safety decal

If this ﬁreplace is not properly installed, a house ﬁre could re-

sult. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Contact

your local authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal

building department or ﬁre department) regarding restrictions

and installation requirements, and the need to obtain a permit.

1. For use with SOLID FUEL ONLY. Do not use any other type of fuel.

2. Burn dry, split, seasoned wood fuel.

3. To avoid glass breakage, DO NOT slam the ﬁreplace door.

4. DO NOT use the ﬁreplace with the door closed if the glass is

cracked or broken. Replace the glass before using the glass door

again.

5. DO NOT ever use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,

charcoal lighter ﬂuid, or similar liquids to start or freshen up a ﬁre.

Keep all such liquids well away from the ﬁreplace while it is in use.

6. DO NOT use logs that are longer than 18".

7. DO NOT overﬁre the ﬁreplace. Burn a maximum of 3 medium

split logs. See complete warning.

8. DO NOT operate the ﬁreplace with both the ﬁre screen and door

open. One of the two should always be closed while having a ﬁre.

9. DO operate the ﬁreplace with the door either fully closed or

fully open. If the door is left partly open, it will increase the burn

rate and permanently damage the ﬁreplace.

10. Keep all combustible materials (furniture, ﬁrewood, etc.) at least

4' away from the front of the ﬁreplace.

11. DO NOT use a ﬁreplace grate or other products not speciﬁed for

use with this ﬁreplace.

13. CAUTION: Your warranty will be null & void if making compromises

during installation & operation. Follow the guidelines within this

manual.

14: DO NOT terminate combustion air inlet ducting into attic spaces.

15. CAUTION: This appliance requires the need for room air for com-

bustion. Ensure there is enough ventilation air within the home for

the safe operation of all appliances at the same time. Starving ap-

pliances for air can cause severe back drafting, negative pressure

and nuisance outages. This appliance has an optional outside air

kit which can be purchased. This option is highly recommended

to prevent back drafting, negative pressure and nuisance outages.

Safety Warnings

THE CF780 IS CAPABLE OF BURNING CLEANLY PRIMARILY BECAUSE

IT HAS BEEN ENGINEERED TO QUICKLY BURN VERY HOT. THIS

RESULTS IN A BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN FIRE BUT CAN CAUSE DURABIL-

ITY PROBLEMS IF THE UNIT IS REGULARLY OVERLOADED AND/OR

OPERATED CONTINUOUSLY WITH LARGE WOOD LOADS. THE CF780

IS PRIMARILY A DECORATIVE APPLIANCE AND ACCORDINGLY LESS

EFFICIENT THAN A WOOD BURNING STOVE SO THERE IS NO BENEFIT

TO BURNING LARGE WOOD LOADS.

THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WILL ENSURE YOUR FIREPLACE BURNS

BEAUTIFULLY WHILE MAINTAINING ITS DURABILITY:

APPROXIMATE MAXIMUM LOG SIZE: 18" LONG, MAXIMUM LOAD: NO

MORE THAN 3 MEDIUM SPLIT LOGS.

THIS WOOD LOAD IS MORE THAN EFFICIENT TO FILL THE FIREBOX

COMPLETELY WITH FLAMES AND PROVIDE A LARGE AMOUNT OF

RADIANT HEAT.

THE CF780 WILL BURN WITH LARGE HIGH FLAMES REGARDLESS

OF HOW THE WOOD IS PLACED IN THE UNIT. STACKING THE WOOD

TEEPEE-STYLE AGAINST THE BACK OF THE FIREPLACE IS ACCEPTABLE.

IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SIGNS APPEAR IN YOUR FIREPLACE THEN

YOU ARE OVERFIRING:

- THE SCREEN CHANNEL IS WARPED

- THE DOOR CHANNEL IS WARPED

WARNING: OVER FIRING THE CF780 WILL CAUSE DURABILITY

PROBLEMS.

Creosote: Formation and Removal

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which

combine with the expelled moisture from the wood to form creosote. The

creosote vapors can condense in the relatively cool chimney of a slow burn-

ing ﬁre. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot ﬁre. The chimney

should be inspected periodically during the heating season to see if a creosote

build-up has occurred. If a signiﬁcant layer of creosote has accumulated (¼”

or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney ﬁre.

