NOTES
3.1 Choosing the best location: Before beginning the installation, make sure the spot you have in mind for the fireplace and the chimney meet the following requirements: 3.1.1 Chimney: Position the chimney to avoid, as much as possible, offsets, elbows and the cutting-out of structural elements. The weight of the chimney must not rest on the stove. Allow at least 2" (50 mm) for air space between the chimney and any combustible material including electrical cables, and plastic plumbing pipes. Never fill this air space with insulation. For example, if the chimney has an outside diameter of 12" (305 mm), by adding the required 2" (50 mm) air space, a 16" (406 mm) free continuous path is required to install the chimney. Do not connect this fireplace to a chimney that is connected to another heating device. 3.1.2 Chimney minimum height: 15 feet (4600 mm) for proper operation. This length is measured from the floor where the fireplace is installed to the top of the chimney. 3.1.3 Minimum clearances from combustible materials : The location of the fireplace must meet the minimal specified clearances requirements from any combustible material, including furniture, drapes and other flammable objects. Note that Type X fire-resistant gypsum board (Firecode) is considered combustible for fireplaces installations. (See Page 9 and 10).
4. Factory-built chimney instructions 4.1 Listed parts: Use only ULC or UL listed parts supplied by the chimney manufacturer when installing the chimney. The chimney must be installation in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
REV. 2014-11

5. Factory-built chimney installation
Chimney minimum height above the roof
5.1 Ceiling support installation: Use and install only parts furnished by the manufacturer of the chimney.
10 feet (3 m) Radius 2 feet min (610 mm) min.
3 feet (1 m) min.
Warning: Lateral roof braces need to be installed when the unsupported chimney height above the roof is more than 6 feet (2 m).
DRAWING 3 4.2 Maximum allowed offsets: Don't install more than 4 elbows in the chimney. Offsets cannot be more than 30 degrees from the vertical axis. The sum of all offsets (elbows) must never exceed the number 120. For example, maximum allowed offsets would include: two offsets of 30degree (4 elbows x 30 degrees =120) or an offset of 30 degrees plus another one of 15 degrees (2 elbows x 30 degrees + 2 elbows x 15 degrees = 90). 4.3 Radiation shield/firestop: Install a radiation shield/firestop every time the chimney passes through a combustible floor or ceiling.
5.2 Chimney lengths installation: Continue with the installation of the chimney by positioning lengths with the male end up. The attic insulation must never be in contact with the chimney. Allow at least 2" (50 mm) for air space between the chimney and any combustible material. 5.3 Minimum chimney height above the roof: (Drawing 3): Extend the chimney at least 3 feet (1 m) above the roof or 2 feet (610 mm) above any construction element within 10 feet (3 m) of the chimney. 5.4 Flashing water tightness: Install a metal roof flashing with a storm collar where the chimney pass meets the roof. Seal the joint between the chimney and the storm collar and the joint between the roofing and the flashing. 5.5 Roof braces: Any chimney that extends more than 6 feet (2 m) above the roof needs to be laterally strengthened with a pair of telescopic roof braces. 5.6 Chimney top: Install a chimney round top at the end of the chimney.
6. Stone pipe installation 6.1 Stove pipe: Always install the pipes with the male end up so that any condensation water can drip and stay inside the pipe.
4.4 Chimney weight: The weight of the chimney must be supported at regular intervals according to the manufacturer's instructions. The weight of the chimney must never be supported by the fireplace. In addition, offset supports must be installed above and as close as possible to each offset (elbow) in the chimney.

PART 2: SECURITY, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 1. General operation 1.1 Combustion control: Two valves are used to control combustion. The first one (Drawing 20), controls the air intake in the combustion chamber. The second one control the smoke outlet (Drawing 21). These two valves are controlled by the same removable handle. 1.2 Air intake control (Drawing 20): The sliding valve controlling the air intake is located above the insert glass door. A special multi-purpose removable handle is provided to open or close it. Pull the handle to admit more air into the combustion chamber. Push the handle to reduce the air intake. In practice, the best position for the valve will vary according to three factors: fire intensity, chimney draught and wood humidity. As a general rule, a fire will last longer if less air is admitted in the combustion chamber. If a hot and blazing fire is wanted, then open the air intake fully. 1.3 Smoke outlet control: This sliding valve is a part the of the high efficiency HE deflector system (Drawing 22). It is located in the middle of the insert just above the air intake control (Drawing 21). Use the multi-purpose handle to operate it. Close it to increase the combustion efficiency by reburning the gases contained in the smoke. Open fully when opening the door, starting a fire or when using a firescreen or the BBQ grill.

supply to maintain the combustion. If the room is under a negative pressure, if the house is too airtight, or if a ventilation device is in operation it may be necessary to open a door or a window to compensate. 2.2 Preventing smoke returns: Your fireplace is designed to operate without smoke returns during normal operating conditions and when installed according to the instructions outlined in the manual. However, some conditions out of our control can create smoke returns. Don-Bar Fireplaces cannot guarantee the absence of smoke returns but if this phenomenon occurs special attention should be given to the following situations: mechanical ventilators in operation (kitchen hood, dryer, air heating system, air exchanger), drafts, room or house negative pressure, inadequate chimney height, exterior structures harmful to the chimney draft or capable of causing smoke returns, an indoor moisture level that is too high and causes ice build-up in the flue and reduces chimney draft, too many elbows in the chimney, crushed outside air intake duct, strong winds, etc.

