property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:
1) When installing your insert, particular attention should be paid to fire protection. If this room heater is not properly
installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions. Contact local building, fire
officials or authority having jurisdiction about restrictions,installation inspection and permits requirements in your area.
2) CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
3) During operation, if any part of the insert starts to glow, the insert is in an overfired condition. Close the air controls
completely by pulling them out, until the glowing has stopped. OVERFIRING VOIDSYOUR WARRANTY!
4) Cool ashes should be disposed of carefully, using a metal container.
5) Do not burn wet or green wood. Store wood in a dry location.
6) DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. Do not
burn treated wood, or wood with salt (driftwood, etc.). Burning materials other than wood (including charcoal) under
adverse conditions may generate carbon monoxide in the home, resulting in illness or possible death.
7) Do not permit creosote or soot to accumulate excessively in the chimney or inside the firebox.
8) Check your chimney system thoroughly when installing into an existing metal or masonry chimney. Seek professional
advice if in doubt about its condition.
9) Do not connect this unit to a chimnney flue already serving another appliance.
10) Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as shown in this manual for this appliance.
11) Build fire on brick firebox floor. Do not use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.

LISTINGS
CHIMNEY HEIGHT/DRAFT (CONT’D)
These installation instructions describe the installation and opera-
tion of the Quadra-Fire 5100-I Wood Insert. This insert meets the
U.S.Environmental Protection Agency’s 1990 particulate emission
standards. The 5100-I is listed by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc.
to UL Safety Standard 1482, and ULC S628, and (UM) 84-HUD.
The 5100-I is approved for mobile home installations when not
installed in a sleeping room and when an outside combustion air
inlet is provided. The structural integrity of the mobile home floor,
ceiling, and walls must be maintained. The insert must be properly
grounded to the frame of the mobile home.
AVOID FIRE: To ensure that insulation or any other combustible
material does not contact the chimney, a chimney inside the house
must have at least 2 inches (51mm) of air space clearance around
the chimney. A chimney outside the house must have at least 1
inch (25mm) clearance to the combustible structure. Noncombus-
tible fire stops must be installed at the spaces where the chimney
passes through floors and/or ceilings. Refer to Figures 8A & 8B
on page 8. Canadian installations require a full reline of the
chimney
NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by
the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
Check with your local building code agency before you begin your
installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the
need for permits and follow-up inspections. Be sure local building
codes do not supersede UL specifications and always obtain a
building permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be
unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during
installation, please contact your local dealer.
WE RECOMMEND that a qualified building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before
installation.
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
CHIMNEY HEIGHT/DRAFT
The Quadra-Fire 5100-I Insert has met and surpassed the most
stringent emissions standards in the United States. The sophistica-
tion of the interior firebox design requires that a proper draft be sup-
plied by the chimney, therefore adherence to the following factors
will enable your insert to operate at its optimum capability.
To be sure that your Quadra-Fire insert burns properly, the chimney
draft (static pressure) should be approximately -0.10” water column
(W.C.) during a high burn and -0.04” W.C. during a low burn,
measured 6” (152mm) above the top of the insert after one hour of
operation at each burn setting.
REQUIRED: A minimum starter pipe reaching to the base of the
existing code approved masonry chimney and an airtight face seal,
but a full chimney liner for factory-built fireplaces is recommended
for USA and is required in Canada.
NOTE: These are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat for
individual installations.
Your Quadra-Fire insert was designed for and tested on a 6”
(152mm) chimney, 12 ft-14 ft (360-420cm) high, measured from
the base of the insert. The further your stack height or diameter
varies from this configuration, the possibility of performance
problems increases. In addition, exterior conditions such as roof
line, surrounding trees, prevailing winds and nearby hills can
influence insert’s performance.
BETTER: Direct connection to the first flue liner in accordance with
the requirements of the NFPA 211.
BEST: A complete relining of the chimney system with a 6 inch
(152mm) diameter listed, stainless liner. Required for factory-built
fireplace installations in Canada, recommended in USA. The sections
must be attached to the insert and to each other with the crimped
(male) end pointing toward the insert. See Figure 6B. All joints,
including the connection at the flue collar, should be secured with
three sheet metal screws. Make sure to follow the minimum clear-
ances to combustibles as set out on Page 5 of the manual.
A masonry chimney or a listed factory-built UL103 HT Class “A”
chimney must be the required height above the roof and any other
nearby obstructions. The chimney must be at least 3 ft (91cm)
higher than the highest point where it passes through the roof and at
least 2 ft (61cm) higher than the highest part of the roof or structure
that is within 10 ft (305cm) of the chimney, measured horizontally.
See 2-10-3 Rule (Figure 6A). These are safety requirements
and are not meant to assure proper flue draft.

