T4200 FIREPLACE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
DESIGN AND INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS  
When selecting a location for your woodburning fireplace, it is important to evaluate a number of considerations. Modern  
construction techniques can create conditions that may not allow your chimney to draft properly. This may result in  
smoke spillage from your fireplace, as well as cause other combustion appliances to operate incorrectly.  
Tightly sealed construction is important for energy efficiency. Unfortunately, a great deal of effort has been directed to  
tightening up sidewall construction, while considerably less attention has been paid to tightening upper portions of the  
warm air envelope (insulated ceilings). This has increased the “Stack Effect”, a condition that increases the negative  
pressure generated by the structure. This negative pressure will directly affect the drafting performance of a fireplace  
chimney. To minimize the negative pressure generated by stack effect, make certain that all ductwork installed in the attic  
spaces is sealed airtight. Minimize the number of recessed light fixtures installed in the insulated ceiling, and use  
sealed recessed light fixtures. Finally, make certain the whole house fans and attic access panels are tightly sealed.  
These are important design considerations that must be observed during the design and construction stage of the  
home.  
If you desire to put a fireplace in your basement, we recommend that you consider a direct vent gas fireplace. Basements  
always have a significant negative air pressure that causes the fireplace system to be more susceptible to smoke  
spillage and cold flue backdrafting. Since direct vent gas fireplaces are sealed, they are not affected by the negative  
pressure that exists in basements.  
Finally, woodburning fireplaces perform best when their chimney (roof termination) is located on the upper half of the  
roof, especially when cathedral ceilings are present. Chimneys that are located on the lower half of the roof realize what  
is known as “lazy flue” and will not draft as well as a chimney that is located in the upper portion of the roof. The reason  
for this is that the stack effect generated by the overall height of the living spaces inside the house will exceed the draft  
generated by the chimney system. If you desire to place a woodburning fireplace in a location where the termination cap  
would be located on the lower half of a roof, such as on an outside wall at the base of a cathedral ceiling, we recommend  
that you consider using a direct vent gas fireplace. This will assure the homeowner a fireplace that operates correctly.  
These properties do not affect just your woodburning factory-built fireplace. They can cause any woodburning fireplace  
as well as any conventionally vented (B-vent) gas appliance to operate improperly. Careful planning at this stage of your  
project will ensure satisfaction with the operation of your fireplace once it is completed.

D. PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION  
1. Fireplace Locations and Space Requirements  
Several options are available to you when choosing a location for your fireplace. This fireplace may be used as a  
room divider, installed along a wall, across a corner or used in an exterior chase. See Figure 2.  
Locating the fireplace in a basement, near frequently opened doors, central heat outlets or returns, or other locations  
of considerable air movement can affect the performance and cause intermittent smoke spillage from the front of the  
fireplace. Consideration should be given to these factors before deciding on a location.  
CLEARANCES!  
A minimum ¾” air clearance  
must be maintained at the  
back and sides of the fire-  
place assembly except at the  
nailing flange where the  
clearance is ½”.  
Chimney sections at any level  
require a 2” minimum air  
space clearance between the  
framing and chimney section.  
Figure 2 - Fireplace Locations  
Figures 3 and 4 show two typical installations assuming an outside air kit is being used. Therefore, an allowance must  
be made for 90° bends. Less space is required when ducting goes directly outside without forming elbows.

WARNING!  
Do not draw outside air from garage spaces. Exhaust products of gasoline engines are hazardous.  
Do not install outside air ducts such that the air may be drawn from attic spaces, basements or above the  
roofing where other heating appliances or fans and chimneys exhaust or utilize air. These precautions will  
reduce the possibility of fireplace smoking or air flow reversal.  
WARNING!  
To prevent contact with sagging or loose insulation, the fireplace must not be installed against vapor barriers  
or exposed insulation. Localized overheating could occur and a fire could result.

2. Framing the Fireplace  
The T4200 fireplace will fit a framed opening of 52” wide x 435/8” tall. The finished cavity depth must be no less than  
27¾”.  
Figure 5 shows a typical framing (using 2 x 4 lumber) of the fireplace, assuming combustible materials are used. All  
required clearances to combustibles around the fireplace must be adhered to. Any framing across the top of the  
fireplace must be above the level of the top standoffs. Chimney sections at any level require a 2” minimum air  
space clearance between the framing and chimney section.  
CLEARANCES!  
A minimum ¾” air clearance must be  
maintained at the back and sides of  
the fireplace assembly except at the  
nailing flange where the clearance is  
½”.  
Chimney sections at any level require  
a 2” minimum air space clearance  
between the framing and chimney  
section.  
Figure 5 - Framing the Fireplace  
WARNING!  
Do not apply combustible finishing materials over any part of the black face of this fireplace or a structure fire  
may result. The black metal fireplace front may only be covered with noncombustible materials such as ce-  
ramic tile, brick, or stone. Do not cover or block any cooling air slots. Do not cover any portion of the opening  
to the fireplace that would prevent the installation of an authorized glass door.  
3. Sidewalls/Surrounds  
Adjacent combustible side walls must be located a minimum of 24” from the fireplace opening. See Figure 6. If you  
are using a decorative surround constructed of combustible material, it must be located within the shaded area  
defined in Figure 6. Short stub walls are also acceptable if they are contained within the shaded area.

E. CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS  
When planning your fireplace location, the chimney construction and necessary clearances must be considered. The  
fireplace system and chimney components have been tested to provide flexibility in construction. The following figures are  
the minimum distances from the base of the fireplace.  
1. Minimum overall straight height  
2. Minimum height with offset/return  
3. Maximum height  
4. Maximum chimney length between an offset and return  
5. Maximum distance between chimney stabilizers  
6. Double offset/return minimum height  
7. Maximum unsupported chimney length between the offset and return

1. Using Offsets and Returns  
a. To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may be offset using a 30° offset/return (SL1130). Perform the  
following steps to determine the correct chimney component combination for your particular installation.  
b. An offset and return may be attached together or a chimney section(s) may be used between an offset and  
return.  
1) Measure how far the chimney needs to be shifted to enable it to avoid the overhead obstacle. See Figure 7,  
dimension “A” to determine chimney sections required to achieve the needed shift.  
2) After determining the offset dimension, refer to Table 1 and find the “A” dimension closest to but not less  
than the distance of shift needed for your installation.  
3) The “B” dimension that coincides with the “A” dimension represents the required vertical clearance that is  
needed to complete the offset and return.  
4) Read across the chart and find the number of chimney sections required and the model number of those  
particular chimney parts.  
5) Whenever the chimney penetrates a floor/ceiling, a firestop spacer must be installed.  
6) The effective height of the fireplace assembly is measured from the base of fireplace to top of starter collar.  
See Figure 6.

2. Chimney Height Requirements (above roof  
line)  
a. Major building codes specify a minimum chimney  
height above the roof top. These specifications  
are summarized in what is known as the Ten Foot  
Rule. This rule states:  
“If the horizontal distance from the side of the  
chimney to the peak of the roof is ten feet or less,  
the top of the chimney must be at least two feet  
above the peak of the roof, but never less than  
three feet in overall height above the highest point  
where it passes through the roof.  
“If the horizontal distance from the side of the  
chimney to the peak of the roof is more than ten  
feet, a chimney height reference point is  
established on the surface of the roof a distance  
of ten feet from the side of the chimney in a  
horizontal plane. The top of the chimney must be  
at least two feet above this reference point, but  
never less than three feet in height above the  
highest point where it passes through the roof.”  
See Figure 8.  
b. These chimney heights are necessary in the  
interest of safety but do not ensure smoke-free  
operation. Trees, buildings, adjoining roof lines,  
adverse wind conditions, etc. may create a need  
for a taller chimney should smoking occur.  
Figure 8 - Chimney Height  
3. Number of Sections Required  
To determine the chimney components needed to  
complete your particular installation, follow the steps  
below:  
Table 2  
a. Determine the total vertical height of the fireplace  
installation. This dimension is measured from the  
base of the fireplace assembly to the point where  
the smoke exits the termination cap.

F. INSTALLATION OF FIREPLACE  
WARNING!  
Before starting, do the following:  
1. Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.  
2. Keep hand tools in good condition. Sharpen cutting edges and make sure tool handles are secure.  
3. Always maintain the minimum air space required to the enclosure to prevent fire.  
1. Position the Fireplace  
This fireplace may be placed on either a combustible  
or noncombustible continuous flat surface. Follow the  
instructions for framing on pages 9 and 10. Slide the  
fireplace into position. Be sure to provide the  
minimum air clearance at the sides and back of  
the fireplace assembly.  
2. Place the Protective Metal Hearth Strips  
Included with your fireplace you will find two metal  
hearth strips measuring approximately 28” x 4”. These  
strips are used to provide added protection where the  
fireplace and the hearth extension meet.  
Slide each metal strip 2” under the front edge of the  
fireplace. The individual pieces must overlap each  
other by 1” minimum in the middle of the fireplace to  
provide continuous coverage of the floor. See Figure 9.  
These metal strips should extend from the front and  
sides of the fireplace opening by 2”.  
Figure 9 - Positioning the Metal Strips  
3. Level the Fireplace  
Level the fireplace side-to-side and front-to-back. Shim  
with noncombustible material, such as sheet metal,  
as necessary. Secure the fireplace (using the nailing  
flanges located on either side of the fireplace) to the  
vertical framing.  
Important: To ensure proper fit of the glass doors,  
check the fireplace opening for square. Measure  
diagonal distances of the opening to make sure  
they are equal. If they are not equal, continue to  
shim the fireplace until those diagonals are equal.

