Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular space within a home, such as a basement family room or an addition that lacks another heat source. 10 HE200-Installation and Operation Manual i Houses of moderate size and relatively new construction can be heated with a properly sized and located wood fireplace. Whole house zone heating works best when the fireplace is located in the part of the house where the family spends most of its time. This is normally the main living area where the kitchen, dining and living rooms are located. By locating the fireplace in this area, you will get the maximum benefit of the heat it produces and will achieve the highest possible heating efficiency and comfort. The space where you spend most of your time will be warmest, while bedrooms and basement (if there is one) will stay cooler. In this way,you will burn less wood than with other forms of heating. Although the fireplace may be able to heat the main living areas of your house to an adequate temperature, we strongly recommend that you also have a conventional oil, gas or electric heating system to provide backup heating. Your success with zone heating will depend on several factors, including the correct sizing and location of the fireplace, the size, layout and age of your home and your climate zone. Three-season vacation homes can usually be heated with smaller fireplaces than houses that are heated all winter. 2.3 The Benefits of Low Emissions and High Efficiency The low smoke emissions produced by the special features inside the HE200 firebox mean that your household will release up to 90 percent less smoke into the outside environment than if you used an older conventional stove. But there is more to the emission control technologies than protecting the environment. The smoke released from wood when it is heated contains about half of the energy content of the fuel. By burning the wood completely, your fireplace releases all the heat energy from the wood instead of wasting it as smoke up the chimney. Also, the features inside the firebox allow you to reduce the air supply to control heat output, while maintaining clean and efficient flaming combustion, which boosts the efficient delivery of heat to your home. The emission control and advanced combustion features of your fireplace can only work properly if your fuel is in the correct moisture content range of 15 to 20 percent. See Section 3: Fuel of this manual for suggestions on preparing fuelwood and judging its moisture. 2.4 The SBI Commitment to You and the Environment The SBI team is committed to protecting the environment, so we do everything we can to use only materials in our products that will have no lasting negative impact on the environment. 2.4.1 What is Your New Fireplace Made Of? The body of your fireplace, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel. Should it ever become necessary many years in the future, almost the entire fireplace can be recycled into new products, thus eliminating the need to mine new materials. The paint coating on your fireplace is very thin. Its VOC content (Volatile Organic Compounds) is very low. VOCs can be responsible for smog, so all the paint used during the manufacturing process meets the latest air quality requirements regarding VOC reduction or elimination. The air tubes are stainless steel,which can also be recycled. HE200-Installation and Operation Manual 11 The baffle is made of stainless steel and cement. It is not considered hazardous waste. Disposal at a landfill is recommended. Moulded refractory bricks are mainly composed of silicon dioxide, also known as silica, a product processed from a mined mineral. It is most commonly found in nature in the form of sand and clay. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.The steel mesh contained in some refractory bricks can be recycled. The door and glassa� skets are made of fibreglass material which is spun from melted sand. Black gaskets have been dipped into a solvent-free solution. Disposal at a landfill is recommended. The doorIg ass is a 5 mm thick glass ceramic material that contains no toxic chemicals. It is made of natural raw materials such as sand and quartz that are combined in such a way to form a high temperature glass. Ceramic glass cannot be recycled in the same way as normal glass, so it should not be disposed of with your regular household products. Disposal at a landfill is recommended. 12 HE200-Installation and Operation Manual i 3.1 Materials That Should Not be Burnt • GARBAGE OF ANY KIND, • COAL OR CHARCOAL, • TREATED, PAINTED OR COATED WOOD, • PLYWOOD OR PARTICLE BOARD, • FINE PAPER,COLORED PAPER OR CARDBOARD, • SALT WATER DRIFTWOOD • MANUFACTURED LOGS CONTAINING WAX OR CHEMICAL ADDITIVES • RAILROAD TIES • LIQUIDS SUCH AS KEROSENE OR DIESEL FUEL TO START A FIRE WARNING: DO NOT POKE OR STIR THE LOGS WHILE THEY ARE BURNING. USE ONLY FIRELOGS THAT HAVE BEEN TESTED FOR USE IN FIREPLACES (SEE ULC/ORD-C127, COMPOSITE FIRELOGS) AND PRIOR TO USE, REFER TO FIRELOG WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS MARKINGS ON PACKAGING. 