  • Page 8: 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 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 9: Chimney Connector (Stove Pipe)

    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. Your smoke pipe should be assembled in such a way that the male section of the pipe faces down.

  • Page 14: Woodstove Utilisation

    WOODSTOVE UTILISATION Your heating unit was designed to burn wood only; no other materials should be burnt. Wastes and other flammable materials should not be burnt in your wood stove. Any type of wood may be used in your stove, but specific varieties have better energy yields than others.
  • Page 15: Testing Your Wood

    Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 6" in diameter should be split. The wood should not be stored directly on the ground. Air should circulate through the cord. A 24" to 48" air space should be left between each row of logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location possible.

    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.
  • Page 18: Paint

    • N EVERS OPERATE THE STOVE WITHOUT A GASKET OR WITH A BROKEN ONE AMAGE TO THE STOVE OR EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT PAINT Only clean your stove with a dry soft clothe that will not harm the paint finish. If the paint becomes scratched or damaged, it is possible to give your wood stove a brand new look, by repainting it with a 1200 F heat resistant paint.
  • Page 19: Frequently Asked Questions

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT DO THE WORDS “DRAFT” AND “NEGATIVE PRESSURE” MEAN? The word “draft” refers to the hot air movement that circulates in your stove’s exhaust system, moving from the stove to the outside of the house, and carrying with it the combustion residues.
  • Page 20 3- Wind can also be a third cause of negative pressure. When your house is located near a structure which height is superior to your roof’s, wind currents can create an interference with your chimney, leading to negative pressure problems. Drawings #1 to #5 starting on page 18 will help you understand the explanations provided in this section.
  • Page 21 DRAWING #1 DRAWING #1 shows a stove functioning under normal and adequate conditions. Heat rises to the upper floors and the room where the stove is located has an adequate supply of oxygen. The chimney draft is sufficient and the combustion gases are evacuated normally through the exhaust system.
  • Page 22 DRAWING #2 DRAWING #2 shows the effect of a cold chimney. Cold air creates a reverse draft (negative pressure), which causes smoking problems. This phenomenon is amplified by the fact that heat rises, which creates a draft from the basement of the house to the upper floors (“chimney stack effect”).
  • Page 23 DRAWING #3 DRAWING #3 shows the effect of negative pressure caused by an air-moving device inside the house. In the example above, the range hood draws air from inside the house, which is replaced by air coming from the chimney. The result is a smoking problem.
  • Page 24 DRAWING #4 DRAWING #4 shows the negative pressure effect caused by wind, influenced by nearby structures such as a building.
  • Page 25 DRAWING #5 DRAWING #5 shows the negative pressure effect that can be caused by wind, influenced by nearby structures such as a tree.
