WARNING
Fire Risk.
B. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
•
Do not operate appliance before reading and
understanding operating instructions.
•
Failure to operate appliance properly may
cause a house fire.
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.
C. Negative Pressure
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fireplaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher
to contend with small fires resulting from burning
embers.
•
•
Preventing negative pressure
Location of fireplace and chimney
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able for the fireplace to operate properly. Causes for this
imbalance include:
3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
4. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:
In the event of a chimney fire:
•
•
•
Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.).
Range hoods.
a
Evacuate the house immediately
Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
and other combustion appliances.
b. Notify fire department
•
•
Clothes dryers.
Location of return-air vents to furnace or air
conditioning.
•
•

7100FP EPA Woodburning Fireplace
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the follow-
ing must be considered:
The 7100FP Fireplace requires a minimum flue draft of -0.10
inches of water column on High, and -0.04 inches of water
column on Low, as measured with a draft meter. Most deal-
ers have draft meters available to measure your flue draft if
you suspect a problem.
•
•
Install the outside air kit.
Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment.
If the fire is difficult to start, and smoke spills out of the door,
or you find it hard to establish and maintain a moderately
high burn rate, then the flue draft is too low and corrective
measures must be taken.
•
•
•
Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace.
Avoid installing the fireplace near doors, walkways or small
isolated spaces.
NOTE: Cold air infiltration can cause frosting on glass.
Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design; attic
hatches weather stripped or sealed; attic mounted duct
work and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed.
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk
Location of the fireplace and chimney will affect performance.
As shown in Figure 7.1, the chimney should:
Negative pressure can cause spillage of
combustion fumes and soot. Fire needs to draft
properly for safe operation.
•
Be installed through the warm airspace enclosed by the
building envelope. This helps to produce more draft,
especially during lighting and die-down of the fire.
•
•
Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the
effects of wind turbulence.
Be located away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven
roof lines and other obstructions.
Offsets can restrict draft so their use should be minimized.
Consider the fireplace location relative to floor and ceiling
and attic joists.

A. Selecting Fireplace Location
considerable air movement can affect the performance and
cause intermittent smoke spillage from the front of the fire-
place when no outside air is used. Outside air must be used
for combustion. The 7100FP comes equipped with an out-
side air inlet to feed combustion air from outside the home,
along with an outside air termination cap. Consideration
should be given to these factors before deciding on a loca-
tion. See Sections 2 and 10.
Several options are available to you when choosing a loca-
tion for your fireplace. This fireplace may be used as a room
divider, installed along a wall, across a corner or used in an
exterior chase. See Figure 10.1.

E. Construct the Chase
Achase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the fire-
place and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run on
the outside of a building must be installed inside a chase.
Round Termination Cap
Storm Collar
Metal Chase Top
In cold climates, it is recommended that the chase be well
insulated using batt type insulation between the joists.
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build-
ing. These instructions are not substitutes for the require-
ments of local building codes. Local building codes MUST
be checked.
Ceiling
Firestop
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside
walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The
chase should not break the outside building envelope in any
manner. All outer walls need to be insulated.
Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling firestops at
each floor of the chase or every 10 ft (3048 mm) of clear
space to control spread of fire.
False Ceiling
Attic
Insulation
Tabs
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor at the first level
of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 14.1. Vapor
and air infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase
as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally,
Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the inside
surfaces be sheet rocked and taped (or the use of an equiv-
alent method) for maximum air tightness.

Materials
a. The chase is constructed using framing materials much
the same as the walls in your home. A variety of siding
materials may be used including brick, stone, veneer
brick, or standard siding materials.
1. Fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase.
2. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in

3. Chase constructed on roof.
b. In constructing the chase, several factors must be con-
sidered:

All outside walls should be insulated.
ney.
2) The chase top must be constructed of non-combus-
tible material.
3) In cold climates, a firestop spacer should be installed
in an insulated false ceiling at the 8 ft. (2438 mm)
level above the fireplace assembly. This reduces heat
loss through the chase.
4) In cold climates, the walls of the chase should be
insulated to the level of the false ceiling as shown in
Figure 14.1. This will help reduce heat loss from the
home around the fireplace.

