WARNING  
HOT SURFACES!  
Glass and other surfaces are hot during operation AND cool down.  
Hot glass will cause burns.  
DO NOT touch glass until it is cooled  
NEVER allow children to touch glass  
Keep children away  
CAREFULLY SUPERVISE children in same room as replace.  
Alert children and adults to hazards of high temperatures.  
High temperatures may ignite clothing or other ammable materials.  
Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other ammable materials away.  
If you expect that children may come into contact with this replace, we recommend a barrier such as a decorative  
screen. See your dealer for suggestions.  
A. Your Fireplace  
WARNING! DO NOT operate replace before reading and understanding operating instructions. Failure to operate replace  
according to operating instructions could cause re or injury.

B. Seasoned Wood  
D. Grate  
Properly seasoned wood is important for successful  
operation of your replace. Most woodburning replace  
problems are caused by burning wet, unseasoned wood.  
This replace is designed to be used with the grate sup-  
plied with this unit or one approved by HHT. The grate will  
break down over time and will need occasional replace-  
ment.  
Seasoned rewood is wood that is cut to size, split and air  
dried to a moisture content of around 20%.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use only the factory-supplied  
integral grate.  
Imagine a wooden bucket that weighs about eight  
pounds. Fill it with a gallon of water, put it in the replace  
and try to burn it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly  
what you are doing if you burn unseasoned wood.  
Keeps logs in place.  
Allows proper air circulation around the re.  
A tree cut down a year ago and not split is likely to have  
almost as high a moisture content now as it did when it  
was cut.  
E. Firescreen  
The rescreen is provided to control sparks. Keep it  
closed when the replace is in use.  
Please refer to Section 2.M. for more detail.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns!  
Screen will not prevent burning materials from falling  
out.  
C. Starting a Fire  
Screen pulls or handles may be hot.  
NOTICE: You must establish a good draft to prevent smoke  
spillage into the room.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Keep combustible materials,  
gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids clear of  
the replace.  
F. Flue Damper  
Refer to Figure 2.1 for location of control.  
Must be in fully open position (handle up toward the top  
of the replace) during operation of the replace.  
Before lighting the replace, verify fully open position by  
looking up from the inside of the replace.  
DO NOT:  
store ammable materials close to the replace  
use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter  
uid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a re in this  
replace.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire and Asphyxiation! Open  
damper prior to operating replace. A closed damper  
overres the replace and spills smoke and ames  
into the room.  
Keep all ammable liquids well away from the replace while  
it is in use. Combustible materials may ignite.  
The rst three or four res should be of moderate size to  
allow the oils and binders to be burned from the replace  
and the refractory and paint to cure. You may notice  
an industrial odor the rst few res. This is considered  
normal.  
G. Refractory  
The refractory is supplied to contain heat and provide  
an attractive interior.  
It will break down over time and will need occasional  
replacement. Small hairline cracks and discoloration are  
normal and do not affect its safety.  
Use well-seasoned wood.  
Open the ue damper to a fully open position.  
Place crumpled or twisted paper under the replace  
grate.  
(See refractory maintenance Section 3.C.)  
Loosely arrange kindling or small pieces of wood to form  
a ‘tent’ on the replace grate.  
Pre-warm the ue to establish a draft to help reduce  
smoke spillage during start-up. Hold a rolled up piece  
of burning newspaper under the ue damper for a few  
moments.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT burn replace with-  
out refractory. Use only refractory supplied by Hearth &  
Home Technologies, Inc.  
Light the crumpled paper to ignite the kindling.  
Add small pieces of wood until a hot bed of embers has  
been established.  
Add a minimum of three average size pieces of split  
rewood, placed to allow combustion air and ames  
between them.  
CAUTION! Odors and vapors released during initial  
operation may be irritating to sensitive individuals.  
Open windows for air circulation.

