ROOM HEATER FEATURES
Before attempting to install or operate your heater, it is agood idea to familiarize yourself
with the features and operating controls of the unit.
OPERATING CONTROLS (See Figure 1)
1. Bypass Damper: The bypass damper control is located in the top center of the heater
front, just under the top.
It is operated by pushing or pulling the rod with the removable
tlandle. The damper
is fully open when the handle is pushed in and fully closed when
it is pulled out. The damper must be opened before the door(s) are opened.
2. Removable Door Handle: The removable door handle is located on the inside of the
ash pan/motor cover door. The handle is held
in place with amagnet or clip. To use,
simply open the cover door and obtain the handle and use it
to adjust the bypass damper
or
to open and close the door(s).
3. Blower Control: Two blower control switches are located under the hearth and behind
the cover door. The left switch
is used to engage or disengage the automatic thermostat
operation. Place in
"Auto" for thermostat operation or place in "Manual" to operate the
blower continuously.
In the "Auto" position, the thermostat in the unit reacts to the
temperature of the heater and switches
on or off automatically depending on heater
temperature. The right switch allows the heater blower to
be adjusted to the proper speed
to match the heat output of the unit.
4. Primary Air Controls: The primary air intake draft controls are located on the lower
portion of the unit next to the hearth extension. They are operated
by moving up to open
and down to close the amount of primary air entering the firebox.
5. Warm Air Outlets: Provides heat extraction from the top and sides of the firebox.
6. Baffles: Directs air flow around the unit for maximum heat transfer.
7. Air Inlet: Allows cool air near the floor to be circulated ttHough the blower and back into
the warm air chamber of the heater.
8. Stand: Elevates heater above the floor for safety and aneat appearance.
9. Door(s): Provides an "airtight" feature. The door(s) allow amuch higher burning
efficiency than can be obtained with
an open firebox.
10. Hearth Extension: Offers protection from spilled ashes and cinders.
11. Power Cord: Provides electrical power to operate the blower.
12. Chimney Connector: Used to connect unit to chimney or direct connect kit.
13. Cover Door: Conceals blower, blower controls and ash pan and provides for removable
handle mounting.
14. Catalysts: Enables the unit to burn cleanly and efficiently.
15. Temperature Monitor locations: Two locations are provided. One is located in the
top of the stove and can
be used when the heater is installed as afreestanding heater.
The other location can be used for either afireplace insert or freestanding installation but
the use of the New Buck Corp. Electronic Digital Temperature Monitor must be used.
16. Airwash: Primary air is preheated in internal chambers and is directed in such away
as to provide a
"sweeping" airwash over the glass to keep it clean. This design also
allows higher burning efficiencies in the firebox.
17. Ashpan: Provides for easy ash removal.
18. Outside Air Control: Allows for adjustment of the amount of outside air entering the
unit (installations using outside air kits
II P3, P3B, P5, or P5B.)

EPA COMPLIANCE STATUS
This manual describes the installation and operation ofthe New Buck Corporation, Model
41 and Model 50 wood heater. These healers meet the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's Emission limits for wood heaters sold after July 1, 1992. Under specific test con-
ditions these heaters have been stlown to deliver heat at rates ranging from 6,900 to 27,800
Btu/hI' for the Model 41 and 10,100 to 38,000 Btu/hr. for the Model 50.
CATALYST EQUIPPED
This wood heater contains acatalytic combustor, which needs periodic inspection and
replacement for proper operation. It is against the law to operate this wood heater
in a
manner inconsistent with operating instructions
in this manual, or if the catalytic element
is deactivated or removed.
CA T AL YST WARRANTY
The combustor supplied with this heater is aset (2) 01 corning 2" x 2" x 7" x 25" cell
long life combustors. Consult the catalytic combustor warranty also supplied with this wood
heater. Warranty claims should be addressed to:
Corning Glass Works/Warranty Claim Department
Electronic Materials Plant -ADock
Addison Road
Painted Post, NY
14870
See enclosed catalyst warranty 101' instruction on proper packaging for return shipment.
PROPER FUEL SELECTION
'Trash
'Solvents
*Colored Paper
*Garbage
'Cardboard
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions
generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods,
as compared to softwoods
or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
DO NOT BURN:
'Treated Wood
'Coal
Burning treated wood, garbage, solvents, colored paper or trash may result in release of
toxic fumes and may poison or render ineffective the catalytic combustor.
Burning coal, cardboard, or loose paper can produce soot, or large flakes of char or fly
ash that can coat the combustor, causing smoke spillage into the room and rendering the
combustor ineffective.
ACHIEVING CA TAL YTIC LIGHTOFF
The temperature in the stove and the gases entering the combustor must be raised to be-
tween 500 deg. Fto 700 deg. Ffor catalytic activity to be initiated. During the start up of
acold stove amedium to high firing rate must be maintained for about
20 minutes. This
ensures that the stove, catalyst, and fuel
are all stabilized at proper operating temperatures.
Even
HlOUgtl it is possible to have gas temperatures reach 600 deg. Fwithin two to three
minutes after afire is started, if the
1ire is alfowed to die down immediatefy it may go out
or the combustor may stop working. Once the combustor starts working, heat generated
in it by burning the smoke will keep it working.
Page 4

