B. Seasoned Wood
D. Grate
Properly seasoned wood is important for successful
operation of your fireplace. Most woodburning fireplace
problems are caused by burning wet, unseasoned wood.
This fireplace is designed to be used with the grate sup-
plied with this unit or one approved by HHT. The grate will
break down over time and will need occasional replace-
ment.
Seasoned firewood is wood that is cut to size, split and air
dried to a moisture content of around 20%.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use only the factory-supplied
integral grate.
Imagine a wooden bucket that weighs about eight
pounds. Fill it with a gallon of water, put it in the fireplace
and try to burn it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly
what you are doing if you burn unseasoned wood.
•
•
Keeps logs in place.
Allows proper air circulation around the fire.
A tree cut down a year ago and not split is likely to have
almost as high a moisture content now as it did when it
was cut.
E. Firescreen
The firescreen is provided to control sparks. Keep it
closed when the fireplace is in use.
Please refer to Section 2.M. for more detail.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns!
•
Screen will not prevent burning materials from falling
out.
C. Starting a Fire
•
Screen pulls or handles may be hot.
NOTICE: You must establish a good draft to prevent smoke
spillage into the room.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Keep combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids clear of
the fireplace.
F. Flue Damper
•
•
Refer to Figure 2.1 for location of control.
Must be in fully open position (handle up toward the top
of the fireplace) during operation of the fireplace.
Before lighting the fireplace, verify fully open position by
looking up from the inside of the fireplace.
DO NOT:
•
•
store flammable materials close to the fireplace
use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter
fluid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this
fireplace.
•
WARNING! Risk of Fire and Asphyxiation! Open
damper prior to operating fireplace. A closed damper
overfires the fireplace and spills smoke and flames
into the room.
Keep all flammable liquids well away from the fireplace while
it is in use. Combustible materials may ignite.
•
The first three or four fires should be of moderate size to
allow the oils and binders to be burned from the fireplace
and the refractory and paint to cure. You may notice
an industrial odor the first few fires. This is considered
normal.
G. Refractory
•
The refractory is supplied to contain heat and provide
an attractive interior.
•
It will break down over time and will need occasional
replacement. Small hairline cracks and discoloration are
normal and do not affect its safety.
•
•
•
Use well-seasoned wood.
Open the flue damper to a fully open position.
Place crumpled or twisted paper under the fireplace
grate.
•
(See refractory maintenance Section 3.C.)
•
•
Loosely arrange kindling or small pieces of wood to form
a ‘tent’ on the fireplace grate.
Pre-warm the flue to establish a draft to help reduce
smoke spillage during start-up. Hold a rolled up piece
of burning newspaper under the flue damper for a few
moments.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT burn fireplace with-
out refractory. Use only refractory supplied by Hearth &
Home Technologies, Inc.
•
•
Light the crumpled paper to ignite the kindling.
Add small pieces of wood until a hot bed of embers has
been established.
•
Add a minimum of three average size pieces of split
firewood, placed to allow combustion air and flames
between them.
CAUTION! Odors and vapors released during initial
operation may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
Open windows for air circulation.

•
•
•
Cut logs to size
Split to 6 in. (152 mm) or less
Air dry to a moisture content of around 20%
Hardwood vs Softwood
Your fireplace performance depends on the quality of the
firewood you use.
-
-
Soft wood - about nine months
Hard wood - about eighteen months
•
Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per
pound.
•
•
•
Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.
Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods.
Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower
and are harder to ignite.
Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are
easier to ignite.
Start the fire with soft wood to bring the fireplace up to
operating temperature and to establish draft.
Add hard wood for slow, even heat and longer burn
time.
NOTICE: Seasoning time may vary depending on drying
conditions.
Storing Wood
•
•
•
Steps to ensure properly seasoned wood:
•
•
•
•
Stack wood to allow air to circulate freely around and
through woodpile.
Elevate wood pile off ground to allow air circulation
underneath.
Smaller pieces of wood dry faster. Any piece over 6 in.
(152 mm) in diameter should be split.
Wood (whole or split) should be stacked so both ends
of each peice are exposed to air. More drying occurs
through the cut ends than the sides.

