2.4 Zone Heating and How to Make it Work for You This stove is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area it is installed in, as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature. This is called zone heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces within homes.
The paint coating on the stove is very thin. Its VOC content (Volatile Organic Compounds) is very low. VOCs can be responsible for smog, so all the paint used during the manufacturing process meets the latest air quality requirements regarding VOC reduction or elimination. The air tubes are stainless steel, which can also be recycled.
3.1 How to Prepare or Buy Good Firewood 3.1.1 What is Good Firewood? Good firewood has been cut to the correct length for the stove, split to a range of sizes and stacked in the open until its moisture content is down to 15% to 20%. 3.1.2 Tree Species The tree species the firewood is produced from is less important than its moisture content.
Page 18
Wood should be split to a range of sizes, from about 3" to 6" (75 mm to 150 mm) in cross section. Having a range of sizes makes starting and rekindling fires much easier. Often, the firewood purchased from commercial suppliers is not split small enough to fuel the fire. It is sometimes advisable to resplit the wood before stacking to air dry.
3.1.7 Manufactured Logs Do not burn manufactured logs made of wax impregnated sawdust or logs with any chemical additives. Manufactured logs made of 100% compressed sawdust can be burned with caution in the number of these logs burned at one time. Start with one manufactured log and see how the stove reacts.
Potential causes of smoke spillage are described in Section «8. The Venting System» of this manual. See «Appendix 7: Optional Fire Screen Installation» for installation instructions. OPERATING THE STOVE WITH A FIRE SCREEN INCREASES POSSIBILITIES OF GENERATING CARBON MONOXIDE. CARBON MONOXIDE IS AN ODOURLESS GAS THAT IS HIGHLY TOXIC WHICH CAN CAUSE DEATH AT HIGH CONCENTRATION IN AIR.
As hotter and hotter fires are burnt, more of the painted surfaces reach the curing temperature of the paint. The smell of curing paint does not disappear until one or two very hot fires have been burnt. 4.4 Lighting Fires Each person heating with wood develops its own favorite way to light fires.
4.4.4 Using Fire Starters Commercial fire starters can be used instead of newspaper. Some of these starters are made of sawdust and wax and others are made of specialized flammable solid chemicals. Always follow the package directions when using. Gel starter can also be used, but only to light a fire, in a cold combustion chamber without hot embers inside.
Page 23
Ashes can contain hot embers that can stay hot for several days. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be kept in the closed metal container until they are completly cooled. No other waste should be placed in this container. NEVER STORE ASHES INDOORS OR IN A NON-METALIC CONTAINER OR ON A WOODEN DECK.
4.5.5 Controling the Air Intake Once the firewood, firebox and chimney are hot, air intake can be reduced to achieve a steady burn. As the air intake is reduced, the burn rate decreases. This has the effect of distributing the thermal energy of the fuel over a longer period of time.
Page 25
Sprecial attention must be paid when building fires like this since if the air intake is reduced too quickly, the fire could smoulder. The wood must be flaming brightly before leaving the fire to burn. 4.6.4 Maximum Burn Cycle Times The burn cycle time is the period between loading wood on a coal bed and the consumption of that wood back to a coal bed of the same size.
5. Maintaining Your Wood Heating System 5.1 Stove Maintenance This stove will give many years of reliable service if used and maintained properly. Some of the internal components of the firebox, such as firebricks, baffle and air tubes, will wear over time under intense heat.
Page 27
The gasket seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment: Unscrew the nut (A). Remove the door latch (B) and the key path pin (C). Remove or add one washer (D) as needed. Keep the removed washer for future adjustment. Re-install the key path pin (C) in the key-way and slide the latch (B) along it.
Page 28
Remove the door and place it face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or a piece of carpet. Remove the old gasket from the door by pulling and prying it out with an old screw driver. Then use the screwdriver to scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door gasket groove. Apply a bead of approximately ¼"...
5.1.6 Firebricks Before installing the firebrick, ensure that none are broken or damaged in any way, and replace the damaged ones. Check the firebrick for damage at least annually and replace any broken or damaged ones with new ones. 5.2 Chimney Maintenance 5.2.1 Why Cleaning the Chimney Is Necessary Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney, forming a inflammable deposit called creosote.
PART B - INSTALLATION 6. Safety Information and Standards • The information given on the certification label affixed to the appliance always overrides the information published, in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines and web sites). • Mixing of appliance components from different sources or modifying components may result in hazardous condtions.
7. Clearances to Combustible Material The clearances shown in this section have been determined by test according to procedures set out in safety standards ULC S627 (Canada), UL 1482 (U.S.A.) and UL 737 (U.S.A.). When the stove is installed so that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances specified, combustible surfaces will not overheat under normal and even abnormal operating conditions.
7.3 Floor Protector This stove is designed to prevent the floor from overheating. However, it must be placed on a non-flammable surface to protect the floor from hot embers that may fall during loading. The floor protection must be a continuous, non combustible material, such as steel with a minimum thickness of 0.015"...
7.4 Reducing Wall and Ceiling Clearances Safely It is often desired to use as little space as possible when installing a woodstove. To do this, it is possible to reduce the clearances safely and install the stove closer to the walls by permanently installing a heat shield between the stove and the flammable material.
Page 39
CLEARANCES MAY BE REDUCED BY THESE PERCENTAGES TYPE OF SHIELD SIDES AND REAR TOP (CEILING) CAN /USA CAN /USA MIN. MIN. Sheet metal, a minimum of 24 gauge (0.61 mm) in thickness , spaced out at least 25 mm (1 in)* by non-combustible spacers 12"...
8. The Venting System 8.1 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 41
8.2.2 Factory-Built Metal Chimneys in Mobile Homes For use in a mobile home, this stove is to be connected to a 6" double wall factory built chimney pipe conforming to UCL-S629, standards for 650°C Factory-built chimney. The total length of the flue system should be at least 12 feet including elbows, from the top of the stove.
8.3 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 1 m (3 ft.) above the highest point of contact with the roof, and at least 60 cm (2 ft.) higher than any roof line or obstacle within a horizontal distance of 3 m (10 ft.).
8.4.2 Why the Chimney Should Penetrate the Highest Heated Space When it is cold outside, the warm air in the house is buoyant so it tends to rise. This creates a slight pressure difference in the house. Called ‘stack effect’, it produces a slightly negative pressure in the lower part of the house (compared to the outside) and a slightly positive pressure zone in the high part of the house.
Contrary to commonly expressed concerns, almost all tightly-sealed new houses have enough natural leakage to provide the small amount of air needed by the stove. The only case in which the wood stove may not have adequate access to combustion air is if the operation of a powerful exhaust device (such as a kitchen range exhaust) causes the pressure in the house to become negative relative to outdoors.
Page 45
8.6.1 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 (which has been common in the past) can result in house fires. The best flue pipe assembly is one that rises straight up from the stove to the base of the chimney with no elbows.
Page 46
• Each joint in the assembly must be fastened with at least three screws. • The assembly must have allowance for expansion: elbows in assemblies allow for expansion; straight assemblies should include an inspection wrap with one end unfastened, or a telescopic section. •...
