I have inspected the units installed and they have been built to specifications as required with proper clearances and the venting as required. Mason-lite will allow the conversion of the ASL72 into an AS63 to meet the EPA Qualified tests completed on the model AS63. This change will be accomplished by adding 6" of firebrick to the sides of the existing ASL72 fireplace currently installed. Sincerely.

Riverside, CA 92504 800 345 7078 Jake: RE: MASON LITE FIREPLACE TEST RESULTS This letter is to clarify the situation concerning the EPA test results for the MASON LITE line of masonry fireplaces. Masonry Fireplace Industries, LLC. (MFI) submitted a proposal to EPA to test at least three of their MASON LITE units, the 39 (small), the 44 (medium) and the 63 (large) and then use the highest emission factor from the three units tested as the emission factor for the entire MASON LITE line. After review, EPA accepted MFI's proposal. Myren Consulting, Inc. (EPA Accreditation Certificate # 002) has conducted an emission test series on each of the above units and all three units passed with an emission factor below EPA's standard of 5.1 g/kg. Thus, with this blanket approval from EPA, any MASON LITE unit is an EPA Approved/ Qualified unit. So the Mason Lite 49 with the Mason Lite 44 burner is covered under this blanket approval because MFI has demonstrated through actual testing that no matter what a unit's size is when equipped with MFI's wood/gas Pure Burn combustion system, it will burn cleanly with emissions below 5.1 g/kg- I hope this resolves the issue concerning the MASON LITE 49 with the Pure Burn system from the MASON LITE 44. if not let me know and I will try to provide whatever additional information is necessary.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS: Do not try to light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building. Immediately call 911 from cell phone or a neighbor's phone, then call your gas supplier and follow the gas supplier's instructions. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier Installation Instructions Note: For electronic ignition please follow separate instructions provided with the PurBurn electronic ignition system Important: Do not turn gas supply on until installation is complete and joints have been tested and have no leaks. Step 1: Slide burner and grate into firebox completely to the rear firebrick. Open grate bars face the rear of the firebox (Figure 1). Make sure that the burner holes are facing up and are centered with the rear wall. Step 2: Mark the firebrick where the gas line will enter the unit. Remove burner and grate and drill hole for 1/2" pipe. (Figure 2). Note: For Left hand installation rotate burner tubes 180 Degrees. Figure 2 Drill hole for 1/2" gas line Step 3: After hole is drilled for 1/2 pipe. Side burner and grate back into place. Insert flex line through side wall and fire brick and attach to the burner. Use high temperature caulk to seal any gap between the side wall and the flex line. Step 4: Place ash guard onto grate to cover intake pipe. Step 5: Pipe sealant must be used on all pipe joints. Test all joints to be sure you have no leaks before you turn the gas supply on. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. Operation Instructions Important: Do not turn gas supply on until installation is complete and joints have been tested and have no leaks. 1. Open chimney flue (Secure damper so it may NEVER be fully closed). 2. Clean burn chamber and surrounding area of all debris BEFORE EACH USE, especially ashes that may contain hot coals from previous fires. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with tight -fitting lid. Do not place container on combustible materials until ashes have cooled or been removed from container. All cinders should be cooled thoroughly before disposal. Build up of ash and soot above the burner will cause poor performance of this product. 3. Be sure gas valve to the "off" position. 4. Place logs on the fireplace grate allowing sufficient air space between logs for quick lighting. 5. Light a long-stemmed fireplace match and hold it toward the center of the cast-iron burner ports. 6. Turn the log lighter valve "on" gradually until ignition occurs. 7. If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn valve OFF, wait for five (5) minutes before trying again. 8. Keep gas supply running for the entirety of your fireplace use. 9. Turn gas supply off only after all wood has been burned. PUREBU ^ by MFI - Masonry Fireplace Industries, LLC Modular Pre -Cast Fireplace Systems ,1 1 5 1 5 wl PUREBURN Mason-Lite Pureburn Wood -Burning fireplaces have been tested to the standards under Phase 2 of the EPA Burn Wise program. The Pureburn MFP44 was our first fireplace to pass under these strict standards. Even more impressive is the fact that our unit passed without the use of a catalytic converter, reducing the cost per unit and also saving time and money on installation charges. In addition, units with catalytic converters require mandatory maintenance and/or replacement over the life of the fireplace. With our Pureburn units you are free of any problems associated with catalytic converters. .s Our units surpassed the competition, releasing only 3.96 g/kg of particulates. Our units work through a specially designed burner system that assists the word -burning process with natural gas or propane (BTU's vary by model). With the assistance of our burnerystem your masonry fireplace will burn cleaner than ever before.

