GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This is the most efficient, simple and trouble free woodburning system we know of and works as follows:

FIGURE 3

Primary combustion air enters through the air control inlet box regulated by a draft control, travels up the side through a duct and enters the top centre of the combustion chamber into a preheating airwash located across the top and then down the window to feed the fi re and also to ensure that the glass remains clean.

Secondary air feeds directly into the combustion chamber at hearth level through the log retainer and also through inlets located at the bottom back corners of the combustion chamber. This air travels up the riser to the four secondary air tubes located at the top and shoots out laterally to oxidize the gases rising to the smoke exit.

The combustion chamber is lined with high-temperature firebrick on all sides, and across the bottom to maintain a high temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing with the preheated air from the secondary air tubes are easily ignited and burned. The fireplace sides and back permit a zero clearance installation and direct the heat upwards and forwards into the room. Be sure to provide suf- ficient combustion air. There are many other appliances in your home competing for air such as a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.

If the outside air feature is utilized, you will never experience a shortage of combustion air. If you choose not to utilize outside air and experience draft or smoking problems, you may need to open a door or window.

After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fi replace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the firebox burning off. Open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.

GENERAL INFORMATION

CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:

Use of this product may produce smoke which contains chemi- cals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Do not use makeshift compromises during installation.Do not block or restrict air, grille or louvre openings! Do not add a hood.

Burning your unit with the ash dump door open or ajar creates a fi re hazard that may result in discoloration to the gold plated door, internal damage to the fireplace or a house and/or chimney fire.

All venting connections must be in compliance with the chimney manu- facturers installation instructions.

Clearances referred to throughout this manual are the minimum re- quirements.

Your fireplace must be installed in accordance with all national and local building code standards and the standard of Chimney and Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances NFPA #211. Consult the authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal building department, fire department, fi re prevention bureau, etc.) to determine the need to obtain a permit. If you are in doubt about the proper installation for your situation, contact your dealer or local building or fire offi cial. The manufacturer does not guarantee that this fi replace and its options will completely heat your entire home.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.

Mobile home installation requires that the fireplace be secured to the fl oor. It is recommended that in all cases, the fi replace be secured to the fl oor. Use the pallet packing brackets to accomplish this.

CARE OF GLASS AND PLATED PARTS

If the glass is not kept clean permanent discoloration and / or blem- ishes may result. Normally a hot fi re will clean the glass. The most common reasons for dirty glass include: not using suffi cient fuel to get the stove thoroughly hot, using green or wet wood, closing the draft so far that there is insuffi cient air for complete combustion. If it is necessary to clean the glass, use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not clean the glass when hot!

The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest or fall against it and always close the door gently. Never force it shut!

If the glass should ever crack while the fire is burning, do not open the door until the fire is out and do not operate the stove again until the glass has been replaced with a new 5mm thick piece of ceramic glass, available from your authorized dealer. Do not substitute materials.

For information on glass removal and replacement, see Mainte- nance.

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth.

Prolonged high temperature burning with the door ajar may cause a permanent rainbowing effect on the lower edge of a gold plated door.

NOTE: The protective wrap on plated parts is best removed when the assembly is at room temperature but this can be improved if the assembly is warmed, using a hair dryer or similar heat source.

When the appliance is equipped with a 24 karat gold-plated door, you must clean all the fi ngerprints and oils from the gold surface before fi ring the appliance for the fi rst time. Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and towel to remove the oils. If not cleaned properly before lighting your fi rst fi re, the oils can cause permanent mark- ings on the gold plating. After the gold plating is cured, the oils will not affect the fi nish and little maintenance is required, just wipe clean as needed.
