• temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same
room as the appliance. Toddlers, young children and others may be sus-
ceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recommended
if there are at risk individuals in the house. To restrict access to an
appliance or stove, install an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers,
young children and other at risk individuals out of the room and away
from hot surfaces.
• Clothing or other flammable material must not be placed on or near
the appliance. Objects placed in front of the appliance must be kept a
minimum of 48” (1220 mm) away from the front face of the appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic
and away from furniture and draperies.
• Ensure you have incorporated adequate safety measure to protect
infants/toddlers from touching hot surfaces.
• Even after the appliance is out, the glass and/or screen will remain hot
for an extended period of time.
• Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety screens and
hearth guards to protect children from hot surfaces. These screens and
guards must be fastened to the floor.
• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior
to operating the appliance.
• Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified.
• This appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue pipe servicing a
separate solid fuel burning appliance.
• Do not operate the appliance with glass door removed, cracked or bro-
ken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified
service person.
• Do not strike or slam shut the appliance glass door.
• Only doors / optional fronts certified with the unit are to be installed on
the appliance.
• Keep the packaging material out of reach of children and dispose of the
• material in a safe manner. As with all plastic bags, these are not toys and
should be kept away from children and infants.
• If the appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. Do
not expose the appliance to the elements (ex. rain, etc.) and keep the
appliance dry at all times. Wet insulation will produce an odour when the
appliance is used.
• The chimney must be sound and free of cracks. Clean your chimney a
minimum of twice a year and as required.
• Do not start a fire with chemicals or fluids such as gasoline, engine
oil, etc.
• Your appliance requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Failure to
maintain your appliance may lead to smoke spillage in your home.
• Lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hard-
woods, as compared to softwoods or too green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Burning wet unseasoned wood can cause excessive creosote accumula-
tion. When this is ignited it can cause a chimney fire that may result in
a serious house fire.
• This appliance is designed to burn natural wood only. Do not burn treated
wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper, cardboard, solvents or garbage.
• Burn wood directly on the firebricks. Do not elevate grate or otherwise
raise the fire.
• Do not store wood within appliance installation clearances or within the
space required for re-fueling and ash removal.
• Ashes must be disposed in a metal container with a tight lid and placed
on a non-combustible surface well away from the home or structure until
completely cool.
• Ensure clearances to combustibles are maintained when building a man-
tel or shelves above the appliance. Elevated temperatures on the wall
or in the air above the appliance can cause melting, discolouration or
damage to decorations, a T.V. or other electronic components.
• Do not install this fireplace insert in a factory- built fireplace unless
certified with the fireplace.

INSTALL A VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO THE APPLIANCE.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
THIS APPLIANCE AND THE COMPONENTS ARE DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED
AND OPERATED AS A SYSTEM. ANY ALTERATION TO OR SUBSTITUTION
FOR ITEMS IN THIS SYSTEM, UNLESS ALLOWED BY THESE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS, WILL VOID THE LISTING AND MAY VOID THE PRODUCT WAR-
RANTY. IT MAY ALSO CREATE A HAZARDOUS INSTALLATION. READ THROUGH
THESE INSTRUCTIONS THROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING YOUR INSTALLATION
AND FOLLOW THEM CAREFULLY THROUGHOUT YOUR PROJECT.
• Before beginning your installation, consult with your local building code
agency or fire officials and insurance representative to ensure compliance.

