PART A - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Please see Part B for installation instructions.
1 Safety Information
1.1 Summary of Operation and Maintenance Cautions and Warnings
• HOT WHILE IN OPERATION, KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY.
CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS. GLOVES MAY BE NEEDED FOR INSERT
OPERATION.
• USING AN INSERT WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN COMPONENTS, SUCH AS GLASS OR
FIREBRICKS OR BAFFLES MAY PRODUCE AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND MAY DAMAGE
THE INSERT.
• OPEN THE AIR CONTROL FULLY BEFORE OPENING THE LOADING DOOR.
• THIS INSERT IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH THE DOOR OPEN. THE DOOR MAY
BE OPEN ONLY DURING LIGHTING PROCEDURES OR RELOADING. DO NOT LEAVE THE
INSERT UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPENED DURING IGNITION.
ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR AFTER IGNITION.
• NEVER USE GASOLINE, LANTERN FUEL (NAPHTHA), FUEL OIL, MOTOR OIL,
KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO
START A FIRE IN THIS INSERT. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS WELL AWAY
FROM THE INSERT WHILE IT IS IN USE.
• DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN HEATER MINIMUM INSTALLATION CLEARANCES.
• BURN ONLY SEASONED NATURAL FIREWOOD.
• DO NOT BURN:
o GARBAGE OF ANY KIND,
o COAL OR CHARCOAL,
o TREATED, PAINTED OR COATED WOOD,
o PLYWOOD OR PARTICLE BOARD,
o FINE PAPER, COLORED PAPER OR CARDBOARD,
o SALT WATER DRIFTWOOD,
o MANUFACTURED LOGS CONTAINING WAX OR CHEMICAL ADDITIVES,
o RAILROAD TIES OR
o LIQUIDS SUCH AS KEROSCENE OR DIESEL FUEL TO START A FIRE.
• THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
• DO NOT ELEVATE THE FIRE BY MEANS OF GRATES, AND IRONS OR OTHER MEANS.
• SOME JURISDICTIONS IN THE USA REQUIRE A SUPPLY OF OUTDOOR COMBUSTION
AIR FOR THE INSERT. IN CANADA, AN OUTDOOR AIR SUPPLY IS NOT REQUIRED, IF A
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) DETECTOR/ALARM IS LOCATED IN THE ROOM IN WHICH THE
INSERT IS INSTALLED. THE CO
DETECTOR WILL PROVIDES WARNING IF FOR ANY
REASON THE WOOD INSERT FAILS TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY. IF YOU ARE REQUIRED
TO INSTALL AN OUTDOOR AIR SUPPLY, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU ALSO INSTALL A
CO DETECTOR/ALARM TO PROVIDE WARNING IF SMOKE SPILLAGE FROM THE INSERT
OCCURS.

2.3 Zone Heating and How to Make it Work for You
Your new HEI150 wood insert is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area
it is installed in, as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature.
This is called zone heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces
within homes.
Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular
space within a home, such as a basement family room or an addition that lacks another heat
source.
Although the insert may be able to heat the main living areas of your house to an adequate
temperature, we strongly recommend that you also have a conventional oil, gas or electric
heating system to provide backup heating.
Your success with zone heating will depend on several factors, including the correct sizing
and location of the insert, the size, layout and age of your home and your climate zone.
Three-season vacation homes can usually be heated with smaller inserts than houses that
are heated all winter.
