Page 5 *Why is the BTU indicated on the EPA label smaller than the one advertised? You will notice a difference between the BTU output as indicated on the unit’s white EPA label affixed to the glass and the BTU as advertised on our web site and/or product literature. The maximum BTU output we advertise for this unit is what will be obtained with a full load of seasoned cordwood inserted inside the firebox.

Page 10: Installation
REQUIRED POSITIONING THE STOVE It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible.
Page 11: Floor Protector
FLOOR PROTECTOR Your wood stove should be placed on a non-combustible surface with a R value of 1.0. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value. The floor protector should be under the stove, eighteen inches beyond the front and eight inches beyond each side of the fuel loading and ash removal opening.
Page 12: Clearances From Combustibles
CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLES It is of outmost importance that the clearances to combustible materials be scrupulously respected upon installation of the stove you have selected. Refer to the tables below : Model AUSTRAL BALTIC LEGEND MYRIAD • Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7' (84") in all cases.
Page 13: Reduced Clearances
3" (76 mm) between the top of the shield and the ceiling must be respected to allow vertical air circulation behind the shield. The shield must extend 20" (500 mm) above the stove top and 18" (450mm) to each side of the stove (see Graphic 1).

Page 17: Chimney
CHIMNEY Your wood stove may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or ULC S629 standards; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Page 18: Chimney Connector (Stove Pipe)
The stove 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 23: Outside Combustion Air
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR Your DROLET stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake which is necessary for a mobile home. This type of installation is also required in air tight houses and houses with negative pressure problems. You can purchase this option through your DROLET dealer.
Page 24: Woodstove Utilisation
The vast majority of the problems related to the operation of a wood stove are caused by the fact that the wood used was too damp or had dried in poor conditions. These problems can be: •...
Page 25: Testing Your Wood
Make sure that there’s enough air circulation while curing the stove. The odours could be smelled during the 3 or 4 first fires. Never start your stove outside. You will not be able to see if you are over heating. The smoke resulting from the paint curing process is not toxic.
Page 26: Heating
If you push on it until it stops the combustion air is reduced to a minimum. Your DROLET stove burnt between .954 kg\h et 2.556 kg\h. of wood during EPA testing. Real operating conditions may give very different results than those obtained in the lab according to the species of wood used, its moisture content, the size and density of the pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature.
Page 27: Reloading
Then bring the red embers to the front of the stove and reload the unit.
Page 28: Use Of The Bypass Damper
USE OF THE BYPASS DAMPER Your stove is equipped with a bypass damper. This feature should be used, if needed, upon start-up of the stove to help heat-up the chimney faster. The bypass damper should be closed as soon as there is a fire going inside the firebox and smoke is moving upward through the exhaust system.
Page 29: Ash Disposal
ASH DISPOSAL Ashes should be removed from the stove every few days or when ashes get to 2 to 3 inches deep. Always empty the stove when it is cold, such as in the morning. Always dispose of ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Place this container on a non combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
Page 30: Maintenance
Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the stove if the glass is broken. • If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with glazing supplied from the Drolet dealer.
