SAFETY TIPS BEFORE YOU START:
BASIC INSTRUCTION GUIDELINES FOR
FIREPLACE AND CHIMNEY INSTALLATION:
The BORDEAUX fireplace is an energy efficient, heat
circulating, zero clearance fireplace. You will receive a
lifetime of comfort and enjoyment from your fireplace provided
that it is installed, maintained and operated properly.
Your fireplace must be installed in accordance with these
installation instructions. Please read these instructions
before proceeding to your installation.
Prior to starting the installation, contact local building or fire
officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area. Your installation must conform
with all federal and municipal building code requirements.
Your Model BORDEAUX has been tested and listed using all
of the chimney, supports, shields, etc., described in the
following installation procedures. Deletion or modification of
any of the required parts or materials may seriously impair
the safety of your installation, and void the manufacturers
warranty and the conditions of approval.

13. Maintain a minimum of 4' of clearance space to
combustible materials from the front of the fireplace.
14. SuperVent (Models FC, SC, SPR, JM, & ALT) and
Selkirk (Models UT, CF & U1) Insulated chimneys in 6" or 7"
diameters have been approved for use with the Bordeaux
Fireplace, and must be installed in accordance with these
installation instructions provided with the fireplace.
15. The Fireplace may be installed directly upon combustible
construction and with clearance "air space" to adjacent
combustible construction as established by standoffs.
8. The first length or elbow located directly on the top of
theFireplace must be secured with a minimum of three (3)
#6X3/4" stainless sheet metal screws.
9. Firestoppping by means of either an Attic Insulation
Shield, or Firestop Joist Shield must be provided at all joist
levels.
10. Joists should be fully framed at all levels, maintaining
the required 50mm (2") minimum air space clearance from
the outside of the chimney to the inside of the framing. See
Figure 4 for minimum required framing.
11. A Rafter Radiation Shield is required on all roofs joist
framing when the chimney is totally enclosed up to the roof
(maintaining a 50mm (2") minimum air space).
12. The Insulated chimney must be installed directly on the
top of the fireplace by means of an adapter (see Page 13).
1. We strongly recommend to have your fireplace installed
and serviced by professionals who are certified in Canada by
WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) or l'APC
(Association des professionels du chauffage) or in the U.S.
by NFI (National Fireplace Institute).
2. Clear the working space to give you freedom of movement
during installation. Move furniture, rugs, and pictures that
might get in your way. Be sure to clear any insulation that has
been placed over the area where the chimney will penetrate
the ceiling above the fireplace.
3. Check for electrical wires in and around the intended
location of your chimney and make sure that all wires are
secured at least two inches away from any chimney parts.
Never cut or touch any wires because a fatal shock can
result. If a wire must be moved, arrange for a professional
electrician to do it for you.
4. Wear gloves while handling metal parts to avoid
personal injury. Possible sharp edges of projections can cut
you.
5. Have help to install the fireplace and chimney. Avoid
back injuries, lift properly.
6. Inspect your ladder for condition. Make certain that all
points of the base always rest on a level, firm surface.
7. Make certain that all electricity powered tools which
require grounding are properly grounded. Unprotected tools
can be hazardous especially when working out-of-doors on
damp ground or wet roofs.
8. A 50mm (2") minimum air space clearance must be
maintained between the chimney and combustible materials.
This means air space only.
9. To eliminate possible hazardous conditions, an
adequate supply of air must exist in the room where the
fireplace is installed.
1. Combustible materials may not be placed on black, front
face of the fireplace.
2. Do not obstruct or modify inlet or outlet air circulating
grilles as this could cause a hazardous situation.
3. Model BORDEAUX Fireplace is NOT approved for
installation in mobile homes.
4. The chimney cannot be greater than 45 degrees (when
installed in the US 15 and/or 30 degrees offset are allowed) for
1in chimney and 30 degrees for 2in chimney from the vertical
plane.
5. The minimum installed distance from the fireplace opening
to an adjacent wall is 457mm (18"). See Figure 1.
6. All chimney sections and elbows require a minimum of
50mm (2") air space clearance to combustibles.
7. Locking bands or stainless sheet metal screws, maximum
length of 19mm (3/4") should be used on all interior joints.
Locking bands must be used on all exterior joints.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
LOCATINGTHEFIREPLACE
Select the fireplace location taking into consideration such
things as room size, traffic patterns, location of doors and
windows, chimney location, and required clearances to
sidewalls (See Figure 1). With proper planning, slight adjustments
now can save considerable time and expense later.
Be very careful around electrical wiring and be sure it is
secured at least 50mm (2") away from any part of the
chimney. If wiring must be relocated, hire a certified
electrician. As an alternative, you may wish to offset the
chimney, or move the fireplace to another location.
The BORDEAUX must be installed on a level surface
capable of supporting the fireplace and the chimney. The
weight of the fireplace is approximately 450 lbs. Usually, no
additional flooring support is needed for the fireplace. Consult
your local building code to determine if additional support is
needed.
Make sure that the chimney will not intersect a structural
member when passing through a ceiling, roof or floor. If the
chimney is going to intersect a structural member, either
offset the chimney, or move the fireplace so the structural
integrity of the house will be maintained.
When installing the outside air kit, consideration must be
taken as to where the outside air duct will be installed.
NOTE: When installed in areas with continuous temperatures
below -18°C (0°F), the use of external chimneys may result
in operational problems such as poor draft, excessive
condensation of combustion products and rapid accumulation
of creosote. Under these circumstances, the installation of
the chimney within the building (within the house envelope)
is strongly recommended. Better chimney and appliance
operation will be obtained if the chimney is located entirely
inside the heated part of the building (except of course for the
part above the roof).
If the chimney must be installed on an exterior wall it is
recommended that the chimney be enclosed below the roof
line to protect the chimney from cold outdoor temperatures,
this may improve draft and appliance operation. Exterior
enclosures may be insulated, maintaining the required
minimum air space clearances of 50mm (2") to the chimney.
Consult local building codes for cold climated applications.

