Page 4: Periodic Checklist
• Check door seals using the "dollar bill test." - When the stove is cool, shut the door on a dollar bill. If the bill pulls out without any resistance, then your stove’s door is not sealing properly. To tighten the seal, adjust the door latch mechanism or change the door gasket. -
Page 5: Specifications
Floor Size of Heated Area Up to a maximum of 3,500 square feet. Factors unique to your home can reduce the square footage the stove will heat. Home insulation value, number and efficiency of windows, floor plan, stove placement, quality of the fuel and other conditions may limit the heating ability of the stove. -
Page 6: Setting Up Your Equinox Wood Stove
Consider the weight of the Equinox [689 pounds (313 kg)], and its hearth. You must ensure the floor system will support the weight of the stove and hearth. If you are not certain your floor is adequate, contact a professional structural engineer for advice. -
Page 7: Outside Air Supply
The advantage of providing outside air directly to the stove is that the air used by the stove for combustion is taken from outside the residence rather than from within the room where the stove is located. -
Page 8: Combustible Surface Required Clearances
It is very important to follow minimum clearances for chimney connectors to combustibles such as walls and ceilings when installing the stove near combustible surfaces. MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES (from closest point of stove) Figure 3: Freestanding Installation Clearances (US Requirements) Figure 4: Fireplace Installation Clearances HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc ®... - Page 9 If you use a rear heat shield to obtain reduced clearances, you must only use the optional rear heat shield manufactured by HearthStone specifically for the Equinox Model 8000 (Heat Shield part number: 90-68000) , which is available through your local dealer. Use only close clearance connector pipe tested to UL standards and listed.

Page 11: Enting Omponents And Onfiguration Requirements
Attach stovepipe sections to the flue collar and to each other with the crimped end toward the stove. If creosote builds up, this allows the creosote to run into the stove and not on the outside of the stovepipe or onto the stove. -
Page 12: Connecting The Stove To A Chimney
Make sure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate for this stove and that it is not too large. You can use a masonry chimney with a larger tile size – but see NFPA 211 for limitations. - Page 13 Figure 5: Typical Acceptable Chimney Configurations HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc ® Equinox Model 8000...

Basswood, Butternut, Hemlock Moisture content also plays a key role in the performance of your stove. Wood freshly cut from a living tree (green wood) contains a great deal of moisture. As you might expect, green wood burns poorly. You must season green wood before using it in your wood stove. -

Page 19: Removal And Disposal Of Ashes
Sift the ashes across the grate into the ash pan. Then return the ash grate to its closed position by pushing the lever back in towards the stove and then fold it back under the ash lip. The ash pan is easy to remove and has a handle and lid for convenient disposal of ashes. -
Page 20: Maintaining Your Equinox Wood Stove
To prevent the buildup of creosote: Burn the stove with the primary air control fully open for 35 - 45 minutes daily to burn out creosote deposits from within the stove and the venting system. -

Loosen the setscrew and rotate the handle assembly to increase or decrease spring pressure. LASS Do not operate the stove with a broken door glass. Do not abuse the front door by striking or slamming. When necessary, clean the glass with commercial stove glass cleaners, which are available from your local dealer. -
Page 22: Stone
Take care not to scratch or chip the soapstone. Do not set items that can scratch or chip the stone on top of your stove. Do not use sandpaper to buff out scratches, as it will remove the polished surface of the stone. -
Page 23: Troubleshooting
Again, hot chimneys promote stronger drafts. Opening a window briefly while lighting the stove may help. Other draft guidelines are as follows: An "AIRTIGHT" HOUSE: The air supply (infiltration) to the interior of the house may be inadequate if your home is super-insulated or especially well sealed. -
Page 24: Troubleshooting Guide
Empty the ash pan more frequently. Increase efficiency of burns, and avoid using poor quality or green wood. Do not over-fire the stove. Monitor stove temperatures. Use seasoned wood only. Check the DRAFT. A damper may be required. Operate the stove at a LOW BURN range. Equinox Model 8000... -
