IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
DO'S AND DON'TS
If this fireplace is not properly installed, a house fire could result. For your safety the fireplace should be installed by a
professional following the installation directions. The local authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal building
department or fire department) should be contacted regarding restrictions and installation requirements, and the need to
obtain a permit.
To ANYONE using this fireplace: these DO's and DON’Ts are for your safety and for the durability of the unit. Detailed explanations follow in
the manual.
1. DO read this owner's manual before lighting your first fire.
2. DO keep these instructions, as well as the Installer’s Manual, for future use.
3. DO burn dry, split, seasoned wood fuel.
4. DO operate the fireplace with the glass door either fully closed or fully open. If the glass door is left partly open, it will increase
the burn rate and permanently damage the fireplace.
5. DO keep all combustible materials (furniture, firewood, etc.) at least 4' away from the front of the fireplace.
6. DO have the chimney inspected for creosote buildup, at least on an annual basis, and have it professionally cleaned as
needed to prevent a chimney fire. See complete information on the following page and in the Maintenance section.
7. DO NOT slam the fireplace door in opening and closing it, to avoid glass breakage.
8. DO NOT use the fireplace with the door closed if the glass is cracked or broken. Replace the glass before using the glass door again.
9. DO NOT ever use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or freshen up a fire. Keep
all such liquids well away from the fireplace while it is in use.
10.DO NOT over fire the fireplace. Burn a maximum of 4-5 medium logs (5" diameter) or 3 large logs (6" diameter), of an overall length
equivalent to 24” pieces, at a time. See complete warning on page 5.
11.DO NOT operate the fireplace with both the firescreen and door open. One of the two should always be closed while having a fire.
12.DO NOT use a fireplace grate or other products not specified for use with this fireplace.

GETTING STARTED:
WHAT TO KNOW AND DO BEFORE THE FIRST FIRING 5
13.DO NOT step or put legs of a step ladder on the metal front step or the hearth threshold. This is the black metal surface against which the
guillotine glass door and firescreen close at the bottom of the fireplace opening.
AVOIDING EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES
Over Firing
WARNING: OVER FIRING THE RENAISSANCE LINEAR 50 WILL CAUSE DURABILITY PROBLEMS.
THE RENAISSANCE IS CAPABLE OF BURNING CLEANLY PRIMARILY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN ENGINEERED TO
QUICKLY BURN VERY HOT. THIS RESULTS IN A BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN FIRE BUT CAN CAUSE DURABILITY PROBLEMS
IF THE UNIT IS REGULARLY OVERLOADED AND/OR OPERATED CONTINUOUSLY WITH EXCESSIVE LARGE WOOD
LOADS. THE RENAISSANCE IS PRIMARILY A DECORATIVE APPLIANCE AND ACCORDINGLY LESS EFFICIENT THAN
A WOOD BURNING STOVE SO THERE IS NO BENEFIT TO BURNING LARGER WOOD LOADS.
THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WILL ENSURE YOUR FIREPLACE BURNS BEAUTIFULLY WHILE MAINTAINING ITS
DURABILITY:
APPROXIMATE MAXIMUM LOG SIZE: 6" IN DIAMETER.
APPROXIMATE MAXIMUM LOAD: NO MORE THAN THE EQUIVALENT OF 3 LOGS 24" IN LENGTH.
THIS WOOD LOAD IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO FILL THE FIREBOX COMPLETELY WITH FLAMES AND PROVIDE A
LARGE AMOUNT OF RADIANT HEAT.
THE RENAISSANCE LINEAR 50 WILL BURN WITH LARGE HIGH FLAMES REGARDLESS OF HOW THE WOOD IS
PLACED IN THE UNIT. STACKING THE WOOD TIPI-STYLE AGAINST THE BACK OF THE FIREPLACE IS ACCEPTABLE
BUT CAN COSMETICALLY DAMAGE THE FIREBOX REFRACTORY BRICKS IF YOU’RE NOT CAREFUL PLACING THE
LOGS.
IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SIGNS APPEAR IN YOUR FIREPLACE THEN YOU ARE OVER FIRING:
THE REFRACTORY BRICKS ARE CRACKING AND DETERIORATING QUICKLY
THE DOOR CHANNEL IS WARPED
Creosote: Formation and Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with the expelled moisture from the wood to form
creosote. The creosote vapors can condense in the relatively cool chimney of a slow burning fire. When ignited, this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire in the chimney. The chimney should be inspected periodically during the heating season to see if a creosote build-up has
occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (¼" or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire.