In order to eliminate possible hazardous conditions, an
adequate supply of air must exist in the room. An air valve
assembly is included with your fireplace. Connect the
outside air kit (optional) to the air valve assembly to ensure
an adequate air supply exists.

DONOT BLOCKTHECIRCULATINGAIRINLET OR
THECOMBUSTIONAIRCONTROLHANDLE.
In order to minimize the possibility of a fire caused by hot
ashes falling between the hearth extension and the fireplace,
a sheet metal sealer strip must be installed and used as
shown in figure 2a and 2b.
Move the fireplace into its final position, once in place secure
the fireplace to the floor through the nailing flange with screws
or nails.
OUTSIDEAIRKITINSTALLATION
During operation, the fireplace requires air for combustion
and draws air out of the house. It may affect the performance
of other appliances such as gas or oil furnaces, exhaust fans
and fan driven appliances. This may cause a negative
pressure in the house allowing smoke to back into the home.
To avoid cancellation of warranties and/or possible cause of
internal fires, we have made the installation of the Outside Air
Kit mandatory.
The air valve assembly has been shipped with the fireplace,
and has been designed to be installed on the left-hand side
of the fireplace (See figure 3a) by lining-up both V-notch and
turning the air valve assembly to engage the fireplace sheet
metal in between the beveled bead of the Air Valve Stub.
The maximum length approved for the aluminum flexible air
duct is 4.9m(16ft.) of which 3m(10ft.) may be vertical above
the fireplace. The hood assembly may be above or below
floor level.
Ensure that your air source is not close to automobile
exhaust, gas meters or other vents, or possible snow
blockage.
Locate a position in the outside wall to install the hood
assembly; ensuring the duct is long enough. Cut a hole
through the outside wall approximately 83mm(3-1/4") in
diameter and install the hood assembly (opening facing
down) to the exterior wall. Fasten the hood to the wall with
screws and seal with a suitable caulking (See Figure 3b). To
maintain a continuous vapor barrier, a bead of silicone
sealant should be applied to the interior wall prior to sliding the
cover plate over the hood stub.
At both ends, carefully pull back the insulation and plastic
cover, exposing the flexible duct. Fasten to the inlet of the
hood and the fireplace air valve stub with the clamps provided
(see Figures 3b and 3c). Carefully pull back the insulation
and plastic cover back over the duct. Tape the plastic cover
in place with aluminum duct tape (not supplied). This will help
in providing stable and regular airflow into the BORDEAUX
fireplace.
FIREPLACEANDHEARTHINSTALLATION
Your Selkirk Fireplace has been designed to be placed directly
on a flat combustible floor (i.e.. Plywood). Special support
structures may be required where the weight of masonry used
on a raised hearth or facing exceeds the floor loading allowed by
local building codes.
Once the fireplace and chimney installation locations have been
chosen, remove any combustible materials such as carpeting
or vinyl floors from where the fireplace will be positioned. An
area for the hearth extension must also be removed 268mm
(10-1/2") on both sides of the fireplace opening and 460mm (18")
in front of the fireplace (See figure 1).
The standoff spacers incorporated onto the unit establishes
clearances to the fireplace on the sides, back and top. If
insulation or vapor barriers are exposed, they must be covered
with a suitable building material (i.e. Drywall, Plywood) to ensure
proper clearances are maintained. Do not fill the spaces around
the fireplace with blown or fill type insulation.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The minimum approved system height is 4.3m(14') above the
fireplace. The fireplace is designed to support up to 7.6m(25')
of vertical chimney. For greater heights additional supports
are required at each 8.0m(24').
Except for installation in one and two family dwellings, your
chimney that extends through any zone above that on which
the connected appliance is located, is to be provided with an
enclosure having a fire resistance rating equal to or greater
than that of the floor or roof assemblies through it passes.
Authorities require that the chimney extend not less than
1m(3') above the highest point where it passes through the
roof of a building and not less than 609mm(2') above any
portion of the building within 10'. See figure 9.
The use of locking bands or stainless sheet metal screws
(#6 x 3/4") should be used on all interior joints. Locking bands
must be used on all sections that make up an offset and

