!  
Ashes can hold live embers for several days, and must  
be disposed of with care.  
Green wood does not burn easily. Attempting to burn green  
wood often results in a lot of smoke and very little fire. Time  
is the most important factor in seasoning wood. Ideally the  
moisture content should be reduced to 11-20%, although  
very few of us will be able to check that figure. There are  
several steps that should be taken to ensure that that you  
come close to these figures.  
Scrape ashes from the firebox through the ash dump  
opening into the ash drawer. After emptying, clean and  
replace the ash drawer.  
NEVER place ashes in a cardboard box or any other  
combustible receptacle.  
Proper Disposal of Ashes:  
SEASONING GUIDE  
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight  
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed  
on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away  
from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If  
the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or other wise  
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed  
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.  
Softwoods – 6 months to 18 months  
Hardwoods – 12 months to 24 months  
Logs that are 5” diameter across or larger should be split in  
half, three pieces if over 8 inches, and four pieces when over  
a foot across. If the tree was fell 2 to 4 years ago, it still  
needs to be cut, split, and seasoned for 6 to 24 months de-  
pending on the wood.  
WOOD STORAGE  
Wood to be seasoned should be stacked in an area open  
enough to ensure good air circulation on both sides – leaving  
adequate space between woodpiles to walk comfortable. Do  
not stack wood against a wall or building. It helps to elevate  
the woodpiles off the ground (two 2 x 4’s running lengthwise  
beneath the woodpile works well). This allows air to flow un-  
der the bottom logs.  
Wood that is kept outdoors, either covered with a tarp, or not  
covered at all, will not burn well until it has been in an en-  
close space for one to two months.

MAINTENANCE  
DOOR/GLASS GASKET AND ASH DUMP GASKET  
A 3/4" spun fiberglass gasket provides the seal around  
the fuel door and a flat spun fiberglass rope gasket (1/8”  
x 1”) provides the seal around the glass. A cerawool pad  
(4 1/4” x 4 1/4” x 1/2”) provides the seal for the ash dump  
cover. Should these gaskets become frayed or damaged,  
they should be replaced with the same size and type as  
the original gasket. Contact your dealer for ordering. Use  
high temperature silicone sealer as an adhesive for re-  
placing door and ash dump gaskets. The glass gasket  
has a self-adhesive backing.  
To inhibit the build up of creosote, adjust the primary air  
control to a medium-high or high setting for a 10-minute pe-  
riod each day. Do not attempt to burn out heavy creosote  
accumulations in this manner. This must be removed from  
the chimney by scraping or brushing to reduce the risk of a  
chimney fire.  
Burn Approved Fuel Only - This stove is approved for  
burning dry seasoned natural wood only. Using green or  
inadequately seasoned wood may increase creosote  
buildup.  
Inspection Frequency - The chimney connector and  
chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly dur-  
ing the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup  
has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be  
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.  
Cleaning - Remove the catalytic combustor and open the  
bypass damper prior to having your chimney cleaned  
(should be done by a qualified chimney sweep). See  
Maintenance, Catalytic Combustor, on page 19 for in-  
structions on removing catalytic combustor.  
WARNING: The gaskets must be kept in good condition.  
Do not leave the stove burning with the door or ash dump  
cover off. This will cause excessive heat build up in the unit  
and could ignite surrounding combustibles as well as  
damage the stove by overfiring it. Overfiring is a condition  
where excessive temperatures are reached, beyond the  
design capabilities of the stove (such damage is not cov-  
ered by the manufacturer's warranty).  
SERVICING GLASS  
IMPORTANT: Make sure the bypass damper is in the  
open position prior to chimney cleaning.  
CAUTION: Be careful not to abuse door assembly by  
striking or slamming it. If the door assembly or glass is  
broken or damaged, they must be replaced before  
heater can be safely operated. Use only components  
provided by the manufacturer as replacement parts.  
In the event of a chimney fire - Make sure the fuel door is  
securely closed. Adjust the primary air control to the lowest  
(most closed) setting. Call the fire department immediately.  
After a chimney fire, the complete chimney system should be  
checked by a qualified technician before further use.  
