This fireplace is not intended to be used as -a sub- stitute for a furnace to Beat an entire home. Use for supplemental heat only. Overliring of a fireplace is a condition where exces- sive temperatures are reached, beyond the design capabilities of the appliance. The damage that occurs from overfiring is not covered underthe manufacturer's limited warranty. SuperiorFireplaces.us.com _. . 126631-01_H SAFETY -Continued A WARNING: CONTINUED OVERFIRING CAN PER- MANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR FIREPLACE SYSTEM. SOME EXAMPLES OF CONDITIONS THAT COULD CAUSE OVERFIRING ARE: • BURNING QUANTITIES OFSCRAPLUMBER, PINE BRANCHES, PAPER OR CARDBOARD BOXES WHICH EXCEED THE VOLUME OF THE NORMAL LOG FIRE. • BURNING TRASH CHEMICALS OR CHEMICALLY TREATED COMBU§TIBLES. 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 cinders have thoroughly cooled. WHEN USING THE DECORATIVE APPLIANCE, THE FIREPLACE DAMPER MUST BE SET IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION: Never use gasoline, gasoline -type lantern fuel, kero- sene, charcoal lighter fluid, oe similar liquids to start or 'freshen up' a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such liquids well away from the fireplace while it is in use. Use SOLID WOOD only, for fuel. It is best to use*y and well seasoned hardwood. Sottwoodstend to burn veryquickly. DO NOT usetreatedwood,char coal, coal, trash, driftwood orwoodsthat have been dipped in tar, pitch, pine tar, creosote, etc. Wood products made with synthetic binders, such as plywood,produce ab- normally high temperatures and sputtering, smoking fires. When burning artificial logs, please read and followthe instructions provided bythe manufacturer. Never burn treated construction lumber or scraps. These woods burn excessively hot and.may contain chemicals used to treat insects and fungus. When burned, these chemicals can pose a significant hazard, IMPORTANT: See appendix A, page 21 foradditional information regarding draft requirements, smoking causes and troubleshooting. A WARNING: BURNING IMPROPER FUEL (I.E. CHARCOAL)' CAN RESULT -IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING; WHICH MAY LEAD TO DEATH! Carbon Monoxide Poisoning — Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, get fresh air at once! Have the appliance inspected by a qualified service technician. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide.. than others. These include pregnant women, people with,heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the influence of al- cohol, and those at high,altitudes. Ventilation Requirements = Provide adequate air for combustion. The fresh air requirements of this'ap- plianee must be met within the space where it will be installed. 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 bythe appliance). Ifyour 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 department for requirements in your area: Creosote — Formation and Need for -Removal Whenwood is hurned slowly, it produces tar and other orgamcvapors, 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. The chimney. shall be inspected at least twice a year during the heating season to determine when a creosote buildup has occurred. When creosote has accumulated (1/8" [3 mni] or more) itshall be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. 126631-'01-H SuperiorFireplaces.us.com SPECIFICATIONS 1° (26 mm) AIRSPACE TO COMBUSTIBLE , 0° (O mm) GAS LINE TO TOP KNOCK OUT RIGHT SIDE SPACERS ; NO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL ON FACE, 81(210 mm) 1/40 COMBUSTIBLE WALL BOARD (178 mm) a/a (19 mm).