1. Cut a 6 in. (152 mm) hole in outside wall to accommodate
air piping. The outside air is located on top, auxiliary
convection air intake is located on the bottom. See Figure
15.1.
CAUTION
Sharp Edges
•
Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses during
installation.
2. Use 6 in. (152 mm) metal flex or rigid piping (not supplied)
to directly connect outside air to fireplace intake. Insulate
the pipe to prevent frost condensation.
3. Use the supplied termination caps.
A. Install the Outside Air Kit
This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace system.
See Section 2.
4. Seal between the wall and the pipe with silicone to prevent
moisture penetration and air leaks.
5. Seal between the termination cap and the house with
silicone to prevent air infiltration.
Using an outside air kit must be used for combustion to mini-
mize the effects of negative pressure within the structure.
We recommend you utilize the shortest duct run to optimize
the performance of the outside air kit. The outside air kit inlet
should be positioned in a manner that will not allow snow,
leaves, etc. to block the inlet. In some installations the air
duct may need to be run vertically. In such an installation, a
3 ft (914 mm) height difference must be maintained from the
top of the uppermost chimney section to the outside com-
bustion air inlet. See Figure 16.1 on page 16.
NOTE: A control knob allows you control of the outside air
inlet. Use of outside air for combustion is required to
conserve heated air within the structure and to provide
make up air to keep the fireplace venting properly.
IMPORTANT!
TURN CLOCKWISE TO “OPEN” POSITION.
OUTSIDE AIR KNOB MUST BE IN THE “OPEN” POSI-
TION TO OPERATE FIREPLACE PROPERLY.
See Figure 16.2 on page 16 for proper placement of outside
air inlet.
MAY BE CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE TO PREVENT
COLD AIR INFILTRATION.

B. Auxiliary Convection Air System
Both the Outside Air and Auxiliary Air kits are installed
on the right hand side of the fireplace.
Auxiliary convection air allows you to use outside air to flow
over the blowers, where it is heated and then distributed
into the room producing positive pressure inside the home.
Alternatively, you can also run a 6 in. (152 mm) duct to another
location in your home and use as a cold air return within the
home.
The auxiliary convection lever allows you to change the
fireplace from a zone heater into a whole house heater.
LEFT: Slide to the left and use the fireplace as a zone heater.
This option pulls room air into the bottom grille of the fireplace,
heats the air and re-circulates it to the room(s).
RIGHT: Slide to the right and use the fireplace as a whole
house heater for room convection air.
Left = Room Air
Right =Auxiliary Air
The auxiliary convection lever is located underneath the front
lower panel. See Figure 17.2.

The auxiliary convection lever allows you to choose
where the convection air is coming from. You can ei-
ther use room air from the same room where the fire-
place is installed (all the way to the left) or from duct
work which can be run to another room in the house
or to the exterior of the home to use outside air (all
the way to the right).
NOTE: If you live in an area that experiences
very cold winter months, you will want to pull in
room air from your home as opposed to pulling
in cold air from the outside of the home. This will
eliminate creating a draft of cold outside air infil-
trating your home when your are not using your
fireplace.

C. Using Offsets/Returns
•
Measure how far the chimney needs to be shifted to enable
it to avoid the overhead obstacle. See Figure 22.2. Use
dimension “A” to determine chimney section required to
achieve the needed shift.
To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may be
offset using an offset/return.
An offset and return may be attached together or a chimney
section(s) may be used between an offset and return.
•
•
•
After determining the offset dimension, refer to Table 22.1
and find the “A” dimension closest to but not less than the
distance of shift needed for your installation.
Perform the following steps to determine the correct chim-
ney component combination for your particular installation:
The “B” dimension that coincides with the “A” dimension
represents the required vertical clearance that is needed
to complete the offset and return.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Read across the chart and find the number of chimney
sections required and the model number of those particular
chimney parts.
DO NOT combine offsets to create an offset
greater than 30° from vertical.
Draft will be restricted.
•
•
Whenever the chimney penetrates a floor/ceiling, a ceiling
firestop must be installed.
•
The effective height of the fireplace assembly is measured
from the base of the fireplace.
Table 22.1
Part SL315
Part SL315
30°
Example:
15°
SL306 SL312 SL318 SL324 SL336 SL348
Your “A” dimension from Figure 22.2 is
14 1/2 in. (368 mm). Using Table 22.1
the dimension closest to, but not less
than 14 1/2 in. (368 mm) is 14 1/2 in.
(368 mm) using a 30° offset/return. It is
then determined from the table that you
would need 34 1/8 in. (867 mm) (Dimen-
sion “B”) between the offset and return.