Cleaning Glass: Ensure stove is cold prior to cleaning glass.  
A commercial glass cleaner designed for stoves is recom-  
mended. Do not use abrasive cleaners.  
Consult your dealer for suggestions on proper chimney care.  
Contact your local municipal or provincial fire authority for  
information on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a clearly  
understood plan for handling a chimney fire.  
Replacing Glass:  
1. Remove door from stove by lifting door up and off hinge  
pins: Place the door on a flat protected (towel) clean flat  
surface with the inside of the door facing up. Remove the  
glass clips (by removing screws holding clips), then  
carefully remove broken glass one piece at a time (pro-  
tective gloves are recommended).  
2. Clean area where the glass with gasket will be installed.  
3. Install new glass with gasket (use only factory 5-mm  
glass with glass channel gasket. Do not substitute).  
Carefully reinstall glass clips. Be very careful not to  
overtighten screws.  
CATALYST REPLACEMENT  
The normal expected life of a catalytic combustor is  
10,000 to 12,000 hours (if appliance is operated correctly  
and proper fuels are used). If the catalyst has been deac-  
tivated, it should be replaced. Symptoms of deactivation  
include – noticeably darker smoke exiting chimney and  
less heat output. If these symptoms remain after normal  
maintenance or a major cleaning (soak in heated vine-  
gar/water solution, see page 19), the catalyst probably  
needs replacement. Also, if the catalyst is broken and/or  
missing large pieces, it should be replaced.  
4. Reinstall door.  
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL  
What is Creosote - When wood is burned slowly, it pro-  
duces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with ex-  
pelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors con-  
dense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning  
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue  
lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot  
fire. Also, creosote deposits tend to form in long runs of  
venting where gases become too cool prior to exhausting.  
Note: Single wall pipe cools rapidly, therefore installations  
using this type of flue are more susceptible to creosote de-  
posits.  
Note: The catalyst does not need to be glowing to be  
working. It will glow at times, but it can work very effec-  
tively at temperatures well below the 1000° F level at  
which it will begin to glow.  
CLEANING BLOWERS  
The blowers require inspection and cleaning annually to  
remove lint, dust, etc. If there are pets in the dwelling, the  
blowers should be cleaned at least twice a year To ac-  
cess, remove blower cover (remove the two ¼” hex head  
screws), then inspect propellers (replace if cracked, bro-  
ken or melted) and vacuum out lint, dust, and debris.

MAINTENANCE  
CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR  
This appliance has been designed with a catalytic com-  
bustor, which will improve its overall performance. Re-  
moving the combustor assembly for cleaning and rein-  
stallation is simple and convenient. Cleaning the com-  
bustor helps reduce buildup of ash and retarding chemi-  
cals. To clean the combustor, a soft brush, vacuum  
cleaner, or pipe cleaner may be used.  
Cleaning the combustor once a year, preferably when  
your flue system is serviced, is sufficient for most users.  
Reinstall the combustor according to the following in-  
structions.  
The catalytic activity and effectiveness of a two to three  
year old combustor can be improved by following this  
Major Cleaning Procedure - Soak the combustor in a hot  
cleaning solution of a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and  
distilled water for 30 minutes. Then rinse by soaking in  
hot distilled water. After 15 minutes, remove the com-  
bustor from the rinse water and gently shake out excess  
water. It is unlikely that you will notice a visible differ-  
ence in the combustor after this cleaning procedure.  
The combustor unit is fragile in comparison to the rest of  
the stove, so handle with care.  
1. Place the combustor on the tunnel baffle as shown in  
illustration (ceramic honeycomb to the back and lou-  
vered slots to the front). Push it back into the tunnel  
baffle until it hits the positioning stops. Make sure it  
is sitting flat against the bottom and the sides so that  
it does not tilt forward and jump the positioning  
stops.  
2. Position combustor clip over the middle of the sec-  
ondary air tube as illustrated. Make sure that one of  
the holes in the secondary air tube is centered in the  
1/2" hole on the clip. You can feel with your fingertip.  