3. Firewood 3.1 Allowed fuels: Your fireplace is designed to burn wood only. To start a fire, use only newspaper and small pieces of firewood.
Use the handle to control the damper
3.2 Forbidden fuels: Anthracite, melamine, pressure treated or painted wood, wood particle boards and other composite materials. These materials reach very high temperatures and release corrosive gases, which may irreparably damage your installation and void the warranty.
DRAWING 22
2. Precautions before lighting your first fire 2.1 Adequate air supply: A wood fire requires plenty of air. Always be sure there is enough air
REV. 2014-11
Page 13
3.3 Recommended wood species: For an efficient and economical operation, use only dry hardwood such as maple, oak, wild cherry, birch, etc. The use of dry hardwood reduces creosote formation. Avoid softwoods, coniferous and green woods. These produce a lot of creosote. 3.4 Green wood: If your firewood is too green, place it in a well ventilated space, sheltered from rain, as long as necessary to allow it to dry. Dry wood is easy to identify: it is cracked at the ends and much lighter because it contains less water.
the air intake control must be fully open. Always use a firescreen with an open fire. Note that the air intake control is inoperative when the door is open. 4.3 Controlled combustion fires: First, follow the instructions at 4.2 for open fires. Later, following the formation of embers, the flame will be less intense, the chimney flue warmer and you will be able to close gradually the sliding smoke damper. You will also be able to close gradually the air intake control to increase the heating power of the fire. 4.4 How to start a fire: To light a good fire, begin by placing 4 or 5 newspaper balls in the fireplace. Next, place 5 to 8 small pieces of dry firewood over the newspaper. Then add 2 or 3 small-sized logs. Light the newspaper in 4 or 5 spots. When the small firewood begins to burn, add 1 or 2 medium-sized logs.
Using the handle to open the door DANGER OF BURNS Never leave the handle on the door during a fire.
4.5 Firescreen is mandatory when the insert is used with an open door: In order to prevent dangerous spark discharges and falling embers, always use a firescreen (supplied separately - not shipped with the insert) when making an open fire. 4.6 Preventing overfiring: Don't overload your fireplace. Don't make fast and hot fires (such as those using only paper, cardboard or small wood). These fires can generate very high temperatures that may damage your chimney if they last longer than 2 minutes.
Turn the handle to lock or unlock the door
DRAWING 23
4. The fire 4.1 Opening the HE smoke sliding damper: Before lighting a fire, completely open the smoke sliding damper. Use the provided handle as indicated in Drawings 21. 4.2 Open fires: The smoke sliding damper and REV. 2014-11
Page 14
4.7 Forbidden flammable liquids: Never use flammable liquids or accelerators such as gas, lamp oil, kerosene, BBQ starters, or other flammable substances to start or stir up a fire. Always keep these products away from the fire when using the fireplace. 4.8 Smoke release during the first fire: It is possible that, while making your first fire, the fireplace releases smoke for about 20 minutes. This smoke release is normal and is usually caused by the "baking" of the fireplace paint finish. Open a window and the smoke will disappear by itself in a few minutes. Caution: This smoke can trigger a smoke detector causing a false alarm! 4.9 Caution: Very hot! Your fireplace can become very hot. Be careful when coming close to it. Keep clothes, furniture, drapes, pets and young children away from the fireplace. 4.10 Gloves and poker: In order to operate the fireplace safely, always keep a poker on hand. Heat resistant gloves are also recommended and can be very useful when you have to handle hot parts during an emergency. 4.11 Smoke detector: For your safety install a smoke and carbon monoxyde detector in the room where the fireplace is installed.
5. Ashes 5.1 Ashes removal: Your fireplace must be emptied regularly. Always keep a bed of ashes of about 1" (25 mm) in the fireplace to protect the hearth bottom. Do not use a log grate. 5.2 Metallic container: To collect ashes, use a metal container with an airtight lid.. Dispose of them on the ground, outside, away from any combustible material. If you plan to bury ashes or dispose of them another way, keep them in an airtight container until completely cooled.
potash, phosphorus, and ideal for acidic soils.
6. Fireplace maintenance and protection 6.1 Finish maintenance: Your fireplace is covered and protected by a special hightemperature paint finish. Normal maintenance requires only a simple dusting using a dry and soft duster or a feather duster. Avoid splashing liquids on the fireplace. 6.2 Repainting: If, over time, it becomes necessary to freshen up the fireplace finish, you can spray directly on the old finish a coat of "Stove Bright" high temperature stove paint. The standard color used by Don-Bar is Metallic Black no 6309. 6.3 Fireplace storing before installation: To prevent rusting, always store the fireplace and its components in a dry space.
7. Glass firescreen maintenance 7.1 Glass maintenance: To clean the glass, begin with a duster and, preferably, a stove glass cleaner. These aerosol glass cleaners are sold by stove and fireplace dealers. They are specially formulated to dissolve creosote without damaging the glass. Then, to get a sparkling surface, finish with a clean duster and a domestic glass cleaner such as Windex. Warning: Wait until the glass has completely cooled before attempting to clean it. Never use an abrasive cleaner on the glass. 7.2 Replacing a glass pane: If a glass pane shatter, replaced it with a 5 mm ceramic glass pane of the same dimensions.
5.3 Natural fertilizer: Ashes are useful as natural plant fertilizer. They are rich in lime, REV. 2014-11

