INSTALLATION
Assembling the GloFire 905
1. Open the door and unfasten the wire on the fire fence. It is used to ensure that the
fire glass does not break during transportation.
2. Take the packet containing the spare parts and screws from the ash pan.
3. Fix the flue collar on the outlet which you selected by using the M6*20 flat
crosshead screw. Ensure all seals are secure to prevent air leakage. If you choose
the rear flue outlet, remove the flue cover before fixing the flue collar.
4. Fix the black handle on the stainless steel door catch with the M8*90 bolt.
5. Keep the rest of the screws and Allen wrench for future use.

Floor Protector
If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor, it must be placed on an approved
1” (25mm) non-combustible hearth pad with k = 0.42 (BTU)(in)/(ft2)(hr)(oF). The floor
protector must extend 8” beyond each side of the flue loading and ash removal opening
and 16” to the front.
In a rear vent installation the floor protection must also extend under the stovepipe and
a minimum of 2” (50mm) beyond either side of the pipe.

How to determine if alternate floor protection materials are acceptable.
All floor protection must be non-combustible (i.e., metals, brick, stone, mineral fiber boards,
etc.). Any organic materials (i.e., plastics, wood paper products, etc.) are combustible and
must not be used. The floor protection specified includes some form of thermal designation
such as R-value (thermal resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).
PROCEDURE:
1. Convert specification to R-value:
i. R-value given - no conversion needed.
ii. k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
iii. K-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
iv. r-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R = r x T
2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
i. Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”.
ii. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine overall R-value.
3. If the overall R-value of the system is greater than the R-value of the specified floor
protector, the alternate is acceptable.
EXAMPLE: The specified floor protector should be 3/4-inch thick material with a k-factor of
0.84. The proposed alternate is 4” brick with an r-factor of 0.2 over 1/8” mineral board with a
k-factor of 0.29.
Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value.

Installation Clearances
One of the necessary precautions when installing a wood stove is to leave sufficient
space between the stove and combustible materials or any other material that can catch
fire.
It is extremely important that you respect required installation distances and that you
respect local installation regulations. This is for your safety! The manufacturer is not
responsible for the product, if it is not installed following these recommendations.
These clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood,
fabrics etc.) These surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also include
materials that are behind non-combustible materials. If you are not sure of the
combustible nature of a material, consult your local fire officials.

Chimney connection
The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used to connect the stove to the
chimney. For use with the appliance the chimney connector MUST be 6” in diameter,
with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black steel or 26 gauge blued steel.
Aluminium and galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use with the appliance. These
materials cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire and can give off
toxic fumes when heated.
Do not use the connector pipe as a chimney.
Each chimney connector or stovepipe section must be installed to the stove flue collar
and to each other with the male (crimped) end toward the stove. See fig 5.
Fig. 5
This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the
outside of the pipe or the stovetop. All joints, including the flue collar connection must
be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate.
For the best performance the chimney connector should be as short and direct as
possible, with no more than two 90elbows. The maximum horizontal run is 36” and a
recommended total length of stovepipe should not exceed 10 feet. Always slope
horizontal runs upward ¼” per foot toward the chimney.
No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic or roof space, closet or
other concealed space, or through a floor ceiling. All sections of the chimney connectors
must be accessible for cleaning. Where passage through a wall or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the installation must conform with NFPA 211, and is
also addressed in this manual.

Chimney
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
This room heater must be connected to a 6” factory built UL 103 HT chimney or a code-
approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
Factory Built Chimney
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions
must be followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install
the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, firestops
(where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper
clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. The chimney must be
the required height above the roof or other obstructions for safety and proper draft
operation. See page 8 for chimney termination requirements.

Page 8
Masonry Chimney
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. The vertical
portion of the chimney must comply with NFPA 211 clearances. Make sure there are no
cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney
cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove through
a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed. Refer to
Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs on page 10.

Page 9
Chimney Height
A masonry chimney or a listed factory-build chimney must be the required height above
the roof and any other nearby obstructions. The chimney must be at least 3’(90 cm)
higher than the highest point where it passes through the roof and at least 2’(60 cm)
higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10’(305 cm) of the
chimney, measured horizontally.

Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs
Method A. 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm)
minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The
clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay
Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of
brick masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles. The clay
liner shall run from the brick masonry outer surface to the inner surface of
the chimney flue liner but not past the inner surface. Firmly grout or
cement the clay liner in place to the chimney flue liner.
Method B. 9” (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a
6” (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-built Solid-Pak chimney
section with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, build a wall pass-through
with a minimum 9” (228.6 mm) air space between the outer wall of the
chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet metal supports fastened
securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to maintain the 9” (228.6 mm) air
space. When fastening supports to chimney length, do not penetrate the
chimney liner (the inside wall of the Solid-Pak chimney). The inner end of
the Solid-Pak chimney section shall be flush with the inside of the
masonry chimney flue, and sealed with a non-water soluble refractory
cement. Use this cement to also seal to the brick masonry penetration.
Method C. 6” (152.4 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Starting with a minimum 24 gage (.024” [.61 mm]) 6” (152.4 mm) metal
chimney connector, and a minimum 24 gage ventilated wall thimble which
has two air channels of 1” (25.4 mm) each, construct a wall pass-through.
There shall be a minimum 6” (152.4) mm separation area containing
fiberglass insulation, from the outer surface of the wall thimble to wall
combustibles. Support the wall thimble, and cover its opening with a 24-
gage minimum sheet metal support. Maintain the 6” (152.4 mm) space.
There should also be a support sized to fit and hold the metal chimney
connector. See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on
all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure the metal chimney
connector do not penetrate chimney flue liner.
Method D. 2” (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Start
with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney section at least 12” (304 mm)
long, with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, and an inside diameter of
8” (2 inches [51 mm] larger than the 6” [152.4 mm] chimney connector).
Use this as a pass-through for a minimum 24-gage single wall steel
chimney connector. Keep solid-pak section concentric with and spaced 1”
(25.4 mm) off the chimney connector by way of sheet metal support
plates at both ends of chimney section. Cover opening with and support
chimney section on both sides with 24 gage minimum sheet metal
supports. See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on
all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure chimney flue liner.
NOTES:
1. Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting method B, shall extend in one continuous section through the wall pass-through system
and the chimney wall, to but not past the inner flue liner face.
2. A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor, or ceiling.

Operation
Use clean and dry wood only. Chemical treated wood, painted, varnished etc. or saltwater
driftwood will harm the stove over time. Pile and store wood outdoors under cover. Do not
place or store wood within stove installation clearances or within the space required for
charging and ash removal.
Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar
liquids to start or freshen up a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the
heater while it is in use.
Do not elevate the fire, build wood fire directly on firebox hearth. Light a fire using finely
chopped wood and establish it so that it has plenty of flames. When the firebox is loaded,
close the door. This will avoid having smoke come into the room.
Do not tamper with or use the spin draft air control in the fuel loading door, using this control
will cause an overfiring condition.
WARNING: Do not overfire. If the stovetop or chimney connector pipe glow red, you are
overfiring.

Page 12
Maintenance
The GloFire 905 requires little maintenance, however the flue should be periodically checked
for cleaning. The glass on the door can be cleaned with glass cleaner. You can also use a
damp cloth and ash. Do not use a cleaner that contains caustic and/or abrasive cleaners.
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.
Creosote - Formation and need for removal. When wood is burned slowly, it produces
tar and other organic vapors, 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 connector and chimney should be inspected at least every two months during
the heating season to determine if creosote buildup has occurred.
If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