Fuel Wood

We recommend always burning your ﬁreplace with split, dry, seasoned wood

logs. Do not use construction scraps (e.g. 2x4 or plywood scraps) as your

only supply of fuel as you can overheat and seriously damage the ﬁreplace.

WARNING: BURN DRY WOOD ONLY.

DO NOT BURN DRIFTWOOD, TREATED WOOD, COAL,

GARBAGE, OR PLASTIC.

16. Do not use Composite/Bio logs as this can cause extreme temperatures

and cause severe damage within the ﬁreplace. Use of these logs will null

and void your warranty.

17. Do not install in a sleeping room.

18. The structural integrity of the manufactured home ﬂoor, walls,and ceiling

roof must be maintained.

19. DO NOT INSTALL a gas log lighter. This is not permitted for use with this

ﬁreplace.

Installation

Check with your local authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal

building department, ﬁre department, ﬁre prevention bureau, etc.)

regarding restrictions and installation requirements, and the need to

obtain a permit.

WARNING: IF THIS FIREPLACE IS NOT PROPERLY

INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE CAN RESULT. FOR YOUR

SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

AND CLEARANCES. DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR

SPACES WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.

Location

The CF780 must be installed within the vapor barrier of the home. It

cannot be installed outside, or on a three season porch.

Your CF780 ﬁreplace may be installed in different ways (see Diagram

of framing examples).

Speciﬁcations of the ﬁreplace along with clearances are shown in

Diagram 1, Diagram 2, Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3. We recommend

that you take the time to plan your entire installation (ﬁreplace and

chimney) before beginning the actual installation (refer to General

Installation next page).

1. Note the location of roof and ﬂoor joists. Choose a location cutting

them if possible.

2. Do not build shelves or cupboards in the area above the ﬁreplace.

This space must be kept empty.

3. We recommend the chimney be installed in the interior of the build-

ing as it will provide better performance than an exterior chimney.

In areas with continuous temperatures below 32°F (0°C) the use

of an exterior chimney may result in operating problems such as

poor draft and excessive condensation of combustion products. If

you do install an exterior chimney we recommend that you install it

within an insulated enclosure (see Installation: Chase Enclosure).

WARNING: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or

the vapor barrier coming in contact with the appliance body, it is

recommended that the walls of the enclosure be ﬁnished off with

drywall as you would ﬁnish any other interior/insulated wall of a

home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained

within the cavity. Objects placed in front of the appliance but not

limited to such as sofa's, furniture,etc., must be kept a minimum of

48" (1219 mm) away from the front face of the appliance.

Ceiling Clearance

The ceiling clearance varies depending if the ﬁreplace is installed on

a non-combustible ﬂoor or on a combustible ﬂoor.

On a non-combustible ﬂoor with a non-combustible ﬂoor structure,

the ceiling clearance is the distance from the base of the ﬁreplace to

the ceiling.

On a combustible ﬂoor or on a combustible ﬂoor structure, you need

to install the ﬁreplace on the ﬁreplace bottom standoff thus the ceiling

clearance is the distance from the base of the ﬁreplace bottom standoff

to the ceiling.

For ceiling clearance requirements refer to Table 1 (D).

Chase Ventilation Grills

The unit is supplied with four (4) ventilation grills for the chase/ﬁreplace cavity. Each grill must have a minimum of

28.5 square inches of open area. The total minimum open area of chase ventilation is 114 square inches with a

minimum of 57 square inches at the ceiling level and 57 square inches at the ﬂoor level. The grills must be installed

so there is 57 square inches of open area at the ceiling level and 57 squares inches of open area at the ﬂoor level.

Alternatively, two larger grills (not supplied) may be installed but must be a minimum of 57 square inches of open

area each.

Do not remove cover chase grills. These are mandatory and required to ensure there is no overheating

of the chase cavity.

