Safety Clearances READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING THIS APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH. Masonry or Factory Built Fireplace The minimum required clearances to surrounding combustible materials when installed into a masonry or factory built fireplace are listed below and in Fig. #1. We strongly recommend that smoke detectors be installed.
* Fireplace hearth requirements: (Measured without the insert) The hearth can be flush with an adjacent combustible floor and must extend 16” in front and 8” beyond each side of the fireplace opening.
Creosote Formation and Need for Removal In Case of a Chimney Fire 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 Normal 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.
Over Firing Over firing can be caused by operating the unit with the door open, damage to door gaskets allowing excess air to enter the firebox, the use of kiln dried lumber, mill ends or paper waste and prolonged or continual use on a high burn setting. More Wood, More Heat Seasoned wood has approximately 7500 BTU’s per pound. If you put 10 pounds of wood in your stove for an eight hour burn the wood will be producing 9375 BTU’s per hour. (7500 BTU x 10 lbs / 8 hrs. = 9375 BTU’s per hr.).
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.
Blower Replacement 1. Remove the surround front by lifting and pulling away from the unit. Remove the four screws securing the back surround to the brackets and set them aside carefully to avoid damage. 2. Remove the surround mounting bracket by removing the two screws securing the bracket to the side casing of the unit. Fig. #2 (may require the unit to be pulled out slightly.) 5. Pull the blower mounting bracket bottom out first and then lift the blower up and back to remove from the bolts.
The power cord for the NEO 1.6 Insert comes factory set to exit the right side of the unit. If you desire, the cord can be switched to exit to the left of the unit. The cord will lose approximately 12” of length when exiting the left side of the unit. Fig. # 5 Follow these instructions to switch the cord direction. 1. Remove the two screws securing the control assembly to the unit and then disconnect the wires leading to the right side blower. Fig. #5 2.
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 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.
Installation Fig. #5 Your Insert is designed to be installed into an approved masonry or factory built zero-clearance fireplace. The masonry fireplace must be built according to the requirements of the Standard of Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning appliances, N.F.P.A. 211 (Latest Edition) or applicable National, Provincial, State or local codes. The installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.
4) Push the Insert into position inside the fireplace and attach the flue collar to the opening in the top of the insert firebox. Use the rear adjusting legs to level the Insert. Fig. #6 5) Measure, trim and shape a top flashing to fit the existing chimney flue. Plan for a 1” to 1-1/2” overlap on each side. Place flashing over top of the liner and seat firmly against the tile. Direct Flue Connection Mantel or Top Facing Chimney Flue Liner 6) Screw flashing collar to liner.
Combustion Air Surround Assembly and Installation Consult local building codes regarding combustion air supply. Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the Insert in one of two ways: 1) Attach the surround back to the surround mounting brackets on the unit with the four screws provided.Fig. #7 1) Outside air supply: Remove cover from ash clean out in existing fireplace. Place a rodent screen in place of the cover.
Blower The Insert comes equipped with variable speed circulating air blowers. The blower system is thermostatically controlled for automatic operation, as well manually with a convenient bypass switch. Blower Operation Automatic: To operate the blower automatically, push the rocker switch to the “0” or AUTO position and set the fan speed control to a desired setting. This will allow the blower to turn on automatically once the Insert has come up to operating temperature.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Cure Excessive Creosote Buildup 1) Wood is too wet - Use dry wood 2) Turning down air control too soon - Do not turn down until: a) there is a good bed of coals b) the wood is charred 3) Draft too low - Improper chimney height and/or diameter - Chimney plugged or restricted, check flue - Provide outside air for combustion Glass is Dirty Low Heat Output Won't Burn Overnight Stove Won't Burn 1) See 1, 2, and 3 above 2) Door Gasket leakage - Replace gasket - Check l
