1. Before starting the EPA Phase 2 qualified Standard Series
fireplace and DM 54 chimney installation, read these installation
instructions
carefully to be sure you understand them completely. Failure to
follow them could cause fireplace malfunction resulting in serious
injury or property damage.
2. Always check local building codes governing fireplaces and
fireplace installations. The EPA Phase 2 qualified Standard Series
fireplace and DM chimney installation must comply with all local,
regional, state and national codes and regulations.
3. EPA Phase 2 qualified Standard Series fireplace and DM 54
chimney systems are intended for use in any application where
a traditional masonry type fireplace would apply. The chimney
system must always vent vertically to the outside of the building.
4. Creosote and soot formation and the need for removal: When
wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors
which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The
creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a
slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the
flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
Because of creosote and soot buildup it is necessary
to inspect and clean the fireplace and chimney prior to use and
periodically during the heating season. Cleaning of the fireplace
and the chimney system should be done annually at a minimum. In
colder climates, chimney cleaning may need to be done periodically
throughout the heating season.
5. Before servicing, allow the fireplace to cool. Always shut off
any electricity or gas to the fireplace while working on it.
6. Use only solid fuel or natural or LP gas log sets in this unit. Do
not use artificial wax based logs, chemical chimney cleaners or
flame colorants in this fireplace.
7. Never use gasoline, kerosene, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a
fire in this fireplace. Keep all flammable liquids at a safe distance
from the fireplace.
8. Always keep the flue damper open when heat is present in the
fireplace.
9. Do not use a fireplace insert or any other product not specified
for use with the EPA Phase 2 qualified Standard Series fireplace
and DM 54 chimney systems unless written authorization is given
by Isokern. Failure to heed this warning may cause a fire hazard
and will void the Isokern warranty.
10. This fireplace is not intended to heat an entire home or to be
used as a primary heat source. It is designed to ensure homeowner
comfort by providing supplemental heat to the room.
11. Always ensure that an adequate supply of replacement
combustion air from the outside of the house is accessible to
the fire to support normal combustion. Fireplaces consume large
volumes of air during the normal firing process.
In the event the home is tightly sealed and has modern
energy efficient features, the optional combustion air supply kits
may not provide all the air required to support combustion and the
proper flow of combustion gases up the chimney.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any smoking
or related problems that may result from the lack of adequate
air supply flowing into the house. It is the responsibility of
the builder/contractor to ensure that adequate air supply has
been provided for the fireplace.
12. “Smoke free” operation is not warranted nor is the
manufacturer responsible for inadequate system draft caused
by mechanical systems, general construction conditions,
inadequate chimney heights, adverse wind conditions or
any unusual environmental conditions or factors beyond the
manufacturer’s control.
Caution: When used with the EPA Phase 2 qualified Standard
Series fireplace system, all gas log sets must be operated with
the damper clamped in the fully open position. This includes
unlisted “vent free” log sets. Only listed “vent free” log sets
may be operated with the damper in the closed position.
13. When in doubt about a component’s usability - has
visible or suspected physical damage - consult your Isokern
distributor or authorized Isokern representative for advice.
14. Modification to STANDARD components not mentioned
in this manual may void claims, listings and approvals
and could result in an unsafe and potentially dangerous
installation.
Alterations to the STANDARD firebox are allowed
with prior written approval and instructions from Earthcore
Industries, LLC. The installer indemnifies the manufacturer
of all claims and under no circumstances will manufacturer
be liable for consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive or
other damages of any kind or nature, whether foreseeable or
not, based on any claim by any party as to the modifications
of the Isokern fireplaces.
15. Wherever insulation is used, the EPA Phase 2 qualified
Standard Series fireplace must not be placed directly against
it. Keep all insulation or vapor barriers a minimum of three
inches (3”) away from all fireplace and chimney components.
It is recommended that insulation and vapor barriers, if used,
first be covered with gypsum board, plywood, particle board
or other material to assure that insulation and vapor barriers
remain in place.
WARNING: Do not pack required air spaces with insulation
or other materials.
16. Never leave children unattended when there is a fire
burning in the fireplace.
17. Burning some fuels (such as charcoal) can be hazardous
due to the possibility of producing carbon monoxide, a
colorless, odorless gas. Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble flu symptoms, including headaches,
dizziness or nausea. Over exposure to carbon monoxide
can lead to illness and death. It is strongly recommended to
install smoke and carbon monoxide alarm / detector devices
wherever fireplaces are in use.