Seasoned Wood  
M.Wood Fuel  
Cut logs to size  
Split to 6 in. (152 mm) or less  
Air dry to a moisture content of around 20%  
Hardwood vs Softwood  
Your replace performance depends on the quality of the  
rewood you use.  
-
-
Soft wood - about nine months  
Hard wood - about eighteen months  
Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per pound  
.
Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.  
Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods.  
Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower  
and are harder to ignite.  
Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are  
easier to ignite.  
Start the re with soft wood to bring the replace up to  
operating temperature and to establish draft.  
Add hard wood for slow, even heat and longer burn  
time.  
NOTICE: Seasoning time may vary depending on drying  
conditions.  
Storing Wood  
Steps to ensure properly seasoned wood:  
Stack wood to allow air to circulate freely around and  
through woodpile.  
Elevate wood pile off ground to allow air circulation  
underneath.  
Smaller pieces of wood dry faster. Any piece over 6 in.  
(152 mm) in diameter should be split.  
Wood (whole or split) should be stacked so both ends  
of each peice are exposed to air. More drying occurs  
through the cut ends than the sides.  
Soft woods  
Hard woods  
Douglas Fir  
Pine  
• Oak  
• Maple  
• Apple  
• Birch  
Spruce  
Cedar  
Poplar  
Aspen  
Alder  
Store wood under cover to prevent water absorbtion  
from rain or snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends  
completely.  
WARNING! Fire Risk! DO NOT store wood:  
In front of the replace.  
In space required for loading or ash removal.  
Moisture  
WARNING! Risk of Fire!  
DO NOT burn wet or green wood.  
Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of  
creosote.  
Processed Solid Fuel Firelogs  
Manufactured relogs may be used with this replace.  
Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends the use of  
UL Classied processed fuel relogs. Follow the manufac-  
turer’s lighting and safety instructions.  
The majority of the problems replace owners experience  
are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.  
Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate  
the water instead of heating your home, and  
Evaporating moisture cools your chimney, accelerating  
formation of creosote.  
Using relogs may require more frequent chimney inspec-  
tion and cleaning.  
Do not poke or stir the logs while they are burning. Use  
only relogs that have been evaluated for the application  
in manufactured replaces and refer to relog warnings  
and caution markings on packaging prior to use.

B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning  
A. Disposal of Ashes  
Frequency: At least twice a year during heating season  
or as recommended by a certied chimney sweep  
By: Certied chimney sweep  
Frequency: When they reach bottom of grate  
By: Homeowner  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashes could contain hot em-  
bers.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ignited creosote is extremely  
HOT. Prevent creosote buildup.  
Place ashes in a metal container with a tight-tting lid.  
The closed container should be placed on a  
noncombustible oor or on the ground, well away from  
all combustible materials, pending nal disposal.  
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise  
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed  
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.  
Refer to Figure 3.1 to remove/reinstall termination caps.  
Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal  
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other  
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to  
form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the rela-  
tively cool chimney ue of a slow-burning re. As a result,  
creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When  
ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot re.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! A chimney re can permanently  
damage your chimney system and nearby structures.  
In the event of a chimney re, Hearth & Home Technolo-  
gies Inc. recommends  
replacement of the chimney, and  
inspection of the adjacent structure to the provisions of  
NFPA Level III inspection criteria.  
The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a year  
during the heating season to determine when a creosote  
buildup has occurred.  
When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to  
reduce the risk of a chimney re.  
Remove screws,  
lift top cover.  
1. Remove the 4 screws.  
2. Remove the screen.  
3. Remove the baffle.  
Remove 4 screws  
and lift top pan off.  
Remove 2 screws from

C. Check Firebox Refractory  
Frequency: After each ash removal  
By: Homeowner  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Inspect replace refractory.  
Crumbling, deteriorated refractory can allow overheating  
of surrounding materials.  
Expansion and contraction will cause minor cracking of  
the refractory. This is normal. The refractory will require  
periodic replacement depending on use.  
The panels should be replaced if  
Cracks exceed ¼ inch (6 mm) in width,  
Metal is exposed behind the refractory,  
Large pieces of refractory fall out.  
D. Inspect Grate  
Frequency: After each ash removal  
By: Homeowner  
Inspect grate for:  
Warping or sagging 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) or more  
Broken welds

Pre-warm ue before starting re (refer to starting  
re section).  
Check for adequate vent height (refer to chimney  
assembly section).  
Open window below the replace towards the  
wind.  
Wood condition is too wet, too  
large  
Use dry, seasoned wood (refer to wood fuel  
section).  
Bed of coals not established  
before adding wood  
Start with paper & kindling to establish bed of  
coals (refer to starting re section).  
Flue blockage such as birds’  
nests or leaves in termination  
cap  
Have chimney inspected for creosote and cleaned  
by a certied chimney sweep.  
Down draft or negative pressure Do not use exhaust fans during start-up (refer to  
Competition with exhaust  
devices  
negative pressure section).  
Open window below the replace towards the  
wind.  
Fire burns too fast  
Extremely dry or soft wood  
Mix in hardwood.  
Mix in less seasoned wood after re is established  
(refer to wood fuel section).  
No glass doors  
Overdrafting  
Add glass doors to slow down air ow.  
Check for correct vent height; too much vertical

