PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION  
QUESTIONS TO ASK LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL  
A correct installation is critical and imperative for reduc-  
ing fire hazards and perilous conditions that can arise  
when wood burning appliances are improperly installed.  
The installer must follow all of the manufacturers’ instruc-  
tions.  
FLOOR PROTECTION  
This appliance requires a heat resistant non-combustible  
approved fireplace hearth or hearth extension. If a hearth  
extension is used it must be a 3/8" (minimum) noncom-  
bustible material or equivalent. If the floor protection is to  
be stone, tile, brick, etc., it must be mortared or grouted  
to form a continuous non-combustible.  
The installation of a wood burning appliance must con-  
form to local codes and applicable state and federal re-  
quirements. Familiarity with these requirements before  
installation is essential. Important considerations to dis-  
cuss with local building officials include:  
This protected area must extend a minimum of 18" to the  
front of the fuel door opening and 8" beyond both sides  
of the fuel door opening  
HEARTH PROTECTION  
1.  
Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical Code,  
State or Regional Codes.)  
Electrical codes: The blower system has a flexible  
electrical cord that must be electrically grounded  
per local codes or per electrical codes:

CHIMNEY INSPECTION  
The existing fireplace should be inspected by a local fire  
marshal or qualified installer for adequate serviceability  
prior to installing this appliance.  
2. Local amendments?  
3. Is a permit required - cost?  
(You may wish to contact your insurance company to  
ask if they require this).  
4. Rooms where the installation is not allowed?  
Factory built fireplace: If any portion of the chimney  
system shows signs of structural or mechanical weak-  
nesses, such as: cracks, leaky joints, corroded or  
warped surfaces. Look for obvious bulges in the lining,  
which may indicate the need to replace that section  
(use a bright flashlight. Any faulty portion must be re-  
paired or replaced prior to installing this appliance.  
Also, inspect the attic to see that the chimney has  
proper clearance to combustible framing members.  
SMOKE DETECTORS  
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in  
any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If  
possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent  
to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional false  
activation from the heat produced by the fireplace insert).  
If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed  
within the same room, you must follow the requirements  
of your local code. Check with your local building de-  
partment for requirements in your area.  
Masonry fireplace: The chimney should have no  
cracks, loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, or  
blockage. Any necessary repairs should be done by a  
qualified mason.  
If the existing fireplace flue system is dirty or has some  
obstruction in it, clean it. A dirty chimney can cause your  
insert to smoke when refueling, and can result in a chim-  
ney fire. An oversized chimney may result in less than  
optimum performance. Installations into a large masonry  
chimney may require a liner to improve performance.  
IMPORTANT – THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT APPROVED  
FOR INSTALLATION INTO A MANUFACTURED (MO-  
BILE) HOME.

CLEARANCES  
Raised Firebox  
WARNING: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU OB-  
SERVE THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES. DO NOT  
STORE FIREWOOD WITHIN THIS CLEARANCE  
SPACE. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CLEARANCES TO  
ALL COMBUSTIBLES MAY RESULT IN A HOUSE  
FIRE.  
There are listed clearances for your fireplace insert  
which were determined in a Laboratory testing and must  
be maintained.  
DRAFT REQUIREMENTS  
The appliance is merely one component of a larger sys-  
tem. The other equally important component is the vent-  
ing system. This is necessary for achieving the required  
flow of combustion air to the fire chamber and for safely  
removing unwanted combustion byproducts from the ap-  
pliance. If the venting system's design does not promote  
these ends, the system may not function properly. Poorly  
functioning venting systems may create performance  
problems as well as be a safety hazard (i.e. an oversized  
chimney may result in less than optimum performance.  
Installations into a large, masonry chimney may require a  
liner to improve performance). A draft test should read  
between .05” W.C. (inches water column) and .07" W.C.

American National Standards Institute ANSI/NFPA 211-92,  
draft 1-7: A chimney or vent shall be so designed and con-  
structed to develop a flow sufficient to completely remove all  
flue and vent gases to the outside atmosphere. The venting  
system shall satisfy the draft requirements of the connected  
appliance in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.  
PROVIDE ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION  
In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may be diffi-  
cult to establish a good draft up your chimney. The poor  
draft is caused by a shortage of air in the house. To pro-  
vide the needed air, crack a window on the windward  
side of the house.  
RAISED HEARTH  
Note: Using a heat defector on the surround, does not reduce  
clearances.  
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS  
THE FRESH AIR REQUIREMENTS OF THIS APPLI-  
ANCE MUST BE MET WITHIN THE SPACE WHERE IT  
WILL BE INSTALLED.  
Ventilation is essential when using a solid fuel burning  
heater. The combustion process of this heater uses oxy-  
gen from inside the dwelling and it may be necessary to  
open a window or install a vent to provide make-up air  
into a dwelling that is well insulated (modern construction  
standards have resulted in homes that are highly energy-  
efficient and that allow little heat loss and air transfer).  