FEATURES
UNIQUE DECORATIVE FIREPLACE
The LINEAR 50 fireplace is a decorative fireplace that provides a magnificent view of the fire. It is defined as a fireplace (primarily for
aesthetics) under the 2015 EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) regulation since it offers more than 500 square inches of
pure fire viewing (710 square inches are visible). Small amounts of firewood can fill the firebox with large, beautiful flames in this exceptional
fireplace.
OPTIONS
There are no options available for the LINEAR 50. It comes fully equipped with a built-in guillotine glass door and a guillotine firescreen.
Vented gas logs sets are permitted. Go online to the Renaissance web site: www.renaissancefireplaces.com for more information.
WARNING: THIS FIREPLACE 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 THIS FIREPLACE. DO NOT INSTALL A GAS LIGHTER BECAUSE
THE HEAT PRODUCED BY THE FIREPLACE MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE GAS LIGHTER
PROPER FUEL
It’s true of all combustion appliances: the better the fuel, the better the burn. Let’s look now at the characteristics of good fuel, so that you
have the right information to provide your LINEAR 50 with the fuel that will make for easier and faster starting, cleaner and more beautiful
burning, and reduced maintenance.
WHAT TO BURN AT ALL TIMES
We recommend always burning your fireplace with split, dry, seasoned wood logs. Your fireplace will not burn cleanly or efficiently unless the
wood is dry and well-seasoned. That means wood that has been cut, split, stored in a stack that is covered on top, but open on the sides for
air flow for at least 6 months, but preferably for a year or two.
There are some simple indicators that wood is reasonably well-seasoned: loose or fallen bark, checking and splitting of the log ends, weight
relative to known dry wood, ease in splitting, and how the wood burns (catches quickly and does not sizzle or drip water. But the best way to
know that your wood is really well-seasoned is with a moisture meter. This is a simple gauge that measures moisture content. Exact accuracy
is less important than establishing a benchmark. With an inexpensive meter you can find a range (usually 20-25% or less) that gives you a
way to have and meet an effective, reasonable standard for your firewood.
You can burn any well-seasoned species of wood. Softwoods dry quickly, start easily, and offer quick, bright burns. Hardwoods generally take
longer to season and burn longer.

GETTING STARTED:
WHAT TO KNOW AND DO BEFORE THE FIRST FIRING 7
WHAT TO BURN OCCASIONALLY AND CAREFULLY
Do not use construction scraps (e.g. 2x4 or plywood scraps) as your only supply of fuel as you can overheat and seriously damage the
fireplace.
If you use densified wood logs, do not use more than two at a time and only with the firescreen closed. If you use more than two at a time,
you will over fire the fireplace. Do not poke or stir the logs while they are burning.
If you use wax fuel logs (e.g. Duraflame), do not use more than one wax fuel log at a time and only with the firescreen closed. Using them
with a closed door will lead to a dirty glass. Futhermore, if you use more than one at a time, you will over fire the fireplace. Do not poke or
stir the log while it is burning.
Use only firelogs that have been evaluated for fireplace use. In Canada, they should meet the requirements of ULC/ORD-C127-M1990. Refer
to the firelog warnings and caution markings prior to use.
WARNING: BURN DRY WOOD ONLY.
DO NOT BURN DRIFTWOOD, TREATED WOOD, COAL, GARBAGE, OR PLASTIC.
WHAT NEVER TO BURN
Never use flammable liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluids to start or refresh a fire in the LINEAR 50.
Never burn driftwood, treated wood, coal, garbage, or plastic.
FIRST FIRES
Be aware that there is a possibility of minor smoke and odor emitted into the house from oils and paint curing during the first few firings of
the new fireplace. You may want to schedule first burns when doors and windows of the house can be opened if needed.
The refractory bricks will accumulate moisture after extended periods without burning. The first fire will burn off this excess moisture and may
make it more difficult to light.

