1.1 EPA Loading Procedure
The best loading method for efficient and clean combustion with this fireplace is the EPA loading method. The images below show the space in the firebox where the logs are to be placed. It is important to always respect this space and not to put logs in the grid area marked with an X.
The marked area is defined by the space between the glass and primary air channel. Leave enough space between the logs for good air circulation. Using more than the usable firebox volume for loading wood will result in poor combustion. The Usable firebox volume of 1.44 ft³ shown below is the one used during EPA emissions certification. The log length recommended for this stove is 16 inches and the EPA testing were done with log length of 16 in. The fuel specie used for the EPA certification was beech.

1.1.1 Air control
The air control is located underneath the ash shelf. To open the air control, pull the air control handle completely toward you (High). This will increase the burn rate. To close the air control, push the air control handle completely. This  will permit to achieve the lowest possible burn rate.

1.1.2 High burn rate (primary air control open )
For Kindling and Start-up fuel configuration refer to the pictures below. Split the start-up fuellog into 6 pieces. Crisscross at 45 degrees the 6 pieces on the brick on 3 rows (From thebottom, first row 2 smallest-second row 2 biggest- third row 2 medium) and leaving some spacebetween each wood pieces. Crisscross at 45 degrees the kindling on the top of the start-up fuelon 3 rows, from biggest to smallest. The kindling is made of between 12-15 small pieces thatare about 10% of moisture content. Place newspaper sheets on top of the kindling. Light up thepaper and let the door at 90 degrees between one minute and one minute and 30 seconds, thenclose the door. Air control is fully open.VENTIS VB00014 Wood Insert - Figure 4

When there are only faint flames remaining and most of the wood is turned into coal, break ashes and level coal bed. Close the door.
Add High Fire load in an East-West configuration. Put 3 first pieces on the coal bed. Leave about 2 inches of air space between the rear firebrick and the first piece. See Figure 11 and 12 for an example of high burn load inside the firebox.  The front (3rd) piece should stand off on the steel andirons by approximately 1-2 inches. The 2 other pieces should be added on top of the first 3, stacked in the middle, in an East-West orientation. Let the door open at 90 degrees between
one minute and one minute and 30 seconds. Close the door, start the blower at maximum speed, and let burn until the weight is down to target.VENTIS
VB00014 Wood Insert - Figure 5

For optimal loading of a high fire, take small to medium size fuel pieces (between 2- and 3-inches cross section dimensions approximately) on the bottom and use medium to large size fuel pieces (3.5 to 4.5 inches of cross section dimensions approximately) on top. To make sure combustion is equal, put the biggest piece on top of the first three, at the front of the firebox. See an example of high burn load in the Figure 13 above.

1.1.3 Low burn rate
After the high fire, if there is visible yellow flame, close the air control. When the charcoal bed weight is between 14 and 17% of the low fire load weight, turn off the blower, open the door, stir the coals slightly, just enough to have a level  plane coal bed, and let the door remain slightly open for 1 minute before loading the low burn test fuel.
For the loading, put 3 first pieces on the coal bed in an East-West orientation. Leave approximately 1 inch of air space between the rear firebrick and the first piece. There should be air space between all pieces. The front (3rd) piece may  contact the steel andirons. The 2 top pieces (fourth and fifth) should be added on top of the first 3, slightly angled (10° from the 3 wood pieces at the bottom). The distance between the logs should be approximately 1 inch. See Figure 14  and 15 for an example of low burn load inside the firebox.
For optimal low fire load, use medium to large size fuel pieces (between 4- and 5.5-inches cross section dimensions approximately) on the bottom and use small to medium size fuel pieces (2.5 to 4 inches cross section dimensions approximately) on top. To make sure combustion is equal, put the smallest piece on top of the first three, at the back of the firebox (see Figure 16 for an example of low burn load).VENTIS VB00014 Wood Insert - Figure
6

Let the door ajar at 90° until the flames roll on top of the fuel (between 2:00 and 4:00 minutes) and then close the door with the primary air control open. See picture below for rolling flame:VENTIS VB00014 Wood Insert -
Figure 7