Other appliances in the dwelling also contribute to re-  
moving air from the dwelling (i.e. clothes dryers, exhaust  
fans, fireplaces, and other fuel burning appliances). If the  
available fresh air delivery in the dwelling is insufficient to  
support the demands of these appliances, problems can  
result (i.e. excessive negative pressure can develop in  
the dwelling which will affect the rate at which this appli-  
ance can draft. See Draft Requirements on this page).

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION  
FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES  
Venting Requirements for masonry fireplace:  
This appliance is approved for installation into a listed  
factory built solid fuel burning fireplace. The fireplace  
firebox must accept the insert without modification other  
than removing bolted or screwed together pieces such  
as smoke shelf/deflectors, ash lips, screen or door  
tracks and damper assemblies, that must be reinstalled  
to restore the fireplace to its original operating condition  
if the insert is removed and not replaced. The removal  
of any part must not alter the integrity of the outer shell  
of the pre-engineered fireplace cabinet in any way.  
The fireplace damper must be secured in the open po-  
sition. As a minimum, a flue extension past the fireplace  
header is required. A preferred installation is a positive  
flue connection (sealing the throat of the chimney). This  
appliance requires the use of a 6” or 8” diameter flex or  
rigid single wall pipe, minimum 24/25 MSG black or  
blued steel connector pipe (stainless steel recom-  
mended). Offsets can be handled with an offset adapter  
(it aligns starter pipe with fireplace flue). For more in-  
formation on the offset adapters, see pages 8 and 24.  
Venting Requirements for factory built fireplace:  
The fireplace damper must be secured in the open po-  
sition. When installed into a Factory Built Fireplace this  
appliance requires the use of an 8” to 6” offset adapter.  
The offset adapter aligns the appliance flue outlet with  
fireplace flue and reduces flue outlet from 8” to 6” di-  
ameter (8 to 6” Offset Adapter, Cat. No. 14M79). If flue  
alignment is not necessary, a 8” to 6” bell reducer can  
be used in place of the offset adapter. The required  
vent is 6” diameter flex or rigid, UL1777 listed 2100° HT  
liner or equivalent. The liner must extend from the  
adapter at the flue outlet of the appliance to termination.  
Do not face seal over fireplace chimney cooling air sys-  
tems.  
FIREPLACE CHIMNEY MAXIMUM SIZE TO ENSURE  
PROPER DRAFT (Applicable to Masonry Fireplace  
installations only).  
The fireplace insert flue size is 8 inches in diameter,  
which is approximately 50 square inches, the minimum.  
The maximum flue size should be no more than (3)  
three times the cross sectional area of the size of the  
fireplace insert flue collar. In this case, that would be no  
larger than a 14 inch diameter stack (area = approx.  
154 sq. inches). To calculate area for a square or rec-  
tangular flue, see below.  
Note: Formulas for calculating Area:  
Calculating area of a circle:  
π x r2 = Area (π = 3.1416, r = 1/2 diameter)  
WARNING: Do not substitute the heat rated  
2100°HT liner with any other type line or a fire  
may result causing property damage, personal  
injury or loss of life.  
To calculate area of square or rectangle:  
Width x Depth = Area  
Notes:  
MASONRY FIREPLACES  
It may be necessary to use a full-length liner to  
achieve adequate draft for the appliance. A draft  
gauge should .05” W.C., to .07” W.C. for opti-  
mum performance.  
This appliance is approved for installation into a ma-  
sonry fireplace built to UBC Chapter 37 standards. Do  
not remove brick or mortar form the masonry fireplace  
to accommodate this appliance.  
This appliance is approved for all heatform style  
fireplaces (masonry fireplace with a metal fire-  
box liner).

INSTALLATION  
11. The floor of the fireplace is lower then the hearth,  
turn the adjusting bolt (located at the bottom of the  
groove in the rear of the insert firebox) clockwise  
until insert is level. An extension socket wrench  
will allow you to level the insert once it is com-  
pletely installed by reaching over the top.  
12. The skid plate (see following illustration) is pro-  
vided for ease in completing the installation, and  
allows the insert to slide easily into the fireplace.  
Simply slip the skid plate under the adjustment  
(leveling) bolt, slightly lift the front of the insert, and  
push into place sliding along the skid plate  
INSTALLATION STEPS  
1. Remove all ashes from the fireplace.  
2. Remove all materials inside the insert and set them  
aside.  
3. Remove the surround panel (face shield) and at-  
tach insulation material provided using a nonflam-  
mable adhesive (i.e. RTV High Temperature Sili-  
cone).  
4. Use a large piece of cardboard or other protective  
material and place it in front of the fireplace to pro-  
tect floor or carpet during installation.  
5. Remove the insert from its wood pallet by removing  
the screws.  
6. Prepare chimney connection system as specified  
for masonry or zero clearance fireplaces.  
7. Set the insert on the protective cardboard laid out in  
front of the fireplace centered in front of the fire-  
place opening.  
