SAFETY Continued

Overﬁring of a ﬁreplace is a condition where excessive

temperatures are reached, beyond the design capabilities

of the appliance. The damage that occurs from overﬁring

is not covered under the manufacturer’s limited warranty.

WARNING: CONTINUED OVERFIRING CAN PER-

MANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR FIREPLACE SYSTEM.

SOME EXAMPLES OF CONDITIONS THAT COULD

CAUSE OVERFIRING ARE:

• BURNINGQUANTITIESOFSCRAPLUMBER,PINE

BRANCHES, PAPER OR CARDBOARD BOXES

WHICHEXCEEDTHEVOLUMEOFTHENORMAL

LOGFIRE.

• BURNINGTRASH,CHEMICALSOR CHEMICALLY

TREATEDCOMBUSTIBLES.

Disposal of Ashes

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-

ﬁtting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed

onanoncombustibleoororontheground,wellaway

from all combustible materials, pending ﬁnal disposal.

If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise

locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed

container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

WHEN USING THE DECORATIVE APPLIANCE, THE

FIREPLACE DAMPER MUST BE SET IN THE FULLY

OPEN POSITION.

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kero-

sene,charcoallighteruid,orsimilarliquidstostart

or ’freshen up’ a ﬁre in this ﬁreplace. Keep all such

liquids well away from the ﬁreplace while it is in use.

Use SOLID WOOD only for fuel. It is best to use dry

and well seasoned hardwood. Softwoods tend to burn

very quickly. DO NOT use treated wood, charcoal, coal,

trash, driftwood or woods that have been dipped in

tar, pitch, pine tar, creosote, etc. Wood products made

with synthetic binders, such as plywood, produce ab-

normally high temperatures and sputtering, smoking

ﬁres. When burning artiﬁcial logs, please read and

follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Never burn treated construction lumber or scraps.

These woods burn excessively hot and may contain

chemicals used to treat insects and fungus. When

burned, these chemicals can pose a signiﬁcant hazard.

WARNING: BURNING IMPROPER FUEL (I.E. CHAR-

COAL) CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISON-

ING, WHICH MAY LEAD TO DEATH!

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning – Early signs of carbon

monoxidepoisoningresembletheuwithheadaches,

dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, get

fresh air at once! Have the appliance inspected by a

qualiﬁed service technician. Some people are more af-

fected by carbon monoxide than others. These include

pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease

oranemia,thoseundertheinuenceofalcohol,and

those at high altitudes.

Ventilation Requirements - Provide adequate air for

combustion. The fresh air requirements of this ap-

pliance must be met within the space where it will

be installed.

Smoke Detectors - Since there are always several

potential sources of ﬁre in any home, we recommend

installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the

smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to

reduce the possibility of occasional false activation

from the heat produced by the appliance). If your local

code requires a smoke detector be installed within the

same room, you must follow the requirements of your

local code. Check with your local building department

for requirements in your area.

Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other

organic vapors, which combine with expelled mois-

ture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense

intherelativelycoolchimneyueofaslow-burning

ﬁre. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on

theuelining.Whenignitedthiscreosotemakesan

extremely hot ﬁre.

The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a year

during the heating season to determine when a creosote

buildup has occurred. When creosote has accumulated

(1/8" [3 mm] or more) it shall be removed to reduce

the risk of a chimney ﬁre.

WARNING: Children and adults should be alerted

to the hazards of high surface temperatures and to

stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young

children should be carefully supervised when in the

same room as ﬁreplace.

SYSTEM

Eachdoublewallchimneysectionconsistsofagalvanizedouterpipe,a

stainless steel inner ﬂue pipe and a wire spacer. The pipe sections must

be assembled independently as the chimney is installed. When connect-

ing chimney directly to the ﬁreplace, the inner ﬂue pipe section must be

installed ﬁrst with the lanced side up. The outer pipe section can then

beinstalledover5theuepipesectionwiththehemmedendup.Press

down on each pipe section until the lances securely engage the hem on

the ﬁreplace starter. The wire will assure the proper spacing between the

inner and outer pipe sections.

Continuetoassemblechimneysectionsasoutlinedabove,making

sure that both the inner and outer pipe sections are locked together.

When installing double wall snap-lock chimney together, it is impor-

tanttoassurethejointbetweenthechimneysectionsislocked.Check

by pulling chimney upward after locking. The chimney will not come

Firestop spacers are required at each point where the chimney penetrates

a ﬂoor space. Their purpose is to establish and maintain the required

clearance between the chimney and the combustible materials. When the

pipe passes through a framed opening into a living space above, the ﬁre-

stopmustbeplacedontotheceilingfrombelowasshowninFigure12.

