  • Page 13: Operation

    Fig. 17 Attach thermostat handle. ST635 Encore The Encore Controls Install thermostat handle Two controls regulate the performance of the Encore: a 2/01 primary air control supplies oxygen for the fire, and a damper directs air flow within the stove to activate and deactivate the catalytic combustor.

  • Page 14: Damper Control

    Encore Woodburning Stove The damper is closed when the handle points forward. Smoke from the fire is directed through the catalytic combustion system where it can be further burned for greater efficiency, before passing up the chimney. When closing the damper, be sure to pull firmly enough to snap it into the locked position.
  • Page 15 Store wood under cover to keep it dry. The longer it is stored, the better heating and fireviewing performance you will enjoy. Even for short-term storage, however, keep wood a safe distance from the heater and keep it out of the areas around the heater used for refueling and ash removal.
  • Page 16 Encore Woodburning Stove High-Efficiency Wood Burning with Catalytic Combustion An Encore leaves the factory with the combustor in- stalled. In the United States, it is against the law to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual, or if the catalytic combustor is deactivated or removed.
  • Page 17 Never use gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, char- coal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire. Keep all such liquids well away from the Encore while it is in use. 3. Light the newspaper and close the door. Gradually build up the fire by adding a few 76-127mm (3-5”) di- ameter splits.

  • Page 19: Draft Management

    Draft Management A stove is part of a system, which includes the chimney, the operator, the fuel, and the home. The other parts of the system will affect how well the stove works. When there is a good match between all the parts, the system works well.
  • Page 20 Encore Woodburning Stove Creosote Creosote is a by-product of slow wood-burning. It’s an organic tar that can condense in the flue if it’s dense in the smoke, and slow-moving, and cools off to less than 143° C (290° F). Condensed creosote is volatile, and can generate chimney fires if it gets hot enough.
