OPERATION GUIDELINES  
air; this permits flexibility in planning your installation. See  
Figures 24 thru 27 and their instructions for typical installa-  
tion of outside combustion air kits. Review the precautions  
and recommendations in this manual pertaining to outside  
combustion air.  
HOW YOUR FIREPLACE SHOULD BE USED  
This fireplace is intended for supplemental heating only and  
is not intended for use as a primary heating system.  
This fireplace is designed to sit directly on a combustible  
floor. The fireplace must be installed with clearances to com-  
bustible building materials as specified by this manual. Only  
parts manufactured by Martin Hearth and Heating and labeled  
for use with this fireplace should be used in the installation  
of the fireplace except for special roof flashings that may be  
fabricated locally. The use of improper parts in the installation  
can be hazardous and voids the warranty offered by Martin  
Hearth and Heating.  
Note: Outside air for combustion is optional in  
residential type installations unless required  
by local codes. Outside air for combustion  
it is mandatory in manufactured home  
installations. Use anAK6 outside combustion  
air kit in manufactured home installations,  
instead of theAK4 offered for residential type  
installations.  
This fireplace is designed to burn solid wood fuel (wood),  
UL- classified processed solid fuel fire logs, or a certified  
decorative gas appliance may be installed in the fireplace as  
described later by this instruction manual.  
GLASS DOORS  
Glass doors (models GD36BA, GD36PBA, GD36SSA,  
GD42BA, GD42PBA and GD42SSA by Martin Hearth and  
Heating) may be installed to receive the maximum benefit  
from your fireplace. For large fires, the maximum heating  
benefit from the fireplace will be obtained with the doors open  
due to the high amount of radiant heat being emitted out of  
the front opening of the fireplace. With a small fire, or before  
retiring in the evenings, it is best to operate the fireplace with  
the doors closed to prevent excessive room air from being  
drawn up the chimney. When the doors are open, the mesh  
screens should be closed to help keep burning embers from  
popping out of the firebox.  
This fireplace is not designed to burn coal, unplumbed liquid  
fuels, unplumbed gaseous fuels or household refuse. Any  
attempt to burn these fuels in the fireplace can be hazard-  
ous.  
HOW YOUR FIREPLACE WORKS  
As wood is burned in the fireplace, room air entering the  
fireplace is circulated around the fireplace firebox. This air  
circulation protects the firebox from overheating.Air circula-  
tion through the fireplace must not be blocked or restricted  
in any manner. Blocking or restricting air circulation through  
the fireplace can cause a fire hazard.  
Note: Glass doors are mandatory on fireplaces  
installed in manufactured homes.  
RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION  
In residential type installation, anAK4 outside combustion air  
kit may be connected to the left side of the fireplace to allow  
outside air to enter the firebox through a dampered opening in  
that side of the fireplace. This outside combustion air feature  
reduces the room air used for combustion and prevents exces-  
sive heat loss from the room. When the fireplace is in use,  
the fireplaceʼs “outside combustion air” damper connected  
to an AK4 may be opened to allow air from outside to enter  
the fireplace firebox. When the fireplace is not in use, the  
“outside combustion air” damper should be closed to prevent  
cold air from entering the firebox. An “outside combustion  
air” damper is open when its control lever is up and closed  
when its control lever is down. Acontrol lever for the outside  
combustion airdamper is located inside the firebox near the top  
of the side firebrick on the left side of the fireplace. The design  
of the fireplace allows the routing of the combustion air duct  
downward or horizontally to obtain the outside combustion  
Fireplaces equipped with glass doors  
should be operated only with the  
glass doors fully open or fully closed.  
If doors are left partly open, gas and  
flame may be drawn out of the fireplace  
opening, creating risks of both fire and  
smoke.

OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES  
CHIMNEYS  
FLUE DAMPER  
All fireplace chimneys are in direct contact with cold air on the  
exterior of the structure. Consequently, when the fireplace is  
not in use, cold air can fall down the chimney of the fireplace  
to cool off the fireplace chase. Therefore, the fireplace chase  
must be insulated to minimize the risk of cold coming into  
the home. Even if the fireplace chase is adequately insulated,  
this cannot completely ensure that cold air coming into the  
structure will be eliminated. Cold air coming inside is a pos-  
sibility with any fireplace or device that freely uses air on the  
outside of the structure. Todayʼs homes are more energy-effi-  
cient and, therefore, better insulated and tightly constructed.  
Unfortunately, when air is removed from the house (by a  
bathroom fan or consumed by a furnace) additional air is  
needed to replace the air consumed. Unless the additional air  
is supplied, this can cause a negative pressure in the home.  
When this happens, the house will draw in outside air from  
the cracks in the windows, down the fireplace flue or other  
locations of air leakage in the home. Because cold air coming  
in may be unavoidable in some structures, Martin Hearth  
and Heating is not responsible for heat loss or air infiltration  
through or around the fireplace.  
The fireplace also is equipped with a flue damper which must  
be open when the fireplace is in use. The flue damper control  
lever is located inside the fireplace. The counterweighted  
damper is operated by simply unlocking up to open or pulling  
and locking down to close the damper. When the fireplace is  
not in use, the damper should be closed to prevent cold air  
form entering the chimney as well as preventing warm air in  
the room from escaping up the chimney.  
Note: It is normal for a small amount of smoke to  
be released from the upper portion of the  
fireplace the first few times you use your  
new Martin Hearth and Heating fireplace.  
This results from an oil residue on the metal.  
Open a door or window to allow the smoke  
to escape.  
GRATE  
The grate included with this fireplace helps to appropriately  
locate and contain the burning wood.  
Failure to use this grate may cause  
overheating of parts of the fireplace  
and allow large pieces of burning  
wood to roll forward out of the firebox.  
Replace warped or damaged grate  
only with a Martin Hearth and Heating  
grate.

FIREPLACE LOCATION  
Plan for the installation of your fireplace. This includes determining  
where the unit is to be installed, the vent configuration to be used, framing  
and finishing details, and whether any optional accessories (i.e. blower,  
wall switch, or remote control) are desired. Consult your local building  
code agency to ensure compliance with local codes, including permits  
and inspections.  
Do not install fireplace  
over carpeting.  
The following factors should be taken into consideration:  
This fireplace should have sufficient access for its safe operation and maintenance.  
Locate a position where the flue system of the fireplace can be properly installed without damaging the integrity  
of the building. e.g. cutting wall or ceiling joist (example: load-bearing framing members).  
Install floor protection when the appliance is installed directly on tile or other combustible material.  
Check fireplace and flue system clearance requirements.  
Locate the fireplace in a large and open room that is centrally located in the house. This will optimize heat  
circulation and comfort.  
Locate fireplace away from frequently opened doors, central heat outlets or returns, or other places where air  
movements may disturb the airflow around the fireplace.  
Note: Air turbulence near the fireplace may cause smoke to spill out of the fireplace opening.  
Locate fireplace near a load bearing wall. Make sure the support structure is strong enough or reinforced if  
fireplace is to be trimmed with a heavy stone or brick facing and hearth extension.  
Thisreplacemaybeinstalledalongawall,acrossacorner,oruseanexteriorchase.SeeFigure2forsuggestedlocations.  
Location should be out of high traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies.  
Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.  
Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other flammable liquids are stored.  
Vent pipe routing. See Venting section found in this manual for allowable venting configurations.  
Minimum clearances to combustibles, side-wall, ceiling, woodwork, and windows must be maintained. See Clearances

