  • Page 20: 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 21 CHIMNEY CONNECTOR Your chimney connector (commonly called stove pipe) and chimney must have the same diameter as the  stove’s exhaust outlet. The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum 24‐ gauge thickness (0.021" or 0.53 mm).  It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.    The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney connector:     Your  chimney  connector  should  be  assembled  in  such  a  way  that  the  male  end  (crimped)  faces  down to prevent creosote dripping outside the joints. Attach each of the sections to one another  with  three  equidistant  metal  screws.    Also  use  three  equidistant  metal  screws  to  attach  the  connector to the stove’s exhaust collar.  See Figure 2.3 (A) and Figure 2.3 (B). ...
  • Page 22     FIGURE 2.3 (B) Minimum Slope  The assembly should be as short and direct as possible between the stove and chimney (See figure  2.4  (A)).  The  use  of  two  45  degree  elbows  (See  figure  2.4  (C))  is  often  preferable  to  a  single  90  degree elbow (See figure 2.4 (B)) because less turbulence is created in the exhaust flow and they  result in less horizontal run.      (A)  (B)  (C)  FIGURE 2.4 The use of elbows...

  • Page 23: Chimney Connector (Stove Pipe)

    DRAFT Your E.P.A Drolet stove’s performance will be optimised if it is installed with a chimney (flue) system that provides an adequate draft. The draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up through the chimney and is predominantly affected by the height and diameter of the chimney, as well as the stack temperatures of the stove.

  • Page 27: 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 28: Wood Stove Utilisation

    WOOD STOVE 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 29: 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.

  • Page 30: Heating

    If you push on it until it stops the combustion air is reduced to a minimum. Your DROLET stove burnt between .953 kg\h et 3.639 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, it's moisture content, the size and density of the pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature.

  • Page 31: Reloading

    RELOADING Once you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air controls to maximum a few seconds prior to opening the stove's door. Then proceed by opening the door very slowly; open it one or two inches for 5 to 10 seconds, before opening it completely to increase the draught and thus eliminate the smoke which is stagnant in a state of slow combustion in the stove.

  • Page 32: Ash Disposal

    AMAGE TO THE STOVE AND EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT BLOWER OPERATION If your stove has a fan (Eldorado model) or if you have install an optional blower, allow the stove time to reach its operating temperature (approximately one hour), before starting the blower.

  • Page 33: 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.
