CAUTION YOUR CHIMNEY OR FLUE MUST BE CORRECTLY SIZED. A CHIMNEY OR FLUE THAT IS TOO SMALL OR LARGE IN DIAMETER, OR TOO SHORT, CAN CAUSE YOUR STOVE TO SPILL SMOKE WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. SECTION I INTRODUCTION Your new MODEL 21 is a non-catalytic unit designed to meet the most stringent emissions standards without the use of a catalytic combustor. This effect is achieved through the use of secondary air which is mixed with primary air in the unit’s firebox.
SECTION II MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION The Model 21 may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with the Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in this type of installation is to determine the acceptability of the fireplace and chimney for use with a woodstove. Both the construction and condition of the fireplace are important considerations when installing a woodstove.
Floor Protection: When installing freestanding heater ,a floor protector must be use. Floor protection must be 3/8” minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent .R=0.06 How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness. An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements listed in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure: 1. Convert specification to R-value: R-value is given—no conversion is needed.
POSSIBLE TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION If you decide to install your own stove, there are several hand tools you may need to do the job. If you do not already have them, they are readily available at most hardware stores.
SAFETY NOTICE If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE (Use a Listed Direct or Positive Connect) POSITIONING THE HEATER NOTE: If the three suggested installations have been chosen, certain steps must be followed when installing the heater into a masonry fireplace. When positioning the heater, the following conditions MUST be met! (See Figure 2) 1. 2. FIGURE 2 The front of the damper opening must be positioned BEHIND the rear edge of the lintel to ensure proper draft. (See Figure 2) Center the heater in the fireplace opening.
10. If direct connect or positive connect kit is not used, follow instructions in (mounting trim panels, steps 1-4c) on (Page 8). 11. Mount top trim panel by drilling mounting holes in center of trim panel mounting brackets, with top end side of top panel overlapping side panel. 12. Using insulation provided, peel and stick to back of panels overlapping fireplace dimensions by 1” on each side and top. (See Page 8, Figure 3). 13.
CAUTION THE UNIT IS PAINTED WITH A SPECIALLY FORMULATED HIGH TEMPERATURE PAINT THAT CURES DURING THE FIRST TWO OR THREE FIRINGS. YOU MAY NOTICE A SLIGHT SMOKING EFFECT AND AN ODOR OF BURNING PAINT WHEN YOU BUILD THE FIRST FIRES. THIS IS NORMAL AND IS NOT A CAUSE FOR ALARM. IN SOME CASES, THESE FUMES WILL ACTIVATE A SMOKE ALARM. OPENING A WINDOW NEAR THE UNIT WILL ALLOW THESE FUMES TO ESCAPE. DO NOT BUILD A LARGE, ROARING FIRE UNTIL THIS CURING IS COMPLETE OR THE HEATER FINISH MAY BE DAMAGED.
SECTION III PRE-FAB INSERT INSTALLATION The Model 21 has been tested with the following: Heatilator Tempco Marco Woodside Security Preway FMI Majestic NOTE: The Model 21 may be installed in any of the pre-fabricated frieplaces listed above if they are big enough to accept the heater. NOTE: A FULL CHIMNEY LINER IS REQUIRED IN A ZERO CLEARANCE OR PRE -FABRICATED FIREPLACE. NOTE: The ash lip, smoke baffle, and smoke shelf may be removed if necessary to provide room for these models.
SECTION IV RESIDENTIAL AND MOBILE HOME FREESTANDING INSTALLATION Select an installation location that will give the best airflow from the front of the heater to the remainder of the home. PREPARING THE STOVE FOR INSTALLATION 1. Inspect the unit for any obvious physical damage. 2. Plug the power cord into a 115V AC outlet to test the motor and fan when optional motor is being used. “Do not run power cord under unit or in high traffic areas”. 3.
Floor Protection: Floor protection must be 3/8” minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent. How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness. An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements listed in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure: 1. Convert specification to R-value: R-value is given—no conversion is needed. K– factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: C-factor is given: R=1/C 2.
PREPARING THE ROOM HEATER LOCATION 1. Select an installation location that will give the best airflow from the front of the heater to the remainder of the home. 2. Place the protective floor pad in position. 3. Place the unit on the pad making sure the minimum clearance specifications are met. 4. If connecting to an existing masonry flue, first ensure that the flue conforms to the NFPA211 Code and/or consult your local code for proper procedures.

Plug the power cord into a 115V AC outlet when using with optional motor. 5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close the doors. Ensure that the stove draws properly through the primary draft. 6. Check for smoke leaks around the door. CAUTION Open the doors and check for smoke escaping from the front of the stove.
SECTION VI WOOD HEATER SAFETY Certain safety hazards are inherent in any wood heater installation. You should be aware of these so that a safe and proper installation can be made. 1. FAULTY CHIMNEY: An older masonry chimney should be thoroughly checked to be sure there are no holes or weak spots which could allow sparks or hot gases to escape. 2. HEAT CONDUCTION: Placing combustible materials too close to a heater or chimney can be a fire hazard.
SECTION VII OPERATION This section of the manual is to help you get the maximum efficiency and maximum smoke (particulate) reduction from your heater. If you should experience any difficulty or have any questions concerning your heater, contact your dealer for assistance. The manufacturer recommends that for maximum performance burn seasoned hard wood. Build a fire for maximum efficiency. These models burn wood and extract heat so efficiently, a large fire is not necessary.
SECTION VIII TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM 1. Sluggish Heater POSSIBLE CAUSE 1. Obstruction in Chimney 2. Improperly sealed trim kit or direct connect kit 3. Manual damper in chimney is closed 4. Wet or unseasoned wood being burned 5. Poor chimney draft 37 SOLUTION 1. Check for and remove obstruction 2. (a) Check trim kit gasketing seal to fireplace and gasket as necessary to seal unit. Gasket under front bottom of stove if needed. (b) Check seal if using direct connect and correct. 3.
PROBLEM 2. High fuel consumption 3. Backpuffing POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION 1. Improper regulation of draft or inlet air 1. (a) Close inlet air control as much as possible to maintain desired heat output. (b) Check gaskets, reinstall fiberglass gasketing round doors and glass as necessary 2. Improper door fitting 2. Check door gasket, check adjustment of door latch 1. Gusts of Wind 1. (a) Smoke shelf in chimney is filled with creosote & ash (b) Chimney may need wind diverter.
