IMPORTANT:
READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING
AND USING THIS FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION CAUTIONS:
Heat Transfer:
A) The heat register outlet covers must not terminate below the hot air ductwork outlets to prevent
a heat sink. See Figure 6.
Chimney:
A) Use only a listed type HT Chimney per UL 103 or ULC S629
B) Do not vent any other appliance through this chimney system.
C) Follow manufacturer's instructions for proper installation of the chimney.
D) Ensure that the chimney brand you purchase is equipped with the corresponding anchor plate for
attachment to the fireplace.
the peak
E) The chimney should be at least 10' tall (above the fireplace) and at least 2' higher than
of the house, or smoke back may occur when the doors are opened.
Cold Air Transfer Areas
A) If this fireplace is installed on an exterior wall it must be insulated just like any other wall in your
home, if it is not, you will have a cold air transfer.
B) Secure combustion air pipes together with screws to prevent them from coming apart and leaking
cold air.
Foundation: |
A) Although no foundation is required for the unit and its metal chimney, the foundation must be
sufficient to carry the weight of the face brick and/or rock front, if used.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Installation and/or repair of this unit should only be done by a qualified installer.
This appliance has been tested to and complies with U.L. Standard 127(7/90) and CAN/ULC-S610-M87.
Installation must conform with local building codes, or in the absence of local building codes, with the

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. À 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 {o 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.
from the unit door, to allow adequate room
CAUTION: If using "thin" brick a non-combustible facing matenal 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.

If installing with an exposed face, or using "thin brick”, place the facing material behind the fireplace face
flange. See Figure 11 for proper clearances. Exposed face installations should now go to Section G.
NOTE: The facing material should overlap the side framing studs approximately 1/4" -3/8" in order for the
outer face of the unit to cover the sheetings edge.
3. Lay the face brick in front of the fireplace (do not tie the brick to the unit).
4. At approximately 11 brick courses high (depending on the brick siz2) lay the optional arched lintel
iron on the brick (do not tie to the fireplace). See Figure 12. |
CAUTION: Do not lay the brick closer than 3" to the doors or it will hinder their opening.
NOTE: If using a straight lintel, the lintel would be placed approximately 13 courses high.
NOTE: A grill extension (part #749) must be used to extend the grill out even with your brickwork. This may
be ordered through your local dealer. —

H. FIREPLACE OPERATION
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 buming 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 bum 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.
How to use your Kozy Heat Zero Clearance Fireplace
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 lantem 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 i'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.
