Page 6: Installation
INSTALLATION Installation Overview When choosing a location for your new stove, there are a multitude of factors that should be taken into account before beginning the installation. 1. Traffic Patterns – To help prevent accidents, the stove should be placed in a location where it is out of the way of normal travel through the home. 2. Heat Flow and Efficiency – When deciding on a location for the stove, consider the way heat moves throughout your home. Install the stove where you need the heat; basement installations often do not allow sufficient heat to flow to the upper floors and a top floor installation will not allow any heat to reach the floors below. Always consider that heat rises and will take the path of least resistance while it is still hot. 3. Exhaust Location – The engine which drives a wood stove is the chimney system, so it is important to consider precisely how the chimney system will be integrated into the stove installation. Ideally, a wood stove chimney will run completely vertical from the flue collar of the unit all the way to the termination point above the roof line. Keeping the entire chimney system inside the heated envelope of the home will ensure a strong, easy to initiate draft in the chimney. Although exterior chimney systems often function properly, they are more likely to suffer from cold down drafts at start up or provide weak draft to the unit. Also, consider the cross‐sectional area of the chimney; although existing masonry chimneys can often be used, a large external masonry chimney will result in a unit that is difficult or impossible to operate properly. In that case, an insulated chimney liner will often be required to supply the necessary draft. 4. Wall Construction – Locating the stove so that the exhaust system can pass between studs will simplify the installation and eliminate the need to reframe any sections of the wall or ceiling to accommodate the wall thimble or ceiling box. ... -

Page 16: Floor Protection
FLOOR PROTECTION • This wood stove requires a UL listed type 1 spark and ember floor protector if the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor. If the floor the stove is to be installed on is already non‐combustible (i.e. a concrete floor in a basement), no floor protection is needed (although a decorative floor protector can still be used for aesthetic reasons). • When using any UL listed type 1 spark and ember floor protector, consider that this stove is not only heavy but will induce heating and cooling cycles on the floor protector which can damage tile and loosen mortar and grout joints located near the stove. • The spark and ember floor protector should be UL approved or equivalent (ULC if Canada) and must be noncombustible. Since the majority of the heat from this unit is radiant, the floor protector only serves to keep ashes and sparks from landing on combustible flooring near the unit. A hearth rug is NOT an approved substitute for a proper hearth pad. No R Value is necessary. • For the US: The floor protector must extend at least 16 in. from the front of the fuel opening, 8 in. from the sides of the door opening and 8 in. from the rear of the unit. • For Canada: The floor protector must extend at least 450.0 mm from the front of the fuel opening, 200.0 mm from the sides of the door opening and 200.0 mm from the rear of the unit. 38 ½ in 43 • The spark and ember floor protector must extend 2 in. (50.8 mm.) on either side of any horizontal venting runs and extend directly underneath any vertical venting pipe. CAUTION NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE‐TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IN USE. ... -
Page 17: Operation
OPERATION Break‐In Fires • This wood burning unit is constructed of heavy gauge steel and cast iron and is built to last a long time. However, in order to ensure no excessive thermal stresses are induced on the metal during the first fire, three break‐in fires should be burned, each one slightly hotter than the last. These break‐in fires will not only help the stove body acclimate to the high temperatures of the fire, but will also slowly cure the high temperature stove paint, which will ensure the high quality finish lasts for years. • This stove has a single air control rod which regulates the wood burn rate; when the primary air control slide is pulled all the way out of the unit, the stove will burn more slowly and put out heat over a longer time period. Conversely, when the air control slide is pushed all the way in, the unit will burn more quickly and put out a larger amount of heat over a relatively shorter time period. Do not attempt to modify the range of air control adjustment for any reason. • The first break‐in fire should be just a large kindling fire, getting the stove to about 300°F as measured by a magnetic thermometer on the right or left side of the stove, above the door. Once this temperature has been reached, allow the fire to die out with the air control open. The second and third break‐in fires should be a bit larger, with some small dry splits added to the kindling load. The temperature goal during these fires is about 350°F – 450°F; don’t let the fire get hotter than that. Continuous Operation • After the break‐in fires are complete, this unit is ready for continuous operation. When burning the stove continuously, do not allow ash and coals to accumulate higher than the air hole in the dog box. Excessive coaling is often a result of burning wood at too high a burn rate, and the coal bed should be allowed to burn down before reloading the stove with fresh wood. •... - Page 18 OPERATION • England’s Stove Works, Inc. always recommends the use of a magnetic stove thermometer, so that the temperature of the unit can be monitored. When using a magnetic stove thermometer, locate the thermometer above the door on either the left or right side of the stove and use the following temperatures as rough guidelines to determine the burn rate and heat output level of the stove: o Normal wood stove operation should occur between 350°F (177°C) and 550°F (288°C), with 350°F (177°C) to 450°F (232°C) being a low to medium heat output level and 450°F (232°C) to 550°F (288°C) being a medium to high heat output level. Operating the stove at 600°F (316°C) would be considered the maximum continuous operating temperature permissible and unit damage may result from operating at that high of a burn rate for extended time periods. Allowing the unit to reach 750°F (398°C) or higher is defined as over‐firing and will result in unit damage. • The optional room air convection blower was designed to extract the maximum amount of heat from the stove, for the highest possible heat transfer into the room. Since the blower is so efficient at removing heat from the unit, it is very important to only operate the room air blower after a fresh wood load has been allowed to burn for at least thirty (30) minutes. Allowing a fresh load of wood to burn without the blower on ensures that the entire unit reaches proper operation temperatures and that the secondary combustion system is functioning properly. Additionally, follow the guidelines below for acceptable blower speeds. • When using the optional room air convection blower (Part No. AC‐16, or you can upgrade to the AC‐30), the blower should be operated as follows depending on heat output level: Burn Rate High Medium High Medium Medium Low Blower Speed AC‐16 High...
