  • Page 4: Floor Protector

    INSTALLATION FLOOR PROTECTOR The stove must be placed on solid concrete, solid masonry, or when installed on a combustible floor, on a floor protector. The floor protector is required to provide heat, live ember, and ash protection and must be of a non-combustible, continuous solid surface to protect against infiltration of live embers and ash.
  • Page 5 VENTILATION COMBUSTION AIR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS This appliance requires a source of combustion air. If your home is of tight construction or has negative pressure problems, you will need an outside source of air. Below is a list of possible indicators that a source of outside combustion air may be required. 1.
  • Page 6 VENTILATION CHIMNEY Your wood stove may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney, matching the diameter of the stove exhaust. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or CSA-B365 standard; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

  • Page 14: Operational Tips

    WOODSTOVE UTILIZATION OPERATION Controlled combustion is the most efficient technique for wood heating because it enables you to select the type of combustion you want for each given situation. The wood will burn slowly if the wood stove air intake control is adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber to a minimum.
  • Page 15: Maintenance

    WOODSTOVE UTILIZATION thermometer will indicate the temperature of your gas exhaust fumes within the smoke exhaust system. The ideal temperature for these gases is somewhere between 275°F and 500°F. Below these temperatures, the build-up of creosote is promoted. Above 500 degrees, heat is wasted since a too large quantity is lost into the atmosphere.
  • Page 16: Secondary Air Tubes

    SECONDARY AIR TUBES The secondary air tubes must be cleaned with a wire brush. If debris remains in holes lightly tap with a wooden stick to remove. FIREBRICK The firebrick should be cleaned and inspected as necessary. Replace any damaged or broken brick. AIR TUBES The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to provide an accurate mix of secondary air to insure the highest efficiency.