may be used. For offset installations of the 2 inch chimney
(SC-1, ALT, CF) a maximum of 4-30° elbows may be used.
During installation of elbows, make sure to provide
supplementary support for the offset sections to avoid any
undue stress on connected elbows.
Never install an elbow in a joist area. Chimney sections must
pass vertically through framed joist areas.
Install an elbow support just above the highest elbow. Attach
the support band to the chimney by installing eight sheet
metal screws through the pre-punched holes. Nail the four
support bands to the side of the framing using 6d(2") spiral
nails. Each elbow support will support 8m(30ft.) of chimney.
See figure 20.

EXTERIOR CHIMNEY INSTALLATIONS
On a through the wall installation as shown in figures 11c and
14c, an intermediate wall support is required immediately
above the second elbow which will support up to 10m(30ft.)
of chimney.
Install one length of chimney on the second elbow and
secure in place with a locking band. Assemble the
intermediate wall support and slide the assembly over the
section just installed. Fasten the intermediate wall support to
the wall using four ¼ × 2" lag bolts, or wood screws so that
the hole in the plate is located in the middle of the chimney
section. Install the draw band around the chimney so that it
is securely against the support plate and supporting the
weight of the chimney. Install four sheet metal screws firmly
into the outer casing of the chimney, through the pre-
punched holes in the draw band. See figure 25.

Using the nut and bolt supplied, fasten the wall band around
the chimney section. Then secure the band to the wall using
two 6d(2") spiral nails or appropriate masonry fasteners for
concrete walls.
ROOFFLASHINGINSTALLATION
Ensure that you have the proper roof flashing by checking
your roof pitch using a level and two rulers, or by using a roof
pitch card. See figure 26.
A Rafter Radiation Shield is equired when the chimney is
enclosed below the roof line such as in the attic space or in
a chase. The shield is installed from above the joist and is
supported by the two L-shaped brackets on the sides.
Ensure that the chimney is plumb, then nail the rafter
radiation shield into place through the brackets before the
roof flashing is installed. See figure 27.
Slide the roof flashing suitable to your roof pitch over the
chimney. Place the top edge of the flashing plate under the
shingles. Place both sides and bottom edge on top of
shingles. See figure 27.
Square up the flashing plate and nail in place to the roof deck
using 12 nails with neoprene washers or cover the heads with
a suitable water proof mastic.
Wrap the storm collar around the chimney above the flashing,
and secure the ends loosely together with the nut and bolt
supplied. Slide the collar down the chimney until it contacts
the flashing guides. Tighten the nut and bolt and seal the
storm collar to the chimney with a suitable non-combustible
mastic.
The flashing and storm collar should be painted to match the
roof shingles. This will extend its life and improve the
appearance of the installation. Clean, prime, and paint with
suitable painting products.
Continue adding chimney lengths until the proper height is
achieved. See Chimney Installation Instructions on page 3.
Install a raincap (Standard, or Deluxe Model for Supervent
models) and lock it into place by turning it clockwise until tight
or by tightening the nut and bolt of a Round Top Selkirk Model.
If the chimney extends1.6m(5ft.) or more above the roof
deck, then roof guys are required. An adjustable roof brace
kit is suitable for this application. The draw band must be
clamped around the chimney and the two legs bolted to the
chimney.