ACHIEVING CATALYTIC LIGHTOFF-
WHEN REFUELING
During the refueling and rekindling of acool fire, or afire that has burned down to the char-
coal phase, operate the stove at amedium to high firing rate for about 10 minutes to ensure
that the catalyst reaches approximately 600 deg.
F.
CATALYST MONITORING
It is important to periodically monitor the operation of the catalytic combustor to ensure
that it is functioning properly and to determine when it needs to be replaced. Anon·
functioning combustor will result in aloss of heating efficiency, and an increase in creosote
and emissions. Following is alist of items that should be checked on aperiodic basis.
'Combustors should be visually inspected at least three times during the heating season
to determine if physical degradation has occurred. Actual removal of the combustor is not
recommended unless more detailed inspection is warranted because of decrease in per-
formance. If any of these conditions exist, refer
to Catalyst Troubleshooting section of the
owner's manual.
'This catalytic heater is equipped with the means to install atemperature probe to monitor
catalyst operation. Properly functioning combustors typically maintain temperatures in ex-
cess of 1000 deg. F. If catalyst temperatures are not in excess of 500 deg. F, refer to Catalyst
Troubleshooting section of this owner's manual.
You can get an indication of whether the
catalyst is working by comparing the amount of smoke leaving the chimney when the smoke
is going through the combustor and catalyst light-off has been achieved to the amount of
smoke leaving the chimney when the smoke is not routed through the combustor (bypass
mode).
Step 1-Light stove in accordance with instructions,
Step 2-With smoke routed through the catalyst, go outside and observe the
emissior,s leaving the chimney.
Step 3-Engage the bypass mechanism and again observe the emissions leaving
the chimney.
Significantly more smoke should be seen when the exhaust
is not routed through the com·
bustor (bypass mode). Be careful not to confuse smoke with steam from wet wood.
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result
in permanent damage to the heater and to the catalytic combustor.
MAINTAIN PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through 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 and may damage the catalytic combustor. Inadequate draft may cause backpuff-
ing into the room and
"plugging" of the chimney or the catalyst.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance
to leak smoke into the room through appliance
and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or aglowing red stove part or chimney connector inclicates excessive
draft.
Page 5

ASH REMOVAL
Whenever ashes build up in the firebox and when the fire has burned down and cooled,
remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1inch deep on the firebox bottom
to help maintain ahot charcoal bed.
Ashes should be placed
in ametal container with atight mUng lid. The closed container
of ashes should be placed
on anoncombustible floor or on the ground, away from all com·
bustible materials, pending final disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed can·
tainer until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

A INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Extensive fierd and laboratory testing has shown that catalytic stoves perform best as
fireplace inserts when:
1. Apositive sealing direct connect kit is used to connect the stove exhaust outlet
directly to the masonry flue of the fireplace when flue liner size is approximately the
same size
as the heater flue gas exit. Arain cap is also recommended to keep flue dry
thus allowing ahotter draft.
NFPA 211 Code: The National Fire Protection Association code requires all fireplace
insert heaters to be positively connected from the heater to the flue liner.
2.
An equivalent sized oval flue liner is installed when the flue liner size is larger than
the heater flue gas exit. Connection must be from stove exhaust outlet extending the
full height of the chimney and must include arain cap.
3. Height of the chimney is at least 15 feet tall.
4. Location of chimney is interior (not on an outside wall).
Satisfactory results have been reported with installations other than
as listed above.
However,
as all chimneys draw differently, problems with performance may be encountered
if steps are not taken to keep the chimney hot. Adraft between .03 and ,06 inches of water
is recommended for proper catalytic operation.
Use
Ole following to complete the installation of the unit as an insert:
Model 41: #FP41 (goldenfire) or tlFP41 B(charcoal)
Model 50: flFP50 (goldenfire) or #FP50B (charcoal)
Page 7

