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.