E. Assembling Chimney Sections for the SL-
300 Series
D. Assemble the Chimney Sections
Attach either a straight chimney section or an offset to the
top of the fireplace (depending on your installation require-
ment). Chimney sections are locked together by pushing
downward until the top section meets the stop bead on the
lower section.
NOTE: Chimney Air Kit, Part CAK4A is REQUIRED
when using the SL-300 Pipe Series. Detailed instruc-
tions are supplied with the kit.
If using the Dura-Plus System (must be 8 in. (203
mm) in diameter), the starter ring that came with the
fireplace must be removed and replaced with the
Dura-Plus Base Plate. The CAK4A is not required
with a Dura-Plus System.
The inner flue is placed to the inside of the flue section below
it. The outer casing is placed outside the outer casing of the
chimney section below it. See Figure 23.1.
If you are using a different approved venting system, follow
the instructions that were supplied with that system.
Installing CAK4A and Flex Pipe
NOTE: FOLLOW DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME
WITH THE CAK4A.
1. Install the chimney pipe first.
2. Hand bend the tabs in position before placing on the
fireplace.
3. Place the box on top of the fireplace around the chimney
pipe, push both pieces together and secure with screws
provided.
4. Use the pre-punched holes in the tabs as guides and drill
holes through the fireplace top.
5. Secure the CAK4A in place.
6. Seal around the kit at the flue and at the top of the can
with caulk.

H. Double-check the Chimney Assembly
G. Install the Attic Insulation Shield
An insulation shield must be installed when there is a pos-
sibility of insulation coming into contact with the factory built
chimney system.
Continue assembling the chimney sections up through the
ceiling firestops as needed. While doing so, be aware of the
height and unsupported chimney length limitations given un-
der Section 5.A. Chimney Requirements.
•
Bend the tabs at the top of the attic insulation shield inward.
This will help keep the chimney section centered in the
shield.
Check each section by pulling up slightly from the top to en-
sure proper engagement before installing the succeeding
sections. If they have been connected correctly, they will not
disengage when tested.
•
•
Position the shield over the vertical chimney section where
it penetrates a ceiling firestop.
Slide the shield down until it rests on the ceiling firestop.
The ceiling firestop will support the insulation shield. See
Figures 25.1 and 25.2.
I. Secure the Chimney
When offsets and returns are joined to straight pipe sections,
they must be locked into position with the screws provided*
(outer only), using the predrilled holes. To prevent gravity
from pulling the chimney sections apart, the returns and the
chimney stabilizers have hanger straps for securing these
parts to joists or rafters. See Figure 25.3.

C. General Information
Fireplaces, as well as other woodburning appliances, have
been used safely for many years. It has been our experience
that most problems are caused by improper installation and
operation of the fireplace. Make certain that installation and
operation of the fireplace system is in accordance with these
instructions.
WARNING
Fire Risk
•
Do not operate fireplace before
reading and understanding operating
instructions.
It is extremely important that the fire be supervised when-
ever the fireplace is in use. It is also recommended that an
annual inspection be performed on the fireplace system to
determine if the flue system needs to be cleaned, or as in
the case of any appliance, if minor repairs are required to
maintain the system in top operating condition.
Failure to operate fireplace properly may