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM Each double wall chimney section consists of a galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel inner flue pipe and awire spacer. Pipe sections must be assembled independently as chimney is installed. When connecting chimney directly to fireplace, inner flue pipe section must be installed first with lanced side up. Outer pipe section can then be installed over flue pipe section with hemmed end up. Press down on each pipe section until lances securely engage hem on fireplace starter. Wire will assure proper spacing between inner and outer pipe sections. Note: For Canada, use chimney parts designated HT. 0 Opening in collar around chimney at top of fireplace must not be obstructed. Never use blown insulation to fill chimney enclosure. Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined, making sure that both inner and outer pipe sections are locked together. When installing double wall snap -lack chimney together, it is important to assure joint between chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling chimney upward after locking. Chimney will not come apart if properly locked. It is not necessary to add screws to keep chimney together (exception - see Figure 11, page 9). The height of avertical chimney pipe supported ONLYbythe fireplace, must not exceed 20 feet. Chimney heights above 20 feet must be supported. USING ELBOW OFFSETS (30E-8DM) 1. To achieve desired offset, you may install combinations of 120 , 180, 240, 36° and 48" length of double wall pipe (see offset chart, page 9, and Figure 9, page 8). Note: For systemswith 2 elbowsets, minimum height is 22 feet. Maximum height for any system is 50 feet. 2. Chimney weight above offset rests on return elbow. Straps must be securely nailed to rafters or joists (see Figure 10, details A and B, page 8). 3. Maximum length of pipe between supports (return elbow or12S- 8DM) is 6'. of angle run. Maximum of two 6' angle run sections per chimney system (see Figure 9, page 9). 4. All pipe connections between offset and return must be secured with two screws on outer pipe only (see Figure 11, page 10). Do not penetrate inner stainless.

Their purpose is to establish and maintain required clearance between chimney and combustible materials. When pipe passes through a framed opening into a living space above, firestop must be placed onto ceiling from below as shown in Figure 12. They also provide complete separation from one floor space to an- other or attic space as required by most codes. When double wall pipe passes through a framed opening into an attic space, firestop must be placed Into an attic floor as shown in Figure 13. If area above is a living space, install Firestop below framed hole. Figure 12 - Firestop Spacer with Living Space Above Ceiling If area above is an attic or insulated area, install firestop above framed hole. Figure 13 - Firestop Spacer with Attic Space Above Ceiling IMPORTANT NOTICE When penetrating a ceiling into an attic, a Firestop thimble (38FST or FST30) is required to avoid intrusion by insulation and recommended to negotiate a joist (see Figure 13a). Thimble f38FST or FST30 Fr top Figure 13a - Firestop Thimble PENETRATING ROOF To maintain al" clearance to pipe'On a roof with a pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut. 1. Determine center point where pipe will penetrate the roof. 2. Determine center pointof the roof. Pitch isthe distancethe roof drops overa given span, usually 12°. A 6112 pitch meansthatthe roof drops 6" for each 12" measure horizontally down from roof rafters. 3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 14, page 11) to determine correct opening length and flashing required. 4. Remove shingles around opening measured. Cut outthis section. 5. Add next sections of pipe until end penetrates roof line. Check to see that proper clearances are maintained. Extend chimney by add- ing sections of double wall pipe until pipe is minimum of 30' above highest point of roof cutout. Termination and chimney must extend a minimum of 36' above highest pointwhere it passes through roof. 110 SuperiorFireplaces.us.com 126631-01_H • VENTING INSTALLATION Continued Minimum Measurements 14 3/a" (48.3 cm) 1" 2.54 (cm) ri 1" cm) 30" (76.2 cm) 1" VIM Pitch Slope Opening "AnI Max.

When fireplace is in operation, doors must be fully opened or fully closed position only or a fire hazard may be created (see Figure 23). A fireplace equipped with glass doors operates much differentlythan a fireplace with an open front. A fireplace with glass doors has a limited amount ofairforcombustion. Excessive heatwithin fireplace can result if too large a fire is built or if combustion air gate is not completely open. The following tips should be used to assure that both fireplace and glass door retain their beauty and function properly. Both the flue damper and glass doors must be fully opened before starting a fire. This will provide sufficient combustion air and,maintain safe temperatures in firebox. IMPORTANT The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly. Tempered glass will withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550. F, which is more than a normal fire will generate; Such materials as pitch/wax laden logs, very dry mill end lumber and large amounts of paper or cardboard boxes can create an excessively hot fire and should not be burned in this fireplace. Always keep fire back from doors and never allow flames to contact glass. A WARNING: FIREPLACES EQUIPPED WITH DOORS SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH DOORS FULLY OPEN OR DOORS FULLY CLOSED. IF DOORS ARE LEFT PARTLY OPEN,,GAS AND FLAME MAY BE DRAWN OUT'OF THE FIREPLACE OPENING, CREAT- ING RISKS OF BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE. A WARNING: Discontinue use -of the appliance immediately if doors are damaged and 'contact a qualified installer for repair.. Only doors certified with the appliance shall be used. ® WARNING: Do not slam or strike doors. Damage can result in.a hazardous condition.

