  • Page 12: Chimney Installation

    Chimney Installation CHIMNEY Your wood furnace may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney, matching the diameter of the exhaust. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or CSA-B365 standard; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100°F).

  • Page 13: Masonry Chimney

    MASONRY CHIMNEY Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the furnace is installed and operated. When connecting the furnace through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed as explained in the “Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs”...

  • Page 14: Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs

    COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PASS-THROUGHS Method A. 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent.

  • Page 15: Chimney Connector

    CHIMNEY CONNECTOR Your chimney connector and chimney must have a 6” diameter. If this is not the case, we recommend you contact your dealer in order to insure there will be no problem with the draft. The furnace pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or 0.53 mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.

  • Page 16: Factory Built Chimney

    FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer.

  • Page 17: Do Not Burn

    Wood Heat Utilization The top down method of fire building is recommended for this appliance. After making sure that the stove air intake controls are fully open (open all three air controls to there maximum setting). Place the largest pieces of wood on the bottom, laid in parallel and close together.

  • Page 18: Air Controls

    It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you use DRY WOOD only. The wood should have dried for 9 to 15 months, such that the humidity content (in weight) is reduced below 20% of the weight of the log. It is very important to keep in mind that even if the wood has been cut for one, two or even more years, it is not necessarily dry, if it has been stored in poor conditions.

  • Page 19: Operation

    Operation NOTICE: To minimize the risk of smoke spillage when opening the door with a fire in your furnace, crack the door open no more than 1” and wait for at least 10 seconds before opening it more to allow pressure stabilization inside the furnace.

  • Page 20: Ash Disposal

    OPERATION Controlled combustion is the most efficient technique for wood heating because it enables you to select the type of combustion you want for each given situation. The wood will burn slowly if the wood furnace air intake control’s are adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber to a minimum. On the other hand, wood will burn quickly if the air control’s are adjusted to admit a larger quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber.

  • Page 21: Over Firing

  • Page 22: Maintenance

    Maintenance Your wood furnace is a high efficiency furnace and therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform a visual inspection of the furnace every time it is emptied, in order to insure that no parts have been damaged, in which case repairs must be performed immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe periodically for creosote buildup or obstructions.