3. Tighten screw snugly, but do not over-tighten or you  
may spread the clip apart.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
*
SMOKES OUT FUEL DOOR WHEN OPEN  
*
BACKPUFFING  
1. The primary air control is closed.  
1. Downdraft in the chimney (may need a special  
wind cap).  
2. The catalytic combustor is too hot (avoid burning  
soft, pitchy woods, or large amounts of small-  
diameter wood).  
2. The chimney is too cool. Set the primary air control  
on "HIGH" with the bypass damper control "OPEN"  
for a few minutes before opening the fuel door.  
3. Excess creosote will not only restrict your draft but it  
will create a risk of a creosote fire. Strictly adhere to  
maintenance requirements as outlined in this man-  
ual. If excess creosote has built up on the inside of  
the firebox sides and door, burn a small hot fire at  
intervals that are more frequent with air control on  
HIGH for a few minutes.  
3
The house is too air tight (ventilation is needed).  
4. Insufficient vertical height to chimney to achieve  
adequate draft.  
ODORS  
1. Creosote accumulation in firebox (brush out on  
next cleaning).  
2. Chimney downdraft when stove is not operating  
(close primary air control).  
3. Catalytic combustor not functioning.  
4. Paint curing on first several burns.  
4. Deposits may have built up in the chimney and are  
restricting the draft, or the spark arrester on top of  
the chimney may be plugged.  
5. Chimney diameter too large or too small to provide  
adequate draft.  
6. The house is too airtight (usually takes 20 to 30 min-  
utes for problem to appear as stove lowers air pres-  
sure in house). Crack a window open or provide an  
outside source of air near insert.  
7. Insufficient vertical height to chimney to achieve  
adequate draft.  
*
DIRTY GLASS  
1. Poor draft conditions.  
2. Long burn periods at low draft settings.  
3. Burning wet, pitchy or spongy wood.  
4. Poorly arranged logs (too close to glass).  
8. The combustor is plugged from engaging too soon  
(remove combustor and clean, see Maintenance  
section, page 19).  
*
Draft problems; If installing into a larger flue,  
it may be necessary to use a full length liner  
to achieve adequate draft for the appliance. A  
draft gauge should read a minimum of .05"  
w.c. (inches water column) not to exceed .07"  
w.c. for optimum performance (see draft re-  
quirements, page 6).  
*
DOES NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH HEAT  
1. Using green or insufficiently cured wood.  
2. Excessive draft.  
3. High ceilings (heat rises quickly, but can be recircu-  
lated by a well-placed ceiling fan with a win-  
ter/summer switch).  
4. The area to heat, is too large (square foot heating  
estimates are based on "average" climates and  
home design.)  
5. There's an obstruction in the chimney.  
6. The chimney or chimney cap is restricted by creosote  
preventing enough draw to sustain a "HIGH" heat  
rate.  
7. Combustor light off has not occurred.  
*
DOES NOT MAINTAIN A FIRE  
1. Soft wood does not burn as long or as well as sea-  
soned hardwood resulting in a short burn time.  
2. Wood size too small. Burns at too rapid a rate.  
3. The gasket seal on the fuel door, ash dump cover or  
glass is leaking air. Repair or replace it if necessary.  
4. There is an obstruction in the chimney.  
5. The stove was not up to normal operating tempera-  
ture before the bypass damper control was pushed  
closed.  
6. Excessive draft.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
CATALYST PLUGGING  
Overfiring of a fireplace insert is a condition where ex-  
cessive temperatures are reached, beyond the design  
capabilities of the appliance. The damage that occurs  
from overfiring is not covered under the manufacturers  
limited warranty. The following are a few conditions that  
should be evaluated and (corrected if necessary) if an  
overfiring condition is suspected:  
1. Burning materials that produce a lot of char and fly ash.  
Do not burn materials such as garbage, gift wrap, card-  
board, etc.  
2. Burning wet pitchy woods or burning large loads of small  
diameter wood with the combustor in the operation posi-  
tion (without light-off taking place). Burn proper fuel only.  
Do not close bypass until temperatures are high enough  
to initiate light off.  
