Planning Information

Planning an installation is very important to ensure

safety and to save time and money. An installer must

predetermine where a fireplace will be set and how the

chimney system will be run.

5. No more than 2 offsets (4 total 30° elbows in U.S./or

2 total 45° elbows in Canada) per fireplace may be

used.

6. A guy wire stabilizer is required for chimneys extend-

ing more than 6’ (1.8m) above a roof line.

Mounting the Fireplace

The Ten Foot Rule

The fireplace is shipped with lifting handles attached to

each side with lifting straps. NOTE: The lifting straps

are intended for ligting unit off of the skid and final

positioning. Unit should remain on skid until final

positioning. After fireplace is in position, the lifting

handle and straps may be removed or left in place.

Major U.S. building codes specify a minimum chimney

height above the roof top. The “Ten Foot Rule” is a fire

safety rule and not a draft rule. To ensure proper draft,

it is recommended that you always meet or exceed the

“Ten Foot Rule,” especially when installing a termination

on a high pitch roof. (Fig. 5)

A fireplace may only be mounted on the following

surfaces:

The key points of the "Ten Foot Rule" are:

1. A flat combustible surface.

2. A raised wooden platform.

3. A concrete block or other solid object placed beneath

each of the four (4) corners of the fireplace.

1. If the horizontal distance from the chimney to the

peak of the roof is 10’ (3m) or less, the top of the

chimney must be at least 2’ (610mm) above the peak

of the roof, but never less than 3’ (914mm) in height

above the highest point where it passes through the

roof.

The fireplace must be spaced 1” from a combustible

back wall and 1” from a combustible side wall or

support. (Page 13, Fig. 17)

2. If a horizontal distance from the chimney to the peak

of the roof is more than 10’ (3m), a chimney height

reference point is established that is on the surface

of the roof a distance of 10’ (3m) from the chimney in

a horizontal plane. The top of the chimney must be at

least 2’ (610mm) above the reference point, but

never less than 3’ (914mm) in height above the

highest point where it passes through the roof.

Reference

Point

AC246

In planning a chimney system, it is important to know:

1. The height of a chimney is measured from the

hearth to the exit point on the termination.

2. A chimney cannot be offset more than 30° from a

vertical plane.

Fig. 5 Ten Foot Rule illustration.

3. A chimney may run straight up or it may be neces-

sary to offset it to avoid obstructions.

4. The maximum length of an angled run (total chimney

system) is 20 feet.

Vermont Castings EWF36A

Chimney Supports

Installation

The chimney system is supported by the fireplace for

vertical chimney heights less than 30’ (9m) above the

hearth. Chimney supports are required if the vertical

height exceeds 30’ (9m). Locate chimney supports at

ceiling holes or other structural framing at 30’ (9m)

heights. Spacing between chimney supports must not

exceed 30’ (9m). Use Chimney Support Model TCS8A.

(NOTE: The TCS8A cannot be mounted directly to

the fireplace.) Support provided by elbow straps fulfills

the support requirement only if they are spaced as

previously described. (A chimney support is 2¹⁄₂"

(64mm) long when installed.)

Insulating Fireplace Enclosure

for Cold Climates

If you live in a cold climate, it is not required but

highly recommended that you insulate fireplace

enclosure to eliminate cold air penetration as much as

possible.

Insulate base of fireplace with a noncombustible

insulation rated for a minimum of 300° F. Insulating is

very important for outside wall installations over a

concrete slab. If fireplace is installed on a platform,

insulation should be placed on top of the platform

before fireplace is set. (Fig. 7)

Angled chimney runs require a support every 6’ (1.8m)

in addition to the elbow straps. Chimney supports are

used for this function. (Fig. 6)

When a fireplace is installed in a chase or on an

outside wall, enclosure should be treated like any

outside wall in a home. Insulation should be installed

on the inside wall as well as the outside wall(s). In a

chase, it is also a good idea to install a firestop at the

first ceiling level above the fireplace and enclose the

chase with sheeting material. Insulation may then be

installed above sheeting material to assure the space

around the fireplace is totally protected. (Fig. 2)

Chimney

Support Strap

When installing the chimney, DO NOT caulk between

outer pipe and firestop. It is vital that some air be

allowed to flow through this very thin gap.

TCS8A

CAUTION: When installing a fireplace in an

insulated enclosure, be sure all required air

spaces are maintained. (Page 13, Fig. 17)

FP284a

Fig. 6 Chimney support installation.