INSTALLATION PREPARATION  
LOCATING CHIMNEY  
Survey the planned location for the fireplace for overhead plumbing or electrical wires, etc. This could make installation  
harder. It could also be a hazard for persons installing or cleaning the chimney.  
Do not install where the chimney cap will be near abrupt changes in the roof shape, nearby wall or embankments, under  
or near trees or above the roof of a single story wing of a two story building. See Figure 4. Any of these conditions may  
cause turbulence or pressure condition which may create poor chimney draft and smoke spillage from the fireplace open-  
ing into the home.  
Use elbows to offset the chimney to avoid obstructions or to locate the chimney cap in a better location. See Chimney  
Offsets Section on pages 18 and 21 for instructions on proper elbow use. Poor installation or location of the chimney cap  
and/or components can cause wind blown rain to enter the chimney.  
The selected location must have a 15" square combustible material-free space for the chimney to pass through.  
If the chimney is to pass through living or storage spaces, there must be adequate space to enclose the chimney to avoid  
personal contact with, or damage to, the chimney.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION  
INSTALLING CHIMNEY SAFETY INFORMATION  
You must properly install the chimney to assure safe and satisfactory performance of the fireplace. This is an important part  
of the installation. Review the Chimney Installation Section thoroughly.  
For your safety, some of the important things to remember in regard to chimneys are  
listed below:  
• Use only parts and accessories labeled for use with this fireplace.  
• Use only undamaged parts and accessories.  
• Enclose the chimney where it passes through the living spaces to prevent contact with  
and possible damage to the chimney.  
• Install firestop spacers at each ceiling level.  
• Install the proper chimney cap or chimney housing on the chimney to prevent the entry  
of rain and debris into the chimney and to assure the proper venting of smoke.  
• Do not use more than four elbows in the chimney.  
Note: To select the proper chimney height, see Figures 12 through 16. The flue outlet must be a minimum  
of 3' above the highest point where the chimney penetrates the roof and a minimum of 2' above all portions  
of the building within ten feet. If the chimney is to include elbows to offset the chimney, see Chimney Offset  
and Cap Installation Section. There must be at least 2" air space between all sections of the chimney and  
combustible materials between floors.  
Do not extend the chimney more than 90" above the roof without additional support.

You will need to lay out, cut and frame openings through all ceilings  
and the roof at the point where the chimney will pass through.  
Actual  
Center Point  
Place fireplace in planned position for installation. Unless the chimney  
is to be offset, the point where the center line of the chimney will pass  
through the ceiling and roof can be determined with a plumb line. See  
Figure 16. Drive a nail in the center point.  
Plumb  
Line  
Note: Make sure the chimney location is well away from  
ceiling and roof joists and/or anything else that might  
be in the way.  
Drive a long nail through the roof from underneath to mark the roof  
opening center line. Make sure the nail is long en ought to go through  
the roof and be seen on the rooftop. If the chimney is to penetrate a  
pitched roof, the hole in the roof must be rectangular instead of square  
and should be sized according to Table 1.

INSTALLING FIRESTOP SPACER  
Install the firestop spacer from beneath the ceiling as shown in Figure 17 unless the space above is attic space.  
In an attic, install firestop spacer at the floor level of attic. You must have joists or headers on all four sides of the spacer.  
Use a minimum of four (4) 8-penny nails to secure the spacer. See Figure 18.

CHIIMNEY INSTALLATION  
INSTALLING “S” SERIES CHIMNEY SPACERS  
To install the “S” series chimney sections, insert the male end of the flue (the smallest diameter pipe) into the flue outlet of  
the fireplace. Press down until the snap locks engage. Continue to add chimney sections on top of each other until chimney  
is at least 6" above roof opening on all sides. See Figure 19.  
Note: As the chimney sections are installed, check each joint to make sure it is properly locked to the  
previous section.  
Make outer pipe stronger by using two or three sheet metal screws placed through the area where the outer pipes overlap one  
another. Carefully drill a 1/8" diameter hole through the chimney sections. Do not drill into inner stainless steel flue pipe.  
Be very careful when drilling the holes  
into the outer pipe. Do not drill into  
inner stainless steel flue pipe.

Note: For a total fireplace installation of more  
that 30' feet, you must use chimney  
support model SCS at or below 30'  
to support the weight of additional  
chimney pipe.