Thank you for choosing us. You may have thought long and hard before you chose the fireplace which would grace your home. Rest assured that every component of the Fireplace has been tested to ensure long-term durability. Product Overview Artisan Series Fireplaces are designed as factory -built blocks to be assembled on -site. These fireplaces may be installed on either combustible or non-combustible floors. In order for the fireplace to be installed on a combustible floor though, it is necessary that the fireplace be supported on a platform or sub -floor that is non-combustible. The Four Components of the Artisan Series Fireplace: • Combustible or Non -Combustible Floor Non -Combustible Raised Platform • Artisan Series Firebox and Smoke Dome • UL103 class A listed chimney system required. Important: Follow the chimney pipe manufacturer's instructions on the installation of their specific flue system. Careful step-by-step instructions for each phase of the installation procedure will be given for the Artisan Series conventional radiant heat fireplaces. Those instructions generally fall into the following categories: • Spacing and clearance as it relates to combustible materials. • Familiarity of installation for all components. • The strength of the floor on which it rests. • Chimney system measurements. • Choice of materials and craftsmanship in fireplace and hearth finishing. Figure 16 - Typical Installations Internal Wall Corner Installation Installation Flush Full Installation Projection Installation F Note that each of these topics will be covered in detail and that the installer is expected to understand each phase completely before going on to subsequent instructions. Attention: Be advised that all the illustrations in this manual are for general reference only. Do not scale drawings. Actual design elements will vary from case to case. Pay attention to specified minimum clearances to combustibles. Testing and listing for these Artisan Series Fireplaces has been undertaken by PFS, Inc. Attention: You may need a residential building permit to install a Artisan Series Fireplace. Consult local murisdictions before you get started! If asked, advise the local authorities that the Artisan Series Fireplace is designed for installation per the National Fire Protection Association Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel -Burning Appliances (NFPA211). When choosing the location of yourArtisan Series Fireplace, keep in mind you must maintain 2" (two inches) minimum clearance from left, right and rear of Fireplace to surrounding structure. Also, when choosing a location, consider outside air requirements to determine if it will be on the left or right side of the Fireplace. In the case of an island installation, outside air accessibility may be obtained through sub flooring. See section on Installing Outside Air on page 28. 14 The distance to be maintained from the surfaces of the fireplace to combustibles must be observed. Below is a list of the most common combustible materials to name a few: Drywall Wood flooring Plywood Sub -flooring Wood Framing Particle board Mill board Plywood paneling Maintain the following clearances: • Unit sides, rear, Dome sides, rear & top: 2" (51 mm) • Combustible Floors (AS-33,39,44,49): 6" (152 mm) • Combustible Floors (AS-63 only): 8" (203 mm) • Combustible Sheathing above opening top: 18" (203 mm) • Sheathing or trim to opening sides: 8" (203 mm) • Mantel above opening: (see Fig.17) • Opening to sidewall: 24" (609 mm) • Hearth extension beyond front: 20" (508 mm) • Hearth extension beyond sides: 12" (305 mm) • Insulation from firebox: 2" (51 mm) Fi ure 17 MANTEL d SAFE ZONE FOR PROJECTION OF 2i COMBUSTIBLE 20" 18" 16 MATERIAL NON -COMBUSTIBLE - •p�• ONLY ZONE 1. LINTEL 10, f FRONT w r d. TOP OF FIREPLACE OPENING Understanding Clearance to Combustibles There is a build-up of a considerable amount of radiant heat on the outer surfaces of the Artisan Series Fireplace. It's critical that proper clearances to combustibles be maintained so that this radiant heat is maintained to safe limits. These Artisan Series Fireplaces have been designed with clearance to combustible floors as indicated in Page 18. Cover any part of the combustible floor system left exposed with 1" (one inch) thick ceramic fiber insulation rated up to 2,100' F. Attention: It is critical to abide by the clearances listed in this manual for all components specified as it allows for movement of hot air from the fireplace into interior areas of the chimney chase. Also, be certain that the chimney system be installed as stated below. Prior to starting the installation, check with local, regional or state codes for any restrictions or required permits regarding your fireplace installation. 1) The Artisan Series is designed to be installed with a listed UL103 - Class A, Metal Chimney System. 2) This Artisan Series fireplace is intended as a supplemental heat source only. It is not intended as a primary heat source. 