Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations

CAUTION

WARNING

Check building codes prior to installation.

Asphyxiation Risk

•

Installation MUST comply with local, regional,

state and national codes and regulations.

Negative pressure can cause spillage of

combustion fumes and soot. Fire needs to draft

properly for safe operation.

•

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, 6 and 8.

Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall

switch or remote control—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

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.

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.

Three examples of chase applications are shown in Fig-

ure 3.6.

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.

1. Fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase.

2. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in

chase.

3. Chase constructed on roof.

Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling ﬁrestops at

each ﬂoor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space

to control spread of ﬁre.

All outside walls should be insulated.

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 surfac-

es be sheet rocked and taped (or the use of an equivalent

method) for maximum air tightness.

Installation of Fireplace

WARNING

CAUTION

Fire Risk

Asphyxiation Risk

Do not draw outside combustion air from:

Sharp Edges

•

Wear protective gloves and safety glasses

during installation.

•

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

This ﬁreplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-

tion is provided to allow proper draft to the ﬁreplace system.

See Section 2.

Fumes or odor may result.

The outside air kit is supplied with this ﬁreplace and its use

is highly recommended to minimize 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. Cold air ﬂow can be minimized by putting a small dip

in the duct creating a cold air trap. This trap can also help

prevent heat build-up and exhausting out the intake due to

the stack effect. 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 m) height

difference must be maintained from the top of the upper-

most chimney section to the outside combustion air inlet.

See Figure 4.2.

CAUTION

Risk of Smoke Spillage

Outside air inlet must be located to prevent blockage

from:

• Leaves

• Snow/ice

• Other debris

Blockage may cause combustion air starvation.

See Figure 4.3 for proper placement of outside air inlet.

The outside air kit is installed on the left hand side of the

ﬁreplace. See Figure 4.4 for handle location/operation.

A. Chimney Requirements

Vertical distances are measured from the base of the ﬁre-

place as shown in Figure 5.2.

To determine the chimney components needed to complete

your particular installation, follow the steps below:

•

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.

5.5

5.6

27.4

• Minimum overall straight height

• Minimum height with offset/return

• Maximum height

18.5

•

Subtract the effective height of the ﬁreplace assembly from

the overall height of the ﬁreplace installation (measured

from the base of the fireplace to the bottom of the

termination cap).

• Maximum chimney length between an offset and

return

• Maximum distance between chimney stabilizers

• Double offset/return minimum height

•

Refer to Table 5.1 to determine what components must

be selected to complete the ﬁreplace installation.

Determine the number of ceiling ﬁrestops, stabilizers,

roof flashing, etc. required to complete the fireplace

installation.

B. Using Offsets/Returns

To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may be

offset using an 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.

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 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 ceiling

ﬁrestop must be installed.

The effective height of the ﬁreplace assembly is measured

from the base of the ﬁreplace to the top of the starter collar.

See Dimensions in Section 12.

Perform the following steps to determine the correct chim-

ney component combination for your particular installation:

C. Assemble the Chimney Sections

Note: The ceiling ﬁrestop 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 ceiling ﬁrestop 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.

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.

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.

•

Curing of high temperature paint.

•

Open windows for air circulation.

The ﬁres must be built on the ﬁreplace grate, without danger

of the burning fuel falling out of the ﬁreplace opening.

Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

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.

•

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: 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.

•

Keep all such liquids well away from the

ﬁreplace while it is in use.

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.

Combustible materials may ignite.

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

E. Limited Warranty

WARRANTY

FOR HEAT & GLO FIREPLACES

The limited warranty will not become effective until you have mailed the completed warranty card to:

Hearth & Home Technologies Inc.

20802 Kensington Blvd., Lakeville, MN 55044.

This card must be mailed within 60 days of the fireplace installation.

Subject to the conditions set forth herein, HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES INC. (HHT) extends the following

limited warranty with respect to your Heat & Glo fireplace, excluding accessories, chimney components and glass

doors.

If HHT is satisfied that any part or portion of the fireplace covered by this warranty is defective in material or work-

manship under normal use and service as described in the operating instructions, HHT will take the following

actions:

1. Within the first five (5) years from the date of installation, HHT shall, at its option, replace or repair any such

defect in material or workmanship, at HHT’s expense. HHT SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY

OTHER LABOR COSTS, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL

DAMAGES.

2. During the sixth (6th) through the (10th) years after the date of installation, HHT shall supply replacement

parts or parts at no charge, but SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LABOR, TRANSPORTATION,

OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES.

3. During the eleventh (11th) through the fifteenth (15th) years after date of installation, HHT will send to you,

FOB its factory, replacement parts (if available) at the current minimum wholesale price, but HHT SHALL

NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LABOR, TRANSPORTATION OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES.

4. During the first six (6) months after installation, HHT shall, at its option, replace or repair the glass doors

and any electrical components, if operation is faulty. (This does not include glass panels broken during

shipment, misuse or careless handling.) After the first six (6) months, HHT will sell to you, FOB its factory,

replacement parts at the current list price, but HHT SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LABOR,

TRANSPORTATION OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES. IF GLASS DOORS OTHER THAN FACTORY

DOORS ARE USED ALL WARRANTY AND LIABILITY ON THE FIREPLACE IS VOIDED.

HHT may discharge its entire warranty liability by refunding the price of the product.

Products made by other manufacturers, sold with the fireplace or thereafter are not covered by this limited warranty.

This limited warranty will be void if the fireplace is not installed according to the installation instructions. The limited

warranty also is void if the fireplace is not operated, at all times, according to the operating instructions furnished.

The limited warranty will also be void if the fireplace is removed from the place originally installed.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL APPLY TO THE FIRE-

PLACE AFTER THE ABOVE LIMITED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.

In states that do not allow limitations on how long implied warranty lasts, or do not allow exclusion of indirect dam-

ages, those limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. You may also have additional rights not covered in this

limited warranty.

HHT reserves the right to make changes at anytime, without notice, in design, material, specifications and prices

and the right to discontinue styles and products.