3.2 How to Prepare or Buy Good Firewood 3.2.1 What is Good Firewood? Good firewood has been cut to the correct length for the fireplace, split to a range of sizes and stacked in the open until its moisture content is reduced to 15 to 20 per cent. 3.2.2 Tree Species The tree species the firewood is produced from is less important than its moisture content. The main difference in firewood from various tree species is the density of the wood. Hardwoods are denser than softwoods. People who live in the coldest regions of North America usually have only spruce, birch and poplar, other low-density species to burn and yet they can heat their homes successfully. Homeowners with access to both hardwood and softwood fuel sometimes use both types for different purposes. For example, softer woods make good fuel for relatively mild weather in spring and fall because they light quickly and produce less heat Softwoods are not as dense as hardwoods so a given volume of wood contains less energy. Using softwoods avoids overheating the house, which can be a common problem with wood heating in moderate weather. Harder woods are best for colder winter weather when more heat and longer burn cycles are desirable. Note that hardwood trees like oak, maple, ash and beech are slower growing and longer lived than softer woods like poplar and birch. That makes hardwood trees more valuable. The advice that only hardwoods are good to burn is outdated. Old, leaky cast iron stoves wouldn't hold a fire overnight unless they were fed i HE200-Installation and Operation Manual 13 i large pieces of hardwood. That is no longer true. You can successfully heat your home by using the less desirable tree species and give the forest a break at the same time. 3.2.3 Log Length Logs should be cut at least 1" (25 mm) shorter than the firebox so they fit in easily. It is very difficult to load the fire with logs that are just a little too long. The most common standard length of firewood is 16" (400 mm). The pieces should be a consistent length, with a maximum of 1" (25 mm)variation from piece to piece. i I 3.2.4 Piece Size Firewood dries more quickly when it is split. Large unsplit rounds can take years to dry enough to burn. Even when dried, unsplit logs are difficult to ignite because they don't have the sharp edges where the flames first catch. Logs as small as 3" (75 mm) should be split to encourage drying. rer iY / Y Wood should be split to a range of sizes, from about 3" to 6" (75 mm to 150 mm) in cross section. Having a range of sizes makes starting and rekindling fires much easier. Often, the firewood purchased from commercial suppliers is not split finely enough for convenient stoking. It is sometimes advisable to resplit the wood before stacking to dry. 14 HE200-Installation and Operation Manual i i 3.2.5 How to Dry Firewood Firewood that is not dry enough to burn is the cause of most complaints about wood fireplaces. Continually burning green or unseasoned wood produces more creosote and involves lack of heat and dirty glass door. See Section 5: Maintaining your wood heating system for concerns about creosote. F\ Here are some things to consider in estimating drying time: • firewood takes a long time to dry • firewood bought from a dealer is rarely dry enough to burn, so it is advisable to buy the wood in spring and dry it yourself • drying happens faster in dry weather than in damp, maritime climates • drying happens faster in warm summer weather than in winter weather • small pieces dry more quickly than large pieces • split pieces dry more quickly than unsplit rounds • softwoods take less time to dry than hardwoods • softwoods like pine, spruce, and poplar/aspen can be dry enough to burn after being stacked in the open for only the summer months • hardwoods like oak, maple and ash can take one, or even two years to dry fully, especially if the pieces are big • firewood dries more quickly when stacked in the open where it is exposed to sun and wind; it takes much longer to dry when stacked in a wood shed • firewood that is ready to burn has a moisture content between15 and 20% by weight and will allow your fireplace to produce its highest possible efficiency 3.2.6 Judging Firewood Moisture Content You can find out if some firewood is dry enough to burn by using these guidelines: • cracks form at the ends of logs as they dry • as it dries in the sun,the wood turns from white or cream colored to grey or yellow, • bang two pieces of wood together; seasoned wood sounds hollow and wet wood sounds dull, • dry wood is much lighter in weight than wet wood, • split a piece, and if the fresh face feels warm and dry it is dry enough to burn; if it feels damp, it is too wet, • burn a piece;wet wood hisses and sizzles in the fire and dry wood does not. HE200- Installation and Operation Manual 15 ., You could buy a wood moisture meter to test your firewood. 