8. (Masonry Fireplace) Slide insert into the fireplace  
far enough to attach the starter pipe or positive flue  
connection (a minimum of a 8” diameter starter pipe  
extending past the header is required). See * Note  
on page 9.  
9. (Factory Built Fireplace) Slide insert into the fire-  
place far enough to attach connector to flue outlet.  
See * Note on page 9.  
10. Offsets can be handled using an offset adapter (it  
aligns starter pipe with flue. See Offset Adapter,  
page 24 for ordering information). Do not push in-  
sert in completely until surround assembly is in-  
stalled. Care should be used to ensure that this ad-  
justable connector is oriented so it does not angle  
downhill when positioned on the flue outlet on top of  
insert.  
13. Reaching over the top of the insert, install the  
starter pipe in the stove flue outlet, or attach the  
positive flue connection to the insert. See * Note on  
page 9.

INSTALLATION  
POSITIVE FLUE CONNECTION FOR MASONRY FIRE-  
PLACE  
A preferable installation is the positive flue connection (a posi-  
tive seal between the flue extension and the chimney). This  
can be achieved by using a filler plate. A filler plate can be  
made by making a cardboard pattern to fit the fireplace throat.  
Lay the pattern on 22 gage steel, add 2 inches to each side,  
and cut. Snip corners and bend front lip up and sides and  
back down. Cut an opening for the flue. Attach filler plate with  
masonry screws.  
A Professional should inspect chimney prior to installation to  
determine if any repairs are necessary or if a chimney reline  
is necessary.  
The fireplace damper must be secured in the open position. If  
this is not possible, it will be necessary to remove the damper.  
Installation into a masonry fireplace requires as a minimum of  
a flue extension past the header. This can be accomplished  
by one of the following methods:  
Install 6” or 8” smoke pipe if the chimney is located di-  
rectly above the insert flue  
The starter pipe extends through the filler plate, past the  
damper and into the chimney system. Small air leaks  
should be sealed with high temp fiberglass or ceramic  
insulation.  
FILLER  
PLATE  
(Or) Install 6” or 8” flex pipe to achieve the same result.  
Use an offset adapter (see page 24) to handle offsets. This  
part is available through your dealer.

PROCUCT FEATURES AND CONTROLS  
BLOWER SYSTEM  
AIR AND DAMPER CONTROLS  
The 500-CFM room air circulation blower system comes  
equipped with a variable speed control (rheostat). The  
blower system can be operated manually or set to oper-  
ate automatically (so the blowers will turn on when the  
insert is hot and turn off when the insert is cool). See  
Care and Operation Section – Blower System on page  
14.  
CATALYTIC BYPASS DAMPER CONTROL  
The bypass damper control handle is located on the front  
of the insert (see above illustration). By pushing in or  
pulling out the handle, the operator can route the ex-  
haust either through the catalytic combustor (pushed in)  
or directly up the flue (pulled out). When starting a fire or  
refueling, the handle must be pulled out. Once the fire is  
established it must be pushed in.  
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL  
The primary combustion air delivery is controlled by the  
primary air control draft module (The control handle is  
located above the fuel door). The heat output can be  
controlled by sliding the handle to a higher or lower heat  
output setting (see following illustrations). The fuel, the  
amount of heat and burn times desired, the type of instal-  
lation are all variables that will affect the control setting.  
The same control settings in a variety of installations will  
produce different results. You will need to try different  
settings so you can learn how much heat to expect and  
CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR  
How it works: From 5 to 30 percent of the chemical en-  
ergy contained in every log escapes up the chimney  
when wood is burned in a conventional stove. The cata-  
lytic combustor is designed to make use of this energy,  
converting it into useful heat as it lessens chimney creo-  
sote build-up and air pollution. The catalytic combustor  
consists of a durable temperature resistant ceramic com-  
position, which is extruded into a cellular, or honeycomb,  
configuration. After extrusion, this ceramic monolith is  
fired and then covered with a noble-metal catalyst. When  
wood smoke contacts this catalyst, chemical changes  
occur that causes the smoke to ignite at temperatures  
around 600° F. Normally, smoke will ignite and burn only  
at temperatures around 1000° F.

CARE AND OPERATION  
This unit is designed to provide a flow of air over the in-  
side of the glass, where along with high heat helps keep  
it clean. When operating the fireplace insert on low for

CAUTION: When opening the door, do not extend it  
beyond its normal travel. Overextending the door to  
a further open position can put excessive stress on  
hinge area of door and hinge pins and may result in  
breakage.  
extended periods of time, the glass may get dirty.  
A
short, hot fire (15 - 20 minutes) will help clean off much  
of the normal buildup (see Troubleshooting). A commer-  
cial glass cleaner designed for fireplace inserts is rec-  
ommended for cleaning.  
The glass should be cleaned thoroughly with glass  
cleaner and a soft cloth BEFORE the fireplace insert  
is burned.  
