5. Before securing fireplace to prepared
framing, ember protector (provided) must
be placed between hearth extension (not
supplied) and under bottom front edge of
replacetoprotectagainstglowingembers
fallingthrough.Ifreplaceistobeinstalled

3. Alocationthatavoidscuttingofjoistsor
roof rafters will make installation easier.
4. An outside air kit is available with this

OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR KIT
(MODEL AK4/AK4F)
The installation of an outside air kit should
be performed during the rough framing of

Outsidecombustionairisaccessedthrough
a vented crawl space (AK4F) or through a

CAUTION: Combustion air
inlet ducts shall not terminate
in attic space.
The maximum height for the
air vent can not exceed 3 feet
below the ue gas outlet of the
termination.
WARNING: The opening in
the collar around the chimney at
the top of the replace must not
be obstructed. Never use blown
insulation to ll the chimney

run sections per chimney system (see
Figure 11, page 9).
4. Allpipeconnectionsbetweentheoffset

FIRESTOP SPACERS (FS-10)
Firestop spacers are required at each point
where the chimney penetrates a oor space.
Their purpose is to establish and maintain
the required clearance between the chimney
and the combustible materials. When the pipe
passes through a framed opening into a living
spaceabove,therestopmustbeplacedonto
the ceiling from below as shown in Figure 12.
They also provide complete separation from
one oor space to another or attic space as

pipe passes through a framed opening into an
atticspace,therestopmustbeplacedintoan

Thedamperhandle,whichopensandcloses
the damper blade, is located in the upper front
faceofthereplace.Pushingthehandlefor-
ward and up through the keyway slot will free
damperbladetoautomaticallyopen.Pushing
the handle forward and down will lock damper

GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with the replace.
Whenreplaceisinoperation,doorsmustbe
fullyopenedorfullyclosedpositiononlyorare
hazard may be created (see Figure 30).
Areplaceequippedwithglassdoorsoperates
muchdifferentlythanareplacewithanopen
front.Areplacewithglassdoorshasalimited
amount of air for combustion.
Excessiveheatwithinthereplacecanresultif
toolargeareisbuiltorifcombustionairgate
isnotcompletelyopen.Thefollowingtipsshould
be followed to assure that both the replace
and glass door retain their beauty and function
properly.Boththeuedamperandglassdoors
mustbefullyopenedbeforestartingre.Thiswill
providesufcientcombustionairandmaintain
safetemperaturesinrebox.
IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to
warmslowlyandevenly.Thetemperedglasswill
withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550° F,
whichismorethananormalrewillgenerate.
Suchmaterialsaspitch/waxladenlogs,verydry
mill end lumber and large amounts of paper or
cardboard boxes can create an excessively hot
reandshouldnotbeburnedinthisreplace.
Alwayskeeptherewellbackfromthedoors
andneverallowamestocontacttheglass.
WARNING: Fireplaces
equipped with glass doors
should be operated only with
doors fully opened or doors fully
closed. Doors, if left partly open,
may draw gas and ame out of
the replace opening creating
risks of both re and smoke.
Cleaning Glass
Cleanglasswithanycommercialglasscleaner
or soap and water. Do not use any abrasive
materialtocleanglass.Donotcleanglasswith
anycoolwaterifglassisstillhotfromthere

PUREFIRE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

TheEPAqualifyinglabel,shownonpage18,
willbeafxedtothecatalyst.Beforelighting
therstre,removeandmaintainthislabelin
a safe place if needed for permits or building
inspection.Priortobeginninginstallation,con-
tactyourlocalbuildingofcialtodeterminethe
need to obtain a permit. For proper operation,
catalyst must be replace every 3 to 5 years.
FUELING GUIDELINES
Thereplacegratemustalwaysbesecured
totheretainingbracketsprovided.Theposi-
tion of the grate must be centered against the
backwalloftherebox.
Burn only dry, seasoned (cured) wood with
less than 20% moisture.Avoid the use of
treated,paintedandlaminatedwood.Never
burngarbageorotherforeignmaterials.Do
notusearticiallogs,colorednewspaperor
petroleumbasedrestarters.Avoidwoodwith
highsaltcontent.Allofthesematerialsmay
contain compounds which can shorten the
life of the catalyst. Wet or unseasoned wood
may lower catalytic temperatures and result
ininefcientoperation.
Thecatalystisdesignedtofunctionatopti-
mumefciencywhenthereplaceisburning
clean, dry, cord wood as replace fuel.A
simple visual inspection of the chimney dur-
ing the wood burning process will determine
catalyst performance.
The fuel load should always be placed on
theback ofthegrate. Usecleandry wood,
seasoned cord wood is the best choice.
Neverburntrash,plastics,gasoline,rubber,
industrialsolvents,ammableliquids,naptha,
household garbage, material treated with
petroleum products, leaves, paper products,
cardboard or salt driftwood.
RefertoyourINNOVATIVEHEARTHPROD-
UCTSHomeowner's Guide included with your
replaceforproperrebuildingtechniqueand
ashremovalprocedures.Thesefuelingguide-
lines must be followed in order to achieve
maximum emissions performance from the
PureFireSystem.
OPERATION
Theproperuseofawoodburningreplace
equipped with the catalyst will signicantly
reducetheemissionsthatitproduces.Simple
fuel considerations with regard to moisture
content, size, and quality of fuel will help
control the production of wood smoke and
improve the performance of the catalyst and
replace efciency. With proper care, the
catalyst will provide years of fuel savings
and lowered emissions. By following some
simple guidelines, you will ensure maximum
performance and longevity.
Thesmoke thatisusually seencomingout
of a chimney is essentially a combination of
unburned fuel (carbon and hydrogen) and
moistureintheformofwatervapor.Thecata-
lyst is a technology that provides secondary
combustion for the wood burning process.
MAINTENANCE
ThePureFireSystemisamaintenancefree
technology.Donotattempttoremoveorclean
thecombustor.Thedirectamefromthere
will clean the combustor. Only a certified
technicianshouldremovetheunit.Toensure
properreplaceoperation,thePureFireSys-
tem should be replaced every 3 to 5 years
(see Parts on page 20).
NOTE:Chimneysmokemaybevisibleduring
therst8to10minutesofreplaceoperation
whenthereis rstgettingstartedandthe
nal8to10minutesofoperationwhilethere
isdissipating.Undernormaloperatingcondi-
tions, you should see little or no smoke coming
out of the chimney. If continuous smoke is
visible, make sure only dry seasoned wood
isbeingburned.Ifvisiblesmokecontinues,
the combustor has ceased to function or