Close the primary air control by small increments (ex: 1/16 of an inch), from ½’’ to fully closed, between 4 and 15 minutes after the loading period. Before closing further, make sure the flame intensity is increasing or stable. Close the air  control completely. Turn ON the blower at maximum speed.
1.1.4 Medium burn rate
After the high fire, if there is visible yellow flame, close the air control. When the charcoal bed weight is between 14 and 17% of the medium fire load weight, turn off the blower, open the door, stir the coals slightly, just enough to have a  level plane coal bed, and let the door remain slightly open for 1 minute before loading the medium burn test fuel.
For the loading, put 3 first pieces on the coal bed in an East-West orientation. Leave about 1 to 2 inches of air space between the rear firebrick and the first piece. The front (3rd) piece should stand off from the steel andirons by  approximately 1 inch. The 2 top pieces (fourth and fifth) should be added on top of the first 3, slightly angled (10° from horizontal, top view). The distance between the logs should be approximately 1 inch. See Figure 17 and 18 for an  example of medium burn load inside the firebox.
For optimal medium fire load, use medium to large size fuel pieces (between 4- and 5.5-inches cross section dimensions approximately) on the bottom and use small to medium size fuel pieces (2.5 to 4 inches cross section dimensions approximately) on top. To make sure combustion is equal, put the smallest piece on top of the first three, at the back of the firebox (see Figure 19 for an example of medium burn load).
VENTIS VB00014 Wood Insert - Figure 8

Let the door ajar at 90° until the flames roll on top of the fuel (between 2:30 and 5:00) and then close the door with the primary air control open. See picture below for rolling flame:VENTIS VB00014 Wood Insert - Figure
9

Close the primary air control by small increments (ex: 1/16 of an inch) until reaching the midpoint of air control position, between 4 and 15 minutes after the loading period. Before closing further, make sure the flame intensity is increasing or stable.
Turn ON the blower at maximum speed.

3.2 Floor Protection
It is necessary to have a floor protection made of non-combustible materials that meets the measurements specified in the “Table 1 : Floor Protection” below.

VENTIS VB00014 Wood Insert - Figure 11

3.2.1 Installation Raised of 4″ (102 mm) and Less
If non-combustible material floor protection needs to be added in front of and level with the hearth extension of the masonry fireplace (F = 4″ (102 mm) or less), an R-value equal to or greater than 1.00 is required and should extend at  least 22″ (559 mm) in front of the unit (B). Refer to “Additional Floor Protection – Not Raised Installation”

VENTIS VB00014 Wood Insert - Figure 12

3.2.2 Installation Raised of More Than 4″ (102 mm)
If the extension of the masonry hearth is raised at least 4″ (102 mm) from the floor protection, a noncombustible material, without an R-value, must extend at least 16″ (406 mm in USA) or 18″ (457 mm in Canada) in front of the unit (B).  Refer to “Additional Floor Protection – Raised Installation”. VENTIS
VB00014 Wood Insert - Figure 13

3.3 R Value
There are two ways to calculate the R-value of the floor protection. First, by adding the R-values of materials used, or by the conversion if the K factor and thickness of the floor protection are given.
To calculate the total R value from R values of the materials used, simply add the R-values of materials. If the result is equal to or greater than the R-value requirements, the combination is acceptable. R-values of some selected materials  are shown below.

Table 2 : Thermal Characteristics of Common Floor Protection Materials

MATERIAL| CONDUCTIVITY (K)
PER INCH| RESISTANCE (R)
PER INCH THICKNESS
---|---|---
Micore® 160| 0.39| 3.
Micore® 300| 0.49| 2.
Durock®| 2.| 0.52
Hardibacker®| 2.| 0.51
Hardibacker® 500| 2.| 0.44
Wonderboard®| 3.| 0.31
Cement mortar| 5.00| 0.2
Common brick| 5.00| 0.2
Face brick| 9.00| 0.11
Marble| 14.3 – 20.00| 0.07 – 0.05
MATERIAL| CONDUCTIVITY (K)
PER INCH| RESISTANCE (R)
PER INCH THICKNESS
---|---|---
Ceramic tile| 13.| 0.008
Concrete| 1.050| 0.950
Mineral wool insulation| 0.320| 3.120
Limestone| 7.| 0.153
Ceramic board (Fibremax)| 0.450| 2.
Horizontal still air (1/8″ thick)’| 0.135| 0,920**