To install the chimney support, place the crimped end of  
the flue and outlet air duct portions into the last section

ELBOW INSTALLATION  
The following are important points that should be observed when installing elbows on the fireplace.  
1. Securely nail down to the surrounding structure support straps of all elbows not installed directly on top of the fireplace.  
This allows the support strap to carry the weight of the chimney above the elbow and prevents this weight from breaking  
the elbow or chimney sections apart.  
2. Do not use elbows in any combination that inclines the chimney more than 30° from vertical. See Figure 21.

4. Inclined portions of chimney is often used as storage.  
Enclose the inclined portions of chimney that pass through  
living spaces to avoid contact with and possible damage  
to chimney. Maintain minimum air space of 2" between  
chimney and enclosing. See Figures 22 and 23.  
5. The length of inclined portion of chimney between elbows must not exceed 6' if elbows are not supported.  
The length of inclined portion of chimney between elbows must not exceed 20' if elbows are supported every 6' with  
metal support straps.  
6. When enclosing the elbows and inclined portions of the chimney, enclosing materials must be installed vertically to  
maintain the required 2"minimum air space clearance to the chimney at the extremities of the offset. It is best that enclos-  
ing material not follow inclined portions of chimney.

5. Nail the support straps of the second elbow to a building frame member.  
6. Continue installing the vertical portion of the chimney. See Figures 22  
and 23.  
Note: If the inclined portion of the chimney passes through a floor or ceiling, an SF30 firestop spacer should  
be installed to provide the firestop and support required. Be sure proper spacing in maintained  
between the chimney and combustibles. See Figure 23.  
CHIMNEY CAP INSTALLATION  
MODEL SC CHIMNEY CAP  
Note: The proper chimney height is important to assure proper draft and safety.The chimney cap must  
extend the flue outlet 4" above the top of the last section of chimney. Keep this mind when  
determining the proper height for the chimney. The chimney should not be extended more than  
90" above the supporting roof structure without additional support. In the case of an “A” frame  
type construction or other steep pitch roofs that require more than 90" of chimney above the roof,  
attach a support to the chimney at the 90" level that is strong enough to support a wind load of  
31/8 pounds for each inch the chimney extends above 90". The flue outlet must be a minimum of 3'  
above the point where in penetrates the roof. See Figure 24.

1. Extend the regular chimney sections until the top of the chimney is 4"  
below the total flue height desired. Do not snap the last section of inlet  
air duct or largest diameter pipe in place until Step 3 is completed.

shingles.  
Note: SCL chimney cap is the same  
as SC chimney cap except that the  
SCL cap is a longer telescoping pipe  
used in special installations (i.e. chase  
installations)  
3. Set the flashing on the roof. Scribe a line around the flashing. Cut  
1/4" below the scribed line. This should increase the diameter of the  
flashing outlet enough to allow the flashing to be placed over the  
chimney. See Figure 25.  
4. Snap the last section of inlet air duct in place. Slide flashing over the  
chimney. Check for minimum clearances. Adjust chimney if neces-  
sary to make minimum clearances.

up, slide the end of collar under the two loops on the  
other end. Overlap the ends of the collar until it is tight  
against the chimney. Bend the free end of the collar back  
over the loops to hold the storm collar securely together.  
Trim off the excess ends of the storm collar.  
Use pliers and wear gloves when  
handling the storm color The edge of  
the storm color is sharp. If you are not  
careful, you could cut your hands.  
8. Slide storm collar down snugly against the flashing until  
the excess mastic left in step six is forced up into crack  
between the storm collar and chimney. This will make the  
joint between the flashing and the chimney watertight.  
See Figure 26.  
9. Place chimney cap into matching parts of the last chimney section. Push chimney cap down until the brackets on the  
bottom of the chimney cap sits on the chimney pipe. Punch or drill 1/8" diameter holes in the inlet air duct (chimney pipe)  
where specified on the brackets. Fasten chimney pipe down with the No. 8 screws provided. Note: Do not penetrate  
the inner stainless steel pipe while installing the screws.  
10. Check all the parts of the fireplace, chimney and chimney termination cap. Make sure none have been damaged or bent  
during installation. Check to see that all parts have been properly installed.  
Note: The metal used for chimney cap has a rust-protective coating but the cut edges of the parts are not  
protected. Detergent-wash and paint exposed parts of chimney cap with galvanized primer paint.  
This will prevent rusting and rust staining of nearby structures.