FIREPLACE FUEL
The BORDEAUX is designed to work best when fueled with
seasoned firewood. Seasoned wood is crucial for a good
performance. Seasoned wood burns hot, emits less smoke
and creates less creosote. A moisture content of 15% to 20%
is ideal. To ensure drywood, it must be cut, split and stored in
a dry area for a year. Wet wood when burned, must release
water stored within the wood. This cools the fire, creates
creosote and hampers a complete burn. Drywood on the other
hand, is denser, will weigh more per cord and burn a little slower
and longer.
NEVER BURN SCRAP, GARBAGE, TREATED WOOD
OR WOOD SUCH AS
SALTWATER DRIFTWOOD OR RAIL ROAD TIES
Do not burn saltwater driftwood, treated wood, wax logs, coals,
garbage, plastics or rubber. Fuel other than firewood may burn
excessively hot leading to damages to the fireplace and/or the
chimney system and become a serious fire hazard.
NEVER START THE FIRE USING GASOLINE,

When installing the double doors two hinges and hardware is
provided. Place the hinges in a precut space on the front face
of the fireplace. Fix the hinges with provided screws and
place the doors by dropping them into the appropriate hinge
hole. Repeat for the other door (See figure32b).
The door(s) may be adjusted by tightening them to the front
face of the unit. This can be accomplished by rotating the
handle counterclockwise to increase latching force and
clockwise to reduce latching force.
The door latch and door gasket work in conjunction to seal the
firebox. If the door(s) do not seal, air will leak into the firebox
and cause the fire to burn too fast.
FIGURE31a
The BORDEAUX offers two types of doors, a single door and
double doors. The doors adjustment have been set at the
factory, additional adjustment will not be necessary. See
separate instructions packaged with each door kit.
When installing a single door configuration, one hinge plate,
hardware and one filler plate are provided. See figure 31a.

BUILDINGAFIRE
No matter what method you will use to build a fire, review the
hints and warnings below to ensure proper fire starting.
•Make sure the combustion air control (located below the
left-hand side door, just above the bottom grille) is fully opened.
This is accomplished by pulling forward on the slider combustion
air control arm (see Figure 33 & 34). Open an adjacent window
during the first 5 to 10 minutes if additional air is needed.
•Make certain the chimney is drafting upwards. Some
chimneys will need to be primed or warmed up before they will
draw sufficiently to start a fire. This could depend on too short
of a chimney; quantity of offsets; a cold outside chimney;
fireplace is located in the lower level of the dwelling; local
geography or nearby obstructions.
•Do not light a kindling fire until the chimney begins
drawing, repeat the procedure below as often as necessary if
the initial attempt is unsuccessful.
• Ball up some newspaper, place it in the center of the grate
area in the firebox and light it until the chimney begin to draw.
Once a draft has been established, start a kindling fire.
•Place 4 to 5 crumpled newspaper (balled up fairly tight)
on the floor behind the grate area. Place 10 to 15 pieces of small
kindling on and behind the paper so that the combustion air
reaches the newspaper and to ensure the fireplace reaches a
proper temperature. Once the kindling is burning rapidly, place
a few (2 or 3) small pieces of dry firewood to the kindling.
•If additional air is needed, open the door 1/4" during the
first five minutes of start-up.
ACCELERATEDCOMBUSTION(HighBurn)
To achieve maximum heat output, the BORDEAUX fireplace
was designed to be operated with the door(s) closed and the
combustion air control fully opened. In this setting, it will
require refueling every few hours as this is the least efficient
setting. Cautionmustbeexercisedwhenoperatingwith
the combustion air control fully open. Only cordwood
must be used in all setting.
FIGURE33
COMBUSTION CONTROL
The BORDEAUX fireplace has no damper. The combustion
air control is used to control the burn rate of the fireplace.
This may take several minutes to influence the burn rate.
When making adjustments, you may wish to let the fireplace
burn for 10 to 20 minutes to gauge the performance of the fire.
When the fireplace is not in use, the combustion air control
should be in the closed position (all the way in) to minimize
air leakage up the chimney. Prior to opening the door(s) for
refueling, the combustion air control must be in the opened
position; this will lessen the chance of back draft entering the
room.
COMBUSTIONAIRCONTROL
PULL TO OPEN
PUSH TO CLOSE
This is the most stable setting of operation for optimal performance.
This will ensure less creosote depostis on your glass door(s) and
in the chimney system. The setting of the combustion air control
should be 3/4" closed. The precise setting will vary depending
on many factors, such as total chimney height, location of the
fireplace and the chimney system, including the moisture
content of the wood. As an example, a tall chimney system in
a non-airtight home will require closing the damper more. To
achieve proper combustion, close the damper completely, then
by opening the damper between 1/2 to 3/4 inches. Three
medium size pieces of wood should be burning on a bed of coals.
In this setting refueling would occur every 3 to 4 hours.
MEDIUM COMBUSTION (Medium Burn)