It is important to match the wood -burning appliance to the chimney. The.chimney has two functions: 1. It draws combustion air into the appliance (without air, no fuel will burn) and 2. It exhausts combustion by-products. Your new appliance is what is known as a "natural draft" appliance. The appliance depends solely on the natural draft of the chimney system to draw combustion air into the unit. Draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up into the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance (overfiring). Slow or inadequate draft equals poor combustion and possible smoking problems. The following are some conditions'that may contribute to poor chimney draft: 1. A chimney too large for 'your appliance. ' 2. A chimney with not enough height to produce adequate draft. 3. A chimney with excessive height (this may allow exhaust to cool too much before exiting, which will stall the ratethe exhaust exits). 4. Offsets in the venting.system are too.restrictive` (see Chimney Guidelines). Inadequate draftwill cause the appliance to leaksmoke into the room throughthewood-burning applianceand the chimneyconnectorjoints. Excessive draft may cause an uncontrollable burn or a glowing red appliance or chimney part... I. , 11 Overtiring Damage - If the appliance.orchimney connector glows, you are overfiring. Other symptoms may include: Cracking, warping or burning out of components, plated accessories may turn color, appliance glass may develop a haze, which will not come off with cleaning. - . . .. Overfiring of a appliance is a condition'Where excessive'tempera- tures are reached, beyond the design capabilities of the appliance. The damage that occurs from overfiring is not covered under the manufacturer's limited warranty. . .I , I I Also see Troubleshooting'on Page 22.� •• Selecting the Proper Venting"System The appliance is merely," one, component'Of a•larger.system. The take into account all variables within the installation and install the appliance,in such a manner that satisfies the draft requirements of the appliance. See Chimney Guidelines to assist you,in selecting the proper venting system for your Installation. American National Standards Institute ANSUNFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel -Burning Appli- ances - See Draft Section: A chimney grvent shall be so designed and constructed 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. Chimney Guidelines: in well Insulated and weather tight homes, ft may be difficult to establish a good draft up'yourchimney. The poor draft is caused by a shortage of air in the house:- In this situation an'Outside Air Kit may, need to be installed (See Negative Pressure Warning be-' low and Outside Combustion Air in the Installation and Operation manual). Negative Pressure.Warning I These appliances are not. designed to be operated in a negative pressure. In very airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust fans, furnace cold air returns, fresh air exchange systems and any other aVsystem in close proximity to the heating appliance may create a negative pressure inthesameroom asthe heating appliance.This can create dangerous back drafting of the appliance and chimney joints, drawing combustion by-products into the home. Be sure your home has adequate makeup air to eliminate.negative pressures caused by theabove-mentioned sources. outside air connected to the appliance probably will not resolve such a problem -as the appliance is not the source -of negative pressure. IHP accepts no liability for damages resulting.from negative pressures described here.. Ventilation Requirements Provide adequate air for combustion. The fresh air requirements of this appliance must be, met within the space wheie it will be Installed: Ventilation is essential when using a solid -fuel -burning appliance. 'In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may be difficult to establish a good draft'up the chimney (caused by a shortage of air in the home). The lack of air is caused by many common household appliances which exhaust air from the home (such as a furnace, heat pump, air conditioner, clothes dryer, exhaust fans, fireplaces, and otherfuel burning appliances). Also, the combustion,pFocess of this appliance uses oxygen,from inside the dwelling. lithe availablefresh air delivery,inthe 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 appliance can draft thus resulting in performance,problems or. smoking. ,To correct this problem it may help to open a window (preferably on the windward side of the house) or install an' outside air kit. other equally important component is the venting system. This is necessaryforachieving the required flow of combustion airto the fire' chamberand forsafely removing unwanted combustion byproducts from the appliance.