Page 14: Chimney Connector
The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney: 1. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance. 2. It must rise above the roof at least 3' (0.9 mm) from the uppermost point of contact. - Page 15 There should never be more than two 90 degrees elbows in the whole connector and chimney system. Never start with a 90 elbow. Always go up vertically for at least 2 feet from the flue spigot before using a 90 elbow.

Page 16: Draft
FIGURE 2.4 The use of elbows DRAFT Your E.P.A Drolet stove’s performance will be optimised if it is installed with a chimney (flue) system that provides an adequate draft. The draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up through the chimney and is predominantly affected by the height and diameter of the chimney, as well as the stack temperatures of the stove. - Page 17 MASONRY CHIMNEY: Clay liner Thimble Clean out door...

Page 20: Woodstove Utilisation
WOODSTOVE UTILISATION Your heating unit was designed to burn wood only; no other materials should be burnt. Wastes and other flammable materials should not be burnt in your wood stove. Any type of wood may be used in your stove, but specific varieties have better energy yields than others. -
Page 21: Testing Your Wood
Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 6" in diameter should be split. The wood should not be stored directly on the ground. Air should circulate through the cord. A 24" to 48" air space should be left between each row of logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location possible. -
Page 22: Ash Disposal
ASH DISPOSAL Ashes should be removed from the stove every few days or when ashes get to 2 to 3 inches deep. Always empty the stove when it is cold, such as in the morning. Always dispose of ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Place this container on a non combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. -
Page 23: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE It is important to perform a visual inspection of the stove every time it is emptied, in order to insure that no parts have been damaged, in which case repairs must be performed immediately. GLASS Inspect the glass regularly in order to detect any cracks. If you spot one, turn the stove off immediately. -
