(519) 751-2111. Many owners of SEDORE woodstoves only light their stove on the first cold day of the year. Be- cause of the length of burn of each fill-up, the SEDORE only needs attention morning and night, so you can, if you wish, keep your stove going straight through the winter until it is no longer needed in the late spring. - Page 4 Finally, most owners of SEDORE woodstoves have some form of back-up heat. However, if your SEDORE is centrally located in your home, or if you have devised a system of moving the heated air throughout your home, and if you have purchased the correct size of stove for your home, the SEDORE can become your primary source of heat.

Page 5: Sedore History
This thoughtful design worked amazingly well and before long Ernest had his patents and started producing the Sedore Multi-Fuel/Biomass Stoves. At first the word was spread by mouth – and it still continues that way today! Once someone sees the Sedore burn, they quickly understand that this is a Multi-Fuel/Biomass burning stove that will do the job in REAL winter weather. -

(magnetic) ther- mometer. The Sedore Stove is continuously conditioning the fuel load above the burning portion of the front chamber, which will preheat and dry the fuel above, before it reaches the burning area. - Page 7 The Sedore stove will produce the same amount of heat with one piece of wood, as it will with the firebox filled. When your stack temperature starts to drop off, means it’s time to reload the fuel. The lid can be raised anytime, to top off the fuel load but the following procedures must be fol- lowed carefully.

Page 8: Safety Notices
Be sure to read this entire manual before you install or use your new Sedore woodstove. If the Sedore woodstove is not properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. -

7” in diameter, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black steel. Aluminum and galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use with the the Sedore woodstove. These materials cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire and can give off toxic fumes when heated. - Page 11 It is always best to consult with them prior to the installation. Masonry Chimneys When installing the Sedore woodstove into a masonry chimney you must conform to all of the fol- lowing guidelines: The chimney flue size should not be less than the cross-sectional area of the stove flue collar.
- Page 12 A newly-built chimney must conform to local codes and in their absence must recognize national regulations. When using an existing chimney, it must be inspected by a licensed professional chimney sweep, fire official, or code officer, to ensure that the chimney is in proper working order. No other appliance can be vented into the same flue.
- Page 13 It is important to remember to locate the pass-through at least 18” (457mm) from the ceiling to maintain the proper clearance to combustibles. The space that is cleared of combustible materials must then remain empty. Sheet metal panels can then be used to cover the area. However, when using a panel on both sides of the wall each cover must be installed on non-combustible spacers at least 1”(25,4mm) from the wall.

Page 14: Connecting To Chimney
Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing another appliance of any kind. Prefabricated Chimneys When installing the Sedore woodstove to a prefabricated metal chimney always follow the pipe manufacture’s instructions and be sure to use the components that are required. This usually in- cludes some type of “smoke pipe adapter”... -
Page 15: Clearances To Combustibles
Any carpeting must be removed from under the floor protection. The Sedore woodstove must be installed on a non-combustible surface extending: A minimum of 20 1/2” (520.70mm) in front of the stove, (measured from the legs). And 17 1/8 ” (231.90mm Canada ) on the right, and left side, (measured from the legs), and 8"... - Page 16 Clearances to Walls & Ceilings The following clearances have been tested to ULC standards and are the minimum clearances specifically established for the Sedore stove. Front—48” Back—18” Sides—42” Flue Pipe—18” A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.).

You will discover that you get more creosote when you use in green or wet wood. However, this is not a problem in the SEDORE because as long as you have placed good dry wood on the bot- tom of the fuel load, the rest of the load doesn't matter much because it will dry before it reaches the fire at the bottom. - Page 18 Other Biomass Fuels The SEDORE wood stove will burn other biomass fuels including rice hulls, peanut shells, grass clippings, sawdust, leaves, cherry pits, etc. or any combination of these. Please proceed cau- tiously with these fuels as we do not have enough experience with any of these fuels to provide meaningful guidance.

Page 19: Operation
Operation Before building a fire in your new SEDORE woodstove, please read the following section carefully and completely. This stove is designed to burn the 15 natural products (identified on page 3) only. Wood that has been air-dried for a period of 6 to 14 months will provide the cleanest most efficient heat. - Page 20 Starting and Maintaining a Fire Burn only solid fuel directly on the bottom of the stove, do not elevate the fire in any way (ie. no grate is required). STEP ONE: Mount the Thermometer Place the magnetic thermometer, on the stovepipe 18-24 inches above the top of the stove. The reading on this thermometer will be referred to below as the external stack temperature or just the 'stack temperature'.
- Page 21 The result is a steady even heat that tends itself for anywhere between 10-14 hours on just one fill-up of wood. All the burning in your new SEDORE is being done at the bot- tom of the fuel load.

150-200F. Remember, the only time, with the SEDORE stove that your stovepipes can get hot is if you are giving it too much air for the fuel you are burning, or when you raise the lid. Each time you raise the lid (ie. - Page 23 How and when do I empty the ashes? You will discover your new SEDORE stove produces much less ash than a standard air-tight stove. This is because the smoke and gases are trapped in the front chamber where they are burned, instead of just going up the chimney as in a standard air-tight.
- Page 24 Can I burn green wood? Yes, green and wet wood will burn in the SEDORE stove as long as it is put on top of at least half a load of dry wood (or other dry fuel), as it will dry out before it reaches the bottom.

Page 25: Maintenance
Ash removal will be required periodically depending on how frequently the stove is used. Conven- iently, the Sedore woodstove is equipped with dual ash removal doors for easy ash removal while the stove continues burning without the need for opening the stoves lid. - Page 26 Chimney System The Sedore woodstove is designed to burn cleanly and efficiently when used according to the guidelines in this manual. In order to maintain proper performance, you should inspect the chim- ney and chimney connector at the beginning of each heating season and then, twice per month during the heating season.

Stove Maintenance As with your car, regular maintenance will prolong the life of your stove. The following procedures do not take long and are generally inexpensive, but when performed consistently, will help ensure many years of reliable performance. Gaskets Gasket kits includes all the gasket material necessary to replace the gasket on the stoves lid or ash pan. -

Water Coil The water coil accessory allows you to heat water or glycol in the SEDORE woodstove and may be used for either domestic hot water or radiant heating systems. Thermal-siphoning is recom- mended. Installation by a qualified heating contractor is also recommended. - Page 29 Ideal for air-tight houses with negative pressure problems, the Sedore Air Manifold adapts the air intake of your Sedore Biomass Stove to accept outside air. The Manifold bolts onto the front of the stove. The Sedore Air Manifold accepts standard 4″ vent pipe (not included) from the rear on the stove’s side.