3) It is the responsibility of the contractor installer (not the manufacturer) to ensure that adequate combustion air is provided for proper function of this fireplace. Fireplaces take up a large volume of replacement air from outside the house and if the house is of airtight construction, smoke spillage may occur if proper draft is not achieved. 4) There are many conditions beyond the manufacturer's control regarding improper fireplace operation. The manufacturer cannot ensure "smoke free" operation, nor can the manufacturer take on the responsibility for problems with surrounding construction; chimneys that have not been built at the correct heights; system drafts caused by faulty mechanical systems; adverse weather conditions or any other environmental situations over which the manufacturer has no control. 5) Inspect all fireplace & chimney components for evidence of damage prior to starting installation. Consult your local distributor for replacement parts if necessary. 6) Under no circumstances should you make any adjustments or modifications to the chimney system during the installation procedure. If you do, you are not only liable for negating the warranty, but you could very well cause a serious malfunction of the fireplace. You must follow these chimney instructions. 7) Caution is urged if it is decided to add insulation material to any part of the Artisan Series Fireplace or Chimney system, be certain that the insulation material is kept at least 2" (two inches) away from any part of the system. When using insulation or vapor barrier materials, cover with a layer of plywood, particle board or gypsum board to maintain the specified 2" (two inch) clearance. 8) Air spaces around firebox must remain open. DO NOT fill these open spaces with insulation or packing material of any kind. When installed, the maximum overall height of the chimney system from bottom of fireplace to the top/termination chimney is 40 feet. The minimum installed height of the completed Chimney System is 14 feet with a straight flue stack, 17 feet if the chimney includes one or two offset sections. 15 It is the ultimate responsibility of the installer to ensure that proper concrete slab supports are used. WARNING to the licensed design professional and/or building contractor: It is your responsibility to be certain that the Artisan Series can be properly supported by the combustible floor system on which the fireplace will rest. For fireplace support foundations installed on concrete refer to Appendix I and II (pages 31 & 32) for specific instructions. Rebar locations Lay -out the position of the fireplace and drill holes where the rebar will be located. Secure the #3 rebar 4 inches into the concrete foundation with ITW Epoxy or Simpson Epoxy. Follow manufacturer's instructions for installation of rebar into slab. Wood Floor Anchorage of fireplace to wood floor construction is required. Refer to Figure 21 for anchorage dimensions. Four anchors are required to attach to the sub -flooring framing. Crawl Space or Upper Floor: For installation of firebox over combustible crawl spaces or upper floors, anchorage of the firebox is required. Illustrations of examples of possible anchorage methods are shown in Figures 18 thru 20 depending upon the type of floor framing. Final method of anchorage is to be determined by licensed design professional. For conventional framing, where the floor joists are parallel with the sides of the firebox, the addition of floorjoists to align with the anchor brackets allows the brackets to be directly connected to the floor joists. Note that additional floor joists may be required to support the weight of the firebox and chimney. Where the floor joists run parallel to the front of the firebox, anchorage can be accomplished in like manner as shown in Figure 18 using blocking between the floor joist. For floors supported by I -Joists, the method of anchorage is illustrated in Figures 19 and 20. Figure 23 illustrates the general arrangement of anchorage to floor framing. It is important to take into consideration that the load for the Artisan Series Fireplace must be considered as additional dead load that will have to be supported by the floor framing. Additional floorjoists or I joists may be required as determined by the licensed design professional. The dead weights for the fireplace are noted in Table I. It is the task and responsibility of the general contractor/installer to see that the proper reinforcement for weight loads are made by a licensed design professional prior to the fireplace installation. As stated above, it is desirable to place additional framing for alignment of anchor rods. Refer to Figure 21 for anchor rod locations. Attach the firebox side wall anchors to steel support frame by inserting all -thread rods through holes on the bottom flange on the steel support frame as shown in Figure 24 and 25. Secure with two 0 2" o.d. x 0 9/16" W. x 0.10" Washers and two 1/2"-13 UNC Nuts.