B. Design and Installation Considerations  
D. Negative Pressure  
WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure  
can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Fire  
must draft properly for safe operation.  
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.  
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and  
national codes and regulations.  
Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re  
ofcials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,  
installation inspection and permits.  
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-  
able for the replace to operate properly. It can be stron-  
gest in lower levels of the house.  
Causes include:  
Before installing, determine the following:  
Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)  
Range hoods  
Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters  
and other combustion appliances  
Clothes dryers  
Where the replace is to be installed  
The vent system conguration to be used  
Gas supply piping  
Electrical wiring  
Framing and nishing details  
Location of return-air vents to furnace or air  
conditioning  
Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,  
wall switch or remote control—are desired  
Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system  
Upper level air leaks such as:  
- Recessed lighting  
NOTICE: Junction box should be installed during initial  
setup to avoid major reconstruction.  
- Attic hatch  
- Duct leaks  
C. Draft  
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:  
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent replaces  
successfully. When a replace is drafting successfully, all  
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the  
chimney.  
Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing  
winds during the heating season  
Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion  
appliances and exhaust equipment  
Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not  
located in the immediate vicinity of the replace  
Avoid installing the replace near doors, walkways or  
small isolated spaces  
Considerations for successful draft include:  
Preventing negative pressure  
Location of replace and chimney  
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no  
responsibility for the improper performance of the replace  
system caused by:  
Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design  
Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed  
Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams  
taped or sealed  
Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions  
Downdrafts  
Tight sealing construction of the structure  
Mechanical exhausting devices  
Improper location of the chimney  
Basement installations should be avoided  
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends  
the use of direct vent replaces in basements.

E. Locating Fireplace & Chimney  
Location of the replace and chimney will affect perfor-  
mance.  
Install within the warm airspace enclosed by the building  
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially  
during lighting and die-down of the re.  
Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes  
the effects of wind loading.  
Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent  
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.  
Minimize the use of chimney offsets.  
Consider the replace location relative to oor and ceiling  
and attic joists.  
Take into consideration the termination requirements in  
Section 8 and Section 9.  
NOTICE: Locating the replace in a basement or in a location  
of considerable air movement can cause intermittent smoke  
spillage from replace. Do not locate replace near  
frequently open doors  
central heat outlets or returns  
Recommended Location:  
• Above peak  
• Inside heated space  
Recommended Location:  
• Above peak  
Marginal Location:  
• Wind loading possible  
Marginal Location:  
• Below peak  
Location NOT recommended:  
• Not the highest point of the roof  
• Wind loading possible  
Location NOT recommended:  
Too close to tree  
• Below adjacent structure  
• Lower roof line  
• Avoid outside wall  
Recommended:  
• Insulated exterior chase  
in cooler climates

E. Install Outside Air Kit  
Keep duct runs short and straight to minimize restriction.  
A small dip is acceptable for a cold air trap.  
The outside air kit must be installed.  
Locate the outside air hood in a clear area, preferably  
into prevailing wind during the heating season. Refer to  
Figure 5.2.  
Install as shown in Figures 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5.  
The air duct may be run vertically.  
The outside air hood must be at least 3 ft (.91 m) below  
the top of the uppermost chimney section.  
AK14/AK18 Installation  
The hinge will be toward the front of the replace.  
Insert the narrow end of the handle into the upper slot.  
Pivot the handle in the slot toward the hinge.  
Remove the cover plate or knockout from the side of the  
replace and discard. Remove the semi-perforated piece  
of insulation covering the opening (insulated replaces  
only).  
Partly open the air kit door and insert the handle into the  
appropriate hole in the side column of the replace. The  
hinge on the door assembly should be located toward  
the front of the replace. If the hinge and the handle are  
not positioned in this manner, the door will not function  
correctly.  
CAUTION! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation! DO NOT  
draw outside combustion air from wall, oor or ceiling  
cavity, or enclosed spaces such as an attic or garage.  
DO NOT place outside air hood close to exhaust  
vents or chimneys. Fumes or odor could be drawn  
into the room through the replace.  
• Locate outside air inlet to prevent blockage from  
leaves, snow/ice, or other debris. Blockages could  
cause combustion air starvation.  
Attach the door assembly to the replace using the  
screws provided.  
Check operation by pulling the handle out to open and  
pushing it in to close.  
Mark and cut out a 4 1/2 in. (114 mm) hole in the building  
side for air entry. This hole should allow some framing

Determine the chimney components needed to complete  
your particular installation:  
A. Chimney Requirements  
Measure vertical distances from the base of the replace  
as shown in Figure 8.2.  
Measure the total vertical height of the fireplace  
installation from the base of the replace assembly to  
the approximate location of the bottom of the termination  
cap.  
Subtract the effective height of the replace assembly  
(see Figure 8.2) from the total vertical height to determine  
the overall height of the chimney installation.  
Create a schematic for your application similar to Figure  
8.2 showing components required (referring to Table  
8.1). Figure 8.1 identies those components and where  
used.

tion duct or system. These actions could cause over-  
heating/re in the chimney ue, or release of exhaust  
fumes into the living areas.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must maintain 2 in. (51