Chase Installation

A chase is a vertical box-like structure which encloses

the fireplace and/or chimney. Chases are typically built

on the outside of the house with fireplace opening cut

into the outer wall of a room. (Page 5, Fig. 2)

If you need help in determining fireplace location or how

the chimney system should be run, contact your Ver-

mont Castings, Majestic Products dealer for assistance.

Framing

Using a plumb bob positioned directly over center point

of fireplace flue collar, mark the ceiling to establish the

chimney center point. (Fig. 8)

Framing can be constructed before or after the fireplace

is set in place, however, most installers build the frame

before setting the fireplace.

Chimney Centerline

Actual Centerpoint

Frame fireplace with 2 x 4 lumber or heavier materials.

Refer to framing dimensions in Figure 1 for basic

fireplace specifications.

NOTE: Framing should be positioned to accommodate

wall covering and fireplace facing material.

EB1 (Receptacle) Hookup

Option for Circulating Models Only

Wiring should be installed by a certified electrician.

Turn off circuit breaker before wiring models.

Plumb Line

Plumb Bob

Once fireplace is secured, complete wiring the fan kit.

Remove knockout in the center of the back of the EB1

and install listed cable clamps. Feed electrical wire

through listed cable clamp leaving approximately six (6)

inches of wire exposed through the EB1. Secure listed

cable clamp to the wire.

Imaginary

Centerpoint

Attach white wire from power source to one (1) wire of

receptacle and secure with nut. Attach black wire from

power source to the other wire of receptacle and

secure with nut. Be sure nuts are secured tightly.

Secure EB1 assembly to inside of electrical box

coverplate using two screws. Attach cover to face of the

EB1 while being careful to position excess wire com-

pletely within the EB1, then attach coverplate to fire-

place.

Chimney Set-Up

Since you have already planned the chimney run, you

should know exactly how the installation is to be

accomplished - how much pipe is required, the number

of elbows, if any, and type of termination to be used.

FPC556a

CAUTION: Report to your dealer any parts damaged in

shipment, specifically check the end connection of

chimney sections and elbows.

Fig. 8 Locate centerline of chimney with plumb line.

Offset Installation

NOTE: The EWF36A fireplace must use Vermont

Castings, Majestic Products model triple wall 8” chim-

ney components only. The installation procedure

described in this manual applies only to this system.

In order to clear an obstruction, it may be necessary to

offset chimney from vertical. This is accomplished by

using elbows. Use the 30˚ Offset Elbow table on Page 6

to determine proper offset and parts required.

Each offset requires two (2) elbows. The second elbow

is equipped with support straps. It is very important to

install the second elbow in each offset as close to the

ceiling or support as possible so that the elbow straps

can be secured to framing members to help support the

weight of the chimney.

Straight-Up Chimney Installation

To mark the centerline of the flue, put the fireplace in

final position and measure out from the wall: 9¹⁄₂"

(241mm). Mark a spot on the ceiling directly above the

fireplace. Draw a line parallel to the back wall through

this mark. (Fig. 8)

Determine offset distance of your chimney arrangement

from centerline of fireplace to centerline of chimney

where it is to pass through ceiling.

tion. The safety strips provided have a 1” offset. For

applications with a greater offset, “Z” shaped strips will

have to be fabricated of metal. Overlap safety strips at

least 1/2” to provide a positive joint. The safety strips

must also extend at least 1¹⁄₂” (38mm) beyond the sides

of the fireplace. (Fig. 11)

The inside dimension of the frame must be the same

as the hole size selected from Figure 9 in order to

provide required the 2” (51mm) air space between the

outside diameter of the chimney and the edges of the

framed ceiling hole.

NOTE: Safety strips are not required over noncombus-

tible floors where all supports at the base of the fire-

place are noncombustible.

It is a good practice to protect your hands and eyes

during installation by wearing work gloves and safety

glasses.

1. Remove and discard the outside air cover plate

located at the center of both sides of the fireplace.

Use care not to rub against the sharp edges of this

opening to avoid cuts. Remove the four (4) screws

exposed when cover plate is removed. Retain for

future use.

CAUTION: Do not install termination into a garage

or other area that could contain flammable liquids

or fumes, or into an attic space.

Installing the Firestop Spacer

in the Ceiling Hole

Installing the Chimney System

Start by attaching the first chimney section to the collar

on top of the fireplace.

A firestop spacer is used to keep pipe spaced properly

and required for safety.

Install the pipe as pictured in Figure 15. When you get

a good lock, you will hear the pipe clearly snap to-

gether. Once sections are snap-locked in place, it is

extremely difficult to get them apart. Make sure the

pipe is firmly snapped and locked together as each

pipe section is mounted.

