Need help?Do you have a question about the Superior CPF-38 and is the answer not in the manual?
The all-steel, multi-wall firebox is insulated for safe clearance to combustibles.
The hearth floor has a brick-pattern refractory base; some models include refractory sides and rear.
Metal chimney sections are two-walled and air-cooled, with an inner flue for smoke and gas exit.
The flue damper controls smoke and gas exit. Keep open during fire, closed when fire is out.
Closed screens prevent sparks and embers from escaping the firebox. Pull back when adding wood.
The fuel grate positions the firebed, protects refractories, and ensures combustion air flow. It must be used.
Fireplaces are for architectural and aesthetic purposes, not for heating an entire home.
Never use coal or coal derivative products, as they deposit corrosive materials and cause product failure.
If installing a gas log set, ensure it has an auto shut-off and complies with local codes and standards.
Heat output depends on wood type, dryness, quantity, and log size. Denser woods provide more BTU's.
Place ashes in a metal container with a tight lid, on a non-combustible floor, away from combustibles.
Softwoods burn fast; hardwoods burn slower and steadier. Denser woods offer more heat per pound.
Use dry, seasoned wood. Green wood burns poorly and sparks. Proper storage is essential.
Understand standard cords vs. face cords and how wood density affects heating potential.
Ensure the flue damper is operating correctly before starting a fire.
Center the grate, place crumpled newspaper under it, and criss-cross dry kindling on top.
Build a pyramid of three split logs, allowing ample air space between them.
Light the newspaper at both sides of the firebox to ignite the kindling and logs.
Close the screens to prevent sparks and embers from escaping once the fire is lit.
Close the damper only when the fire is completely out and ashes are cold to prevent air loss.
Clean glass doors when cool, using a damp towel or mild soap solution. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners.
Keep fires within the grate, screens closed, handle doors carefully, avoid extreme temperature changes, and replace chipped glass.
Fireplaces require adequate combustion air. Lack of air can cause smoke spillage into the room.
Describes how to operate the combustion air control lever for CR and Custom Series fireplaces.
Instructions for adjusting the lintel extension on Model CST-38 and CPF-38 fireplaces.
Proper care and 'burn-in' prolongs life. Replace if cracks exceed 1/4" or pitting is extensive.
Clean firebox, keep screens clear, and spot check refractory for small cracks.
Inspect chimney top and flue for obstructions or debris.
Troubleshooting steps for fireplace smoking, including checking damper, air supply, and wood quality.
Illustrates correct chimney height and discusses how installation or nearby structures can cause downdrafts.
Creosote forms from wood vapors and moisture, creating a fire hazard. Inspect and clean chimney twice yearly.