3.3 Manufactured Logs Do not burn manufactured logs made of wax impregnated sawdust or logs with any chemical additives. Manufactured logs made of 100% compressed sawdust can be burned, but be J careful burning too much of these logs at the same time. Start with one manufactured log and see how the fireplace reacts. Never use more than two manufactured logs at a time. 16 HE200-Installation and Operation Manual OPERATING • • . • FIREPLACE 4.1 Operation of the retractable doors To take full advantage of the atmosphere of the fire in your fireplace and view of the fire with the fire screen, the HE200 is equipped with easy to use retractable doors. ' 0� Po err �pp00 �p 0 0� 4.2 The Use of a Fire Screen This fireplace has been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a fire screen (VA8420, sold separately). Make sure the fire screen is properly secured on the fireplace to avoid any risk of sparks damaging your flooring. When the fire screen is in use, do not leave the fireplace unattended so that you can respond promptly in the event of smoke spillage into the room. Potential causes of smoke spillage are described in Section 8: The Venting System of this manual. See Appendix 5: Installing the Fire Screen (VA8420)for installation instructions. OPERATING WITH THE FIRE SCREEN INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY OF GENERATING CARBON MONOXIDE. CARBON MONOXIDE IS AN ODOURLESS GAS THAT IS HIGHLY TOXIC AND WHICH CAN CAUSE DEATH AT HIGH CONCENTRATION IN AIR. 4.3 Your First Fires Two things will happen as you burn your first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components of the fireplace are conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they do smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also cause false alarms in smoke detectors. So, when you first light your fireplace, be prepared by opening doors and/or windows to ventilate the house. As you burn hotter and hotter fires, more of the painted surfaces reach the curing temperature of the paint. The smell of curing paint does not disappear until you have burned one or two very hot fires. HE200-Installation and Operation Manual 17 Burn one or two small fires to begin the curing and conditioning process.Then build bigger and hotter fires until there is no longer any paint smell from the fireplace. Once the paint smell disappears, your fireplace is ready for serious heating. 4.4 Lighting Fires Each person who heats with wood develops their own favorite way to light fires. Whatever method you choose, your goal should be to get a hot fire burning quickly. A fire that starts fast produces less smoke and deposits less creosote in the chimney. Here are three popular and effective ways to start wood fires. 4.4.1 Conventional Fire Starting The conventional way to build a wood fire is to bunch up 5 to 10 sheets of plain newspaper and place them in the firebox. Next, place 10 or so pieces of fine kindling on the newspaper. This kindling should be very thin; less than V (25 mm). Next, place some larger kindling pieces on the fine kindling. Open the air control fully and light the newspaper. If you have a tall, straight venting system you should be able to close the door immediately and the fire will ignite. Once the fire has ignited, close the door and leave the air . control fully open._ Aconventional kindling fire with paper under finely split wood. DO NOT LEAVE THE FIREPLACE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPENED.ALWAYS CLOSE AND LATCH THE DOOR AFTER THE FIRE IGNITES. After the kindling fire has mostly burned, you can add standard firewood pieces until you have a fire of the right size for the conditions. CAUTION: PLACE THE WOOD LOGS FAR ENOUGH FROM THE GLASS TO ALLOW PROPER PRIMARY AIR FLOW 4.4.2 The Top Down Fire The top down fire starting method solves two problems with the conventional method: first, it does not collapse and smother itself as it burns; and second, it is not necessary to build up the fire gradually because the firebox is loaded before the fire is lit. A top down fire can provide up to two hours of heating or more. The top down method only works properly if the wood is well-seasoned. 