IF INSTALLING THIS MODEL TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY, ALWAYS BE SURE THE CHIMNEY IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND
THAT IT MEETSTHE MINIMUM STANDARDS OFTHE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) STANDARD 211.
A FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY MUST BE 6 INCH (152mm) UL 103 HT AND ULC S629.
THIS APPLIANCE IS MADE WITH A 6 INCH (152mm) DIAMETER CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AS THE FLUE COLLAR ON THE
UNIT. CHANGING THE DIAMETER OF THE CHIMNEY CAN AFFECT DRAFT AND CAUSE POOR PERFORMANCE. IT IS NOT
RECOMMENDED TO USE OFFSETS OR ELBOWS AT ALTITUDES ABOVE 4000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL OR WHEN THERE
ARE OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT FLUE DRAFT.T SEE PAGE 5.
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE IS HOT WHILE IN OPERATION AND MAY REMAIN SO UP TO 40 MINUTES AFTER THERE
IS NO FUEL IN THE FIREBOX. IF THIS APPLIANCE IS IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA OR CHILDREN MAY BE NEAR, IT IS
RECOMMENDED THATYOU PURCHASE A DECORATIVE BARRIOR TO GO IN FRONT OF THE APPLIANCE.
ALTERNATE FLOOR PROTECTION WORKSHEET
How to determine if alternate floor protection materials are acceptable:
All floor protection must be non-combustible (i.e., metals, brick, stone, mineral fiber boards, etc.). Any organic materials (i.e., plastics, wood paper
products, etc.) are combustible and must not be used. The floor protection specified includes some form of thermal designation such as R-value
(thermal resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).
PROCEDURE:
1. Convert specification to R-value:
1
x T
R =
R-value given - no conversion needed.
K-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
r-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R =
K x 12

R =
2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
i. Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”.
ii. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine overall R-value.
3. If the overall R-value of the system is greater than the R-value of the specified floor protector, the alternate is acceptable.
EXAMPLE: The specified floor protector should be 3/4 inch thick material with a k-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4” brick with an r-factor
of 0.2 over 1/8” mineral board with a k-factor of 0.29.

Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value.
1/8" mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore:
4" brick of r = 0.2, therefore:

3. The chimney should be examined for cracks, loose mortar,
and other signs of deterioration and blockage. The insert
should not be installed until it is determined that the chim-
ney is safe for use. Since an oversized flue contributes to
the accumulation of creosote, the size of the flue should be
checked to determine that it is not too large for the insert.
The chimney should also be checked to ensure it meets the
minimum standard of the National Fire Protection Associa-
tion (NFPA) Standard 211. The following bullets list the more
critical requirements for a properly constructed chimney:
METAL HEAT CIRCULATING MASONRY
The Quadra-Fire 5100-I Insert conforms with the safety
standard UL-1482 and ULC S628 (Canada) in all respects
and is approved to UL & ULC safety standards for instal-
lation and use within a fireplace with masonry chimney, in
accordance with NFPA No. 211, with or without a direct flue
collar connection. A starter pipe is required into existing
chimney.
• The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular
block, must be a minimum of 4 inches (102mm) nominal
thickness. A chimney of rubble stone must be at least 12
inches (305mm) thick
Mantel
• The chimney must have a fire clay flue liner (or equiva-
lent) with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (16mm) and must be
installed with refractory mortar. An equivalent liner must be
a listed chimney liner system or other approved material.