You will need a thin -set type mortar for bonding. The parts of the fireplace are made of Artisan Series's incredibly strong blend of specialty cement and a light weight aggregate. IMPORTANT! When applying mortar, it is imperative that the concrete blocks be maintained moist (not soaking) so they don't absorb the water out of the mortar and cause adhesion to fail. Frequently run a damp sponge to the parts before mortar is applied! The installation of an anchor plate/damper is required but not supplied. You may purchase it from any chimney manufacturer or Capo Fireside. Also, an optional combustion air inlet AS-4- AK can be obtained from Capo Fireside. Refractory Firebrick Liners also need to be installed. These should be a minimum of 1-1/8" (one and one -eight inches) thick. The liner will be applied within the walls and hearth area of the firebox. These are available from Capo Fireside. See page 27. Tools needed for installations: • One 4' level • Roto-hammer with %" drill bit (needed for concrete slab install only) • Drill motor with mixer blade (to mix Artisan Series Mortar) • Two empty 5 gallon buckets (to mix Artisan Series Mortar) • One wheelbarrow and shovel to mix concrete. • Grout bag • Triangular masonry trowel • Rubber hammer • Sponge and water bucket to wipe down and moisten parts prior £o applying mortar.

Field Assembly Procedures a) Mixing the Artisan Series mortar — The mortar comes premixed and should be dry. Be sure to use clean water and work it up into a mixture that is pasty but not lumpy. If it's too thin and the surfaces don't stay moist, the components will not adhere. Load the mixture into a standard grout bag.

ALL UNITS: • Epoxy for securing rebar in footing / foundation. • Three (3) - 90 lb. bags of Ready -Mix Concrete with 1/4" or smaller aggregate. • Artisan Series Mortar (one 50 lb. bag for AS-33/39/44/49 or two 50 lb. bags for AS-63). Apply about %" (one-half inch) thread of mortar. The mortar bead should be approximately'/z" (one-half inch) away from all edges. The mortar has a considerable amount of holding power so do not overload the components with too much mortar. Keep the components moist at all times! Some mortar will "ooze out" when placing components together, this is normal. Wipe excess away with a trowel. Do not cover component surfaces completely with mortar. Do not apply the mortar in thick bands even if the component you are working with is larger than the rest. You will want to apply "stripes" of mortar in these situations. Make sure components are level. It's extremely important that you pay careful attention to how you are assembling the Artisan Series Fireplace since every component builds on the next. If you have to make any kind of an adjustment, do not try to do it "by loading an opening" with mortar, this will only result in a fireplace that will not be plumb or level. Use wood shims instead. You will find these small wood shims supplied with the Artisan Series Fireplace and you can nudge them in between openings to achieve the precision you need in making component adjustments. Once you have removed any shims, you will want to cover any gaps that may have resulted with the mortar. 19 Assembly Instructions 1. Place the Artisan Series Fireplace hearth base on top of your non-combustible floor or metal base. For concrete slabs, supporting floor needs to be rated at ASTM 90. 2. a) Combustible Floor Installations: Mix up a batch of mortar and adhere hearth slabs to the cement board (see Figure 25). All -thread rods should stick up through the holes on the hearth slabs. b) Non-combustible Floor Installations: Draw an outline of the hearth area based on the dimensions shown in pages 8 and 9. Position Hearth slabs and mark rebar center locations. Drill 4 inches into concrete slab and secure the 8 pieces of 12 inch rebar with epoxy.

