In addition to the national installation and/or local building codes, fire officials (or other authorities having jurisdiction) should be contacted to determine what restrictions and installation requirements might apply locally. Only Solution 1.6 and Solution 1.8 models are mobile home approved. Refer to the mobile home installation section for details. GENERAL INSTALLATION CAUTION: •...
1.1.1 Pedestal or leg kit assembly We suggest assembling the leg kit or pedestal before positioning the stove. See table 1.1.1 below: 1- Unscrew the 4 bolts in order to remove the 2 steel supports. Dispose of the two steel supports. They are no longer required.
1.1.2 Installation of the decorative u-shaped inserts Your freestanding Enerzone wood stove is equipped with decorative u-shaped inserts. See table 1.1.2 below for installation instructions : 1- Remove the 7 screws that retain the side panels and the rear heat shield deflector.
1.1.3 Door overlay installation In order to complete the assembly of your freestanding Enerzone wood stove, you need to install the door overlay. See table 1.1.3 below for installation instructions : 1- Position the overlay on the door frame and fix it in place from behind using the 4 screws.
1.1.4 Optional air mate installation Most freestanding Enerzone wood stoves can be equipped with an optional air mate. This device accumulates heat and increases the air flow. See tale1.1.4 below for installation instructions : 1- Remove the 3 screws holding the rear eat shield deflector.
1.3.1 Reduced clearances using shielding You may decrease the minimum clearances to combustible materials by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. Those heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and must be made of a heat-resistant or heat-tolerant material. Consult the table below: Reducing Clearances With Shielding TYPE OF PROTECTION...
FLOOR PROTECTOR If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it must be guarded by a non-combustible material extending at least 18” (300mm) from the front and 8” (200mm) from the sides and the back of the firebox., as shown in Figure 1.4 below.
SECTION 2.0 CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM) DEFINITIONS For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions: • A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimne , which attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house. •...

If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code. It must be lined with fire clay bricks, or clay tiles, sealed together with fire cement, or have a listed solid fuel burning stainless steel liner. Round chimneys are the most efficient.
FIGURE 2.2 Minimum Height of the Chimney 2.2.1 Step by step installation of your factory-built chimney The way to install your chimney may vary from one chimney manufacturer to another. For installation instructions, we advise you to consult your chimney manufacturer whose products are sold at many North American retailers of wood stoves and related heating accessories.

Typical installation through the wall Wall support system If your chimney must rise along an outside wall, you need to connect it to your stove through an adjacent wall. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required : Chimney •...

Typical installation through the ceiling Ceiling support system If your chimney must rise inside the house and go through the ceiling, you need to connect it to your stove at the ceiling level. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required : Chimney •...
2.2.2 Typical installation through an existing masonry chimney You can also install your stove using your existing masonry chimney. To do so, follow the guidelines below. You may want to use a factory-built thimble, on construct your own brick thimble. If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code in your region.
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.
It is recommended to install 5’’ outside air intake in the room where the stove is located or nearby. Solution 1.6 & 1.8 models are mobile home approved. For this type of installation, it’s mandatory to use and install an outside air intake connected directly to the stove.
THE ADVANTAGE OF INSTALLING A BLOWER (FAN) A blower can be installed at the back of your E.P.A Enerzone stove. This option is necessary if you wish to redistribute into a room the heat trapped at the back of your stove. By forcing hot air toward the front, the blower enables you to extend the radiation and convection power of your stove.
SECTION 3.0 OPERATION Keep these instructions for future reference. WARNING: • ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE CSA B365 ( ANSI NFPA TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED AS BREACHING CANADA 211 (USA). • DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE •...
• Do not abuse the unit, either by over firing or by using wood or combustibles with salt content, or harmful chemicals. Misuse is not covered by warranty. • Even though your E.P.A Enerzone has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimise the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft of flame or smoke into the room.
Fuel for the stove must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles (heat sensitive materials). NEVER STORE WOOD IN THE ASH PAN COMPARTMENT. Your E.P.A Enerzone stove is designed to burn . Do not burn coal, charcoal, or trash in WOOD ONLY the unit.
Decorative fireplaces generally have larger, cooler, and less air-tight fireboxes. Your E.P.A Enerzone stove, on the other hand, has a smaller, completely sealed firebox which attains much higher temperatures. It is therefore not designed to support excessive heat caused by the addition of chemicals in manufactured logs.
3.2.2 Simple wood moisture test Add one large piece of wood to the top of an established fire. If it starts to burn on three sides within one minute, it is dry and seasoned and right for burning. If it turns black and starts to burn in about three minutes or more, it is damp.
Intensity Draft Setting Push Control to end of travel. Medium Low Pull Control by 3/8” from closed position. Medium High Pull Control by 3/4” from closed position High Pull Control to end of travel. Table 3.4 Closing the draft control down too soon will lower combustion efficiency, and may result in creosote build-up in the chimney (which could lead to a future chimney fire).
Your E.P.A Enerzone stove will work best if a thick bed of hot embers is maintained in the bottom of the firebox, and a minimum of two large pieces of seasoned fuel are added. Combustion efficiency is largely related to establishing a hot ember bed, and hot firebox temperatures.
If the paint becomes scratched or damaged, it is possible to give your wood stove a brand new look, by repainting it with a 650 C heat resistant paint. For this purpose, simply scrub the surface to be repainted with fine sand paper, clean it properly, and apply thin coats (2) of paint successively.
Carefully clean the gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this purpose, and install the new gasket. Use only the genuine Enerzone gasket. You may light up your stove again approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation.
When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire which could be hazardous. Your E.P.A Enerzone stove has been designed to reduce the amount of creosote produced. Even so, the chimney and any chimney connector should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred.
