WARNOCK HERSEY SAFETY LABEL Version: 1.
THE INGLENOOK FIREPLACE INTRODUCTION The Inglenook hi-tech fireplace is an energy efficient, non-catalytic, heat circulating, closed combustion system. As an Inglenook Fireplace owner, you can expect a lifetime of warmth from this Country Flame product provided it is installed, maintained and operated properly. Please read, understand, and retain the Inglenook Owners Manual. Do not destroy the Owners Manual, as it should be retained for future reference.
INGLENOOK FIREPLACE OPERATION FUEL The Inglenook should be fueled with seasoned cordwood. Hardwoods will provide more energy per pound of wood consumed because of its superior density when compared to softwood. If hardwoods are utilized to fuel your Inglenook, the results will be a longer burning fire that requires less frequent refueling. It is recommended that whether hardwood or softwood is used, the moisture content should not exceed 20%.
COMBUSTION CONTROL The Inglenook is not designed to operate with a flue damper. As is standard practice with hi-tech high efficiency fireplaces, the Inglenook combustion air damper controls all air entering the firebox. This combustion air damper allows the owner more precise control of the fire by accurately controlling the air available for combustion. The combustion air damper control is located on the right side of the Inglenook just below the bottom edge of the top grill as shown in Figure 1.
FIGURE 2: HIGH BURN COMBUSTION AIR DAMPER SETTING CAUTION must be used when operating the Inglenook Fireplace with the combustion air damper control wide open. Only seasoned hardwood should be burnt in this manner. Burning softwoods, small dry pieces of construction scraps, trash or paper with the combustion air damper control wide open will cause a very intense fire to be created. This intense high temperature fire could permanently damage the Inglenook firebox or create hazardous situations.
change in the flame pattern. The flames will be slow and intermittent and may appear dirty if the wood is too wet i.e., a moisture content of 20% and more. During the Low Combustion Burn Mode, creosote may accumulate on the glass doors. Low combustion burning should only be used after the firebox has been allowed to reach a hot operating temperature i.e., the air combustion damper has been fully open to produce a hot fire for about an hour.
2. Negative Pressure As the Inglenook fire burns, the exhaust gases are drafted up and out of the chimney system. The Inglenook Fireplace system is “pulling” fresh air from somewhere to keep the fire burning properly. The Inglenook’s exhausted draft air has to be replaced via a properly operating outside air duct system connected to the fireplace. If not connected properly, the fireplace will draw air to the firebox from inside the house or the fire will be starved due to a lack of available combustion air.
FIGURE 5: CHIMNEY INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS 7. Poor Chimney Draft Perform the following simple test of your chimney draft. With no fire in the Inglenook firebox hold a recently lit match (smoke should be trailing from the match) inside the firebox towards the upper one third of the top of the firebox. If the draft is proper, you should see the match smoke being exhausted up through the baffle.
MAINTAINING YOUR INGLENOOK FIREPLACE CREOSOTE When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form a black deposit called creosote. Creosote will accumulate on the flue lining and if left to build up, can create a potential fire hazard within the chimney system. When ignited, creosote makes an extremely hot fire. If the creosote deposit within a chimney system were large then a resultant chimney fire would burn extremely hot.
4. Always 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. Inspect outside the house to ensure that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting the roof or any adjacent building or property. 6.
DOOR(S) INSTALLATION The Inglenook doors have been mounted and checked for proper fit at the factory. If the doors are removed for any reason, care must be taken in reinstalling the doors to ensure proper alignment and fit. Setting the doors is quite simple. Ensure the doors are in the fully open position and then align the female portion of the door hinge with the male portion of the fireplace hinge. Gently lower the door hinges over the fireplace hinge.
hazardous to use. Inglenook Fireplace replacement glass can be purchased from the Country Flame factory or through one of Country Flame’s authorized dealers. DO NOT OPERATE the Inglenook Fireplace with cracked or broken door glass. See Figure 8 for securing points for the door glass. FIGURE 8: DOOR GLASS REPLACEMENT GLASS CLEANING The Inglenook Fireplace is designed with an advanced air wash system to extend the time between required cleaning of door glass.
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION INGLENOOK FIREPLACE LOCATION 1. The best location for your fireplace is determined by considering the location of windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the room where the fireplace is to be located.
HEARTH EXTENSION REQUIREMENTS The Inglenook Fireplace can be installed directly on a combustible or non-combustible base or directly on the floor. If the customer chooses, the Inglenook Fireplace can be elevated off the floor as long as the requirements in paragraph 3 on page 18 are maintained between the base of the appliance and the ceiling above the appliance.
