REV. 2013-10

PART 1: INSTALLATION

WARNING: Any modification, change, or substitution of any fireplace component and/or not following the installation, operation, and maintenance instructions will void the warranty and can put your security at risk.

1.1 Before installation begins, carefully read the manual and contact your local building department to determine whether a building permit is required to install a fireplace.

1.2 The installation must follow the instructions in this manual and local building codes. If there is a conflict, you must follow the more restrictive measures.

1.3 For your security, enlist the services of a professional fireplace fitter for the installation.

1.4 Before lighting your first fire, read the instructions in Part 2 regarding Security, Operation and Maintenance.

2.1 Listed factory-built chimneys: Your Don-Bar fireplace is designed to be installed with a 7" I.D. (175 mm) or 8' (200 mm) prefabricated chimney bearing the ULC-S629 (2100 degrees).

3.1 Exterior chasing construction See details and dimensions on Drawings 13 and 14.

4. Before beginning the installation

4.1 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:

4.1.1 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 insulated case. 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.

4.1.2 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.

4.1.3 Minimum clearances from combustible materials (See Page 11): 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.

5.1 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.

The warm air ducts used to heat an upper floor by gravity shall rise as vertically as possible.

5.2 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 30-degree elbows (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).

5.3 Radiation shield/firestop: Install a radiation shield/firestop every time the chimney passes through a combustible wall or ceiling.

5.4 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 Don-Bar insulated case. In addition, offset supports must be installed above and as close as possible to each offset (elbow) in the chimney.

6.1 Fixing the anchor plate to the insert: Bolt the anchor plate (Drawings 3 and 4) on the insert with the furnished bolts. Take care to insert a fiberglass sealing gasket between the anchor plate and the top of the insert to eliminate any smoke leak.

8. Factory-built chimney installation

7.1 Raised base: The insert is installed on a 6.5" (165 mm) high raised base as indicated on Drawing 3. The raised base can be fitted with 2 optional fans. The raised base is factory installed. The insulated case must be fixed on the floor.

7.2 Insert positioning: Slip the insert on the raised base into the insulated case and adjust the alignment.

7.3 Stainless steel liner installation: Secure to the anchor plate bolted on the top of the insert a rigid stainless chimney liner of the same diameter as the chimney. The height of the liner must be 1/4" (6 mm) below the insulated case top. Secure the liner to the anchor plate with 3 stainless steel screws as indicated in Drawing 4.

8.1 Securing the anchor plate for the factory-built chimney: Use a standard factory-built chimney anchor plate for securing the chimney to the insulated case. Screw the anchor plate to the insulated case top with 4 metal screws. Join the anchor plate to the stainless rigid liner already secured to the insert. The male end of the anchor plate must slip into the stainless rigid liner for the condensation water to drip and stay inside the liner.

8.2 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.

9.1 Heating an upper or lower floor (Drawings 7 and 8): Your Don-Bar Zero Clearance Fireplace is designed to permit the heating of another floor - upper or lower. For this reason, openings have been provided into the sides of the insulated case to allow for the installation of insulated heating ducts of 6" I.D. (150 mm).

9.2 Heating a lower floor: The heating of a basement requires the installation an insulated duct with an axial fan. The insulated duct can run inside or outside the insulated case (Drawings 7 and 8).

8.3 Minimum chimney height above the roof: (Drawing 6): 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.

8.4 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.

8.5 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.

8.6 Chimney top: Install a chimney round top at the end of the chimney.

10.1 Metallic studs mandatories: Use only metallic studs for the framing around the 9.3 Axial fan installation: The axial fan for fireplace.basement heating must be installed near the basement ceiling at the end of the heating duct. The easiest way to secure the fan in place is to insert it into the heating duct and use a t-wrap around the duct to tighten the fan.

9.5 Heating an upper floor (Drawings 2, 7, 8): The heating of an upper space shall be done by gravity only, without a fan, by using the outlets provided on the top of the insulated case. For the best results, the duct must be installed in a vertical position without offsets that could reduce the airflow. The duct can be secured on the top of the insulated case using one of the pre punched holes, on the left or on the right, at choice. The outlet grille at the end of the duct must be made of metal and designed to allow a non restricted airflow.

9.6

9.4 Recommended ducts for heating: Use only non combustible ducts of 6" (150 mm) I.D. insulated with a fiberglass layer and a flexible protective covering. (total: 8" / 200 mm O.D.) Don't use ducts that have an inner side made of combustible plastics.

Danger of overheating: Never install the heating ducts horizontally or downward because they will overheat and can cause a fire (Drawing 8).

REV. 2013-10

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 to start a fire or when using a firescreen or the BBQ grill.

1.4 DANGER OF BURNS: Danger of burns by the excessive heat if the handle is left in place when using the device. Always remove the handle and store out of reach of children.

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.

3.1 Allowed fuels: Your fireplace is designed to burn wood and charcoal only. To start a fire, use only newspaper and small pieces of firewood.

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.

2.1 Adequate air supply: A wood fire requires plenty of air. Always be sure there is enough air

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.

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.

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 Drawing 21.

back of the fireplace (Drawing 25).

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.

7.2 (con't) 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.

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 build-up of soot on the deflector can prevent the flow of smoke.

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.

11.1 Anti-smoke flap installation (optional):: See details on Drawing 27.

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 an acceptable humidity level inside the house. This relative humidity level is between 30% and 35% during winter. To learn more about the possible techniques to solve a moisture problem you can consult, free of charge, the guide: Humidity, Condensation and Ventilation in Houses by the National Research Council of Canada at the following Internet address: www.nrc.ca/irc/bsi/83_E.html
