YOU SHOULD BE AWARE, HOWEVER, THAT FAILURE TO INSTALL, OPERATE, AND MAINTAIN THIS OR ANY OTHER FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE PROPERLY CAN RESULT IN A HOUSE FIRE OR OTHER OCCURRENCES THAT COULD CAUSE DEATHS, INJURIES, AND PROPERTY DAMAGES. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE PERSONS INSTALLING AND /OR SUPERVISING THE INSTALLATION OF THIS FIREPLACE HAVE APPROPRIATE SKILLS IN USING THE TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES REQUIRED: AND READING AND COMPREHENSION SKILLS SUFFICIENT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. THESE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAIN WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES TO EMPHASIZE IM- PORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. TO ASSURE. THAT SAFE AND SATISFACTORY SERVICE IS RECEIVED FROM THIS FIREPLACE, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL NOTICES AND ALL THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL. 1. Read these instructions entirely before beginning any part of the installation. Save these instructions for any future repairs. Be sure to read all sections applicable to the type installation you are planning. 2. Use these instructions as a guide during the installation of the fireplace. 3. Be sure these instructions become the property of and are reviewed by all future users of this fireplace to encourage proper operation and maintenance. 4. All the parts used with this fireplace system must be installed in accordance with these installation instructions. Failure to do so may be hazardous and will void the warranty. 5. This fireplace and accessories should not be altered in any way that is not specifically recommended in this manual. 6. Refer to your local building code for local requirements pertaining to the installation of factory-built fireplaces. Martin fire- places are intended for installation and use according to standard NFPA No. 211 of the National Fire Protection Associa- tion. 7. This fireplace must not be installed with a masonry flue. 8. This fireplace and chimney should not be used for venting a wood or coal burning heater or fireplace insert. 9. WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION OR OTHER AAATERIALS. 1 { The instructions contained in this manual provide the information necessary to install this fireplace in accordance with Under- writers Laboratories requirements and in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association Standard No. 211. Some codes may require the fireplace and chimney be electrically grounded. Before beginning the installation, you should check with local building officials to obtain required permits and assure compliance with local regulations and codes. If you encounter problems with code requirements, contact your Martin dealer for assistance. BUILDING CODES AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Caution: Do not install fireplace over carpeting. This fireplace does not require any special foundation. If the fireplace is to be trimmed with large stone or brick facing, an ade- quate foundation is required to support these materials. Use figure 2 & 3 as a guide for selecting a location and determining the space required for the fireplace. The location for the fireplace should be adjacent to a load- bearing wall and away from objects that will create drafts that could disturb the normal flow of air into the fire. Such objects are frequently opened doors and central heat air outlets and returns. See figure 3 which illustrates various types of locations and installations and figures 1 and 4 for additional information concern- ing installation heights, construction details, and methods of installation. A location that requires cutting the least number of joists and rafters for the chimney installation will simplify and reduce installa- tion cost. The opening required for passage of the chimney through the roof, ceilings and floors must be 19 inches square as indicated by figures 5 and 6. The 19 -inch square opening provides for the installation of the model 240A firestop spacer.

The fireplace is designed to sit directly on a combustible floor. The fireplace can also be installed with zero clearance to combustible building materials at the top spacers. Only parts manufactured by Martin Industries and labeled for use with the M36A fireplace should be used in the installation of this fireplace except for special roof flashings that may be fabricated locally. The use of improper parts in the installation can be hazardous and voids the warranty offered by Martin Industries. This fireplace is not designed to burn coal, liquid fuels, gaseous fuels or household refuse. Any attempt to burn these fuels in the fireplace can be hazardous. This fireplace is not designed for installation in a mobile home. WARNING: This fireplace and chimney must not be used for venting a solid fuel heater or fireplace insert unless writ- ten authorization is given by Martin Industries. Failure to heed this warning may cause a fire hazard and will void the Martin warranty. This fireplace is intended for supplemental heating only and is not intended for use as a primary heating system. "USE SOLID WOOD, PLUMBED PROPANE (LP) OR NATURAL GAS FUEL ONLY." "DO NOT USE A FIREPLACE INSERT OR OTHER PRODUCT NOT SPECIFIED FOR USE WITH THIS FIREPLACE." Improper installation or use of this fireplace will void the warranty and can cause: 1. Damage to the fireplace from overheating. 2. Hazardous temperatures to develop on combustible materials adjacent to the fireplace or chimney. 3. The emission of smoke, sparks or hazardous gases into the dwelling. 4. Leakage of rain water into the dwelling. HOW THIS FIREPLACE OPERATES When an OAC4 combustion air assembly and a combustion air duct are attached to the connecting point on the left side of the fireplace, combustion air may enter the firebox through a dampered opening behind the left side panel. This feature is designed for your benefit to reduce the room air used for combustion and to reduce the loss of heat from the room. When the fireplace is in use, this damper should be open. When the fireplace is not in use, the damper should be closed to prevent cold air from en- tering the firebox. The combustion air damper is open when the lever located on the left side of the fireplace opening is up and closed when the lever is down. Outside air for combustion is optional unless required by federal, state or local building codes. See the section of this manual providing the instructions for installation of the combustion air assembly for additional information. To receive the maximum benefit from your outside combustion air, glass doors should be installed. For large fires the maximum heating benefit from the fireplace