T4200 FIREPLACE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
4. Assemble Chimney Sections  
Attach either a straight chimney section or an offset to  
the top of the fireplace (depending on your installation  
requirement). Chimney sections are locked together  
by pushing downward until the top section meets the  
stop bead on the lower section.  
The inner flue is placed to the inside of the flue section  
below it. The outer casing is placed outside the outer  
casing of the chimney section below it. See Figure 10.  
WARNING!  
Carefully follow the instructions for assembly  
of the pipe and other parts needed to install this  
fireplace system. Failure to do so may result in  
a fire, especially if combustibles are too close  
to the fireplace or chimney and air spaces are  
blocked, preventing the free movement of cool-  
ing air.  
Figure 10  
Assembling Chimney  
Sections  
5. Install Firestop Spacers  
Mark and cut out an opening in the ceiling for the  
firestop spacer being utilized (17” x 17” for an FS538,  
17” x 26” for an FS540). Frame the opening with the  
same dimension lumber used in the ceiling joists.  
Install the firestop spacer.  
These firestop spacers are designed to provide the  
minimum 2” air space required around the chimney. In  
all situations, the firestop spacers are to be nailed to  
the ceiling joists from the bottom or fireplace side,  
EXCEPT when the space above is an insulated ceiling  
or attic space. In this situation, the firestop spacer must  
be nailed from the top side to prevent loose insulation  
from falling into the required 2” air space around the  
chimney. See Figure 11.  
CAUTION:  
Firestop spacers must be used whenever the  
chimney penetrates a ceiling/floor area.

6. Attic Insulation Shield  
b
8. Secure the Chimney System  
An insulation shield should be installed when there  
is a possibility of insulation coming into contact with  
the factory built chimney system.  
When offsets and returns are joined to straight pipe  
sections, they must be locked into position with the  
screws provided (outer only), using the predrilled holes.  
To prevent gravity from pulling the chimney sections  
apart, the returns and the chimney stabilizers have  
straps for securing these parts to joists or rafters. See  
Figure 13.  
a. Bend the tabs at the top of the attic insulation  
shield inward. This will help keep the chimney  
section centered in the shield.  
b. Position the shield over the vertical chimney  
section where it penetrates a firestop spacer.  
Note: You must provide support for the pipe dur-  
ing construction and check to be sure inadvertent  
loading has not dislodged the chimney section from  
the fireplace or at any chimney joint.  
c. Slide the shield down until it rests on the firestop  
spacer. The firestop spacer will support the  
insulation shield. See Figure 12.  
Figure 12 - Installing an Insulation Shield  
WARNING! RISK OF FIRE.  
Figure 13 - Offset/Return with Stabilizer  
b
Do not fill the space between the chimney sec-  
tion and the insulation shield with insulation.  
WARNING!  
When chimney sections exceeding six feet in  
length are installed between an offset and re-  
turn, structural support must be provided to re-  
duce off-center loading and prevent chimney  
sections from separating at the chimney joints.  
7. Double-check the Chimney Assembly  
Continue assembling the chimney sections up through  
the firestop spacers as needed. While doing so, be  
aware of the height and unsupported chimney length  
limitations that are given on page 11 under “Chimney  
Requirements”.  
Check each section by pulling up slightly from the top  
to ensure proper engagement before installing the  
succeeding sections. If they have been connected  
correctly, they will not disengage when tested.  
WARNING!  
Maintain a minimum of 2” air clearance to all  
parts of the chimney system at all times! Fail-  
ure to maintain this 2” air clearance will cause  
a structure fire.  
CAUTION:  
Inner flue and outer liner sections cannot be  
disassembled once locked together. Plan ahead  
to ensure the proper installation height is  
achieved with the selected chimney compo-  
nents.

9. Mark the Exit Point of the Roof  
Locate the point where the chimney will exit the roof  
by plumbing down to the center of the chimney. Drive  
a nail up through the roof to mark the center. See  
Figure 14.  
10. Cut out the Hole in the Roof  
Measure to either side of the nail and mark the 17” x 17”  
or 17” x 26” opening required. This is measured on the  
horizontal; actual length may be larger depending on  
the pitch of the roof. Cut out and frame the opening.  
See Chapter 25 of the Uniform Building Code for  
roof framing details.  
Be sure to maintain a 2” minimum air space  
between the chimney section and the roof.

