Planning Your Installation Questions to Ask Local Building Officials A correct installation is critical and imperative for reducing fire hazards and perilous conditions that can arise when wood burning appliances are improperly installed. The installer must follow all of the manufacture’s instructions. The installation of a wood burning appliance must conform to local codes and applicable state and federal requirements.
Clearance from Combustible Walls WARNING: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU OBSERVE THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES. There are listed clearances for your stove which were determined in a laboratory test, using various “classes” of stove pipe or chimney. Minimums are first established for the stove itself and then increased, based on how much heat is transferred by each class of pipe.
Floor Protection This appliance requires a non-combustible floor protection to protect against burning embers. If the floor is to be stone, tile, brick, etc., it must be mortared or grouted to form a continuous, non-combustible surface. If a chimney connector extends horizontally over the floor, protection must cover the floor under the connector and at least 2”...
2. Indirect method: for an appliance not certified for direct connection of outside combustion air, the outside air is ducted to a point no closer than (12 in.) 300 mm from the appliance to avoid an adverse effect on the performance of the appliance.
Types of Chimneys The chimney is a vital part of your woodstove installation. A properly built masonry chimney or a properly installed, fac- tory built chimney will provide a consistent draft under a variety of weather conditions (a smoking woodstove is usually caused by a chimney problem).
Vapor Barrier At Chimney Penetration Install all venting components according to the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions. Ensure that there is an effec- tive vapor barrier at the location where the chimney penetrates the exterior of the structure. This can be accomplished by applying a non-hardening, waterproof sealant to the following components: Around the chimney at the point where the storm collar will meet the chimney, just above the flashing.
Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs NOTES: 1. Connectors to a masonry chimney, except for method B, shall extend in one continuous section through the wall pass-through system and the chimney wall, up to but not past the inner liner face. 2.

Heat Output Model (kW) VESUV ETNA ELBRUS MERU Draft Average (Pa) Note: We reserve the right to make modifications in the interest of technical advances! Room Heating Capacity The room heating capacity has a nominal value of 8 kW and is to be calculated as follows, according to DIN 18 893, for rooms that do not have insulation that complies with the Heat Insulation Ordinance: For favorable heating conditions –...
Acceptable Fuel Acceptable fuel sources are pieces of wood with a length of 30 cm (12”) and a diameter of 10 cm (4”), as well as wood briquettes. Only air-dried wood should be used. The burning of waste materials, in particular synthetic materials, is not permit- ted, according to federal laws regulating emissions.
With newer, well-insulated houses, and particularly with houses using mechanical air circulation, it is important to supply a sufficient amount of fresh air. Models ETNA, VESUV, ELBRUS and MERU have a central air intake that directly supplies sufficient air into the combustion process.
Operating Your Woodstove Etna, Elbrus und Vesuv Regulating the Heat Draft controls to regulate secondary air are located under the door on the right and left sides respectively. Pull the control towards you to open. 1) Secondary Draft Control MERU: The secondary draft control lever regulates the amount of air that is needed to reburn exhaust gases that are produced in the fireplace during the wood burning process.
Door Caution: Use protective glove!!! When adding wood, pull the door handle up. The door can also be opened sideways so that you can clean the glass window. To do this, pull and re- lease the lever on the lower right side. After you have finished, remember to securely lock the door again by pressing it back in.
6.3. Ash Drawer The ashes will fall down into the ash drawer after you pull on the grate lever several times. Do not forget that ashes will remain hot for several days in the ash drawer. Only use sheet metal ash containers to empty ashes out! A fire should never be started in the woodstove if the ash drawer is not in its proper position! Disposal of Ashes - Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a...
After a period of time, as soon as the fire is burning well, it might seem as if the heat output is less. Regulate the burn- ing process first by the amount of wood in the stove. At the same time, the secondary draft can be reduced. The air supply for burning and for heat output is dependent upon the fireplace draft, moisture and size of wood.
Cleaning and Maintenance Very important: All cleaning and maintenance work must only be performed on a completely cooled down fireplace!!! Door Gasket Seal The door is equipped with a special ceramic seal. This prevents an unwanted vacuum exhaust of combustion air. The woodstove can then be regulated with the primary and secondary draft control levers.
Troubleshooting Poor Draft Conditions Is the chimney too short? Is the chimney or flue leaking? Is the flue protruding out from the chimney? Is the door from another fireplace that is connected to the same chimney, open? Woodstove does not give off enough heat Is the room too large? Are there too many ashes on the grate? Is the ash pan full?
