  • Page 6: Double-Wall Connector

    Dutchwest Do not use galvanized chimney connector; it cannot withstand the high temperatures that can be reached by smoke and exhaust gases and it may release toxic fumes under high heat. Double-Wall Connector Information on assembling and installing double-wall connectors is provided by the manufacturer of the double-wall pipe.

  • Page 7: Freestanding Installations

    Securing the Connector to a Masonry Chimney The Model 2463 may be connected to either a free- standing masonry chimney or a masonry fireplace chimney. Freestanding Installations If the chimney connector must pass through a combus- tible wall to reach the chimney, follow the recommenda- tions in the wall pass-through section that follows.

  • Page 8: Wall Pass-Throughs

    Dutchwest Fireplace Installations - Through the Fireplace The Model 2463 heater may be installed either without legs* as a fireplace insert, or with standard legs at- tached - depending on the safety regulations that apply to your situation, the height of the fireplace opening and your own preference.

  • Page 9: Floor Protection

    Floor Protection Freestanding Installations A constructional hearth should be provided of solid, noncombustible material at least 125 mm thick (which may include the thickness of any solid, noncombustible floor under a hearth) and at least 33” (838 mm) deep by 40” (1016 mm) wide. Note that at these minimum dimensions, the stove will be offset toward the right side of the hearth (as you face it) to maintain proper protec- tion beyond the side loading door.

    The charts and sample installations that follow list all the clearances required for the various installation configurations of Dutchwest Convection Heaters Model 2463.

  • Page 15: Unpack The Parts

    Your convection heater requires some assembly. Follow the directions carefully and refer to the parts diagram at the back of this manual. Unpack the Parts Remove all loose parts from the firebox and the ash pan. Check to make sure all the parts are included and intact.

  • Page 16: Operation

    Dutchwest Heater Controls and Features Air Controls The Dutchwest Convection Heater has two air controls that regulate the amount of air drawn into the stove. Generally, more air entering the stove allows the fire to burn hotter and faster, while less air decreases heat output while prolonging the overall burn time.
  • Page 17 Damper Function The Damper is operated by moving the handle on the upper left side of the stove. (Fig. 23) It has two positions: OPEN, to start the fire and load fuel, and CLOSED, for greatest efficiency and heat. When the damper is closed, exhaust gases pass through an insu- lated catalytic burner before flowing into the chimney.
  • Page 18 The “Inactive”, “Normal”, and “Hot” temperature range demarcations do not have function significance on the Dutchwest Model 2463. Normal operating temperatures will range within 500°F - 700°F from a well-established fire. DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE WITH THE ASH DOOR OPEN.

  • Page 19: Lighting The Fire

    Break-in Fires If your stove is new or has new cast iron replacement parts, “season” the new cast iron with a few break-in fires. Follow Steps 1-3 below. Then let the fire burn out. Do not close the damper. Maintain a small, but not smoky, fire by adjusting the primary air control.
  • Page 20 Dutchwest Safe Ash Handling Ash may contain hot coals and must be treated with extreme care. Ashes should be placed outdoors in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed con- tainer of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

  • Page 21: Cleaning The Glass

    Keep Your Stove Looking New and Working Its Best Care of the Cast Iron Surface An occasional dusting with a dry rag will keep the painted cast iron of your Dutchwest Convection Heater looking new. If the paint needs retouching, allow the stove to cool completely.

  • Page 23: Cleaning The Chimney System

    Cleaning the Chimney System The chimney system is composed of the chimney and the pipe that connects the stove to the chimney. Inspect the chimney and chimney connector at least twice monthly, and clean if necessary. When you first begin using the stove, check daily for creosote —...
  • Page 24 Dutchwest The Chimney Connector TWO WEEKS: • Inspect the chimney connector and chimney. Clean if necessary. TWO MONTHS: • Inspect the chimney and chimney connector. Pay particular attention to the horizontal runs of chim- ney connector, and the elbows. Clean the system if necessary.

  • Page 25: Draft Management

    Your stove is only one part of a system that includes the chimney, the operator, the fuel, and the home. The other parts of the system will affect how well the stove works. When there is a good match between all the parts, the sys- tem works well.
  • Page 26 Dutchwest Single Venting Your stove requires a dedicated flue. Do not connect the stove to a flue used by any other appliance. Chimney draft is a natural form of energy and follows the path of least resistance. If the stove is vented to a flue that also serves an open fireplace or another appliance, the draft will also pull air in through those avenues.