OPERATING THE FIREPLACE 8
OPERATING THE FIREPLACE
BEFORE FIREBUILDING
G LASS D OOR O PERATION
The LINEAR 50 is equipped with a counterweighted guillotine glass door. Normal operation of the door
should always be in a vertical motion. It can also be opened on a hinge to allow for cleaning of the glass.
Please refer to the "Maintenance" section for more information on how to open the glass door on its
hinge.
To open or close the glass door simply insert the handle in the door handle eye (see Figure 1) and either
pull up or down. It is fully counterweighted. You can stop the door at any level and it will stay in that
position until you move it again.
The handle is equipped with a leather strap to allow you to hang the handle with your fireplace tools
when you are not using it. By doing this, you will always have the fireplace handle close by.
To minimize the risk of injuries or burns, do not touch any of the door parts with your bare
hands while the fireplace is hot because they may be hot enough to cause serious burns.
The glass door has a stainless steel cushion-type gasket at the bottom to ensure a good seal when it is
closed. The gasket is soft enough to compensate for some dirt or ashes that may be under the door.
Nevertheless, always make sure to remove anything that could prevent the door from sealing against the
hearth threshold (the black metal surface at the bottom of the fireplace opening), and that could damage
the gasket over time.
F IRESCREEN O PERATION
The LINEAR 50 is equipped with a counterweighted guillotine firescreen. To open or close the firescreen simply insert the handle in the
firescreen handle eye (lower right corner of the firescreen, equivalent to the glass door) and either pull up or down. It is fully
counterweighted. You can stop the firescreen at any level and it will stay in that position until you move it again.
O UTSIDE A IR C ONTROL
The LINEAR 50 is designed to use outside air for combustion. The control for the outside air is located on the left side beyond the door rail,
approximately half way up (see Figure 2).
You need to fully open the glass door and the firescreen to have access to the outside air control.
To minimize the risk of injuries or burns, do not touch the outside air control and the surrounding parts with your bare hands
while the fireplace is hot. They may be hot enough to cause serious burns.
Figure 1 Door Handle Eye
Location

OPERATING THE FIREPLACE 9
When the outside air control is down, the outside air damper is open. When it is up, the outside air
damper is closed. Use a gloved hand to adjust the air control when the fireplace is hot.
From the open position, push it gently to the right and then slide up to release it. A spring will keep it
closed. From the close position, just push it down passed the notch that will keep it open. It will not
change position by itself.
Even though the fireplace can be operated with the outside air damper closed, we recommend always
using outside air for combustion when burning the fireplace with the glass door closed. In some cases
this fresh air will also help compensate for negative pressure problems within the house (for example,
when strong kitchen or bath fans compete with and reduce chimney draft in a tightly constructed
house); however it will not prevent the fireplace from smoking in a severely depressurized house.
We also recommend using outside air for combustion when burning the fireplace with the firescreen
closed. It will help reduce the depressurization of the house caused by burning the fireplace with the
firescreen (when the fireplace draws large amounts of air from within a tightly constructed home).
This control should, however, be closed when the fireplace isn’t burning to prevent cold air infiltration. It
is sealed with a gasket.
C HIMNEY D AMPER
The LINEAR 50 is equipped with a chimney damper that is located in the flue at the top of the fireplace.
This chimney damper should only be used in either fully open or fully closed position. The chain for
the chimney damper is inside the firebox at the front, just above the opening.
When you secure the damper closed (pulling the chain down) it will virtually eliminate the flow of warm air up the
chimney as well as prevent cold air from entering from outside. The damper is counter-balanced and will open by
itself when you un-hook the damper chain. See Figure 3.
BUILDING THE FIRE
Always start by opening the chimney damper.
There are a number of ways to arrange your firewood to build a fire in your LINEAR 50. Always build and maintain
the fire well behind the ash step refractory bricks, never against or close to the glass door or the firescreen. In all
cases, you want to start with a number of pieces of easily lit material, such as newspaper. Place pieces of crumpled
or loosely knotted paper in the area where you will be placing the kindling and firewood. Then add a generous layer
of kindling over the paper, placed with spaces between the pieces for air flow. Finally, stack 2-3 small-medium size
logs over the kindling so that they are close or touching one another, but have small spaces between them for air
flow. Then light the paper in a number of places and close the firescreen. Keep burning with the firescreen closed for
at least the first 30 minutes after lighting the fire. Once the fire is established, you can add more wood and close the
glass door or the firescreen, as you prefer. Either the glass door or the firescreen should always be closed when the

