A. Design and Installation Considerations
CAUTION
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk
Negative pressure can cause spillage of
combustion fumes and soot. Fire needs to draft
properly for safe operation.
Check building codes prior to installation.
•
Installation MUST comply with local, regional,
state and national codes and regulations.
•
Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector,
fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction about
restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
B. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able for the fireplace to operate properly. Causes for this
imbalance include:
When planning a fireplace installation, it is necessary to de-
termine the following information before installing:
•
Where the fireplace is to be installed. See Sections
3 and 4.
•
•
•
Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.).
Range hoods.
Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
and other combustion appliances.
Clothes dryers.
•
The vent system configuration to be used. See Sections
5 and 6.
•
•
•
Gas supply piping. See Section 7.
Framing and finishing details. See Sections 3 and 8.
Whether optional accessories are desired. See
Section 12.
•
•
Location of return-air vents to furnace or air
conditioning.
•
•
Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system.
Upper level air leaks: recessed lighting, attic hatch
opening, duct leaks.
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fireplaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the follow-
ing must be considered:
•
•
Preventing negative pressure
Location of fireplace and chimney
•
Install the outside air kit. Install the intake on the side of
the house towards prevailing winds during the heating
season.
•
•
•
•
Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment.
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.
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.
Basement installations should be avoided due to stack
effect. Stack effect creates negative pressure in lower
levels. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends the
use of direct vent fireplaces in basements.

Location of the fireplace and chimney will affect performance.
As shown in Figure 2.1 the chimney should:
•
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.

Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with
high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass in-
sulation. If the fireplace is being installed on a cement slab,
we recommend that in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or
other raised platform be placed underneath to prevent con-
ducting cold up into the room.
E. Construct the Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to
be, installed inside a chase.
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.
Two examples of chase applications are shown in Fig-
ure 3.6.
1. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in
chase.
2. Chase constructed on roof.
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.
Building codes require false ceiling and firestop spacers at
each floor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space
to control spread of fire.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor at the first level
of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 3.5. 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 for maximum air tightness.

during installation.
Do not draw outside combustion air from:
•
•
Wall, floor or ceiling cavity.
Enclosed space such as an attic or
garage.
•
Close proximity to exhaust vents or
chimneys.
A. Install the Outside Air Kit
The outside air kit is supplied as an optional feature with this
fireplace and its use is highly recommended to minimize the
effects of negative pressure within the structure. We recom-
mend you utilize the shortest duct run to optimize the perfor-
mance of the outside air kit. The outside air kit inlet should
be positioned at least 4 ft (1.22 m) above the ground level, in
a manner that will not allow snow, leaves, etc. to block the in-
let. See Figure 4.1 for proper placement of outside air inlet.
Fumes or odor may result.
CAUTION
Risk of Smoke Spillage
Outside air inlet must be located to prevent blockage
from:
• Leaves
• Snow/ice
• Other debris
The outside air kit is installed on either side of the fireplace.
See Figure 4.2 for handle location/operation.
Blockage may cause combustion air starvation.

• Level the Fireplace
Level the fireplace side-to-side and front-to-back. Shim
with noncombustible material, such as sheet metal, as
necessary. Secure the fireplace (using the nailing flang-
es located on either side of the fireplace) to the vertical
framing.
Important: To ensure proper fit of the glass doors, check
the fireplace openings for square. Measure diagonal dis-
tances of each opening to make sure they are equal. If they
are not, continue to shim the fireplace until those diagonals
are equal.

A. Chimney Requirements
To determine the chimney components needed to complete
your particular installation, follow the steps below:
Vertical distances are measured from the base of the fire-
place as shown in Figure 5.2.
•
Determine the total vertical height of the fireplace
installation. This dimension is measured from the base of
the fireplace assembly to the point where the smoke exits
the termination cap.

B. Using Offsets/Returns
To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may be
offset using a 30-deg (SL1130) offset/return.
•
Measure how far the chimney needs to be shifted to enable
it to avoid the overhead obstacle. See Figure 5.3. Use
dimension “A” to determine chimney section required to
achieve the needed shift.
After determining the offset dimension, refer to Table 5.2
and find the “A” dimension closest to but not less than the
distance of shift needed for your installation.
The “B” dimension that coincides with the “A” dimension
represents the required vertical clearance that is needed
to complete the offset and return.
Read across the chart and find the number of chimney
sections required and the model number of those particular
chimney parts.
Whenever the chimney penetrates a floor/ceiling, a firestop
spacer must be installed.
An offset and return may be attached together or a chimney
section(s) may be used between an offset and return.
•
•
•
Perform the following steps to determine the correct chim-
ney component combination for your particular installation:
WARNING
Fire Risk
•
•
•
Draft will be restricted if offset/returns
greater than 30° are used.
The effective height of the fireplace assembly is measured
from the base of the fireplace to the top of the starter collar.