CHIIMNEY INSTALLATION  
CHIMNEY CAP CHASE INSTALLATION  
The preinstalled chimney sections must be no more than 10" below the top of the chase. Plan the installation so that either  
a 2' or 3' chimney section will be used for the top section. This is necessary to completely install inlet air telescope and  
chimney cap into the top section.

fireplace that is not in use. Additional spacing between  
caps or staggering the height of the caps will also  
help.  
1. Extend the chimney sections until the top of the chimney is not more than 10" below top of the chase.  
2. Center the hole in the chase cover over the chimney. Lance and form chase cover overhang over the chase. Secure chase  
cover overhang with nails. The chase cover overhang keeps water from seeping under the chase cover. If two or more  
chase cover overhangs are to be used on the same chase, solder the chase covers together to form watertight seams.  
3. Place the inlet air telescope inside the hole in the chase cover. Lower inlet air telescope down into the mating pipe of  
the chimney until flange on the telescope section rest on flange of the chase cover overhang.  
Note: All telescoping sections should extend a minimum of 3" inside the mating chimney pipes.  
4. Place SCL or SQL8 chimney cap into matching duct telescope and flue telescope of the last chimney section. See Figure  
27. Lower the cap until the brackets on the bottom of the chimney cap rests on the raised flange of the flat flashing.  
Punch or drill 1/8" diameter holes in the raised flange of the flat flashing. Fasten cap to the flashing with the No. 8 screws  
provided.  
5. Check all parts of the chimney and chimney cap. Make sure none have been damaged or bent during installation. Check  
to see that all parts have been installed properly.  
Note: The metal used for the chimney and chimney cap has a rust-protective coating but the cut edges of  
the parts are not protected. Detergent-wash and paint exposed parts of the chimney and chimney cap

OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS  
COMBUSTION AIR  
1. Locate combustion air assembly at an exterior location which is not likely to be accidentally blocked in any manner.  
Locate assembly above the snow line to prevent blockage by snow accumulation.  
2. Never mount the combustion air inlet assemblyin a garage or storage area where combustible fumes such as gasoline  
might be drawn into the fireplace.  
3. Combustion air can be drawn from the crawl space under a house when an adequate supply of air is provided by open  
ventilation.  
4. Do not take combustion air from attic space or garage space.  
5. Avoid extremely long runs and numerous turns in the duct leading from the fireplace to the combustion air assembly.  
These conditions increase the resistance to the free flow of air through the duct. See Figures 28 through 31 for methods  
of installing the outside air for combustion assemblies.

