2. INSTALLATION When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the Enerzone wood stove is suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in residential installations. The Enerzone wood stove is not intended for installation in a bedroom. In Canada, the CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment and the CSA C22.1 Canadian National Electrical Code are to be followed in the absence of local...
2.1.1 Pedestal or leg kit assembly We suggest assembling the leg kit or pedestal before positioning the stove. See table 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. Note: Parts may vary slightly from one model to another but the assembly procedure remains the same.
Table 2.1.2 Installation of the decorative u-shaped inserts 2.1.3 Door overlay installation In order to complete the assembly of your freestanding Enerzone wood stove, you need to install the door overlay. See table 2.1.3 below for installation instructions: 1- Position the overlay on the door frame and fix it in place from behind using the 4 screws.
2.1.4 Optional air mate installation Most freestanding Enerzone wood stoves can be equipped with an optional air mate. This device accumulates heat and increases the airflow. See below for installation instructions: Remove the 3 screws holding the rear eat shield deflector.
2.3 CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AND FLOOR PROTECTOR To install your appliance correctly, it is extremely important to respect all clearances to any combustibles as indicated on your stove’s certification label. See figure 2.3 to match each letter to a clearance. APPLIANCE CLEARANCES APPLIANCE CLEARANCES (INSTALLATION WITH SINGLE...

Reducing Wall and Ceiling Clearances Safely It is often desirable to reduce the minimum installation clearances by placing the stove closer to walls so the installation takes up less floor space. You can safely reduce the minimum clearances by permanently installing a shield between the stove and combustible material.

3. CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM) 3.1 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. ...
Page 19
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 (USA) or ULCS629 (Canada) standards. It must therefore be a 6” (152 mm) HT Type (2100°F) chimney. It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications.
If an exterior chimney is used, the best results will be obtained by using a connector vertically off the unit to the highest possible point before elbowing off horizontally to the exterior chimney. For efficiency and safety reasons the stove must not be installed with an insulated chimney connected directly to the appliance.

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 ...
3.2.2 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.
3.3 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.
Page 26
FIGURE 3.3 (B) Minimum Slope The assembly should be as short and direct as possible between the stove and chimney (See figure 3.4 (A)). The use of two 45 degree elbows (See figure 3.4 (C)) is often preferable to a single 90 degree elbow (See figure 3.4 (B)) because less turbulence is created in the exhaust flow and they result in less horizontal run.
3.4 DRAFT Your Enerzone stove’s performance will be optimized 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.
3.6 THE ADVANTAGE OF INSTALLING A BLOWER A blower can be installed at the back of your 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.
4. 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 ...
4.1 SAFETY INFORMATION These stoves are designed for the safe operation . Altering or WHEN BURNING WOOD ONLY modifying the unit or installation without proper authorization will void the certification, warranty, and safety listing, and may result in a safety hazard. ...
Fuel for the stove must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustible (heat- sensitive materials). NEVER STORE WOOD IN THE ASH PAN COMPARTMENT. Your Enerzone stove is designed to burn . Do not burn coal, charcoal, or trash in the WOOD ONLY unit.
Decorative fireplaces generally have larger, cooler, and less air-tight fireboxes. Your 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.
4.2.2 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.
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). AUTION DJUSTMENT ANGE HOULD LTERED NCREASED IRING EASON DAMPER OPERATION OPENED CLOSED Figure 4.4 4.5 MAINTAINING THE FIRE Once the wood has been consumed (or partially consumed) and you have obtained a good bed of...
Your 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 is added. Combustion efficiency is largely related to establishing a hot ember bed, and hot firebox temperatures. The quicker the stove and chimney (flue) get up to normal operating temperatures, the better.
5. MAINTENANCE 5.1 CLEANING AND PAINTING YOUR STOVE Clean the stove frequently so that soot, ash, and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean the stove when the unit is hot. Special care must be taken with plated surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance.
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.
If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Call a professional chimney sweep, or go to your local Enerzone dealer, purchase a chimney brush, and have the chimney cleaned.
5.6 BAFFLE INSTALLATION All firebrick and ceramic wool baffles must be properly in place for correct burning operation. Have any damaged firebricks replaced. Check the firebricks annually for damage and replace if they are broken or damaged. See figure 6.6.2 (B) for the firebrick layout. WOOL WEIGHT CERAMIC WOOL VERMICULITE BAFFLE...