Nail the firestop spacer (at each corner) to the framing

members of the ceiling hole. NOTE: A firestop spacer

is not required at the roof.

Hole sizes listed in Figure 9 for angled firestop spacers

provide minimum required air space to chimney pipe for

ceiling thickness up to 8” (203mm). When combined

thickness of ceiling material, ceiling joists and flooring

material exceeds 8” (203mm), adjustments must be

made in framing to assure that minimum air spaces to

chimney are maintained.

When installing elbows, only outer pipe will snap- lock.

Middle pipes simply slide into position. Be sure to

always attach straps on upper elbow to a structural

framing member. (Fig. 16)

Continue installing the pipe as required until pipe is

installed up through the ceiling. At this point, you must

install a firestop spacer.

Canadian Requirements

for Insulation Shield

If a chase is used, refer to the installation manual

provided with the termination cap.

In Canada, an attic insulation shield is required to

prevent attic insulaiton from contacxting the chimney

section. Framing dimensions fr the chimney hole should

measure 17¹⁄₂” x 17¹⁄₂” (445mm x 445mm). An attic

shield MUST be installed on top of attic joists (above

the floor level). (Fig. 18)

Locate Chimney Centerpoint on Roof

Use same procedure detailed in locating center point of

the flue system.

Drive a nail up through roof at the center point. This will

determine center point on outside of the roof.

Side Wall Protection

The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above the

fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This

also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if

fitted) and the fireplace.

Adjacent combustible side walls that are within mini-

mum dimensions shown in Figure 24 of the fireplace

Model SP40 or a specifically built wall shield described

in Figure 19.

For the correct mounting heights and widths, refer to

Figures 21 and 22. When using paint or lacquer to

finish the mantel, such paint or lacquer must be heat

resistant to prevent discoloration.

The special wall shield design described in Figure 19 is

an alternate method of adding protection to side walls

Operation

Damper

Attach Handles

Primary Air Control

The fallaway handles are used to open and close the

front doors. Remove after each use so they will not get

hot. Keep in convenient location for each use. (Fig. 26)

Assemble the primary air control and damper handles

by passing the 3³⁄₈” screw through the ceramic shaft

and into the bright metal hub. Tighten carefully until

snug. Do not overtighten. Ceramic handle could crack.

(Fig. 27)

Steel Handle

FP1203

Fallaway Handle

Fig. 28 EWF36A controls.

The primary air control is located in the upper left

corner of the unit. (Fig. 26) It is the primary source of

air for starting, maintaining, and reviving the fire.

FP1397

Generally, more air entering the fireplace makes the fire

burn hotter and faster, while less air prolongs the burn.

Fig. 26 Insert fallaway handles into door handle stubs.

The air supply is open to the maximum when the

control lever is rotated clockwise, and closed when

rotated counterclockwise. To vary the burn rate, adjust

the control to the desired position in between these

extremes; opening the primary air control makes the

unit burn hotter. Closing the control slows the unit

down. You may adjust to any position you desire.

Metal Hub

The Damper

Ceramic Shaft

The damper directs air flow within the fireplace.

The damper is operated by moving the lever located in

the upper right corner of the unit. It has two positions:

Open to start or revive the fire and closed, for normal

operation and to control burn rate. The damper is open

when the lever is fully rotated counterclockwise and

pulled out and closed when pushed in. When the

damper is in the open position, with the lever pulled out,

and rotated fully in the clockwise direction, the handle

can ‘telescope’ back without closing the damper or any

damper movement. There are no intermediate settings

for the damper.

Screw

FP1396

Fig. 27 Assemble primary air control and damper handles.

EWF36A Controls

Three controls regulate the performance of the

EWF36A fireplace: A primary air control supplies

oxygen for the fire, the damper directs air flow within

the fireplace and a variable-speed fan control, or

rheostat, regulates the warm air flow into the room.

(Fig. 28)

NOTE: Full clockwise or counterclockwise movement of

the damper handle is approximately 50°.

NOTE: Always open the damper before opening the

doors. Close damper to set burn rate.

Primary Air Control

A single air control regulates the amount of heat the fire

will produce and how long it will burn.

Vermont Castings EWF36A

The Fan

for short-term storage, however, keep wood a safe

distance from the heater and keep it out of the areas

around the heater used for refueling and ash removal.

Heated air from the fireplace is forced into the room by

an internal fan. The control for the fan is in the right

corner of the unit.

