SAFETY FIRST

DO'S AND DONT'S

If this fireplace is not properly installed, a house fire could result. For your

safety, follow the installation directions. Contact your local authority having

jurisdiction (such as municipal building department or fire department)

regarding restrictions and installation requirements, and the need to obtain a

permit.

To ANYONE using this fireplace: these DO's and DONT's are for your safety.

1. DO read this instruction manual before lighting your first fire. DO keep these

instructions for future use.

2. DO burn seasoned wood fuel.

3. To avoid glass breakage, DO NOT slam the fireplace door.

4. DO NOT ever use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter

fluid 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.

5. DO NOT overfire the fireplace. Burn a maximum of 4 medium logs (5" diameter)

or 3 large logs (6" diameter) at a time. See complete warning on page 34.

6. DO operate the fireplace with the door either fully closed or fully open with

the firescreen. If the door is left partly open for more than a couple of minutes, it

will increase the burn rate to dangerous levels and permanently damage the

fireplace.

7. If you use the fireplace with the door wide open, DO NOT forget to bring the

firescreen down to prevent logs and sparks from burning your floor. Under no

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

The RUMFORD 1000 fireplace is environmentally friendly and provides a magnificent

view of the fire.

When lined with the optional vermiculite panels, it has met the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Wood Burning Fireplace Program Phase 2

emission level. It is:

 Typically burning at a rate of 4 kg/hr,

 Clean burning with an emission rate of 3.0 g/kg when burned with the door open and

the firescreen closed as tested with ASTM 25581 test protocol,

 Clean burning with an emission rate of 1.0 g/kg when burned with the door closed as

tested with ASTM 25581 test protocol,

 Clean burning with an equivalent emission rate of 4.19 g/hr when burned with the

door closed, and

 An exempt fireplace when tested as per the EPA Stove test protocol. It then obtained

a burn rate well above 5kg/h.

OPTIONS

The RUMFORD 1000 has two options for the bricks that line the interior of the firebox.

One of the two options MUST be installed.

1. Vermiculite panels with a herringbone brick pattern (EO-VP1000). This choice offers

the cleanest burning fireplace on the market and a very classic herringbone look.

Pros: super low emissions, very fast startup.

Cons: Less durable than cement refractory bricks, expect to see wear and cracking

with these bricks over time.

2. Cement refractory bricks with a running bond brick pattern (EO-RB1000) which

offers the most durable solution for the Rumford and a very traditional look.

Pros: Durable and dependable, less maintenance and degradation over time.

Cons: The fireplace will not light as quickly.

WARNING: THIS FIREPLACE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET.

TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL AN UNVENTED GAS

LOG SET INTO THIS FIREPLACE. DO NOT INSTALL A GAS LIGHTER BECAUSE

THE HEAT PRODUCED BY THE FIREPLACE MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE

GAS LIGHTER

A combustible mantel shelf cannot be installed less than 6" above the top of the

fireplace opening. A combustible mantel shelf cannot be deeper than 12".

For combustible mantel shelf depths between 6" and 12", simply install the mantel shelf

at a distance above the fireplace opening corresponding to the mantel shelf depth:

 For example, mantel shelf depth to be installed: 9 ¼"

 It is between 6" and 12"

 Minimum installation height of a 9 ¼" mantel: 9 ¼" above the fireplace opening.

If the combustible mantel shelf has a cross-section with variable depth, it has to be

installed so that its widest part is not installed lower than the corresponding minimum

installation height while making sure that the lowest point of the mantel shelf is not

installed lower than the minimum installation height corresponding to its depth.

Refer to the "Installation: Mantel" section for particulars.



A combustible mantel post cannot be installed less than 6" from either side of the

fireplace opening. A combustible mantel post cannot be deeper than 12".

For combustible mantel post depths between 6" and 12", you can calculate the minimum

installation distance between the two mantel posts given as follows:

 For example, mantel post depth to be installed: 9 ¼"

 It is between 3" and 12"

 So: (9.25 x 4/9) + 4.676 = 8.778 = 8 13/16"

 Minimum installation distance of a 9 ¼" mantel post: 8 13/16" from either side of

the fireplace opening.

If the combustible mantel post has a cross-section with variable depth, it has to be

installed so that its thickest part is not installed closer than the corresponding minimum

installation distance while making sure that the thinnest point of the mantel post is not

installed closer than the minimum installation distance corresponding to its depth.

Refer to the "Installation: Mantel" section for particulars.

INSTALLATION

Check with your local authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal building

department, fire department, fire prevention bureau, etc.) regarding restrictions and

installation requirements, and the need to obtain a permit.

WARNING: IF THIS FIREPLACE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE CAN

RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

AND CLEARANCES. DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES WITH

INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.

LOCATION

The RUMFORD 1000 must be installed within the vapor barrier of the home. Preferably

the whole fireplace should be within the vapor barrier but at the very least, the front of

the fireplace should be part of the wall including the vapor barrier. It cannot be installed

outside, or on a three season porch.

Your RUMFORD 1000 fireplace may be installed in different ways (see Figure 3) without

any special floor reinforcement.

Specifications of the fireplace along with clearances are shown in Figure 1, Figure 2,

Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3. We recommend that you take the time to plan your entire

installation (fireplace and chimney) before beginning the actual installation (refer to

Figure 4).

1. Note the location of roof and floor joists. Try to choose a location that does not

require cutting them.

2. Do not build shelves or cupboards in the area above the fireplace. This space must

be kept empty.

