INSTALLATION Installation Overview When choosing a location for your new stove, there are a multitude of factors that should be taken into account before beginning the installation. 1. Traffic Patterns – To help prevent accidents, the stove should be placed in a location where it is out of the way of normal travel through the home. 2. Heat Flow – When deciding on a location for the stove, consider the way heat moves throughout your home. Install the stove where you need the heat; basement installations often do not allow sufficient heat to flow to the upper floors and a top floor installation will not allow any heat to reach the floors below. Always consider that heat rises and will take the path of least resistance while it is still hot. 3. Exhaust Location – The engine which drives a wood stove is the chimney system, so it is important to consider precisely how the chimney system will be integrated into the stove installation. Ideally, a wood stove chimney will run completely vertical from the flue collar of the unit all the way to the termination point above the roof line. Keeping the entire chimney system inside the heated envelope of the home will ensure a strong, easy to initiate draft in the chimney. Although exterior chimney systems often function properly, they are more likely to suffer from cold down drafts at start up or provide weak draft to the unit. Also, consider the cross‐sectional area of the chimney; although existing masonry chimneys can often be used, a large external masonry chimney will result in a unit that is difficult or impossible to operate properly. In that case, an insulated chimney liner will often be required to supply the necessary draft. 4. Wall Construction – Locating the stove so that the exhaust system can pass between studs will simplify the installation and eliminate the need to reframe any sections of the wall or ceiling to accommodate the wall thimble or ceiling box. ...

Roof Flashing and Storm Collar • The wood stove must be connected to the chimney system with double wall chimney connector which is UL listed for use in Joist Shield/Firestop mobile and manufactured homes. ...
FLOOR PROTECTION • This wood stove requires a U.L. listed (ULC if Canada) floor protector with a R factor of no less than 1.0, if the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor. If the floor the stove is to be installed on is already non‐combustible (i.e. a concrete floor in a basement), no floor protection is needed (although a decorative floor protector can still be used for aesthetic reasons). • When using any floor protector, consider that this stove is not only heavy but will induce heating and cooling cycles on the floor protector which can damage tile and loosen mortar and grout joints located near the stove. • The floor protector should be UL rated and listed, or equivalent (ULC if Canada) and must be noncombustible. A hearth rug is NOT an approved substitute for a proper hearth pad. • For the US: The floor protector must extend at least 16 in. from the front of the fuel opening, 8 in. from the sides of the door opening and 8 in. from the rear of the unit. • For Canada: The floor protector must extend at least 450 mm from the front of the fuel opening, 200 mm from the sides of the door opening and 200 mm from the rear of the unit.

CAUTION NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE‐TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. ...
OPERATION Break‐In Fires • This wood burning unit is constructed of heavy gauge steel and cast iron and is built to last a long time. However, in order to ensure no excessive thermal stresses are induced on the metal during the first fire, three break‐in fires should be burned, each one slightly hotter than the last. These break‐in fires will not only help the stove body acclimate to the high temperatures of the fire, but will also slowly cure the high temperature stove paint, which will ensure the high quality finish lasts for years. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND burning your break‐in fires outdoors, as the paint and manufacturing oils will ‘burn off’ the stove exterior somewhat during this time. If you do burn them indoors with your flue system, open doors and windows to ventilate. • This stove has a single air control rod which regulates the wood burn rate; when the primary air control slide is pushed all the way into the unit, the stove will burn more slowly and put out heat over a longer time period. Conversely, when the air control slide is pulled all the way out, the unit will burn more quickly and put out a larger amount of heat over a relatively shorter time period. Do not attempt to modify the range of air control adjustment for any reason. • The first break‐in fire should be just a large kindling fire, getting the stove to about 300°F as measured by a magnetic thermometer on the right or left side of the stove, above the door. Once this temperature has been reached, allow the fire to die out with the air control open. The second and third break‐in fires should be a bit larger, with some small dry splits added to the kindling load. The temperature goal during these fires is about 350°F – 450°F; don’t let the fire get hotter than that. Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which ...
Page 18
OPERATION Continuous Operation – Daily Operation after your Break‐In Fires Start‐up Load the firebox with 6‐9 lb of startup wood, split to moderate (1/4 to ½ lb) size. On top of the startup wood, add 3‐5 lb of dry kindling. Start‐up: Ignite the kindling until an aggressive flame is established and reaches the secondary tubes at the top of the firebox. Close the door and set air to maximum High Burn Load on to a coal bed with minimal large chunks of wood, if practical Load wood parallel to the sides of the firebox Place wood pieces as far back in the firebox as possible. Avoid loading arrangements that result in tightly packed wood pieces. Select orientations that result in gaps between wood pieces and/or wood pieces sitting higher in the firebox. Any bark should face up to facilitate quick ignition Once visible flame reaches the secondary tubes, close the door and set air to maximum Low and Medium Burn Allow the stove to burn at its intended Medium or Low setting for at least 15 minutes prior to loading. This can be done by burning on High until down to the top of the coal bed range, then setting the air and allowing 15 minutes to elapse. Leave the door closed for the 15‐minute period – rake the coal bed prior. As with the high burn: o Load wood parallel to the sides of the firebox o Place wood pieces as far back in the firebox as possible. o Avoid loading arrangements that result in tightly packed wood pieces. Select orientations that result in gaps between wood pieces and/or wood pieces sitting higher in the firebox. o Any bark should face up to facilitate quick ignition o Once visible flame reaches the secondary tubes, close the door and set air to maximum When visible secondary combustion is established (the flames are ‘rolling’ up near the tubes), begin to slowly reduce the air setting over at least 5 minutes. Ensure that secondary combustion is maintained as air is reduced. Magnetic Thermometer England’s Stove Works, Inc. always recommends the use of a magnetic stove thermometer, so that ...