Use the Air Control Settings

that Work Best for You

“Off” is to the far left.

“High” is just to the right of “Off.”

“Low” is to the far right.

No single air control setting will fit every situation. Each

installation will differ depending on the quality of the

fuel, the amount of heat desired, and how long you wish

the fire to burn.

Variable adjustment of the fans is possible with any

setting between “high” and “low.”

The control setting also depends on your particular

installation’s “draft,” or the force that moves air from the

stove up through the chimney. Draft is affected by such

things as the length, type, and location of the chimney,

local geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors.

For best results, coordinate fan speed with the setting

of the primary air control. For example, when the air

control lever is set at “low,” also set the fan at “low.”

With the air control set for maximum heat, set the fan at

“high.”

Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in

the fireplace. On the other hand, too little draft can

cause backpuffing into the room and/or the “plugging” of

the chimney or combustor.

Glass Doors

The EWF36A is intended for use with the doors fully

closed or fully open only when optional spark screen is

installed. (Fig. 29) NOTE: When operated with the

doors open and spark screen in place, the damper

MUST be in the open position.

How do you know if your draft is excessively high or

low? Symptoms of too much draft include an uncontrol-

lable burn or a glowing-red part of the EWF36A front. A

sign of inadequate draft is smoke leaking into the room

through the stove or chimney connector joints, low heat,

and dirty glass.

In some newer homes that are well-insulated and

weather-tight, poor draft may result from insufficient air

in the house. In such instances, an open window near

the stove on the windward side of the house will provide

the fresh air needed.

Optional

KT108b

Screen

Fig. 29 Correct door position during operation.

Another option for getting more combustion air to the

stove is to duct air directly from the outside to the stove.

In fact, in some areas provisions for outside combustion

air are required in all new construction.

Burn Only High-Quality Wood

The EWF36A is designed to burn natural wood only;

do not burn fuels other than that for which it was

designed.

Your EWF36A is designed so that it is possible to

incorporate outside air for combustion. Directions for

installing the optional AK-MST outside air ducts are

included with the kits and beginning on Page 11 of this

instruction.

You will enjoy the best results when burning wood that

has been adequately air-dried. Avoid burning “green”

wood that has not been properly seasoned.

The best hardwood fuels include oak, maple, beech,

ash, and hickory that has been split, stacked, and air-

dried outside under cover for at least one year.

When first using the stove, keep track of the settings of

the air controls. You will quickly find that a specific

setting will give you a fixed amount of heat. It may take

a week or two to determine the amount of heat and the

length of burn you should expect from various settings.

For areas that do not have a supply of hardwood,

commonly burned softwoods include tamarack, yellow

pine, white pine, Eastern red cedar, fir, and redwood.

These too should be properly dried. Your EWF36A will

accept wood up to 24" (610 mm). Longer wood pieces

work better than short ones.

Most installations do not require a large amount of

combustion air, especially if adequate draft is available.

Do not for any reason attempt to increase the firing

of your heater by altering the air control adjustment

range outlined in these directions.

Wood should be stored under cover to maintain dry-

ness, and should be dried at least six months for

optimum heating and fire-viewing performance. Even

5. Once a good ember bed of at least 2-3" (51-76 mm)

has formed, let the fire burn hot for an additional ten

to fifteen minutes.

Starting and Maintaining a Wood Fire

Burn solid wood fuel only in the EWF36A, and burn

it directly on the grate. Do not elevate the fuel. Do

not burn coal or other fuels.

6. Close the damper and the primary air control to a

medium-low setting as described on Page 18. The

fire volume will diminish immediately, but the

fireplace will continue to heat up. Maintain control of

the fire using the primary air control, and remember:

reduce the setting for less heat, increase the setting

for more heat. Refer to the air control settings

information on Page 18 for recommended settings at

different burn rates.

Minimize thermal stress by allowing the plates to adjust

gradually during an initial break-in fire by following

Steps 1-3 below.

WARNING: Operate your EWF36A only with the

doors fully closed. If the door is left partially open,

gas and flame may be drawn out of the fireplace

opening, creating risks of both fire and smoke.

1. Open the primary air control fully.

2. Open the damper.

DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER. Overfiring may

cause a house fire, or can result in permanent damage

to the stove. If an exterior part of the EWF36A glows,

you are overfiring.

3. Lay some crumpled newspapers on the bottom

grate. Place on the paper six or eight pieces of dry,

finely-split kindling. On the kindling lay two or three

larger sticks of split dry wood approximately 1-2"

(25-50 mm).