DOOR GASKET  
The door gasket must be kept in good condition. Do not  
leave the stove burning with the door ajar or open. Leav-  
ing the door ajar or open while the stove is burning will  
cause excessive heat build up in the stove (overfiring)  
and could ignite surrounding combustibles as well as  
damage the stove (such damage is not covered by the  
manufacturers warranty).  
USE CONTROL SETTINGS THAT WORK FOR YOU  
The fuel, the amount of heat you want, the type of instal-  
lation you have and how long you wish the fire to burn  
are all variables that will affect the control setting. The  
same control settings in a variety of installations will pro-  
duce different results.  
DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY  
The door handle assembly opens and securely latches  
the fuel door closed. To open the door, rotate the coil  
handle to the 9:00 position until door releases. To close  
and latch, hold the coil handle in the 9:00 position, close  
the door, then rotate the handle to the 6:00 position. See  
illustration above.  
Familiarize yourself with your fireplace insert by trying  
different settings so you can learn how much heat to ex-  
pect and how long the fire will burn. It may take a week  
or two to learn but your patience will be rewarded by the  
warmth and pleasant satisfaction that only a wood fire  
can provide.  
GLASS  
The Glass is a super heat resistant ceramic that with-  
stands continuous temperatures up to 1390° F. This tem-  
perature is well beyond the temperatures in which you  
operate your fireplace insert.

CARE AND OPERATION  
BREAK-IN PERIOD  
Your fireplace insert finish is a high temperature paint  
that requires time and temperature to completely cure.  
We recommend that you ventilate the house during the  
initial burns. The paint emits non-toxic odors during this  
process.  
When refueling a hot stove with the catalyst still operating,  
no refiring step is necessary. Just open the bypass, set the  
primary air control to high, open the door approximately  
1/2 inch, and wait for about thirty seconds. Load the fuel,  
close the door, close the bypass and set the primary air  
control to normal operation. Temperatures within the fire-  
box should be hot enough to maintain the catalytic opera-  
tion.  
KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED DURING  
THE CURING PROCESS TO PREVENT ACTIVATION  
OF YOUR HOME SMOKE DETECTOR.  
HOW TO START AND MAINTAIN A FIRE  
1. (If optional ash drawer is installed) Check to ensure  
the ash dump cover (in center of firebox floor) is in  
place and the ash drawer is closed.  
2. Open the bypass damper control by pulling it toward  
you. In the "OPEN" position the draft air will bypass  
the catalytic combustor and make starting the fire eas-  
ier.  
The paint manufacturer recommends three burn cycles  
to cure the paint. The first two burns should be low heat,  
approximately 250°F., for 20 minutes each, using paper  
and light kindling.  
After each 20-minute burn, allow the appliance to cool  
completely. The third burn should be at least medium  
high or about 450°F. for 45 - 60 minutes. The paint will  
become soft and emit non-toxic haze during these burns.  
Keep the area well ventilated.  
3. Set the primary air control lever on "HIGH". The  
"HIGH" setting will maximize your primary combustion  
air.  
4. Build a fire directly on the firebrick covering the bottom  
of the stove.  
As the paint cures it will become slightly lighter in color.  
Eventually the entire surface will become an even color.  
Once the paint has been softened and cooled two or  
three times, it will harden. Do not turn on a blower during  
the curing process. Do not place anything on the fire-  
place insert surface until the paint is completely cured.  
Do not attempt to repaint the fireplace insert until the  
paint is completely cured. If the surface later becomes  
stained or marred, it may be lightly sanded and touched  
up with spray paint from the same paint manufacturer  
(See Maintenance – Repainting a Stove). Paint is avail-  
able at your local authorized Lennox Hearth Products  
dealer. Never attempt to paint a hot stove.  
a. Place five or six loosely crumpled sheets of news-  
paper in the stove.  
b. Add a small amount of dry kindling randomly on  
the top of the newspaper.  
c. Place a few more loosely crumpled newspapers  
on top of the kindling and light the bottom paper  
first, then light the top paper.  
5. Once the kindling is ignited and burning on its own,  
close the fuel door. The upper fire should help preheat  
the chimney and create an effective draft while the  
lower fire ignites the kindling.  
6. When the kindling is burning well, add increasingly  
larger pieces of wood until the fire is actively burning.  
7. When the fire is well established, use the damper  
hook and close the bypass by pushing the control rod  
in (catalytic temperature probe should read 500-  
600°F, takes approximately 20 - 25 minutes to reach  
this temperature).  
CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR  
During the start-up of a cold stove, a medium to high firing  
rate must be maintained for about 20 minutes. The high  
firing rate will ensure that the stove, the flue, the catalyst,  
and the fuel are all stabilized at proper operating tempera-  
tures. Even though it's possible to have temperatures in  
the stove reach 600°F. within two or three minutes after  
the fire is started, do not set the primary air control lever to  
the "LOW" position until approximately twenty minutes  
have passed. Setting the primary air control on "LOW" too  
early could result in either the fire or the catalytic combus-  
tor going out.  
