  • Page 14: Materials

    Materials The body of this stove, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel. Should it ever become necessary many years in the future, almost the entire stove can be recycled into new products, thus eliminating the need to mine new materials. The paint coating on the stove is very thin.

  • Page 15: Emissions And Efficiency

    The success of zone heating will depend on several factors, including the correct sizing and location of the stove, the size, layout and age of your home and your climate zone. Three-season vacation homes can usually be heated with smaller stoves than houses that are heated all winter. Emissions and Efficiency The low smoke emissions produced by the special features inside this stove firebox mean that the household will release up to 90% less smoke into the outside environment than if an older...

  • Page 16: Log Length

    Softer woods make good fuel for mild weather in spring and fall because they light quickly and produce less heat. Softwoods are not as dense as hardwoods so a given volume of wood contains less energy. Using softwoods avoids overheating the house, which can be a common problem with wood heating in moderate weather.
  • Page 17 Firewood with a moisture content between 15% and 20% will allow the stove to produce its highest possible efficiency. Here are some facts to consider in estimating drying time: − Firewood bought from a dealer is rarely dry enough to burn, so it is advisable to buy the wood in spring and dry it yourself;...

    4. Operating the Stove This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual. Before using the stove, the following steps should be completed : •...

    4.2 Blower Operation Ensure the blower cord is not in contact with any surface of the stove to prevent electrical shock or fire damage. Do not run cord beneath the stove. It is possible to install a blower on this stove. The blower is optional and is sold separately.

  • Page 20: Lighting Fires

    Lighting Fires Each person heating with wood develops its own favorite way to light fires. Regardless of the method chosen, the goal should be to have a hot fire burning, quickly. A fire that ignites fast produces less smoke and deposits less creosote in the chimney. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel (naphtha), fuel oil, motor oil, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids or aerosols to start or ‘freshen up’...

    5.2.4 Using Fire Starters Commercial fire starters can be used instead of a newspaper. Some of these starters are made of sawdust and wax and others are made of specialized flammable solid chemicals. Always follow the package directions when using. Gel starters can also be used, but only to light a fire, in a cold combustion chamber without hot embers inside.

  • Page 22: Removing Ashes

    Raking the coals is useful for two reasons. First, it brings them near where most of the combustion air enters the firebox. This will ignite the new load quickly. Secondly, the charcoal will not be smothered by the new load of wood. When the embers are simply spread inside the combustion chamber, the new load smoulder for a long time before igniting.

  • Page 23: Fire Types

    On the other hand, too much air can make the fire uncontrollable, creating very high temperatures in the unit as well as in the chimney and seriously damaging them. A reddish glow on the unit and on the chimney components indicates overheating. Excessive temperatures can cause a chimney fire. Fire Types Using the air intake control is not the only way to match the appliance heat output to the desired temperature in the house.

    The table below gives an approximate maximum burn cycle time, based on firebox volume. Table 1 : Approximate Maximum Burn Cycle Time FIREBOX VOLUME MAXIMUM BURN CYCLE TIME <1.5 cubic feet 3 to 5 hours 1.5 c.f. to 2.0 c.f 5 to 6 hours 2.0 c.f.

  • Page 25: Heater

    Heater 6.1.1 Cleaning and Painting Painted and plated surfaces can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth. If the paint is scratched or damaged, it is possible to repaint the heater with a heat-resistant paint. Do not clean or paint the appliance when it is hot.

  • Page 26: Door

    To remove or replace the glass (D): Remove the door (E) from its hinges and lay it on a soft, flat surface. Remove the eight screws (A), the eight glass retainers (B), and the metal frames (C). Remove the glass (D). If it is damaged install a new one in place.

  • Page 27: Exhaust System

    6.3.1 Adjustment In order for the stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically to check for a good seal. The gasket seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment: Remove the split pin by pulling and turning it using pliers.

  • Page 28: Frequency

    «Creosote - Formation and Need to Removal When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cooler chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.

    PART B - INSTALLATION 7. Safety Information and Standards • The information given on the certification label affixed to the appliance always overrides the information published, in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines and web sites). • Mixing of appliance components from different sources or modifying components may result in hazardous conditions.

    Location of the Certification Label Since the information given on the certification label affixed to the appliance always overrides the information published, in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines and web sites) it is important to refer to it in order to have a safe and compliant installation. In addition, important information about the stove can be found (model, serial number, etc.).

  • Page 39: The Venting System

    9. The Venting System General The venting system, made of the chimney and the connecting pipe between the stove and the chimney, acts as the engine that drives the wood heating system. Even the best stove will not function safely and efficiently if it is not connected to a suitable chimney. The heat in the flue gases that pass from the stove and chimney connector into the chimney is not waste heat.
  • Page 40 9.2.2 Factory-Built Metal Chimneys in Mobile Homes For use in a mobile home, this stove is to be connected to a 6" double wall factory built chimney pipe conforming to ULC-S629 or UL 103HT standards for 650°C Factory-built chimney. The total length of the flue system should be at least 12 feet including elbows, from the top of the stove.

  • Page 41: Minimum Chimney Height

    Minimum Chimney Height The top of the chimney should be tall enough to be above the air turbulence caused when wind blows against the house and its roof. The chimney must extend at least 3 ft. (1 m) above the highest point of contact with the roof, and at least 2 ft.

  • Page 42: Supply Of Combustion Air

    When it is cold outside, the warm air in the house is buoyant so it tends to rise. This creates a slight pressure difference in the house. Called ‘stack effect’, it produces a slightly negative pressure in the lower part of the house (compared to the outside) and a slightly positive pressure zone in the high part of the house.

  • Page 43: Installing The Chimney Connector

    9.5.2 Conventional House The safest and most reliable supply of combustion air for a wood stove is from the room in which it is installed. Room air is already preheated so it will not chill the fire, and its availability is not affected by wind pressures on the house.
  • Page 44 Double wall chimney connectors are tested and certified. The rules for double wall pipe are found in the manufacturer’s installation instructions. These rules will be very different than those for single wall. 9.6.1 Installation of Single Wall Chimney Connector The chimney connector assembly has been called ‘the weak link’ in the safety of wood heating systems because failure to install the connector properly (which has been common in the past) can result in house fires.
  • Page 45 • Galvanized flue pipes must not be used because the coatings vaporize at high temperatures and release dangerous gases. Use black painted flue pipes. • Flue pipes must be at least 24 gauge in thickness. • Flue pipe joints should overlap 1 ¼" (30 mm). •...
