WARNING
H3.2
• THIS APPLIANCE IS HOT WHEN OPERATED AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS IF CONTACTED.
• Do not operate appliance before reading and understanding operating instructions. Failure to operate appliance
according to operating instructions could cause fire or injury.
• Risk of burns. The appliance should be turned off and cooled before servicing.
• Do not operate without fully assembling all components.
• Do not install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.
• Risk of cuts and abrasions. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal edges
may be sharp.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers,
young children and others may be susceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recommended if
there are at risk individuals in the house. To restrict access to an appliance or stove, install an adjustable safety
gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.
• Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
• Ensure you have incorporated adequate safety measure to protect infants/toddlers from touching hot surfaces.
• Even after the appliance is out, the glass and/or screen will remain hot for an extended period of time.
• Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety screens and hearth guards to protect children from hot
surfaces. These screens and guards must be fastened to the floor.
• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
• It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and circulating blower and its passageway in the appli-
ance and venting system are kept clean. The appliance and its venting system should be inspected before use
and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. The appliance area must be kept clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under
water.
• Do not operate the appliance with the glass door removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass
should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
• Do not strike or slam shut the appliance glass door.
• Only doors / optional fronts certified with the unit are to be installed on the appliance.
• Keep the packaging material out of reach of children and dispose of the material in a safe manner. As with all
plastic bags, these are not toys and should be kept away from children and infants.
• If the appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. Do not expose the appliance to the elements
(ex. rain, etc.) and keep the appliance dry at all times. Wet insulation will produce an odour when the appliance
is used.
• The chimney must be sound and free of cracks. Clean your chimney a minimum of twice a year and as re-
quired.
• The appliance is designed to burn natural wood only. Do not burn treated wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper,
cardboard, solvents or garbage. This appliance has not been tested with an unvented gas log set. To reduce
risk of fire or injury, do not install an unvented gas log set into the appliance.
• Do not start a fire with chemicals or fluids such as gasoline, engine oil, etc.
• Operate only with the doors tightly closed.
• Do not let the appliance become hot enough for any part to glow red.
• Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as com-
pared to softwoods or too green or freshly cut hardwoods. Burning wet unseasoned wood can cause excessive
creosote accumulation. When ignited it can cause a chimney fire that may result in a serious house fire.
• Do not use elevated grate or otherwise raise the fire.
• Do not store the wood within appliance installation clearances or within the space required for re-fueling and
ash removal.
• Your appliance requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Failure to maintain your appliance may lead to
smoke spillage in your home.

4.6 MOUNTING PRIMARY AIR CONTROL
Location of the Primary Air Control in left and right RA.
IMPORTANT:
This step must follow the plenum installation in Section 6.0. The plenum is not shown in diagrams below, for
clarity purposes.
1. Attach Vertical Guide Bracket (VGB) to the Top of the rear air supply chamber.
a. Centre the VGB around the control rod opening as per diagram and position the two vertical fingers of
the VGB so the bend in these fingers are flush with the back side of the shutter plate.
b. Locate VGB on screws inserted in the predrilled holes of the rear air supply chamber, as per diagrams.
DO NOT TIGHTEN SCREWS SO BRACKET CAN BE ADJUSTED.
c. With shutter plate pushed towards the front of the furnace in the air damper assembly slot, and the base
of the VGB held firmly down on the top of the air supply chamber, position the bend in the vertical fingers
so there is a 0” to 1/32” gap between the back of the shutter plate and the bend in the vertical fingers.

4.7 SECONDARY AIR TUBES
STEP #1
○Insert the next tube in the rear most hole in the left side manifold, as illustrated in “A”.
○Slide the tube towards the right side of firebox, into the opposit hole, as illustrated in “B”.
Main air control
box is secured
with (3) screws
into the rear
panel and (1)
through the
inside flange of
the main box
and into the
furnace top.
NOTE
The holes in
the tubes must

"A"
2. Assemble the control box as illustrated using the fasteners supplied.
3. Check manual override operation of the shutter plate by sliding the primary damper lever up and down
at the front of the Top Damper Bracket. Again the shutter shall move up and down freely and the shutter
should readily return to the closed position under gravity.
4. Connect electrical control circuit and ensure shutter moves freely (open and close) when the wood thermo-
stat cycles on and off for heat demand.
The rear most secondary air tubes have been factory installed. The remaining three secondary air tubes in
conjunction with the compressed vermiculite baffles will need to be installed as follows:
NOTE
The front 3 secondary tubes on the CHMF200 have larger holes than the rear 2.
NOTE
The keyway in the secondary tube must align with the keyed part of the acceptance hole in the right hand
side secondary manifold.

STEP #3
○Carefully pivot the compressed vermiculite baffles up onto the rear secondary air tubes as illustrated. En-
sure that the top baffles are pushed all the way to the rear of the firebox overlapping the rear bricks, leav-
ing a minimum 2.75" (70mm) (CHMF150) / 4.75" (121mm) (CHMF200) gap along the front. This will allow
the flue gases to escape the firebox. Spread the baffles tight to each side to ensure there are not gaps, as
illustrated.