FIREPLACE OPERATION  
HOW TO BUILD A BETTER FIRE  
The first three fires should be of moderate size. This lets the  
fireplace adjust to the heat and the bricks to cure.  
Fireplace damper must  
be fully opened when  
using a gas appliance.  
See Gas  
Appliance  
Installation for  
more guidelines.  
First, make sure your room is well ventilated, your damper  
open and the flue is unobstructed. Then make sure your wood  
is dry and seasoned. Unseasoned wood burns poorly. If you  
use unseasoned wood with poor ventilation or an obstructed  
chimney, smoking could occur.  
ADVANTAGES OF A WOOD BURNING  
FIREPLACE  
If your fireplace is equipped with an outside combustion air  
assembly, open the combustion air inlet by pushing upward  
on the lever located above the firebrick on the left side of the  
firebox.  
These are practical and ecological advantages of using wood  
as a fuel. Also to be considered is the aesthetic appeal. Most  
of us consider a wood fire with nostalgia. We enjoy the aroma  
and find the flickering light of a cozy hearth reminding us of  
things past. Wood has a low ash content. The little ash that  
remains after burning is useful in home gardening as a fertil-  
izer and soil conditioner.  
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type  
lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter  
fluid, or similar liquids to start or  
“freshen up” a fire in this fireplace.  
Keep all such liquids well away from  
the fireplace while it is in use. Use  
of this fuel can cause a serious  
explosion.  
WHICH WOODS ARE BEST?  
Each wood species offers something different in aroma or  
heat value. You should consider your needs and desires before  
building your fire.  
Softwoods, like pine, spruce and fir are easy to ignite because  
they contain a lot of resin. However, a fire built entirely of  
softwoods burns out quickly. You also must add wood more  
often. While a softwood fire is not too desirable for a long  
evening, itʼs fine in the morning when you want quick warmth  
or late in the evening when you want a fire that will burn out  
before you go to bed.  
Prepare your fire by placing two logs on the iron grate or fire  
basket, and laying the tinder between them. Tinder may be  
dry scrap paper, twigs or bark. On top place a small hand-  
ful of twigs or split softwood kindling. Place more dry logs  
over this base. Keep logs close together, as narrow air spaces  
between them promote better drafts. Heat reflected between  
adjacent surfaces aids in raising and maintaining combustion  
temperatures.  
On occasion when a longer fire is desired, itʼs best to combine  
softwoods with the heavier hardwoods such as ash, beech,  
birch, maple, oak and hickory. Hardwood burns slower, with  
shorter flames, and produce steady, glowing coals.  
Youʼll need a minimum of three logs, preferably four, to  
make a good fire. Add kindling and new logs as needed to  
rekindle a dying fire. New logs should be added at the rear  
grate after raking the coals toward the front. Note: Do Not  
Overfire the Fireplace. Overfire conditions happen when  
you use large amounts of kindling, building scraps or other  
improper fuels.  
For the most pleasing aroma, burn the wood of fruit trees  
such as apple and cherry, or nut trees such as beech, hickory  
and pecan. This wood is generally more expensive, but a  
little combined with other wood goes a long way. Start your  
fire with a mixture of softwood and hardwood. Add some  
fruit or nut wood for nostalgic aroma. Since most woods  
will not burn well when freshly cut, the wood you purchase  
should be reasonably dry. Purchase logs that will fit when laid  
across your grate. Ask that the larger, heavier logs be split.  
Kindling should be short, easily split lengths of softwood,  
lumber yard or mill scraps, or twigs and branches gathered  
from your yard.  
Ashes are important because they form a bed of glowing  
coals. Let ashes build up to 1" to 2" on the bottom of the  
grate. Excess ashes can be used to check a flaming fire or to  
“bank” your fire. Cover the logs with ashes. A “banked” fire  
will hold glowing coals for 8-10 hours, thereby saving a fire  
for later use.

FIREPLACE OPERATION  
WOOD VS. FOSSIL FUELS  
A FEW WORDS OF CAUTION  
Compared to fossil fuels, a full cord of dry hickory weighs  
about two tons and is approximately equal in heating value  
to a ton of hard coal. On a per pound basis, heavy hardwoods  
have about half the heating value of coal. The table below  
shows the relative densities and heat values of a variety of  
dry woods. Varieties at the top of the list (Dogwood) burn  
longer and those near the bottom (White Pine) ignite and  
burn quicker. A combination of both light and heavy wood  
is desired.  
Do not burn plastics, poison ivy twigs and stems and chemi-  
cally treated woods such as discarded poles and railroad ties  
in your fireplace. These create air pollution and can cause  
extreme irritation for some people.  
Use hemlock, spruce, juniper and other resinous woods with  
caution. They contain moisture pockets which, upon heating,  
“pop” with considerable vigor.  
Always use a fire screen.Always “bank” a fire (or at least push  
all unburned fuel to the rear of the grate) before leaving a fire  
unattended. Do not use this fireplace as an incinerator.  
The termination of the chimney above the roof is exposed to  
wind, cold, and pressure changes. These and other environ-  
mental conditions may make it hard to get a sufficient chimney  
draft at times. At other times the draft may be sufficiently  
disrupted and cause smoke to spill from the fireplace opening.  
If problems with chimney draft occur, help start chimney draft  
before you build a fire by holding a piece of burning paper  
near the flue opening at the top of the firebox to preheat the  
chimney. If smoke spills from the fireplace opening after the  
fire is burning, open a window on the up wind side of the house  
that is far enough away form the fireplace that the wind will  
not blow across the fireplace opening. Push burning wood as  
near the back of the fireplace as possible. If your fireplace has  
glass doors, close them.