18 HE200- Installation and Operation Manual Start by placing three or four full-sized split pieces of dry firewood in the firebox. Next, place 4 or 5 more finely split pieces of firewood (2" to 3" [50 mm to 75 mm] in dia.) on the base logs at right angles (log cabin style). Now place about 10 pieces of finely split kindling on the second layer at right angles. The fire is topped with about 5 sheets of newspaper. You can just bunch them up and stuff them in between the kindling and the underside of the baffle. Or you can make newspaper knots by rolling up single sheets corner to corner and tying a knot in them. The advantage of knots is that they don't roll off the fire as they burn. Light the newspaper and watch as the fire burns from top to bottom. 4.4.3 Two Parallel Logs Place two spit logs in the firebox. Place a few sheets of twisted newspaper between the logs. Now place some fine kindling across the two logs and some larger kindling across those, log cabin style. Light the newspaper. 4.4.4 Using Fire Starters Many people like to use commercial fire starters instead of newspaper. Some of these starters are made of sawdust and wax and others are specialized flammable solid chemicals. Follow the package directions for use. Gel starter may be used but only if there are no hot embers present. Use only in a cold firebox to start a fire. DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, FUEL OIL, MOTOR OIL, OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE. 4.5 Maintaining Wood Fires 4.5.1 General Advice Wood heating with a space heater is very different than other forms of heating. There will be variations in the temperature in different parts of the house and there will.be variations in temperature throughout the day and night.This is normal, and for experienced wood burners these are advantages of zone heating with wood. Do not expect steady heat output from your fireplace. It is normal for its surface temperature to rise after a new load of wood is ignited and for its temperature to gradually decline as the fire progresses. This rising and falling of temperature can be matched to your household routines. For example, the area temperature can be cooler when you are active, such as when doing housework or cooking, and it can be warmer when you are inactive, such as when reading or watching television. Wood burns best in cycles. A cycle starts when a new load of wood is ignited by hot coals and ends when that load has been consumed down to a bed of charcoal about the same size as it was when the wood was loaded. Do not attempt to produce a steady heat output by placing a single log on the fire at regular intervals. Always place at least three, and preferably more, pieces on the fire at a time so that the heat radiated from one piece helps to ignite the pieces next to it. Each load of wood should provide several hours of heating.The size of each load can be matched to the amount of heat needed. HE200-Installation and Operation Manual 19 When you burn in cycles, you rarely need to open the fireplace's loading door while the wood is flaming. This is an advantage because there is more chance that smoke will leak from the fireplace when the door is opened as a full fire is burning. IF YOU MUST OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THE FUEL IS FLAMING, OPEN THE AIR CONTROL FULLY FOR A FEW MINUTES,THEN UNLATCH AND OPEN THE DOOR SLOWLY. 4.5.2 Ash Removal Ash should be removed from the firebox every two or three days of full time heating. Do not let the ash build up in the firebox because it will interfere with proper fire management. The best time to remove ash is after an overnight fire when the fireplace is relatively cool, but there is still some chimney draft to draw the ash dust into the fireplace and prevent it from coming into the room. After ashes have been removed from the fireplace and placed in a tightly covered metal container, they should be taken outside immediately.The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well away from all combustible materials pending final disposal. Ashes normally contain some live charcoal that can stay hot for several days. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed in this container. NEVER STORE ASHES INDOORS OR IN A NON-METALIC CONTAINER OR ON A WOODEN DECK. 4.5.3 Raking Charcoal Rekindle the fire when you notice that the room temperature has fallen.You will find most of the remaining charcoal at the back of the firebox, furthest from the door. Rake these coals towards the door before loading. There are two reasons for this raking of the coals. First, it concentrates them near where most of the combustion air enters the firebox and where they can ignite the new load quickly, and second, the charcoal will not be smothered by the new load of wood. If you were to simply spread the charcoal out, the new load will smoulder for a long time before igniting. �w! � . 