U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

Wood-burning Fireplace Program

Phase 2 Qualified models are cleaner and pollute less than those models that 
have not met this emissions level. Exposure to smoke has been associated with 
respiratory illness and other health problems. Models that have lower smoke 
emissions may reduce your risk.

PHASE 2 QUALIFIED

For more information go to www.epa.gov/burnwise

Fireplaces with lower emissions produce less smoke when installed and operated properly.

* EPA has determined, based on testing by an accredited independent laboratory and a certification

of conformity by a nationally recognized certification body, that this model qualifies at the Phase 2 

emissions level for U.S. EPA's Voluntary Fireplace Program. 

For proper operation, catalyst must be replaced every 3 to 5 years.

PUREFIRE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

This  fireplace  is  equipped  with  a  PureFire 

Emission  Control  System.  The  Catalytic 

Hood system reduces particulates emissions 

in a wood burning fireplace to meet the EPA 

Wood-Burning  Fireplace  Program  Phase  2 

emission level. 
The EPA qualifying label, shown below, will be 

affixed to the catalyst. Before lighting the first 

fire, remove and maintain this label in a safe 

place if needed for permits or building inspec

-

tion.  Prior  to  beginning  installation,  contact 

your  local  building  official  to  determine  the 

need to obtain a permit. For proper operation, 

catalyst must be replace every 3 to 5 years.

FUELING GUIDELINES

The fireplace grate must always be secured to 

the retaining brackets provided. The position 

of the grate must be centered against the back 

wall of the firebox.
Burn only dry, seasoned (cured) wood with 

less  than  20%  moisture. Avoid  the  use  of 

treated, painted and laminated wood. Never 

burn garbage or other foreign materials. Do 

not use artificial logs, colored newspaper or 

petroleum based fire starters. Avoid wood with 

high salt content. All of these materials may 

contain  compounds  which  can  shorten  the 

life of the catalyst. Wet or unseasoned wood 

may lower catalytic temperatures and result 

in inefficient operation. 
The catalyst is designed to function at opti

-

mum efficiency when the fireplace is burning 

clean,  dry,  cord  wood  as  fireplace  fuel. A 

simple visual inspection of the chimney dur

-

ing the wood burning process will determine 

catalyst performance. 
The  fuel  load  should  always  be  placed  on 

the back of the grate. Use clean dry wood, 

seasoned  cord  wood  is  the  best  choice. 

Never burn trash, plastics, gasoline, rubber, 

industrial solvents, flammable liquids, naptha, 

household  garbage,  material  treated  with 

petroleum products, leaves, paper products, 

cardboard or salt driftwood. 
Refer to your INNOVATIVE HEARTH PROD

UCTS 

Homeowner's Guide 

included with your 

fireplace for proper fire building technique and 

ash removal procedures. These fueling guide

-

lines  must  be  followed  in  order  to  achieve 

maximum  emissions  performance  from  the 

PureFire System.

OPERATION

The proper use of a wood burning fireplace 

equipped  with  the  catalyst  will  significantly 

reduce the emissions that it produces. Simple 

fuel  considerations  with  regard  to  moisture 

content,  size,  and  quality  of  fuel  will  help 

control  the  production  of  wood  smoke  and 

improve the performance of the catalyst and 

fireplace  efficiency.  With  proper  care,  the 

catalyst  will  provide  years  of  fuel  savings 

and  lowered  emissions.  By  following  some 

simple guidelines, you will ensure maximum 

performance and longevity.