B. Using Offsets/Returns  
Use an offset/return to bypass overhead obstructions.  
An offset and return can be used as a single entity or separated by chimney section(s).  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT use offset/returns greater than 30°. Chimney draft will be restricted and could cause  
overheating and re.  
Measure the shift needed to avoid the overhead obstruction. Refer to dimension A in Figure 8.3.  
Find the appropriate A dimension listed in Table 8.2.  
The B dimension coinciding with the A dimension measurement in Table 8.2 represents the required vertical clearance  
needed to complete the offset/return.  
Read across the chart to nd the number of chimney sections/model numbers needed between the offset and return.  
Example:  
A
Your “A” dimension from Figure 8.3 is 14 1/2 in. (368  
mm). Using Table 8.2 the dimension closest to, but  
not less than 14 1/2 in. (368 mm) is 14 1/2 in. (368  
mm) using a 30° offset/return.  
B
You determine from the table that you need 34 1/8 in.  
(867 mm) (Dimension “B”) between the offset and  
return.  
The chimney component that best ts your applica-  
tion is one SL324.

C. Assemble Chimney Sections  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT install substitute or  
damaged chimney components.  
Use only those components described in this manual.  
Substitute or damaged chimney components could impair  
safe operation and cause overheating and re.  
Support the pipe during construction and check to be  
sure inadvertent loading has not dislodged the chimney  
section from the replace or at any chimney joint.  
Attach a straight chimney section or an offset to the top  
of the replace.  
Place inner ue to the inside of the chimney section below  
it. Place the outer casing outside the outer casing of the  
chimney section below it. Refer to Figure 8.4.  
Figure 8.4 Assembling Chimney Sections  
NOTICE: Chimney sections cannot be disassembled  
once locked together. Plan ahead!  
Lock chimney sections and/or offsets/returns together by  
pushing downward until the top section meets the stop  
bead on the lower section.  
Pull on the top section to make sure it is fully engaged  
and will not separate.  
You may use #6 or #8 sheet metal screws no longer than  
1/2 in. (13 mm) to fasten chimney sections together. Do  
NOT penetrate inner ue.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST use screws (pro-  
vided) to fasten offset/returns to chimney sections to  
keep the chimney parts from twisting. Failure to do so  
could cause re.  
Fasten offset/returns to chimney sections. Insert the  
screws (provided) through the predrilled holes. Do NOT  
penetrate inner ue.  
Secure chimney returns with hanger straps provided;  
fasten to studs or joists.  
Vertical straight runs of chimney must be supported every  
35 ft (10.7 m).  
D. Install Chimney Air Kit  
Required in Canada.  
Follow instructions provided with this accessory.

E. Install Ceiling Firestops  
ROOM ABOVE (non-insulated ceiling)  
CAUTION! Risk of Fire! Ceiling restops must be used  
whenever the chimney penetrates a ceiling/oor.  
B
A
Chase construction requires ceiling restops at each  
oor or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space.  
The ceiling restop slows spread of re and reduces cold  
air inltration.  
Ceilng firestop from  
bottom  
Install a ceiling restop whenever chimney penetrates  
ceiling/oor.  
Mark and cut an opening in ceiling as shown in  
Figure 8.5.  
Frame the opening with the same size lumber used in  
the ceiling joists.  
Nail the ceiling restop to the bottom of the ceiling joists  
when there is a room above.  
ATTIC ABOVE (insulated ceiling)  
Ceiling firestop from  
top  
Use an attic insulation shield if the ceiling is insulated.  
The ceiling restop may then be attached above or below  
the joists.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT seal area between  
restop opening and chimney pipe except where they  
enter the attic or leave the warm air envelope of the  
home (use 600° F sealant).  
Note: Use same dimensional lumber for framing  
ceiling firestop and joists.

Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with  
high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced berglass  
insulation. If the replace is being installed on a cement  
slab, we recommend that in cold climates, a sheet of  
plywood or other raised platform be placed underneath to  
prevent conducting cold up into the room.  
A. Construct the Chase  
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the  
replace and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that  
run on the outside of a building must be installed inside a  
chase.  
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build-  
ing. These instructions are not substitutes for the require-  
ments of local building codes. Local building codes MUST  
be checked.  
Three examples of chase applications are shown in Fig-  
ure 9.2.  
1. Chimney offset through exterior wall and  
enclosed in chase.  
2. Chase constructed on roof.  
A chase should be constructed in the manner of all  
outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting  
problems. The chase should not break the outside build-  
ing envelope in any manner. All outer walls need to be  
insulated.  
Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling restops  
at each oor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear  
space to control spread of re.  
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever oor at the rst  
level of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 9.1.  
Vapor and air inltration barriers should be installed in the  
chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Ad-  
ditionally, Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that  
the inside surfaces be sheet rocked and taped (or the use  
of an equivalent method) for maximum air tightness.