8. When the fire is well-established slide the air control  
lever for the desired heat output.  
REFUELING  
To refuel the stove, open the bypass and move the pri-  
mary air control to "HIGH". Let the fire "LIVEN UP" for  
about one minute. Open the fuel door about 1/2" and hold  
in this position about 30 seconds or until the stove is draft-  
ing well. Open the door and add wood. After refueling, re-  
set the primary draft control to the desired position, and  
close the bypass when the catalytic temperature probe  
reaches operating temperatures.  
At the end of a burn cycle, it's possible that the hot embers  
remaining might not provide sufficient fuel value for the  
catalyst to retain its minimum operating temperature of  
600°F. During the refueling, we recommend that the stove  
be refired for about 10 minutes with the bypass open to  
ensure a good draw is established and that the catalyst  
reaches 600° F. The refiring will ensure sufficient tempera-  
tures and proper amounts of volatiles for the catalyst to  
operate properly.

CARE AND OPERATION  
BLOWER SYSTEM  
The Blower System consists of a ON/OFF rocker switch,  
a variable speed blower speed control switch (rheostat),  
a thermally activated switch (fan disc) and 4 axial blow-  
ers.  
WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a blower  
system which has a flexible electrical power cord  
with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protec-  
tion against shock hazard and should be plugged  
directly into a properly grounded three-prong recep-  
tacle per local codes or NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest  
edition. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong  
from the power cord plug.  
When starting a fire, leave the blower system off until the  
insert is thoroughly heated (approx. 30 minutes after start  
up).  
The blowers can be operated in one of the following  
manners:  
BLOWER SPECIFICATIONS: 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 4 axial  
blowers - .42 amps each, 125 CFM each (500 CFM to-  
tal). Blower system has a flexible electrical cord that  
must be electrically grounded per local codes or NEC,  
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition. Do not route the power  
cord under or in front of the appliance.  
AUTO: Turn Rocker Switch to the OFF "o" position and  
the rheostat to the ON position (rotate rheostat dial clock-  
wise until it clicks). When the insert warms up (110° F),  
the blower will automatically turn on (adjust rheostat dial  
to the desired speed setting). When the insert cools down  
(90° F), the blowers will automatically turn off.  
MANUAL: Turn Rocker Switch to the ON "-" position  
and adjust rheostat dial to the desired speed. The  
Blower will have to be manually turned off by rotating  
the rheostat dial counterclockwise until it clicks.  
CAUTION: Burning the insert at a high burn rate for  
extended periods without running the blowers can  
cause excessive temperatures resulting in overfir-  
ing damage to the appliance. Overfiring damage is  
not covered under the 5 year prorated warranty.

MAINTENANCE  
BURN RECOMMENDED FUEL  
Wood that is kept outdoors, either covered with a tarp, or  
not covered at all, will not burn well until it has been in an  
enclose space for one to two months.  
This appliance is approved for use with natural dry wood  
only. Burning materials other than natural wood will shorten  
the life of the catalytic combustor. Do not burn particleboard  
or pressed logs using bonding agents as they can produce  
conditions which will deteriorate metal or damage the cata-  
lyst. Green or uncured wood does not work well as fuel,  
and can cause increased creosote buildups and plugging  
of the catalytic combustor. The value of green wood as a  
source of heat is limited. Do not overload or use kindling  
wood or mill ends for primary fuel as this may cause overfir-  
ing. Overfiring is a condition where excessive temperatures  
are reached, beyond the design capabilities of the fireplace  
insert. The damage that occurs from overfiring is not cov-  
ered under the fireplace insert warranty.  
SMALL AREA PAINT TOUCH-UP  
The stove body is painted with a quality high-  
temperature stove paint. Use only model TSPK-B Stove  
Paint, Catalog # 70K99. Do not touch-up your stove with  
any other paint.  
Using one small piece of 320 grit sand paper and lightly  
sand the blemish so that the edges are “feathered” or  
smooth to the touch between the painted and bare sur-  
faces. Do not let the sand paper gum up with paint, as  
this will cause scratches on the metal surface. If there  
are any scratches, use 600 grit sandpaper instead. Mask  
off surfaces you do not want painted. Paint lightly over  
the bare surface first as this will act as an undercoat.  
Then paint over a larger area in smooth even strokes to  
blend.  
WHY SEASON WOOD?  
The key to the success of a good fire that produces heat  
from a wood burning insert is the wood. It needs to be well-  
seasoned natural wood.  
What does “Well-Seasoned” mean?  
See Break-In Period on page 13 for information on  
curing the paint.  
When a tree is cut down, the wood is green, full of sap and  
moisture. This moisture content can exceed 80%, which  
must be reduced to less than 20%. Wood properly sea-  
soned is then capable of generating the heat the fireplace  
insert was designed to provide.  
