- Page 10 Dutchwest Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Clearances As with any solid fuel heating stove, extremely high surface temperatures can occur, particularly in the event of uncontrolled operation, e.g. if the doors are inadvertently left open. It is crucial that suf- ficient clearances are allowed to any combustible surfaces, e.g.

Page 13: Operation
Heater Controls and Features Air Control The Dutchwest Convection Heater Model 2477CE has a control that regulates the amount of air drawn into the stove. Generally, more air entering the stove allows the fire to burn hotter and faster, while less air decreases heat output and prolongs the overall burn time. - Page 14 Dutchwest Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Damper Function The Damper is operated by moving the handle on the upper left side of the stove. (Fig. 22) It has two positions: OPEN, to start the fire and load fuel, and CLOSED, for greatest efficiency and heat. When the damper is closed, exhaust gases travel through a secondary combustion chamber at the rear of the stove before flowing into the chimney.
- Page 15 Use the Air Control Settings that Work Best for You No single control setting will fit every situation. Each installation will differ depending on the quality of the fuel, the amount of heat desired, and how long you wish the fire to burn. Control settings also depend on your particular instal- lation’s “draft,”...
- Page 16 Dutchwest Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Lighting the Fire Step 1. Open the stove damper. Open the primary air control fully. Step 2. Lay some crumpled newspapers in the stove. Place six or eight finger-width size pieces of dry kin- dling on the paper. On the kindling, lay two or three larger sticks of split dry wood approximately 25-51 mm (1-2”) thick.
- Page 17 Remove Ashes Frequently Wear heavy stove gloves when removing ashes. Check the ash compartment before reloading the stove. If the ash pan is nearly full, empty the pan. Before replacing the ash pan, clear away any ash that may have spilled over the sides and back of the pan.

- Page 20 Dutchwest Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Cleaning the Chimney System The chimney system is composed of the chimney and the pipe that connects the stove to the chimney. Inspect the chimney and chimney connector at least twice monthly, and clean if necessary. When you first begin using the stove, check daily for creosote —...

Page 21: Draft Management
• Inspect for and remove ash build-up behind the com- bustion package. This should be done in conjunction with annual cleaning of the chimney connector since this inspection is most conveniently done through the flue collar opening. Inspect the passages to either side of the combustion package (a mirror will be helpful) and vacuum away ash using a flexible vacu- um hose inserted into each passage. - Page 22 Dutchwest Non-Catalytic Convection Heater if the chimney flue has a cross-sectional volume much larger than the stove outlet. Steel Chimney Most factory-made ‘Class A’ steel chimneys have a layer of insulation around the inner flue. This insulation keeps the smoke warm and protects the surrounding structure from the high flue temperatures.
- Page 23 Creosote Creosote is a by-product of low-temperature stove operation, weak draft, or both. It is a tar that results when unburned gases condense inside the flue sys- tem at temperatures below 143° C (290˚ F). Creosote is volatile and can generate a chimney fire. All of the installation characteristics that adversely affect chimney draft also promote creosote condensation.
