    2.4 EPA Certification Loading For EPA Certification testing, wood logs were 16 ± 1 inches long and the specie used was hard maple. 2.4.1 Air Control The air control is located underneath the ash shelf. To open the air control, pull the air control handle completely (High).

  • Page 13: 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 14: 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 15: 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 16: Drying Time

    Drying Time Firewood that is not dry enough to burn is the cause of most complaints about wood burning appliances. Continually burning green or unseasoned wood produces more creosote and involves lack of heat and dirty glass door. Firewood with a moisture content between 15% and 20% will allow the stove to produce its highest possible efficiency.

  • Page 17: Stove Operation

    4. Stove Operation 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 : •...

  • Page 18: Blower Operation

    Blower Operation A blower is already installed on this stove The blower is installed on the back of the stove to increase the airflow through the heat exchanger and improve hot air circulation in the room. When used regularly, the blower can provide a small increase in efficiency, up to 2%.

  • Page 19: 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’...

  • Page 20: Combustion Cycles

    5.2.4 Using Fire Starters Commercial fire starters can be used instead of newspaper. Some of these fire starters are made of sawdust and wax and others are made of special flammable chemicals. Always follow the instructions on the packaging before use. A gel starter can also be used, but only to light a fire, in a cold combustion chamber, without hot embers inside.

  • Page 21: 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 22: Fire Types

    If the flames diminish to the point of disappearing, the air intake has been reduced too early in the combustion cycle or the wood used is too wet. If the wood is dry and the air control is used properly, the flames should decrease, but remain bright and stable. 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.
  • Page 23 The burning time expected from this stove, including both phases, will vary depending on a number of things, such as: − firebox size, − the size of the space to be heated, − the amount of wood loaded, − the climate zone where the house is, and −...

  • Page 24: Maintenance

    6. Maintenance This heater will give many years of reliable service if used and maintained properly. Internal components of the firebox such as firebricks or refractory panels, baffle and air tubes will wear over time. Defective parts should always be replaced with original parts. To avoid premature deterioration, follow the lighting and reloading procedures in section «5.

  • Page 25: Door

    6.3.2 Replacement The glass used is a ceramic glass, 5/32" (4 mm) thick, 19⅝" x 11⅞" (499 mm x 302 mm), tested to reach temperatures up to 1400º F. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with one having the same specification.
  • Page 26 6.4.1 Adjustment To facilitate access to the door lock mechanism, the decorative panels on the left side of the appliance should be removed (see «Appendix 1: Side Panels Installation»). Otherwise, the bolts are accessible with an open wrench 3/8". Unscrew the top and bottom bolts (A) to adjust the depth of the lock, the tension on the door and on the gasket.

  • Page 27: Exhaust System

    Exhaust System Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney, forming a inflammable deposit called creosote. If creosote builds up in the system, it can ignite when a hot fire is burned in the stove. A very hot fire can progress to the top of the chimney. Severe chimney fires can damage even the best chimneys.

  • Page 28: Part B - Installation

    6.6.2 Chimney Fire Regular chimney maintenance and inspection can prevent chimney fires. If you have a chimney fire, follow these steps: Close the stove door and the air intake control; Alert the occupants of the house of the possible danger; If you require assistance, alert the fire department;...

  • Page 34: Reducing Wall And Ceiling Clearances Safely

    Reducing Wall and Ceiling Clearances Safely It is often desirable to reduce the minimum installation clearances by placing the stove closer to walls so the installation takes up less floor space. You can safely reduce the minimum clearances by permanently installing a shield between the stove and combustible material. The rules for safe shields can be complicated, so read them carefully and follow them exactly.

  • Page 36: 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 37 9.2.2 Factory-Built Chimneys for Mobile Home For use in a mobile home, this stove is to be connected to a 6" (150 mm) in diameter double wall factory built chimney conforming CAN/UCL-S629, Standards 650°C Factory-built chimney. The total length of the flue system should be at least 12' (3,6 m) including elbows, from the top of the stove to the rain cap.

  • Page 38: 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 39: Supply Of Combustion Air

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

  • Page 40: Chimney Connector

    9.5.2 Mobile Home This stove is certified and approved to be installed in a mobile home. It must therefore have a supply of combustion air from outdoors. The air intake must not draw air from the attic, from the basement, from a garage or any enclosed space. Air must be drawn from a ventilated crawl space under the floor or directly from outside.
  • Page 41 9.6.2 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 can result in house fires. The rules below are based on those found in the CSA B365 installation code. Please carefully follow these installation instruction rules, or those enforced by the local code.