to be about two-thirds seasoned, if cut at the dry time of
the year.
D. Wood Fuel
Hardwood vs. Softwood
The problems with burning wet, unseasoned wood are
two fold. First, you will receive less heat output from wet
wood because it requires energy in the form of heat to
evaporate the water trapped inside. This is wasted energy
that should be used for heating your home. Secondly, this
moisture evaporates in the form of steam which has a
cooling effect in your firebox and chimney system. When
combined with tar and other organic vapors from burn-
ing wood it will form creosote which condenses in the
relatively cool firebox and chimney. See the maintenance
section of this manual for more information regarding
creosote formation and need for removal.
Your fireplace’s performance depends a great deal on
the quality of the firewood you use. Contrary to popular
belief, one species of wood varies very little to the other in
terms of energy content. All seasoned wood, regardless
of species, contains about 8,000 BTU’s per pound. The
important factor is that hardwoods have a greater density
than softwoods. Therefore, a piece of hardwood will con-
tain about 60% more BTU’s than an equal size piece of
softwood. Since firewood is commonly sold by the cord
(128 cu. ft) a volume measurement, a cord of seasoned
oak (hardwood) would contain about 60% more potential
energy than a cord of seasoned pine (softwood).
Even dry wood contains at least 15% moisture by weight,
and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney
hot for as long as it takes to dry the wood out - about
one hour. To tell if wood is dry enough to burn, check
the ends of the logs. If there are cracks radiating in all
directions from the center, it is dry. If your wood sizzles
in the fire, even though the surface is dry, it may not be
fully cured.
There are many definitions of hardwood and softwood.
Although not true in every case, one of the most reli-
able is to classify them as coniferous or deciduous.
Softwoods are considered coniferous. These are trees
with needle-like leaves that stay green all year and carry
their seeds exposed in a cone. Examples of softwood
trees are Douglas fir, pine, spruce and cedar. Softwoods,
being more porous, require less time to dry, burn faster
and are easier to ignite than hardwoods. Deciduous
trees are broadleaf trees that lose their leaves in the fall.
Their seeds are usually found within a protective pod
or enclosure. Hardwoods fall into this category. Some
examples of deciduous trees are oak, maple, apple,
and birch. However, it should be noted that there are
some deciduous trees that are definitely not considered
hardwoods such as poplar, aspen and alder. Hardwoods
require more time to season, burn slower and are usually
harder to ignite than softwoods. Obviously, you will use
the type of wood that is most readily available in your
area. However, if at all possible the best arrangement is
to have a mix of softwood and hardwood. This way you
can use the softwood for starting the fire giving off quick
heat to bring the appliance up to operating temperature.
Then add the hardwood for slow, even heat and longer
burn time.
Seasoning
Seasoned firewood is nothing more than wood that is cut
to size, split and air dried to a moisture content of around
20%. The time it takes to season wood varies from around
nine months for soft woods to as long as eighteen months
for hardwoods. The key to seasoning wood is to be sure
it has been split, exposing the wet interior and increasing
the surface area of each piece. A tree that was cut down
a year ago and not split is likely to have almost as high a
moisture content now as it did when it was cut.

Do NOT burn wet or green wood.
Store wood in dry location.
Stack wood so both ends are exposed to
air.
Moisture content
Regardless of which species of wood you burn, the single
most important factor that affects the way your fireplace
operates is the amount of moisture in the wood. The
majority of the problems fireplace owners experience
are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.
Freshly cut wood can be as much water as it is wood,
having a moisture content of around 50%. Imagine a
wooden bucket that weighs about 8 pounds. Fill it with a
gallon of water, put it in the firebox and try to burn it. This
sounds ridiculous but that is exactly what you are doing
if you burn unseasoned wood. Dead wood lying on the
forest floor should be considered wet, and requires full
seasoning time. Standing dead wood can be considered
Wet, unseasoned wood can cause
accumulation of creosote.