Exemple:
Required floor protection R of 1.00. Proposed materials: four inches of brick and one inch of Durock® board:
Four inches of brick (R = 4 x 0,2 = 0,8) plus 1 inch of Durock® (R = 1 x 0.52 = 0.52).
0.8 + 0.52 = 1.32.
This R value is larger than the required 1.00 and is therefore acceptable.
In the case of a known K and thickness of alternative materials to be used in combination, convert all K values to R by dividing the thickness of each material by its K value. Add R values of the proposed materials as shown in the previous  example.
Exemple:
K value = 0.75
Thickness = 1
R value = Thickness/K = 1/0.75 = 1.33

Installing Options on Your Product and Replacing Parts

4.1 Replacement and Adjustment
4.1.1 Door
Note: The images shown are for guidance only and may be different from your product, but the assembly remains the same.
In order for the insert to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically to check for a good seal. The tightness of the door seal can be verified by  closing and latching the door on a strip of paper.
The test must be performed all around the door. If the paper slips out easily anywhere, either adjust the door or replace the gasket.

4.1.2 Adjustment
The gasket seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment:

  1. Remove the split pin by pulling and turning it using pliers.
  2. Turn the handle one counterclockwise turn to increase pressure.
  3. Reinstall the split pin with a small hammer.

VENTIS VB00014 Wood Insert - Figure 15

4.1.3 Door Alignment
To align, open the door and loosen the pressures screws located on the lower and upper hinges of the door using a 3/32” Allen key to free the adjustable hinge rods.

VENTIS VB00014 Wood Insert - Figure 16

Using a flat screwdriver, turn the adjustable hinge rods in the direction shown to adjust the doors. Tighten all door hinge pressure screws when they are at the desired positions.
Configurations 1-2-3-4-5-6, show in which direction these act on the adjustment of the door.

VENTIS VB00014 Wood Insert - Figure 17

4.1.4 Gasket
It is important to replace the gasket with another having the same diameter and density to maintain a good seal.

  1. Remove the door and place it face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or a piece of carpet.

  2. Remove the old gasket from the door. Use a screwdriver to scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door gasket groove.

  3. Apply a bead of approximately 3/16″ (5 mm) of high temperature silicone in the door gasket groove. Starting from the middle, hinges side, press the gasket into the groove. The gasket must not be stretched during installation.

  4. Leave about ½″ (10 mm) long of the gasket when cutting and press the end into the groove. Tuck any loose fibers under the gasket and into the silicone.

  5.  Close the door. Do not use the insert for 24 hours.
    4.1.5 Glass Replacement
    The glass used is a ceramic glass, 5/32″ (4 mm) thick,16 5/8″W X 10 3/16″H (422mm x 259mm) tested to reach temperatures up to 1400º F. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced by a ceramic glass from SCHOTT with the same specification. Contact your dealer to obtain a genuine replacement part. Tempered glass or ordinary glass will not withstand the high temperatures of this unit.
    WARNING : DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS WHEN REPLACING THE GLASS.
    To remove or replace the glass (D):

  6. Remove the door from its hinges and lay it on a soft, flat surface.

  7. Remove the screws (A), the glass retainers (B), and the metal frames (C).

  8. Remove the glass (D). If it is damaged install a new one in place. The replacement glass must have a gasket all around (see procedure below).

  9. Reinstall the glass, being careful to centre the glass in the door and not to over-tightening the retaining screw.

The two main causes of broken door glass are uneven placement in the door and overtightening the retaining screws.

4.1.6 Glass Gasket Replacement
The glass gasket is flat, adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass.

  1. Follow the steps of the previous section to remove the glass.

  2. Remove the old gasket and clean the glass thoroughly.

  3. Peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up.

  4. Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of the glass down onto the gasket, taking care that it is perfectly centred on the gasket.

  5. Peel off more of the backing and rotate the glass. The gasket must not be stretched during installation.

  6. Cut the gasket to the required length.

  7. Pinch the gasket onto the glass in a U shape, all around the glass.
    By following these instructions, the edge clearances are maintain.
