Electrical Inspector 5. Plumbing Inspector 6. Other Contact Person: Phone Information and Instructions Massachusetts General Laws chapter 152 requires all employers to provide workers' compensation for their employees. Pursuant to this statute, an employee is defined as "...every person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written." An employer is defined as "an individual, partnership, association, corporation or other legal entity, or any two or more of the foregoing engaged in a joint enterprise, and including the legal representatives of a deceased employer, or the receiver or trustee of an individual, partnership, association or other legal entity, employing employees. However the owner of a dwelling house having not more than three apartments and who resides therein, or the occupant of the dwelling house of another who employs persons to do maintenance, construction or repair work on such dwelling house or on the grounds or building appurtenant thereto shall not because of such employment be deemed to be an employer." MGL chapter 152, §25C(6) also states that "every state or local licensing agency shall withhold the issuance or renewal of a license or permit to operate a business or to construct buildings in the commonwealth for any applicant who has not produced acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance coverage required." Additionally, MGL chapter 152, §25C(7) states "Neither the commonwealth nor any of its political subdivisions shall enter into any contract for the performance of public work until acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance requirements of this chapter have been presented to the contracting authority." Applicants Please fill out -the workers' compensation affidavit completely, by checking the boxes that apply to your situation and, if necessary, supply sub-contractor(s) name(s), address(es) and phone number(s) along with their certificate(s) of insurance. Limited Liability Companies (LLC) or Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP) with no employees other than the members or partners, are not required to carry workers' compensation insurance. If an LLC or LLP does have employees, a policy is required. Be advised that this affidavit may be submitted to the Department of Industrial Accidents for confirmation of insurance coverage. Also be sure to sign and date the affidavit. The affidavit should be returned to the city or town that the application for the permit or license is being requested, not the Department of Industrial Accidents. Should you have any questions regarding the law or if you are required to obtain a workers' compensation policy, please call the Department at the number listed below. Self-insured companies should enter their self-insurance license number on the appropriate line. City or Town Officials 4 Please be sure that the affidavit is complete and printed legibly. The Department has provided a space at the bottom of the affidavit fdr you to fill out in the event the Office of Investigations has to contact you regarding the applicant. Please be sure to fill in the permit/license number which will be used as a reference number. In addition, an applicant that must submit multiple permit/license applications in any given year, need only submit one affidavit indicating current policy information (if necessary) and under "Job Site Address" the applicant should write "all locations in (city or town)." A copy of the affidavit that has been officially stamped or marked by the city or town may be provided to the applicant as proof that a valid affidavit is on file for future permits or licenses. A new affidavit must be filled out each year. Where a home owner or citizen is obtaining a license or permit not related to any business or commercial venture (i.e. a dog license or permit to burn leaves etc.) said person is NOT required to complete this affidavit. The Office of Investigations would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call.

Page 8 Heat & Glo • NorthStar EPA Fireplace • 480-1081 H 4/12 B. General Information Fireplaces, as well as other woodburning appliances, have been used safely for many years. It has been our experience that most problems are caused by improper installation and operation of the fireplace. Make certain that installation and operation of the fireplace system is in accordance with these instructions. It is extremely important that the fire be supervised when- ever the fireplace is in use. It is also recommended that an annual inspection be performed on the fireplace system to determine if the flue system needs to be cleaned, or as in the case of any appliance, if minor repairs are required to maintain the system in top operating condition. WARNING! Risk of Fire! Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids clear of the fireplace. DO NOT.- store OTstore flammable materials close to the fireplace • use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this fireplace. C. Baffle and Blanket Placement Ensure correct baffle placement and replace baffle compo- nents if damaged or missing. Firebox damage due to improper baffle placement is not covered by warranty. Operate the wood burning appliance with the baffle in the correct position only. Not doing so could result in: • Reduced efficiency • Overheating the chimney • Overheating the rear of the firebox • Poor performance CORRECT POSITION Ceramic Blanket and Baffle Board MUST be in contact with the back of the firebox and even with each other in the front. Baffle Protection Channel MUST be in position. INCORRECT POSITIONS Ceramic Blanket and Baffle Board are NOT in contact with the back of the firebox. Ceramic Blanket is NOT in contact with the back of the firebox and NOT even with the Baffle Board in the front. bacK OT t - Ceramic Blanket 71 Baffle Board Ceramic Blanket is bunched up at the back of the firebox and NOT even with the Baffle Board in the front. D. Firebrick Placement The firebox of your fireplace is lined with high quality firebrick, which has exceptional insulating properties. Do Not use a grate; simply build a fire on the firebox floor. Do not operate the fireplace without bricks. Make sure bricks are installed as shown in Section 4, page 24. 