Safety and
Maintenance
1. Burn only, dry and well seasoned cord wood. The
denser or heavier the wood when dry, the greater its heat
value. This is why hardwoods are generally preferred.
Green or wet wood should not be used, it will reduce
heat output, as well as, contribute signi cantly to creosote
buildup.
WARNING: NEVER USE CHEMICALS OR ANY OTHER
VOLATILE LIQUID TO START A FIRE. DO NOT BURN
GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS
GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, OR ENGINE OIL. WE STRONGLY
RECOMMEND THAT SMOKE DETECTORS BE
INSTALLED.
WARNING: This unit is not designed to be operated with
the  ring door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of
sparks landing on combustibles, an open  re door will
cause the heater to draw excess air from the living space
and possibly cause suffocation.
2. Remove ashes frequently. Embers can roll out the door
and create a  re hazard. Maintain a 1"(25mm) minimum
ash base.
3. The area where boost combustion air enters the  rebox
must be kept clear of excessive ash buildup which will
block air  ow. This area is at the front of the  rebox.
4. If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or poor
wood, it can be cleaned with  replace glass cleaner when
the  replace is cold. Never scrape with an object that might
scratch the glass. The type and amount of deposit on the
glass is a good indication of the  ue pipe and chimney
buildup. A light brown dusty deposit that is easily wiped off
usually indicates good combustion and dry, well-seasoned
wood and therefore relatively clean pipes and chimney.
On the other hand, a black greasy deposit that is difficult
to remove is a result of wet and green wood and too slow
a burning rate. This heavy deposit is building up as quickly
in the chimney.
5. Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burning and  ring
technique. Check daily for creosote buildup until experi-
ence shows how often you need to clean to be safe.
WARNING: ONLY USE MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS
SUPPLIED OR SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER
WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE OR REPLACEMENTS. DO
NOT USE A FIREPLACE INSERT OR OTHER PRODUCTS
NOT SPECIFIED FOR USE WITH THIS FIREPLACE.
6. DOOR GASKETS - The gasket used by Paci c Energy
(7/8"(22mm) medium density  breglass rope) requires
only light pressure to seal. This will prolong seal life. It is
important that the door seal be maintained in good condi-
tion. Periodically inspect seals and replace if necessary.
7. DOOR GLASS - Replacement glass can be obtained from
your dealer. Use 11 3/8"(289mm) x 21 5/8"(549mm) x 5
mm ceramic glass only.
WARNING: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE GLASS WITH ANY
OTHER TYPE MATERIAL OTHER THAN CERAMIC
GLASS
WARNING: DO NOT SLAM LOADING DOOR OR
OTHERWISE IMPACT GLASS. WHEN CLOSING DOOR,
MAKE SURE THAT NO LOGS PROTRUDE TO IMPACT
THE GLASS. IF THE GLASS GETS CRACKED OR
BROKEN, IT MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE USING
THE FIREPLACE.
WARNING: OVER FIRING THE APPLIANCE WILL
SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE PRODUCT. FAILURE
TO RECTIFY AN OVER FIRING CONDITION CAN BE
HAZARDOUS AND MAY VOID THE MANUFACTURER'S
WARRANTY.
To remove broken glass,remove the door gasket and clean out
the screw heads. Remove the screws that hold the retainers
and remove the retainers, noting position for re-assembly.
Remove all particles of glass . Be careful as they are very
sharp. Install new glass complete with gasket. Replace
retainers, screws and gasket.
CAUTION:
- DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, TIGHTEN SCREWS HAND
TIGHT
- DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT
- DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON GLASS
8. Do not store wood within heater installation clearances, or
within the space required for fuel loading and ash removal.
Keep the area around the heater clean and free of loose
combustibles, furniture, newspapers, etc.
9. Instruct all members of your family on the safe operation
of the heater. Ensure they have enough knowledge of the
entire system if they are expected to operate it. Stress the
section on chimney  res and the importance of following
the steps outlined "In the event of Chimney Fire" Page 6.
10. Inspect and clean your chimney system at the beginning
of the burning season before your  rst  re and at least
every two months during the burning season. Inspect
the interior and exterior of the pipe for defects and/or
damage. Remove and inspect the rain cap. Refer to the
chimney system manufacturer's installation instructions
for the procedure to remove and or replace any necessary
components to the chimney system.
11. Maintain a distance of 48"(1.2m) to all combustible materi-
als in the room.