will be obtained with the doors open due to the high amount of radiant heat being emitted out of the front opening of the fireplace. With a small fire, it is best to operate the fireplace with the doors closed to pre- vent heated room air from escaping up the chimney. The fireplace is also equipped with a flue damper which must be open when the fireplace is in use. The flue damper control han- dle is located at the top front center and just inside the firebox. The flue damper can be locked closed by pushing back and up- ward on the damper handle. When the fireplace is not in use, the damper should be closed to prevent cold air from entering the chimney as well as preventing warm air in the room from escaping up the chimney. The grate included with this fireplace helps to appropriately locate and contain the burning wood.. Failure to use this grate may cause overheating of parts of the fireplace and allow large pieces of burning wood to roll forward out of the firebox. The grate may be removed from the fireplace for ash removal if desired. To do this, lift the rear brick panel up approximately 1 /2 inch and slide the grate forward. After completing your ash removal, lift the rear brick panel up approximately 1/2 inch and slide the grate into place and lower the rear brick panel into place. If the grate becomes warped or damaged. it must be replaced with Martin grate number 023530 WARNING: FIREPLACES EQUIPPED WITH DOORS SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH DOORS FULLY OPEN OR DOORS FULLY CLOSED. IF DOORS ARE LEFT PARTLY OPEN, GAS AND FLAME MAY BE DRAWN OUT OF THE FIREPLACE OPENING, CREATING RISKS OF BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE. All fireplace chimneys are in direct contact with cold air on the exterior of the structure. Consequently, when the fireplace is not in use, cold air can fall down the chimney of the fireplace and cool off the fireplace chase. Therefore, the fireplace chase must be insulated to minimize the risk of cold air infiltration into the home. Even if the fireplace chase is adequately insulated, this cannot completely insure that cold air infiltration into the structure will be eliminated. Cold air infiltration is a possibility with any fireplace or device that freely communicates with the air or the outside of the structure. Today's homes are more energy effi- cient and, therefore, better insulated and tightly constructed. Unfortunately, when air is removed from the house, as by a bath- room fan, or consumed by a furnace, additional air is needed to replace the air consumed. Unless the additional air is supplied, this can cause a negative pressure in the home. When this happens, the house will draw in outside air from the cracks in the windows, down the fireplace flue or other locations of air leakage in the home. Because cold air infiltration may be unavoidable in some structures, Martin Industries is not responsible for heat loss or air infiltration through or around the fireplace. INTENDED PRODUCT USAGE IMPROPER INSTALLATION M36A Since the pitch of the roof influences the opening size required at the roof level, table 1 should be used as a guide for sizing the roof opening. Proper selection of a chimney outlet lo- cation is also important. Objects such as overhanging or nearby trees, adja- cent building or embankments or un- usual roof designs can all create airtur- bulence and interfere with chimney performance and cause the fireplace to spill smoke into the room. A factory-built fireplace, properly in- stalled in a single story wing of a multi- story building as shown by figure 7, may be affected by environmental fac- tors that will cause poor chimney draft and occasional spillage of smoke from the fireplace opening. Although this oc- curs infrequently, location of the fire- place in the preferred location as indi- cated by figure 7 is recommended. FIGURE 5 14 FT. MIN.

This hearth extension may be either minimum 6 inch thick stone or brick as shown by figure 8, a Martin H1652 Hearth Extension Kit, or a locally constructed equivalent has a "K" factor of .43 and at least 1 '2" thick. . The ability of insulating material to retard the transfer of heat may be expressed as either Thermal conductance (C), Thermal Conductivity (K), or Thermal Resistance (R). The mathematical relationship of these values and the formulas for converting one value to another is as follows: C = K divided by the material thickness. (Example C = .43 divided by 1/2(.50) C = .86) K = C multiplied by the material thickness. (Example K = .86 multiplied by 1/2(.50) K =.43) R = The material thickness divided by K (Example R = .50 divided by .43 R = 1.16) With any type hearth extension minor shifting of the supporting floor or expansion and contraction may eventually cause a crack to develop between the hearth extension and the face of the fireplace. To help prevent the crack from developing. the hearth extension material must be firmly fastened in place. Wall ties should be screwed to the face of the fireplace and imbed- ded in the mortar joints of brick. stone. or other non - combustible materials. The metal safety strip packed with the fireplace must be placed beneath the fireplace and extend under the hearth extension or into a mortar joint of the hearth exten- sion as shown by figure 8. In the event a crack does eventually develop. the metal safety strip will serve as a barrier to prevent sparks or embers from falling from the fireplace onto combustible flooring materials. Unpack and check the fireplace and chimney for damage. If any items have been damaged, report this to your Martin dealer. Before beginning the installation, be sure you have the proper parts in sufficient quantity. Refer to figure 9 for proper identifica- tion of parts. M36A 1. Refer to figure 1 for an example of a typical installation of the fireplace components. 2. Be sure the location of the fireplace will provide the required clearances indicated by figures 3, 5, and 6 and the minimum chimney air space clearance to combustibles two inches. 3. Set the fireplace in the desired location and be sure it is securely supported and leveled. Check the face of the fireplace with a carpenter's level and if it is not plumb, correct it by placing shims under the edges of the fireplace. 4. Block in the fireplace to prevent any shifting of the firebox. Secure the fireplace with nails or screws through the brackets located on each side of the fireplace. Do not enclose the fireplace until the combustion air duct and chimney pipes are installed. (See figure 1.) NOTE: Some local codes may require electrically grounding the fireplace and chimney. CHIMNEY INSTALLATION In order to assure safe and satisfactory performance of the fireplace, it is very important to properly install the chimney.