E. Burning Process
Storing Wood
Fire requires 3 things to burn: fuel, air and heat. If heat
is robbed from the fireplace during the drying stage, the
new load of wood has reduced the chances for a good
clean burn. For this reason, it is always best to burn dry,
seasoned firewood. We do not advise burning unsea-
soned wood, however if it happens, you must open the
Slide Air Control and burn the fireplace at a high burn
setting for a longer time to start it burning.
Splitting wood before it is stored reduces drying time.
The following guideline will ensure properly seasoned
wood:
a. Stack the wood to allow air to circulate freely around
and through the woodpile.
b. Elevate the woodpile off the ground to allow air cir-
culation underneath.
c. The smaller the pieces, the faster the drying process.
Any piece over 6 in. (152 mm) in diameter should be
split.
d. Wood should be stacked so that both ends of each
piece are exposed to air, since more drying occurs
through the cut ends than the sides. This is true
even with wood that has been split.
e. Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or cov-
ered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets of scrap
plywood, etc., as uncovered wood can absorb water
from rain or snow, delaying the seasoning process.
Avoid covering the sides and ends completely. Doing
so may trap moisture from the ground and impede
air circulation.
Kindling or 1st stage:
It helps to know a little about the actual process of burning
in order to understand what goes on inside a fireplace.
The first stage of burning is called the kindling stage.
In this stage, the wood is heated to a temperature high
enough to evaporate the moisture which is present in
all wood. The wood will reach the boiling point of water
(212°F) and will not get any hotter until the water is
evaporated. This process takes heat from the coals and
tends to cool the fireplace.
2nd stage:
The next stage of burning, the secondary stage, is the
period when the wood gives off flammable gases which
burn above the fuel with bright flames. During this stage
of burning it is very important that the flames be main-
tained and not allowed to go out. This will ensure the
cleanest possible fire. If you are adjusting your fireplace
for a low burn rate, you should close down the air to the
point where you can still maintain some flame. If the
flames tend to go out, the fireplace is set too low for your
burning conditions.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Do NOT store wood:
•
Closer than required clearances to com-
bustibles to appliance
•
Within space required for loading or ash
removal.
Final stage:
Do NOT operate appliance:
The final stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This
occurs when the flammable gases have been mostly
burned and only charcoal remains. This is a naturally
clean portion of the burn. The coals burn with hot blue
flames.
•
•
With appliance door open.
With ash removal system door open.
It is very important to reload your fireplace while enough
lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of
heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood.
It is best to open the air control for a short while before
reloading. This livens up the coalbed. Open door slowly
so that ash or smoke does not exit fireplace through
opening. You should also break up any large chunks and
distribute the coals so that the new wood is laid evenly
on hot coals.
CAUTION
Fireplace operation does require air. Do not take air from
other fuel burning appliances which can result in improper
venting (smoking) or air dilution.Always provide adequate
makeup air.

G. Burning Guidelines
F. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC)
Typically, when you build a fire, you need to open the
controls to give the fire more air so the wood will start
burning. You would then have to physically watch the
fire and shut down the air controls so the fireplace does
not overfire and burn up your wood too quickly. With the
Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) system, you do not
have to physically watch the fire. Once you set the ACC
system it will monitor the fire for you.
For maximum operating efficiency with the lowest
emissions, follow these operating procedures:
1. Regardless of desired heat output, when loading the
fireplace, burn your fireplace with the SlideAir Control
wide open (fully to the right) for a minimum of 5 to 15
minutes.
2. Regulate burn rate (heat output) by using the SlideAir
Control. See Figure 49.1.
Set the ACC slide control to HIGH by moving it all the
way to the right. As you move the control rod to the right,
about 3/4 of the way you will feel some resistance. You
must move past that resistance approximately 3/4 in.
(19 mm) to reach the HIGH setting. Start your fire and
then move the slide control to the left to the desired burn
rate. (See Burning Guidelines for the position of the
slide control for the different burn rates.) The fireplace
will automatically go to that level after the fire is fully
established. This allows for less manual monitoring of
the fire and more efficient use of fuel while maintaining
the desired heat output.
3. Heat output settings: Follow the burn rate instructions
listed below.
NOTE: To establish your settings, always begin with the
air control all the way to the left to STOP and then move
it to the right for your desired setting.

NOTE: If reloading a bright, hot coal bed for longer (low)
burn time, setting the ACC may not be required.
NOTE: BURN DRY, WELL-SEASONED WOOD.
H. Burn Rates

After a wood load has been burning on high for 5 to 15
minutes, close the Slide Air Control to 1/2 in. - 1-1/2 in.

the fireplace. It is very important to maintain flames in
your fireplace during the first few hours of a low burn to
avoid excessive air pollution.

