Unless the chimney is to be offset, the point where the center line of the chimney will pass through the ceiling and roof can be determined with a plumb line as shown in Figure 10. The fireplace should be located in the planned installation position.
624WBPF Woodburning Fireplace CHIMNEY OFFSET INSTALLATION Offset Installation Sequence 1. Determine the location and amount of offset required, then select the combinations of chimney sections and elbows required from the offset chart. Refer to Page 15. 2. Install the first elbow by placing the extended flue into the mating part of the fireplace or chimney section. Push down until the outside or inlet air duct of the elbow overlaps and the snaps lock the elbow into the fireplace or chimney section. 3.

FIREPLACE OPERATION 624WBPF Woodburning Fireplace WARNING: If a decorative gas appliance is used in the fireplace the fireplace damper must be fixed in an open position. (See additional operation information in section titled “Operation Guidelines”.) Advantages of a Wood Burning Fireplace These are the practical, ecological advantages of wood as a fuel. Also to be considered is the aesthetic appeal. Most of us consider a wood fire with nostalgia.
624WBPF Woodburning Fireplace FIREPLACE OPERATION You’ll need a minimum of three logs, preferably four, to make a good fire. Add kindling and new logs as needed to rekindle a dying fire. New logs should be added at the rear grate after raking the coals toward the front. DO NOT OVERFIRE THE FIREPLACE. Overfire conditions may be created by large amounts of kindling, building scraps, or other improper fuels.
MAINTENANCE & SAFETY 624WBPF Woodburning Fireplace Fuel Storage Wood can be dried sufficiently for burning within a few weeks if protected form rain in a low humidity area. It is far better to cut wood and allow it to dry for a year. In all cases, the wood should be stacked so that both ends of the sticks are exposed to the air and protected from rain. The drier the wood, the more usable heat produced by the fire and less likely rapid accumulation of soot and creosote within the chimney is to occur.
624WBPF Woodburning Fireplace MAINTENANCE & SAFETY Fireplace Maintenance At the end of each heating season or when the fireplace will not be in use for an extended time, the ashes should be removed and the hearth area should be swept as clean as is practical. The slow absorption of moisture into the ashes over a long period of time could cause a condition which would be corrosive to the metal fireplace parts.
MAINTENANCE & SAFETY 624WBPF Woodburning Fireplace DONT’S 1. Don’t allow other installations or operation considerations to take priority over safety considerations. 2. Don’t attempt to use the fireplace until the installation is complete. 3. Don’t use unlisted parts and accessories with the fireplace except for special flashings that may be fabricated locally. 4. Don’t use damaged parts or accessories with this fireplace. 5. Don’t install the fireplace in an exposed or uninsulated area. 6.
