Section 1.0 Pre-Installation Requirements 1.1 Masonry & Zero Clearance Requirements The masonry fireplace must meet the minimum code requirements, or NFPA 211 or the equivalent for a safe installation. Contact your local Building Inspector for requirements in your area. An inspection of the fireplace should include the following: 1.
1.2 Venting Requirements The flue is a critical component to a satisfactory installation. Your insert will attain its best performance if installed with a flue that generates its own draft. The minimum venting requirement will be the installation of a flue connector from the insert into the first tile of the chimney (see Figure 2.3).
Section 2.0 Installation 2.1 Safety information NOTE: THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN A HOME IF AN OCCUPANT HAS ANY RESPIRATORY OR ANY OTHER RELATED PROBLEMS. 1. It is important to follow the installation and operation instructions. An improperly installed or operated insert could result in a safety hazard or fire, or damage to the unit, which would not be covered by the warranty. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation requirements in your area.
2.2 Installation instructions Inspect the masonry fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary. 2.3 Compliance of the masonry fireplace Where the masonry fireplace opening is 6 ft2 (0.56 m2) or larger, the hearth extension shall extend at least 20'' (508 mm) in front of the facing material and at least 12'' (305 mm) beyond each side of the fireplace opening. Where the masonry fireplace opening is less than 6 ft2 (0.
2.4 The masonry fireplace's draft control system If the fireplace's draft control system is to remain in the masonry fireplace, it must be locked open for access of the chimney liner or removed entirely. If you remove draft control system from the masonry hearth, you will need to install the metal plate (27009), supplied with the owner’s manual kit, indicating that the masonry hearth has been modified. It must be secured inside the masonry hearth, in a visible place and easy to locate. 2.
2.6 Positioning the unit In addition to ensuring compliance of the masonry fireplace hearth extension (see Compliance of the masonry fireplace in Section 2.3), it is necessary to have a floor protection made of non-combustible materials that meets the measurements specified in table FLOOR PROTECTION (see Section 2.7).
If a non-combustible material floor protection needs to be added in front and level with the hearth extension masonry fireplace (see Figure 2.6a), an R factor equal to or greater than 1.00 is required. If the extension of the masonry hearth is raised at least 4" from the floor protection (see Figure 2.6b), a non-combustible material without an R factor is sufficient. Figure 2.6a Figure 2.
The use of an R value is convenient when more than one material is going to be used in the hearth extension to cover the combustible surface. This is because R values are additive, whereas K values are not. To find the corresponding R factor to use for some selected materials, please see Table Thermal characteristics of common floor protection materials in this section. There are two ways to calculate the R factor of the floor protection.
The more extended the insert, the greater the heat transfer to the room. When installed as an extended insert, the front edge of the air jacket will be installed flush with the fireplace facing. Otherwise the unit can be moved back as much as 2 1/8" (44 mm) or any position in between. The position chosen will depend on your own preference for most installations, your current configuration, the compliance with the preceding installation instructions and compliance with the building code requirements.

2.8 Connector installation A masonry flue connector may provide acceptable performance (Figure 2.8a); however, we recommend the use of a chimney liner (rigid or flexible) to ensure satisfactory performance (Figure 2.8b). To ensure an optimal draft, we also strongly recommend adding a minimum of 18” rigid liner between the roof flashing and the rain cap. Slip connectors for continuous liners should also be installed. Use Listed Chimney Liners – UL1777, CAN/ULC-S635. Figure 2.8a Figure 2.
2.8.1 Chimney liner installation To install of the chimney liner, the preferred methods are those found in Section 2.8.1.1. Use a liner offset adapter (Section 2.8.1.2) only as a last resort. 2.8.1.1 If the chimney liner does align with the insert’s flue outlet, you have two options: A) Install the chimney liner starter adapter, provided with the chimney liner. Follow the chimney liner starter adapter manufacturer's instructions.
2.8.1.2 If the chimney liner does not align with the insert’s flue outlet: You can get a liner offset adapter (AC01370), sold separately. If you must install a liner offset adapter, using a powered driver, secure the three brackets with the three screws provided 30131 on top of the insert in the three holes in front of the flue outlet. The long end of the brackets must be attached to the insert. The brackets and screws are in the insert’s instruction manual kit.