Roof  
Continue to add chimney sections through the roof  
opening, maintaining at least a 2” air space.  
12. Install the Roof Flashing  
If a roof flashing is to be used, install the roof flashing  
appropriate to the roof pitch and install a round  
termination cap following the instructions shipped with  
the cap.  
Figure 14 - Ceiling/Attic Construction  
For chase installations you can use a round termination  
cap (TR11), a round telescoping termination cap  
(TR11T) or a square termination cap (ST1175). Achase  
installation must use a chase top. Chase tops are  
available from your Heatilator distributor. See page 20  
for building a chase.  
13. Install the Outside Air Kit  
The outside air kit is supplied as a standard feature  
with this fireplace and its use is highly recommended  
to minimize the effects of negative pressure within the  
structure. It is recommended to utilize the shortest duct  
run to optimize the performance of the outside air kit.  
The outside air kit inlet thimble should be positioned  
at least four feet above the ground level, in a manner  
that will not allow snow, leaves, etc. to block the inlet.  
Figure 15 - Air Kit Handle Location  
The outside air kit is installed on the left hand side of  
the fireplace. Remove the cover plate from the side of  
the fireplace assembly where the air kit is to be  
installed. See Figure 15 for handle location/operation.  
CAUTION:  
14. Install the Chimney Air Kit  
The air kit handle may get hot while burning  
the fireplace. Use care when operating the  
handle.  
When installing the chimney air kit, follow the  
instructions provided with this accessory.

15. Complete the Enclosure  
Complete the fireplace enclosure, allowing space for  
outside air ducts and gas piping if desired. Electrical  
wiring should not come in contact with the fireplace. A  
minimum clearance of ¾” must be maintained  
between the fireplace sides and the enclosure as  
well as the fireplace back and the enclosure. See  
pages 9 and 10 for framing details.  
Note: Use only a noncombustible material to finish  
the face of the fireplace below the level of the front  
standoffs. A noncombustible material such as USG  
MICORE CV230 Mineral Fiber Board, or USG  
DUROCK Cement Board is recommended for this  
purpose.  
CAUTION:  
When using a gas log set, the fireplace damper  
must be set in the fully open position. This en-  
sures proper venting of combustion products.  
16. Gas Log/Lighter Provisions  
Figure 16 - Air Clearance Around Gas Line  
Knockouts are provided on both sides of the fireplace  
to allow for connection of a certified gas log lighter or  
a decorative gas appliance with a maximum input of  
100,000 BTU/hour, incorporating an automatic gas  
shutoff device and complying with the Standard for  
Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in  
Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60. The decorative gas  
appliance should be installed in accordance with the  
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1980. The side  
refractories are designed to allow ½” iron pipe to pass  
through. Use a noncombustible sealant to seal any  
opening between the gas pipe and refractory on the  
inside. Repack the insulation removed to seal around  
the gas pipe where it exits the side of the fireplace. A  
minimum 1½” air clearance must be provided around  
the ½” iron pipe for a minimum of 4 inches beyond the  
fireplace. See Figure 16.  
CLEARANCES!  
A minimum ¾” air clearance must be maintained at  
the back and sides of the fireplace assembly ex-  
cept at the nailing flange where the clearance is ½”.  
Chimney sections at any level require a 2” minimum  
air space clearance between the framing and chim-  
ney section.  
WARNING!  
This fireplace was not tested by the fireplace  
manufacturer for use with an unvented gas log  
heater. To reduce risk of injury, do not install  
an unvented gas log heater in this fireplace un-  
less it has been specifically tested and listed  
by Underwriter’s Laboratories Inc. for use in  
this specific model fireplace. Unless the  
unvented gas log heater is tested and listed for  
use in this factory built fireplace, a fire hazard  
may be created that can result in a structure

fireplace and chimney or for the chimney only. It is most  
commonly constructed on an outside wall.  
a. The chase is constructed using framing materials  
much the same as the walls in your home. Avariety  
of materials may be used including brick, stone,  
veneer brick, or standard siding materials.  
In cold climates, it is recommended that the chase floor be  
insulated using batt type insulation between the floor joists.

