2. This unit requires an outside air source for combustion. This should be connected before framing
the unit in.
a) Connect 4" 30 gauge, (or heavier), galvanized pipe to the adapter.
b) Run pipe to the nearest outside wall. Connect sections with metal screws. DO NOT use flex
aluminum outside of the chamber.
NOTE: If the combustion air pipe runs for any length outside of the heat chamber, but inside the house,
wrap it with insulation to eliminate condensation or frost build up.
с) If it is necessary to run the pipe for more than 10' it is recommended that you increase to a 6”
pipe. The maximum length recommended to run the pipe is not more than 26' feet and not more than
three elbows. Duct the shortest possible way. DO NOT terminate in the attic or into a garage. If ducting
beside the chimney chase, terminate the intake air at least three feet below the termination level of the
chimney. The air can also be ducted below the floor level of the fireplace providing it is ducted to the
outside.
NOTE: A closure vent (#940) is available to shut off the air at the outside termination of the intake pipe
from inside the home. When the fireplace is not in use this eliminates any cold air transfer into the home.
We recommend the use of this vent on all Kozy Heat installations.
3. Optional heat outlet ducts may be vented into the same room as the fireplace or may be vented
to other rooms. Venting should be completed before framing the unit in. An optional duct kit is available
from your dealer and includes the necessary adapters and vent grills. A maximum run of 10 is
recommended.
CAUTION: Use ONLY Kozy Heat duct kits #669 or #670. Use ONLY 8" vent pipe, do not reduce the
size. Leave a 2" clearance to combustibles.
CAUTION: Do not terminate the heat register outlet covers below the hot air ductwork outlets to prevent
a heat sink. See Figure 6.

F. FIREPLACE FRAMING & FACING
1. Frame in the fireplace. See Figure 9. Maintain the necessary clearances to combustibles. The
framing materials should not come in actual contact with the fireplace. If installing a mantel, (a combustible
mantel may be used) maintain a 6" clearance to the upper grill if using both hot air ducts and 11" clearance
when no hot air ducts are used. The mantel should be no more than 6" deep.
2. Complete the fireplace front.
NOTE: The fireplace may have an exposed face, or may be covered with a surface material. This
material MUST be non-combustible in nature from the bottom of the unit to 6" above the upper grill. Brick,
tile, marble, or stone may be used. This material MUST NOT come in direct contact with the unit or cracking
of the face materials will occur.
Do not place the facing or other surface materials closer than 3" from the unit door, to allow adequate room
for opening the doors. Allow adequate space from the chimney damper handle to the brick to easily turn
the handle.
CAUTION: If using "thin" brick a non-combustible facing material such as rock board must be used in front
of the unit face. This facing must not be attached to the unit. See Figure 10 for proper cutting diagrams.

This fireplace system uses outside air for combustion. The air is drawn into the unit from outside your
home to provide oxygen for the fire. This eliminates robbing valuable oxygen from your home and
starving other fuel burning appliances of combustion, ventilation, and dilution air.
Kozy Heat's air-seal air tight door system seals the fireplace eliminating heat loss and allowing you to
completely control your fire. This give you maximum heat potential. using a minimum of firewood to
produce this heat. This is accomplished by controlling the burn rate with the inlet air control and the
damper control.
The Kozy Heat fireplace heating system creates heat for your home by a convective air flow through the
heat chamber that is constructed around the fireplace. Room air is drawn in through the lower grill, the
air then circulates upward around the fireplace as heat radiates off the fireplace. This heated air exits
the chamber through the upper grill area back into the room. Air can also be ducted to another room
through the use of the heat duct kit.
An optional blower increases the circulating air flow.
FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL ONLY. Do not use a fireplace insert or other products not specified for
use with this product.
1) Open both dampers counter clockwise until they stop.
NOTE: The combustion air is controlled by the damper control closest to the door level and the exhaust
damper is controlled by the damper control closest to the upper grill.
2) Place two logs (3" to 6" diameter) into the unit with the ends front to back and approximately 12"
of space between them. Crumble a few pieces of newspaper (or use small kindling) and lay it between
the logs. Now lay 2 to 4 pieces of wood (small) across the first two logs (bridging over the kindling.)
NOTE: Build the fire directly on the firebrick. Do not elevate the fire or use a grate.
3) Build the fire no closer than 6" from the front of the unit.
4) Light paper and kindling with matches.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar
liquids to start or freshen up a fire. Keep all such liquids well away from the fireplace while it's in use.
5) Close doors against latch holding open about 1/2".
6) When the fire is buming well on kindling, add larger wood.
NOTE: Slowly load your firebox with average sized split wood. Approximately 40-60 pounds over a
period of one-half hour. DO NOT OVERFIRE, this could damage the unit and void the warranty.
7) Close doors and latch.
Page 15
NOTE: Fireplaces equipped with doors should be operated only with doors fully open or 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.
8) After large logs are buming, close draft and damper to create desired fire level.
a) The chimney damper (top knob) is used to hold heat with the firebox, providing more heat
for your home. When completely closed it will allow a small amount of smoke and gas
to escape. Adjust this knob to the desired setting first. The further closed the damper,
the more heat produced per log.
b) The intake damper (bottom knob) is used to control the burn rate. Adjust this knob to the
desired setting, usually allowing a flame level of about 4” maximum.
с) Each fireplace installation is different. You will need to experiment to determine the best
setting for your fireplace and chimney to achieve the best fire and heat.
NOTE: Your zero clearance fireplace is equipped with a secondary bum chamber providing a cleaner,
more efficient burn. As smoke and gases discharge from the logs, a second air chamber introduces
combustion air and these gases are automatically bummed again, reducing emissions and increasing
efficiency.
9) When adding wood, first open the chimney damper, wait 2 or 3 minutes, then open the doors and
add wood. This will prevent any smoke spillage from entering your home.
10) — Always leave the intake damper slightly open. This will help keep the glass doors cleaner.
11) When disposing of ashes always place ashes 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 the soil or
otherwise locally dispersed, they be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
Precautions
1) Do not burn waste paper.
2) Do not obstruct room air inlet and outlet air grills. This can cause the unit to overheat.
3) Do not store clothing, furniture or combustibles within 36" of the unit.
4) The chimney should be inspected monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote
buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney
fire. We recommend a professional chimney cleaner inspect and clean the chimney at least once
annually.
5) Burn only dry seasoned wood. Extremely hard woods, such as oak or ash can require up to two
years of drying time to be adequately dried.
6) For further information on using your heater safely obtain a copy of the National Fire Protection
Association publication "Using Coal & Wood Stoves Safely." NFPA No. HS-10-1987.
Page 16
Maintenance Requirements
The chimney should be inspected monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has
occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Inspection
can be accomplished from the top of the chimney, or from inside the stove by removing the chimney baffle.
The baffle may be removed by removing the 2 - 1/2" nuts holding it in place. We recommend a professional
chimney cleaner inspect and clean the chimney at least once annually.
Should the glass become discolored with creosote clean on a regular basis. We recommend oven cleaner
or a cleaner specifically designed for fireplace glass.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. Clean only when the glass is cooled.
In the event of glass breakage, due to overfiring or a log falling against the glass, let the unit cool completely.
Do not use the fireplace with broken or cracked glass. Replace only with Kozy Heat part #150375.
To remove broken glass:
1 Open the door and lift off the hinges.
2 Place the door (right side down) on a flat surface.
3. Remove the glass clips and carefully remove the broken pane.
4 Properly discard the broken glass.
Follow the directions included with your replacement glass for proper installation.