Example: Your “A” dimension from Figure 5.3
is 14-1/2 in. (368 mm). Using Table 5.2 the
dimension closest to, but not less than 14-1/2
in. (368 mm) is 14-5/8 in. (371 mm) using a 30°
offset/return. It is then determined from the table
that you would need 33 in. (838 mm) (Dimension
“B”) between the offset and return. The chimney
components that best fit your application are two

C. Assemble the Chimney Sections
Note: The firestop spacer MUST be nailed to the bottom
of the ceiling joists EXCEPT when the space above is
uninsulated and the attic insulation shield is not being used
(see Figure 5.5). When the attic insulation shield is used
the spacer may be above or below the joist of an insulated
ceiling.
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.
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 5.4.

A. 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
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.

Seasoning
G. Grate
Seasoned firewood is nothing more than wood that is
The factory installed integral grate must be used to hold the
logs from falling out of an open fireplace and to allow air to
pass between the burning logs. It is important to keep the fire
off the hearth and to allow the ashes to collect beneath the
fire, thereby forming a layer of additional heat protection.
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.
WARNING
Fire Risk
•
Use only factory installed integral grate.
The following guideline will ensure properly seasoned
wood:
May cause overfire.
•
•
•
Stack the wood to allow air to circulate freely around
and through the woodpile.
Elevate the woodpile off the ground to allow air
circulation underneath.
The smaller the pieces, the faster the drying process.
Any piece over 6 in. (152 mm) in diameter should be
split.
Cover the top of the woodpile for protection from
rain and snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends
completely. Doing so may trap moisture from the
ground and impede air circulation.
H. Wood Fuel
Firewood
Your fireplace performance depends on the quality of the
firewood you use. All seasoned wood, regardless of spe-
cies, contains about 8,000 BTU’s per pound, and hard-
woods have a greater density than soft woods. A piece
of hardwood will contain about 60% more BTU’s than
an equal size piece of soft wood. Firewood is commonly
sold by the cord (128 cu. ft.). A cord of seasoned oak
(hardwood) would contain about 60% more potential en-
ergy than a cord of seasoned pine (soft wood).
•
The problems with burning wet, unseasoned wood are
twofold: 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 ener-
gy that should be used for heating your home. Secondly,
this moisture evaporates in the form of steam which has
a cooling effect in your fireplace and chimney system.
When combined with tar and other organic vapors from
burning wood it will form creosote which condenses in
the relatively cool fireplace and chimney.
Examples of soft wood trees are Douglas fir, pine, spruce,
and cedar, poplar, aspen and alder. Soft woods require
less time to dry, burn faster and are easier to ignite than
hardwoods.
Examples of hardwood trees are oak, maple, apple, and
birch. Hardwoods require more time to season, burn
slower and are usually harder to ignite than soft woods.
The best wood fuel is a combination of soft wood and
hardwood. Start the fire with soft wood; the fire will give
off quick heat to bring the fireplace up to operating tem-
perature, and then the hardwood can be added for slow,
even heat and longer burn time.
WARNING
Fire Risk
•
•
•
Do NOT burn wet or green wood.
Store wood in dry location.
Stack wood so both ends are exposed to
air.
Moisture
Regardless of which species of wood you burn, the single
most important factor that effects the way your fireplace
operates is the amount of moisture in the wood. The ma-
jority of the problems fireplace owners experience are
caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.
Wet, unseasoned wood can cause
accumulation of creosote.
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 eight pounds. Fill it
with a gallon of water, put it in the fireplace and try to burn
it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly what you are
doing if you burn unseasoned wood.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Do NOT store wood:
•
Closer than required clearances to
combustibles to fireplace.
•
Within space required for loading or ash
removal.

I. Starting a Fire
CAUTION
Odors and vapors released during initial
operation.
Curing of high temperature paint.
Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
Check the flue damper to be certain it is in the full open po-
sition. Place crumpled or twisted paper under the fireplace
grate. Loosely arrange kindling or small pieces of wood to
form a layer above the paper.
•
•
The fires must be built on the fireplace grate, without danger
of the burning fuel falling out of the fireplace opening.
Light the paper and add small pieces of wood until a hot bed
of embers has been established.
After establishing the fire bed, and the small firewood is burn-
ing briskly, add a minimum of three average sized pieces of
split firewood, place the wood in such a manner to allow
combustion air and flames between them.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Keep combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids clear of
fireplace.
Note: When first lighting your fireplace, it may be neces-
sary to pre-warm the flue to establish a draft. This is done
by holding a rolled up piece of burning newspaper under
the flue damper for a few moments. This will help reduce
smoke spillage during start-up.
•
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.
•
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 consid-
ered normal.
•
Keep all such liquids well away from the
fireplace while it is in use.
Combustible materials may ignite.

