1.7 GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
•
Before beginning your installation, consult with your local building code agency or fi re offi cials and
insurance representative to ensure compliance.
•
Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a
window near the appliance.
•
Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before fi ring the appliance as the paint will be-
come soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on your
appliance burn your appliance moderately hot during the fi rst few fi res.
•
To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door
every 5-10 minutes.
• For
the
fi rst two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide
open for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel. The
initial heat output will be reduced while the moisture is bring drawn from the appliance and it will be
necessary to build several hot fi res to remove this moisture.
DURING THIS PROCESS DO NOT
OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE APPLIANCE IF
THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.
1.8 CALIFORNIA PROP 65
Use of this product may produce smoke which contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
2.0 INSTALLATION
!
WARNING
Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.
Carefully follow the instructions for assembly of the pipe and other parts needed to install the appliance. Failure to
do so may result in a fire, especially if combustibles are too close to the appliance or chimney and air spaces are
blocked, preventing the free movement of cooling air.
Do not draw outside air from garage spaces. Exhaust products of gasoline engines are hazardous.
Do not install outside air ducts such that the air may be drawn from attic spaces, basements or above the roofing
where other heating appliances or fans and chimneys exhaust or utilize air. These precautions will reduce the
possibility of appliance smoking or air flow reversal. The outside air inlet must remain clear of leaves, debris ice
and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while appliance is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause smoke
spillage and an inability to maintain a fire. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms.
To prevent contact with sagging or loose insulation, the appliance must not be installed against
vapour barriers or exposed insulation. Localized overheating could occur and a fire could result.
Do not use makeshift compromises during installation. Do not block or restrict air, grille or louvre openings. Do not
add a hood.
For reduced clearances installation must comply with NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365. For clearances when
installed with rear shield, see "EPRS OPTIONAL REAR SHIELD INSTALLATION" section.