-, Iftheventing system's design'doesnotpromotetheseends,thesystem' may not function properly. Poorly functioning venting systems may create performance problems as well as be a safety hazard. A draft test should read greater than.04'W.C.(inches water column)and' s less than .08" W.C. As per NFPA-211 standard, the installer must 126631-01_H Superiorl'ireplaces.us.com 21 APPENDIX A Continued Smoking — Causes And Troubleshooting To reduce the likelihood of smoking when opening the door, open the combustion air control or damper before opening the door. Your appliance has been designed and tested to provide smoke free operation. Occasionally, there may be a small amount of smoking upon lighting the fire, until the chimney heats up but this should not continue. If the appliance continues to smoke it is probably for one of the following reasons: A. Negative pressure in the house - As the fire burns, air goes up the chimney. This air must be replaced through leakage into the house orthrough the outside air duct. When operating the appliance, open a nearby window temporarilyto check if there is adequate replacement air supply. B. Blowers operating (e.g.: range hood) - These blowers draw air out of the house and may actually cause a negative pressure in the house. Turn off all blowers and, open a nearby window to determine if this is the cause of the problem. C. Wetwood -Wet ortarred wood will smoulder and smoke instead of burning properly. Your dealer can help you determine if you have properly seasoned wood for burning. D. Dirty or blocked chimney - Check to make sure the chimney is clear and clean. If dirty call a certified chimney sweep or use a properly sized chimney brush to clean. E. Chimney not long enough - The minimum chimney height is twelve (12) feet (3.7 m) not including the appliance height. The chimney must extend at least three (3) feet (915 mm) above its point of contact with the roof and at least two (2) feet (610 mm) higher than any roof or wall within ten (10) feet (3 m) of it. When installed with offsets, the minimum -chimney height is fifteen (15) feet. Additional height will increase draft and will decrease the tendency to smoke. F. Poor chimney draft -With no fire, there should besufficientdraft to exhaustclgarette smoke introduced underthe baffle orflue baffle. Chimneys installed against an outside wall without protection may generate back draft problems which will cause start-up problems. To prevent this, open a nearby window, roll up a piece of paper and light it. Then, hold it in the upper part of the firebox to warm upthechimney. Wait until the draft is sufficient, then start the fire. G. Blower for forced air kit operating (some models) - Make sure that the blower is in the "off' position when you open the appliance door for reloading. Locating The Appliance The best location to install your appliance is determined by consid- ering the location of windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the room where the appliance is located, allowing space in front of the unit for the hearth extension and the mantel, and taking into consideration the location of the hot air ducts (some models), outside air kit and chimney. If possible, you'should choose a location wherethe chimneywill pass through the house without cutting floor or roof joists. When selecting the location, the chimney outlet position and the direction of the wind are important factor affecting the chimney per- formance. To allow a maximum draft and to reduce wind turbulence, the chimney must: • Penetrate the highest part of the roof. • Be installed as far as possible of roof offsets, trees or any other obstructions that may cause wind turbulence and back drafts in the chimney. • The leastamount of offsets (elbows) possible. NOTE. Amaximum of 2 offsets is allowed. Prohibited Fuels These appliances are designed to burn natural well -seasoned wood. The wood fuel should be air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods orto green orfreshly cut hardwoods. Burning artificial logs, in some model appliances is allowed (see Installation and Op- eration manual); please read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. DO NOT BURN: • Garbage; • Manure or animal remains; • Lawn clippings or yard waste; • Salt water driftwood or • Materials containing rubber, other previously salt water including tires; saturated materials; • Materials containing plastic; • Unseasoned wood; • Waste petroleum products, • Christmas tree branches; paints or paint thinners, or • Paper products, colored asphalt products; paper, cardboard, plywood, • Materials containing asbestos; or particleboard; • Construction or demolition • Gasoline;. debris; • Naphtha; • Railroad ties or pres- • Engine Oil; sure -treated wood; woods that • Flammable Liquids; have been dipped in tar, pitch,; .•.