Maintenance
Checks
Check the following parts for damage such as cracks,
excessive corrosion, burned out sections and excessive
warping: (See website for descriptions and more detail)
Weekly:
- Firebrick - Visual, for cracking.
- Door Gasket - sagging, placement, damage.
Monthly
- Brick rail tabs and brick rails.
- Air riser tube in the back of the  rebox.
- Back side of airwash chamber.
- Baffle locking pin.
- Boost manifold cover.
When Cleaning the
Chimney System:
- Top baffle board/blanket.
- Baffle.
- Top heat shield and mounting bolt.
- Baffle Gasket.
- Brick Rails.
- Manifold.
Ash Removal
Caution: Ashes are to be removed only when the heater is
cold. Whenever ashes get 3(76mm) to 4(102mm) inches deep
in your  rebox, and when  re has burned down and cooled,
remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1"
(25 mm) deep on the  rebox bottom to help maintain a hot
charcoal bed.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight  tting
lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed outside
on a non-combustible  oor or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending  nal disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed
in this container.
Blowers:
- The blowers should be cleaned out a minimum annually
by using a vacumn on the intakes on the side of the blower
to remove any dust and debris. The blower is accessed
through the access covers located in the bottom of the and
the air box beneath the  rebox.
Baffle:
- Some warping of the baffle is normal(up to 1/4” or .65cm).
- Replace if the baffle has permanent warping greater than
this or has cracking or breakage.
- Please contact your Dealer if you experience any of the
damage listed above. Continuing to operate your  replace
with broken parts may accelerate damage to other parts
and may void your warranty.
Baffle Removal
The baffle should only be removed when chimney is being
cleaned.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH BAFFLE ASSEMBLY OR
INSULATION REMOVED.
Removal
Remove retaining pin at the rear inside top of the  rebox, just
under the baffle. Lift baffle up and pull forward to disconnect
from the supply tube. Tilt baffle sideways to drop down and
remove from  rebox. Inspect gasket between baffle and sup-
ply tube. If necessary, replace with gasket #SUMB.31396
available from your Paci c Energy dealer. Re-install baffle
assembly in reverse order. Ensure that the two side pieces
of insulation are set inside the side rails and tight against the
baffle. If the insulation is damaged during removal, it should
be replaced.
NOTE: AFTER YOU REMOVE THE BAFFLE, ALWAYS
COVER THE BAFFLE AIR TUBE THAT PROVIDES AIR
TO THE BAFFLE. THIS PREVENTS DEBRIS FALLING
DOWN THE TUBE.
Secondary Air Box Cleaning
1. The secondary air box is located on the bottom rear of
the  replace and can be cleaned by removing the small
access panel on the bottom of the  rebox just in front of
the baffle supply tube. Remove the bricks to expose the
access panel, then remove the 2 screws holding the ac-
cess panel.
2. Use a vacuum to suck out any debris.
3. Replace the access panel. Replace the gasket if needed.
* MAKE SURE THE GASKET IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND
POSITIONED CORRECTLY. IF IT IS DAMAGED THEN
IT MUST BE REPLACED.
Glass Cleaning
If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or poor
wood, it can readily be cleaned with  replace glass cleaner
when the  replace is cold. Never scrape with an object that
might scratch the glass. The type and amount of deposit on
the glass is a good indication of the  ue pipe and chimney
buildup. A light brown dusty deposit that is easily wiped off
usually indicates good combustion and dry, well-seasoned
wood and therefore relatively clean pipes and chimney. On the
other hand, a black greasy deposit that is difficult to remove is
a result of wet and green wood and too slow a burning rate.
This heavy deposit is building up as quickly in the chimney.

Creosote
Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other or-
ganic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively
cool chimney  ue of a slow burning  re. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the  ue lining. When ignited, this
creosote makes an extremely hot  re. The chimney connector
and chimney should be inspected periodically (at least once
every two months) during the heating season to determine if
a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated
(3 mm. or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of
a chimney  re.
1. Highest smoke densities occur when a large amount of
wood is added to a bed of hot coals and the air inlet is
closed. The heated wood generates smoke, but without
ample air, the smoke cannot burn. Smoke-free, clean
burning requires small fuel loads, two or three logs at
a time or 1/4 to 1/2 of fuel load and leaving the air inlet
relatively wide open, especially during the  rst 10 to 30
minutes after each loading, when most of the smoke
generating reactions are occurring. After 30 minutes or
so, the air inlet can be turned down substantially without
excessive smoke generation. Wood coals create very
little creosote-producing smoke.