Finally, set the Dome Top (AS-63-9) into position. Be sure that it is flush in every direction as you place it on the crest of the smoke dome wall assembly. Note that the chimney hole on the Dome Top is not centered from front to back - it should be offset closest to the rear of the fireplace. (see Figure 52). Figure 52 Center of 016" chimney hole is offset towards the rear. 10" 12-1 /2" AS-63 39. Now that you have completed the smoke dome assembly, all the components should stack up for a smooth transition into the flue components. Setting the smoke dome completes the Artisan Series Firebox and Smoke Dome assembly. You are now ready to begin the installation of the necessary fire brick lining and the flue components. WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS. 40. For use of Masonry Chimney sections on the Artisan Series fireplaces, please see Masonry Chimney instructions located online at www. com Figure 53 Artisan Series Masonry Chimney sections All -thread through Dome Top Check with local codes for use of Masonry Chimney in our area - restrictions may apply. 25 All chimney systems must be installed with an integrated Damper System /Anchor Plate installed on or in the fireplace. Installers are cautioned to put the chimney system together exactly as instructed and shown in chimney manufacturer's guide. Any variations may have serious consequences resulting in an accident or malfunction. If instructions are not followed, the warranty on the product will become null and void. If installing a Damper/Anchor Plate Combination see steps 41 thru 44 41. Apply a 1/4" bead of gasket cement around the base of the Anchor Plate as shown in Figure 54.

If installing a Damper Plate only, as shown in Figure 56 (not supplied), refer to accompanying instructions and use an Optional Damper Support Kit obtainable from Capo Fireside. An Anchor Plate will still be required for metal flue connection. If using Masonry Chimney consult your local codes. Figure 56 I Optional Damper Plate (by others) Optional Damper Support Sides —\ Optional Damper Support Rear -- Attention: Clearance to combustible construction cannot be reduced during course of construction. For the safe operation of the finished fireplace, these clearances must be followed when building the framework for the chimney system. Note that the most important aspect of the installation is maintaining the minimum required clearances to combustible materials according to the chimney pipe manufacturer's recommendations, otherwise a potential fire hazard may occur. Warning: do not interchange chimney manufacturer's parts with any other parts except those specifically required by the chimney manufacturer's recommendations otherwise a potential hazardous condition may be created. Attention: When choosing a Chimney System it must meet the following requirements: Designed for installation in accordance with the National Fire Protection Standard and UL 103. Meets the requirements of NFPA 211. Designed in accordance with ICC Codes. Assuming you have sections of vertical pipe that are more than 10' (ten feet) measuring between elbows, you must insert — at midpoint — a chimney stabilizer. When installing the stabilizer, pull out the support straps with a good amount of tension and hammer to the frame. Figure 57 Ret/6'Max. V Elb Offset j rn Elbow w 6' Max.

Custom Firebrick Lining WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE FIREPLACE WITHOUT FIREBRICK LINING. Doing so will void all warranties and may cause a hazardous condition. • Custom Firebrick Lining is not supplied by Capo Fireside. There is, however, the option of Modular Prefabricated Panels that can be obtained from Capo Fireside. See exploded parts page for details. If Custom Firebrick Lining is desired, it is required that the brick be at least 1-1/8" inch thick and must be rated ASTM-C1261. Important: Allow at least 1/4 inch clearance around firebrick hearth to allow for heat expansion otherwise your firebrick may crack (see Figure 60). • The pattern for the firebrick lining is exclusively your choice. Before you install the lining, remember to consider any holes your contractor may need to drill for gas, electrical or combustion air kit access holes. • Please use a certified mason to lay -in the brick. He will follow the proper instructions from the fireplace liner manufacturer and also understand the type of adhesive or cement he is to use. • Make sure the fireplace is installed with the finished firebrick floor of the fireplace so that it is at least 11" (eleven inches) above the combustible floor system. • Disclaimer: Capo Fireside wishes to express that as the manufacturer of Artisan Series Fireplaces, they cannot take any liability or responsibility for the way the firebrick or the firebrick mortar performs. It is not unusual in the course of the life of the firebrick, or the firebrick mortar, for heat stress cracks to appear. Capo Fireside cannot be responsible for this and other wear and tear to the firebrick and mortar.