2.9 Air control plate, faceplate and fan Assembly Instructions 1. Place the faceplate panels with the finished side down on a flat, soft, non-abrasive surface. 2. Assemble the faceplate trim, attaching the mitered corners with the corner brackets. (see Figure 2.9a) 3. Line up the holes of the side and top panels and secure with the six (6) screws, washers and nuts. (see Figure 2.9b) 4. Slide the assembled trim over the edges of the faceplate. 5. Secure trim to faceplate using eight (8) "U" shaped clips.
2.10 Adapter for fresh air kit installation instructions 1- Open the rectangular outlet on the side of the unit by gently removing the material held in place by micro joints. Use pliers. Note : The fresh air intake may be installed on the right or left end side of the unit. 2- Install the fresh air intake adapter with four (4) screws.
Section 3.0 Operation 3.1 Safety Information 1. This insert is designed for safe operation WHEN BURNING CORDWOOD ONLY. Altering or modifying the unit or the installation without proper authorization will void the certification, warranty, and safety listing, and may result in a safety hazard. 2. For safety reasons, never leave the unit unattended with the door open or ajar.
air leakage into the unit, such as through deteriorated gaskets or cracked or broken glass. Do not operate the insert without a door gasket. Leakage can result in overheating, or in very airtight homes, could possibly cause smoke spillage into the room. Smoke may contain carbon monoxide, which is poisonous, and in sufficient quantities is a health hazard. 11. We recommend that you have a fresh air or make up air supply for the insert. In Canada this is a building code requirement.
5. Decayed wood or low density wood has very little energy content or heating value, and will not burn satisfactorily for long periods of time. An example of the energy values of some common wood fuels is given in Table 3.2 For recommended wood sizes, refer to the specifications. Common Heating Values of Cordwood Hardwoods Birch White Oak Alder Million Btu/Cord 23.6 28.3 17.6 Table 3.2 3.2.1 Simple Wood Moisture Test Softwoods Douglas Fir Hemlock Jack Pine Million Btu/Cord 20.6 17.1 18.
4. Set the draft control at high,(see Table3.4) 5. Light a fire at the bottom of the crumpled paper and close the door. If the fire tends to go out, momentarily hold the door slightly ajar to fan the fire. As soon as the fire catches hold, close the door. 6. Ideally the large kindling should be burned until a thick bed of red embers is obtained. At that point, add cordwood fuel and continue to operate the draft control wide open until the fire is well established.
3.5 Maintaining The Fire Your Enerzone insert will work best if a thick bed of hot embers is maintained in the bottom of the firebox, and a minimum of two large pieces of seasoned fuel are added. Combustion efficiency is largely related to establishing a hot ember bed, and hot firebox temperatures. The quicker the insert and fuel get up to operating temperature, the better.
Section 4.0 Maintenance 4.1 Care And Cleaning Clean the insert frequently so that soot, ash and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean the insert, glass or door when the unit is hot. Special care must be taken with plated surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance. Do not use an abrasive glass cleaner which will scratch the glass or plated finish. Use only a soft clean damp cloth on the door, since some cleaners may remove the plating or paint. 4.1.
4.2 Ash Removal CAUTION: Ashes can start fires, even after several days of inactivity. Never dispose of ashes in a combustible container. Remove ashes only when the insert and ashes are cold. Ashes should be removed from the insert frequently. When ashes are removed, they should be placed in a metal container with a tightly fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
All firebrick and duraboard baffles must be properly in place for correct burning operation. Have any damaged firebricks replaced. Check the firebricks annually for damage and replace if they are broken or damaged. See Figure 4.4.2a and 4.4.2b for the firebrick layout. Install the side & back firebricks first, and then the bottom firebricks. Figure 4.4.2a Firebrick layout for 2.
Figure 4.4.2b – Firebrick layout for 1.
4.5 Secondary Air Tube Replacement (see Figure 4.5) 1. Remove cotter pin at RH end of tube. 2. Slide tube to left and lower tube end below RH plenum. 3. Slide tube to right to remove. 4. Reassemble in reverse order using a new cotter pin. The cotter pin is a hammerlock style and locks into place by hitting the head sharply with a hammer. 5. Note that any tube can be replaced without disturbing the baffle.
4.6 Fan Maintenance & Care Clean the fan air inlet louvres and squirrel cage impeller regularly. The fan should be kept clean and dust free. Life of the fan will be shortened if operated in a dust filled environment, or if the fan is overheated by restricting air supply. Stalling the rotor, or over firing the insert with the fan turned off will also damage the fan. The fan must not be overheated. Do not disassemble the fan. "ALTERING OR TAMPERING WITH THE FAN WILL VOID THE WARRANTY". 4.