2. The cooler the surface over which the wood smoke is pass-
ing, the more creosote will be condensed. Wet or green
wood contributes signi cantly to creosote formation as the
excess moisture that is boiled off cools the  re, making
it difficult for the tars and gases to ignite, thus creating
dense smoke and poor combustion. This moisture-laden
smoke cools the chimney, compounding the problem by
offering the smoke the ideal place to condense.
In summary, a certain amount of creosote is inevitable
and must be lived with. Regular inspection and cleaning is
the solution. The use of dry, seasoned wood and ample
combustion air will help to minimize the buildup.
Chimney Fires
The result of excessive creosote buildup is a chimney  re.
Chimney  res are dangerous. Temperatures inside the chim-
ney can exceed 2000° F(1093˚C). This causes much higher
than normal temperatures on its exterior surfaces. Thus
ignition of nearby or touching combustible material is more
likely during a chimney  re. Proper clearances are critical
during such a  re.
Chimney  res are easy to detect; they usually involve one or
more of the following:
-Flames and sparks shooting out of the top of the chimney
-A roaring sound
-Vibration of the chimney
Contact your local municipal or provincial  re authority for
further information on how to handle a chimney  re. It is
most important that you have a clearly understood plan
on how to handle a chimney  re.
In the event of a Chimney Fire
1. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone's safety. Have
a well understood plan of action for evacuation. Have a
place outside where everyone is to meet.
2. Close the air control on the  replace.
3. Call your local  re department. Have a  re extinguisher
handy.
4. After the chimney  re is out, the chimney must be cleaned
and checked for stress and cracks before starting another
re. Also check combustibles around the chimney and
the roof.
- The services of a competent or certi ed installer, (certi ed
by the Wood Energy Technical Training program (WETT) - in
Canada, Hearth Education Foundation (HEARTH) - in U.S.A.,)
are strongly recommended.
Avoiding a Chimney Fire
There are two ways to avoid chimney  res:
1. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a chimney
re is possible.
2. Do not have  res in the heater that may ignite chimney
res. These are very hot  res, such as when burning
household trash, cardboard, Christmas tree limbs, or even
ordinary fuel wood; (e.g.. with a full load on a hot bed of
coals and with the air inlet excessively open.)

Operation
CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP
CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY.
CONTACT WILL CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
WARNING: OVER FIRING THE APPLIANCE WILL SHORT-
EN THE LIFE OF THE PRODUCT. FAILURE TO RECTIFY
AN OVER FIRING CONDITION CAN BE HAZARDOUS AND
MAY VOID THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter  uid or similar liquids to start or
"freshen up" a  re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well
away from the heater while it is in use.
DO NOT BURN :
-Salt water wood * -Treated wood
-Wet or green wood -Coal charcoal
-Garbage/Plastic * -Solvents
* These materials contain chlorides which will rapidly
destroy metal surfaces and void warranty.
Your PACIFIC ENERGY  replace is designed for maximum
overall efficiency at a moderate  ring rate. Over  ring is
hazardous and a waste of fuel. Too slow a burn contributes
to creosote buildup and lowers combustion efficiency.
NOTE: Left and Right as referred to in this manual are consid-
ered your left and right when facing the front of the  replace.
Wood Selection
This  replace is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher
efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning
air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or
to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months
or more. Wet or undried wood will cause the  re to smoulder
and produce large amounts of creosote. Wet wood also pro-
duces very little heat and tends to go out often.
Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal,
can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a tasteless,
odourless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should
you attempt to barbecue in this heater.
How to Test Your Wood
Add a large piece of wood to the  replace when it has a good
large bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more than one
side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights
within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses and blackens without
igniting in  ve minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt.
Lighting for the First Time
Curing of the Paint Finish/Insulation
To achieve the best  nish, the paint on your  replace must be
baked on. When burning your  replace for the  rst 2-3 times
it is very important that the room be well ventilated. Open all
windows and doors. Smoke and fumes caused by the curing
process may cause discomfort to some individuals.
Lighting a Fire
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile
liquid to start a  re.
1. Adjust air control to all the way to the left(High) and open
door.
2. Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater
and crisscross with several pieces of dry kindling. Add a
few small pieces of dry wood on top.
3. Ignite the paper and close the door. (Depending on length
of chimney installation, you may need to hold door open
approximately 1/2"(13mm) until kindling is fully ignited.)