Reloading and Reviving a Wood Fire

• Open the damper and set the air control on “High,”

and wait at least fifteen seconds for the draft to

increase. Open the door slowly.

Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire. Do

not burn garbage or flammable fluids such as

gasoline, naptha, or engine oil.

• Check the ash level, and empty the ash pan if

necessary. Replace the pan.

Also, never use gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,

charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or

“freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids

well away from the heater while it is in use.

• Add the fuel, smaller pieces first. If it is necessary to

use wood smaller than the 24" (610mm) optimum

size, be sure to fill the firebox as completely as

possible by loading the wood pieces alternately on

the left and right. Split wood will fill the firebox more

completely and reduce the frequency of reloading.

4. Light the newspaper and close the door. Gradually

build up the fire by adding a few 3-5" (80-120mm)

diameter splits.

If you have an ember bed of at least 2-3" (51-76 mm),

leave the thermostat set on "high" for 10-15 minutes. If

the ember bed is less than 2-3" (51-76mm), you may

have to let it burn longer.

If this is your initial break-in fire, let the fire burn brightly,

but not to excess. Control the fire's intensity by adjust-

ing the air control lever. After an hour or so stop adding

wood so that the fire dies out gradually.

Finally, close the damper and adjust the air control and

fan speed for your desired heat level.

For ongoing operation after the initial break-in, continue

to add a few sticks at a time of a progressively larger

size. Continue until you have a live ember bed at least

2-3" (51-76mm) deep. This may take an hour or longer.

NOTE: If the charcoal bed is relatively thick and your

fuel is well-seasoned, it is possible to add fresh fuel

(smaller pieces first), close the door and damper, and

reset the air control within five minutes.

CAUTION: THE EWF36A IS HOT WHILE IN OPERA-

TION! KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING, AND FURNI-

TURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN

BURNS.

Special Tactics for Cold-Climate Heating

The EWF36A is capable of producing in excess of

100,000 Btu's/hour and heating an area of up to 2,500 sq.

ft.(558 sq. m) However, many factors affect heating

performance and can influence the extent to which the

EWF36A can heat a given area.

NOTE: Some chimneys need to be “primed,” or

warmed up, before they will draw sufficiently to open

the damper. To correct this situation, roll up a couple

pieces of newspaper, place them on top of the kindling

and toward the back of the stove, light them, and close

the doors. This should heat the chimney enough to

initiate a draft.

A well-insulated home, located in a moderate climate

and with the EWF36A Fireplace located centrally in an

open floor plan, will be easier to heat than a drafty

home in the far north in which the EWF36A is installed

on an exterior wall at the end of a long house.

Once the draft is established, open the front door and

light the rest of the fuel from the bottom. Do not light the

main bed of fuel until the chimney begins drawing, and

repeat the procedure as often as necessary if the initial

attempt is unsuccessful.

Vermont Castings EWF36A

Different results may be experienced even in the same

installation if you switch from burning good, dry wood to

wood that is partially rotted or inadequately seasoned.

Empty the ash pans regularly, typically every one to

three days. The frequency will vary depending on how

you operate your EWF36A: If you burn more wood at

higher heat output settings, and ash will accumulate

faster.

To compensate for these factors in cold climates, it may

be necessary to operate the EWF36A with the air

control set to a higher level more of the time.

Ash should be removed frequently and placed outdoors

in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed

container of ash should be placed on a noncombustible

floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible

materials, pending final disposal. If the ash is disposed

of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, it

should be retained in the closed container until all

cinders have thoroughly cooled. Wood ash may be

used as a garden fertilizer.

Remove and Store Ash Safely

Check the ash pan before reloading the stove, and

empty if necessary using the following procedure:

•

Open the damper.

Open the load door.

Remove the ash pans from under the hearth

brick. The EWF comes with a cover for the ash

pan. To install this cover, hold just above the ash

pans with the handle on the cover closest to you.

Slide the cover onto the top of the pan as you pull

the pan out. As the pan slides out, the flange on

the back of the cover should slide into the slot in

the back of the ash pan and the flange on the

front of the cover will slide over the handle on the

ash pan. CAUTION: Do not pull the pan out too

far before the cover engages the slot. Ash may

contain hot coals and must be treated with

extreme care. Hold the covered ash pan with both

hands to avoid dropping or spilling the ashes.

Take the pans outdoors and empty the ash into

an ash container.

CAUTION: Never use your household or shop vacuum

cleaner to remove ash from the fireplace; always

remove and dispose of the ash properly.

