ROOF OUTLET REQUIREMENT
CHIMNEY REQUIREMENT
Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance!
Ergofocus requirement : the floor to top of chimney must be 14 feet minimum (5 m) or 17 feet (5,2 m) for an installation
less than 3 miles from the ocean or if a 30° elbow is necessary). Elbows should not be more inclined than 30°(USA) or 45°
(Canada) from vertical, and with maximum number of 2. Maximum inside + outside height : 30 feet.
The ergofocus must be connected to a chimney complying with the requirements for Type HT chimneys in the standard for
Chimneys, Factorybuilt, Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance, UL 103. For example, a class A insulated stainless
steel flue chimney system with an 8-inch minimum inside diameter.

Specifications
STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENT
CAUTION
The support of the anchor plate (roof structure, slab, etc.) Must be sized in congruence with the fireplace static and
dynamic charges. The size calculation for the support is not the responsibility of focus or its affiliates. It is your
responsibility to consult with an engineer or architect for your project.
CONNECTOR
Connectors are all non-insulated chimney parts including focus flue, focus 8’’ universal adaptor and the chimney manufacturer
finishing collar with adapter.
To avoid heat traps the chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or
a floor, or ceiling.
Passage through an attic, roof frame floor, or ceiling must be done using an insulated chimney respecting all chimney
manufacturer clearances.
CAUTION
Passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is not an appropriate installation for this
focus fireplace.
Refractory compound must be used to seal each connection.
FRESH AIR INTAKE
For optimum functioning, focus recommends a fresh air intake in the room (ideally under of the fire). We recommend
deflect-O A0684 semi rigid aluminium duct.
Minimum fresh air intake size:
This fresh air intake is compulsory
when operating venting appliances
such as kitchen hoods, permanent
air extractors or any appliances
creating an air depression in the
habitation.

Operating instructions
CAUTION
Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
STORAGE / USE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or « freshen up » a fire
in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
GRATE
The cast-iron grate is located inside the fireplace. It must not be removed except for cleaning, once all cinders have thoroughly
cooled. Fire must only be built on the grate.
ASHES
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed 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 soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in
the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
FUEL
CAUTION
Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids such as gasoline, naphtha or engine oil. Do not store the fuel within the
space heater installation clearances or within the space required for refueling and ash removal.
Only burn dry, natural, well-seasoned wood. Wood moisture content should not be more than 20%. We recommend using 2 year
dry stored wood. For the best efficiency use a covered storage.
WARNING
This fireplace has not been tested for use with doors, to reduce the risk of fire injury, do not install doors!