zero clearance fireplaces conforming to the following specifications:
Minimum Width of cavity opening:
Minimum Height:
36”
24”
915mm
610mm
483mm
Minimum Depth from front to rear: 19”
The following modifications of factory built fireplaces are permissible: 1) removal of damper; 2) removal of smoke shelf
or baffle; 3) removal of ember catches; 4) removal of fire grate; 5) removal of viewing screen/curtain; and, 6) removal of
doors.
NOTE: Installation into fireplaces without a permit will void the listing.
The factory built chimney must be listed per UL 127 and meet the type HT requirements of UL 103. Factory built fireplace
chimneys tested to UL 127-1998, may be at the fireplace manufacturer’s option, tested to the same criteria as UL 103 HT
requirements. If the chimney is not listed as meeting HT requirements, or if the factory built fireplace was tested prior to
1998, a full height listed chimney liner must be installed from the appliance flue collar to the chimney top. The liner must
meet type HT requirements (2100ºF) per UL 1777. The liner must be securely attached to the insert flue collar and the
chimney top. To prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace, seal either the damper area around the
chimney liner with high temperature sealant or the fireplace front with fiberglass batting.
The fireplace must not be altered, except that the damper may be removed to accommodate a direct-connect starter pipe
or chimney liner, and external trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the fireplace may be removed providing
they can be stored on or within the fireplace for reassembly if the insert is removed. The permanent metal warning label
provided must be attached to the back of the fireplace, with screws or nails, stating that the fireplace may have been
altered to accommodate the insert, and must be returned to
original condition for use as a conventional fireplace.
If the hearth extension is lower than the fireplace opening,
the portion of the insert extending onto the hearth must be
Mantel
supported. Manufacturer designed adjustable support kit
can be ordered from your dealer. (See page 16).
Final approval of this installation type is contingent upon
the authority having jurisdiction.

have been altered to accommodate the insert, and must be returned to original condition for use as a conventional
fireplace.
USE OF LEVELING BOLTS
Two leveling bolts, 3/8” x 4” are shipped inside the component pack found inside the firebox.
NOTE: Not all installations will require the use of the leveling bolts. If the leveling bolts are necessary, you will also need
sheetmetal guides placed under the leveling bolts to slide insert into position.
1. Remove the bolts from the component pack.
2. Locate the weld nuts welded to each side of the insert bottom and insert the bolts.
3. Position insert on hearth with rear of insert extending into fireplace opening.
4. Extend leveling bolts downward to level insert.
SECURING LINER TO CHIMNEY RING
There are two options to secure the liner to the chim-
ney ring: (See Figure 12A).
Option One: If there is enough room on the top of the
insert to work, hand bend the two tabs upward 90°.
Secure the liner with the supplied hex head bolts 1/4-
20-3/4.
2 pre-drilled holes on
chimney ring under outer skin
(access through firebox)
Option Two: Remove the manifold tubes, fiberboard
baffle and ceramic blanket. From inside the firebox,
pull liner down through the chimney ring below the
outer skin. There are two pre-drilled holes in the chim-
ney ring 180° apart. Secure the liner with the supplied
hex head bolts 1/4-20-3/4.
NOTE: Tabs are shipped from factory in a flat position.
Bend upwards 90 degrees.

BLOWER OPERATION
The 5100-I is equipped with a 110°thermally operated snap disc which will automatically turn on the blower when the insert
reaches this temperature. The snap disc is located at the center of the insert, under the lower grille. There is a manual
override switch on the right side of the insert. The blower can be controlled manually by switching this switch to ON and
operating the blower with the speed control. If the blower does not come on automatically when the stove reaches a suf-
ficient temperature, the snap disc might be bad and should be replaced.
BLOWER CORD LOCATION
The 5100-I Insert comes standard with 2 blowers, installed at the factory with blower cord on right side of insert (as you face

