PEARL 3600 Owner's Manual

RSF Woodburning Fireplaces
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The PEARL3600 is environmentally friendly and meets the 2020 United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) particulate emission standard with cordwood at an average emission rate of 1.5 grams per hour.
It also has an optimal efficiency of 79%. This has been established using the high heating value of the wood, under
the best burning conditions and using CSA B415.1-10 calculations.
Furthermore, the weighted average EPA efficiency is 74%. The later has been established using the higher heating
value of the wood, while burning EPA cordwood and using CSA B415.1-10 calculations.
It has been shown to deliver heat ranging from 13 000 to 50 000 BTU/h with an average of 25 000BTU/h. Please
refer to the "Improving efficiency”, the “Importance of draft”, the “Brun Time vs. Heat Output” and “Fuel” sections to
better understand the various factors that influence the efficiency and heat output of your fireplace.
OPTIONS
Internal Blower (FO-FDHB8)
: For increased air circulation and marginally more heat output, you can add an
optional fan.
Gravity Vents (FO-V2, FO-VGC or FO-V3):
If you have any rooms directly above or adjacent to the room with the
fireplace that you would like to heat, you may want to consider the Gravity Vent Kits. The gravity vent uses ducts
and vents to distributes hot air to these rooms without the need for a blower.
Each gravity vent kit includes 5’ of insulated flexible ducting, a gravity vent starter, an outlet grill adapter, and a
decorative outlet grill. The different grill designs are shown below:
FO-V2
FO-VGC (grill only for FO-V2)
FO-V3
Heat Dump (FO-HD):
For a simple way to pull heat away from the fireplace to another room or to the basement,
we offer the Heat Dump Kit. It includes a 180 cfm blower and is most often used to prevent the room with the
fireplace from overheating and provide supplemental heating to the basement when the fireplace is on the main
floor.
Gasket Replacement Kit (FO-GRK9):
Over time, the door seal will develop wear and eventually needs to be
replaced when air leaks into the firebox. If you notice difficulty slowing down the rate of burn or shortened burn
times, it may be a good time to replace your door gasket.
NOTE
: Some options require wiring and/or electricity for their installation. If there is any chance that any of these
options will be installed in the future then suitable wiring should be run during framing. Otherwise, it will be difficult
to install these options later. You can refer to page 28 for a list of options that require electricity.
Detailed installation instructions are included in the box with each option. These can also be obtained from our
Internet Web Site: www.icc-rsf.com.
WARNING:
This fireplace has not been tested with a gas log set (unvented or vented). To reduce risk of fire or
injury, do not install a gas log set (unvented or vented) into this fireplace. Do not install a gas log lighter because
the heat produced by the fireplace will permanently damage the gas log lighter.