Do not use more than four elbows in the chimney. NOTE: To select the proper chimney height, refer to figure 1. The flue outlet must be a minimum of three feet above the high- est point where the chimney penetrates the roof and a minimum of two feet above all portions of the building within ten feet. (See figure 10.) If the chimney is to include elbows to offset the chimney, refer to the next section of this manual. There must be at least two inches air space clearance between the chimney and combustible materials. 1. Lay out, cut and frame openings through all ceilings and the roof at the point where the chimney will pass through. Unless the chimney is to be offset, the point where the center line of the chimney will pass through the ceiling and roof can be de- termined with a plumb line as shown by figure 11. The fireplace should be located in the planned installation position. After the center line is established and a nail is driven to mark the point, the opening can be cut if you are satisfied with the chim- ney location relative to ceiling and roof joists and /or any other obstructions. The roof opening center line should be marked by driving a nail through the roof from underneath that will penetrate the roof and can be located from the rooftop. If the chimney is to penetrate a pitched roof, the hole in the roof must be rectangular instead of square and should be sized ac- cording to table 1. 2. Install the firestop spacer as required from beneath the ceiling unless the space above is attic space. In an attic, the firestop spacer should be installed at the floor level of the attic (see figure 12). You must have joist or headers on all four sides of the spacer and use a minimum of four 8 penny nails to secure the spacer. 3. Install the "N" series chimney sections by inserting the male end of the flue or least diameter pipe on top of the flue starter and pressing down until the snap locks engage. Next, place the outlet air duct or intermediate diameter pipe directly into the starter section clips and press down until the clips engage. Then, place the female end of the inlet air duct, or the lar- gest diameter pipe, on top of the inlet air starter and press down until the snap lock engage. Continue this process until the chimney is at least six inches above the roof opening on all sides. As the chimney sections are installed, check each joint to make sure it is properly locked to the previous section. If additional strength of the outer pipe joints is desired, you may use two or three sheet metal screws placed through the area where the outer pipes overlap one another. WARNING: When installing these screws do not penetrate the stainless steel flue pipe with either a drill or screw. NOTE: If you intend to have a total fireplace installation of more than 35 feet, you must use chimney support model NCS at or below 35 feet to support the weight of additional chimney pipe. If it is impossible to nail the chimney support to the load bearing framing of the building at the 35 foot level, the chimney support may be installed at a lower level if the height of the chimney above the support does not exceed 35 feet. Effective height of the chimney support is 9 inches. Chimney supports must be in- stalled at 35 foot intervals. To install the chimney support, place the crimped end of the flue and outlet air duct portions into the last section of chimney pipe (see figure 13). Push down until the outside or inlet air duct of the chimney support overlaps and snap locks the chimney sup- port into the chimney section. Nail the support straps tightly to a building frame member or ceiling joist as shown by figure 13. You must use at least two 8 penny nails per strap. CHIMNEY OFFSET INSTALLATION Elbow Installation Requirements The following are important points that should be observed when installing elbows on the M36A fireplace: 1. The support straps of all elbows not installed directly on top of the fireplace should be nailed securely to the surrounding structure. This allows the support straps to carry the weight of the chimney above the elbow and prevents this weight from breaking the elbow or chimney sections apart. (See figure 14.) 2. Elbows should not be used in any combination that will incline the chimney more than 30 degrees from vertical. 3. The limitations on the quantity of elbows per chimney are as follows: If the total height of the fireplace and chimney is -- 14' or more - -two elbows may be used in the chimney. 21' -0" or more - -four elbows may be used in the chimney. 4. The inclined portions of chimneys that pass through living spaces likely to be used for storage should be enclosed to avoid contact with and possible damage to the chimney. The minimum air space of two inches between the chimney and enclos- ing materials must be maintained. Figures 15 and 16 illustrate some ways elbows may be used. 5. The length of the inclined portion of chimney between elbows must not exceed 6 feet when unsupported or 15 feet if the chimney is supported at six foot intervals with some means of support such as metal support straps. 6. When enclosing the elbows and inclined portions of the chimney, enclosing materials must be installed vertically so as to maintain the required two inch minimum air space clearance to the chimney at the extremities of the offset. It is recom- mended that enclosing materials not follow the inclined portions of the chimney. (Refer to figures 15 and 16). Elbow Installation Sequence 1. Determine the location and amount of offset required, then select the combinations of chimney sections and elbows re- quired from Table 2. 2. Install the first NE30 elbow by placing the crimped ends into the mating part of the fireplace or chimney section. Push down until the outside or inlet air duct of the elbow overlaps and the snaps lock the elbow into the fireplace or chimney section. 112 L' i36A Table 1 MINIMUM REQUIRED ROOF OPENING MINIMUM OPENINGS ROOF PITCH "N" SERIES CHIMNEY 0/12. 19x19 1/12 19x19 -1/4 2/12 19x19-1/2 3/12 19x20 4/12 19x20-1/2 5/12 19x21 6/12 19x21 -1/2 7/12 19x22-1/4 8/12 19x23 9/12 19x24 10/12 19x25 11/12 19x26 -1/4 12/12 19x27 FIGURE 11 CENTERLINE OF CHIMNEY PLUMB BOB - ACTUAL CENTERPOINT PLUMB LINE IMAGINARY CENTERPOINT FIGURE 13 OUTER PIPE INNER PIPE FLUE ,1":\‘‘ ray SUPPORT STRAPS FASTEN SECURELY HEADER FIRESTOP CHIMNEY SUPPORT SNAP LOCK CHIMNEY SUPPORT SECURELY TO LOWER PIPES BEFORE FASTENING SUPPORT STRAPS 11 FIGURE 12 INSTALLATION OF FIRESTOP- SPACER AT FLOOR LEVELS INLET AIR PIPE HEADER OUTLET AIR PIPE FLUE PIPE FLOOR JOIST FIRESTOP SPACER CHIMNEY SECTION INSTALLATION OF FIRESTOP- SPACER AT ATTIC LEVEL INLET AIR PIPE FLUE .