SECTION II:INSTALLATION (Fireplace Insert)
Figure 2FIREPLACE INSERT
Minimum Clearances:
The Model 41 and 50 Fireplace Inserts are intended for installation in accordance with the
standard for chimneys, fireplaces, vents, and solid-fuel burning appliances, NFPA-211 Code.
This model is not intended for installation into factory-built metal fireplaces or for use with
ametal chimney.
1. The hearth must be of masonry construction and must extend a minimum of 16" in
front of the firebox opening and a minimum of 8" to either side of tbe firebox opening.
2. If there is not 16" from the front of the firebox opening and the front of the masonry
hearth, afloor protector
must be used in front of the hearth to protect combustible
materials.
2" of brick, alisted "floor protector" or afloor protector made of non-
combustible, inorganic material with a
"K" factor may be used as follows:
K=2.5 BTU/((HR) (FP) (OF/IN))
ALTERNATE FLOOR PROTECTORS MATERIALS
With the floor protector or hearth extension material specified as one layer of 2" thick brick
with aK*factor of 5.0, you may use alternate materials as long as the Kfactor(s) is calculated
as follows:
Formula: Required thickness := (K of aiternate material/K of millboard) X(thickness
of millboard)
Example: An alternate inorganic non-combustible millboard with a K of .9375 would
require athickness as follows:
Required thickness =(.9375/5.0) x 2 in.
== 3/8 inch
Page 8

K Factors of Alternate Materials:
Material K Required Thickness
Coroform 126 .21 1/8"
limestone 8.0 3.2"
Concrete 8.0 3.2"
Sandstone 13.0 5.2"
Marble 18.0 7.2"
Hearth extension or floor protector thicknesses above four (4) inches are generally not ac-
ceptable due to cost, floor load capacity, and look. The alternate we recommend is using
ceroform No. 126 millboard
1/8" thick minimum and putting any type decorative brick or
stone (any thickness) on top of it.
*The "K" factor represents the thermal conductivity of amaterial and is the time rate of
heat flow through ahomogeneous material under steady-state conditions, through unit area,
per unit temperature gradient in the direction perpendicular
to asurface.
3. If your fireplace has wood trim above it, the wood trim must be at least 8" above the
top of the unit and may be amaximum of
1/2" thick.
4. If your fireplace has awood mantel, the mantel or mantel supports must be located
at aheight greater than 12" above the top of the unit.

5. Check the chimney and smoke chamber for excessive buildups of creosote or
soot. Also, check for obstructions, such
as birds' nest. ff the chimney is excessively
dirty, clean it, or tlave someone clean it professfonally BEFORE installing or using
the room heater.
6. If the fireplace has an ash
dump or outside air provision, these must be sealed off
with metal or tightly packed non-cornbustible insulation to prevent this cold air from
entering the fireplace chamber.
Heater Preparation
1. Remove the protective plastic wrapping from the stove.
2. Inspect the unit for any obvious physical damage.
3. Plug the power cord into a115 VAC outlet to test the motor and fan. Place the blower
control in the
"MANUAL" position to test.
4.
Check the primary air draft controls to ensure that they slide freely.
5. Check the operations of the
damper control to ensure that it will open and close
properly.
INSTALLATION Procedure (Use aListed Direct or Positive Connect)
POSITIONING THE HEATER
When positioning the heater, the
following conditions MUST be
met! (See Figure
3)
1. The front of the damper open-
ing must be positioned BEHIND
the rear edge of the lintel to
ensure proper draft.
(See Figure 3)
2. The vertical plane of the fire-
place front must fall BEHIND
the side cold air vent on top of
the unit. (In other word
s, it is
possible to have the heater too
far in
as well as not far enough)
3. Center the heater in the fire-
place opening.

