A. Design and Installation Considerations

CAUTION

Check building codes prior to installation.

•Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

•Consult insurance carrier, local building, fi re offi cials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.

Quadra-Fire wood inserts are designed for factory-built non- combustible fi replaces that have been installed in accor- dance with the National, Provincial, State and local building codes.

1. Prior to installing the wood insert:

B. Draft

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances successfully. When a appliance is drafting successfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the chimney.

Considerations for successful draft include:

•Preventing negative pressure

•Location of appliance and chimney

To be sure that your appliance burns properly:

•During a low burn, the chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.04 inch water column (W.C.)

•During a high burn the chimney draft should be approximately -.10 inch (W.C.)

•Measure the W.C at 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.

•Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected and cleaned by qualifi ed professionals. Heart & Home Tech- nologies recommends that NFI or CSIA certifi ed profes- sionals, or technicians under the direction of certifi ed professionals, conduct a minmum of a NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection of the chimney.

•Replace component parts of the chimney and fi replace as specifi ed by the professionals.

•Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the chimney is properly secured.

2. Prior to installing, determine the following:

•Type of chimney connector to be used

·single wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter, stainless steel, or

·double wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter, stainless steel

•Consult pages 32 and 33 for clearances to combustibles

•Power outlet located close by for optional blower

WARNING

Asphyxiation Risk.

•DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

•DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.

May allow fl ue gases to enter the house.

NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the appliance system caused by:

•Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions

•Downdrafts

•Tight sealing construction of the structure

•Mechanical exhausting devices

•Overdrafting caused by excessive chimney heights

•Ideal performance is with height of chimney between 14-16 feet (4.26-4.88m) measured from the base of the appliance.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any responsibility for, and the warranty will be voided by, the following actions:

•Installation and use of any damaged appliance.

•Modifi cation of the appliance.

•Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home Technologies.

•Installation and/or use of any component part not approved by Hearth & Home Technologies.

•Operating appliance without fully assembling all components.

•Operating appliance without legs attached (if supplied with unit).

•Do NOT Overfi re - If appliance or chimney connector glows, you are overfi ring.

Any such action that may cause a fi re hazard.