4/12 Heat & Glo • NorthStar EPA Fireplace • 480-1081 H Page 9 E. Wood Fuel Hardwood vs. Softwood Your fireplace's performance depends a great deal on the quality of the firewood you use. Contrary to popular belief, one species of wood varies very little to the other in terms of energy content. All seasoned wood, regardless of species, contains about 8,000 BTU's per pound. The important factor is that hardwoods have a greater density than softwoods. Therefore, a piece of hardwood will contain about 60% more BTU's than an equal size piece of softwood. Since firewood is commonly sold by the cord (128 cu. ft) a volume measure- ment, a cord of seasoned oak (hardwood) would contain about 60% more potential energy than a cord of seasoned pine (softwood). There are many definitions of hardwood and softwood. Although not true in every case, one of the most reliable is to classify them as coniferous or deciduous. Softwoods are considered coniferous. These are trees with needle-like leaves that stay green all year and carry their seeds exposed in a cone. Examples of softwood trees are Douglas fir, pine, spruce and cedar. Softwoods, being more porous, require less time to dry, burn faster and are easier to ignite than hardwoods. Deciduous trees are broadleaf trees that lose their leaves in the fall. Their seeds are usually found within a protective pod or enclosure. Hardwoods fall into this category. Some examples of deciduous trees are oak, maple, apple, and birch. However, it should be noted that there are some deciduous trees that are definitely not considered hardwoods such as poplar, aspen and alder. Hardwoods require more time to season, burn slower and are usually harder to ignite than softwoods. Obviously, you will use the type of wood that is most readily available in your area. However, if at all pos- sible the best arrangement is to have a mix of softwood and hardwood. This way you can use the softwood for starting the fire giving off quick heat to bring the appliance up to operat- ing temperature. Then add the hardwood for slow, even heat and longer burn time. Soft woods Hard woods • Douglas Fir • Oak • Pine • Maple • Spruce • Apple • Cedar • Birch • Poplar • Aspen • Alder Moisture content Regardless of which species of wood you burn, the single most important factor that affects the way your fireplace operates is the amount of moisture in the wood. The majority of the problems fireplace owners experience are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood. Freshly cut wood can be as much water as it is wood, having a moisture content of around 50%. Imagine a wooden bucket that weighs about 8 pounds. Fill it with a gallon of water, put it in the firebox and try to burn it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly what you are doing if you burn unseasoned wood. Dead wood lying on the forest floor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing dead wood can be considered to be about two-thirds seasoned, if cut at the dry time of the year. The problems with burning wet, unseasoned wood are two fold. First, you will receive less heat output from wet wood because it requires energy in the form of heat to evaporate the water trapped inside. This is wasted energy that should be used for heating your home. Secondly, this moisture evapo- rates in the form of steam which has a cooling effect in your firebox and chimney system. When combined with tar and other organic vapors from burning wood it will form creosote which condenses in the relatively cool firebox and chimney. See the maintenance section of this manual for more infor- mation regarding creosote formation and need for removal. Even dry wood contains at least 15% moisture by weight, and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney hot for as long as it takes to dry the wood out - about one hour. To tell if wood is dry enough to burn, check the ends of the logs. If there are cracks radiating in all directions from the center, it is dry. If your wood sizzles in the fire, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully cured. Seasoning Seasoned firewood is nothing more than wood that is cut to size, split and air dried to a moisture content of around 20%. The time it takes to season wood varies from around nine months for soft woods to as long as eighteen months for hardwoods. The key to seasoning wood is to be sure it has been split, exposing the wet interior and increasing the surface area of each piece. A tree that was cut down a year ago and not split is likely to have almost as high a moisture content now as it did when it was cut. WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT burn wet or green wood. Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of creosote. Page 10 Heat & Glo • NorthStar EPA Fireplace • 480-1081 H 4/12 Seasoned Wood • Cut logs to size • Split to 6 in. (152 mm) or less • Air dry to a moisture content of around 20% - Soft wood - about nine months - Hard wood - about eighteen months NOTICE: Seasoning time may vary depending on drying conditions. Storina Wood Splitting wood before it is stored reduces drying time. The following guideline will ensure properly seasoned wood: • Stack the wood to allow air to circulate freely around and through the woodpile. • Elevate the woodpile off the ground to allow air circula- tion underneath. • The smaller the pieces, the faster the drying process. Any piece over 6 in. (152 mm in diameter should be split. • Wood should be stacked so that both ends of each piece are exposed to air, since more drying occurs through the cut ends than the sides. This is true even with wood that has been split. • Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or covered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets of scrap plywood, etc., as uncovered wood can absorb water from rain or snow, delaying the seasoning process. Avoid covering the sides and ends completely. Doing so may trap mois- ture from the ground and impede air circulation. WARNING! Fire Risk! DO NOT store wood: • In front of the fireplace. • In space required for loading or ash removal. F. Outside Air A source of air (oxygen) is required in order for combustion to take place. Whatever air is consumed by the fire must be replaced through cracks around windows, under doors, etc. Most newly constructed houses or existing homes fitted with tightly sealed doors and windows are relatively air tight. In this case, an outside air source must be made available to feed combustion air from outside the home. The NorthStar Fireplace comes equipped with an outside air intake to feed combustion air from outside the home, along with an outside air termination cap. The 6 in. (152 mm) solid/ flex pipe is not supplied. Outside air is required to minimize the effects of negative pressure within the structure. It is recommended to utilize the shortest duct run to optimize the performance of the Out- side Air flex tubing. The outside air inlet thimble should be positioned above the ground level, and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. If you live in an area that experiences deep snow levels, this must be taken into con- sideration when determining the height placement above ground level. It must be unrestricted while unit is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a fire. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms. This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila- tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace system. Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechani- cal exhausting devices which create a negative air pressure within the structure where the fireplace is located. An outside air control handle allows you control of the out- side air inlet. This may be closed only when the fireplace is not in use to prevent cold air infiltration. Use of outside air for combustion is required to conserve heated air within the structure and to provide make up air to keep the fireplace venting properly. See Figure 2.4 on page 12 for location and operation. Caution! Outside air control handle may be warm. Adjust before lighting fire. 4/12 Heat & Glo • NorthStar EPA Fireplace • 480-1081 H Page 11 OPEN(! )CLOSE 2.4 General G.

Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home to ensure your safety. They should be located away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer's placement and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly. 2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires resulting from burning embers. 3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape routes. 4. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows 2. What To Do if Your Stove is Over -Firing • Immediately close the door and air controls to reduce air supply to the fire. • If you suspect a chimney fire, call the fire department and evacuate your house. • Contact your local chimney professional and have your stove and stove pipe inspected for any damage. • Do not use your stove until the chimney professional informs you it is safe to do so. Hearth & Home Technologies WILL NOT warranty stoves that exhibit evidence of over -firing. Evidence of over -firing includes, but is not limited to: In the event of a chimney fire: • Warped air tube • Deteriorated refractory brick retainers a. Notify fire department Deteriorated baffle and other interior components b. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation. c. Close all openings into the stove. d. While awaiting fire department, watch for ignition of adjacent combustibles from overheated stove L. Chimney Fire pipe, hot embers or sparks from the chimney. In the event of a chimney fire: K. Over -Firing Your Appliance WARNING Fire Risk! Do not over -fire Over -firing may ignite creosote or will damage the stove and chimney. To prevent over -firing your stove. DO NOT. • Use flammable liquids • Overload with wood • Burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber • Permit too much air to the fire. 1. Symptoms of Over -Firing • Symptoms of over -firing may include one or more of the following: • Chimney connector or appliance glowing • Roaring, rumbling noises • Loud cracking or banging sounds • Metal warping • Chimney fire • Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected by qualified professionals. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that NFI or CSIA certified professionals, or technicians under the direction of certified professionals, conduct a minimum of an NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection of the chimney. • Replace components of the chimney and fireplace as specified by the professionals. • Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the chimney is properly secured. A chimney fire can permanently damage your chimney sys- tem. Failure to replace damaged components and make proper repairs creates risk of fire. 4/12 Heat & Glo • NorthStar EPA Fireplace • 480-1081 H Page 13 M. Starting a Fire Before lighting your first fire in the fireplace, make certain that the baffle and the ceramic blanket are correctly posi- tioned. It should be resting against the rear support. Also refer to care and cleaning of plated surfaces on Section 5 before lighting your first fire. Notice- The first three orfourfires should be of moderate size to allow the oils and binders to be burned from the fireplace and the refractory and paint to cure. You may notice an industrial odor the first few fires. This is considered normal. NOTICE: REMOVEALL LABELS FROM GLASS BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRST FIRE IN YOUR APPLIANCE. There are many ways to build a fire. The basic principle is to light easily -ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow -burning firewood. Here is one method that works well: 1. Open Outside Air by turning the knob counter clock- wise. 2. Fully open the Combustion Air Control Handle by moving it completely to the right. 3. Place serveral wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor. Heating the flue with slightly crumpled newspa- per before adding kindling keeps smoke to a mini- mum. 4. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper. 5. Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in the immediate area of the fireplace. Be sure the room is adequately ventilated and the flue unob- structed. 6. Light the paper in the fireplace. NEVER light or rekindle fireplace with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter fluid; the results can be fatal. 7. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-length logs 3 in. (76mm) or 4 in. (102mm) in di- ameter. Be careful not to smother the fire. Stack the pieces of wood carefully; near enough to keep each other hot, but far enough away from each other to allow adequate air flow between them. 8. Adjust the Combustion Air Control; the more you close down the control, (sliding left) the lower and slower the fire will burn. The more you open the Air Control, (sliding right) the more heat will be produced and the faster the wood will burn. As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 7 and 8 will maintain a continuous fire throughout the season. NOTICE. The special high temperature paint that your fireplace is finished with will cure as your fireplace heats. You will notice an odor and perhaps see some vapor rise from the fireplace surface; this is normal. We recommend that you open a window until the odor dissipates and paint is cured. NOTICE: Fireplace should be run full open for a minimum of 30 minutes a day during heating season to keep air pas- sages clean. WARNING! Risk of Fire! Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids clear of the fireplace. DO NOP • store flammable materials close to the fireplace • use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this fireplace. Keep all flammable liquids well away from the fireplace while it is in use. Combustible materials may ignite. WARNING! For use with solid wood fuel only. Other fuels may overfire and generate poisonous gases (i.e. carbon monoxide). N. Burning Process Fire requires 3 things to burn: fuel, air and heat. If heat is robbed from the fireplace during the drying stage, the new load of wood has reduced the chances for a good clean burn. For this reason, it is always best to burn dry, seasoned fire- wood. We do not advise burning unseasoned wood, however if it happens, you must open the Combustion Air Control and burn the fireplace at a high burn setting for a longer time to start it burning. Kindling or 1st stage: The first stage of burning is called the kindling stage. In this stage, the wood is heated to a temperature highenough to evaporate the moisture which is present in all wood. The wood will reach the boiling point of water (212°F) and will not get any hotter until the water is evaporated. This process takes heat from coals and tends to cool the fireplace. 2nd stage: The next stage of burning, the secondary stage, is the period when the wood gives off flammable gases which burn above the fuel with bright flames. During this stage of burning it is very important that the flames be maintained and not allowed to go out. This will ensure the cleanest possible fire. If you are adjusting your fireplace for a low burn rate, you should close down the air to the point where you can still maintain some flame. If the flames tend to go out, the fireplace is set too low for your burning conditions. Page 14 Heat & Glo • NorthStar EPA Fireplace • 480-1081 H 4/12 Final stage: The final stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs when the flammable gases have been mostly burned and only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of the burn. The coals burn with hot blue flames. It is very important to reload your fireplace while enough lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood. It is best to open the air control for a short while before reloading. This livens up the coalbed. Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit fireplace through opening. You should also break up any large chunks and distribute the coals so that the new wood is laid evenly on hot coals. Fireplace operation does require air. Do not take air from other fuel burning appliances which can result in improper venting (smoking) or air dilution. Always provide adequate makeup air. O. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) IMPORTANT! As you move the Combustion Air Control to the RIGHT, you will feel resistance about three-fourths of the way. You must move past that resistance approxi- mately 3/4 in. (19mm) to fully engage the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) sytstem. With theAutomatic Combustion Control system that is on this fireplace, you can set the fireplace to high (slide the Combus- tion Air Control all the way to the right), start the fire, and then move the Combustion Air Control to the desired burn level. The fireplace will automatically go to that level once the fire is fully established. This allows for less interaction with the fire by the homeowner and more efficient use of fuel while maintaining the desired heat output. NOTICE: If reloading a bright, hot coal bed for longer (low) bum time, setting the ACC may not be required. Burn Dry, well seasoned wood. NOTICE: To establish your settings, always begin with the air control all the way to the left to STOP and then move it to the right for your desired setting. After the fireplace has been in operation for a period of time, and is warmed up; you may prefer to not activate the ACC when reloading fuel. if you do not slide the Combustion Air Control all the way to the right, theACC will not be activated. Notice: ACC OVERRIDE The lever located to the left of the Combustion Air Control is the ACC OVERRIDE and may be used to override the setting of the Combustion Air Control. If the ACC has been activated and burn rate needs to be slowed, move the lever to the LEFT and position Combustion Air Control at the preferred setting. To close the air supply for an over fire situatution or to slow the burn rate down immediately, slide the lever to the LEFT and also slide the Combustion Air Control all the way to the left. *Slide Air Control Slide LEFT to Stop Stop to 1/8 in. -1/2 in. open Stop to 1/2 in. - 1-1/2 in. open All the way to RIGHT THE DECORATIVE FASCIA MUST BE REMOVABLE ON YOUR FIREPLACE /N ORDER TO SERVICE THEAUTO- MATIC COMBUSTION CONTROL SYSTEM. 4/12 Heat & Glo • NorthStar EPA Fireplace • 480-1081 H Page 15 P. Manual Timer Override If timer is unintentionally engaged, push the Timer Over- ride Lever to the left. This will disengage the timer and set the Fireplace back to the low setting. Figure 2.6 Right -Open -I Figure 2.6 Manual Override Q. Burning Guidelines For maximum operating efficiency with the lowest emissions, follow these operating procedures: 1. Regardless of desired heat output, when loading the fireplace, burn your fireplace with the Combustion Air Control wide open (fully to the right) for a minimum of 5 to 15 minutes. 2. Regulate burn rate (heat output) by using the Com- bustion Air Control. See Figure 2.5 on page 15. 