15
We suggest that our woodburning hearth products
be installed and serviced by professionals who are
certified in the U.S. by the National Fireplace
Institute® (NFI) as NFI Woodburning Specialists or
who are certified in Canada by
Wood Energy Technical
Training (WETT).
• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help
dissipate the smoke open a window near the appliance.
• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before firing the
appliance as the paint will become soft as the appliance heats up and
will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on your appliance
burn your appliance moderately hot during the first few fires.
• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing,
periodically open the door every 5-10 minutes.
• For the first two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the
appliance for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of elimi-
nating moisture in the steel and firebricks. The initial heat output will be
reduced while the moisture is bring drawn from the appliance and it will
be necessary to build several hot fires to remove this moisture. DURING
THIS PROCESS DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE.
2.5. GENERAL INFORMATION
The chimney vent system used on your wood burning appliance should be
designed with the least amount of restriction possible to enable the exhaust
products to easily flow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too short or
too long (refer to point 4.3 ”chimney installation”) can also have an adverse
affect on the flow of exhaust through it. The wood burning appliance and
chimney vent system also require a sufficient supply of combustion air not
only to support the combustion in the combustion chamber but to replace the
exhaust leaving it so it can flow freely up through the vent system and out into
the atmosphere. It is the correct balance of combustion air and the chimney
vent system that will ensure the appliance provides you with its optimum
performance.
Be sure to provide sufficient combustion air. There are many other appliances
in your home competing for air such as a kitchen range hood, forced air
heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles
are normal and to be expected.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or
a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a slight odour for a few
hours. This is caused by dust particles on the firebox burning off. Open a
window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:
Use of this product may produce smoke which contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm.
If you experience smoking problems, you may need to open a door, a win-
dow or otherwise provide some method of supplying combustion air to the
appliance.
2.6. AIR SYSTEM
When mounting the air system ensure that the air control system provides
fresh air from the outside. In order for the air system to function, you have to
ensure in the structure that no vacuum occurs in the housing. If convection
grates are installed, be sure not to block them. Air system (accessory) is
connected to the bottom of the stove.

Please contact your dealer who offers suitable parts for air inlet ducts (pipes
and damper).
Make sure that the wire mesh is mounted at the combustion air inlet.
3. INSTALLATION PLANNING
Clean all ashes out of the inside of the existing fireplace opening. Make sure
that the chimney and fireplace are free of cracks, loose mortar, creosote
deposits, blockage or other signs of deterioration. If necessary, have any
repair work done by a qualified professional before installing the insert.
Do NOT remove bricks or mortar from the fireplace. In case of an outside
air inlet or ash dump, fill with fiberglass insulation. Adhere to minimum
clearances as illustrated.
WARNING
WEAR GLOVES AND SAFETY GLASSES FOR PROTECTION. CAREFULLY
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY OF THE PIPE AND OTHER
PARTS NEEDED TO INSTALL THE APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
RESULT IN A FIRE, ESPECIALLY IF COMBUSTIBLES ARE TOO CLOSE
TO THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY AND AIR SPACES ARE BLOCKED,
PREVENTING THE FREE MOVEMENT OF COOLING AIR. DO NOT DRAW
OUTSIDE AIR FROM GARAGE SPACES. EXHAUST PRODUCTS OF GASO-
LINE ENGINES ARE HAZARDOUS. DO NOT INSTALL OUTSIDE AIR DUCTS
SUCH THAT THE AIR MAY BE DRAWN FROM ATTIC SPACES, BASE-
MENTS OR ABOVE THE ROOFING WHERE OTHER HEATING APPLIANCES
OR FANS AND CHIMNEYS EXHAUST OR UTILIZE AIR. THESE PRECAU-
TIONS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF APPLIANCE SMOKING OR
AIR FLOW REVERSAL. THE OUTSIDE AIR INLET MUST REMAIN CLEAR
OF LEAVES, DEBRIS ICE AND/OR SNOW OR ANY OTHER OBSTACLES. IT
MUST BE UNRESTRICTED WHILE APPLIANCE IS IN USE TO PREVENT
ROOM AIR STARVATION WHICH CAN CAUSE SMOKE SPILLAGE AND
AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN A FIRE. SMOKE SPILLAGE CAN ALSO SET
OFF SMOKE ALARMS. NEGATIVE PRESSURE WITHIN YOUR HOME MAY
INADVERTENTLY AFFECT YOUR APPLIANCE. TO PREVENT CONTACT
WITH SAGGING OR LOOSE INSULATION, THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE
INSTALLED AGAINST VAPOUR BARRIERS OR EXPOSED INSULATION.
LOCALIZED OVERHEATING COULD OCCUR AND A FIRE COULD RESULT.
DO NOT USE MAKESHIFT COMPROMISES DURING INSTALLATION. DO
NOT BLOCK OR RESTRICT AIR, GRILLE OR LOUVRE OPENINGS. DO NOT
ADD A HOOD. KEEP HAND TOOLS IN GOOD CONDITION; SHARPEN CUT-
TING EDGES AND MAKE SURE TOOL HANDLES ARE SECURE. ALWAYS
MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM AIR SPACE REQUIRED TO THE ENCLOSURE TO
PREVENT FIRES. DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES WITH INSULA-
TION OR OTHER MATERIALS.
3.1. MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