Chase ventilation grills are required for all installs. The ventilation grills must be installed within the home to prevent

moisture buildup with in the chase/ﬁreplace cavity.

Note: The ventilation grills must be located within the conﬁnes of the framed chase.

Flooring Requirements

Before installing your CF780, make sure the ﬂoor surface and ﬂoor structure

can sustain the weight of the complete ﬁreplace and whatever ﬁnishing material

you will use to cover the facing of your ﬁreplace.

You can install your ﬁreplace at the ﬂoor level or build a platform to elevate

it to the desired height. Again, make sure the platform is level and built to

sustain the weight of the ﬁreplace and ﬁnishing material you will use to ﬁnish

the facing of your ﬁreplace.

Note: If the appliance has 3-1/2" of non combustible material under the full

width and depth of the ﬁreplace, the bottom standoff is not required.

Combustible Floor: Bottom standoff

If the CF780 is installed on any type of combustible ﬂoor surface or structure,

you MUST install the ﬁreplace onto the ﬁreplace bottom standoff provided with

the ﬁreplace. You must also reinforce the sub-ﬂoor to help spread the load from

the legs of the bottom standoff throughout the ﬂoor structure to prevent sagging.

2. Determine location , level the unit, and secure to the ﬂoor.

1. Assemble the bottom standoff shield to both supports (see Diagrams below)

using eight large self-tapping screws.

Diagram 1 - Installing the Fireplace Bottom Standoff

3. Position the bottom standoff on the ﬂoor along with the spark guard (refer

to the “Hearth Extension” section for additional information). Use Diagram 2

to help in properly locating the bottom standoff and the spark guard based

on the silhouette of the entire ﬁreplace which includes the back and angled

sides’ standoffs.

4. Using at least 1-½" wood screws (not provided), solidly attach both left

and right sides of bottom standoff to the ﬂoor, as well as the front and back

of the inner sides, as shown in Diagram 3. If possible, attach the bottom

standoff to the ﬂoor joists below using 3" wood screws (not provided).

5. Install the ﬁreplace onto the ﬁreplace bottom standoff making sure that

the base of the ﬁreplace is aligned with the bottom standoff as shown in

Diagrams 1 and 2.

Outside Air Duct–Optional (Part# 096-915)

After the ﬁreplace is correctly positioned, connect the outside air inlet of the ﬁreplace to the outside (see adjacent Diagram).

The air inlet MUST be at least 5' below the top of the chimney ﬂue and must never terminate in attic spaces.

A 4" diameter duct can be used if the total duct run is less than 20'. For longer runs, use 5" diameter duct.

1. Find a convenient location for the combustion air duct and outside air inlet. The outside air inlet can be above or below

ﬂoor level.

2. Make a 4 ¼” (5 ¼” if using a 5” diameter duct) hole in the outside wall of the house. Push the outside air hood in from

the outside. Seal the joint between the air hood and the outside wall with an appropriate sealant.

3. Place the insulated ﬂexible duct over the round sleeve on the outside air hood. At both ends, carefully pull back the

insulation and plastic cover, exposing the ﬂexible duct. Then at each end, attach the duct with supplied metal screws

to the air hood and to the ﬁreplace connecting sleeve. Carefully push the insulation and cover back over the duct. Tape

the plastic cover in place with 2” aluminum duct tape (not supplied).

We recommend that the minimum height be increased by approximately 1' for every 2000' elevation above sea level. Every 15°, 30° or 45° elbow also

increases the minimum height by 1'. For example, if you are living 6000' above sea level, your chimney should terminate at least 15’ from the top of the

ﬁreplace (12’ + 3’ for the 6000’). See Table 4 for more precise recommended ﬂue heights.

** 45 degree elbows are not permitted for use in the U.S.A.

WARNING: THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE CHIMNEY

AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL MUST BE 2’’ OR MORE.

DO NOT FILL THIS AREA WITH INSULATION.

1. Cut and frame the required holes in the ﬂoor(s), ceiling(s) and roof

where the chimney will pass through. The rough opening in the fram-

ing is 18" square (the opening can be slightly bigger, up to 18 ½", but

NEVER smaller).