18
With the combustion air control in the closed position, the
fireplace is in a slow combustion phase. Slow combustion will
not put out the fire, but a very noticeable change in the flame
pattern will occur. The flame will be lazy and appear dirty.
Creosote from the fire may accumulate on the glass door(s)
unless the firebox is hot. This setting should be used only
after operating the BORDEAUX with the combustion air
control opened to produce a hot fire. The slow combustion
setting is mostly used at night in order to reduce the heat output
and to prolong the burn time. Refueling will then be every 5-8
hours (depending on chimney height and draft may lower burn
times). Inspection will be more frequent and cleaning of the
chimney system will be necessar y in this setting as creosote
accumulation will be accelerated.
TROUBLESHOOTING
during operation - use gloves if necessary. Occasionnally,
there may be a small amount of smoke upon lighting the fire,
until the draft has been established in the chimney. The
following are probable cause of smoke problems.
1.Doors are partly open: Open both doors fully when
opening them.
2.Negative airpressure: Check outside air supply connection
to ensure continuous airflow is maintained.
3. Fans operating: Ensure that nearby exhaust fans such
as furnace fan, exhaust kitchen fan, and bathroom fan(s) are
not operating.
4.Wet Wood: Wet wood when burned, must release water
stored within the wood therefore leading to more smoke and
creosote. Burn dry seasoned wood only.
5.Dirty or blocked chimney: Ensure that the chimney
system is clean and has no obstructions, if found, remove
obstructions and/or clean the chimney.
6.Chimney not high enough: Authorities require that the
chimney extend not less than 1m (3') above the highest point
where it passes through the roof of a building and not less
than 609 mm (2') above any portion of the building within a
radius of 10'.
7.Poorchimneydraft: When there is no fire in your fireplace
there still should be sufficient draft to draw smoke from a
burning piece of paper. If your installation is correct, smoke
will go up the chimney. If however, there is a problem with
your installation, cold air may be coming down the flue into
the room. This may be the case if your unit smokes on start-
up with the door(s) open, until the fireplace heats up. To
overcome this problem, try closing an upstairs window and
open a nearby window to pressurize the house.
MAINTENANCE OF THE BORDEAUX FIREPLACE
CREOSOTE, FORMATION & NEED FOR REMOVAL
When wood burns slowly, it produces tar and other organic
vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As result creosote
accumulates on the flue lining, and when ignited makes
extremely hot fire. Selkirk/SuperVent Chimneys are not
intended nor been designed to be used as a combustion or
fire chamber. By burning kindling, scrap lumber, brush or
other fast burning fuel, you can over fire your fireplace, which
can produce flames and high temperatures all the way up the
chimney. This can result in damage to the chimney if
continued for more than a couple of minutes.
KEEP YOUR CHIMNEY CLEAN. With a new installation, the
chimney should be inspected frequently (every two weeks) to
determine the rate of creosote formation. Once familiar with
your fireplace, and the chimney characteristics, the chimney
should be inspected at least once every two months during the
heating season to determine if creosote or soot build-up has
occurred.
REFUELING FOR BEST PREFORMANCE
To achieve optimal performance of your BORDEAUX fireplace
when refueling, get the fireplace hot by opening the combustion
air control (pulled out away from the fireplace) and letting the
fireplace burn on high between 15 to 30 minutes. This will
bring the firebox and the chimney system up to their optimum,
operating temperatures. Stir the coals and load small pieces
of wood. Let the fireplace burn on high for 15 minutes to keep
the fireplace hot, once you have reached the desired
temperature (flames will be at the upper section of the
firebox), the combustion air control can be closed gradually
(see Figure 34). The benefit of this technique will be cleaner
glass, less creosote build-up and greater efficiency. If the
optional blower kit is installed in the fireplace, have it turned
off during this procedure, this will eliminate smoke problems.
Ensure the combustion air control is fully open when opening
the door(s). This helps prevent smoke from spilling into the
room. Open the door(s) slowly, to allow airflow inside of the
firebox to stabilize. Occasionnaly, small amount of smoke
upon lighting the fire, until the draft has been established in
the chimney.

Remove the chimney cap and carefully inspect for creosote
build-up over the entire length of the chimney. If creosote or
soot has accumulated, the chimney must be thoroughly
cleaned. Failure to clean the chimney may lead to a fire.
Depending on the rate of build-up, as you learn what is going on
in the chimney, you can adjust your cleaning schedule.
Chimney cleaning is a very dirty, complicated, and dangerous
task. We strongly recommend you have a professional
chimney sweep perform this service.