POSITIONING MOUNTING THE TRIM PANELS
After the unit is positioned, as
shown in Figure
3, mark the
mounting position of the trim
panels as follows:
1. Set the top (long) trim panel in
place on top of the unit. The
panel should be flat against the
outside face of the fireplace,
and standing vertically. Mark
along the lower edge of the trim
panel with apencil to make a
reference line for mounting.
2. Set the side trim panels in
place, again flat against the
face of the fireplace. Mark
down the inside edge of the trim
panel to make a vertical
reference line.
FIGURE 4MOUNTING TRIM PANELS
Page 10

3. Slide the unit out of the fireplace far enough to work behind the trim parel reference
lines.
4. CAUTION: If optional fireplace trim kit brass will be used on the trim panels, set the
trim panels out
5/16" to allow for brass overhang.
5. Mount the side trim panels. (See Figure 4)
a. Position the trim panel on the reference line.
b. Drill
Mounting Holes in center of trim panels mounting brackets to allow for
adjustment in and out if necessary.
c.
Mount the trim panel using the self-tapping screws provided.
6.
Mount top tfim panel to side panels with screws provided as indicated in Figure 4.
7. If desired obtain optional brass trim from box and assemble using an "ell" bracket in each
corner where the top and side trim joins. Tighten set screws joining trim together.
8. Next slip the brass
trim over the top edge of the trim panels and slide all the way
down until sides
and tops interlock. Obtain screws provided and lock brass trim in place.
(See
Figure 5).
9. Slide the
unit back into the fireplace. Checl< to be sure that the trim panels (and brass)
are properly positioned and lie flat against the front of the fireplace. If one or more of the
panels is out of position, slide the unit out and reset by loosening the mounting screws
and repositioning in the slot. (See Figure 6).
FIGURE 5Securing Panels and
Brass Trim FIGURE 6
10. Pull the unit back out of the fireplace and remove the brass and top trim panel to facilitate
the installation of
the direct connect or positive connect.
11. Now, follow
tt1e installation procedures in the listed direct or positive connect kit you
are
using and install the heater and connector kit in the fireplace.
12. Reinstan the top trim panel.
13. Obtain the brass trim and slip over
1t1e top and sides. You will have to spread out the
side brass pieces and raise the brass approximately 8-10 inches above the top of the
trim panel before the brass will go on.
14. Using the two brass screws provided, secure the brass to the trim panel at each side.
Page 11

FINAL CHECK
1. Recheck the specified clearances.
2. Remove all foreign material from the firebox area.
3. Open the primary air drafts and damper bypass.
4. Plug the power cord into a 115 VAC outlet.
5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close the doors.
Ensure that the stove draws properly through the primary drafts.
6. Check for smoke leaks around the doors.
7. Open the doors and check for smoke escaping from the front of the stove. Smoking
usually indicates adefective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a
marginal draft can be preheated by lighting newspaper and holding it near the open
damper with apoker or fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, aproper draft can
usually be obtained.
If athorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide
in the rear of the manual does not reveal
the problem, contact your dealer for assistance.
NOTE: The unit is painted with aspecially formulated high temperature paint that cures
during the first two
or three firings. You may notice aslight smoking effect and an odor
of burning paint when you build the first fires. This is normal and is not acause for alarm.
In some cases, these fumes will activate asmoke alarm. Cracking awindow near the unit
will allow these fumes to escape.
DO NOT build alarge, roaring fire until this curing is
complete or the heater finish may be damaged.

AINSTALLATION PRECAUTION
Extensive field and laboratory testing has shown that catalytic stoves perform best as
freestanding stoves when vented into amasonry chimney when:
1. Arain cap is installed on the chimney.
2. Height of chimney is at least 15 feet tall.
3. Location of chimney is interior (not on an outside wall).
4. In ahigh pitch or chalet ceiling, use aminimum amount of single wall pipe but never
run more than five (5) feet. Long lengths of single wall pipe will result in rapid cooling
of the flue gas
and heater draft and performance will be affected.
NOTE: Certain types of double wall pipe (close clearance) also cause asubstantial drop
in flue gas temperature. If a double wall pipe connector is being contemplated, check with
the pipe manufacturer
to ascertain that the use of their product will not affect the flue gas
temperature Do not use double wall pipes which reduce flue gas temperatures.
Satisfactory results have been reported with installations other Ulan listed above. However,
draft problems are possible if ahot chimney is not maintained.
