  • Page 5 Prefabricated Chimneys A prefabricated metal chimney must be one tested and listed for use with solid-fuel burning appliances to the High-Temperature (H.T.) chimney Standard UL-103- 1985 (2100°F.) for the United States, and High Tem- perature (650°C) Standard ULC S-629 for Canada. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
  • Page 6 Dutchwest Sequoia stove. The entire chimney connector should be ex- posed and accessible for inspection and cleaning. 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.
  • Page 7 A special piece called the "thimble sleeve," slightly smaller in diameter than the standard connector and most thimbles, will ease the removal of the chimney connector system for inspection and cleaning. (Fig. 6) Thimble sleeves should be available from your local dealer.
  • Page 8 Dutchwest Sequoia Wall Pass-Throughs Whenever possible, design your installation so the connector does not pass through a combustible wall. If you must use a wall pass-through in your installation, check with your building inspector before you begin and construct it in accordance with local building codes.

Even when the bottom heat shield is installed, you must provide special protection to the floor beneath.

  • Page 15 Distance from the Center of the Flue Collar to the Wall in Top Exit Sequoia Installations The information on this page is helpful in planning stove placement for top exiting installations, particularly those installations with chimneys that pass through the ceiling. However, this is not a clearance chart. For clearance infor- mation, refer to the clearance chart on Page 12.
  • Page 16 Dutchwest Sequoia 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. You should have received: • 1 fully assembled heater body, (with catalytic burner installed in its chamber below the stove top) •...
  • Page 17 Install Air Duct for Outside Air If your installation will include outside air for combus- tion, follow these directions for attaching the three inch duct to the stove: • Screw a #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screw into the duct. Tighten the screw, then back it off two turns.
  • Page 18 Dutchwest Sequoia The Sequoia Controls Air Controls The Sequoia has three air controls that regulate the amount of air drawn into the stove. Generally, more air entering the stove makes the fire burn hotter and faster, while less air prolongs the burn. The Primary Air Control is the lever located on the upper right side of the stove front and is the primary source of air for starting and maintaining wood fires.
  • Page 19 Successful Wood Burning Burning wood and coal is often said to be more of an art than a science. You will easily master the art if you start by using good, dry fuel and by understanding how the stove’s air supply system operates. Burn Only High-Quality Fuel This heater is designed to burn natural wood only (or coal, when the catalytic combustor has been removed...

  • Page 21 Never kindle a fire with colored paper or paper that has colored ink or a glossy surface, and never burn treated wood, garbage, solvents, or trash. All of these may poison the catalyst and prevent it from operating properly. Never burn cardboard or loose paper except for kindling purposes.
  • Page 22 Dutchwest Sequoia correct this situation, roll up a couple pieces of newspa- per, place them on top of the kindling and toward the back of the stove, light them and close the doors. This should heat the chimney enough to initiate a draft. Once the draft is established, open the front door and light the rest of the fuel from the bottom.
  • Page 23 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 Sequoia looking new. If the paint needs retouching, allow the stove to cool completely.
  • Page 24 Dutchwest Sequoia Repair Missing Cement in Seams The cement in the stove seams may deteriorate over time and fall out in places. Just as with the stove doors, it is necessary to keep the seam seals in good condition. Spot-fix with furnace cement (available from your local dealer) any areas where the cement seal is visibly deteriorated.
  • Page 25 9. Test the damper mechanism. If further adjustment is necessary, continue to tighten the adjusting bolt until the damper closes snugly. 10. When final adjustment has been made, tighten the adjusting bolt lock nut. 11. Tighten the anchor bolt. Tighten the anchor bolt lock nut.
  • Page 26 Dutchwest Sequoia • For a visual inspection for blockage that can be performed without removing the combustor, have an assistant shine a bright flashlight beam up through the combustor from inside the stove’s firebox. • If combustor removal is necessary for cleaning or closer inspection, lift it gently out of its chamber.
  • Page 27 Clean the chimney using a specially designed chimney cleaning brush, the same size and shape as the flue liner, attached to flexible fiberglass rods designed for this purpose. Run the brush up and down the liner so that any deposits fall to the bottom of the chimney where they can be removed through the clean-out door.
  • Page 28 Dutchwest Sequoia In any chemical reaction, including the combustion process, there are certain conditions which must be met before the reaction can take place. For example, a reaction may require a certain temperature, or a certain concentration of the reactants (the combustion gases and oxygen), or a certain amount of time.
  • Page 29 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 system works well.
  • Page 30 Dutchwest Sequoia 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.