0�, fi��3 +yam ap Fbmove ash first, and then rake charcoal towards the front of the firebox before loading so that it will ignite the new load. I 20 HE200-Installation and Operation Manual 4.5.4 Firing Each New Load Hot Place the new load of wood on and behind the charcoal, and not too close to the glass. Close the door and open the air control fully. Leave the air control fully open until the firebox is full of flames, the wood has charred to black and its edges are glowing red. Firing each load of wood hot accomplishes a few things: • drives the surface moisture from the wood, • creates a layer of char on the wood, which slows down its release of smoke, • heats the firebox components so they reflect heat back to the fire, and • heats the chimney so it can produce strong, steady draft for the rest of the cycle. Although it is important to fire each new load hot to prepare for a clean burn, do not allow the fire to burn at full intensity for more than a few minutes. DO NOT LEAVE THE FIREPLACE UNATTENDED WHILE A NEW LOAD IS BEING FIRED HOT. DO NOT OVERFIRE. When you burn a new load of wood hot to heat up the wood, the fireplace and the chimney, the result will be a surge of heat from the fireplace. This heat surge is welcome when the room temperature is a little lower than desirable, but not welcome if the space is already warm. Therefore, allow each load of wood to burn down so that the space begins to cool off a little before loading. Letting the space cool before loading is one of the secrets to clean burning and effective zone heating. 4.5.5 Turning Down the Air Supply Once the firewood,firebox and chimney are hot,you can begin to reduce the air supply for a steady burn. As you reduce the air supply to the fire, two important things happen. First, the firing rate slows down to spread the heat energy in the fuel over a longer period of time. Second, the flow rate of exhaust through the fireplace and flue pipe slows down, which gives more time for the transfer of heat from the exhaust. You will notice that as you reduce the air setting, the flames slow down. This is your indication that the fireplace is burning at its peak efficiency. If the flames get small and almost disappear when you turn down the air, you have turned down the air too early, or your firewood is wetter than it should be. With good fuel and correct air control use, the flames should slow down, but should stay large and steady, even as the air supply is reduced. HE200-Installation and Operation Manual 21 i i i / ` I I �w r 4.5.6 Building Different Fires for Different Needs Using the air control is not the only way to match the fireplace's heat output to the heat demand. Your house will need far less heat in October than in January to be kept at a comfortable temperature. If you fill the firebox full in fall weather, you will either overheat the space or turn the fireplace down so much that the fire will be smoky and inefficient. Here are some suggestions for building fires to match different heat demand. 4.5.6.1 Small Firesto Take the Chill Off the House To build a small fire that will produce a low heat output, use small pieces of firewood and load them crisscross in the firebox.The pieces should be only 3 to 4 in diameter. After raking the coals, you can lay two pieces parallel to each other corner to corner in the firebox and lay two more across them in the other direction. Open the air control fully and only reduce the air after the wood is fully flaming.This kind of fire is good for mild weather when you are around to tend the fireplace and should provide enough heat for four hours or more. Small fires like this are a good time to use softer wood species so there will be less chance of overheating the house. 22 HE200-Installation and Operation Manual i 4.5.6.2 Lang Lasting Low Output Fres Sometimes you will want to build a fire to last up to eight hours, but don't need intense heat. In this case use soft wood species and place the logs compactly in the firebox so the pieces are packed tightly together. You will need to fire the load hot for long enough to fully char the log surfaces before you can turn the air down. Make sure the fire is flaming brightly before leaving the fire to burn. 4.5.6.3 High Output Fires for Cold Weather When the heat demand is high during cold weather, you'll need a fire that burns steadily and brightly. This is the time to use larger pieces of hardwood fuel if you have it. Put the biggest pieces at the back of the firebox and place the rest of the pieces compactly. A densely built fire like this will produce the longest burn your fireplace is capable of. You will need to be cautious when building fires like this because if the air is turned down too much, the fire could smoulder. Make sure the wood is flaming brightly before leaving the fire to burn. 4.5.6.4 Maximum Burn Oyde Times The burn cycle time is the period between loading wood on a coal bed and the consumption of that wood back to a coal