Next, install the rear and sides last. Consider if brackets for grates will be required also if pre -drilling is required for gaslines, electrical or if the outside combustion air kit is to be installed. The rear Liner Panel is straight from the bottom to the top front edge of the Downdraft Diverter edge. The space behind does not have to be filled (Figure 61). 27 Installing Outside Air I The following Firebrick Patterns are available from Capo Fireside: AS-(XX)SHBL- Herring Bone Figure 62 AS-(XX)FRBL- Running Bond 63 Hearth Material & Dimensions — Strict codes control the types of materials that you can select for your Artisan Series Fireplace's hearth as well as the hearth's length and width. All hearth extensions must be made of code -rated, noncombustible materials such as tile, brick, concrete or stone. As with any radiant heat fireplace, all Artisan Series Fireplaces must comply with building code safety clearances, per units that have openings of 6 sq. ft. (six square feet) or greater. For Mantel clearances see Figure 17. Walls that Adjoin — Safety codes and all practical outlooks insist that your fireplace cannot be installed closer than 2 ft. (two feet) to any walls in the room the fireplace is housed in or to any walls of adjoining rooms. Caution in Regards to Combustibles — If any part of the fireplace or objects in the room (curtains, rugs, paint, cushions, etc.) start to show warping or discoloration due to heat from the fireplace, it is time to take immediate action. Do not use the fireplace until you have figured out how to address the problem. You are facing a potential fire hazard. Capo Fireside cannot be responsible for the make-up of material on the exterior of the fireplace you have chosen, nor can Capo Fireside be held responsible for the materials in a room that may be responding negatively to heat. However, in almost all cases, there is a solution to the problem, either by making adjustments to airflow or the modifications to the room itself. TheArtisan Series Fireplace needs enough replacement airto function properly and some local building codes may require outside combustion air to be provided. If no replacement air is provided, improper flue drafting may occur, creating negative pressure whereby smoke may enter the home, especially in homes that are very well insulated and tightly sealed. Check local building codes for specific requirements. Install Combustion Air Kit AS-4-AK into the Artisan Series Firebox through the side wall opening provided. A 4" dia. hole will also be required through the firebrick side lining (see Figure 64). The tubing that goes out of the firebox wall must feed into a flexible metal conduit as the source for outside combustible air. It can go straight out through an outside wall or into a ventilated crawl space. If crawl space is used, check codes for proper termination. Be sure that you carefully check the source of the outside air before you choose the site for your air intake. You don't want a place where snow will collect, where bushes or trees will be growing or a location that is too close to any other structure. Install a screened termination cap to keep out small animals. '?I:3 OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR KIT (MODEL AS-AK/F) The installation of an outside air kit should be performed during the rough framing of the fireplace due to the nature of it's location. Outside combustion air is accessed through a vented crawl space (AS-4-AKF) or through a sidewall (AS-4-AK). A CAUTION: Combustion air inlet ducts shall not terminate in attic space. The maximum height for the air vent cannot exceed 3 feet below the flue gas outlet of the termination. Figure 65 Secure to Collars with Metal Tape, Screws -or Straps (Min. of 1/4" x 20" in size) Vent Hood Required for Wall Installation - Air Inlet location must allow for bushes or snow Vented Crawl Space - (check local codes before installing in a Vented Crawl Space) CHIMNEY PIPE AWARNING: Label part number 900599-01 must be applied by the installer to all chimney pipe sections but is not required on sections that will be visible after the installation is complete. Label must wrap around the circumference of the pipe. The IHP chimney system consists of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48" snap -lock, double -wall pipe segments, planned for maximum adaptability to individual site requirements. Actual lengths gained after fitting overlaps must be taken into consideration (lineal gain) and are given in the "Lineal Gain" chart. Lineal gain is the actual measurable length of a part after two or more parts are connected. For Canada, use chimney parts designated "HT". A WARNING: The opening in the collar around the chimney atthe top of the fireplace must not be obstructed. Never use blown insulation to fill the chimney enclosure. LINEAL GAIN PART NO.