3. Heat output settings: Follow the burn rate instructions listed below. Burn Rate BTU / Hr *Combustion Air Control Low Below 10,000 Slide LEFT to Stop Medium 10,000 - 15,000 Stop to 1/8 in. -1/2 in. open Medium High 15,000 - 30,000 Stop to 1/2 in. - 1-1/2 in. open High Maximum Heat All the way to RIGHT *These are approximate settings, and will vary with type of wood or chimney draft. R. Burn Rates HIGH - Maximum Heat: Fully open (Combustin Air Control all the way to the right). It is important to do this when reload- ing the fireplace. Failure to do this could result in excessive emissions (smoke). MEDIUM HIGH BURN RATE -15,000 to 30,000 BTU: After a wood load has been burning on high for 5 to 15 minutes, close the Combustion Air Control to 1/2 in. - 1-1/2 in. (13 mm -38 mm) distance open. (Move the handle to left to stop and then to right for the proper setting). MEDIUM -10,000 -15,000 BTU: After a wood load has been burning on high for 5 to 15 minutes (longer for very large pieces or wet wood), Combustion Air Control left to 1/8 in. -1/2 in. (3 mm -13 mm) distance open. (Move the handle to left to stop and then to right for the proper setting). LOW - Below 10,000 BTU: After a wood load has been burn- ing on high for 5 to 15 minutes (longer for very large pieces or wet wood), gradually slide the Combustion Air Control left to close down the air, making sure to maintain flames in the fireplace. It is very important to maintain flames in your fireplace during the first few hours of a low burn to avoid excessive air pollution. S. Opacity This is the measure of how cleanly your fireplace is burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when an ob- ject is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen. As you become familiar with your fireplace, you should peri- odically check the opacity. This will allow you to know how to burn your fireplace as nearly smoke-free as possible (goal of 0% opacity). Page 16 Heat & Glo • NorthStar EPA Fireplace • 480-1081 H 4/12 3 Troubleshooting This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila- tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace system. Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechan- ical exhausting devices which will create a negative air pres- sure within the structure where the fireplace is located. A. Understanding Vent Problems If smoke spillage occurs from a fireplace opening when the door is open and the proper chimney height, flue size, and configuration requirements for the installation have been met, there is either a leakage in the flue, a blockage in the flue, or some condition is in effect to draw smoke from the fireplace into the house. Understanding and differentiating the conditions which can cause each of these kinds of spill- age problems is essential to their solution. • Flue Leakage Check for improperly connected flue joints or a damaged flue joint in the chimney system. Such leakage would reduce draft (air would be drawn in through the leaks rather than through the fireplace). The result might be difficult start-up and smoky fires that might spill if other adverse draft conditions accompany this problem. • Flue Blockage B. Draft Problems This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila- tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace system. Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, windy con- ditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechanical exhausting devices which will create a negative air pressure within the structure where the fireplace is located. Flue draft is measured as negative pressure in the chimney. The amount of negative pressure determines how strong the draft is. The draft is important because it draws the com- bustion air into the fireplace and pulls the smoke out of the chimney. There are three basic criteria essential in establishing and maintaining flue draft: • Availability of combustion air. • Heat generated from the fire. • Diameter and height of the flue system. These three factors work together as a system to create the flue draft. Increasing or decreasing any one of them will affect the, other two and thus change the amount of draft in the entire system. t e ire is hard to start and smoke spills out of the fireplace, or you find it difficult to establish and maintain a moderately high burn rate, then the flue draft is too low and corrective measures must be taken. Be sure you have air available for combustion and that your firewood is dry and well seasoned. Build your fires properly and according to the instructions given in operating instruc- tions, "Starting a Fire". Be sure your flue system is installed correctly and that it is the proper diameter and height. Check for the following: • All chimney sections are properly installed. • The chimney is clean and free of creosote or soot buildup. • Make sure overhanging trees and branches are cut back within ten feet of the top of the chimney and is free of debris from animals. • Ensure the chimney cap is clean and free of any buildup of soot or creosote. if cap is equipped with a spark arrestor screen. • Be sure the ceramic blanket (above the baffle) and the baffle are in their proper positions • The wood being used in dry and well seasoned. If you still suspect you have a low draft problem it may be necessary to increase the volume of air in your flue system. Since the diameter of your flue system is matched with the size of the flue collar and should not be changed, then the height of the system must be increased. Add chimney sections a little at a time until the draft improves. In some cases, regardless of what you do, it can still be dif- ficult to establish the proper flue draft. This is especially evi- dent when using an exterior factory -built chimney or exterior masonry chimney. Try placing several sheets of crumpled paper on top of your kindling as close to the flue outlet of the fireplace as possible. Light this paper first then the paper under the kindling. The heat generated from the rapidly burning paper on top of the kindling should help get the draft established. Still other factors can affect how well your flue system per- forms. Neighboring structures, high winds, tall trees, even hillsides can affect air currents around the chimney. Well designed chimney caps are available that can help. Your fire- place dealer is the local expert in your area. He can usually make suggestions or discover problems that can be easily corrected allowing your fireplace to operate correctly as it has been designed, providing safe and economical heat for your home. 4/12 Heat & Glo • NorthStar EPA Fireplace • 480-1081 H Page 17 n d chimney terc��ra�\o�.