I. Starting a Fire
Note: The first three or four fires should be of moderate
size to allow the oils and binders to be burned from the
fireplace and the refractory and paint to cure. You may
notice an industrial odor the first few fires. This is considered
normal.
Before lighting your first fire in the fireplace, make cer-
tain that the baffle and the ceramic blanket are correctly
positioned. It should be resting against the rear support.
Also refer to care and cleaning of plated surfaces on
page 60 before lighting your first fire.
NOTE: REMOVEALL LABELS FROM GLASS BEFORE
LIGHTING THE FIRST FIRE IN YOUR APPLIANCE.
CAUTION
Odors and vapors released during initial
operation.
There are many ways to build a fire. The basic principle
is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the
fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning
firewood. Here is one method that works well:
•
•
Curing of high temperature paint.
Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
1. Place several wads of crushed paper on the fire-
box floor. Heating the flue with slightly crumpled
newspaper before adding kindling keeps smoke to
a minimum.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Keep combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids clear of
fireplace.
2. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.
3. Fully open the Slide Air Control by moving it com-
pletely to the right.
4. Make sure that no matches or other combustibles
are in the immediate area of the fireplace. Be sure
the room is adequately ventilated and the flue unob-
structed.
•
Do NOT store flammable materials
close to the fireplace.
Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or
similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a
fire in this fireplace.
•
5. Light the paper in the fireplace. NEVER light or
rekindle fireplace with kerosene, gasoline, or
charcoal lighter fluid; the results can be fatal.
•
Keep all such liquids well away from
the fireplace while it is in use.
6. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several
full-length logs 3 in. (76 mm) or 4 in. (102 mm) in
diameter. Be careful not to smother the fire. Stack
the pieces of wood carefully: near enough to keep
each other hot, but far enough away from each other
to allow adequate air flow between them.
Combustible materials may ignite.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
7. When ready to reload the fireplace, add more logs.
Large logs burn slowly, holding a fire longer. Small
logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.
For use with solid wood fuel only.
Other fuels may overfire and generate
poisonous gases (i.e. carbon monoxide).
8. Adjust the SlideAir Control; the more you close down
the Control, (sliding left) the lower and slower the fire
will burn. The more you open theAir Control, (sliding
right) the more heat will be produced and the faster
the wood will burn.
As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 7 and 8 will
maintain a continuous fire throughout the season.
NOTE: The special high temperature paint that your fireplace
is finished with will cure as your fireplace heats. You will notice
an odor and perhaps see some vapor rise from the fireplace
surface; this is normal. We recommend that you open a
window until the odor dissipates and paint is cured.
NOTE: Fireplace should be run full open for a minimum of
30 minutes a day during heating season to keep air passages
clean.

A source of air (oxygen) is required in order for combustion A firescreen is optional to control sparks. It must be in place
to take place. Whatever air is consumed by the fire must be whenever the fireplace is in use. Glass doors or firescreens
replaced through cracks around windows, under doors, etc. must not be used to hold burning material inside the fire-

with a small fire and adjust your heat to desired setting. If
smoke spillage occurs, put on gloves and then remove the
screen and close the doors. Refer to Troubleshooting Draft
Problems on page 53.
Outside air is required to minimize the effects of negative
pressure within the structure. It is recommended to utilize
the shortest duct run to optimize the performance of the Out-
side Air flex tubing. The outside air inlet thimble should be
positioned above the ground level, and must remain clear
of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. If you live in an area that
experiences deep snow levels, this must be taken into con-
sideration when determining the height placement above
ground level. It must be unrestricted while unit is in use to
prevent room air starvation which can cause smoke spillage
and an inability to maintain a fire. Smoke spillage can also
set off smoke alarms.
WARNING
Fire Risk
•
•
Close firescreen when burning fireplace.
Do not use firescreen or glass doors to
hold burning material in fireplace.
Firescreen controls sparks.
Glass may break or burning material may
roll out.
This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate
ventilation is provided to allow proper draft to the fire-
place system. Hearth & Home Technologies assumes
no responsibility for the improper performance of the
fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to
environmental conditions, down drafts, tight sealing
construction of the structure, or mechanical exhausting
devices which create a negative air pressure within the
structure where the fireplace is located.
•
Always wear gloves when installing or
removing the screen as the screen may
become extremely hot while in use.
M.Glass Doors
This fireplace has been tested and listed for use with doors
as specified in Section 12.E. Please refer to the manual
packed with each set of doors for installation instructions.
NOTE: OUTSIDE AIR IS REQUIRED.
An outside air control handle allows you control of the out-
side air inlet. This may be closed only when the fireplace is
not in use to prevent cold air infiltration. Use of outside air
for combustion is required to conserve heated air within the
structure and to provide make up air to keep the fireplace
venting properly.

Fire Risk
Smoke Risk
Doors must be fully opened or fully closed
when operating fireplace.
Partially opened doors may draw flame, smoke
or heat from fireplace.