Figure 66 15" Galvanized Outer Pipe Hemmed End —12 3/8" Stainless Inner Pipe ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM Each double wall chimney section consists of a galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel inner flue pipe and a wire spacer. The pipe sections must be assembled independently as the chimney is installed. When connecting chimney directly to the fireplace, the inner flue pipe section must be installed first with the lanced side up. The outer pipe section can then be installed over the flue pipe section with the hemmed end up. Press down on each pipe section until the lances securely engage the hem on the fireplace starter. The wire will assure the proper spacing between the inner and outer pipe sections. Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above, making sure that both the inner and outer pipe sections are locked together. When installing double wall snap -lock chimney together, it is important to assure the joint between the chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling chimney upward after locking. The chimney will not come apart if properly locked. It is not necessary to add screws to keep the chimney together. The height of a vertical chimney pipe supported ONLY by the fireplace, must not exceeed 20 feet. Chimney heights above 20 feet must be supported. 29 Adding a Gas Pipe EArtisan Series Owner's Operation & Precautions You may elect to add a vented decorative gas appliance (gas log) to your Artisan Series Fireplace. If so, follow the installation instructions from the Decorative Gas Appliance manufacturer. Familiarize yourself with requirements for installation as outlined by the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. This gas pipe provision should only be used on a decorative gas appliance. You can route the gas piping practically anywhere in the firebox — the floor, back wall or side walls. You will just need a masonry drill; the instructions from the gas appliance manufacturer will be very straightforward. Fill in the holes you have drilled around the gas piping with the regular Artisan Series mortar. Follow the Gas Log manufacturer's instructions. Adding Electrical Connections Like the gas line, electrical feed lines can be run through the floor, back wall, or side walls. Follow local building and electrical code requirements. Fireplace Grates and Screens J To complete your fireplace installation, a fireplace grate will be required for safe operation. The fireplace grate can be obtained from Capo Fireside or if choosing an alternate, it must be sized to 50% of the hearth maximum. Additionally. a fireplace screen must be installed for safety. When ordering, please refer to the parts lists in the beginning of this manual. Fireplace Door Accessory IMPORTANT: Only Artisan Series AS-33-GD/ AS-39-GD/ AS- 44GD/ AS-49GD Glass Doors are approved for use with this fireplace. For installation Instructions, see separate instructions included with doors. Installers of the Artisan Series are urged to leave the owner's manual with the unit after installation is complete. WARNING: Do not attempt to operate your fireplace without a fire safety screen installed. CAUTION: The manufacturer cautions against using chemical chimney cleaners. Never use charcoal or coal in the fireplace under any circumstances. First Lighting of the Artisan Series — After construction is completed, all elements of the fireplace and chimney system must be completely dry. This means that the unit must stand without any firing for a minimum of 28 days. Only after that period of time can a first lighting take place. The first fire must be small and well -controlled, started with a small amount of kindling. Add no more than eight pounds of wood, preferably small logs not more than 3" (three inches) in diameter. You will probably burn no more than three to four of these small logs. Do not let the fire burn for more than one hour. After this first lighting — when the fireplace has started to "cure" Do not set another fire for at least 24 hours. Second Lighting — Start the fire slowly and gradually as you did with the first lighting, but this time you can burn up to ten pounds of firewood, probably four to five logs that are 3" (three inches) in diameter. With the second lighting you can let the fire burn two hours — no more. After First and Second Lighting — When the fireplace has been properly cured with 1st and 2nd lighting, you will be able to add a full fuel load to the Artisan Series which is about 10 to 15 pounds of