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. 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. 4. Care and Cleaning of Plated Surfaces Clean -plated surfaces with vinegar or a glass cleaner before lighting your first fire to prevent permanent staining. CAUTION • Do not use polishes with abrasives. It will scratch plated surfaces. CAUTION Clean all the fingerprints and oils from the surface before firing the appliance for the first time. • Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and towel to remove the oils. WARNING! Fire Risk! Do not use chimney cleaners or flame . Oils can cause permanent markings on plating, if not colorants in your appliance. Will corrode pipe. removed. WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashes could contain hot embers. WARNING! Fire Risk! Disposal of Ashes Ashes should be placed in metal container with tight fitting lid. Do not place metal container on combustible surface. Ashes should be retained in closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. 3. Glass Cleaning Frequency: As necessary By: Homeowner Task: See the following instructions. Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack. If the deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal glass cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be removed by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by using a commercially available oven cleaner. After using an oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any residue with a glass cleaner or soap and water. Oven cleaner left on during the next firing can permanently stain the glass and damage the finish on plated metal surfaces. A portion of the combustion air entering the firebox is deflected down over the inside of the door glass. This air flow "washes" the glass, helping to keep smoke from adher- ing to its surface. When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be flowing over the glass and the smoky, relatively cool condition of a low fire will cause the glass to become coated. Operating the appliance with the Burn Rate Air Control and Start -Up Air Control all the way open for 15-20 minutes should remove the built up coating. • After plating is cured, oils will not affect the finish. 5. Door and Door Gasket Periodically check the door gasket for proper seal. As the gasket compresses or "seats" during use, it may become necessary to adjust or tighten the door latch. To Adjust or Tighten Door Latch Remove spacing washers shown in Figure 4.2 At least one spacing washer and the black washer must be left in place. OR Replace the gasket material. Wear or damage to the gasket material can cause air leakage into the firebox resulting in overfiring and loss of efficiency. A replacement gasket is available from your dealer.

Design and Installation Considerations NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation. • Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations. • Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and permits. Before installing, determine the following: • Where the fireplace is to be installed • The vent system configuration to be used • Gas supply piping • Electrical wiring • Framing and finishing details • Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall switch or remote control—are desired NOTICE: Junction box should be installed during initial setup to avoid major reconstruction. C. Draft Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fireplaces successfully. When a fireplace is drafting successfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the chimney. Considerations for successful draft include: • Preventing negative pressure • Location of fireplace and chimney NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the fireplace system caused by: • Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions • Downdrafts • Tight sealing construction of the structure • Mechanical exhausting devices • Improper location of the chimney D. Negative Pressure WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Fire must draft properly for safe operation. Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail- able for the fireplace to operate properly. It can be stron- gest in lower levels of the house. Causes include: • Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.) • Range hoods • Combustion air requirements forfurnaces, water heaters and other combustion appliances • Clothes dryers • Location of return -air vents to furnace or air conditioning • Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system • Upper level air leaks such as: - Recessed lighting - Attic hatch - Duct leaks To minimize the effects of negative air pressure: • Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing winds during the heating season • Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances and exhaust equipment • Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not located in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace • Avoid installing the fireplace near doors, walkways or small isolated spaces • Recessed lighting should be a "sealed can" design • Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed • Attic mounted duct work and air handlerjoints and seams taped or sealed • Basement installations should be avoided NOTICE. Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends the use of direct vent fireplaces in basements. Page 32 Heat & Glo • NorthStar EPA Fireplace • 480-1081 H 4/12 E. Locating Fireplace & Chimney Location of the fireplace and chimney will affect perfor- mance. • Install within the warm airspace enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die -down of the fire. • Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the effects of wind loading. • Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions. • Minimize the use of chimney offsets. • Consider the fireplace location relative to floor and ceiling and attic joists. • Take into consideration the termination requirements in Section 8 and Section 9. NOTICE: Locating the fireplace in a basement or in a location of considerable air movement can cause intermittent smoke spillage from fireplace. Do not locate fireplace near • frequently open doors • central heat outlets or returns Recommended Location: Recommended Location: Above peak ' l�> Above peak Inside heated space �✓ Marginal Marginal Location: Wind loading possible • Below peak Location NOT recommended: Not the highest point of the roof Wind loading possible M Windward 5.2 Recommended Insulated exterior chase in cooler climates 0 0 6 9 Multi-level Roofs Locations Location NOT recommended: • Too dose to tree Below adjacent structure • Lower roof line • Avoid outside wall Leeward 4/12 Heat & Glo • NorthStar EPA Fireplace • 480-1081 H Page 33 F.