OPERATION
WOOD SELECTION AND STORAGE
Burn only dry seasoned wood. Dry, well-seasoned wood will not only minimize the chance of creosote formation but will give you the
most efficient heat output. Even dry wood contains at least 15% moisture by weight and should be burned hot enough to keep the
chimney hot enough to maintain particulate (smoke) burning. Burning unseasoned wood of any variety defeats the stoves’ efficiency.
Dead wood lying on the forest floor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing wood can be considered to be
about two-thirds seasoned. Wood is dry enough to burn if the ends of the logs have cracks radiating in all directions from the center. If
your wood sizzles in the fire, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully cured.
Drying time can be reduced by splitting wood prior to storage. Since the majority of drying occurs through the cut ends rather than the
sides, stack the wood so both ends of each piece are exposed to air. Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or covered with a tarp,
plastic, tarpaper, sheets of scrap plywood, etc.
OVERFIRING
Do not overfire. Overfiring can result in crazing, an effect causing a white, non-removable film to be deposited on the inside of the glass.
Using flammable liquids or too much wood, or burning trash in the insert, may result in overfiring. If the chimney connector or insert
glows red, or worse, white, the insert is overfired. This condition may ignite creosote in the chimney, possibly causing a house fire. If any
part of the insert starts to glow, you are in an overfire situation. If you overfire, immediately close the insert dampers and door, if open,
to reduce the air supply to the fire. Overfiring your insert voids your warranty.
BUILDING A FIRE
NOTE: Remove all labels from glass front prior to lighting the first fire.
Before lighting your first fire in the insert, make certain that the baffle is correctly positioned. It should be resting against the rear support.
Also refer to care and cleaning of gold/nickel plated surfaces on cover page before lighting your first fire.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen
up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
There are many ways to build a fire. The basic principle is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the fast burning kindling,
which in turn ignites the slow-burning firewood. Here is one method that works well:
1.
Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor. Heating flue with slightly crumpled newspaper before adding
kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.
2.
3.
4.
Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor.
Open Start-Up Air Control (right side) and Primary Air Control (under ashcatcher) fully. See Figure 19A on page 19.
Ensure that no matches or other combustibles are in the immediate area of the insert, that the room is adequately ventilated,
and the flue is unobstructed.
5.
6.
Light the paper in the insert. NEVER light or rekindle insert with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter fluid; the results
can be fatal.
Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-length logs 3” (76mm) or 4” (102mm) in diameter. Be careful not to
smother the fire. Stack the pieces of wood carefully: near enough to keep each other hot, but far enough away from each
other to allow adequate air flow between them.
7.
When ready to reload the insert, add more logs. Large logs burn slowly, holding a fire longer. Small logs burn fast and
hot, giving quick heat.
8. Adjust the Start-Up Air Control and Primary Air Control, maintaining flames above the fuel. The more you close down the Primary
Control, the lower and slower the fire will burn. The more you open the Primary Control the more heat will be produced. The Start-Up
Air Control (right side) is only used for the first 5 to 15 minutes.
As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 7 and 8 will maintain a continuous fire.
NOTE: The special high temperature finish paint applied to the insert will cure as your insert heats. You will notice an odor
and perhaps see some vapor rise from the insert surface, this is normal. We recommend that you open a window until the odor
dissipates and the paint is cured.

OPERATING TIPS
For maximum operating efficiency with the lowest emissions, follow these operating procedures:
1.
2.
3.
Regardless of desired heat output, when loading stove, burn your Quadra-Fire with both air controls wide open for a minimum
of 5 to 15 minutes.
Regulate burn rate (heat output) by using the Primary Control (under ashcather). The Start-Up Air Control (right side) is mainly
for initial start-up and reloading.
Heat output settings: Follow burn rate instructions listed below.
4. Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood.
WARNING: Do not operate with Start-Up
Air Control in the open position in excess
of 15 minutes! Risk of extreme tem-
peratures! Prolonged operation of this
stove with the Start-Up Air Control in the
open position may cause the combusti-
ble materials around the stove to exceed
safe temperature limits.