- Page 19 DO NOT STORE FUEL CLOSER THAN SPECIFIED CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES OR WITHIN THE SPACE NEEDED FOR LOADING THE STOVE AND FOR ASH REMOVAL. OPERATION Additional Safety Guidelines CAUTION: When adding fuel to the stove, the blower must be turned OFF. • The installation of smoke detectors is highly recommended when installing this or any other solid fuel burning appliance. Smoke detectors should be located near or in every room of the home, particularly sleeping rooms. • A smoke detector can be installed in the same room as this cordwood burning unit; installing the smoke detector too close to the unit can lead to nuisance alarms due to slight wisps of smoke emitted during the fire starting or reloading process. Due to this, the smoke detector in the same room as the unit will be most useful if it is located as far from the unit as the room will permit. • This stove is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried, seasoned hardwoods, as compared to soft woods or to green or freshly‐cut hardwoods. DO NOT BURN garbage, lawn clippings or yard waste, materials containing rubber, including tires; Materials containing plastic: Waster petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or asphalt products; Materials containing asbestos; Construction or demolition debris; Railroad ties or pressure‐treated wood; Manure or animal remains; Salt water driftwood or previously salt water saturated materials; Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard. The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire in an affected wood heater. Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke. ...
- Page 20 ultimately, an unrestricted source of outside combustion may be necessary for proper unit function. • If the unit is connected to outside air, be certain to monitor the exterior inlet to the combustion system for icing or snow accumulation. Allowing the outside air connection to become restricted will result in air starvation to the unit. Safe Wood‐Burning Practices Once your wood‐burning appliance is properly installed, follow these guidelines for safe operation: Keep all flammable househould items‐drapes, furniture, newspapers, and books‐ far away from the appliance. Start fires only with newspaper, dry kindling and all natural or organic fire starters. Never start a fire with gasoline, kerosene, or charcoal starter. Do not burn wet or green (unseasoned) logs. Do not use logs made from wax and sawdust in your wood stove‐they are made for open hearth fireplaces. If you use manufactured logs, choose from those made from 100 percent compressed saw dust. Build hot fires. For most appliances, a smoldering fire is not a safe or efficient fire. Keep the doors to your wood‐burning appliance closes unless loading or stoking the live fire. Harmful chemicals, like carbon monoxide, can be released into your home. Regularly remove ashes from your wood‐burning appliance into a metal container with a cover. Store the container of ashes outdoors on a cement or brick slab (not on a wood deck or near wood). See ash removal instructions in your owner’s manual. Keep a fire extinguisher handy. Remember to check your local air quality forecast before you burn. ...

Page 21: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Daily Maintenance • Inspect the firebox for ash accumulation; remove excess ash and follow instructions below regarding disposal. Ash should not be allowed to accumulate in the stove to the point that it covers the dog box hole. Monthly Maintenance • Check the blower for dust accumulation (if installed); check the door handle for proper operation and to be certain an airtight seal is still being made by the door. • Inspect the chimney system and chimney connector and sweep if necessary. Although cleaning may be required less than monthly, ALWAYS inspect the venting system monthly to decrease the chance of a chimney fire. • Visually inspect the ceramic fiber insulating boards in the firebox for cracks and/or breakage. Slight surface cracks will not affect the performance of the boards, but cracked or crumbling boards should be replaced immediately. • Visually inspect the secondary combustion tubes for cracks, warping and corrosion. Although these tubes are constructed from stainless steel, they operate at very high temperatures and can eventually wear out from normal use. Yearly Maintenance • Check all gaskets (window and door) for wear and to be certain they still maintain an airtight seal. See the following page for instructions. • Thoroughly clean the chimney system and the chimney connector system. Since the chimney connector is generally exposed to high exhaust temperatures, inspect it ... -
Page 22: Inspecting Gaskets
MAINTENANCE Inspecting Gaskets An airtight seal at the door opening is crucial to proper stove performance. Any air leakage at this area can cause an over‐fire situation and is therefore a serious safety threat. Because of this, gaskets should always be maintained in good condition. Gasket tightness can be checked using the “dollar‐bill” method: • Place a dollar bill between the gasket and the stove body (at the location where the gasket meets the stove). • Close and tighten the door then attempt to pull the dollar bill out. If the dollar bill slides in and out easily, the gasket needs to be replaced. This test should be repeated around the entire gasket perimeter, as gaskets will sometimes seal tightly on one side, but will be worn and seal poorly on another side. • Perform this test around the entire perimeter of the door, and visually inspect the window gasket for any leaks. Leaks in the window gasket can generally be located by following the prevailing soot trails left on the window after burning the unit. • If any area fails the test, the entire gasket should be replaced. The part number appropriate to the gasket being replaced can be found in the “Illustrated Parts” section of this manual. • Gaskets should only be replaced with equivalent fiberglass gaskets purchased from England’s Stove Works ® specifically for this unit. Gaskets 1. Door ‐ This unit comes with a ¾“ rope gasket around the door that should be replaced at least every year. To replace the door gasket (Part # AC‐DGKHD), the old gasket must ... -