Selecting Fireplace Locations Several options are available to you when choosing a loca- tion for your fireplace. This fireplace may be used as a room divider, installed along a wall, across a corner or used in an exterior chase. See Figure 6.1 Locating the fireplace in a basement, near frequently opened doors, central heat outlets or returns, or other locations of considerable air movement can affect the performance and cause intermittent smoke spillage from the front of the fire- place when no outside air is used. Outside air must be used for combustion. The NorthStar comes equipped with an out- side air inlet to feed combustion air from outside the home, along with an outside air termination cap. Consideration should be given to these factors before deciding on a loca- tion. See Sections 4 and 5.

(152 mm) hole in outside wall to accommodate air piping. See Figure 7.3 on page 40. gloves and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal edges are sharp. 2. Use 6 in. (152 mm) metal flex or rigid piping (not supplied) to directly connect outside air to fireplace A. Install the Outside Air Kit intake. Insulate the pipe to prevent frost condensation. This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ven- tilation is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace system. See Section 6. An outside air kit must be used for combustion to mini- mize the effects of negative pressure within the structure. We recommend you utilize the shortest duct run to opti- mize the performance of the outside air kit. The outside air kit inlet should be positioned in a manner that will not allow snow, leaves, etc. to block the inlet. In some instal- lations the air duct may need to be run vertically. In such an installation, a 3 ft (914 mm) height difference must be maintained from the top of the uppermost chimney sec- tion to the outside combustion air inlet. See Figure 7.2 on page 40. See Figure 7.1 for proper placement of outside air inlet. The outside air kit is installed on the right hand side of the fireplace. See Figure 7.3 on page 40, for handle location/ operation. 3. Use the supplied termination cap. 4. Seal between the wall and the pipe with silicone to prevent moisture penetration and air leaks. 5. Seal between the termination cap and the house with silicone to prevent air infiltration. NOTE: A control knob allows you control of the outside air inlet. Use of outside air for combustion is required to conserve heated air within the structure and to provide make up air to keep the fireplace venting properly. IMPORTANT! Outside air control considerations Tum counter -clockwise to "OPEN" positions Outside air knob must be in the "OPEN" position to oper- ate fireplace property. May be closed when not in use to prevent cold air infiltra- tion CAUTION/ Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation! DO NOT draw outside combustion air from wall, floor or ceiling cavity, or enclosed spaces such as an attic or garage. • DO NOT place outside air hood close to exhaust vents or chimneys.

These actions could cause overheating/fire in the chimney flue, or release of exhaust fumes into the living areas. 4/12 Heat & Glo • NorthStar EPA Fireplace • 480-1081 H Page 43 C. Using Offsets/ Returns • Use an offset/return to bypass overhead obstructions. • An offset and return can be used as a single entity or separated by chimney section(s). WARN/NGI Risk of Firel DO NOT use offset/returns greater than 30°. Chimney draft will be restricted and could cause over- heating and fire. Secure offsets vwith screws ( not to exceed 1/2"/ 13 mm in length) Secure returns with strapping. Straight chimney sections may be secured with screws. Keep chimney sections from separating or twisting. • MEASURE THE SHIFT NEEDED TO AVOID THE OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTION. Refer to dimension Ain Figure 8.3. • Find the appropriate A dimension listed in Table 8.2. The B dimension coinciding with the A dimension measurement in Table 8.2 represents the required vertical clearance needed to complete the offset/return. • Read across the chart to find the number of chimney sections/model numbers needed between the offset and return.