The chimney cap extends the flue outlet four inches above the top of the last section of chimney. This should be kept in mind when determining the proper height for the chimney. The chimney should not be extended more than 90 inches above the supporting roof structure without additional support. In the case of an "A" frame type construction or other steep pitch roofs that require more than 90 inches of chimney above the roof, a support should be attached to the chimney at the 90 inch level that is stror.g enough to support a wind Toad of 3-1/8 pounds for each inch the chimney extends above 90 inches. The flue outlet rr.ust be a minimum of three feet above the point where it penetrates the roof as shown by figure 10. CAUTION: Be careful around electrical wires to avoid the electrical shock hazard of contacting the wires with the metal chim- ney components. 1. Extend the regular chimney sections until the top of the chimney is four inches below the total flue height desired. Do not snap the last section of inlet air duct or largest diameter pipe in place until step three is completed. 2. Remove the shingles from around the chimney so that the flashing may be installed, as shown by figure 18 with the upper part of the flashing under the shingles. 3. Set the flashing on the roof and scribe a line around the flashing as described by figure 18, then cut the top off the flashing by cutting 1/4 inch below the scribed line. This should increase the diameter of the flashing outlet sufficiently to allow the flashing to be placed over the chimney. 4. Snap the last section of inlet air duct in place and slide the flashing over the chimney. Adjust the chimney to assure that the proper minimum clearances are maintained. 5. Nail the flashing securely in place. (See figure 19 for identification of the parts required for the installation.) 6. Seal the crack between the top of the flashing and the chimney with mastic. Leave some excess mastic at this area to be used in step eight. NOTE: Use pliers and wear gloves when performing step seven to minimize the danger of cutting your hands on the edge of the storm collar. 7. Place the storm collar around the chimney and put the collar together like a belt in belt loops. Slide the end of the collar under the two loops on the other end with the loops facing up. Overlap the ends of the collar until it is tight aga'.nst the chimney. Bend the free end of the collar back over the loops to hold the storm collar securely together. The excess end of the storm collar may be trimmed off. 8. Slide the storm collar down snugly against the flashing until the excess mastic left in step six is forced up into the crack be- tween the storm collar and the chimney. This should make the joint between the flashing and the chimney watertight. 9. Install the chimney cap by placing the cap into matching parts of the last chimney section as shown by figure 19. Push down until the brackets on the bottom of the chimney cap sits on the chimney pipe. Then punch or drill 1/8 inch diameter holes in the inlet air duct (chimney pipe) where specified on the brackets and fasten it down with the No. 8 screws provided. 5 LIMA 10. Check all the parts of the fireplace, chimney and chimney termination cap to assure that no parts have been damaged or bent during installation and that all parts have been installed properly. NOTE: The metal used for the chimney and chimney cap has a rust protective coating but the cut edges of the parts are not protected. To prevent rusting and rust staining of nearby structures, exposed parts of the chimney and chimney cap should be detergent washed and painted with a galvanize primer paint.

