2.4 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

THIS APPLIANCE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH
ANY VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG SET: TO
REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR PREVENT INJURY, DO
NOT INSTALL A VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG
SET INTO THE APPLIANCE.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

This appliance and the components ARE DESIGNED TO BE
INSTALLED AND OPERATED AS A SYSTEM. ANY ALTER-
ATION TO OR SUBSTITUTION FOR ITEMS IN THIS SYSTEM,
UNLESS ALLOWED BY THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
TIONS, WILL VOID THE LISTING AND MAY VOID THE PROD-
UCT WARRANTY. IT MAY ALSO CREATE A HAZARDOUS
INSTALLATION. READ THROUGH THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING YOUR INSTALLATION AND
FOLLOW THEM CAREFULLY THROUGHOUT YOUR PROJECT.

• Before beginning your installation, consult with

your local building code agency or fire officials and
insurance representative to ensure compliance.

• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint

curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a
window near the appliance.

• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appli-

ance before firing the appliance as the paint will
become soft as the appliance heats up and will
harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on
your appliance burn your appliance moderately hot
during the first few fires.

• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance

as the paint is curing, periodically open the door
every 5-10 minutes.

• For the first two weeks use generous amounts

of fuel and burn the appliance for an hour as the
appliance goes through a process of eliminating

moisture in the steel and refractory bricks. The ini-
tial heat output will be reduced while the moisture
is being drawn from the appliance and it will be
necessary to build several hot fires to remove this
moisture. DURING THIS PROCESS DO NOT OVER-
FIRE THE APPLIANCE.

2.5 GENERAL INFORMATION

The chimney vent system used on your wood burning
appliance should be designed with the least amount
of restriction possible to enable the exhaust products
to easily flow through it. Chimney vent systems that
are too short or too long (refer to point 4.3 ”chimney
installation”) can also have an adverse affect on the
flow of exhaust through it. The wood burning appli-
ance and chimney vent system also require a suffi-
cient supply of combustion air not only to support the
combustion in the combustion chamber but to replace
the exhaust leaving it so it can flow freely up through
the vent system and out into the atmosphere. It is the
correct balance of combustion air and the chimney
vent system that will ensure the appliance provides
you with its optimum performance.

Be sure to provide sufficient combustion air. There are
many other appliances in your home competing for
air such as a kitchen range hood, forced air heating
devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and
cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.

After extended periods of non-operation such as
following a vacation or a warm weather season, the
appliance may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This
is caused by dust particles on the firebox burning off.
Open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.

CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:
Use of this product may produce smoke which contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

If you experience smoking problems, you may need
to open a door, a window or otherwise provide some
method of supplying combustion air to the appliance.

CAUTION:

These modules are not certified for gas log sets.

We suggest that our woodburning hearth products
be installed and serviced by professionals who are
certified in the U.S. by the National Fireplace
Institute® (NFI) as NFI Woodburning Specialists or
who are certified in Canada by
Wood Energy Technical
Training (WETT).
