Safety Instructions
1. Before starting the MAGNUM replace and DM 54
chimney installation, read these installation instructions
carefully to be sure you understand them completely. Failure
to follow them could cause replace malfunction resulting in
serious injury or property damage.
2. Always check local building codes governing replaces
and replace installations. The MAGNUM replace and DM
chimney installation must comply with all local, regional,
state and national codes and regulations.
3. MAGNUM replace and DM 54 chimney systems are
intended for use in any application where a traditional
masonry type replace would apply. The chimney system
must always vent vertically to the outside of the building.
4. Creosote and soot formation and the 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 ue of a slow burning re. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited this
creosote makes an extremely hot re.
Because of creosote and soot buildup it is necessary
to inspect and clean the replace and chimney prior to use
and periodically during the heating season. Cleaning of the
replace and the chimney system should be done annually at
a minimum. In colder climates, chimney cleaning may need
to be done periodically throughout the heating season.
5. Before servicing, allow the replace to cool. Always shut
off any electricity or gas to the replace while working on it.
6. Use only solid fuel or natural or LP gas log sets in this
unit. Do not use articial wax based logs, chemical chimney
cleaners or ame colorants in this replace.
7. Never use gasoline, kerosene, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen
up” a re in this replace. Keep all ammable liquids at a safe
distance from the replace.
8. Always keep the ue damper open when heat is present in
the replace.
9. Do not use a replace insert or any other product not
specied for use with the MAGNUM replace and DM 54
chimney systems unless written authorization is given by
Isokern. Failure to heed this warning may cause a re hazard
and will void the Isokern warranty.
10. This replace is not intended to heat an entire home or
to be used as a primary heat source. It is designed to ensure
homeowner comfort by providing supplemental heat to the
room.
11. Always ensure that an adequate supply of replacement
combustion air from the outside of the house is accessible to
the re to support normal combustion. Fireplaces consume
large volumes of air during the normal ring process.
In the event the home is tightly sealed and has
modern energy efcient features, the optional combustion air
supply kits may not provide all the air required to support
combustion and the proper ow of combustion gases up the
chimney.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any smoking
or related problems that may result from the lack of adequate
air supply owing into the house. It is the responsibility of
the builder/contractor to ensure that adequate air supply has
been provided for the replace.
12. “Smoke free” operation is not warranted nor is the
manufacturer responsible for inadequate system draft caused
by mechanical systems, general construction conditions,
inadequate chimney heights, adverse wind conditions or
any unusual environmental conditions or factors beyond the
manufacturer’s control.
Caution: When used with the MAGNUM replace system,
all gas log sets must be operated with the damper clamped in
the fully open position. This includes unlisted “vent free” log
sets. Only listed “vent free” log sets may be operated with the
damper in the closed position.
13. When in doubt about a component’s usability - has
visible or suspected physical damage - consult your Isokern
distributor or authorized Isokern representative for advice.