LFSQT SQUARE TERMINATION FOR CHASE INSTALLATION CONTEMPORARY CAP MODEL 985C OR LONG CONTEMPORARY CAP MODEL 985CL APPLY, MASTIC HERE STORM COLLAR FLASHING The proper installation of the LFSQT square termination cap requires the use of the T9 telescope assembly and the 3672A chase cover (flashing) or a locally fabricated chase cover. The chimney should extend to within 10 inches of the chase top. The last section of chimney should be either a two or three foot section to allow for proper installation of the telescope assembly. The 3672A chase cover is 36 inches wide and 72 inches long. This will cover a chase up to 32 inches x 68 inches. Extensions can be soldered to the chase or a chase cover fabricated locally for larger chases. CAUTION: A non - combustible covering must protect all horizontal surfaces of the chase from sparks or embers that may exit the chimney. CAUTION: Be careful around electrical wires to avoid the electrical shock hazard of contacting the wires with the metal chim- ney components. NOTE: When two fireplace chimneys are terminated above the same chase, the centers of the chimney caps should be at least 24 inches apart to help prevent smoke from a fireplace in use from being drawn down the chimney of a fireplace that is not in use. Additional spacing between caps or staggering the height of the caps will further lessen the likelihood of this occurring. LFSQT Installation Procedure: 1. Unpack the LFSQT termination and the appropriate telescope assembly and check for damaged or missing parts. (See figure 20 for an illustration of the component parts). 2. Place the chase cover over the chase so that the opening in the cover is centered over the fireplace chimney. 3. Mark the chase cover around the perimeter of the chase to indicate where it needs to be folded to fit the chase. 4. Cut and fold the chase cover to overlap the sides of the chase approximately 2" and fasten it to the chase securely. 5. Insert the inlet air telescope through the chase cover and into the mating chimney pipe. NOTE: All telescopes must extend a minimum of three inches into the mating chimney pipe to assure adequate allow- ance for contraction or settling of the fireplace and chimney. 6. Set the square termination base over the opening in the chase cover. (Refer to figure 21 for a description of a completed assembly.) 7. Insert the duct telescope down through the hole in the square termination base and into the corresponding duct of the chimney section. Push down on the duct telescope until the flanged end of the telescope rests around the hole in the square termination base. 8. Place the outlet air shield (with outside flanges up) over the four brackets inside the termination base. 9. Slide the flue telescope into the hole in the outlet air shield and into the last section of the chimney flue. Push down on the flue telescope until it enters the flue three inches or more and the flanged end of the telescope rests on the outlet air shield. M36A 10 Place the rain cap over the brackets that protrude through the outlet air shield and push down until the brackets catch in the slots in each corner of the rain cap. 11. Check the position of and make any adjustments necessary to assure that all telescopes are properly installed, all por- tions of the chimney are properly spaced from combustible materials, and the square termination mounting brackets are over the supports beneath the chase cover. 12. Drill 3/32 inch holes through the chase cover and into the chase cover supports to match each of the holes in the termina- tion mounting brackets. 13. Fasten the terminations in place with the screws provided. 14. Seal around the termination support brackets and over the mounting screw heads with caulk or mastic. 15. Caulk all joints in the corners of the chase to prevent leakage of rain into the chase. MODEL 985CL CHIMNEY CAP FOR CHASE INSTALLATION The proper installation of the 985CL chimney cap requires the use of the 3672A chase cover (flashing) that may be purchased from your Martin dealer, or a locally fabricated chase cover. The 3672A cover is 36 inches wide and 72 inches long. This will cover a chase with exterior dimensions up to 32 inches by 68 inches. Extensions can be soldered to the chase cover or a chase cover fabricated locally for larger chases. CAUTION: A non - combustible covering must protect all horizontal surfaces of the chase from sparks or embers that may exit the chimney. The chimney should extend within 10 inches of the chase top. The last section of the chimney should be either a two or three foot section to allow for proper installation of the telescopes included with the chimney cap. CAUTION: Be careful around electrical wires to avoid the electrical shock hazard of contacting the wires with the metal chim- ney components. NOTE: When two fireplace chimneys are terminated above the same chase, the centers of the chimney caps should be at least 24 inches apart to help prevent smoke from a fireplace in use from being drawn down the chimney of a fireplace that is not in use. Additional spacing between caps or staggering the height of the caps will further lessen the likelihood of this occurring. 985CL Installation Procedures: 1. Unpack the 985CL chimney cap and inspect it for damage or missing parts. 2. Place the chase cover over the chase and center the hole in the chase cover over the chimney. 3. Mark the chase cover around the perimeter of the chase to indicate where it needs to be folded to fit the chase. 4. Cut and fold the chase cover to overlap the sides of the chase approximately 2" and fasten it on the chase securely. 5. Insert the inlet air telescope through the chase cover and into the outer pipe of the chimney as shown by figure 22. Push the telescope down until the brackets extending outward from the telescope rest on the chase cover. CAUTION: All telescopes must extend a minimum of three inches into the mating chimney pipe to assure adequate al- lowance for contraction or settling of the fireplace and chimney. 6. Lower the chimney cap into the inlet air telescope and insert the telescopes into the mating pipes of the chimney. (See figure 22.) 7. Slip the chimney cap support brackets over the vertical flange of the chase cover and drill 1/8 inch diameter holes in the chase cover to match the holes in the support brackets. 8. Fasten the rain cap in place with the #8 screws provided. 9. Caulk and seal the joints in the corner of the chase cover required for fitting the cover to the chase to prevent entry of rain into the chase. 10. When the' installation is complete, check and make any required adjustments to assure the required minimum spacing between the chimney and combustible materials is maintained. NOTE: The metal used for the chimney and chimney cap has a rust protective coating but the cut edges of the parts are not protected. To prevent rusting and rust staining of nearby structures, exposed parts of the chimney and chimney cap should be detergent washed and painted with a galvanize primer paint. 17 C^.33A RAIN CAP FLUE TELESCOPE OUTLET AIR SHIELD DUCT TELESCOPE RAIN CAP SUPPORT BRACKETS SCREW (8REQD.)

