1.2 Venting Requirements The flue is a critical component to a satisfactory installation. Your Drolet insert will attain its best performance if installed with a chimney that generates its own draft. The minimum requirement of a flue will be the installation of a flue connector (the liner must conform to UL1777 chimney liners) from the insert into the first flue tile of the chimney (USA), see Figure 2.3 , or a continuous stainless steel liner (the liner must conform to the Class 3 requ

2.1.1 Hearth Requirements If the non-combustible hearth is flush with the floor, then the hearth must be 16”/406mm (18”/450mm in Canada) in front of the fan housing (see Figure 2.1.2). If the non- combustible hearth is a minimum of 4” (102mm) above the floor, then the hearth can be 6” (152mm) out from the fan housing with a 10” (254mm) floor protection (sparks) extended beyond the hearth (see Figure 2.1.1). The non-combustible hearth must be a minimum of 8” (203mm) on each side of the

2.4 Installation Instructions 1. Inspect the fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary. 2. If the installation of the unit renders the existing damper control inaccessible, it will be necessary to either secure the damper wide open or remove it entirely. An inaccessible damper, which may close, could cause smoke to enter the room. This creates a potential health hazard. 3. CONNECTOR INSTALLATION: A flu

3.1 Safety Information 1. This insert is designed for safe operation WHEN BURNING CORDWOOD ONLY. Altering or modifying the unit or the installation without proper authorization will void the certification, warranty, and safety listing, and may result in a safety hazard. 2. For safety reasons, never leave the unit unattended with the door open or ajar. An open door, and especially a door partially open or cracked, if left for longer than required for good ignition can potentially res

homes, could possibly cause smoke spillage into the room. Smoke may contain carbon monoxide, which is poisonous, and in sufficient quantities is a health hazard. 11. We recommend that you have a fresh air or make up air supply for the insert. In Canada this is a building code requirement. If this is not done, it could cause poor air quality in the home, poor and incomplete combustion, and poor efficiency in the insert. Adequate ventilation is required to reduce effects from room air s

3.5 Maintaining The Fire Your Drolet insert will work best if a thick bed of hot embers is maintained in the bottom of the firebox, and a minimum of two large pieces of seasoned fuel are added. Combustion efficiency is largely related to establishing a hot ember bed, and hot firebox temperatures. The quicker the insert and fuel get up to operating temperature, the better. A small intense fire is preferred to a large smouldering fire, both to improve combustion efficiency and to reduce

Section 4.0 Maintenance 4.1 Care And Cleaning Clean the insert frequently so that soot, ash and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean the insert, glass or door when the unit is hot. Special care must be taken with plated surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance. Do not use an abrasive glass cleaner which will scratch the glass or plated finish. Use only a soft clean damp cloth on the door, since some cleaners may remove the plating or paint.

CAUTION: Ashes can start fires, even after several days of inactivity. Never dispose of ashes in a combustible container. Remove ashes only when the insert and ashes are cold. Ashes should be removed from the insert frequently. When ashes are removed, they should be placed in a metal container with a tightly fitting lid. 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