2. Chase Top  
Construct a chase of desired materials maintaining a  
minimum 2” air space around the chimney.  
3. Termination Cap  
a. Install the chimney sections up through the chase  
enclosure. When using a TR11 round termination  
cap, the uppermost top section of pipe must extend  
6” above the top of the chase collar to allow  
installation of the storm collar and termination cap.  
See Figure 22.  
b. For installations utilizing a TR11T telescoping  
round termination cap, the uppermost chimney  
section must be below the top of the chase top,  
but not more than 14½” below the top of the chase  
top flashing collar. See Figure 23.  
c. For installations utilizing an ST1175 square  
termination cap the last chimney section must not  
be more than 4½” below the chase top. See  
Figure 22 - Installing a TR11 Round Termination Cap

WARNING!  
Never install a single wall slip section or smoke-pipe in a chase structure. The higher temperature of this  
single wall pipe may radiate sufficient heat to combustible chase materials to cause a fire.  
WARNING!  
Detailed instructions for installation of the chase top, storm collar and termination cap are packaged with  
these parts. To avoid danger of fire, all instructions must be strictly followed, including the provision of air  
space clearance between chimney system and enclosure. To protect against the effects of corrosion on those  
parts exposed to the weather, we recommend that the chase top and termination cap be painted with a rust-  
resistant paint.

H. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Note: Save and pass this instruction manual to subsequent home owners. The information  
provided is intended to notify and warn them about making unsafe future modifications  
such as the addition of shelves or the use of unauthorized parts and repairs.  
1. General Information  
2. Outside Air  
This fireplace is intended to operate as a supplemental  
heat source for a single room. It is not designed to  
function as a primary heat source for a structure.  
A source of air (oxygen) is required in order for  
combustion to take place. Whatever air is consumed  
by the fire must be replaced through cracks around  
windows, under doors, etc. Most newly constructed  
houses or existing homes fitted with tightly sealed doors  
and windows are relatively air tight. In this case, an  
outside air source must be made available to feed  
combustion air from outside the home.  
Fireplaces, as well as other woodburning appliances,  
have been used safely for many years. It has been our  
experience that most problems are caused by improper  
installation and operation of the fireplace. Make certain  
that installation and operation of the fireplace system  
is in accordance with these instructions.  
A damper control handle allows you control of the  
outside air inlet if your fireplace is equipped with this  
option. Use of outside air for combustion is highly  
recommended to conserve heated air within the  
structure and to provide make up air to keep the  
fireplace venting properly.  
It is extremely important that the fire be supervised  
whenever the fireplace is in use. It is also  
recommended that an annual inspection be performed  
on the fireplace system to determine if the flue system  
needs to be cleaned, or as in the case of any appliance,  
if minor repairs are required to maintain the system in  
top operating condition.  
This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate  
ventilation is provided to allow proper draft to the  
fireplace system. Hearth & Home Technologies  
assumes no responsibility for the improper  
performance of the fireplace system caused by  
inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down  
drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or  
mechanical exhausting devices which create a  
negative air pressure within the structure where the  
fireplace is located.  
This factory built fireplace is intended for use with either  
solid fuel (firewood) or a decorative gas appliance that  
has been tested and listed to the Standard for  
Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in  
Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60. When operating  
your fireplace, the flue damper must be in the open  
position.  
This fireplace was not tested and listed for use with an  
unvented gas log heater. Do not install an unvented  
gas log heater in this fireplace and operate it with the  
flue damper in the closed position unless the unvented  
gas log heater has been specifically tested and listed  
for use in this fireplace by Underwriters Laboratories  
Inc.  
CAUTION:  
Fireplace operation does require air. Do not take  
air from other fuel burning appliances which can  
result in improper venting (smoking) or air dilu-  
tion. Always provide adequate makeup air.  
Use of an unvented gas log heater in this factory  
built fireplace may create a fire hazard that can  
result in a structure fire.  
3. Flue Damper  
WARNING!  
The flue damper must be in a full open position, and is  
operated by moving the handle up toward the top of  
the fireplace. Before lighting the fire, verify this by  
looking up from the inside of the fireplace. Always  
operate this fireplace with the damper fully open.  
Please note: down drafts, obstructions, damaged or  
poor (wet) fuels can cause smoke spillage.  
DO NOT operate this fireplace with the flue  
damper in the closed position. Combustion  
products must vent up the chimney system to  
prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, and to  
prevent hot combustion gases from contacting  
and overheating combustible surfaces. Failure  
to operate this fireplace with the damper in the  
open position may result in asphyxiation or a  
structure fire.