DO NOT LEAVE FIREPLACE UNATTENDED WHILE
DOOR IS OPEN.
4. After the  re has established itself, open the door and add
a few small logs. Close door.
5. Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists and
wood has charred.
Normal Operation
1. Set air control to a desired setting. If smoke pours down
across the glass (waterfall effect) this indicates you have
shut the control down too soon or you are using too low
a setting. The wide range control makes  nding the de-
sired setting for your application easy. As every home's
heating needs vary, (ie. insulation, windows, climate, etc.)
the proper setting can only be found by trial and error and
should be noted for future burns.
2. To refuel, adjust air control all the way to the left(High),
and give the  re time to brighten. Open the door slowly,
this will prevent back puffing.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up to
20"(508mm)). Load your wood and try to place the logs
so that the air can  ow between them. Always use dry
wood.
4. Do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that would
be hazardous when opening the door.
5. For extended or overnight burns, unsplit logs are preferred.
Remember to char the wood completely on maximum
setting before adjusting air control for overnight burn.
WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when burn-
ing. This heater is not designed for open door burning. If
unit is operated with the door open, gas and  ame may
be drawn out of the  replace opening creating risks of
both  re and smoke.
WARNING: No alteration or modi cation of the combus-
tion air control assembly is permitted. Any tampering
will void warranty and could be very hazardous.
WARNING: Do not use grates or andirons to elevate the
fuel. Burn directly on the  re bricks. Replace broken or
missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous
condition.
Restarting After Extended or Overnight
Burns
1. Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the
heater. Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of embers,
close door.
2. Adjust air control all the way to the left(High) and in just
a few minutes, logs should begin burning.
3. After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4. To achieve maximum  ring rate, set control to high. Do
not use this setting other than for starting or preheating
fresh fuel loads.
DO NOT OVER FIRE THIS HEATER: ATTEMPTS TO
ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT EXCEED HEATER
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT
DAMAGE TO THE HEATER AND CHIMNEY AND MAY VOID
MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.

Burn rate in Hrs. X .8(80% Avg. Eciency)
Over Firing
Over  ring can be caused by operating the unit with the door
open, damage to door gaskets allowing excess air to enter
the  rebox, the use of kiln dried lumber, mill ends or paper
waste and prolonged or continual use on a high burn setting.
Heat Output Calculation
Seasoned wood has approximately 7500 BTU's per pound.
The calculation is as follows:
Experience will give you the right settings for proper com-
bustion and efficient burning. Remember the correct air inlet
setting is affected by variables such as type of wood, outside
temperature, chimney size and weather conditions. With
practice, you will become pro cient in operating your heater
and will obtain the performance for which it was designed.
Proper Draft
1. Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography,
nearby obstructions and other factors.
2. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in
the appliance. An uncontrollable burn or a glowing red
replace part or chimney indicates excessive draft.
3. Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the room
and plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints indicates
inadequate draft.
Blower Operation
The blower is wired with a thermo switch that will turn on
the blower automatically once the  replace has reached an
appropriate operating temperature.
It is also recommended that the blower be wired to a wall switch
or 3amp approved Fan Speed Controller for manual control.

Fireplace Installation
Crate Removal
1) Carefully remove wood top and supports.
2) Remove the screws securing the  replace to the pallet(4).
3) Remove from pallet bottom.
Warning: Under no circumstances is this heater to be installed
in a makeshift or "temporary" manner. It may be  red only
after the installation conditions have been met.
- DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
- DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
- The services of a competent or certi ed installer, (cer-
ti ed by the Wood Energy Technical Training program
(WETT) - in Canada, Hearth Education Foundation
(HEARTH) - in U.S.A.,) are strongly recommended.
Locating The FP30 Fireplace
The best location to install your  replace is determined by
considering the location of windows, doors, and the traffic  ow
in the room where the FP30 Fireplace is located, allowing space
in front of the unit for the hearth extension and the mantel, and
taking into consideration the location of the chimney. Ideally, you
should choose a location where the chimney will pass through
the house without cutting  oor or roof joists.
Check the adequacy of the  oor by  rst estimating the weight of
the  replace system(approx. 650lbs(295Kg)). Next measure the
area the  replace will occupy. Note the  oor construction and
consult your local building code to determine if any additional
support is needed. In most cases, no additional  oor support is
needed for the FP30  replace.