OPERATING THE FIREPLACE 10
fire is burning. To establish good draft and to minimize the emissions, do not close the door until the fire is burning briskly.
Never use flammable liquids to start or refresh the fire.
CONTROLLING THE FIRE
The LINEAR 50 fireplace is designed to provide warm radiant heat. Although it does not come with a draft control, you will find that you can
control the intensity of the fire and the quantity of flames quite well by varying the size and placement of the logs. Burning with the glass
door or the firescreen closed will also affect heat transfer.
The LINEAR 50 is more efficient when burned with the glass door closed. Although more radiant heat will enter the room with the glass door
open, heat from the home is being lost up the chimney. Feel free to burn your fireplace with either the firescreen or the glass door closed,
but the glass door should always be closed when no fire is burning to prevent cold air infiltration into the home.
For a small fire, load 3 to 4 small logs (3" diameter).
For a large fire, load 4 to 5 small-medium logs (5" diameter).
Even though the firebox is quite big, you will soon discover that it is unnecessary to load a lot of wood to get magnificent flames. Be careful
not to overload your fireplace, you will risk over firing your fireplace and overheating the room in which the fireplace is located. You will get
greater satisfaction looking at a couple of small logs burning.
WARNING: PLEASE READ THE WARNING RELATED TO OVERFIRING THE FIREPLACE IN THE "GETTING STARTED:
WHAT TO KNOW AND DO BEFORE THE FIRST FIRING - IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATION PRECAUTIONS"
SECTION OF THIS MANUAL.
REFUELING
As the fire burns down and you want to add more wood, begin by having the firewood you intend to add in a convenient location near the
fireplace. Select an appropriate fireplace tool to arrange remaining burning wood or to spread hot coals where you intend to place the new
fuel. It is always recommended to use heavy fireplace gloves for the refueling process.
The door should be opened slowly to keep smoke from spilling into your room. If you have a problem with smoke spillage,
check to see that all kitchen and bathroom fans have been shut off. They can cause negative pressure in the house which pulls
smoke out of the fireplace.

MAINTENANCE 11
MAINTENANCE
ROUTINE TASKS
D ISPOSAL OF A SHES
Remove the ashes before they become too deep, i.e., before you have a spillage problem over the ash step refractory bricks.
The ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. Any hot coals embedded in the ashes can stay very hot very long.
Therefore the closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial,
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders are
thoroughly extinguished.
G ENERAL C LEANING
Any black painted portion of the fireplace can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild detergent
and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
P AINT
You can touch up the metal areas of the face of the LINEAR 50 with Stove Bright Metallic Black high
temperature paint which is available at most fireplace dealers. Follow the directions outlined on the
spray can. DO NOT attempt to paint the fireplace while it is still warm. Keep the spray can away from
any source of heat or open flame. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation in the room from the time
you start painting until the paint is dry. Stove Bright is available in a wide range of colors if you want
to change the color of your fireplace.
We recommend that you take the time to protect or remove any items that you do not want to paint
such as the door glass, the materials surrounding the fireplace, the hearth extension (the non-
combustible finishing material on the floor in front of the fireplace), etc.
G LASS C LEANING
Depending on how you burn your LINEAR 50, temperatures may not always be hot enough to keep the
glass perfectly clean. Having a good hot fire regularly usually cleans off most of the deposits that have
accumulated. Remember: the dryer the wood and the hotter the fire, the cleaner the glass. A word of
caution: although heat will not break the glass, impact can. Be careful not to hit the glass.
The door can be swung outward
from right to left to access the back
of the glass surface for cleaning
Figure 4 Glass Door Latch Pin

MAINTENANCE 12
WARNING: NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT; A SERIOUS BURN CAN RESULT. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS WITH AN
ABRASIVE CLEANER. USE ONLY A CLEANER RECOMMENDED BY YOUR DEALER. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
EXCELLENT WOOD STOVE GLASS CLEANERS AVAILABLE WHICH ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO REGULAR GLASS AND OVEN
CLEANERS.
The glass door can be swung open in order to clean the glass surface inside the fireplace. First, lift the firescreen completely and remove any
objects that may be on the hearth that could prevent the glass door from opening. Close the glass door completely and then using the
removable handle tip as a screwdriver, unlock the latch pin on the right of the door by turning it a quarter turn counterclockwise (see Figure
4). Once the latch pin is unlocked, simply pull the glass door free from the guillotine frame. You may need to slightly lift the door, but be
careful not to lift too high or the door may bind against the firescreen.
GUILLOTINE SYSTEM
Components of the guillotine system have been designed to limit the requirement for maintenance and overhaul.
The guillotine glass door and firescreen are designed to operate without having to exert excessive force. If at any time you feel like you have
to apply significant force to get the door or the firescreen moving, something is wrong. Do not force it; you could damage or break
something.
To ensure easy operation of both the guillotine door and the firescreen, we recommend that you lubricate the guide rails at the beginning of
every burning season. Completely open the firescreen and the guillotine door. Apply a small quantity of the high temperature grease provided
with the fireplace (regular grease will not withstand the heat of the fireplace) on each guide rail (left and right) just below the bottom of the
door and move your door up and down a couple of times to distribute the grease all over the guide rails. Repeat for the firescreen. You can
purchase additional high temperature grease from your Renaissance dealer.
WARNING: DO NOT USE TEFLON-BASED OR SILICON-BASED PRODUCTS SUCH AS JIG-A-LOO BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT MEANT
TO BE USED IN A HIGH TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENT. BURNED TEFLON CAN RELEASE A TOXIC FUME.
If for any reason you need to dismantle the guillotine system, complete instructions are available on our web site:
www.renaissancefireplaces.com/en/installation-manuals.
GLASS DOOR GASKETS
LOCATION
The design of the guillotine door requires many gaskets to create a seal adequate for the air wash to keep the glass clean (see Figure 5).
1. There is a fiberglass gasket around the edge of the glass. If you ever need to remove or change the glass, this gasket will need to be
changed as well.

