2.4 Combustion Air Control
The Combustion Air Control is a patented mechanism (Patent No: US
7,325,541 B2) that regulates the air flow into the firebox based on the
temperature of the unit. It is located on the top of the firebox, at the front
center of the unit. The combustion air control of the Elegance ST has two
components: the Activator and the Burn Rate Selector (see Figure 2-1).
The left combustion control lever is the Activator. When starting a fire or
adding a new load of wood, the Activator must be pushed in to allow a
primary source of air to enter the firebox. The Activator will retract
automatically with heat. The right combustion control lever is the Burn
Rate Selector. The Burn Rate Selector can slide sideways to achieve
different burn rates. When the Burn Rate Selector is positioned to the left,
a maximum burn rate is achieved and when it is positioned to the right, a
minimum burn rate is set.
WARNING: Never manipulate the Combustion Air Control with bare hands
as it gets hot when the Elegance ST is in operation. Use the Cold Hand Key
(see Section 2.5) to adjust the Combustion Air Control.
2.5 Cold Hand Key
The Cold Hand Key is an accessory that comes standard with the Elegance ST
fireplace (Figure 2-2). The Cold Hand Key is a tool used to manipulate the
Combustion Air Control Levers when they are hot.
2.6 Baffle Secondary Burn Technology
The baffle system (38SFD1150) of the Elegance ST fireplace
is located within the upper portion of the firebox and is
fastened by 8 bolts (3/8 Hex). SUPREME baffle systems are
constructed out a specific grade of stainless steel capable of
withstanding high-temperature conditions. The secondary
combustion air is drawn into the baffle system, pre-heated,
and distributed below the lower plate, allowing for a cluster of
small flames flowing downwards. This effect is more visible in
the minimum burn rates. For optimal performance, it is
recommended to clean any creosote build-up on the lower
plate of the baffle system.
2.7 Chimney Sweeping Cap
The chimney sweeping cap found at the baffle of the Elegance
ST allows easy access for chimney sweeping without having
to remove any components of the firebox (Figure 2-4).
WARNING: The chimney sweeping cap should be
blocking the access to the chimney at all times during
combustion. A chimney sweeping capthat is not blocking
the baffle hole during combustion is a safety hazard, will
overheat the fireplace and void the warranty.

2.8 Door
The Elegance ST wood burning fireplace comes with a Pyroceramic glass panel door. Pyroceramic is the highest
grade available for fireplaces and stoves and can withstand temperatures up to 1300oF. To remove the door,
open the door, lift it and pull it towards the bottom until the rod exits from the hinge holes.
2.9 Certification Label
The certification label contains important information regarding the
installation and operation of the Elegance ST fireplace. In addition, the
serial number of the unit is permanently embossed onto the top right
corner. See Figure 2-5 for the location of the certification label.
2.10 Removable Ash Lip
The Ash Lip is a removable accessory that comes standard with the
Elegance ST fireplace. It is installed on the door holder (under the two
small pins below the door) and prevents ashes from falling onto the front
of the hearth. The Ash Lip can be installed with the door open or closed.
It is safe to operate the unit without the Ash Lip.
NOTE: The door of the Elegance ST must always remain closed during operation.
2.11 Soapstone Interior
The Elegance ST stainless steel firebox is lined with soapstone panels for an extra layer of durability and
strength. Designed to provide long-lasting heat and thermal protection, soapstone offers unparalleled
advantages in a fireplace beyond its natural aesthetics: it radiates five times more heat and absorbs 15% more
heat when compared to firebrick.
2.12 Blower Kit
An AC tangential blower (electrical rating: 115V, 60Hz, and 56W) with a variable speed control is installed into
the Elegance ST wood burning fireplace to maximize efficiency. Refer to Section 3.9 for installation instructions.
WARNING: Make certain that the fireplace in not in operation and the blower is unplugged (breaker off)
before accessing the electrical wiring of the blower kit.
CAUTION: Only a blower provided by SUPREME FIREPLACES INC. can be installed into the fireplace.