It is only necessary to supply outside combustion air to one side of the fireplace. Use the model OAC4 combustion air kit. The combustion air damper is open whe the lever located on the left side of the fireplace opening is up and closed when the lever is down. 1. Extremely long runs (25ft. or more) and numerous turns in the duct leading from the fireplace to the combustion air assem- bly should be avoided. These conditions will increase the resistance to the free flow of air through the duct, thus lowering the efficiency of the fireplace. Refer to figure 23 for typical methods of installing the outside air for combustion assemblies. 2. The combustion air assembly should be located at an exterior location which is not likely to be accidentally blocked in any manner. The assembly should be located above the snow line to prevent.blockage by snow accumulation. 3. The combustion air inlet assembly should never be mounted in a garage or storage area where combustible fumes such as gasoline might be drawn into the fireplace. 4. Combustion air can be drawn from the crawl space under a house when an adequate supply of air is provided by open ven- tilation. 5. Do not take combustion air from attic space or garage space. M36A Model OAC4 Combustion Air Assembly 1. Remove the cover cap from the 4 inch outlet opening location on the left outside of the fireplace. Do Not remove the cover if the outside air will not be connected. 2. Fasten the starting collar over the hole on the left side of the fireplace with the four sheet metal screws provided. (Sae fig- ure 24.) 3. Cut a 6 inch diameter opening in the outside wall covering where the OAC4 outside grille is to be located. (See figure 25.) 4. Select and cut a piece of duct of sufficient length to attach to the fireplace and protrude at least three inches beyond the face of the wall to which the OAC4 inlet air box assembly will be attached. The duct may be cut with a standard pocket knife. (Use Martin FP -4 -U duct for maximum efficiency and safety.) Do not use a combustible duct. Always use UL Listed Class 0 or 1 duct material. 5. If the duct is the insulated type, push the insulation back from one end of the duct approximately two inches. (See figure 26.) 6. Slip the exposed end of the duct over the starting collar of the fireplace. 7. Place the duct clamp around the exposed end of the aluminum duct. 8. Slip the band through the housing, then pull the band tight around the duct. 9. Snap the band locking screw down and tighten it with a screwdriver or nutdriver. (See figure 26.) 10. Nail or screw the combustion air assembly to the surface of the wall. NOTE: If the wall covering is brick or stone, use appropriate masonry fasteners. Mount the combustion air assembly with "TOP" upward to prevent rain from entering the assembly. Be sure the 6 inch diameter opening around the air duct is sealed with insulation material to prevent cold air from entering through the wall. If it is necessary to splice the duct, a model 403 duct connector should be installed as described by figure 27.

To reduce these risks to a minimum, the following important notices and instructions should be read and followed carefully: IMPORTANT NOTICES 1. The provision for a gas line is only intended for connection to a decorative gas appliance which has an automatic shutoff device and complies with the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60. If a decorative gas appliance is installed, it should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 CAUTION: "WHEN USING THE DECORATIVE GAS APPLIANCE, THE FIREPLACE DAMPER SHOULD BE SET IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION." 2. An approved gas shut off valve must be located outside the fireplace in an area accessible to the users of the fireplace. 3. All gas piping and fittings must be either steel or malleable iron. 4. Some code authorities prohibit or place restrictions on the use of gas appliances in fireplaces. Check with local code au- thorities before proceeding with the installation. 5. The gas appliance and all connecting gas piping should only be installed by a licensed gas appliance installer. See figure 8 for the gas line opening dimensions on the fireplace. 6. The installer should advise the persons who will use the appliance to set the fireplace damper in the full open position when the appliance is in use. The following instructions only apply to passing the gas line through the fireplace wall. Follow the instructions provided by the appliance manufacturer for attaching the appliance to the gas line, testing, and adjusting it. 1. Locate the dimple (protrusion) on the right or left refractory panel. This is the location of the conduit for the gas line to the fireplace. (Refer to figure 28.) 2. Tap out a round hole in the brick liner with a hammer by tapping lightly on the protrusion on the surface of the brick opposite the round depressed area visible on the back of the brick. 3. Remove two screws that hold the cover plate on the jacket wrap and discard the cover plate. 4. Use a screwdriver or similar tool to push the loose insulation out of the tube between the firebox and the outer jacket of the fireplace. 5. Install the gas pipe through the tube between the firebox and jacket. 6. Attach the gas appliance to the gas pipe according to the appliance makers instructions. 7. Pack the insulation removed in step 4 around the pipe to prevent air flowing through the tube either into or out of the firebox. 8. Be sure the gas is turned off at the appliance, then turn the gas on at the cut off valve and test the gas line connections for leaks with a soapy water solution or a liquid leak detector. DO NOT USE A MATCH OR OTHER FLAME SOURCE TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. If a gas leak is detected, turn the gas off immediately and fix the leak. 9. Proceed with testing the appliance for leaks and adjusting it as required by the appliance manufacturers instructions. 20 M36A ATTACH OUTSIDE AIR STARTING COLLAR TO FIREPLACE STEP NO.