bed of the same size. The flaming phase of the fire lasts for roughly the first half of the burn cycle and the second half is the coal bed phase during which there is little or no flame. The length of burn you can expect from your fireplace, including both the flaming and coal bed phases, will be affected by a number of things, such as: • firebox size, • the amount of wood loaded, • the species of wood you burn, • the wood moisture content, • the size of the space to be heated, • the climate zone you live in, and • the time of year. The table below provides a very general indication of the maximum burn cycle times you are likely to experience, based on firebox volume. FIREBOX VOLUME MAXIMUM BURN TIME <1.5 cubic feet 3 to 5 hours 1.5 c.f.to 2.0 c.f 5 to 6 hours 2.0 c.f.to 2.5 c.f. 6 to 8 hours 2.5 c.f.to 3.0 c.f. 8 to 9 hours >3.0 c.f. 9 to 10 hours Long burn times are not necessarily an indication of efficient fireplace operation. When you are home during the day and able to tend the fire, it is preferable to build a smaller fire that might provide three or four hours of heating than to fully load the firebox for a much longer burn. Shorter burn cycles make it easier to match the heat output of the fireplace to the heat demand of the space. HE200- Installation and Operation Manual 23 4.5.6.5 How to place the logs In fireboxes that are roughly square,wood can be loaded so that looking through the glass door you see the ends of the logs (north-south) or the sides of the logs (east-west). In all cases, wood should always be placed behind the andirons. East-west loads that are built compactly break down slowly when heated, but the amount of wood you can load is limited because if you put in too many pieces, one may fall against the glass. East-west loads are excellent for long, low output fires for relatively mild weather. North-south loads break down more quickly, but much more wood can be loaded at a time. This makes north-south loading good for high output, long lasting fires for cold weather. 24 HE200-Installation and Operation Manual 5 MAINTAINING YOUR • •D HEATING SYSTEM 5.1 Fireplace Maintenance Your new fireplace will give many years of reliable service if you use and maintain it correctly. Some of the internal components of the firebox, such as firebricks, baffles and air tubes, will wear over time under intense heat. You should always replace defective parts with original parts (see Appendix 7: Exploded Diagram and Parts list). Firing each load hot to begin a cycle as described above will not cause premature deterioration of the fireplace. However, letting the fireplace run with the air control fully open for the entire burn cycles can cause damage over time. The hotter you run the fireplace throughout burn cycles, the more quickly its components will deteriorate. For that reason, never leave the fireplace unattended while a new load is being fired hot. 5.1.1 Plated Finish Maintenance If your appliance has a plated finish, use a metal polish and a soft cloth to clean it. Do not use abrasives such as steel wool, steel pads or an abrasive cleaner for they may scratch the finish. 5.1.2 Glass Door Cleaning Under normal conditions, your door glass should stay relatively clear. If your firewood is dry enough and you follow the operating instructions in this manual, a whitish, dusty deposit will form on the inside of the glass after a week or so of use. This is normal and can be easily removed when the fireplace is cool by wiping with a damp cloth or paper towel and then drying. Never try to clean the glass when the fireplace is hot. In spring and fall when the fireplace is run at lower temperatures, you may see some light brown stains forming, especially at the lower corners of the glass. This indicates that the fire has been smoky and some of the smoke has condensed on the glass. When the weather is mild, you may find that letting the fire go out is better than trying in to maintain a continuous fire. Use the technique described above for building a fire to take the chill off the house. r for wood heater lass If you do get brown stains on the glass you can remove them with special cleaners g doors. Do not use abrasives to clean your fireplace's door glass. The deposits that form on the glass are the best indication of the quality of your fuel and how well you are doing in operating the fireplace.Your goal should be clear glass with no brown stains. If you continue to see brown stains on the glass, something about your fuel and operating procedure needs to be changed. Stains on the glass indicate incomplete combustion of the wood, which also means more smoke emissions and faster formation of creosote in the chimney. you see brown streaks coming from the g If he edge of the lass, it is time to replace the gasket around the glass. n follow the instructions below for If adhesive lass gasket and fireplace retailer to et the se g g Visit your p g installation.