3. Frame the Inglenook Fireplace with vertical studs on each side of the fireplace. These studs should run from floor to ceiling as shown in Figure 12. If combustible facing is to be used, space the studs back from the front edge of the fireplace by the thickness of the facing material. This will ensure that when the facing material is installed, it will be flush with the front edge of the Inglenook Fireplace. CAUTION: Do not extend combustible material on to face of fireplace.
INSULATED CHASE CONSTRUCTION FIGURE 13: INSULATED CHASE FACING 1. Combustible material must be installed flush with the fireplace. It may not project in front of or on the fireplace. This means that the steel front façade of the fireplace must not be overlapped with the combustible facing material. Figure 14 shows the proper installation of combustible material with reference to the fireplace front façade. 2.
FIGURE 14: COMUSTIBLE FACING FIGURE 15: NON-COMBUSTIBLE FACING MANTEL CLEARANCES: Option 1: Option 2: Option 3: Option 4: When installing the unit without the gravity duct kit the mantel must be at least 71” from the base of the unit. When installing the unit with the optional gravity duct kit the mantel must be at least 55 inches from the bottom of the unit.
HOT AIR DUCT INSTALLATION There are many different types of hot air ducting systems in the marketplace today. Only a hot air duct system that has been specifically safety tested with the Inglenook Fireplace is authorized for use with this product.
FIGURE 18: HOT AIR DUCT KIT MULITPLE LOCATION INSTALLATION Hot air duct outlets must be installed with the following information or local codes adhered to: 1. Remove the plates closing up the eight-inch diameter holes on top of the Inglenook Fireplace. There is a hot air duct outlet on each side of the eight-inch chimney flue outlet. Cut the insulation covering the air duct outlets. This will expose two eight-inch diameter openings. Install the two adaptors into the eight-inch openings. 2.
only single wall. The Inglenook Fireplace chimney requires double wall Type B vent. The Inglenook Fireplace has not been tested for a Central forced air kit and should not be used in such applications. 7. Use only Country Flame approved grills and components as described in the kit and specifications sections of this manual. Non-approved grills or registers may be too restrictive and thus create a situation that overheats the fireplace or ceiling. 8.
OUTSIDE AIR KIT INSTALLATION A minimum of a four (4) inch hole is to be made in the outside wall of the house at the specified location for the fresh air outside air duct. From outside the home place the fresh outside air duct register in the hole (open side down) and fasten the register to the wall with screws provided. Slip the duct pipe into the insulated sleeve. Place the insulated pipe over the register tube and over the fireplaces outside air connector.
ELECTRICAL LINE INSTALLATION 120 VOLTS AC FOR BLOWER (optional) SYSTEM A licensed electrician should be employed to bring electrical power to the Inglenook Fireplace. Power is only required if, during the lifetime of an Inglenook, a customer might decide to install the optional blower motor. Since the Inglenook is usually “built-in” the decision to provide electricity to the Inglenook fireplace must be made during original installation.
disk (provided with the blower kit) into the snap disk holder, located on the right side at the top of the ash pan housing, utilizing the two screws provided in the kit; c) install the wiring harness provided with the blower kit. Once all connections are made and parts properly located, plug the power cord into the receptacle located on the lower right corner inside the lower grill compartment. A certified electrician should have previously connected this receptacle to the home power grid.
GAS LINE INSTALLATION GAS FOR GAS LOG OPERATION A licensed plumber should be used to install a gas line to the Inglenook Fireplace. Figure 21 shows a typical gas line installation. Ensure that the grate, ash pan, and the side of the ash pan housing are removed before gas log installation Figure 21: Gas Line Installation (optional) The gas line and the gas line cut-off valve can be obtained from a local hardware store or heating and plumbing outlet.
THE CHIMNEY CHIMNEY INSTALLATION 1. If possible, always install an approved chimney system in an interior chase of the home. This will provide better performance by maintaining heat in the entire chimney system thus ensuring better draft and removal of spent exhaust gases. In areas where temperatures hover or remain below freezing, the use of an exterior chimney will increase the likelihood of fireplace starting and operating problems.
4. MINIMUM CHIMNEY HEIGHT: The chimney must be a minimum of 8’above top of fireplace. The chimney must extend a minimum of three feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof. Also, the chimney must be at least two feet higher than any portion of the building within ten feet. 5. MAXIMUM CHIMNEY HEIGHT: The chimney can be no taller than 50’ high as measured from the top of the Inglenook Fireplace anchor plate. 6.
REMINDER: The chimney must extend at least three feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof of a building. The chimney must be at least two feet higher than any portion of a building within ten feet of the chimney. Refer again to Figure 5 for clarification. Install the flashing, storm collar and the chimney cap following the chimney manufacturer’s instructions. Refer to the chimney manufacturer’s requirements concerning supports, bracing, anchors, and other required material.