The FP30  replace may be installed directly on a combustible-
oor or on a raised base. A minimum of 84" measured from the
base of the appliance to the ceiling is required.
The FP30  replace may not be installed in a factory built  replace
unless tested with the  replace. The  replace is not tested.
Wind direction and magnitude can play a factor in the chimney
performance. Therefore the chimney outlet position is important
when locating the  replace.
The  replace must be bolted down using the holes in the legs.
The chimney should:
Penetrate the highest part of the roof.
Be installed as far as possible from roof offsets, trees or any
other obstructions that may cause wind turbulence or back
drafts in the chimney.
The least amount of offsets (elbows) possible.(Max. 4)
CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS A HIGH OUTPUT, HIGH EFFI-
CIENCY FIREPLACE THAT IS CAPABLE OF PRODUC-

Chimney
Installation
Listed Chimney
This appliance must be installed with a 6"(150mm) chimney
system approved under the following standards: CAN-ULC S629(IN
CANADA) AND UL 103HT(IN U.S.).
YOU MUST FOLLOW THE CHIMNEY MANUFACTURER'S
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION OF
ALL CHIMNEY COMPONENTS.
MAINTAIN CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS SPECI-
FIED IN THE CHIMNEY MANUFACTURERS INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
USE APPROPRIATE SUPPORTS, CAPS, FLASHING AND
SHIELDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHIMNEY MANU-
FACTURERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE GENERAL
GUIDELINES ONLY.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE FLOOR,
WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
NOTE: The FP30 can be installed with a minimum 15ft(4.5m)
of chimney with or without offsets.
NOTE: Install all components to the chimney manufacturer's
installation requirements. Consult your chimney supplier for
installation advice.
1. After locating the desired location and framing in the
replace, cut and frame square holes in all  oors, ceil-
ings, and roof that the chimney will pass through as per
chimney manufacturer's instructions. Use a plumb bob to
line up the holes. The chimney support is mounted to the
framing.
2. Maintain minimum clearances, as per chimney manu-
facturer's instructions, between the chimney and any
combustible materials. Do not  ll the space with insulation
or any other combustible material.
3. Install the pipe manufacturer's, Fireplace anchor plate by
inserting it into the  ue collar. Secure with stainless steel
screws. We recommend sealing the joint with  replace
cement. (If using ICC chimney pipe and anchor plate,
you will need to install an Anchor Plate spacer. Part
#FP30.7757)
NOTE: FOR ALL CHIMNEYS, YOU MUST USE THE MANU-
FACTURER'S FIREPLACE ANCHOR PLATE..
4. Assemble chimney sections so the  nished length is rest-
ing on the manufacturer's adapter and protruding through
the roof. Avoid having joints between ceiling and roof. It
is required to secure connections with three (3) ½" (12
mm) metal screws.
5. Install radiation shields,  restops and all pieces necessary
to prevent contact with combustible materials whenever
passing through  oors ceilings or attic spaces.
6. Install the roof support then assemble  ashing and storm
collar and be sure to maintain the vapour barrier at this
point. (Seal securely.)
7. Attach rain cap and check  ashing for leaks.
8. If the chimney extends more than 5'(1.5m) above the point
of contact with the roof, then it must be secured using roof
braces.
Chase
Enclosure
NOTE: THE CHASE ENCLOSURE MUST HAVE A 30in
I(194 cm) AIR INLET. (IN U.S.A. AND CANADA) FOR EV-
ERY REMOTE HEAT KIT INSTALLED WITH THE UNIT. NO
CHASE AIR INLET IS REQUIRED IF NOT INSTALLING A
REMOTE HEAT KIT.
The Chase inlet is to be located a minimum 1-1/2 inch above
the  oor at suggested locations as depicted in Fig 20.
If the chimney runs up the outside of the residence, we recom-
mend it be enclosed in a chase structure. The chase should
be constructed in such a way that it is an extension of the
home. It should be well insulated between the footings and
the  oor of the home to prevent heat loss. We also recom-
mend to insulate the ceiling of the chase just as if it were in
the attic space. This will prevent cold air from dropping down
through the chase and into the room where the  replace is
installed. Some local codes require that the walls be insulated,
vapor sealed and sheathed with a  re rated gypsum board.
We strongly recommend this procedure for all installations to
prevent cold drafts from originating in the  replace enclosure.
NOTE: Check local codes concerning installation requirements
and restrictions in your area.