I HE200-Installation and Operation Manual 25 I I 5.1.3 Door Adjustment In order for your fireplace to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox.Therefore,the gasket should be inspected periodically to check for a good seal.The gasket seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment.To adjust: 1. Remove the split pin (A) by pulling it using pliers. Then remove the latch bearing (B) and the pin (C). ! 2. Turn the handle counter clock wise one turn to increase pressure.

You can test the condition of the door gaskets by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper. Test all around the door. If the paper slips out easily anywhere, it is time to replace the gaskets. Use the correct replacement gasket that you can purchase from your retailer (see table below). The diameter and density of the gasket is important to getting a good seal. i f carpet. Remove Place the doors face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or piece o ca pet the old gaskets from the door by pulling and prying it out with a screwdriver. Then use the screwdriver to scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door. Now run a 1/4" (6 mm) bead of high temperature silicone in the door frame gasket groove of the door gasket. Starting from the middle of the door, top or bottom, press the gasket A into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket as you lace it. Leave the gasket about 1/2" Ion when g ( ) g g Y p g g you cut it and press the end into the groove. Tuck any loose fibres under the gasket and into the silicone. Repeat for other door. Make sure when closing doors that the cords overlap each other slightly to ensure a good seal. Close the door and do not use the fireplace for 24 hours until silicone dries. To replace the central door seal (B), use a screwdriver to unscrew the clamping rectangular washers. Remove the old cord. Cut the appropriate length of the cord (B). Tighten one end of the new cord with the rectangular washer then guide the cord on the outer side of the door through the central door support clearance. Guide the cord back to the inner door side and with a slight tension and lock it in place with the second washer. Do not use silicone for this cord. Make sure that the right door press well on the center door gasket to ensure a good seal.

The gasket is flat, adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. ' ' Remove the glass retaining screws (D) and the 4 " metal frames (C) that hold the glass (E) to the door frame (F). Lift out the glass (E) and pull off F the old gasket. Do the same for the other door. This is a good time to clean the glass Ce thoroughly. ` c F The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up. Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of the glass down onto the gasket, taking care that it is perfectly centred on the gasket. Peel off more of the backing and rotate the glass and press the next section onto the gasket. Do not stretch the gasket as you place it. Continue until you cover the three sides and trim the gasket to length. Now pinch the gasket to the glass in a U shape, all around the glass. Reinstall the glass, being careful to centre the glass carefully in the door. Do not over-tighten the screws. Note that the two main causes of broken door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-tightening of retaining screws. Location Length Dimensions Around each glass 35" (89 cm) "U" shaped 30 HE200-Installation and Operation Manual i i 1 Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the fireplace if the glass is broken. To change the glass, perform the same operation described above. Both arched glasses used in the HE200 are 5 mm thick of dimension: 10 11/16" width, 12 7/8" minimum height, 13 3/4" maximum height and tested to reach temperatures up to 14002 F. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with one having the same specification. Contact your VENTIS dealer to obtain a genuine replacement part (see "replacement parts", in appendix to get the proper part number). WARNING: TEMPERED GLASS OR ORDINARY GLASS WILL NOT WITHSTAND THE HIGH TEMPERATURES OF THE HE200. 5.1.7 Cleaning and Painting the Fireplace Do not attempt to clean or paint the fireplace when the unit is hot. Painted surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Plated surfaces may be scratched by abrasive cleaners. To maintain the finish at its original brilliance, use only a damp soft cloth to clean plated surfaces. If the paint becomes scratched or damaged, you can give your wood fireplace a brand new look by repainting it with heat-resistant paint. Before painting, roughen the surface with fine sand paper, wipe it down to remove dust, and apply two thin coats of paint. For best results, use the same paint that was originally used on the fireplace, which is available in spray cans. See your dealer for details. 