The 1101 insert must be installed into a solid fuel burning replace that is at least 16 1/2” (419mm) deep, 28 1/2"
(724mm) wide and 22" (559mm) high with an approved lined chimney at least 15' (4.6m) high and a hearth of 16”
(406mm).
Your 1402 insert must be installed only into a solid fuel burning replace that is at least 14 1/2" (368mm) deep 26"
(660mm) wide and 22" (559mm) high with an approved lined chimney at least 15' (4.6m) high and a hearth of 16”
(406mm). This minimum recess can only be achieved if the opening height is suf cient enough to allow the connector
to t under the noncombustible facing. The appliance and chimney must be constructed in accordance with all national
and local building code standards.
The chimney vent system used on your wood burning appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily ow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too
short or too long can also have an adverse affect on the ow of exhaust through it. The wood burning appliance
and chimney vent system also require a suf cient supply of combustion air not only to support the combustion in the
combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it so it can ow freely up through the vent system and out
into the atmosphere. It is the correct balance of combustion air and the chimney vent system that will ensure the
appliance provides you with its optimum performance.
Combustion air enters through two holes in the bottom covered by a single draft control. Air from the front
hole goes up on either side of the door into a preheating
airwash located across the top and then down the
window to feed the re and also to ensure that the glass
remains clean. Air from this hole also feeds directly into
the combustion chamber at hearth level. Secondary air
from the rear hole travels up the back in the secondary
air housing to the manifold located at the top and shoots
out laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.
The combustion chamber is lined with high temperature
rebrick on 2 sides, the back and across the bottom,
with a layer of bre baf es at the top to maintain a
high temperature in the combustion chamber so that
gases mixing with the preheated air from the secondary
air manifold tube are easily ignited and burned. The
appliance sides and back are shielded to direct the heat
upwards and forwards into the room.
Be sure to provide suf cient combustion air. There are
many other appliances in your home competing for air
such as: a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance
may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the rebox burning off. Open a
window to suf ciently ventilate the room.