firewood at any given time. Consider that this typical fuel load is three to four dry hardwood logs that are about 6" (six inches) to 8" (eight inches) in diameter. Without a grate for your firewood to rest on, you cannot get the air flow you need under the fire which makes for a hotter, more satisfying fire. Don't"overburn"—Always remember, yourArtisan Series Fireplace is an elegant addition to your home. It is not an indoor incinerator! If you start to use the fireplace and begin a routine of "over burning," you can permanently and unalterably damage the unit. Under no circumstances should you be burning household trash, including chemicals and combustibles, cardboard boxes, your office papers, scrap lumber or stray branches from your yard, particularly pine. WARNING: Burning of above mentioned materials will cause an unsafe condition and will void your warranty! 01 SURFACE CRACKS IMPORTANT. DO NOT BURN A FIRE WITHOUT FIREBRICK LINER. (see Page 27 for details) Before starting a fire in your fireplace, open the damper to its' fully open position. Crumple some paper and place it on the log grate. Use some soft, dry wood as kindling and put it on top of the paper. Place some small logs or split logs atop the paper and kindling. Top your fuel load with a couple of hardwood logs or split logs (Oak or Hickory). Make sure you stack the logs so they fall inside the grate as they burn. Note: To get the most out of your wood, it is recommended that you let it set and completely dry out for nine months to a year. When you are satisfied with the arrangement of your wood load, light the paper which in turn will ignite the kindling, then the softer wood and finally, the harder wood logs. As the fire burns, you can carefully lay additional logs on the flame, but make sure you place them gently without forcing them into the opening. Your fireplace and chimney require seasonal and monthly maintenance. It is recommended that inspection of the fireplace and chimney take place on a monthly basis during the heating season. Start at the top, looking for birds' nests, leaves or any other obstructions. Also check the spark arrestor, for creosote or soot build-up. A Professional Chimney Sweep may be hired to clean the firebox and chimney at least twice a year. If doing it yourself, use a plastic, wood or steel brush for the inside of the chimney. For the spark arrestor, scrub with a wire brush. To dismantle the chimney cap for cleaning of the flue, unscrew the four screws that hold it in place. For cleaning access from below, open the damper in the firebox. It is best to use a flexible handle chimney cleaning brush made especially for the job. If your fireplace system has any offset chimney sections, start cleaning with the flexible brush from the top of the section downward to the elbow. Then clean from the firebox up to the offset/return section. Make sure to cover the floor of the fireplace and out to the hearth with a damp sheet that has been taped securely in place. When all the soot has settled, remove the sheet and vacuum up. Don't sweep the excess soot! Never use any chemical cleaners when cleaning the chimney system since their residue may cause a fire hazard. During heating season as you conduct your monthly inspection of the firebox and chimney, be sure to also check the outside of the chimney, metal flashing and weather seals that surround it. If you find any cracks or openings around screws or nails, seal them to avoid any roof or chimney chase leaks. Artisan Series fireplaces are manufactured using high quality materials. During the drying process though, surface cracking may occur. These small cracks (under 1/16" will not affect the fireplace safety or performance). During the assembly process, fill surface cracks with thin -set mortar and brush when drying for a smooth surface finish. REMOVAL OF CREOSOTE AND SOOT FORMATION Creosote vapors are known to form in the relatively cool chimney flues of slow burning fires, hence, creosote residue collects on the flue lining. Because of soot and creosote build-up, it is recommended that the fireplace and chimney cleaning be done twice a year. In colder climates, cleaning should be done more often. Before performing maintenace on your fireplace make sure you shut off gas and electrical connections and allow the fireplace to cool completely. Use only solid fuel in your fireplace. You may use a natural or LP gas log lighter as a method to start your wood fire. The Chimney Damper must be in the OPEN position whenever there is heat in the fireplace.