Other Components continued: At this point you can access the primary air control damper assembly, thermostatic actuator assembly and the damper release lever. Although these shouldn’t need to be replaced, they can be easily. The primary air control damper assembly can be replaced by removing the small spring handle from the front of the unit, then sliding the assembly out. Replace by sliding the new assembly through the same hole and the rod through the front of the stove. Replace the spring handle. The thermostatic actuator assembly can be replaced by using a 5/16” socket to remove the two screws that hold the assembly. Install the new assembly using the same two screws. The damper release lever can be replaced by removing the ½” bolt. When reinstalling the damper be sure it is installed the same as when removed. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES Blower: The wood stove was also designed for use with a convection blower for additional heat circulation. The stove is constructed with side convection channels which allow the room air blower to pick up heat from the hottest regions of the stove and transfer it into the home. The mounting screws for the blower are installed into the rear convection channel at the factory; ... - Page 26 Meets the 2015 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s crib wood emission limits for wood heaters sold after May 15, 2015 EPA INFORMATION The following additions to your owner’s manual will enable you to achieve optimal emissions performance from your stove. Important safety tips are also included. ‐ Proper Installation – Please refer to the Installation section of your owner’s manual and follow the guidelines listed therein for safety and for optimal emissions performance. Additional information: Venting Introduction: Draft: Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the catalytic combustor. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney or the catalyst. Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints. An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft. Please be mindful of installation location: Inversion and other air quality issues can arise in valleys or if unit is installed close to neighboring homes. This wood stove operates on a natural draft system, in which the chimney system pulls air through the stove. This unit must be installed in accordance with the following detailed descriptions of venting techniques; not installing the stove in accordance with the details listed here can result in poor stove performance, property damage, bodily injury or death. Avoid make‐shift compromises when installing the venting system. ...
- Page 27 Venting Guidelines: ALWAYS install vent pipe in strict adherence to the instructions and clearances included with your venting system. • DO NOT connect this wood stove to a chimney flue which also serves another appliance. • DO NOT install a flue pipe damper or any other restrictive device in the exhaust venting system of this unit. • USE an approved wall thimble when passing through a wall and a ceiling support/fire stop when passing through a ceiling. • INSTALL three sheet metal screws at every chimney connector joint. • AVOID excessive horizontal runs and elbows, as both will reduce the draft of the venting system and will result in poor stove performance. • INSPECT your venting system often, to be certain it is clear of creosote, fly‐ash and other restrictions. • CLEAN the venting system as detailed in the maintenance section of this manual. • ADHERE to the 10‐3‐2 rule regarding chimney terminations. • INSTALL single wall chimney connector with the male end down to prevent creosote leakage. Follow double wall chimney connector manufacturer’s instructions regarding proper pipe installation. ...
- Page 28 ‐ Fuel Selection: Once your wood‐burning appliance is properly installed, building an effective fire requires good firewood (using the right wood in the right amount) and good fire building practices. The following practical steps will help you obtain the best efficiency from your wood stove or fireplace. Season wood outdoors through the summer for at least 6 months before burning it. Properly seasoned wood is darker, has cracks in the end grain, and sounds hollow when smacked against another piece of wood. Store wood outdoors, stacked neatly off the ground with the top covered. Burn only dry, well‐seasoned wood that has been split properly. Start fires with newspaper and dry kindling as discussed earlier in the manual. Burn hot fires. To maintain proper airflow, regularly remove ashes from your wood‐burning appliance into a metal container with a cover and store outdoors. Moisture Meter Information Firewood is ready at 10‐25% moisture content. Newly‐cut logs can have a moisture content (MC) of 80% or more, depending on species. Since wood shrinks, and can also split, twist or otherwise change shape as it dries, most wood is dried before being used. Air drying, or ‘seasoning,’ is the most common method used for cord wood. In most parts of the United States, the minimum moisture content that can be generally obtained in air drying is about 12 to 15 percent. Most air‐dried material is usually closer to 20 percent moisture content when used To test your firewood, simply push the pins into the wood and wait for a reading. Remember, don't just stick the meter into the ends of your firewood. To get the most accurate reading, split the wood and test the center. The center of the log will contain the most moisture. How Far Should I Drive Non‐Insulated Pins into Wood? To full depth if possible. However, at moisture levels below 10%, it is usually sufficient to make good, positive contact with the wood. At higher levels of moisture and especially if ...