They also provide complete separation from one ﬂoor space to another

or attic space as required by most codes. When the double wall pipe

passes through a framed opening into an attic space, the ﬁrestop must

beplacedintoanatticoorasshowninFigure13.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

When penetrating a ceiling into an attic, a ﬁrestop

thimble (FST10) is required to avoid intrusion by insu-

lation and recommended to negotiate a joist.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

GLASS DOORS

Glassdoorsareoptionalwiththereplace.Whenreplaceisinoperation,

doors must be fully opened or fully closed position only or a ﬁre hazard

maybecreated(seeFigure34).

A ﬁreplace equipped with glass doors operates much differently than a

ﬁreplace with an open front. A ﬁreplace with glass doors has a limited

amount of air for combustion.

Excessiveheatwithinthereplacecanresultiftoolargeareisbuiltor

if combustion air gate is not completely open. The following tips should

be followed to assure that both the ﬁreplace and glass door retain their

beauty and function properly. Both the ﬂue damper and glass doors

must be fully opened before starting ﬁre. This will provide sufﬁcient

combustion air and maintain safe temperatures in ﬁrebox.

IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly.

Thetemperedglasswillwithstandagradualtemperatureriseto550°F,

whichismorethananormalrewillgenerate.Suchmaterialsaspitch/

wax laden logs, very dry mill end lumber and large amounts of paper or

cardboard boxes can create an excessively hot ﬁre and should not be

burned in this ﬁreplace. Always keep the ﬁre well back from the doors

and never allow ﬂames to contact the glass.

WARNING: Fireplaces equipped with glass doors

should be operated only with doors fully opened or

doors fully closed. Doors, if left partly open, may draw

gasandameoutofthereplaceopeningcreating

risks of both ﬁre and smoke.

TheEPAqualifyinglabel,shownonpage19,willbeafxedtothe

catalyst. Before lighting the ﬁrst ﬁre, remove and maintain this label

in a safe place if needed for permits or building inspection. Prior to

beginning installation, contact your local building ofﬁcial to determine

the need to obtain a permit. For proper operation, catalyst must be

replaceevery3to5years.

FUELING GUIDELINES

The ﬁreplace grate must always be secured to the retaining brackets

provided. The position of the grate must be centered against the back

wall of the ﬁrebox.

Burnonlydry,seasoned(cured)woodwithlessthan20%moisture.

Avoidtheuseoftreated,paintedandlaminatedwood.Neverburn

garbage or other foreign materials. Do not use artiﬁcial logs, colored

newspaper or petroleum based ﬁre starters. Avoid wood with high

salt content. All of these materials may contain compounds which can

shorten the life of the catalyst. Wet or unseasoned wood may lower

catalytic temperatures and result in inefﬁcient operation.

The catalyst is designed to function at optimum efﬁciency when the

ﬁreplace is burning clean, dry, cord wood as ﬁreplace fuel. A simple

visual inspection of the chimney during the wood burning process

will determine catalyst performance.

The fuel load should always be placed on the back of the grate.

Usecleandrywood,seasonedcordwoodisthebestchoice.Never

burn trash, plastics, gasoline, rubber, industrial solvents, ﬂammable

liquids, naptha, household garbage, material treated with petroleum

products, leaves, paper products, cardboard or salt driftwood.

RefertoyourINNOVATIVEHEARTHPRODUCTS(IHP)Homeowner's

Guideincludedwithyourreplaceforproperrebuildingtechnique

and ash removal procedures. These fueling guidelines must be fol-

lowed in order to achieve maximum emissions performance from

thePureFireSystem.

OPERATION

The proper use of a wood burning ﬁreplace equipped with the catalyst

willsignicantlyreducetheemissionsthatitproduces.Simplefuel

considerations with regard to moisture content, size, and quality of

fuel will help control the production of wood smoke and improve the

performance of the catalyst and ﬁreplace efﬁciency. With proper care,

the catalyst will provide years of fuel savings and lowered emissions.

By following some simple guidelines, you will ensure maximum

performance and longevity.

The smoke that is usually seen coming out of a chimney is essentially

acombinationofunburnedfuel(carbonandhydrogen)andmoisture

in the form of water vapor. The catalyst is a technology that provides

secondary combustion for the wood burning process.

MAINTENANCE

ThePureFireSystemisamaintenancefreetechnology.Donotattempt

to remove or clean the combustor. The direct ﬂame from the ﬁre will

cleanthecombustor.Onlyacertiedtechnicianshouldremovethe

unit.Toensureproperreplaceoperation,thePureFireSystemshould