MAINTENANCE 13
2. There is another fiberglass gasket on the back side of
the glass door to seal it against the guillotine door
frame. This gasket will need to be changed every few
years depending on how often you open the glass door
on its hinge. It will also need to be removed and
changed if you ever need to change the glass.
3. There is a steel gasket that seals the top of the
guillotine door frame against the fireplace. It is on the
back side of the top of the guillotine door frame. This
gasket will rarely need to be changed but it may require
some adjustment. Please see your Renaissance dealer
on this subject.
4. There is a stainless steel gasket that seals the bottom
of the guillotine door frame against the hearth
threshold. It is on the bottom of the guillotine door
frame. The rate of replacement will vary depending on
how careful you are at keeping the hearth threshold
clean before closing the guillotine door.
A DJUSTING THE G LASS D OOR FOR P ROPER
S EAL
The glass door can be adjusted in the guillotine door frame
in order to close properly on the glass door gasket. It can
be adjusted on the right side (facing the fireplace, the non-
hinged side), on the left side (the hinged side), and the
hinge can be adjusted in and out with respect to the door
frame.
If making hinge adjustments, it will be aesthetically
preferable to adjust both the guillotine frame and the glass
door hinges equally.
While burning your fireplace with the door closed, if you see the flames coming close to the glass, burning more on one side, or simply not
burning nicely, you may need to change one of the gaskets.
Latch Pin Adjustment
If required, the right side of the glass door can be tightened/loosened by adjusting the tightness of the latch pin:
1. Remove the shoulder bolt and the bushing on the back side of the latch pin;
Inside view of the glass door while open Back view of the guillotine
frame
Figure 5 Glass Door Gaskets

MAINTENANCE 14
2. Turn the main bolt of the latch pin counterclockwise to tighten the glass door or clockwise to loosen the glass door;
3. Reinstall the bushing and shoulder bolt.
There is no need to over-tighten the glass door.
Glass Door Hinge Adjustment
If required, the left side of the glass door can be tightened/loosened by adjusting the position of the hinge on both the glass door and the
guillotine door frame. You can adjust the hinge to the glass door; the glass door will then move in or out with respect to the hinge and the
guillotine door frame.
1. Swing the glass door open.
2. Slightly loosen the screws holding the hinge to the glass door.
3. Gently pull the glass door to the right to tighten it or to the left to loosen it. This will move the glass door slightly closer/farther to the
guillotine door frame when it is closed.
4. Retighten all the hinge screws on the glass door.
Guillotine Frame Hinge Adjustment
You can also adjust the door hinge where it connects to the guillotine door frame. The glass door and the hinge will then be moved in or out
with respect to the guillotine door frame.
1. Swing the glass door open.
2. Slightly loosen the screws holding the hinge to the guillotine door frame.
3. Gently push the glass door with the hinge towards the firebox. This will move the glass door and the hinge slightly closer to the guillotine
door frame when it is closed.
4. Retighten all the hinge screws on the guillotine door frame.
CHIMNEY CLEANING
A fireplace as clean burning as the LINEAR 50 does not produce a lot of creosote, but the chimney should nevertheless be inspected for
creosote buildup after a couple of months of using it. This will allow you to visualize the amount of creosote that is accumulating and adjust
the frequency of checking the chimney accordingly. At least an annual inspection is recommended. A buildup of ¼" or more calls for cleaning
by a chimney professional. Depending on how you burn your LINEAR 50,the chimney may need cleaning every year or every other year.

LISTING LABEL 15
REPLACEMENT PARTS
A complete list of replacement parts is available on our web site: www.renaissancefireplaces.com.
LISTING LABEL
The listing label has been placed on a thin steel plate attached by a cable inside the guillotine bay on the far right of the firebox. Both the
firescreen and the glass door must be open to access it. When returning the label, be sure to push it back as far as it goes inside so that it
does not impede proper movement of the glass door and/or the firescreen.