•

Before replacing the ash pan, clear away any ash

that has spilled over the sides and back of the

pan.

•

Replace the ash pans and front door.

Be sure the glass is completely cool.

Cleaning with water will work in most cases. Use

a glass cleaner especially made for this purpose

only if deposits are especially heavy. (If heavy

deposits are a frequent occurrence, however,

evaluate your operating techniques.)

•

Rinse the glass thoroughly.

Dry the glass completely.

The Catalytic Element

This wood heater contains a catalytic combustor, which

needs periodic inspection and replacement for proper

operation. In the United States, it is against the law to

operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with

the operating instructions in this manual, or if the

catalytic element is deactivated or removed.

NOTE: The EWF36A glass is coated with a special

material on the outside that helps reflect heat back

into the fire chamber. Do not attempt to remove

this coating.

Adjust the Door Latch Periodically

The front door of the fireplace should close securely to

prevent accidental opening and should close tightly to

prevent air from leaking into the fire chamber. The door

handles will be positioned vertically when the door is

closed.

Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic com-

bustor should remain active for two to six years (de-

pending on the amount of wood burned). However, it is

important to monitor the combustor periodically to

ensure that it is functioning properly, as well as to

determine when it needs to be replaced. A nonfunc-

tional combustor will result in a loss of heating effi-

ciency, and an increase in creosote and emissions.

Over a period of time, the gasket around the door will

compress and the latch may need adjustment. To

adjust the handle, follow this procedure (Fig. 30):

1. Loosen the small lock nut with a wrench.

Inspection and Cleaning

2. Extend the striker screw one turn by turning it with

an Allen wrench.

Inspect the combustor “in place” for fly ash accumula-

tion and physical damage three times per year. Do not

remove the combustor unless a more detailed inspec-

tion is warranted because of diminished performances

as outlined in the next section.

3. Retighten the lock nut, while at the same time

holding the striker screw with the Allen wrench to

prevent its turning.

Test the door seal. Close the door on a dollar bill and

attempt to pull it free. If the bill is freed with little

Vermont Castings EWF36A

When to Suspect a Combustor Problem

Wedge (In Place)

The best way to evaluate the performance of your

EWF36A’s combustor is to observe the amount of smoke

leaving the chimney - both when the combustor has

“lighted-off” and when it has not. Follow these steps:

• With a fire going and the combustor properly acti-

vated, with the damper closed to route smoke

through it as described in the Operation Section, go

outside and observe the smoke leaving the chimney.

• Then, open the stove damper and once again check

Assembly out of fireplace.

the smoke leaving the chimney.

You should see significantly more smoke when the

stove damper is open and exhaust does not pass

through the combustor. However, be careful not to

confuse smoke with steam from wet wood. Steam

dissipates in the air quickly; smoke does not.

passages. Such abrasion can scrape the thin

coating of platinum (the catalyst) off the ceramic

base, shortening the catalyst’s life and reducing its

effectiveness.

5. Inspect the element for damage or degradation.

Although small hairline cracks will not affect perfor-

mance, the element should be essentially intact. If

the element is broken in pieces or has sections

missing, it should be replaced. Call your local

Vermont Castings, Majestic Products authorized

dealer for a replacement element.

If this test indicates a problem, consider other possible

factors as well, such as the weather or a change in the

quality of your fuel. In warm weather, draft is weaker

than it is in colder winter weather and fires can burn

sluggishly. Small, hot fires are a good solution under

these conditions.

6. If the element is in good condition and clean,

reinstall it in the fireplace.

Burning “green” (insufficiently seasoned) wood will

result in poorer performance than burning properly

seasoned fuel. You may have to run your fireplace

hotter (more air) to achieve acceptable performance

using green or wet wood.

Operate the stove in your usual manner for two weeks,

inspecting the chimney and the chimney connector

frequently during this period.

Also consider any changes in your operating routine.

Once you have ruled out any other possible causes for

a decline in performance, inspect and clean the com-

bustor if necessary.

If creosote does not build up as fast, it is likely that the

performance change was caused by fly ash deposits on

the catalytic element. However, continue the inspec-

tions of the chimney system for a few weeks to ensure

that proper performance continues.

Inspecting the Combustor

If you continue to find a significant creosote buildup or if

you continue to see excessive smoke form the chimney,

the catalytic element will need to be replaced. Contact

your nearest Vermont Castings, Majestic Products

authorized dealer.