N. Blower Operation
Instructions with Blower Override Switch in manual posi-
tion.
1. Initial (cold) Startup: Leave blower off until your fire-
place is hot and a good coal bed is established, ap-
proximately 30 minutes after fuel is lit.
CAUTION
ALL wiring should be done by a qualified electrician and
shall be in compliance with local codes and with the National
Electric Code NFPA/NEC No. 70-current (in the United
States), or with the current CSC22.1 Canadian Electric
Code (in Canada).
2. High Burn Setting: The blower may be left on
throughout the burn.
P. Opacity
3. Medium or Medium High Burn Setting: The blower
should be left off until a good burn is established, then
turned on medium or high rate.
T
his is the measure of how cleanly your fireplace is burn-
ing. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when
an object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a
chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke column can
be seen. As you become familiar with your fireplace, you
should periodically check the opacity. This will allow you
to know how to burn your fireplace as nearly smoke-free
as possible (goal of 0% opacity).
4. Low Burn Setting: The blower tends to cool off the
fireplace. Leave blower off until the burn is well estab-
lished; then, if you wish, turn the blower on at a low
rate.
NOTE: The blower is equipped with a snap disc that will turn
the blower on and off depending on the temperature of the
fireplace. If the blower is not coming on at the desired time,
flip the override switch to manual and operate the blower as
described above.
Q. Chimney Fire
In the event of a chimney fire:
•
Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected by
qualified professionals. Hearth & Home Technologies
recommends that NFI or CSIA certified professionals, or
technicians under the direction of certified professionals,
conduct a minimum of an NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection
of the chimney.
The override switch and the blower speed control are hard
wired at time of installation and installed in a standard wall
mount with junction box on the wall.
O. Heat Zone Operation
The Heat-Zone accessory kit conveys warm air from the
fireplace through air duct(s) to remote locations in the same
room or other rooms of the building. You may install 1 or
2 Heat-Zone kits on the fireplace. Follow the instructions
that is supplied with the kit. Installation of this kit MUST be
performed by a qualified service technician. If any parts are
missing or damaged, contact your local dealer before starting
installation. DO NOT install a damaged kit.
•
•
Replace components of the chimney and fireplace as
specified by the professionals.
Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the chimney
is properly secured.
A chimney fire can permanently damage your chimney sys-
tem. Failure to replace damaged components and make
proper repairs creates risk of fire.
The Heat-Zone kit is carefully engineered and must be
installed only as specified. If you modify it or any of its com-
ponents, you will void the warranty and you may possibly
cause a fire hazard. Installation must be done according to
applicable local, state, provincial, and/or national codes.

If smoke spillage occurs from a fireplace opening when the

configuration requirements for the installation have been
met, there is either a leakage in the flue, a blockage in the
flue, or some condition is in effect to draw smoke from the
fireplace into the house. Understanding and differentiating
the conditions which can cause each of these kinds of spill-
age problems is essential to their solution.
•
The chimney is clean and free of creosote or soot
buildup.
•
•
Make sure overhanging trees and branches are cut back
within ten feet of the top of the chimney and is free of
debris from animals.
•
Flue Leakage
Check for improperly connected flue joints or a damaged
flue joint in the chimney system. Such leakage would
reduce draft (air would be drawn in through the leaks rather
than through the fireplace). The result might be difficult
start-up and smoky fires that might spill if other adverse
draft conditions accompany this problem.
Ensure the chimney cap is clean and free of any buildup
of soot or creosote. if cap is equipped with a spark arres-
tor screen.
•
•
Be sure the ceramic blanket (above the baffle) and the
baffle are in their proper positions
•
Flue Blockage
The damper should be open.
The wood being used in dry and well seasoned.
If you still suspect you have a low draft problem it may be
necessary to increase the volume of air in your flue system.
Since the diameter of your flue system is matched with the
size of the flue collar and should not be changed, then the
height of the system must be increased.Add chimney sections
a little at a time until the draft improves.
In some cases, regardless of what you do, it can still be dif-
ficult to establish the proper flue draft. This is especially evi-
dent when using an exterior factory-built chimney or exterior
masonry chimney. Try placing several sheets of crumpled
paper on top of your kindling as close to the flue outlet of
the fireplace as possible. Light this paper first then the paper
under the kindling. The heat generated from the rapidly
burning paper on top of the kindling should help get the draft
established.
Still other factors can affect how well your flue system per-
forms. Neighboring structures, high winds, tall trees, even
hillsides can affect air currents around the chimney. Well
designed chimney caps are available that can help. Your fire-
place dealer is the local expert in your area. He can usually
make suggestions or discover problems that can be easily
corrected allowing your fireplace to operate correctly as it
has been designed, providing safe and economical heat for
your home.
B. Draft Problems
This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace system.
Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for
the improper performance of the fireplace system caused
by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, windy
conditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of the struc-
ture, or mechanical exhausting devices which will create a
negative air pressure within the structure where the fireplace
is located.
Flue draft is measured as negative pressure in the chimney.
The amount of negative pressure determines how strong
the draft is. The draft is important because it draws the com-
bustion air into the fireplace and pulls the smoke out of the
chimney.
There are three basic criteria essential in establishing and
maintaining flue draft:
•
•
•
Availability of combustion air.
Heat generated from the fire.
Diameter and height of the flue system.
These three factors work together as a system to create
the flue draft. Increasing or decreasing any one of them will
affect the other two and thus change the amount of draft in
the entire system.