FIREBRICK  
The firebrick should be inspected periodically and re-  
placed if damaged (crumbling or excessively cracked).  
ASH REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL  
Green wood does not burn easily. Attempting to burn green  
wood often results in a lot of smoke and very little fire. Time  
is the most important factor in seasoning wood. Ideally the  
moisture content should be reduced to 11-20%, although  
very few of us will be able to check that figure. There are  
several steps that should be taken to ensure that that you  
come close to these figures.  
CAUTION: Make sure that the fire is out and the  
stove is cold before removing ashes! (If optional ash  
drawer is installed) Never burn your stove with the  
ash dump cover off!  
Ashes can hold live embers for several days, and must  
be disposed of with care.  
SEASONING GUIDE  
Softwoods – 6 months to 18 months  
Hardwoods – 12 months to 24 months  
(If the optional ash drawer is installed) Scrape ashes  
from the firebox through ash dump opening into ash  
drawer. After emptying, clean and replace the ash  
drawer.  
Logs that are 5” diameter across or larger should be split in  
half, three pieces if over 8 inches, and four pieces when  
over a foot across. If the tree was fell 2 to 4 years ago, it  
still needs to be cut, split, and seasoned for 6 to 24 months  
depending on the wood.  
NEVER place ashes in a cardboard box or any other  
combustible receptacle.  
Proper Disposal of Ashes:  
WOOD STORAGE  
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight  
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be  
placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well  
away from all combustible materials, pending final dis-  
posal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or  
other wise locally dispersed, they should be retained in  
the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly  
cooled.  
Wood to be seasoned should be stacked in an area open  
enough to ensure good air circulation on both sides – leav-  
ing adequate space between woodpiles to walk comfort-  
able. Do not stack wood against a wall or building. It helps  
to elevate the woodpiles off the ground (two 2 x 4’s running  
lengthwise beneath the woodpile works well). This allows  
air to flow under the bottom logs.

MAINTENANCE  
DOOR / GLASS GASKET AND ASH DUMP GASKET  
A 3/4" spun fiberglass gasket provides the seal around  
the fuel door and a flat spun fiberglass rope gasket (1/8”  
x 1”) provides the seal around the glass. If the optional  
ash drawer is installed, a cerawool pad (4 1/4” x 8 3/8” x  
1/2”) provides the seal for the ash dump cover. Should  
these gaskets become frayed or damaged, they should  
be replaced with the same size and type as the original  
gasket. Contact your dealer for ordering. Use high tem-  
perature silicone sealer as an adhesive for replacing  
door and ash dump gaskets. The glass gasket has a  
self-adhesive backing.  
fore installations using this type of flue are more suscep-  
tible to creosote deposits.  
To inhibit the build up of creosote, adjust the primary air  
control to a medium-high or high setting for a 10-minute  
period each day. Do not attempt to burn out heavy creo-  
sote accumulations in this manner. This must be re-  
moved from the chimney by scraping or brushing to re-  
duce the risk of a chimney fire.  
Burn Approved Fuel Only - This stove is approved for  
burning dry seasoned natural wood only. Using green or  
inadequately seasoned wood may increase creosote  
buildup.  
WARNING: The gaskets must be kept in good condi-  
tion. Do not leave the stove burning with the fuel  
door open or ash dump cover off. This will cause  
excessive heat build up in the unit and could ignite  
surrounding combustibles as well as damage the  
stove by overfiring it. Overfiring is a condition where  
excessive temperatures are reached, beyond the de-  
sign capabilities of the stove (such damage is not  
covered by the manufacturer's warranty).  
Inspection Frequency - The chimney connector and  
chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly dur-  
ing the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup  
has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be  
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.  
Cleaning - Remove the catalytic combustor and open  
the bypass damper prior to having your chimney cleaned  
(should be done by a qualified chimney sweep). See  
Maintenance, Catalytic Combustor, on page 17 for in-  
structions on removing catalytic combustor.  
SERVICING GLASS  
IMPORTANT: Make sure the bypass damper is in the  
open position prior to chimney cleaning.  
CAUTION: Be careful not to abuse door assembly by  
striking or slamming it. If the door assembly or glass is  
broken or damaged, they must be replaced before heater  
can be safely operated. Use only components provided  
by the manufacturer as replacement parts. Cleaning  
Glass: Ensure stove is cold prior to cleaning glass. A  
commercial glass cleaner designed for stoves is recom-  
mended. Do not use abrasive cleaners.  
In the event of a chimney fire - Make sure the fuel door  
is securely closed. Adjust the primary air control to the  
lowest (most closed) setting. Call the fire department  
immediately. After a chimney fire, the complete chimney  
system should be checked by a qualified technician be-  
fore further use.  
Replacing Glass:  
Consult your dealer for suggestions on proper chimney  
care. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire au-  
thority for information on how to handle a chimney fire.  
Have a clearly understood plan for handling a chimney  
fire.  