Use a flashlight and mirror, if necessary, to examine the

combustor. If no fly ash or damage is visible, the

inspection is complete. If closer examination, cleaning

or replacing is needed, go to the next section.

NOTE: Use only the replacement catalyst supplied by a

Vermont Castings, Majestic Products dealer.

Removing, Cleaning or

Replacing the Combustor

How to Replace Gaskets

1. Allow fireplace to cool.

2. Tap the left and right wedges back and remove. (Fig.

31)

The EWF36A uses rope-type fiberglass gaskets to

make a tight seal between some parts. With use,

particularly on those parts that move, gaskets can

become brittle and compressed and can begin to lose

their effectiveness. These will need periodic replace-

ment.

3. Carefully slide catalyst assembly to the back of the

fireplace and out of the retaining brackets.

4. Check the combustor’s honeycomb-like element for

a buildup of fly ash. If any is evident, take the

combustor outside and clean it by blowing air gently

through it. Do not push anything through the honey-

comb; do not use compressed air to clear the

All of the gaskets used are made of fiberglass. The

four sizes of replaceable gasket are listed below, along

with their application.

Should you need to change a replaceable gasket, wait

until the fire is out and the stove has cooled. Be sure to

follow the standard safety procedure for working with

dusty materials: Wear safety goggles and a dust mask.

The procedure for replacing gaskets is the same,

regardless of the gasket location. Four easily-accom-

plished steps are involved:

Learn to Recognize —

and Avoid — Creosote

The EWF36A has been designed to reduce creosote

build-up significantly. However, regular chimney

inspection and maintenance must still be performed.

For safety, good stove performance, and to protect your

chimney and chimney connector, inspect your chimney

and chimney connector on a regular schedule. Clean

the system if necessary. Failure to keep the chimney

and connector system clean can result in a serious

chimney fire.

1. Remove the existing fiberglass gasket by grasping

an end and pulling firmly.

2. Use a wire brush or the tip of a screwdriver to clean

the channel of any remaining cement or bits of

gasket.

3. Apply a thin bead of stove cement to the newly-

cleaned groove.

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar, organic

vapors and moisture which combine to form creosote.

The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool

chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creo-

sote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When

ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire within

the flue system that can damage the chimney and

overheat adjacent combustible material. If a significant

layer of creosote has accumulated —1/8" (3mm) or

more — it should be removed to reduce the risk of a

chimney fire.

4. Pack a new gasket into the groove. Wait until you

have placed all but a couple inches from the end

before you trim the end to an exact fit.

5. Place door back on fireplace, latch door and keep

closed for 1/2 hour to insure cement has set.

Replacing the Door Gaskets

Remove the door by lifting it straight up off its hinge

pins. Lay it face down on a padded surface.

Follow steps 1-4 as described above.

If you do experience a chimney fire, act promptly to:

Replace Damaged Door Glass Immediately

•

Close the primary air control lever and the

damper

Get everyone out of the house.

Call the Fire Department.

Do not operate the fireplace with damaged glass door.

Use the following procedure for glass replacement.

•

NOTE: Replace glass only with the replacement glass

made for this unit, available from your authorized

dealer.

You should inspect the system every two weeks during

the heating season as part of a regular maintenance

schedule. To inspect the chimney, let the fireplace cool

completely. Remove the termination top. Then, using a

strong light, sight down into the chimney flue.

• Remove the door and loosen the retaining clips which

hold the glass to the door frame. Remove clips. Use

caution when handling broken glass.

• Examine the gasket that seals the glass to the door

frame. Replace if necessary with gasket obtained from

your local Vermont Castings’ Authorized Dealer. See

the directions for gasket replacement on Page 23.

• Check the flat surface of the door frame, and clear

away debris if necessary.

• Install the new glass.

Clean the chimney using a specially designed brush the

same size and shape as the flue liner. Flexible fiber-

glass rods are used to run the brush up and down the

liner, causing any deposits to fall to the bottom of the

chimney where they can be removed through the clean-

out door on top of the fireplace.

If you can not do the chimney inspection yourself,

contact your local Vermont Castings' Authorized Dealer,

or engage a professional chimney sweep to perform the

inspection and cleaning of the chimney.

• Secure the clips, being careful not to overtighten. Be

sure the glass is firmly seated against the gasket.

• Replace door.

Vermont Castings EWF36A

Warranty

Exclusions & Limitations

Limited 3 Year Warranty

1. This warranty is transferable; however, proof of original retail

purchase is required.

