GENERAL

INFORMATION

The

fireplace

is

designe

d to stand

qirectly

on a

combustible

floor

(plywood,

particle

board, etc.).

Special

support

structure

is

not

required

except

where the

weight

of

the

masonry

used on the

raised hearth

or

facing exceeds the

floor

loading

allowed

by local

building

codes.

Th

e back and

sides

of

the

unit

do

not

require clearance

to

combustible

material

or

framing, but the fireplace

should

not

be

installed

against exposed

insulation

or

vapour barriers. To eliminate

possible

hazardous

conditions

,

an

adequate

supply

of

air

must

exist

to replace

that

used for

combustion.

HEARTH

EXTENSION

REQUIREMENTS

(see Fig.

1)

The Model 3000 is

supplied

with

two

raised hearth

boxes

. When

installed

in

accordance

with

the

instruction

sheet

enclosed

, the

resulting

hearth

extension

meets

the

re

q

uirements

of

most

building

codes. These

instructions

also

cover the

installation

of

the

optional

fresh

air

intake

kit.

installation. Placing the assembly on a carpet or blanket is recommended so

as

not to mar

the finish .

All

fireplaces

require

the

chimney

to

extend

a

minimum

of

3 m

(10

feet) above the top

of

the

fireplace.

7.

Finish the

chimney

to

its

desired

height.

The

top

of

the

chimney

should

extend

at least 900 mm

(3

feet) above

the

point

where

it

comes

through

the

roof

and at least 600 mm

(2

feet) above

any surface

within

a horizontal

distance

of

3 m

(10

feet). If the

chimney

extends

more than

1.5 m

(5

feet) above

the

roof,

additional

lateral

support

is required. (See Figure

2).

8.

Nail

the

two-piece

roof

sleeve

into

the

roof

opening

(Figure

1).

9. Place a

ventilated

roof

flashing,

suitable

for

the roof

pitch

, over the

chimney

casing and nail

securely

to

the

roof,

top

end (nearest

10.

Apply

Slide

the

Apply

additional

caulking

above

the

as required.

11. Install a Round Top (see

The information contained

in

the chimney offset data chart pertains to off-

(4')

(see

Figure

A).

If

the offset length

is

more than 1.2 m

(4'),

an

intermediate support must

be employed at 1.2 m

(4

is

4.8 m

(16

The intermediate support must

be

used

in

conjunction with

an

offset sup-

port (see Figure 8).

feel the magnet in the flap adhere to the

metal frame.

To

close, reverse procedure.

NOTE: When the fire is being allowed

to

die

out

or when the fireplace is not

in

operation, it is advisable

to

shut

off

the

outside

air. This will eliminate the

possibility

of

unheat

ed

outside air being

drawn in and expelled

into

the room.

CAUTION: The Hood Assembly may

be

located

in

a ventilated crawl space orven-

tilated attic.

DO

NOT locate the Hood

within

a garage. Dangerous

auto exhaust fumes could

be

conveyed

into the home with such

an

arrangement.

CARE

AND

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING

THE

FIRE

1.

Always be sure that the fireplace damper

is

FULLY

open at all times before starting each fire. If not, smoke

and flame will lick against the enclosure and into the

room.

2.

There

is

a sliding draft control

in

the lower panel

operated by a pair of knobs. The slide MUST

BE

open

when starting a fire.

3.

Use the Selkirk Acorn Grate which will hold the fire 8

in-

ches from the glass doors.

4.

Do not build too large a fire. Use only sufficient kindling

to

light well seasoned hardwood.

5.

Do not burn paper, trash, garbage, etc. Avoid quick hot

flash type

fi

res.

6.

At first the doors should

be

left partially open to warm

the glass evenly and slowly.

OPERATING

THE

FIRE

1.

If for any reason the fire becomes excessive with

flames licking against the glass doors, open the doors

until the fire dies down.

2.

Close the curtain screen when children are playing

in

front of the fireplace since a burning log which rolls

against the glass may cause it to shatter.

3.

The fireplace damper must be left fully open at all times

while the fire

is

burning.

LEAVING

THE

FIRE

1.

When retiring or leaving the fireplace unattended, close

the curtain screen and the combustion air slide BUT

leave the fireplace damper OPEN. Once the fire

is

cold,

the fireplace damper should be closed until the next

time you light your fireplace.

REMEMBER

Start the

fi

re

slowly, heat the glass gradually to avoid sud-

den temperature changes

in

the glass and keep the fire

medium sized. Failure to operate the fireplace with the

damper fully open will result

in

excessive heat build-up

causing premature failure of the glass.

WARNING

CARE

OF

YOUR

GLASS

DOOR

SET

• The metal frame and trim are finished with baked

on

enamel resistant to tarnishing and the heat from a

properly managed fire. Damage or discoloration in-

dicates that the Glass Door Set has been overheated

by too large or hot a fire or a fire too close to the

enclosure.

• Do not attempt

to

polish the frame and trim, but use a

mild soap cleaner and water. Dry with a soft scratch-

free cloth. Do not use abrasive or metal polish

cleaners.

•

The doors may be removed for ease of cleaning by

folding them open, raising the doors up until the bot-

tom hinge pin clears the frame and then swinging the

doors out and down until the upper hinge pin and the

Z shaped retainer are free of the frame. The doors

are replaced

in

the reverse manner. Refer to "In-

stallation of Doors

in

Frame" - Item

2.

• Use ammonia and water

to

clean the glass.

• Do not use

oi

l or wax type cleaners.

REMEMBER:

The enclosure frame, the glass doors and the valance

have been shipped

to

you with a clear protective coating.

You

should remove this coating from

all

surfaces prior to

installation. Placing the assembly

on

a carpet or blanket

is

recommended so as not to mar the finish.

This Glass Door Set

is

not suitable for use with Acorn Model 832

or

Model 832 Heat Circulating fireplaces

If

in

doubt about the

model

of

your fireplace, contact

us

since hazardous conditions may

be

created by fitting glass doors

to

the

Model 832 or

the

Model 832 Heat Circulator.