DO NOT STORE FUEL CLOSER THAN SPECIFIED CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES OR WITHIN THE SPACE NEEDED FOR LOADING THE STOVE AND FOR ASH REMOVAL. OPERATION Additional Safety Guidelines • The installation of smoke detectors is highly recommended when installing this or any other solid fuel burning appliance. Smoke detectors should be located near or in every room of the home, particularly sleeping rooms. • A smoke detector can be installed in the same room as this cordwood burning unit; installing the smoke detector too close to the unit can lead to nuisance alarms due to slight wisps of smoke emitted during the fire starting or reloading process. Due to this, the smoke detector in the same room as the unit will be most useful if it is located as far from the unit as the room will permit. • This stove is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried, seasoned hardwoods, as compared to soft woods or to green or freshly‐cut hardwoods. DO NOT BURN garbage, lawn clippings or yard waste, materials containing rubber, including tires; Materials containing plastic: Waster petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or asphalt products; Materials containing asbestos; Construction or demolition debris; Railroad ties or pressure‐treated wood; Manure or animal remains; Salt water driftwood or previously salt water saturated materials; Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard. The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire in an affected wood heater. Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke. • Burning fuels other than cordwood, particularly coal and charcoal, can result in hazardous concentrations of carbon monoxide being emitted into the dwelling. For these reasons, NEVER burn coal or charcoal in this cordwood stove. Installing a carbon monoxide detector and being aware of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can help reduce the risk of carbon monoxide ...