Install Attic Insulation Shield WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST install an attic insu- lation shield when there is any possibility of insulation or other combustible material coming into contact with the chimney. • DO NOT pack insulation between the chimney and the attic insulation shield. • Failure to keep insulation and other materials away from chimney pipe could cause fire. • DO NOT offset chimney inside insulation shield. Installation of a ceiling firestop is required • Refer to Figures 8.8 - 8.10. • Roll the shield (around the chimney if already installed) until you have a 3 in. (76 mm) overlap and the three holes on each side match up (large holes on top). • Insert three screws into the matching holes to form a tube. • Bend three tabs on the bottom of the tube inward to 90° to maintain chimney air space (refer to Figure 8.8). • Rest the insulation shield on the ceiling firestop below. • Bend the three short tabs at the top of the shield inward to 90° to maintain the 2 in. (51 mm) air space from the chimney. • Bend the remaining top tabs to just meet the pipe. If you wish to make a custom shield or barrier, follow these guidelines: • Metal is preferred, although any material stiff enough to hold back the insulation can be used. WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use of cardboard or other materials that can deflect under humidity or other envi- ronmental conditions is not recommended. • The shield or barrier must be tall enough to extend above the insulation and prevent blown -in insulation from spilling into the cavity. • Maintain specified air spaces around chimney. • Check instructions and local codes for further details. H. Secure the Chimney When offsets and returns are joined to straight pipe sec- tions, they must be locked into position with the screws pro- vided" (outer only), using the predrilled holes. To prevent gravity from pulling the chimney sections apart, the returns and the chimney stabilizers have hanger straps for secur- ing these parts to joists or rafters. See Figure 8.11 on page 48. Use #6 or #8 sheet metal screw, or larger, no longer than 1/2 in. (13mm). Bend remaining tabs to rest against pipe to Bend inward prevent insulation 900 from falling in.

Construct the Chase A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run on the outside of a building must be installed inside a chase. In cold climates, it is recommended that the chase insulated using batt type insulation between the joists. Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build- ing. These instructions are not substitutes for the require- ments of local building codes. Local building codes MUST be checked. Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building envelope in any manner. All outer walls need to be insulated. Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling firestops at each floor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 mm) of clear space to control spread of fire. Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor at the first level of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 9.1 Vapor and air infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the inside surfac- es be sheet rocked and taped (or the use of an equivalent method) for maximum airtightness. Holes and other openings should be caulked with high tem- perature caulk or stuffed with unfaced fiber glass insulation.

Facing materials must be installed properly to prevent fire. No materials may be substituted without authorization by Hearth & Home Technologies TOOLS NEEDED: Powered drill with #2 Phillips head bit; caulk- ing gun. Secure the fireplace to the floor or wall framing studs at a minimum of two attachment points to prevent fur- ther movement of the fireplace. The same holes and L brackets that attached the fireplace to the pallet may be used to secure the fireplace to the sub flooring by using a minimum of two 1/4 in. x 2 in. lag bolts or equivalent. Refer to Figure 10.1 and install the two metal hearth strips at this time. NOTE: All boards are pre -drilled for your conve- nience. Boards MUST be attached in the following order: bottom, top, and then the two sides. 2. Attach the bottom board to the bottom of the outer fire- place can with enclosed screws, ensuring the board is centered. 3. Center and attach the top board to the outer can and framing members. 4. Using the Super Calstick, run a light bead (1/8 in. mini- mum) on the butt edges of the top board. See Figure 10.2 5. Ensuring the top of the side pieces and the top board align, attach the side pieces to the outer can and fram- ing members. 6. Use a wet or dry towel or a soft brush to remove any dust or dirt from facing material. Apply a non-combusti- ble adhesive to attach tile, stone or other non-combus- tible finishing materials per manufacturer's instructions. 7. The non-combustible Super Calstick may be used for sealing between the fireplace and the hearth exten- sion. Refer to Figure 10.3.

Large gaps can be bridged with fiberglass rope gas- ket. Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the metal fireplace front. • Cardboard OR Metal Template A cardboard template of the front is printed on the outside of the shipping box. It measures 1/8 in. (3 mm) bigger all the way around than the actual front. Cut out the template along the outside of the line for use in your installation. A metal template is also available for more durable continued use remaining accurate over time. See page 64 for catalog number. WARNING! Fire Risk! Maintain clearances Use only non-combustible material below standoffs, mate- rial such as cement board is acceptable. Framing or finishing material used on the front of, or in front of, the appliance closer than the minimums listed, must be constructed entirely of non-combustible materials (i.e., steel studs, concrete board, etc.). WARNING! Fire Risk! Hearth & Home Technologies is not responsible for discoloration, cracking or other material failures of finishing materials due to heat exposure or smoke. • Choose finishing materials carefully. D. Hearth Extension WARNING! Risk of tire! High temperatures, sparks, embers or other burning material falling from the fireplace may ignite flooring or concealed combustible surfaces. • Protective metal hearth strips MUST be installed. • Hearth extensions MUST be installed exactly as specified. • You MUST use a hearth extension with this fireplace. • Refer to Figure 10.5 for minimum dimensions. • This fireplace has been tested and approved for use with a hearth extension insulated to a minimum R value of 2.06. • The hearth extension material MUST be covered with tile, stone or other non-combustible material. • Manufactured hearth materials will usually have a published R value (resistance to heat) or k value (conductivity of heat).
