• The rst three or four res should be of moderate size to
allow the oils and binders to be burned from the replace
and the refractory and paint to cure. You may notice
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 damper 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
operation of your replace. Most woodburning replace
problems 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.M for more detail.
CAUTION! Odors and vapors released during initial
operation may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
Open windows for air circulation.
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 affect its safety.
• (See refractory maintenance Section 3.C.)
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT burn replace with-
out refractory. Use only refractory supplied by Hearth &
Home Technologies, Inc.

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.
Moisture
Soft woods Hard woods
• Douglas Fir • Oak
• Pine • Maple
• Spruce • Apple
• Cedar • Birch
• Poplar
• Aspen
• Alder
Storing Wood
Steps to ensure properly seasoned wood:
• Stack wood to allow air to circulate freely around and
through woodpile.
• Elevate wood pile off 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 absorbtion
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.
Processed Solid Fuel Firelogs
Manufactured relogs may be used with this replace.
Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends the use of
UL Classied processed fuel relogs. Follow the manufac-
turer’s lighting and safety instructions.
Using relogs may require more frequent chimney inspec-
tion and cleaning.
Do not poke or stir the logs while they are burning. Use
only relogs that have been evaluated for the application
in manufactured replaces and refer to relog warnings
and caution markings on packaging prior to use.

3 Maintenance and Service
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
reduce the risk of a chimney re.

C. Check Firebox Refractory
Frequency: After each ash removal
By: Homeowner
D. Inspect Grate
Frequency: After each ash removal
By: Homeowner
Inspect grate for:
• Warping or sagging 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) or more
• Broken welds
• Burn-through of grate bars
For safe operation, replace only with an approved grate
from Hearth & Homes Technologies Inc.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Inspect replace refractory.
Crumbling, deteriorated refractory can allow overheating
of surrounding materials.
Expansion and contraction will cause minor cracking of
the refractory. This is normal. The refractory will require
periodic replacement depending on use.
The panels should be replaced if
• Cracks exceed ¼ inch (6 mm) in width,

4 Troubleshooting Guide
Start Fire Problems Possible Cause Solution
Can’t get re started
Excessive smoke or spillage
Burns too slowly
Smolders, sizzles
Not enough kindling/paper or no
kindling/paper
Use dry kindling, more paper. Arrange kindling &
wood for air movement.
Not enough air for re to ignite Check for restricted cap/shroud.
Check for ue blockage.
Pre-warm ue before starting re
Check for adequate vent height (refer to chimney
assembly section).
Wood condition is too wet, too
large
Use dry, seasoned wood
Bed of coals not established
before adding wood
Start with paper & kindling to establish bed of
coals (refer to starting re section).
Flue blockage such as birds’ nests
or leaves in termination cap
Have chimney inspected for creosote and cleaned
by a certied chimney sweep.
Fire burns too fast Extremely dry or soft wood Mix in hardwood.
Mix in less seasoned wood after re is established
(refer to wood fuel section).
No glass doors Add glass doors to slow down air ow.
Overdrafting Check for correct vent height; too much vertical
height creates overdrafting.
Check location of vent termination (refer to
chimney assembly section).

5 Getting Started
A. Typical Fireplace System

15Outdoor Lifestyles by Hearth & Home Technologies Inc.• 4072-137 Rev F • 11/25/13
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
of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
water, but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water
vapor 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
sensitive 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,
including 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 col-
lect or cause damage: Hearth & Home Technologies
recommends that a drainage pan be placed under the
unit. This can be constructed of metal, adhesive polymer
membrane (such as ice and water shield) or other suit-
able 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
moisture management.
C. Moisture Resistance:

Plumb line Safety glasses
Level Tape measure
1/2-3/4 in. length, #6 or #8 self-drilling screws
Misc. screws and nails
D. Tools and Supplies Needed F. Inspect Fireplace and Components
WARNING! Risk of Fire and/or Explosion! Damaged
parts could impair safe operation. DO NOT install dam-
aged, incomplete or substitute components. Keep re-
place dry.
• Remove replace and components from packaging and
inspect for damage.
• Vent system components and doors are shipped in
separate packages.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment.
• Read all the instructions before starting the
installation. Follow these instructions carefully
during the installation to ensure maximum safety
and benet.

6 Framing & Clearances
Figure 6.1 Fireplace Locations (Framing dimensions shown)
A. Selecting Fireplace Location
This outdoor replace will shed moderate amounts of
water, but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water
vapor 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 against structure walls or on moisture
sensitive surfaces.
• Exterior Walls (see Figure 6.1)
Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the
replace chase be constructed 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, including hearths, should slope
away from the structure at 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. per foot.
The replace can be shimmed level. Build the outside
enclosure out of standard building materials, being
careful to maintain the minimum air clearances specied
in these installation instructions.
• Freestanding Installations (see Figure 6.2)
When installing this replace as a freestanding replace
on your porch, patio or in your yard, it must be enclosed
to prevent impact damage to the replace.
• The cooling air hoods MUST be used if installing in
a combustible enclosure.
• If unit is installed on cement and totally enclosed with non
combustilbe materials (i.e. metal studs, cement board,
etc.) the cooling air hoods do not need to be installed.
• When Installed on Surfaces Where Water May Collect
or Cause Damage:
Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that a
drainage pan be placed under the unit. This can be
constructed of metal, adhesive 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 used on top of any combustible
hearth materials used for moisture management.
