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 on this page, 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 inspection. 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 optimum efficiency when the
fireplace is burning clean, dry, cord wood as fireplace fuel. A simple
visual inspection of the chimney during 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 PRODUCTS (IHP) Homeowner's
Guide included with your fireplace for proper fire building technique
and ash removal procedures. These fueling guidelines must be fol-
lowed 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.
The smoke that is usually seen coming out of a chimney is essentially
a combination of unburned fuel (carbon and hydrogen) and moisture
in the form of water vapor. The catalyst is a technology that provides
secondary combustion for the wood burning process.
MAINTENANCE
The PureFire System is a maintenance free technology. Do not attempt
to remove or clean the combustor. The direct flame from the fire will
clean the combustor. Only a certified technician should remove the
unit. To ensure proper fireplace operation, the PureFire System should
be replaced every 3 to 5 years (see
Parts
on page 20).
NOTE:
Chimney smoke may be visible during the first 8 to 10 minutes
of fireplace operation when the fire is first getting started and the
final 8 to 10 minutes of operation while the fire is dissipating. Under
normal operating conditions, you should see little or no smoke coming
out of the chimney. If continuous smoke is visible, make sure only
dry seasoned wood is being burned. If visible smoke continues, the
combustor has ceased to function or there is thermal crumbling. Call
your
IHP distributor or dealer
for replacement parts.

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.
