Maintenance Checks Check the following parts for damage such as cracks, excessive corrosion, burned out sections and excessive warping: (See website for descriptions and more detail) Weekly: - Firebrick - Visual, for cracking. - Door Gasket - sagging, placement, damage. Monthly - Brick rail tabs and brick rails. - Air riser tube in the back of the firebox. - Back side of airwash chamber. - Baffle locking pin. - Boost tube cover. When Cleaning the Chimney System: - Top baffle board/blanket. - Baffle.
WARNING: carefully. Maintenance 1. Burn wood only, dry and well seasoned. The denser or heavier the wood when dry, the greater its heat value. This is why hardwoods are generally preferred. Green or wet wood will cause a rapid buildup of creosote. If you feel it is necessary to burn wet or unseasoned wood, do so only with the air inlet set open enough to maintain a good strong fire and fairly high chimney temperatures. Do not attempt to burn overnight using green or wet wood.
Creosote Formation and Need for Removal When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
Operation Wood Selection This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or too green or freshly cut hardwoods. Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months or more. Wet or undried wood will cause the fire to smoulder and produce large amounts of creosote. Wet wood also produces very little heat and tends to go out often.
Restarting After Extended or Overnight Burns 1) Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the heater. Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of embers, close door. 2) Adjust air control to “H” (high) position (pushed to the far left) and in just a few minutes, logs should begin burning. 3) After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
Safety Clearances Please read this entire manual before installation Masonry or Factory Built Fireplace and use of this wood burning insert. Failure to follow The minimum required clearances to surrounding combustible these instructions could result in property damage, materials when installed into a masonry or factory built fireplace bodily injury or even death. are listed below and in figure #1. We strongly recommend that smoke detectors be installed.
* Fireplace hearth requirements: (Measured without the insert) The non-combustible fireplace hearth must be raised 50mm above an adjacent combustible floor and extend 400mm in front and 200mm beyond each side of the existing fireplace opening.

be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame if necessary to accommodate a chimney liner, provided that their removal will not weaken the structure of the fireplace and chimney, and will not reduce protection for combustible materials to less than that required by the National Building Code. The Insert must be installed in accordance with local and or national building codes. The two methods of flue connection that are acceptable in most areas are: Fig.
Chimney and Connector WARNING: INSTALL CHIMNEY AND ALL COMPONENTS OF CHIMNEY SYSTEM ACCORDING TO CHIMNEY MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS. Connect to a listed chimney complying with the requirements of AS/NZS2918/2001 and a chimney suitable for use with solid fuel that is lined and in good condition and meets local building codes. The chimney flue size should be the same as the stove outlet for optimal performance. Reducing or increasing the flue size may adversely affect stove performance.
Fig. # 6 two ways: 1) Outside air (O/A) supply: Remove cover from ash clean out in existing fireplace. Place a rodent screen in place of the cover. Install the Insert as described in the installation section, making sure not to cover the opening of the air inlet. When installation is complete, seal surround to fireplace and anywhere else air may enter. This will ensure combustion air is drawn from outside the house and into the 229mm x 51mm intake at the lower rear of the appliance.