9. Chimney maintenance 9.1 Creosote build-up and removing: When wood burns slowly, tar and organic vapors are released. These combustion by-products combine with moisture to form creosote. When creosote vapor comes in contact with a relatively cold surface, such as a chimney flue during a slow burning fire, it condensates. As a result, creosote residues build up inside the chimney. When this creosote deposit catches fire, the chimney can reach dangerously high temperatures.

9.2 Inspection and regular maintenance: The chimney must be inspected regularly during the heating season in order to determine whether is creosote build-up. In order to avoid chimney fires, the chimney must be cleaned if the creosote build-up reaches a 1/8" (3 mm) thickness.

DRAWING 24 The ceramic replacement glass (pyroceram) can usually be ordered from a local glazier or ordered directly from Don-Bar Fireplaces. (Note: the glass panes are not warrantied against breaking). Warning: Never replace a broken door glass with an ordinary or tempered glass: it will shatter and may cause serious injuries.

7.3 Door gaskets: The gasket ensuring the door airtightness must be changed periodically. Replace it with a similar fiberglass 3/8" (10 mm) round stove gasket. To replace the gasket around the glass, use a U-shaped 1/2" (12 mm) fiberglass stove gasket.
8. BBQ grill installation 8.1 BBQ grill installation: First, adjust the height of the metal bar supplied with the grill to support it at front. The BBQ grill is set in place by simply inserting the central long rod into one of the holes provided on the hearth plate at the REV. 2014-11

9.3 Soot build-up on the HE smoke sliding deflector (Drawing 26): During the chimney cleaning, be sure to remove any creosote or soot build-up over the HE smoke deflector. The buildup of soot on the deflector can prevent the flow of smoke.
Cleaning of the HE smoke deflector To prevent soot build-up the smoke deflector must be cleaned at regular intervals Cleaning sequence
10. Firescreen installation

10.1 Firescreen: The optional firescreen is simply put in place in the front of the insert. Just tilt it a little and slip it into the opening. Integrated clips will keep it in place.

11. Anti-smoke flap 11.1 Anti-smoke flap installation (optional):: See details on Drawing 27.
1 Unscrew the rod that control the sliding damper. Access the nut from inside the fireplace.
12. Humidity and condensation
2 Unscrew the 4 bolts that hold the smoke deflector.
12.1 Excessive humidity and condensation: In winter, high humidity levels inside the house can cause chimney problems such as condensation, and ice build-up eventually dripping into the fireplace. In extreme cases, the condensation water can even infiltrate the chimney insulation. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to maintain a 30-35% humidity level inside the house.
3 Take out the deflector. Tilt it down to unhook it from its bracket on the back of the fireplace.

PART 4: CHIMNEY FIRES DIRECTIVES IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE
What to do
How to detect a chimney fire - Odour: Smell of smoke in the air. - Sight: The colour of the pipe change. Flames at the top of the chimney on the roof. - Hearing: Abnormal rumbling.
How to avoid chimney fires - Burn only dry firewood. - Clean the chimney at least once a year before the heating season or after burning 4 or 5 cords of firewood. - Don’t let creosote built-up in the chimney. - Don’t burn coniferous, construction wastes, or materials containing glues, paints, or other chemicals. - Always have a fire extinguisher on hand.
- Immediately alert the occupants of the building about the potential danger. - Call your local fire department or 911. - Cut all the sources of air that can feed the fire (windows, air intakes, doors, etc...) - Evacuate the house. - Following a chimney fire, don't reuse your fireplace until a professional has inspected it. A chimney fire can overheat the chimney components, wrap it inside, curve, crack or dislocate certain components. - Do all the recommendations of the professional and replace any part that is damaged or judged unsafe.
What NOT to do - Do not throw water on the fire. - Do not block the top of the chimney.