Flue Leakage
Check for improperly connected flue joints or a damaged

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.

E. Limited Warranty
HEATILATOR WOODBURNING FIREPLACE
Limited Warranty
As part of its
20-YEAR BUYER PROTECTION PROGRAM
AS PART OF ITS 20YEAR BUYER PROTECTION PROGRAM (“PROGRAM”), HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES
INC. (“HHT”) is pleased to offer a Limited Warranty and a Replacement Parts Advantage covering specific components of your Heatilator®
woodburning fireplace system ( the “Fireplace”), installed in the United States of America or Canada. Dealers and employees of HHT have no
authority to make any warranty or authorize any remedies in addition to or inconsistent with the terms of this Program.
Limited Warranty
HHT warrants the following components of your Heatilator woodburning fireplace to be free from original defects in material and workmanship
during the applicable periods described: five years for the firebox assembly, chimney system and roof termination; two years for refractory firebox
liners; and one year for the grate, wire mesh screens, fan system, outside air system, and glass doors. All limited warranty periods run from the
date of initial installation of your Fireplace (the “Installation Date”). The Limited Warranty is subject to the conditions, exclusions and limitations of
liability listed below.
Replacement Parts Advantage
Under HHT’s Replacement Parts Advantage, for a period of twenty years from your Installation Date of your Fireplace, if available, HHT will provide
you with repair or replacement parts for defective components which are no longer under their applicable Limited Warranty, at 50% of the then
current retail list price for such components. HHT shall have no responsibility for freight and labor charges related to such parts.
Conditions, Exclusions, & Limitations of Liability
A. Both the Limited Warranty and Replacement Parts Advantage supplied by HHT apply only while the Fireplace is in its location of original
installation. HHT’s obligation under this warranty does not extend to damages resulting from (1) installation, operation or maintenance of
the Fireplace not in accordance with the Installation Instructions, Operating Instructions, and the Listing Agent Identification Label furnished
with the Appliance; (2) installation which does not comply with local building codes; (3) shipping, improper handling, improper operation,
abuse, misuse, accident or unworkmanlike repairs; (4) environmental conditions, inadequate ventilation or drafting caused by tight sealing
construction of the structure, air handling devices such as exhaust fans or forced air furnaces, or other causes; (5) use of fuels other than
those specified in the Operating Instructions; (6) installation or use of components not supplied with the Fireplace or any other components
not expressly authorized and approved by HHT; and/or (7) modification of the Fireplace not expressly authorized and approved by HHT in
writing. This warranty is limited to only the component parts manufactured or supplied by HHT.
B. During the first year of the Limited Warranty, HHT will, at its sole option, repair or replace any covered defective component and will provide
replacement parts at no charge. And will pay reasonable labor and freight costs. During the second through the fifth years of the Limited
Warranty (if applicable), HHT will provide replacement parts free of charge for any covered defective component, but will not pay for freight
or labor costs related to the shipment of the parts or the actual repair or replacement. After the fifth anniversary of the Installation date,
HHT’s sole obligation and your exclusive remedy is set forth in HHT’s Replacement Parts Advantage described above. In no event shall
HHT be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in your Fireplace.
C. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, HHT MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY
SPECIFIED HEREIN. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO DURATION OF THE WARRANTY SPECIFIED
ABOVE.
D. Some states do not allow exclusions or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so those limitations may not apply to you. This
warranty gives you specific rights; you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
How to Obtain Service
1. To obtain service under this warranty you must:
2. Send written notice of the claimed condition to Heatilator Technical Service Department, Hearth & Home Technologies, 1915 W. Saunders
Street, Mt.. Pleasant, Iowa 52641-1563. You may also register your claim online at www.heatilator.com.
3. Provide proof of purchase, model number, serial number, and manufacturing date code to HHT.
4. Provide HHT reasonable opportunity to investigate the claim, including reasonable opportunity to inspect the Appliance prior to any repair or
replacement work and before the Appliance or any component of the Appliance has been removed from the place of original installation.
5. Obtain HHT’s consent to any warranty work before the work is done.
