This stove transforms a traditional masonry fireplace into a powerful heater.You can count on years of comfortable heat- ing and pleasurable fire-viewing if you operate and maintain it according to the directions in this Owner's Guide. This Insert has been tested and listed by OMNI-Test Laboratories of Portland, Oregon to UL1482-1996(R2006)for the United States and ULC S628-93 for Canada. This Insert is listed to, and in compliance with, the standards set forth by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency,40 CFR Part 60.532(b), as stated on the permanent label attached to the stove. This manual describes the installation and operation of this Insert.This heater meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's emission limits for wood heaters sold after May 15, 2015. Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at a rate ranging from 10,100 to 27,550 BTU/hr. For more complete details on stove performance and specifications, please refer to Page 3. The Montpelier Medium Insert is designed, tested and listed for burning wood. Do not burn other fuels. Installation or service of the Montpelier Medium Insert should be performed only by a qualified installer, preferably NFI or WETT(Canada) certified.

Smoke • CO Detectors The use of smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors throughout the home is strongly advised, even if not re- quired by building codes or insurance regulations. It is a good idea to install a smoke detector in the living ar- eas and each bedroom. Follow the smoke/CO detector manufacture's placement and installation instructions and maintain regularly. You may not, however, wish to install a detector in the immediate vicinity of the Montpelier insert. Depending on the sensitivity of the unit, the alarm can be set off while you are tending the fire or emptying the ashes. If you in- stall a detector in the same room, locate it as far away from the insert as possible. 30004403 9 Montpelier Medium Insert Operation Your Insert's Controls and What They Do The Montpelier Medium Insert's air supply is increased when the control lever is moved to the left, and decreased All Montpelier Medium Insert controls are conveniently when moved to the right.

(Refer to Figure 10 for fan access) This wood heater has a manufactured-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual. 10 30004403 Montpelier Medium Insert Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the Montpelier Medium Insert,and could even damage internal components. On the other hand,too little draft can cause backpuffing into the room or a very sluggish fire. How do you know if your draft is excessively high or low? Symptoms of too much draft include an uncontrollable burn or glowing-red cast iron.A sign of inadequate draft is smoke leaking into the room through the stove or chimney connector joints, low heat, and dirty glass. In some newer homes that are well-insulated and weather- tight, poor draft may result from insufficient air in the house. In such instances, an open window near the stove ® � on the windward side of the house will provide the fresh air needed.

Special • Cold-Climate Heating The Montpelier Medium Insert is capable of producing up to 40,000 Btu/hour and heating an area of up to 1,500 sq. ft. However, many factors affect heating performance and can influence the extent to which the Montpelier Medium Insert can heat a given area. A well-insulated home, located in a moderate climate and with the Montpelier Medium Insert located centrally in an open floor plan,will be easier to heat than a drafty home in the far north in which a Montpelier Medium Insert is installed on an exterior wall at the end of a long house. In Fireplace Insert installations, over-sized chimneys can produce less effective results than those that are properly sized, and interior chimneys usually perform better than those located outside the house. Different results may be experienced even in the same installation if you switch from burning good, dry wood to wood that is partially rotted or inadequately seasoned. To compensate for these factors in cold climates, it may be necessary to operate the Montpelier Medium Insert for longer periods of time with the air control set to a higher level more of the time. 30004403 13 Montpelier Medium Insert Maintenance Keep Your Montpelier Medium Insert Adjust - Door Latch Periodically Looking • Working Its Best The front door of the Montpelier Medium Insert should close Care of •n Surface securely to prevent accidental opening and should close tightly to prevent air from leaking into the fire chamber.