4. Glass Doors  
7. Wood Fuel  
Most efficient fireplace operation using glass doors is  
with the doors open. When the doors are open, the  
screen must be closed. Only Hearth & Home  
Technologies Inc. glass doors may be used. See  
Figure 25 for proper glass door operation.  
FIREWOOD: Your fireplace performance depends on  
the quality of the firewood you use. All seasoned wood,  
regardless of species, contains about 8,000 BTU’s per  
pound, and hardwoods have a greater density than  
soft woods. Apiece of hardwood will contain about 60%  
more BTU’s than an equal size piece of soft wood.  
Firewood is commonly sold by the cord (128 cu. ft.). A  
cord of seasoned oak (hardwood) would contain about  
60% more potential energy than a cord of seasoned  
pine (soft wood).  
Soft woods are generally considered coniferous. These  
are trees with needle-like leaves that stay green all  
year and carry their seeds exposed in a cone.  
Examples of soft wood trees are Douglas fir, pine,  
spruce, and cedar. Soft woods require less time to dry,  
burn faster and are easier to ignite than hardwoods.  
Hardwoods are generally considered deciduous.  
Deciduous trees are broadleaf trees that lose their  
leaves in the fall. Their seeds are usually found within  
a protective pod or enclosure. Some examples are oak,  
maple, apple, and birch. It should be noted that there  
are some deciduous trees that are not considered  
hardwoods, such as poplar, aspen, and alder.  
Hardwoods require more time to season, burn slower  
and are usually harder to ignite than soft woods.  
Figure 25  
Proper Operating Positions of Bi-Fold Doors  
5. Grate  
The factory installed integral grate must be used to  
hold the logs from falling out of an open fireplace and  
to allow air to pass between the burning logs. It is  
important to keep the fire off the hearth and to allow  
the ashes to collect beneath the fire, thereby forming  
a layer of additional heat protection.  
The best wood fuel is a combination of soft wood and  
hardwood. Start the fire with soft wood; the fire will give  
off quick heat to bring the fireplace up to operating  
temperature, and then the hardwood can be added for  
slow, even heat and longer burn time.  
6. Firescreen  
MOISTURE: Regardless of which species of wood you  
burn, the single most important factor that effects the  
way your fireplace operates is the amount of moisture  
in the wood. The majority of the problems fireplace  
owners experience are caused by trying to burn wet,  
unseasoned wood.  
A firescreen is always provided to control sparks. It  
must be closed whenever the fireplace is in use. Glass  
doors or firescreens must not be used to hold burning  
material inside the fireplace. Only those glass doors  
specifically tested and listed for use with the specific  
fireplace model should be used. Screens should be  
closed when the glass doors are closed.  
Freshly cut wood can be as much water as it is wood,  
having a moisture content of around 50%. Imagine a  
wooden bucket that weighs about eight pounds. Fill it  
with a gallon of water, put it in the fireplace and try to  
burn it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly what  
you are doing if you burn unseasoned wood.  
CAUTION:  
When left closed while burning your fireplace,  
firescreens and glass doors will be HOT.  
Handle with care!  
WARNING!  
WARNING!  
Do not store fuel within the clearances to com-  
bustibles, or in the space required for refueling  
and ash removal. See maintenance instructions,  
“Clear Space Near the Fireplace”.  
Burning wet, unseasoned wood can cause ex-  
cessive creosote accumulation. When ignited  
it can cause a chimney fire that may result in a  
serious house fire.

T4200 FIREPLACE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
SEASONING: Seasoned firewood is nothing more than  
Note: The first three or four fires should be of mod-  
erate size to allow the oils and binders to be burned  
from the fireplace and the refractory and paint to cure.  
You may notice an industrial odor the first few fires.  
This is considered normal.  
wood that is cut to size, split and air dried to a moisture  
content of around 20%. The time it takes to season  
wood varies from around nine months for soft woods  
to as long as eighteen months for hardwoods. The key  
to seasoning wood is to be sure it has been split,  
exposing the wet interior and increasing the surface  
area of each piece. A tree that was 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.  
As you use the fireplace, expansion and contraction  
will cause minor cracking of the refractory. This is  
normal, unavoidable, and will not affect the perfor-  
mance of the fireplace. If the cracks become large  
enough that the metal behind the refractory is ex-  
posed or large pieces fall out, the panels should  
be replaced.  
The following guideline will ensure properly seasoned  
wood:  
a. Stack the wood to allow air to circulate freely  
around and through the woodpile.  
b. Elevate the woodpile off the ground to allow air  
circulation underneath.  
CAUTION:  
c. The smaller the pieces, the faster the drying  
process. Any piece over six inches in diameter  
should be split.  
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,  
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liq-  
uids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this fire-  
place. Keep all such liquids well away from the  
fireplace.  
d. Cover the top of the woodpile for protection from  
rain and snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends  
completely. Doing so may trap moisture from the  
ground and impede air circulation.  
The problems with burning wet, unseasoned wood are  
twofold: First, you will receive less heat output from  
wet wood because it requires energy in the form of  
heat to evaporate the water trapped inside. This is  
wasted energy that should be used for heating your  
home. Secondly, this moisture evaporates in the form  
of steam which has a cooling effect in your fireplace  
and chimney system. When combined with tar and  
other organic vapors from burning wood it will form  
creosote which condenses in the relatively cool  
fireplace and chimney.  
WARNING!  
Fireplaces equipped with doors should be op-  
erated only with the doors fully open or fully  
closed. If doors are left partially open, gas and  
flame may be drawn out of the fireplace open-  
ing, creating the risk of both fire and smoke.  
9. Draft Problems  
Note: When first lighting your fireplace, it may be  
necessary to pre-warm the flue to establish a draft.  
This is done by holding a rolled up piece of burning  
newspaper under the flue damper for a few moments.  
This will help reduce smoke spillage during start-  
up.  
8. Starting a Fire  
Check the flue damper to be certain it is in the full open  
position. Place crumpled or twisted paper under the  
fireplace grate. Loosely arrange kindling or small  
pieces of wood to form a layer above the paper.  
The fires must be built on the fireplace grate, without  
danger of the burning fuel falling out of the fireplace  
opening.  
This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate  
ventilation is provided to allow proper draft to the  
fireplace system. Hearth & Home Technologies  
assumes no responsibility for the improper  
performance of the fireplace system caused by  
inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down  
drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or  
mechanical exhausting devices which will create a  
negative air pressure within the structure where the  
fireplace is located.  
Light the paper and add small pieces of wood until a  
hot bed of embers has been established.  
After establishing the fire bed, and the small firewood  
is burning briskly, add a minimum of three average  
sized pieces of split firewood, place the wood in such  
a manner to allow combustion air and flames between  
them.

