• Theﬁrstthreeorfourﬁresshouldbeofmoderatesize to

allowtheoilsandbindersto be burned fromtheﬁreplace

and the refractory and paint to cure. You may notice

an industrial odor the ﬁrst few ﬁres. This is considered

normal.

• Use well-seasoned wood.

• Open the ﬂue damper to a fully open position.

• Place crumpled or twisted paper under the ﬁreplace

grate.

• Looselyarrangekindlingorsmallpiecesofwoodto form

a ‘tent’ on the ﬁreplace grate.

• Pre-warm the ﬂue to establish a draft to help reduce

smoke spillage during start-up. Hold a rolled up piece

of burning newspaper under the ﬂue damper for a few

moments.

• Light the crumpled paper to ignite the kindling.

• Add small pieces of wood until a hot bed of embers has

been established.

• Add a minimum of three average size pieces of split

ﬁrewood, placed to allow combustion air and ﬂames

between them.

C. Starting a Fire

NOTICE: You must establish a good draft to prevent smoke

spillage into the room.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Keep combustible materials,

gasoline and other ﬂammable vapors and liquids clear of

the ﬁreplace.

DO NOT:

• store ﬂammable materials close to the ﬁreplace

• use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter

ﬂuid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a ﬁre in this

ﬁreplace.

Keepallﬂammableliquidswellawayfrom the ﬁreplacewhile

it is in use. Combustible materials may ignite.

B. Seasoned Wood

Properly seasoned wood is important for successful

operation of your ﬁreplace. Most woodburning ﬁreplace

problems are caused by burning wet, unseasoned wood.

Seasoned ﬁrewood is wood that is cut to size, split and air

dried to a moisture content of around 20%.

Imagine a wooden bucket that weighs about eight

pounds. Fill it with a gallon of water, put it in the ﬁreplace

and try to burn it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly

what you are doing if you burn unseasoned wood.

A tree cut down a year ago and not split is likely to have

almost as high a moisture content now as it did when it

was cut.

Please refer to Section 2.M. for more detail.

CAUTION! Odors and vapors released during initial

operation may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

Open windows for air circulation.

D. Grate

This ﬁreplace is designed to be used with the grate sup-

plied with this unit or one approved by HHT. The grate will

break down over time and will need occasional replace-

ment.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use only the factory-supplied

integral grate.

• Keeps logs in place.

• Allows proper air circulation around the ﬁre.

E. Firescreen

The ﬁrescreen is provided to control sparks. Keep it

closed when the ﬁreplace is in use.

WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns!

• Screen will not prevent burning materials from falling

out.

• Screen pulls or handles may be hot.

F. Flue Damper

• Refer to Figure 2.1 for location of control.

• Must be in fully open position (handle up toward the top

of the ﬁreplace) during operation of the ﬁreplace.

• Before lighting the ﬁreplace, verify fully open position by

looking up from the inside of the ﬁreplace.

WARNING! Risk of Fire and Asphyxiation! Open

damper prior to operating ﬁreplace. A closed damper

overﬁres the ﬁreplace and spills smoke and ﬂames

into the room.

G.Refractory

• The refractory is supplied to contain heat and provide

an attractive interior.

• It will break down over time and will need occasional

replacement.Smallhairlinecracksanddiscolorationare

normal and do not affect its safety.

• (See refractory maintenance Section 3.C.)

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT burn ﬁreplace with-

out refractory. Use only refractory supplied by Hearth &

Home Technologies, Inc.

CORRECT CORRECT INCORRECT

Figure 2.2 Operating Positions of Bi-fold Doors

WARNING! Risk of Fire and Smoke! Fireplaces

equipped with doors should be operated only with

doors fully open or doors fully closed. If doors are left

partly open, gas and ﬂame may be drawn out of the

ﬁreplace opening.

I. Outside Air (optional)

The outside air kit supplies some combustion air for your

ﬁreplace. It may help reduce the effects of negative air

pressure. (See Section 5.D.)

• Refer to Figure 2.1 for location of control

• Close the inlet to prevent cold drafts when the ﬁreplace

is not being used.

CAUTION! Risk of Burns! The outside air control

handle is HOT when ﬁreplace is in operation. Adjust

BEFORE lighting ﬁre.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Install ONLY doors ap-

proved by Hearth & Home Technologies, Inc.

• Glass doors are optional.

• Refer to Figure 2.2 for how to properly use them.

M.Wood Fuel

Hardwood vs Softwood

Your ﬁreplace performance depends on the quality of the

ﬁrewood you use.

• Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per pound

• Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.

• Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods.

• Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower

and are harder to ignite.

• Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are

easier to ignite.

• Start the ﬁre with soft wood to bring the ﬁreplace up to

operating temperature and to establish draft.

• Add hard wood for slow, even heat and longer burn

time.

The majority of the problems ﬁreplace owners experience

are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.

• Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate

the water instead of heating your home, and

• Evaporating moisture cools your chimney, accelerating

formation of creosote.

WARNING! Risk of Fire!

• DO NOT burn wet or green wood.

• Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of

creosote.

Moisture

Soft woods Hard woods

• Douglas Fir • Oak

• Pine • Maple

• Spruce • Apple

• Cedar • Birch

• Poplar

• Aspen

• Alder

Storing Wood

Steps to ensure properly seasoned wood:

• Stack wood to allow air to circulate freely around and

through woodpile.

• Elevate wood pile off ground to allow air circulation

underneath.

• Smaller pieces of wood dry faster. Any piece over 6 in.

(152 mm) in diameter should be split.

• Wood (whole or split) should be stacked so both ends

of each peice are exposed to air. More drying occurs

through the cut ends than the sides.

• Store wood under cover to prevent water absorbtion

from rain or snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends

completely.

Seasoned Wood

• Cut logs to size

• Split to 6 in. (152 mm) or less

• Air dry to a moisture content of around 20%

- Soft wood - about nine months

- Hard wood - about eighteen months

NOTICE: Seasoningtimemayvarydependingon drying

conditions.

WARNING! Fire Risk! DO NOT store wood:

• In front of the ﬁreplace.

• In space required for loading or ash removal.

Processed Solid Fuel Firelogs

Manufactured ﬁrelogs may be used with this ﬁreplace.

Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends the use of

UL Classiﬁed processed fuel ﬁrelogs. Follow the manufac-

turer’s lighting and safety instructions.

Using ﬁrelogs may require more frequent chimney inspec-

tion and cleaning.

Do not poke or stir the logs while they are burning. Use

only ﬁrelogs that have been evaluated for the application

in manufactured ﬁreplaces and refer to ﬁrelog warnings

and caution markings on packaging prior to use.