OUTSIDE AIR INLET APPLYING DECORATIVE TRIM TO THE FIREPLACE If the fireplace is to be equipped with glass doors the trim materials must not extend beyond the edges of the firebox opening. The face of your fireplace may be left exposed or trimmed with any noncombustible material such as brick, stone or marble. If a trim is installed, be sure it is fastened snugly to the face of the fireplace. A crack between the trim material and the face of the fireplace could pose a fire hazard and impair the proper operation of the fireplace. (See figure 29.) Blocking the fireplace with framing and attaching the base to the supporting floor will further reduce the possibility of such a crack developing. Wall ties should be fastened to the face of the fireplace with sheet metal screws and placed in the mortar joints of masonry trim. Combustible materials must not be installed below the top spacers of the fireplace or overlap the sides of the fireplace face. Seal the face of the fireplace to the surrounding wall with non - combustible caulk or trim materials to prevent cold air leakage around the fireplace. Be sure to provide the required floor protection as described in a preceeding section of this manual. (See figure 8.)

OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE WARNING: IF A DECORATIVE GAS APPLIANCE IS USED IN THE FIREPLACE THE FIREPLACE DAMPER MUST BE SET IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION. ADVANTAGES OF A WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE A point to consider, especially in these times, is that wood is renewable fuel resource. Coal, oil, and gas, once used, cainot be replaced. But new trees can always be planted to maintain a consistent supply. A further advantage of wood is that it has a low ash content. And the little ash that remains after burning is useful in horse gar- dening as a fertilizer and soil conditioner. These are the practical, ecological advantages of wood as a fuel. Also to be considered is the aesthetic appeal. Most of us con- sider a wood fire with nostalgia. We enjoy the aroma. and find the flickering light of a cozy hearth conducive to a happy remem- brance of things past. WHICH WOODS ARE BEST? Each wood species offers something different in aroma or heat value, and you should consider your needs and desires before building your fire. Softwoods, like pine, spruce, and fir are easy to ignite because they are resinous. However, a fire built entirely of softwoods burns out quickly and requires frequent replenishment. While a softwood fire is not too desirable for a long evening. its fine in the morning when you want quick warmth. or for late evening when you want a fire that will burn out before you go to bed. On occasion when a longer fire is desired. it's best to combine softwoods with the heavier hardwoods such as ash. beech. birch, maple, oak. and hickory. These hardwood species burn less rapidly, with shorter flames, and produce steady, glowing coals. For the most pleasing aroma, you'll want to burn the woods of fruit trees such as apple and cherry, or nut trees such as beech, hickory. and pecan. Such wood is generally more expensive. but a little combined with other woods. goes a long way. Start your fire with a mixture of softwood and hardwood; then add some fruit or nut woods for nostalgic wood aroma. Since most woods will not burn well when freshly cut. the wood you purchase should be reasonably dry. The sizes you buy are dictated by the size of your fireplace. Purchase logs that will fit when laid across your grate, and ask that the larger, heavier logs be split. Kindling should be short. easily -split lengths of softwood. lumber yard or mill scraps. or twigs and branches gathered from your yard. HOW TO BUILD A BETTER FIRE The first three fires should be of moderate size to allow the fireplace to adjust and the bricks to cure before being subjected to larger fires. First. make sure your room is well ventilated, your damper open, and the flue is unobstructed. Then make sure your wood is dry and seasoned. Unseasoned wood burns poorly and coupled with poor ventilation or an obstructed chimney. leads to smoking problems. If your fireplace is equipped with an outside combustion air inlet. open it. NEVER USE GASOLINE. GASOLINE -TYPE LANTERN FUEL. KEROSENE. CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID. OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THIS FIREPLACE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE FIREPLACE WHILE IT IS IN USE. Begin laying your fire by placing two logs on the iron grate or firebasket, and laying the tinder between them. Tinder may be dry scrap paper. twigs. or dry bark. Place above this a small handful of twigs or split softwood kindling. Then place more dry logs over this base. Keep logs close together. since narrow air spaces between them promote better drafts, and heat reflected be- tween adjacent surfaces aids in raising and maintaining combustion temperatures. You'll need a minimum of three logs, and preferably four, to make a good fire. Add kindling and new logs as needed to rekindle a dying fire. New logs should be added at the rear grate after raking the coals toward the front. DO NOT OVERFIRE THE FIRE- PLACE. Overtire conditions may be created by large amounts of kindling, building scraps, or other improper fuels. Ashes, important because they form a bed for glowing coals, should only be left to accumulate within an inch or two o4 the bot- tom of the grate. Excess ashes can be used to check a flaming fire; or to `bank" your fire, cover the logs with ashes. A "banked" fire will hold glowing coals for 8 -10 hours, thereby saving a morning fire for evening use, or vice versa. WOOD VS. FOSSIL FUELS Compared to fossil fuels, a full cord of dry hickory weighs about two tons and is approximately equal in heating value to a ton of hard coal. On a pound for pound basis, heavy hardwoods have about half the heating value of coal. The following tabulation shows the relative densities and heat values of a variety of dry woods. Those toward the top of the list burn longer. Those toward the bottom ignite and burn quicker; therefore, the best fire is a combination of both light and heavy woods. 