NOTE: Combustible materials cannot be used in the space
directly above the  replace. Do not  ll the space above the
replace with any material. (except the wood framing)
NOTE: Do not install or fabricate any storage areas, cup-
boards, etc. into the chase enclosure.
The  replace must not be in contact with any insulation or
loose  lling material. Cover the insulation with drywall panels
around the  replace.
It is not required to install a chase outlet but doing so can
provide extra heat into the room as well as ensure better
cooling of the chase.
NOTE: Chase inlet and optional outlet are intended to be in
the same room as the  replace.
Mobile Home Installation:
- In the USA: the unit must be installed in accoradance with
the requirements of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development(HUD)"Manufactured Home Construction
and Safety)
- In Canada: the unit must be installed with access open-
ings into the built in enclosure for inspection purposes
that must require a household tool to open.

Offsets
30° or 45°
ELBOWS
The chimney for the FP30 can be installed with a maximum
of four 45° elbows(in Canada) and four 30° elbows(in U.S.A.)
as shown in Fig. #10.
Installation:
1. Install the  rst elbow; turn it in the required direction. It
is required to secure connections with three (3) #8 x ½"
(12 mm) metal screws.
2. Install the necessary chimney lengths to achieve the
required offset. Lock the chimney lengths together ac-
cording to the chimney manufacturer’s instructions. It is
required to use three (3) #8 x ½" (12 mm) metal screws
at every connection of the chimney. If the offset length is
made of two (2) chimney lengths or more, many chimney
manufacturers require that you use an offset or roof sup-
port halfway up the offset. If penetrating a wall, install a
wall radiation shield supplied by the chimney manufac-
turer and install according to the chimney manufacturer's
installation instructions.
3. Use another elbow to turn the chimney vertically, Secure
the elbow.
4. Use a plumb bob to line up the centre of the hole. Cut
and frame the hole for the chimney in the ceiling/ oor as
per chimney manufacturer's instructions.
5. Install a  restop as per the chimney manufacturer's
instructions.
6. A support must be used on the  rst 15' section (4.6m).
FIG. #10
The chimney may incorporate 2 offsets. To do this safely,
all sections of listed chimney, offset elbows and chimney
sections must be screwed together by at least three sheet
metal screws per joint as per manufacturer's instructions.
The chimney must be suitably supported by the chimney
manufacturer's listed offset support.

Combustion Air
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the  replace in
one of
two ways. Consult your local building code or CAN/CSA-
B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances
and Equipment before proceeding.
NOTE: OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR IS REQUIRED FOR
MOBILE HOMES.
1. Outside combustion air supply - Outside air may be
drawn from either side of the  replace.
To draw outside combustion air, connect the cover plate
on the side you do not wish to draw the air from and con-
nect the outside combustion air adapter(FP30.OAIR) to
the side you wish to draw air from. (Both cover plate and
adpater provided) (Fig. #11).
Outside Combustion Air Adapter
The adapter is only required if outside combustion air is
used.
Installation:
Connect the outside air adapter to the side of the unit
closest to the exterior wall in which you will be connecting
the outside air inlet.
Cut or drill a 4"(100mm) diameter hole in the closest
exterior wall. Cover the hole with a 4" x 4" (100 mm x
100 mm), 20GA wire mesh with minimum1/4"(6mm)
X 1/4"(6mm) spacing, rodent screen and staple/nail
in place. Provide water protection as required. Attach
4"(100mm) venting (not supplied) to adapter. Route com-
bustion air away from  replace. Maximum duct length fo
15'(4.5m)
WARNING: This hole must get its air from the outdoors and
be  nished with an approved vent cap. The use of outside
combustion air for residential installation requires the unit
to be secured to the structure to prevent dislodging of
the air duct. Check local building codes for instruction on
sealing the vent cap at the penetration point of the build-
ing. The combustion air inlet ducts can not terminate in
an attic space or garage.
2. Room air supply - The  replace will always draw air from
the room through the opening beneath the ashshelf and
into the  rebox intake. You must ensure the room has
adequate replacement air to operate the unit.
CAUTION: The living space around the heater must be well
ventilated with good air circulation. Anything that may
cause a negative pressure can cause gases or fumes
to be pulled into the living area. During extremely cold
weather, and especially when burning at very slow rates,
the upper parts of the exposed chimney may ice up,
partially blocking the  ue gases. If blockage occurs,  ue
gases may enter living space.
A typical outside air connection is shown in Fig. #12.