Substituting the blower kit may result in overheating, will void the warranty and can be hazardous.
2.13 Optional Hot Air Kit
The Optional Hot Air Kit (kit number SU250) allows heatto be drawn from the unit by a thermostatically controlled
blower (electrical rating: 115 V and 60 Hz) and dispersed to different areas of the house. This option is
recommended when the fireplace is installed in an area below the maximum heating space. A total of three kits
can be installed onto one unit with a maximum distance of 25 feet each. Note that a 5 inch insulated duct (part
number UCAC5) is required for the installation (item ordered separately). Refer to Section 4.1 for installation
instructions.
WARNING: Make certain that the fireplace in not in operation and that hot air blower is not powered
(breaker off) before accessing the electrical wiring of the hot air kit.
CAUTION: Only a hot air kit provided by SUPREME FIREPLACES INC. can be installed onto the fireplace.
Substituting the hot air kit may result in overheating, will void the warranty and can be hazardous.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing the unit, consult an authority having
jurisdiction (such as your municipal building department,
your fire department, your fire prevention department...)
for any local codes and whether a permit is required. In
the absence of local codes, refer to the CSA B365
Installation Code for Solid Burning Appliances and
Equipment (Canada) or the ANSI NFPA 211 Standard
for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning
Appliances (USA). CAUTION:
Modifications/alterations to the unit/installation
without written authorization from SUPREME
FIREPLACES INC. are strictly forbidden and will void
the warranty. Refer to Section 1 for further safety
information. Carefully read the instructions below before
installing your Elegance ST.
3.1 Location
Determine the location of the Elegance ST by taking into
consideration the following criteria:
•The size of the room with respect to the heat output of
the fireplace.
•The proximity of windows, doors, and traffic flow.
•The necessary amount of space in front of the unit for
the hearth extension and mantel (Refer to Sections 3.6
and 3.8).
•The clearances to combustible materials.
•The passage of the chimney.
If possible, select a location for the fireplace that will minimize the number of offsets in the chimney course.
Offsets will reduce the draft, complicate the chimney sweeper’s work, and increase installation costs. Do not
install an offset directly onto the unit/anchor plate. Technical drawings outlining the chimney route should be
prepared prior to the installation. NOTE: The cutting of joists and rafters for floor, ceiling, and roof chimney
penetrations will affect the load bearing capacities of the dwelling structure. To determine whether additional
support is required, consult your local building codes. Improper cutting of chimney openings in the attic and roof
will affect the bearing and thermal insulating capacity, as well as the weather tightness of the dwelling. Avoid
incorrect workmanship by consulting a professional engineer or a certified installer.
Through examination of the floor construction, ensure that the fireplace and chimney system is resting on a
surface capable of withstanding its weight. Consult your building codes to see whether additional structural
supports are required (applicable for rare and isolated cases).
Avoid having the chimney outlet near any obstructions (such as trees and roof offsets) as the draft of the chimney
may be affected by wind turbulence. Ideally position the outlet of the chimney at the highest area of the roof.
NOTE: Install a carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke detector near the location of the unit with respect to
the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction in your area.

3.4 Framing
The Elegance ST can be placed directly onto or against normal, combustible construction materials such as
lumber, plywood, millboard, particleboard, drywall, and decorative wood paneling. WARNING: The fireplace
should NOT be placed directly against or be in contact with an insulation material. The framing on the
face of the chase, as well as above the unit, must be constructed with nominal 2" x 3" or 2" x 4" metal studs.
Note that any framing exceeding the 2.75” lateral standoffs can be constructed of 2" x 3" or 2" x 4" lumber. Refer
to Figure 3-9 for examples of a framing design based on the surround configuration. The framing must be nailed
or screwed onto the floor and to the ceiling.
Note a minimum distance from the ceiling to the top louver frame of 2”and from the base of the unit to the bottom
louver frame of 76.5”.
CAUTION: Respect the minimum framing requirements outlined in Figure 3-9 as well as the chimney
manufacturer’s clearances to combustibles.
WARNING: Do not nail or screw framing components onto the fireplace.