•
•
•
•

• Oak
• Maple
• Apple
• Birch

•
Store wood under cover to prevent water absorbtion
from rain or snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends
completely.
WARNING! Fire Risk! DO NOT store wood:
•
•
In front of the fireplace.
In space required for loading or ash removal.
Moisture
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
•
•
DO NOT burn wet or green wood.
Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of
creosote.
Processed Solid Fuel Firelogs
Manufactured firelogs may be used with this fireplace.
Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends the use of
UL Classified processed fuel firelogs. Follow the manufac-
turer’s lighting and safety instructions.
The majority of the problems fireplace owners experience
are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.
•
Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate
the water instead of heating your home, and
Evaporating moisture cools your chimney, accelerating
formation of creosote.
Using firelogs may require more frequent chimney inspec-
tion and cleaning.
•
Do not poke or stir the logs while they are burning. Use
only firelogs that have been evaluated for the application
in manufactured fireplaces and refer to firelog warnings
and caution markings on packaging prior to use.

B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning
A. Disposal of Ashes
Frequency: At least twice a year during heating season
or as recommended by a certified chimney sweep
By: Certified chimney sweep
Frequency: When they reach bottom of grate
By: Homeowner
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashes could contain hot em-
bers.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ignited creosote is extremely
HOT. Prevent creosote buildup.
•
•
Place ashes in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
The closed container 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.
Refer to Figure 3.1 to remove/reinstall termination caps.
Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to
form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the rela-
tively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When
ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
•
WARNING! Risk of Fire! A chimney fire can permanently
damage your chimney system and nearby structures.
In the event of a chimney fire, Hearth & Home Technolo-
gies Inc. recommends
•
•
replacement of the chimney, and
inspection of the adjacent structure to the provisions of
NFPA Level III inspection criteria.
The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a year
during the heating season to determine when a creosote
buildup has occurred.
When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

periodic replacement depending on use.
The panels should be replaced if
•
•
•
Cracks exceed ¼ inch (6 mm) in width,
Metal is exposed behind the refractory,
Large pieces of refractory fall out.
D. Inspect Grate

Troubleshooting Guide
4
Start Fire Problems
Possible Cause
Solution
Can’t get fire started
Excessive smoke or spillage
Burns too slowly
Not enough kindling/paper or no Use dry kindling, more paper. Arrange kindling &
kindling/paper
wood for air movement.
Damper closed/not fully open
Not enough air for fire to ignite
Open damper.
Smolders, sizzles
Check for restricted cap/shroud.
Open air kit (if installed).
Check for flue blockage.
Pre-warm flue before starting fire (refer to starting
fire section).
Check for adequate vent height (refer to chimney
assembly section).
Open window below the fireplace towards the
wind.
Wood condition is too wet, too
large
Use dry, seasoned wood (refer to wood fuel
section).
Bed of coals not established
before adding wood
Start with paper & kindling to establish bed of
coals (refer to starting fire section).
Flue blockage such as birds’
nests or leaves in termination
cap
Have chimney inspected for creosote and cleaned
by a certified chimney sweep.
Down draft or negative pressure Do not use exhaust fans during start-up (refer to
Competition with exhaust
devices
negative pressure section).
Open window below the fireplace towards the
wind.
Fire burns too fast
Extremely dry or soft wood
Mix in hardwood.
Mix in less seasoned wood after fire is established
(refer to wood fuel section).
No glass doors
Overdrafting
Add glass doors to slow down air flow.
Check for correct vent height; too much vertical
height creates overdrafting.
Check location of vent termination (refer to
chimney assembly section).

B. Design and Installation Considerations
D. Negative Pressure
WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure
can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Fire
must draft properly for safe operation.
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
•
•
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire
officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able for the fireplace to operate properly. It can be stron-
gest in lower levels of the house.
Causes include:
Before installing, determine the following:
•
•
•
Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
Range hoods
Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
and other combustion appliances
Clothes dryers
•
•
•
•
•
•
Where the fireplace is to be installed
The vent system configuration to be used
Gas supply piping
Electrical wiring
Framing and finishing details
•
•
Location of return-air vents to furnace or air
conditioning
Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch or remote control—are desired
•
•
Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
Upper level air leaks such as:
- Recessed lighting
NOTICE: Junction box should be installed during initial
setup to avoid major reconstruction.
- Attic hatch
- Duct leaks
C. Draft
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fireplaces
successfully. When a fireplace is drafting successfully, all
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the
chimney.
•
•
•
•
Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing
winds during the heating season
Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment
Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace
Avoid installing the fireplace near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces
Considerations for successful draft include:
•
•
Preventing negative pressure
Location of fireplace and chimney
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of the fireplace
system caused by:
•
•
•
Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design
Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams
taped or sealed
•
•
•
•
•
Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
Downdrafts
Tight sealing construction of the structure
Mechanical exhausting devices
Improper location of the chimney
•
Basement installations should be avoided
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends
the use of direct vent fireplaces in basements.