5.2 Chimney and Chimney Liner Maintenance 5.2.1 Why Chimney Cleaning is Necessary Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney liner and chimney, forming a combustible deposit called creosote. If creosote is allowed to build up in the venting system it can ignite when a hot fire is burned in the fireplace and a very hot fire can progress to the top of the chimney. Severe chimney fires can damage even the best chimneys. Smouldering, smoky fires can quickly cause a thick layer of creosote to form. When you avoid smouldering so the exhaust from the chimney is mostly clear, creosote builds up more slowly. Your new fireplace has the right characteristics to help you to burn clean fires with little or no smoke, resulting in less creosote in the chimney. 5.2.2 How Often Should You Clean the Chimney? It is not possible to predict how much or how quickly creosote will form in your chimney. It is important, therefore, to check the build-up in your chimney monthly when getting used to the new fireplace until you determine the rate of creosote formation. Even if creosote forms slowly in your system, the chimney should be cleaned and inspected at least once each year. Do not allow more than 1/8" (3 mm) creosote buildup in the chimney. It is recommended to clean thoroughly the chimney system at the end of every heating season. During summer, the air is damper and with minimal air circulation within the stove or furnace, it can mix with creosote and/or sooth deposits in the chimney system to form an acid that could accelerate the corrosion process and induce premature decay of the steel. Corrosion damages are not covered under warranty. Have your chimney system cleaned by a professional chimney sweep. Use a plastic or steel brush. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire authority for information on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire. HE200- Installation and Operation Manual 31 i 5.2.3 Cleaning the Chimney Chimney cleaning can be a difficult and dangerous job. If you don't have experience cleaning chimneys, you might want to hire a professional chimney sweep to clean and inspect the system for the first time. After having seen the cleaning process, you can decide if it is a job you would like to take on. The most common equipment used are fibreglass rods with threaded fittings and y stiff plastic brushes. The brush is forced up and down inside the chimney flue to scrub �. off the creosote. The chimney should be checked regularly for creosote build-up. Inspection and cleaning of the chimney can be facilitated by removing the baffle. 1 Do not expect chemical cleaners to keep your chimney clean. The rain cap can be removed for inspection and/or cleaning of the chimney. The chimney should be swept following these steps: 1) Remove the fire baffle and air tubes. 2) Remove the rain cap. 3) Sweep the chimney. 4) Clean the inside of the firebox. 5) Re-install the baffle, the air tubes and the rain cap. CAUTION: OPERATION OF YOUR HE20 0 WITHOUT THE BAFFLE MAY CAUSE UNSAFE AND HAZARDOUS TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. 32 HE200-Installation and Operation Manual i i 5.2.4 Fire Baffle Removal Prior to Cleaning the Chimney Before starting to clean your chimney, we recommend that you remove the fire baffle to avoid creosote dust collection on top of the baffle. Follow the steps below to remove the fire baffle: 1. Remove the front air tube by pulling out the cutter pin on the side of the tube. They are located at the top, underneath the baffle. 2. Lift the baffle assembly and slide it out of the fireplace.You now have access to the chimney. See Appendix 6: Installation of%oondary Air Tubes and Baffle for details. 5.2.5 Chimney Fire Regular chimney maintenance and inspection can prevent chimney fires. If you have a chimney fire, follow these steps: 1. Close the fireplace door and the air intake controls; 2. Alert your family of the possible danger; 3. If you require assistance, alert your fire department; 4. If possible, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the fire. Do not use water as it may cause a dangerous steam explosion; 5. Check outside to ensure that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting the roof; 6. Do not use the fireplace again until your chimney and fireplace have been inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or a Fire Department Inspector; 33 HE200-Installation and Operation Manual I PART B - INSTALLATION Install the fireplace only as described in these instructions and using only components from the chimney manufacturers listed in table 2.