1. Remove door from stove by lifting door up and off  
hinge pins: Place the door on a flat protected (towel)  
clean flat surface with the inside of the door facing up.  
Remove the glass clips (by removing screws holding  
clips), then carefully remove broken glass one piece  
at a time (protective gloves are recommended).  
2. Clean area where the glass with gasket will be in-  
stalled.  
3. Install new glass with gasket (use only factory 5-mm  
glass with glass channel gasket. Do not substitute).  
Carefully reinstall glass clips. Be very careful not to  
overtighten screws.  
CATALYST REPLACEMENT  
The normal expected life of a catalytic combustor is  
10,000 to 12,000 hours (if appliance is operated correctly  
and proper fuels are used). If the catalyst has been de-  
activated, it should be replaced. Symptoms of deactiva-  
tion include – noticeably darker smoke exiting chimney  
and less heat output. If these symptoms remain after  
normal maintenance or a major cleaning (soak in heated  
vinegar / water solution, see page 17), the catalyst  
probably needs replacement. Also, if the catalyst is bro-  
ken and/or missing large pieces, it should be replaced.  
4. Reinstall door.  
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL  
What is Creosote - When wood is burned slowly, it pro-  
duces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with  
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors  
condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-  
burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates  
on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an  
extremely hot fire. Also, creosote deposits tend to form in  
long runs of venting where gases become too cool prior  
to exhausting. Note: Single wall pipe cools rapidly, there-  
Note: The catalyst does not need to be glowing to be  
working. It will glow at times, but it can work very effec-  
tively at temperatures well below the 1000° F level at  
which it will begin to glow.

MAINTENANCE  
CLEANING BLOWERS  
REMOVING COMBUSTOR CLIP  
The blowers require inspection and cleaning annually to  
remove lint, dust, etc. If there are pets in the dwelling,  
the blowers should be cleaned at least twice a year To  
access, remove blower covers (remove the two ¼” hex  
head screws on each panel), then inspect propellers  
(replace if cracked or broken) and vacuum out lint, dust,  
and debris.  
CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR  
This appliance has been designed with a catalytic com-  
bustor, which will improve its overall performance. Re-  
moving the combustor assembly for cleaning and rein-  
stallation is simple and convenient. Cleaning the com-  
bustor helps reduce buildup of ash and retarding chemi-  
cals. To clean the combustor, a soft brush, vacuum  
cleaner, or pipe cleaner may be used.  
Cleaning the combustor once a year, preferably when  
your flue system is serviced, is sufficient for most users.  
Reinstall the combustor according to the following in-  
structions.  
The catalytic activity and effectiveness of a two to three  
year old combustor can be improved by following this  
Major Cleaning Procedure - Soak the combustor in a  
hot cleaning solution of a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar  
and distilled water for 30 minutes. Then rinse by soak-  
ing in hot distilled water. After 15 minutes, remove the  
combustor from the rinse water and gently shake out  
excess water. It is unlikely that you will notice a visible  
difference in the combustor after this cleaning proce-  
dure. The combustor unit is fragile in comparison to the  
rest of the stove, so handle with care.  
1. Place the combustor on the tunnel baffle as shown  
in illustration (ceramic honeycomb to the back and  
louvered slots to the front). Push it back into the tun-  
nel baffle until it hits the positioning stops. Make  
sure it is sitting flat against the bottom and the sides  
so that it does not tilt forward and jump the position-  
ing stops.  
2. Position combustor clip over the middle of the sec-  
ondary air tube as illustrated. Make sure that one of  
the holes in the secondary air tube is centered in the  
1/2" hole on the clip. You can feel with your fingertip.  
3. Tighten screw snugly, but do not over-tighten or you  
may spread the clip apart.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
* SMOKES OUT FUEL DOOR WHEN OPEN  
1. The primary air control is closed.  
2. The chimney is too cool. Set the primary air con-  
trol on "HIGH" with the bypass damper control  
"OPEN" for a few minutes before opening the fuel  
door.  
3. Excess creosote will not only restrict your draft  
but it will create a risk of a creosote fire. Strictly  
adhere to maintenance requirements as outlined  
in this manual. If excess creosote has built up on  
the inside of the firebox sides and door, burn a  
small hot fire at intervals that are more frequent  
with air control on HIGH for a few minutes.  
4. Deposits may have built up in the chimney and  
are restricting the draft, or the spark arrester on  
top of the chimney may be plugged.  
* DOES NOT MAINTAIN A FIRE  
1. Soft wood does not burn as long or as well as seasoned  
hardwood resulting in a short burn time.  
2. Wood size too small. Burns at too rapid a rate.  
3. The gasket seal on the fuel door, ash dump cover or  
glass is leaking air. Repair or replace it if necessary.  
4. There is an obstruction in the chimney.  
5. The stove was not up to normal operating temperature  
before the bypass damper control was pushed closed.  
6. Excessive draft.  
* BACKPUFFING  
1. Downdraft in the chimney (may need a special wind  
cap).  
