Values are as measured per test method, except for the recommended heating area, firebox volume,
maximum burn time and maximum heat output.
Models CW2100 (CB00027)

Fuel Type Dry Cordwood
Recommended heating area (sq. ft..)1250 to 1,200 ft2(23 to 111 m2)
Overall firebox volume21.1 ft3(0.031 m3)
Loading volume EPA 1.03 ft3(0.0292 m3)
Maximum burn time17 hours
Overall heat output rate (min. to max.)3 4 8,471 BTU/h to 31,700 BTU/h
(2.48 kW to 9.29 kW)
Average overall efficiency3- Dry cordwood 75 % (HHV)580 % (LHV)6
Optimum efficiency782 %
Optimum heat transfert efficiency878 %
Average particulate emissions rate91.5 g/h (EPA / CSA B415.1-10)10
Average CO11 34 g/h
1 Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may vary subject to location in home, chimney draft,heat loss factors, climate, fuel type
and other variables. The recommended heated area for a given appliance is defined by the manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum
acceptable temperature in the designated area in case of a power failure.
2The overall firebox calculation is an approximation and is not intended to be used for loading. This volume includes a buffer zone to allow an easier
fuel insertion, prevent ash spillage and allow the air wash to work properly.
3The maximum heat output (dry cordwood) is based on a loading density varying between 15 lb/ft3 and 20 lb/ft3. Other performances are based
on a fuel load prescribed by the standard. The specified loading density varies between 7 lb/ft³ and 12 lb/ft3. The moisture content is between 19%
and 25%.
4As measured per CSA B415.1-10 stack loss method.
5Higher Heating Value of the fuel.
6Lower Heating Value of the fuel.
7Optimum overall efficiency at a specific burn rate (LHV).
8The optimum heat transfer efficiency is for the low burn rate and represents the appliance's ability to convert the energy contained in the wood
logs into energy transferred to the room in the form of heat and does not take into account the chemical losses during combustion.
9This appliance is officially tested and certified by an independent agency.
10 Tested and certified in compliance with CFR 40 part 60, subpart AAA, section 60.534(a)(1(ii) and ASTM E3053-17 based on the ALT-125 send by EPA

1.4 EPA Loading
The charging methods shown below are those that were used during emissions certification.
1.4.1 Air control
The air control is located above the door. To open the air
control, insert the removable handle onto the air control and
push the air control handle completely to the right (High).
This will increase the burn rate. To close the air control, push
the air control handle completely to the left (Low). This will
decrease the burn rate. Do not leave the handle on the air
control after use, as it will get very hot.
1.4.2 High burn rate (primary air control open)
Open the air control completely. Criss cross 6 kindling wood
pieces in the back of the firebox. Then, place six small pieces
(2”x2”) of wood on the kindling crossing them at the greatest
possible angle. Criss cross ten others kindling wood pieces
on the small pieces of wood. Tie knot with five sheets of paper and place them on top of the
kindling wood. Light up the paper and let the door completely open for two minutes. Close the
door.
When the kindling and the small pieces of wood are almost completely burnt out and it is
possible to break them into pieces, level the coal bed and put four logs in the firebox in an east-
west orientation. Place a medium log (about 4”x4”) in front of the combustion chamber and the
biggest log (about 5”x5”) in the back of the combustion chamber. Place the last two medium
pieces on top of the two others in an orientation that points to the right. Do not leave space
between the pieces. Let the door open ajar at 90° for 5 minutes and close the door.
1.4.3 Medium and low burn rate
On a 2” coal bed that is still red, place five logs of approximatively 4”x4” or 3”x3” with an east-
west orientation. Place two logs on the coal bed with approximatively 4” between them and the
other three on top. There should be air space between each logs and between the logs and the
bricks. Let the door ajar at 90° for 5 minutes and then close the door with the primary air control
fully open. Leave to burn with the primary air control open for approximately 10 minutes and
then close the primary air control completely for the low burn rate and halfway for the medium
burn rate.
WARNING
Before opening the door completely to add
wood to the insert, the fan must be turned OFF
to avoid blowing ash outside the combustion
chamber. Refer to section "5.1 Blower" of the
owner's manual for how to turn OFF the fan.