2. At each ﬂoor where the chimney passes through, you must install a

radiation shield.

a. Start by locating the shorter circular shield and remove the screws

that attach the ring at one end. Keep the ring and all the screws; you

will need to reinstall it later.

b. Locate the ﬁrestop plate and bend the two tabs downwards so they

extend through the circular cutout. Insert the shorter circular shield

through the ﬁrestop plate. It will extend below the ﬁrestop plate and

rest on the bent end.

c. Install this portion of the radiation shield from below into the framed

opening.

d. Install some chimney lengths so that the chimney extends at least

24” above the ﬂoor structure.

3. At the attic level, install a radiation shield as explained above and a

storm collar.

The chimney must extend at least 3' above its point of contact with the

roof and at least 2’ higher than any wall, roof, or building within 10’ of

it. If the chimney is higher than 5’ above the roof, it must be secured

using a roof brace.

For manufactured homes the roof thimble assembly shall extend com-

pletely through the ceiling/roof cavity of the manufactured home to the

outer most plane of the roof.

4. At the roof, install a roof top shield The two support brackets are adjust-

able depending on the ﬂashing used and the roof pitch. To determine the

position of the two support brackets, ﬁnd the roof pitch in Table 5. Then

identify the ﬂashing that will be used to be able to ﬁnd the associated

installation number. Both support brackets need to be installed in the

holes of the roof top radiation shield corresponding to the installation

number.

5. Put the roof ﬂashing into place. Seal the joint between the roof and the

ﬂashing with rooﬁng tar. For sloping roofs, place the ﬂashing under the

upper shingles and on top of the lower shingles. Secure the ﬂashing to

the roof with rooﬁng nails or screws. If using a ventilated roof ﬂashing,

ensure not to caulk or seal the ventilation openings in the manu-

facture's ﬂashing. Install in the proper orientation as per chimney

manufacturers instructions.

6. Place the storm collar over the chimney and ﬂashing. Seal it around the

chimney with silicone sealer (DO NOT use rooﬁng tar).

7. Fit the rain cap on the chimney. Secure it tightly in place with the screws

provided.

Chimney Installation

Read the all chimney installation manuals to review requirements for supports, bracing, anchors, etc. They can be found under your chimney selection.

Refer to Table 1 (G) for the maximum chimney height that can be supported by the top of the ﬁreplace.

NOTE: It is recommended to enclose chimney with

proper clearances with blown-in insulation.

Chimney installation

CF780 Wood Fireplace | 19

installation

An elbow may be installed directly on top of the ﬁreplace if required. Use

the offset option if you need to clear a joist or pass around a cupboard. See

following Diagrams for example.

- In USA: 30° Maximum - In Canada: 45° Maximum

The maximum number of elbows per system is four, resulting in two offsets

and returns.

Install the ﬁreplace and chimney as described earlier. When you require an

elbow, proceed as follows:

1. Install the elbow. Turn it in the desired direction, and fasten it to the other

section with 4 metal screws at the joints.

2. Install enough lengths to obtain the desired offset. Secure each joint with

4 metal screws.

3. Use another elbow to return the chimney to the vertical direction. Again

fasten it to the other section with 4 metal screws at the joints.

4. Install a roof support, a wall support, or an offset support above each

offset to support the weight of the chimney (elbows are not designed to

support the chimney above an offset).

NOTE: 'Through the wall offset' installation requires installa-

tion of the gravity kit along with chase ventilation grills.

Failure to do so could result in severe overheating of the ﬁreplace

chase cavity.

Offset Chimney Installation Example

Note: Nailing strips differ than shown in diagram

Offset Chimney Through a Wall Example

You can also go through a wall at an angle starting directly at the ﬁreplace as

depicted in Diagram below. An angled wall insulated radiation shield must be

used wherever the chimney passes through an exterior wall.

Make sure to have enough ceiling height for your installation. If the ceiling height

is too low for the planned installation you may want to consider installing the

ﬁreplace in an outside chase.

Refer to the angled wall insulated radiation shield installation sheets for detailed

installation instructions.