Remove all ash from the firebox and extinguish all hot
embers before disposal. Allow the appliance to cool
completely. Remove baffle and ceramic blanket from
appliance before cleaning chimney. Otherwise residue can
pile up on top of the baffle and ceramic blanket and the
appliance will not work properly. (See Baffle Removal on
page 32). Close the door tightly. The creosote or soot
should be removed with a brush specifically designed for
the type of chimney in use. Clean out fallen ashes from the
firebox. A chimney sweep can perform this service.

It is also recommended that before each heating season
the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and
repaired if necessary.

Inspection: Inspect the system at the appliance connection
and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build
creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to check the
chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.
Termination Caps
Figure 57.1 Chimney & Termination Cap Cleaning
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. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this
creosote creates an extremely hot fire which may damage the
chimney or even destroy the house. The chimney connector
and chimney should be inspected once every 2 months during
the heating season to determine if a creosote or soot buildup
has occurred. If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Prevent creosote buildup.
Inspect chimney connector and chimney once
every two months during heating season.
• Remove creosote to reduce risk of chimney fire.
• Ignited creosote is extremely HOT.

2. Disposal of Ashes
•
•
•
Frequency: As necessary
By: Homeowner
Task: See the following instructions.
5. Remove screws from the top and bottom glass frames
(5 on each door) using a #2 Phillips Head screwdriver.
Set frames aside and retain screws.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible 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 otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
HINT: Soak screws in penetrating oil for easy removal.
6. Remove the glass and discard.
7. Position the new glass with edges evenly overlapping
the opening in the front door.
8. Replace the glass frames. Be careful not to cross thread
the screws.
9. Start screws to secure glass frames to door, keeping
them loose for adjusting the glass. Then continue to
tighten each screw alternately, a few turns at a time,
until the glass panel is tightened snugly. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN SCREWS.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Disposal of Ashes
10. Replace the door on the appliance.
•
Ashes should be placed in metal container with tight
fitting lid.
Do not place metal container on combustible surface.
Ashes should be retained in closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
11. After the first burn, recheck the tightness of the screws.
•
•
NOTE: REMOVE ALL LABELS FROM GLASS BEFORE
LIGHTING THE FIRST FIRE IN YOUR APPLIANCE.
3. Glass Cleaning
•
•
•
Frequency: As necessary
By: Homeowner
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Task: See the following instructions.
Injury Risk.
Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive
cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack. If the
deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal glass
cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be removed
by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by using
a commercially available oven cleaner. After using an
oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any residue with
a glass cleaner or soap and water. Oven cleaner left on
during the next firing can permanently stain the glass
and damage the finish on plated metal surfaces.
•
Use only glass specified in manual.
•
DO NOT REPLACE with any other material.
Glass breakage will occur.
Aportion of the combustion air entering the firebox is deflected
down over the inside of the door glass. This air flow “washes”
the glass, helping to keep smoke from adhering to its surface.
When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be flowing
over the glass and the smoky, relatively cool condition of a
low fire will cause the glass to become coated. Operating
the appliance with the Burn Rate Air Control and Start-Up Air
Control all the way open for 15-20 minutes should remove
the built up coating.

not limited to, improper chimney or venting installation.