2. The catalytic combustor is too hot (avoid burning  
soft, pitchy woods, or large amounts of small-  
diameter wood).  
5. Chimney diameter too large or too small to pro-  
vide adequate draft.  
3
The house is too air tight (ventilation is needed).  
6. The house is too airtight (usually takes 20 to 30  
minutes for problem to appear as stove lowers air  
pressure in house). Crack a window open or pro-  
vide an outside source of air near stove.  
7. Insufficient vertical height to chimney to achieve  
adequate draft.  
4. Insufficient vertical height to chimney to achieve  
adequate draft.  
ODORS  
1. Creosote accumulation in firebox (brush out on next  
cleaning).  
8. The combustor is plugged from engaging too  
soon (remove combustor and clean, see Mainte-  
nance section).  
2. Chimney downdraft when stove is not operating  
(close primary air control).  
3. Catalytic combustor not functioning.  
4. Paint curing on first several burns.  
* DOES NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH HEAT  
1. Using green or insufficiently cured wood.  
2. Excessive draft.  
* DIRTY GLASS  
1. Poor draft conditions.  
3. High ceilings (heat rises quickly, but can be recir-  
culated by a well-placed ceiling fan with a win-  
ter/summer switch).  
2. Long burn periods at low draft settings.  
3. Burning wet, pitchy or spongy wood.  
4. Poorly arranged logs (too close to glass).  
4. The area to heat, is too large (square foot heating  
estimates are based on "average" climates and  
home design.)  
5. There's an obstruction in the chimney.  
6. The chimney or chimney cap is restricted by  
creosote preventing enough draw to sustain a  
"HIGH" heat rate.  
* Draft problems; If installing into a larger flue, it  
may be necessary to use a full length liner to  
achieve adequate draft for the appliance. A draft  
gauge should read a minimum of .05" W.C.  
(inches water column) not to exceed .07" W.C.  
for optimum performance (see Draft Require-  
ments).  
7. Combustor light off has not occurred.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
OVERFIRING  
Overfiring Caused From Improper Operation  
Never burn the appliance with the fuel door open or  
ajar, the ash dump cover off or the ash drawer open (if  
optional ash drawer is installed). Never burn the stove  
with the bypass handle in the open position once the  
fire has been established or the air control in the "high"  
position for extended periods.  
If any part of the appliance glows, it is overfiring.  
Other symptoms may include: Cracking, warping or  
burning out of components, catalytic combustor may  
deteriorate, gold doors may turn color, stove glass  
may develop a haze which will not come off with  
cleaning, firebox baffle plate (tunnel baffle) may  
warp, etc.  
Overfiring Caused From Improper Maintenance  
Strictly adhere to all maintenance requirements at fre-  
quent intervals as prescribed in this manual including  
cleaning of flue and fireplace insert. Should the fuel  
door, ash dump (if optional ash drawer is installed) or  
glass gaskets become worn or damaged, they should  
be replaced.  
Overfiring of a fireplace insert is a condition where  
excessive temperatures are reached, beyond the  
design capabilities of the appliance (as outlined the  
following 4 paragraphs). The damage that occurs  
from overfiring is not covered under the manufactur-  
ers limited warranty. The following are a few condi-  
tions that should be evaluated and (corrected if nec-  
essary) if an overfiring condition is suspected:  
Overfiring Caused From Improper Fuel  
This appliance is approved for use with natural dry well  
seasoned wood only (consult your dealer for approved  
fuels in your area). Do not burn garbage, particleboard  
scraps, or pressed logs using bonding agents because  
they can produce conditions that will deteriorate metal.  
Green or uncured wood does not work well as fuel, and  
can cause increased creosote buildups. Do not over-  
load or use kindling wood or mill ends as primary fuel.  
Overfiring Caused From Improper Installation  
The venting system must satisfy the draft Re-  
quirements of the appliance. The appliance is  
merely one component of a larger system. The  
other equally important component is the venting  
system, which is necessary for achieving the re-  
quired flow of combustion air to the fire chamber  
and for safely removing unwanted combustion  
byproducts from the appliance. If the venting sys-  
tem’s design does not promote these ends, the  
system may not function properly, which may  
create performance problems as well as may be  
a safety hazard. To ensure that all installation re-  
quirements have been met as outlined in the in-  
stallation manual. The chimney should be clean  
and in good repair. A draft test should be per-  
formed to determine if the draft requirements of  
the appliance are being met. A draft gauge  
should read between .05 and .07 inches water  
column (W.C.I.). Excessive draft (above .07  
W.C.I.) will allow too much combustion air to be  
pulled into the firebox, which results in hotter  
burns. Too little draft (below .05 W.C.I.) will not  
allow enough combustion air delivery to maintain  
a fire well or cause performance problems such  
as smoking (this may result in improper operation  
of appliance, i.e. will not maintain fire well unless  
catalytic bypass is left open, or with fuel door left  
open – see Overfiring Caused From Improper  
Operation).
