during its installation. Fans are standard equipment for
WMC and BFC units.
NOTE: CFM Corporation Forced Air Systems are
designed to distribute heat at a specific cfm rate.
Any attempt to increase air movement through the
heat exchanger will decrease the heat transfer time
which will result in cooler heat circulation tempera-
tures.
Energy efficient options such as glass doors and fans
(Heat-circulating models) can easily be added after
your original fireplace installation. Refer to Page 11 for
description and proper model number.
How to Operate Your Fireplace
Your fireplace can provide countless hours of pleasure
and security. However, use your fireplace carefully
because any time you build a fire inside a house, a
problem may develop.
1. Open Flue Damper
The flue damper is meant to be closed only when the
fire is completely out and the fireplace is not in use.
This prevents the loss of room air up the open flue. Re-
member, the damper must always be in the “fully open”
position when a fire is burning.
WMC Damper:
The WMC Series fireplace flue damper
is “opened” and “closed” by a knob located just below
the top outlet grille. (Fig. 1) The damper is adjustable
and may be adjusted to a partially open position as
long as the glass doors are closed and smoke buildup
does not occur in the firebox. Most efficient operation is
obtained in the least open position. When refueling, fully
open damper before opening glass doors.
BR, BC, BCMH, TF, TL, CR, SR, ODSR and SC Se-
ries Damper:
The flue damper is located in the dome
area in the middle of the firebox. The damper is opened
by rotating the lever to the right. The damper is closed
by pushing the lever to the left and is locked closed by
the damper clip located on the dome.
The damper is
not adjustable and must only be operated in the
fully open position.
(Fig. 2)
STR, TST & CVR Series Damper:
The flue damper
is located in the dome area in the middle of the fire-
box. The damper is opened by pushing the lever in an
upward direction. The damper is closed by pulling the
lever down toward the hearth brick at the bottom of the
fireplace.
The damper is not adjustable and must
only be operated in the fully open position.
(Fig. 3)
SHR, ODSHR & TSH Series Damper:
The flue damp-
er is “opened” and “closed” by an actuator handle and
linkage located in the front of the combustion dome of
the fireplace.
The damper is not adjustable and must
be operated in the fully open position.
(Figs. 4 & 5)
EWF Series Damper:
The flue damper control is locat-
ed in the upper right corner of the fireplace. The damper
is open when the lever is rotated clockwise and pulled
out on the EWF36A and pulled out on the EWF30.
Open the damper to start or revive a fire. The damper is
closed when pushed in. For the EWF36A only, when the
damper is in the open position, with the lever pulled out,
and rotated in the fully clockwise direction, the handle
can ‘telescope’ back without closing the damper or any
damper movement. There are no intermediate settings
for the damper.