MAINTENANCE  
Have a a qualified and reputable chimney sweep clean the  
chimney or remove creosote or soot with brushes on wooden  
or fiberglass poles. Note: Do not use metal pipes,  
chains, wires, etc., to clean the chimney. They can  
scratch the surface of the stainless steel flue. This  
will shorten the life of the flue and provide a rough  
surface for soot particles to attach to.  
FUEL STORAGE  
Wood can be dried sufficiently for burning within a few weeks  
if protected form rain in a low humidity area. It is better to  
cut wood and allow it to dry for a year. In all cases, the wood  
should be stacked so that both ends of the sticks are exposed  
to the air and protected from rain. The drier the wood, the  
more usable heat produced by the fire and less likely rapid  
accumulation of soot and creosote within the chimney is to  
occur. See Chimney Maintenance for information on the  
hazards of soot and creosote accumulation. Small quantities  
of wood required for fire tending must be kept at least 30"  
from the fireplace.  
Be sure to cover nearby furnishing and arrange some method  
of catching soot and creosote particles that may fall during  
the chimney cleaning process. If glass doors are installed on  
the fireplace, they should be closed. Extra caution must be  
used to avoid damage to the flue damper during the cleaning  
process.  
DISPOSAL OF ASHES  
In addition to checking and cleaning the chimney on a regular  
basis, be sure to inspect the chimney before starting a fire at  
the beginning of each heating season. Make sure the chimney  
is clear from any accumulation of soot, creosote or any other  
debris. Make sure all joints are intact.  
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fit-  
ting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on  
a noncombustible floor or on the ground well away from all  
combustible materials until they are finally disposed of. If the  
ashes are buried or locally dispersed, they should be kept in  
the closed container until all cinder has thoroughly cooled.  
Ashes should never be placed in a container with combustible  
materials.  
Martin Hearth and Heating does not recommend chemical  
cleaners because some may contain elements that corrode the  
metal parts of the chimney or fireplace.  
FIREPLACE MAINTENANCE  
CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE  
At the end of each heating season or when the fireplace will not  
be in use for an extended time, the ashes should be removed  
and the hearth area should be swept clean. The slow absorption  
of moisture into the ashes over a long period of time could  
corrode metal fireplace parts.  
Creosote, Formation and Need for Removal  
hen wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic  
vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creo-  
sote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chim-  
ney 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.  
At the beginning of each heating season, always operate the  
flue damper and make sure it has not become stuck from soot,  
creosote, etc.  
Note: The chimney should be inspected at least twice  
a year during 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.  
Keep the lower and upper grille panels clean and free from  
dirt and lint accumulation at all times to get the maximum  
efficiency from your fireplace.  
As you use the fireplace, expansion and contraction will cause  
minor cracking of the hearth, back and side refractory mate-  
rials. This is normal and unavoidable. If the cracks become  
large enough or parts dislodge and metal behind the refrac-  
tory is exposed, the refractory panels should be replaced with  
new panels. Obtain these panels Martin Hearth and Heating  
fireplace dealer.  
The chimney cap can be removed for inspection, maintenance  
and cleaning by removing three screws from the support legs  
and lifting upward.  
When the fireplace is new, inspect the chimney often and clean  
the chimney any time creosote is seen on the flue walls. Once  
you see a pattern of how often creosote is accumulating, you  
can determine how often the chimney should be inspected.  
GLASS DOOR MAINTENANCE  
For glass door maintenance, see instructions provided with  
the glass doors.  
Also changes in the outside environmental conditions such as  
temperature and humidity or changes in the operation of the  
fireplace can lead to rapid buildup of soot and/or creosote.