These are approximate settings, and will vary with type of wood or chimney draft.
BURN RATES
STARTING FIRE: Open both controls (push in) completely. After a wood load has been burning on high for 5 to 15 minutes or longer for
very large pieces, close the Start-Up Air Control (right side) by pulling it out.
HIGH: Leave the Primary Air Control fully open (under ashcatcher). It is especially important to fully open both controls when reloading
the insert as failure to do so could result in excessive emissions, also referred to as ‘opacity’.
After a wood load has been burning on high for 5 to 15 minutes on High to achieve the following burn rates set the
controls as listed below:
MEDIUM HIGH: Close the Primary Air Control to 1” to 2-1/2” (25mm to 64mm) open. Start-Up Air is closed.
MEDIUM: Close the Primary Air Control to 3/4” to 1” (19mm to 25mm) open. Start-Up Air is closed.
LOW: Gradually close down the Primary Air Control by pulling out making sure to maintain flames in the insert. (Start-Up Air is closed).
It is very important to maintain flames in your insert during the first few hours of a low burn to avoid excessive air pollution.
OPACITY
Opacity is the measure of how clean your insert is burning and is measured in percentages. An opacity of 100% in the smoke column
from a chimney will totally obscure an object. Whereas 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen. A periodic check of the
opacity emitted from your chimney will enable you to burn your insert as smoke free as possible.
FAN OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Initial (cold) startup: Leave fan off until your insert is hot and a good coal bed is established, approximately 30 minutes after fuel
is lit.
2. High Burn Setting: The fan may be left on throughout the burn.
3. Medium or Medium High Burn Setting: The fan should be left off until a good burn is established, then turned on a medium
or high rate.
4. Low Burn Setting: The fan tends to cool the insert. Leave fan off until the burn is well established; then, if you wish, turn the fan
on at a low rate.
5. The fan is equipped with a rheostat (speed control). The highest fan speed is obtained by turning the rheostat on, then adjusting back
towards “OFF” as far as possible without turning the fan off. For a low fan speed, turn the control knob clockwise as far as possible.
ASH REMOVAL
Remove cold ashes (not hot) from the insert at regular intervals, depending on your usage. Ashes should be placed in a metal container
with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor 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. Always treat ashes as if they contain hot coals.

5100-I WOOD INSERT
AIR QUALITY ANDYOUR QUADRA-FIRE INSERT
In recent years there has been an increasing concern about the quality of our air. Much of the blame for poor air quality has
been placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order to improve this situation we at Quadra-Fire have developed
cleaner burning inserts that surpass the stringent requirements for emissions established by our governing agencies. Your
4100-I, like any other appliance, must be properly operated in order to ensure that they perform the way they are designed
to perform. Improper operation and maintenance may cause any wood burning unit to release more particulate, adversely
affecting the environment.
The story of the Three Burning Stages . . .
It helps to know a little about the actual burn process, which entails three discernible burning stages. The first stage is called
the kindling stage. During this stage the fuel reaches the boiling temperature of water, 212°F, evaporating the moisture
found to some degree in all wood.
Because the process takes heat from the insert during this initial drying stage, each new load of wood reduces the chances
for a good, clean burn. For this reason it is always best to burn dry, seasoned firewood, and operate the controls properly.
The bottom control on the right side of your insert is called the Start-Up Air Control and is used primarily during this first
kindling stage of burning.
During the secondary stage, the wood gives off flammable gases which burn above the fuel with bright flames. These
flames above the fuel must be maintained until the third stage to ensure proper burning. During this stage you may adjust
your insert for a low burn rate. To achieve a low burn rate it is necessary to close down the air while still maintaining some
flames. If the flames tend to go out, the setting is too low. The Primary Control will assist you in adjusting the insert for a
low burn rate.
The third stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This happens when the flammable gases have been burned and the
charcoal remains. The coals burning with hot blue flames is a naturally clean portion of the burn. It is very important to
reload your insert while enough lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of heat needed to dry and rekindle
the next load of wood. Open up both controls for a short while before reloading to liven up the coal bed. You should also
break up any large chunks and distribute the coals so the new wood is laid on hot coals. Leave both controls open until
the new wood load is burning well enough to maintain the secondary stage of burning and then set controls to your desired
heat output setting.
START-UP AIR SYSTEM
The combustion air enters at the rear of the firebox through the rear air tubes. This air supply is controlled by the Start-Up
Air Control. See Figure 19A.
PRIMARY AIR SYSTEM
The primary air enters at the upper front of the firebox near the top of the glass door. This preheated air supplies the neces-
sary fresh oxygen to mix with the unburned gases, helping to create secondary, tertiary and quaternary combustion. This
air is regulated by the Primary Air Control. For more primary air (more heat), push rod in. For less primary air (less heat),
pull rod out. See Figure 19A.
In other words . . .
Pulling either control towards you closes off the air available to the insert in that area. Pushing either control opens it, allow-
ing air circulation to the area. A good analogy to remember for this procedure is the gas pedal on your car. Pushing in the
gas pedal makes the engine run faster. Letting off (pulling the control back) makes the car run slower.