• If the unit is connected to outside air, be certain to monitor the exterior inlet to the combustion system for icing or snow accumulation. Allowing the outside air connection to become restricted will result in air starvation to the unit. Safe Wood‐Burning Practices Once your wood‐burning appliance is properly installed, follow these guidelines for safe operation: Keep all flammable househould items‐drapes, furniture, newspapers, and books‐far away from the appliance. Start fires only with newspaper, dry kindling and all natural or organic fire starters. Never start a fire with gasoline, kerosene, or charcoal starter. Do not burn wet or green (unseasoned) logs. Do not use logs made from wax and sawdust in your wood stove‐they are made for open hearth fireplaces. If you use manufactured logs, choose from those made from 100 percent compressed saw dust. Build hot fires. For most appliances, a smoldering fire is not a safe or efficient fire. Keep the doors to your wood‐burning appliance closed unless loading or stoking the live fire. Harmful chemicals, like carbon monoxide, can be released into your home. Regularly remove ashes from your wood‐burning appliance into a metal container with a cover. Store the container of ashes outdoors on a cement or brick slab (not on a wood deck or near wood). See ash removal instructions in your owner’s manual. Keep a fire extinguisher handy. Remember to check your local air quality forecast before you burn. ...
MAINTENANCE Daily Maintenance • Inspect the firebox for ash accumulation; remove excess ash and follow instructions below regarding disposal. Ash should not be allowed to excessively accumulate in the stove. Monthly Maintenance • Check the door handle for proper operation and to be certain an airtight seal is still being made by the door. • Inspect the chimney system and chimney connector and sweep if necessary. Although cleaning may be required less than monthly, ALWAYS inspect the venting system monthly to decrease the chance of a chimney fire. • Visually inspect the ceramic fiber insulating boards in the firebox for cracks and/or breakage. Slight surface cracks will not affect the performance of the boards, but cracked or crumbling boards should be replaced immediately. • Visually inspect the secondary combustion tubes for cracks, warping and corrosion. Although these tubes are constructed from stainless steel, they operate at very high temperatures and can eventually wear out from normal use. Yearly Maintenance • Check all gaskets (window and door) for wear and to be certain they still maintain an airtight seal. See the following page for instructions. • Thoroughly clean the chimney system and the chimney connector system. Since the chimney connector is generally exposed to high exhaust temperatures, inspect it ...
Page 22
MAINTENANCE Inspecting Gaskets An airtight seal at the door opening is crucial to proper stove performance. Any air leakage at this area can cause an over‐fire situation and is therefore a serious safety threat. Because of this, gaskets should always be maintained in good condition. Gasket tightness can be checked using the “dollar‐bill” method: • Place a dollar bill between the gasket and the stove body (at the location where the gasket meets the stove). • Close and tighten the door then attempt to pull the dollar bill out. If the dollar bill slides in and out easily, the gasket needs to be replaced. This test should be repeated around the entire gasket perimeter, as gaskets will sometimes seal tightly on one side, but will be worn and seal poorly on another side. • Perform this test around the entire perimeter of the door, and visually inspect the window gasket for any leaks. Leaks in the window gasket can generally be located by following the prevailing soot trails left on the window after burning the unit. • If any area fails the test, the entire gasket should be replaced. • Gaskets should only be replaced with equivalent fiberglass gaskets purchased from England’s Stove Works ® specifically for this unit. Gaskets 1. Door ‐ This unit comes with a “ rope gasket around the door that should be replaced at least every year. To replace the door gasket (Part # AC‐DGKNC), the old gasket must first be removed entirely — prior to adding the new adhesive, you may have to scrape ...

‐ Operation and Maintenance – Please refer to the ‘Operation’ (Operating Instructions) and Maintenance (including Ash Removal/Disposal) sections of your owner’s manual and follow the guidelines listed therein for safety and for optimal emissions performance. Additional Information: Following the instructions in your owner’s manual for Building a Fire will ensure a proper fire, as well as helping minimize visible emissions. More: ‐ Fuel loading and re‐loading: Practical Tips for Building a Fire – See your owner’s manual for information on loading (and re‐loading) your fuel, as well as for fire‐starting procedures (i.e. ‘Building a Fire’). ‐ Top‐Down Fires: The US EPA recognizes ‘the effectiveness of the top‐down approach for starting fires.’ A good tutorial for this approach may be found at http://woodheat.org/top‐ down‐steps.html . When building top‐down fires, be sure to follow the instructions found in your owner’s manual and contact our Technical Support if you have any questions. ‐ Fuel Selection: Once your wood‐burning appliance is properly installed, building an effective fire requires good firewood (using the right wood in the right amount) and good fire building practices. The following practical steps will help you obtain the best efficiency from your wood stove or fireplace. Season wood outdoors through the summer for at least 6 months before burning it. Properly seasoned wood is darker, has cracks in the end grain, and sounds hollow when smacked against another piece of wood. Store wood outdoors, stacked neatly off the ground with the top covered. Burn only dry, well‐seasoned wood that has been split properly. Start fires with newspaper and dry kindling as discussed earlier in the manual. Burn hot fires. To maintain proper airflow, regularly remove ashes from your wood‐burning appliance into a metal container with a cover and store outdoors. Moisture Meter Information ...

To test your firewood, simply push the pins into the wood and wait for a reading. Remember, don't just stick the meter into the ends of your firewood. To get the most accurate reading, split the wood and test the center. The center of the log will contain the most moisture. How Far Should I Drive Non‐Insulated Pins into Wood? To full depth if possible. However, at moisture levels below 10%, it is usually sufficient to make good, positive contact with the wood. At higher levels of moisture and especially if you have a steep gradient, full penetration is a must. ‐ WHAT FUELS NOT TO USE: CAUTION NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE‐TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.
