The Hearthwarmer-II Woodburning Insert 5
Warranty
From the date of purchase, The Hearthwarmer-II has a
full warranty of:
1 - Year Warranty on all the electrical components
3 - Year Warranty on the steel tubing.
Bar grate is not covered.
The unit must be installed and operated in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions or the warranty will
be voided. Damage due to shipping, mis-use or abuse
is not covered. Damage due to failure to run the blower
during operation will void the warranty.
The shipping cost to return the unit is not covered.
1. Fire
Set logs and/or kindling on The Hearthwarmer-II and light
as normal. Due to oils used in the manufacturing process,
there will be some smoke and odor produced on the ini-
tial fi re. This is normal and will dissipate with use. Placing a
moist towel over the outlet grille (left side of the front grille)
will help diffuse any smoke that may come into the room.
2. Blower
The blower is thermostatically controlled and will turn itself
on as the heat exchanger warms up. The blower speed
can be regulated using the rheostat knob located on the
right side of the front grille. BLOWER MUST by running when-
ever the appliance is burning. Failure to run the blower
during operation will void the warranty. Air fl ow and hum-
ming noises are normal during blower operation. As the
fi re dies down and heat exchanger cools, the blower will
automatically shut itself off.
3. Ash Removal
When the fi re has cooled down, periodic ash removal from
the fi rebox is necessary to maintain optimum use and ef-
fectiveness.
NOTE: NEVER attempt to remove ashes unless there
is no fi re present and embers are completely cool!
4. Bar Grate
The bar grate serves a dual purpose as a log holder and
providing protection to the heat exchanger tubes. The
bar grate will need to be replaced over a period of time,
depending on rate of individual usage. Bar grate replace-
ment is critical for the protection of the heat exchanger
tubes. The bar grate should never touch the heat exchang-
er tubes. When the grate bar deteriorates to the point it is
nearly touching the heat exchanger tubes, the bar grate
must be replaced. Failure to do so will damage the heat
exchanger tubes and void the warranty.
5. Glass Doors and Ef
fi
ciency
For maximum heating effi ciency, close the fi replace glass
doors after the fi res have ended. Avoid building too large
a fi re as the heat may cause discoloration to your glass
doors and may damage the heat tubing (voiding the war-
ranty).