MAINTENANCE
CARE AND CLEANING OF PLATED SURFACES
IMPORTANT: You must clean all the fingerprints and oils from the plated surfaces before firing the insert for the first time.
Use warm soapy water and a soft rag, glass cleaner and a paper towel, or vinegar and a paper towel to remove the oils.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners! If not cleaned properly prior to lighting the first fire, the oils can cause permanent stains.
The plating will be cured upon firing of the insert and oils will no longer affect the finish. Subsequently, little maintenance
is then required. Wipe clean as needed with a soft towel.
CARE AND CLEANING OF GLASS
NOTE: Remove all labels from glass prior to lighting the first fire.
Quadra-Fire inserts are equipped with super heat resistant ceramic glass which can only be broken by impact or misuse.
Clean glass with any non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack. Inspect glass
regularly. If you find a crack or break, immediately put the fire out and return the door to your authorized dealer for replace-
ment of glass before further use. Do not substitute materials for glass replacement.
WARNING! DO NOT SLAM INSERT DOOR OR
IMPACT THE GLASS WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR.
MAKE SURE THAT LOGS DO NOT PROTRUDE
AGAINST THE GLASS.
WARNING! DO NOT OPERATE WITH BROKEN
GLASS.
WARNING! DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT.
GLASS REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Replace with 5mm ceramic glass only
1. Remove door from insert and lay on a padded flat surface.
2. Remove glass retainer screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
3. Lift glass out of the door frame and/or side frames.
4. Lay new glass with fiberglass tape around it into door frame and/or side frames.
5. Place glass retainers over the fiberglass tape on the edges of the glass and re-install screws. Be sure glass
is centered in the opening (i.e. same space top and bottom, left and right).
6. Tighten screws enough to hold frame and glass in place.
7. Check again for centering of glass in door and/or side frames and give all screws a final tightening.
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture, and, in turn
forms creosote. These creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue when a fire is newly started, or from a
slowly burning fire, and accumulate on the flue lining of the chimney.
A build up of creosote can then be ignited by sparks rising up the chimney. When ignited, this situation makes an extremely
hot fire which may damage the chimney and even destroy your home. The chimney connector and chimney should be
inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. It is
extremely important that this residue is removed at regular intervals, usually once a year depending on your burning habits,
to prevent the occurrence of a chimney fire. It is highly recommended that you contact a professional chimney cleaner for
this area of maintenance.
CHIMNEY
If your type of installation involves a full reline of the chimney, it will be necessary to either remove the baffle from the insert,
or remove the insert from the fireplace and disconnect the vent prior to cleaning the chimney. Refer to page 21 in this
manual for instructions on Baffle Brick Removal.
If your type of installation is direct connect within a masonry chimney, the insert will need to be pulled out from the fireplace
and disconnected from the flue prior to cleaning the chimney. The creosote can either be caught in a large garbage bag
secured to the pipe or swept and vacuumed out of the fireplace. Reconnect the pipe and reinstall the insert following instal-
lation instructions in this manual on page 10.