2. Clearances to Combustible Material
When the insert is installed so that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances
specified, combustible surfaces will not overheat under normal and even abnormal operating
conditions.
NO PART OF THE INSERT MAY BE LOCATED CLOSER TO THE COMBUSTIBLE THAN THE
MINIMUM CLEARANCE FIGURES GIVEN.

Page 13
Product Specification Manual - CW2100
ENGLISH
If the value (D) is negative or zero, additional floor protection in front of the unit is not needed
because the masonry fireplace hearth extension is long enough. If the value (D) is positive, an
additional floor protection in front of the hearth extension at least equivalent to the result (D)
must be added.
2.3 R Value
There are two ways to calculate the R-value of the floor protection. First, by adding the R-values of
materials used, or by the conversion if the K factor and thickness of the floor protection are given.
To calculate the total R value from R values of the materials used, simply add the R-values of
materials. If the result is equal to or greater than the R-value requirements, the combination is
acceptable. R-values of some selected materials are shown below.

Common brick 5.00 0.2
Face brick 9.00 0.11
Marble 14.3 – 20.00 0.07 – 0.05
Ceramic tile 12.5 0.008
Concrete 1.050 0.950
Mineral wool insulation 0.320 3.120
Limestone 6.5 0.153
Ceramic board (Fibremax) 0.450 2.2
Horizontal still air (1/8" thick)18 0.135 0,920**
Exemple:
Required floor protection R of 1.00. Proposed materials: four inches of brick and one inch of
Durock® board:
17 Information as reported by manufacturers and other resources.
18 Horizontal still air can’t be «stack» to accumulate R-values; each layer must be separated with another non-combustible material.

Page 14 Product Specification Manual - CW2100
ENGLISH
Four inches of brick (R = 4 x 0,2 = 0,8) plus 1 inch of Durock® (R = 1 x 0.52 = 0.52).
0.8 + 0.52 = 1.32.
This R value is larger than the required 1.00 and is therefore acceptable.
In the case of a known K and thickness of alternative materials to be used in combination,
convert all K values to R by dividing the thickness of each material by its K value. Add R values
of the proposed materials as shown in the previous example.
Exemple:
K value = 0.75
Thickness = 1
R value = Thickness/K = 1/0.75 = 1.33

3. Installing Options on Your Product and Replacing Parts
3.1 Replacement and Adjustment
3.1.1 Door
Note: The images shown are for guidance only and may be different from your product, but
the assembly remains the same.
In order for the insert to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the
firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically to check for a good seal. The
tightness of the door seal can be verified by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper.
The test must be performed all around the door. If the paper slips out easily anywhere, either
adjust the door or replace the gasket.
3.1.2 Gasket
It is important to replace the gasket with another having the same diameter and density to
maintain a good seal.
1. Remove the door and place it face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or a piece of
carpet.
2. Remove the old gasket from the door. Use a screwdriver to scrape the old gasket adhesive from
the door gasket groove.
3. Apply a bead of approximately 3/16" (5 mm) of high temperature silicone in the door gasket
groove. Starting from the middle, hinges side, press the gasket into the groove. The gasket must
not be stretched during installation.
4. Leave about ½″(10 mm) long of the gasket when cutting and press the end into the groove. Tuck
any loose fibers under the gasket and into the silicone.
5. Close the door. Do not use the insert for 24 hours.

3.1.3 Door Alignment
To align, open the door and loosen the pressures screws located on the lower and upper hinges
of the door using a 3/32” Allen key to free the adjustable hinge rods.
Using a flat screwdriver, turn the adjustable hinge rods in the direction shown to adjust the
doors. Tighten all door hinge pressure screws when they are at the desired positions.
Configurations 1-2-3-4-5-6, show in which direction these act on the adjustment of the door.