Overfiring Caused From Improper Installation  
The venting system must satisfy the draft Requirements  
of the appliance. The appliance is merely one component  
of a larger system. The other equally important compo-  
nent is the venting system, which is necessary for  
achieving the required flow of combustion air to the fire  
chamber and for safely removing unwanted combustion  
byproducts from the appliance. If the venting system’s de-  
sign does not promote these ends, the system may not  
function properly, which may create performance prob-  
lems as well as may be a safety hazard. To ensure that all  
installation requirements have been met as outlined in the  
installation manual. The chimney should be clean and in  
good repair. A draft test should be performed to deter-  
mine if the draft requirements of the appliance are being  
met. A draft gauge should read between .05 and .07  
inches water column (W.C.I.). Excessive draft (above .07  
W.C.I.) will allow too much combustion air to be pulled  
into the firebox, which results in hotter burns. Too little  
draft (below .05 W.C.I.) will not allow enough combustion  
air delivery to maintain a fire well or cause performance  
problems such as smoking (this may result in improper  
operation of appliance, i.e. will not maintain fire well unless  
catalytic bypass is left open, or with fuel door left open –  
see Operation).  
CATALYST DEACTIVATION  
1. Burning large quantities of trash, pressure-treated lum-  
ber or painted woods, etc. will deactivate the catalyst.  
Burn proper fuels only. See Catalyst Replacement, page  
19.  
CATALYST SUBSTRATE CRACKING  
1. Normal operation, as long as combustor remains  
intact. If cracking causes large pieces to fall out, re-  
place combustor.  
2. Mishandling or abuse. Handle with care.  
3. Warped housing (see Overfiring, this page).  
CATALYST SUBSTRATE  
1. Extreme thermal shock. Combustor is being worked  
too hard.  
2. Excessive draft. Correct installation. See Draft Re-  
quirements, page 6  
CATALYST PEELING  
Extreme Temperatures (over-firing) at combustor surface  
can cause the catalyst to peel. Some minor peeling does not  
affect function. Severe peeling would close cell openings and  
cause a plugging problem. If peeling is severe, replace com-  
bustor. Do not overfire appliance. See Overfiring, this page.  
Overfiring Caused From Improper Operation  
Never burn the appliance with the fuel door open or ajar,  
the ash dump cover off or the ash drawer open. Never  
burn the stove with the bypass handle in the open position  
once the fire has been established or the air control in  
the "high" position for extended periods.  
TAR AND LIQUID CREOSOTE LEAKING FROM METAL  
FLUE JOINTS  
1. No chimney cap on chimney. Install cap.  
2. Metal flue assembled improperly. Top flue sections  
should be inserted into lower flue sections.  
Overfiring Caused From Improper Maintenance  
Strictly adhere to all maintenance requirements at  
frequent intervals as prescribed in this manual in-  
cluding cleaning of flue and fireplace insert. Should  
the fuel door, ash dump or glass gaskets become  
worn or damaged, they should be replaced.  
DENCE SMOKE LEAVING CHIMNEY  
1. Water vapor (on cold still days water vapor may be mis-  
taken for smoke). Water vapor is normal and should be  
of little concern.  
2. Wet, pitchy woods being burned. Burn dry seasoned  
wood only.  
3. Bypass in open position. Close bypass.  
4. Combustor not functioning. See Catalyst Replacement,  
page 19.  
Overfiring Caused From Improper Fuel  
This appliance is approved for use with natural dry well  
seasoned wood only (consult your dealer for approved  
fuels in your area). Do not burn garbage, particleboard  
scraps, or pressed logs using bonding agents because  
they can produce conditions that will deteriorate metal.  
Green or uncured wood does not work well as fuel, and  
can cause increased creosote buildups. Do not overload  
or use kindling wood or mill ends as primary fuel.  
OVERFIRING  
If any part of the appliance glows, it is overfiring. Other  
symptoms may include: Cracking, warping or burning out of  
components, catalytic combustor may deteriorate, gold doors  
may turn color, stove glass may develop a haze which will not  
come off with cleaning, firebox baffle plate (tunnel baffle) may  
warp, etc.