Vermont Castings, Majestic Products warrants that this

woodburning fireplace will be free of defects in material and

workmanship for a period of three years from the date you receive

it, except that the catalyst, thermostat assembly, handles, glass

door panels, cement, and gasketing shall be warranted as

described below.

2. This warranty does not cover misuse of the EWF36A. Misuse

includes overfiring which will result if the fireplace is used in such a

manner as to cause one or more of the plates to glow red. Overfiring

can be identified later by warped plates and areas where the paint

pigment has burned off. Overfiring in enamel fireplaces is identified by

bubbling, cracking, chipping and discoloration of the porcelain enamel

finish. Vermont Castings, Majestic Products offers no warranty on

chipping of enamel surfaces. Inspect your woodburning fireplace prior

to accepting it for any damage to the enamel.

Vermont Castings, Majestic Products will repair or replace, at its option,

any part found to be defective upon inspection by a Vermont Castings,

Majestic Products Authorized Dealer. The customer must return the

defective part or the fireplace, with shipping prepaid, to the Authorized

Dealer or pay for any Authorized Dealer in-home travel fees or service

charges for in-home repair work. It is the dealer's option whether the

repair work will be done in the customer's home or in the dealer's shop.

If, upon inspection, the damage is found to be the fault of the manufac-

turer, repairs will be authorized at no charge to the customer for parts

and/or labor.

3. This warranty does not cover misuse of the fireplace as described in

the Owner’s Guide, nor does it cover any fireplace which has been

modified unless authorized by a Vermont Castings, Majestic Products

representative in writing. This warranty does not cover damage to the

fireplace caused by burning salt saturated wood, chemically treated

wood, or any fuel not recommended in the Owner’s Guide.

4. This warranty does not cover a fireplace repaired by someone other

than a Vermont Castings, Majestic Products Authorized Dealer.

Any woodburning fireplace or part thereof that is repaired or replaced

during the limited warranty period will be warranted under the terms of

the limited warranty for a period not to exceed the remaining term of the

original limited warranty or six (6) months, whichever is longer.

5. Damage to the unit while in transit is not covered by this warranty but

is subject to a claim against the common carrier. Contact Vermont

Castings, Majestic Products Authorized Dealer from whom you

purchased your fireplace or Vermont Castings, Majestic Products if the

purchase was direct. (Do not operate the fireplace as this may negate

the ability to process the claim with the carrier.)

Limited 1 Year Warranty

The following parts of the woodburning fireplace are warranted to be

free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year

from the date you receive it: The thermostat assembly, handles, glass

door panels, cement, and gasketing. Any of these items found to be

defective will be repaired or replaced at no charge, upon the return of

the part with postage prepaid to a Vermont Castings, Majestic Products

Authorized Dealer.

6. Claims are not valid where the installation does not conform to local

building and fire codes or, in their absence, to the recommendations in

our Owner’s Guide.

7. The salt air environment of coastal areas, or a high-humidity

environment, can be corrosive to the porcelain enamel finish. These

conditions can cause rusting of the cast iron beneath the porcelain

enamel finish, which will cause the porcelain enamel finish to flake off.

This warranty does not cover damage caused by a salt air or high-

humidity environment.

Any part repaired or replaced during the limited warranty period will be

warranted under the terms of the limited warranty for a period not to

exceed the remaining term of the original limited warranty or six (6)

months, whichever is longer.

8. Vermont Castings, Majestic Products shall have no obligation to

enhance or update any unit once manufactured.

Limited Catalyst Warranty

The catalyst will be warranted for a six year period as follows: If the

original catalyst or a replacement catalyst proves defective or ceases to

maintain 70% of its particulate emission reduction activity (as measured

by an approved testing procedure) within 24 months from the date the

EWF36A is received, the catalyst itself will be replaced free.

IN NO EVENT SHALL VERMONT CASTINGS, MAJESTIC PRODUCTS

BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRAN-

TIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS, ARE LIMITED TO THE

DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY. THIS WARRANTY

SUPERCEDES ALL OTHER ORAL OR WRITTEN WARRANTIES.

From 25 - 72 months a pro-rated credit will be allowed against a

replacement catalyst and the cost of labor necessary for its installation

at the time of replacement.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitations of incidential and

consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty

lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives

you specific rights and you may have other rights which vary from state

to state.

A third year (25 - 36 months) of no charge replacement will be made

when combustor failure is due to thermal degradation of the substrate

(crumbling of ceramic material). The customer must pay for any in-

home travel fees, service charges, or transportation costs for returning

the EWF36A to the Authorized Dealer.