T4200 FIREPLACE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
Flue draft is measured as negative pressure in the  
chimney. The amount of negative pressure determines  
how strong the draft is. The draft is important because  
it draws the combustion air into the fireplace and pulls  
the smoke out of the chimney.  
If the fire is hard to start and smoke spills out of the  
fireplace, or you find it difficult to establish and maintain  
a moderately high burn rate, then the flue draft is too  
low and corrective measures must be taken.  
Be sure you have air available for combustion and that  
your firewood is dry and well seasoned. Build your fires  
properly and according to the instructions given in  
operating instructions, “Starting a Fire”. Be sure your  
flue system is installed correctly and that it is the proper  
diameter and height. Check for the following:  
There are three basic criteria essential in establishing  
and maintaining flue draft:  
Availability of combustion air.  
Heat generated from the fire.  
Diameter and height of the flue system.  
All chimney sections are properly installed and  
the joints are tightly sealed.  
The chimney is clean and free of creosote  
buildup.  
Make sure overhanging trees and branches are  
cut back within ten feet of the top of the  
chimney.  
These three factors work together as a system to create  
the flue draft. Increasing or decreasing any one of them  
will affect the other two and thus change the amount  
of draft in the entire system. See Figure 26.  
Ensure the chimney cap is clean and free of  
any buildup of soot or creosote.  
If you still suspect you have a low draft problem it may  
be necessary to increase the volume of air in your flue  
system. Since the diameter of your flue system is  
matched with the size of the flue collar and should not  
be changed, then the height of the system must be  
increased. Add chimney sections a little at a time until  
the draft improves.  
In some cases, regardless of what you do, it can still  
be difficult to establish the proper flue draft. This is  
especially evident when using an exterior factory built  
chimney or exterior masonry chimney. Try placing  
several sheets of crumpled paper on top of your kindling  
as close to the flue outlet of the fireplace as possible.  
Light this paper first then the paper under the kindling.  
The heat generated from the rapidly burning paper on  
top of the kindling should help get the draft established.  
Still other factors can affect how well your flue system  
performs. Neighboring structures, high winds, tall trees,  
even hillsides can affect air currents around the  
chimney. Well designed chimney caps are available  
that can help. Your fireplace dealer is the local expert  
in your area. He or she can usually make suggestions  
or discover problems that can be easily corrected  
allowing your fireplace to operate correctly as it has  
been designed, providing safe and economical heat  
for your home.

I. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Disposal of Ashes  
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a  
tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should  
be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,  
well away from all combustible materials, pending final  
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil  
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained  
in the closed container until all embers have thoroughly  
cooled.  
WARNING!  
A chimney fire can permanently damage your  
chimney system. This damage can only be re-  
paired by replacing the damaged component  
parts. Chimney fires are not covered by the Lim-  
ited Warranty and Buyer Protection Plan.  
2. Creosote and Soot  
3. Chimney Cleaning  
Inspect the chimney internally for obstructions and  
construction damage. Flue pipe joints and seams must  
be continuous and mechanical tight. In a used chimney,  
additional inspection is needed for creosote buildup,  
which is the formation of a flammable sediment.  
If you do detect a buildup of creosote, contact a  
qualified chimney sweep or clean it yourself. To do this,  
perform the following steps:  
a. Open the damper.  
b. Hang a damp sheet across the fireplace opening  
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 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.  
to stop dirt and soot from entering the room.  
c. Remove the termination cap or housing top.See  
Figure 27.  
d. Clean with a stiff nylon brush attached to a pole  
OR tie a small burlap bag filled with straw and  
several small stones or sand. Work up and down  
the flue until the flue is clean.  
The chimney should be inspected at least twice a year  
during the heating season to determine if creosote  
buildup has occurred.  
e. Replace the termination cap or housing top.  
If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed  
to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.  
4. Clear Space Near the Fireplace  
Combustible materials must not be stored on the hearth  
extension. Room furnishings such as drapes, curtains,  
chairs, or other combustibles must be at least four feet  
from the open front of the fireplace.

