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

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).

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).

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.
