anindustrialodortherstfewres.Thisisconsidered
normal.
• Use well-seasoned wood.
• Place crumpled or twisted paper under the replace
grate.
• Looselyarrangekindlingorsmallpiecesofwoodtoform
a‘tent’onthereplacegrate.
• Pre-warm the ue to establish a draft to help reduce
smokespillageduringstart-up.Holdarolleduppieceof
burningnewspaperundertheueforafewmoments.
• Lightthecrumpledpapertoignitethekindling.
• Add small pieces of wood until a hot bed of embers has
been established.
• Add a minimum of three average size pieces of split
rewood, placed to allow combustion air and ames
between them.
C. Starting a Fire
NOTICE: You must establish a good draft to prevent smoke
spillage into the room.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Keep combustible materials,
gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids clear of
the replace.
DO NOT:
• store ammable materials close to the replace
• use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter
uid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a re in this
replace.
Keep all ammable liquids well away from the replace while
it is in use. Combustible materials may ignite.
B. Seasoned Wood
Properly seasoned wood is important for successful op-
erationofyourreplace.Mostwoodburningreplaceprob-
lems are caused by burning wet, unseasoned wood.
Seasonedrewoodiswoodthatiscuttosize,splitandair
driedtoamoisturecontentofaround20%.
Imagineawoodenbucketthatweighsabouteightpounds.
Fillitwithagallonofwater,putitinthereplaceandtryto
burn it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly what you
are doing if you burn unseasoned wood.
Atreecutdownayearagoandnotsplitislikelytohave
almost as high a moisture content now as it did when it
was cut.
Please refer to Section 2.L for more detail.
CAUTION! Odors and vapors released during initial
operation may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
D. Grate
Thisreplaceisdesignedtobeusedwiththe gratesup-
plied with this unit or one approved by HHT. The grate will
break down over time and will need occasional replace-
ment.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use only the factory-supplied
integral grate.
• Keeps logs in place.
• Allows proper air circulation around the re.
E. Firescreen
Therescreenisprovidedtocontrolsparks.Keepit
closedwhenthereplaceisinuse.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns!
• Screen will not prevent burning materials from falling
out.
• Screen pulls or handles may be hot.
F. Refractory
• The refractory is supplied to contain heat and provide
an attractive interior.
• Itwill breakdownover timeand will needoccasional
replacement.Smallhairlinecracksanddiscolorationare
normalanddonota󰀨ectitssafety.

L. Wood Fuel
Hardwood vs Softwood
Yourreplaceperformancedependsonthequalityofthe
rewoodyouuse.
• Seasonedwoodcontainsabout8,000BTUsperpound
.
• Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.
• Hardwoodscontain60%moreBTUsthansoftwoods.
• Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower
and are harder to ignite.
• Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are
easier to ignite.
• Starttherewithsoftwoodtobringthereplaceupto
operating temperature and to establish draft.
• Add hard wood for slow, even heat and longer burn
time.
Themajorityoftheproblemsreplaceownersexperience
are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.
• Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate
the water instead of heating your home, and
• Evaporating moisture cools your chimney, accelerating
formation of creosote.
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
• DO NOT burn wet or green wood.
• Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of
creosote.

Storing Wood
Steps to ensure properly seasoned wood:
• Stackwoodtoallowairtocirculatefreelyaroundand
through woodpile.
• Elevate wood pile o󰀨 ground to allow air circulation
underneath.
• Smallerpiecesofwooddryfaster.Anypieceover6in.
(152 mm) in diameter should be split.
• Wood(wholeorsplit)shouldbestackedsobothends
of each peice are exposed to air. More drying occurs
through the cut ends than the sides.
• Store wood under cover to prevent water absorption
from rain or snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends
completely.
Seasoned Wood
• Cut logs to size
• Splitto6in.(152mm)orless
• Airdrytoamoisturecontentofaround20%
- Soft wood - about nine months
- Hard wood - about eighteen months
NOTICE: Seasoning time may vary depending on drying
conditions.
WARNING! Fire Risk! DO NOT store wood:
• In front of the replace.
• In space required for loading or ash removal.

Figure 3.1 Chimney & Termination Cap Cleaning
A. Disposal of Ashes
Frequency: When they reach bottom of grate
By: Homeowner
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashes could contain hot em-
bers.
• Placeashesinametalcontainerwithatight-ttinglid.
• The closed container should be placed on a non-
combustibleoororontheground,wellawayfromall
combustiblematerials,pendingnal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.
B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning
Frequency: At least twice a year during heating season
orasrecommendedbyacertiedchimneysweep
By: Certiedchimneysweep
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ignited creosote is extremely
HOT. Prevent creosote buildup.
RefertoFigure3.1toremove/reinstallterminationcaps.
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 rela-
tivelycoolchimneyueofaslow-burningre.Asaresult,
creosoteresidueaccumulatesontheuelining.When
ignitedthiscreosotemakesanextremelyhotre.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! A chimney re can permanently
damage your chimney system and nearby structures.
Intheeventofachimneyre,Hearth&HomeTechnolo-
gies Inc. recommends:
• replacement of the chimney, and
• inspection of the adjacent structure to the provisions of
NFPA Level III inspection criteria.
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 it shall be removed to re-
ducetheriskofachimneyre.

B. Design and Installation Considerations
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consultinsurancecarrier,localbuildinginspector,re
o󰀩cialsorauthoritieshavingjurisdictionoverrestrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Wherethereplaceistobeinstalled
• Theventsystemcongurationtobeused
• Gas supply piping
• Framingandnishingdetails
• Whether optional accessories are desired
Thisoutdoorreplacewillshedmoderateamountsofwa-
ter, but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water va-
por may enter the chase under certain conditions.
The replace will not perform as an exterior wall. Mois-
ture penetration must be considered for construction that
placesthereplaceinstructurewallsoronmoisturesensi-
tive surfaces.
When installed on exterior walls: Hearth & Home Tech-
nologies recommends that the replace chase be con-
structedoutsidethestructure’sweatherenvelope.Where
theplatformmeetsthewall,useaashingdetailsimilarto
thatrequiredforattacheddecks.Chaseplatforms,includ-
ing hearths should slope away from the structure at 1/8
in.to1/4in.perfoot.Thereplacecanbeshimmedlevel.
When installed on surfaces where water may collect
or cause damage: Hearth & Home Technologies recom-
mends that a drainage pan (sold separately), be placed
under the unit. This can be constructed of metal, adhe-
sive polymer membrane (such as ice and water shield) or
other suitable materials. A means of drainage out of the
pan such as tubes or weep holes should be provided. A
slopeof1/8in.to1/4in.perfoottowardsthedrainportis
suggested.Thereplacecanbeshimmedlevel.
Hearthsshouldslopeawayfromthefrontofthereplace
andchaseat1/8in.to1/4in.perfoot.Sparkstripsmust
be on top of any combustible hearth materials used for