23 SPECIES DENSITY HEAT VALUE SPECIES DENSITY HEAT VALUE Dogwood .70 -.79 100 -107 Ash .57 -.61 81 -82 Hickory .70 -.74 100 Southern Pine .51 -.60 73 -81 Oak .60 -.73 86- 99 Elm .50 -.59 71 -80 Black Locust .69 -.70 95- 98 Cherry .50 -.52 70 Beech .64 -.66 89- 91 Douglas Fir .45 -.51 64 -69 Hard Maple .58 -.65 83- 88 Spruce .41 -.44 59 Birch .55 -.64 79- 86 Redwood .33 -.40 47 -54 Apple .58 -.62 83- 84 White Pine .35 -.37 50 A FEW WORDS OF CAUTION Beware of burning certain materials in your fireplace. Among these are plastics, poison ivy twigs and stems, and chemically treated woods such as discarded poles and railroad ties. These not only create air pollution, but can induce extreme irritation for some individuals. Use hemlock, spruce, juniper, and other resinous woods with caution. They contain moisture pockets which, upon heating, "pop" with considerable vigor. Always use a firescreen. And always "bank" a fire, or, at least, push all unburned fuel to the rear of the grate before leaving a fire unattended. Do not use this fireplace as an incinerator. Because the termination of the chimney above the roof is exposed to wind and cold and the pressure changes these and other environmental conditions may cause, a sufficient chimney draft may be hard to establish at times. At other times the draft may be sufficiently disrupted to cause smoke to spill from the fireplace opening. If problems with chimney draft occur, help start a chimney draft before you build a fire by holding a piece of burning paper near the flue opening at the top of the firebox to preheat the chimney. If smoke spills from the fireplace opening after the fire is burning, open a window on the up wind side of the house that is far enough away from the fireplace that the wind will not blow across the fireplace opening, push the burning wood as near the back of the fireplace as possible. and if the fireplace is equipped with glass doors. close them. DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN OR PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED, OR SENILE PERSONS ALONE WITH A BURNING FIRE- PLACE. FUEL STORAGE Wood can be dried sufficiently for burning within a few weeks if protected from rain in a low humidity area. It is far better to cut wood and allow it to dry for a year. In all cases, the wood should be stacked so that both ends of the sticks are exposed to the air and protected from rain. The drier the wood, the more usable heat produced by the fire and the less likely rapid accumulation of soot and creosote within the chimney is to occur. See the section of this manual concerning chimney maintenance for inforrna- tion concerning the hazards of soot and creosote accumulation. Small quantities of wood required for fire tending must be kept at least 30 inches from the fireplace. DISPOSAL OF ASHES Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non- combustible floor or on the ground well away from all combustible materials pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have throughly cooled. Ashes should never be placed in a container with combustible materials. FIREPLACE AND CHIIANEY MAINTENANCE CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE: CREOSOTE - Formation and Need for Removal When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow- burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumu- lates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney should be inspected at least twice a year during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has oc- curred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. The chimney cap can be removed for inspection, maintenance and cleaning by removing three screws from the support legs and lifting upward. When the fireplace is first placed in use, inspect the chimney frequently and clean the chimney any time an accumulation 1/8 inch thick or more is observed on the flue walls. The frequency of these inspections can be increased or reduced appropriately after a pattern of accumulation has been established. Please note, however, that changes in the outside environmental condi- tions, such as temperature and humidity, or changes in the operation of the fireplace can lead to rapid buildup of soot and /or creosote. To clean the chimney, obtain the services of a qualified and reputable chimney sweep, or remove the accumulation with brushes on wooden or fiberglass poles. Do not use metal pipes, chains, wires, etc., to clean the chimney because such items can scratch the surface of the stainless steel flue which can shorten the life of the flue and provide a rough surface for soot parti- cles to attach to. 24 M36A Be sure to cover nearby furnishings and arrange some method of catching soot and creosote particles that may fall during the chimney cleaning process. If glass doors are installed on the fireplace, they should be closed. Extra caution must be used to avoid damage to the flue damper during the cleaning process. In addition to checking and cleaning the chimney on a regular basis, be sure to inspect the chimney before starting a fire at the beginning of each heating season. Make sure the chimney is clear from any accumulation of soot, creosote or any other debris, and that all joints are intact. Martin Industries does not recommend chemical cleaners because some may contain elements that corrode the metal parts of the chimney or fireplace. FIREPLACE MAINTENANCE: At the end of each heating season or when the fireplace will not be in use for an extended time, the ashes should be removed and the hearth area should be swept as clean as is practical. The slow absorption of moisture into the ashes over a long period of time could cause a condition which would be corrosive to the metal fireplace parts. At the beginning of each heating season, always operate the flue damper and make sure it has not become stuck from soot, creosote, etc., during the period of inactivity. As you use the fireplace, expansion and contraction will cause minor cracking of the hearth, back, and side refractory mate- rials. This is normal and unavoidable. If the cracks become large enough or parts dislodge and the metal behind the refractory is exposed, the refractory panels should be replaced with new panels that can be obtained from your Martin fireplace dealer.
