Heat Champion Burning:
 The smell of burnt or curing paint is normal during the first few uses.
 Always keep screen/mesh doors closed while burning.
 Keep hot embers well back from the doors in order to protect glass.
 Blower should be on while burning. In event of power failure, only burn
unit with doors open.
Blower:
 Blower is operated by variable speed switch. To turn on, turn switch
clockwise until desired fan speed is achieved. To turn off, turn switch
counter-clockwise until a positive “click” is heard. Unit is also equipped
with a thermostatically controlled switch which turns blower off when
temperature drops below 90°F. Bypass toggle switch bypasses the ther-
mostatically controlled switch for manual control.
 WARNING: Disconnect power source prior to performing any mainte-
nance or diagnostic operation on the blower or switches!
Glass:
 Always exercise caution during refueling to avoid striking the glass.
Close the doors gently and make sure wood is clear from door opening.
 Glass panels should never be cleaned while they are hot. Once com-
pletely cool, the glass panels may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth,
glass cleaner, or oven cleaner purchased from your local fireplace shop.
The glass panels must not be cleaned with abrasive materials (like steel
wool) as this may scratch and weaken the glass.
Cooking:
 It is recommended that you remove the grill and/or the pot holder from
the cooking chamber when not in use.
 Prepare food for cooking on a grill prior to placing food in the cooking
chamber. This may include wrapping food in aluminum foil, placing
food in a pot or pan, or arranging food on grill in a proper direction.
 Turn down blower before opening cooking chamber door.
 WARNING: Doors, grill, foil, pot/pan, and food may be extremely hot!
Installation
 Incorrect installation or unheeded warnings could result in a serious
fire, and loss of life and property.
 Product is NOT designed for installation in “zero-clearance” fireboxes or
mobile homes, or in conjunction with gas log sets.
 Inspect the chimney flue and fireplace for loose mortar, damaged brick,
and creosote build-up. Contact a professional chimney sweep or build-
ing contractor for more information or repair.
 Slide unit into fireplace opening, making sure to center unit in the
opening. Make sure insulation is properly installed; covering all gaps
without being bunched up. Note that large gaps created by rough open-
ings may require additional insulation.
 Install the 2 Lintel Clamp Bolts at the top and tighten as needed.
 Route the blower cord to desired location. Plug in the cord and check
for proper blower operation. See “Blower” section in Operating Instruc-
tions for explanation of switches.
Operating Instructions
Fuel:
 WARNING: Never use gasoline, oil, or any other flammable liquid to
start a fire in the Heat Champion!
 Dry, seasoned hardwood is the safest and most efficient firewood. Rec-
ommended firewood age is 6-9 months.
 When wood is green and/or burned very slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. This creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining, and
when ignited, can start an extremely hot chimney fire. The chimney
should be inspected for creosote build-up twice monthly during the
heating season, and cleaned as necessary.
 Make certain to keep wood well back from the door opening in order to
avoid puncturing or placing extreme heat on the glass.
 Regulate the fire in order to avoid the dangers and unnecessary wear
associated with extreme heat and uncontrolled burning.
 Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid and
retained there until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Remember that
bottom, sides, and handles of container may be very hot.