E. Locating Fireplace & Chimney
Location of the fireplace and chimney will affect perfor-
mance.
•
Install within the warm airspace enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die-down of the fire.
•
•
Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the effects of wind loading.
Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.
Minimize the use of chimney offsets.
•
•
Consider the fireplace location relative to floor and ceiling
and attic joists.
•
Take into consideration the termination requirements in
Section 8 and Section 9.
NOTICE: Locating the fireplace in a basement or in a location
of considerable air movement can cause intermittent smoke
spillage from fireplace. Do not locate fireplace near
•
•
frequently open doors
central heat outlets or returns
Recommended Location:
• Above peak
• Inside heated space
Recommended Location:
• Above peak
Marginal Location:

B. Using Offsets/Returns
•
•
Use an offset/return to bypass overhead obstructions.
An offset and return can be used as a single entity or separated by chimney section(s).
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT use offset/returns greater than 30°. Chimney draft will be restricted and could cause
overheating and fire.
•
•
•
Measure the shift needed to avoid the overhead obstruction. Refer to dimension A in Figure 8.3.
Find the appropriate A dimension listed in Table 8.2.
The B dimension coinciding with the A dimension measurement in Table 8.2 represents the required vertical clearance
needed to complete the offset/return.
•
Read across the chart to find the number of chimney sections/model numbers needed between the offset and return.
Example:
A
Your “A” dimension from Figure 8.3 is 14 1/2 in. (368
mm). Using Table 8.2 the dimension closest to, but not
less than 14 1/2 in. (368 mm) is 15 3/4 in. (400 mm) using
a 30° offset/return.
B
You determined from the table that you would need
36 5/8 in. (930 mm) (Dimension “B”) between the offset
and return.
The chimney component that best fits your application is
two SL1112s.

C. Assemble Chimney Sections
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT install substitute or
damaged chimney components.
•
Use only those components described in this manual.
Substitute or damaged chimney components could impair
safe operation and cause overheating and fire.
•
Support the pipe during construction and check to be
sure inadvertent loading has not dislodged the chimney
section from the fireplace or at any chimney joint.
Attach a straight chimney section or an offset to the top
of the fireplace.
Place inner flue to the inside of the chimney section below
it. Place the outer casing outside the outer casing of the
chimney section below it. Refer to Figure 8.4.
•
•
Figure 8.4 Assembling Chimney Sections
NOTICE: Chimney sections cannot be disassembled
once locked together. Plan ahead!
•
Lock chimney sections and/or offsets/returns together by
pushing downward until the top section meets the stop
bead on the lower section.
•
•
Pull on the top section to make sure it is fully engaged
and will not separate.
You may use #6 or #8 sheet metal screws no longer than
1/2 in. (13 mm) to fasten chimney sections together. Do
NOT penetrate inner flue.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST use screws (pro-
vided) to fasten offset/returns to chimney sections to
keep the chimney parts from twisting. Failure to do so
could cause fire.
•
Fasten offset/returns to chimney sections. Insert the
screws (provided) through the predrilled holes. Do NOT
penetrate inner flue.
•
•
Secure chimney returns with hanger straps provided;
fasten to studs or joists.

Chase Installations

Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with
high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass
insulation. If the fireplace is being installed on a cement
slab, we recommend that in cold climates, a sheet of
plywood or other raised platform be placed underneath to
prevent conducting cold up into the room.
A. Construct the Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that
run on the outside of a building must be installed inside a
chase.
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build-
ing. These instructions are not substitutes for the require-
ments of local building codes. Local building codes MUST
be checked.
Three examples of chase applications are shown in Fig-
ure 9.2.
1. Fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase.
2. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in chase.
3. Chase constructed on roof.
A chase should be constructed in the manner of all
outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting
problems. The chase should not break the outside build-
ing envelope in any manner. All outer walls need to be
insulated.
Note: In cooler climates, all chase walls should be insulated.
Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling firestops
at each floor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear
space to control spread of fire.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor at the first
level of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 9.1.
Vapor and air infiltration barriers should be installed in the
chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Ad-
ditionally, Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that
the inside surfaces be sheet rocked and taped (or the use
of an equivalent method) for maximum air tightness.