3. If at all possible, install the chimney on the interior of the building as it will provide

better performance than an exterior chimney. In areas with continuous temperatures

below 32°F the use of an exterior chimney may result in operating problems such as

poor draft and excessive condensation of combustion products. If you do install an

exterior chimney we recommend that you install it within an insulated enclosure (see

Installation: Chase Enclosure).

CEILING CLEARANCE

Ceiling clearance is the distance from the base of the fireplace to the ceiling.

Under no circumstances should the distance between the ceiling firestop and the base of

the fireplace be less than the clearance specified in Table 1 (C).

UNPACKING YOUR RUMFORD 1000

WARNING: THE FIREPLACE IS FRONT HEAVY. MAKE SURE TO ALWAYS MAINTAIN

CONTACT WITH THE FIREPLACE WHEN MOVING IT TO PREVENT ANY UNDUE

TILTING.

The RUMFORD 1000 fireplace is front heavy. To safely ship and transport the RUMFORD

1000, we have taken various parts from the front of the fireplace and attach them to the

back of the crate rendering the overall crate rather well-balanced. As soon as you start

removing heavy parts from the back of the crate, the rest of the crate becomes

unbalanced, be careful.

Two transportation blocking brackets are in place to prevent the guillotine door from

moving during shipping. Do not attempt to move the guillotine door before removing

these transportation safety devices. To remove some weight on the front of the

fireplace, the counterweights are not installed; they are attached to the back of the

crate. We recommend that you wait until the fireplace is in its final position before

removing the transportation blocking brackets and installing the counterweights. Until

you do, the guillotine door is disabled.

The fireplace crate includes all of the following:

(A) One fireplace complete with a glass door (approximately 500 lb);

(B) Four small brackets securing the fireplace to the crate: keep them, they will be

necessary for securing the fireplace to the floor;

(C) One top finishing cover in transport position on the fireplace;

(D) One front top finishing cover;

(E) Three black lintels wrapped in paper;

(F) Two bigger counterweights: attached to the back vertical posts of the crate

(approximately 25 lb each);

(G) One smaller counterweight: attached to the back vertical posts of the crate

(approximately 10 lb);

(H) A pair of Renaissance andirons: in the fireplace firebox;

(I) A hearth threshold in three parts;

(J) One spark guard: attached to the back of the fireplace;

(K) One anti-tip stability bracket: attached to the top of the fireplace casing;

(L) In the manual bag (attached to the left side of the fireplace casing, close to the

base):

 Two counterweight blocking rods; Two black round caps;

 One bag with four large self-tapping

screws;  One bag with 15 small self-tapping

screws;

 One bag with 17 rivets; A removable door handle;

 Some high temperature grease;



A 5" external air coupling;

 An owner's and installation manual.

These items will be referred to by the above letters throughout the installation

instructions of the fireplace itself.

4. Start on the right side. Undo the knot in the cable around the back right pulley and

slip it through the pulley and down the counterweight channel so that on end hangs

down through the bottom opening of the back counterweight channel.

5. Attach the cable to the counterweight (F) using the threaded connector and screw

the threaded connector closed.

6. Locate one of the counterweight blocking rods (L), you will need it shortly.

7. Get a good hold of the other end of the cable; wear gloves for a better grip. Pull

gently on the cable to insert the counterweight in the channel making sure not to

tear away the felt. Pull the counterweight all the way to the top of the counterweight

channel. Each counterweight weighs approximately 25 lb.

8. Push the counterweight blocking rod (L) through the hole in the counterweight

channel located about 41" from the floor. Make sure to pass the blocking rod all the

way through the channel and out the back. Once the rod is in place, you can let go of

the counterweight cable.

9. Take the time to remove any twist the cable may have before attaching it to the

frame of the guillotine door using the threaded connector.

10. Repeat steps 4 through 9 for the left door counterweight.

11. Verify that both cables are centered on their pulleys. Pull on each cable to take the

weight off the counterweight and then gently remove each of the counterweight

blocking rods.

12. The guillotine door is kept closed by two transportation blocking brackets. There is a

blocking bracket at the bottom of the guillotine door on each side. Remove the screw

holding the blocking bracket on both sides.

13. You can now install the two black round caps (L) provided over the two holes in the

guillotine frame. Just push them in place.

14. The guillotine door can now be moved up and down.

Being careful not knock the firescreen off its wood support, try moving the door up and

down slowly while looking at the cables and the pulleys. Make sure each cable is able to

move freely and centered over its pulley. If needed, realign the pulleys. If you do so, do

not forget to tighten the pulleys nut and bolts without over tightening.

15. Now undo the knot in the cable around the front right pulley and slip it through the

pulley and down the front counterweight channel so that on end hangs down through

the bottom opening of the front counterweight channel.

16. Attach the cable to the small counterweight (G) using the threaded connector and

screw the threaded connector closed.

17. Take the time to remove any twist the cable may have before attaching it to the

frame of the firescreen using the threaded connector.

18. Grab hold of the firescreen, lift it just enough to remove the wood support and bring

it down slowly just enough to put tension on the cable.

19. The firescreen can now be moved up and down.

Try moving the firescreen up and down slowly while looking at the cable and the pulley.

Make sure the cable is able to move freely and centered over its pulley in a straight line.

If needed, realign the pulley. If you do so, do not forget to tighten the pulley's nut and

bolt without over tightening.

FINISHING COVERS INSTALLATION

Make sure the guillotine door and the firescreen are closed before continuing