HEATILATOR WOODBURNING FIREPLACE  
Limited Warranty  
As part of its  
20-YEAR BUYER PROTECTION PROGRAM  
AS PART OF ITS 20 YEAR BUYER PROTECTION PROGRAM (“PROGRAM”), HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES INC. (“HHT”)  
is pleased to offer a Limited Warranty and a Replacement Parts Advantage covering specific components of your Heatilator woodburning  
fireplace system ( the “Fireplace”), installed in the United States of America or Canada. Dealers and employees of HHT have no authority  
to make any warranty or authorize any remedies in addition to or inconsistent with the terms of this Program.  
Limited Warranty  
HHT warrants the following components of your Heatilator woodburning fireplace to be free from original defects in material and workmanship  
during the applicable periods described: five years for the firebox assembly, chimney system and roof termination; two years for refractory  
firebox liners; and one year for the grate, wire mesh screens, fan system, outside air system, and glass doors. All limited warranty periods  
run from the date of initial installation of your Fireplace (the “Installation Date”). The Limited Warranty is subject to the conditions, exclusions  
and limitations of liability listed below.  
Replacement Parts Advantage  
Under HHT’s Replacement Parts Advantage, for a period of twenty years from your Installation Date of your Fireplace, if available, HHT will  
provide you with repair or replacement parts for defective components which are no longer under their applicable Limited Warranty, at 50%  
of the then current retail list price for such components. HHT shall have no responsibility for freight and labor charges related to such parts.  
Conditions, Exclusions, & Limitations of Liability  
A. Both the Limited Warranty and Replacement Parts Advantage supplied by HHT apply only while the Fireplace is in its location of  
original installation. HHT’s obligation under this warranty does not extend to damages resulting from (1) installation, operation or  
maintenance of the Fireplace not in accordance with the Installation Instructions, Operating Instructions, and the Listing Agent  
Identification Label furnished with the Appliance; (2) installation which does not comply with local building codes; (3) shipping, improper  
handling, improper operation, abuse, misuse, accident or unworkmanlike repairs; (4) environmental conditions, inadequate ventilation  
or drafting caused by tight sealing construction of the structure, air handling devices such as exhaust fans or forced air furnaces, or  
other causes; (5) use of fuels other than those specified in the Operating Instructions; (6) installation or use of components not  
supplied with the Fireplace or any other components not expressly authorized and approved by HHT; and/or (7) modification of the  
Fireplace not expressly authorized and approved by HHT in writing. This warranty is limited to only the component parts manufactured  
or supplied by HHT.  
B. During the first year of the Limited Warranty, HHT will, at its sole option, repair or replace any covered defective component and  
will provide replacement parts at no charge. And will pay reasonable labor and freight costs. During the second through the fifth years  
of the Limited Warranty (if applicable), HHT will provide replacement parts free of charge for any covered defective component, but will  
not pay for freight or labor costs related to the shipment of the parts or the actual repair or replacement. After the fifth anniversary of  
the Installation date, HHT’s sole obligation and your exclusive remedy is set forth in HHT’s Replacement Parts Advantage described  
above. In no event shall HHT be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in your Fireplace.  
C. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, HHT MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY  
SPECIFIED HEREIN. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO DURATION OF THE WARRANTY SPECIFIED  
ABOVE.  
D. Some states do not allow exclusions or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so those limitations may not apply to  
you. This warranty gives you specific rights; you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.  
How to Obtain Service  
1. To obtain service under this warranty you must:  
2. Send written notice of the claimed condition to Heatilator Technical Service Department, Hearth & Home Technologies, 1915 W.  
3. Provide proof of purchase, model number, serial number, and manufacturing date code to HHT.  
4. Provide HHT reasonable opportunity to investigate the claim, including reasonable opportunity to inspect the Appliance prior to any  
repair or replacement work and before the Appliance or any component of the Appliance has been removed from the place of original  
installation.  
5. Obtain HHT’s consent to any warranty work before the work is done.
