    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 15: Zone Heating And How To Make It Work For You

    2.5 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.

  • Page 16: Fuel

    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.

  • Page 17: How To Prepare Or Buy Good Firewood

    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.

  • Page 19: Operating Your Stove

    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 once. Start with one manufactured log and see how the stove reacts.

  • Page 20: Cold Hand

    4.1 Cold Hand The cold hand is a handle, supplied with the stove, which allows to open the door and avoid burns. To open, insert the cold hand into the opening on the right side of the stove. Pull on the cold hand to open the door.

  • Page 21: Wood Storage In The Pedestal

    The blower has a rheostat that can be adjusted in three different positions; either from high (HI) to low (LO) or closed (OFF). Allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour) before turning on the blower, since increased airflow from the blower will remove heat and affect the start up combustion efficiency.

  • Page 22: Lighting Fires

    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. 5.2 Lighting Fires Each person heating with wood develops its own favourite way to light fires.

  • Page 23: Maintaining Wood Fires

    5.2.3 Two Parallel Logs Method Two spit logs are placed in the firebox with a few sheets of twisted newspapers in between the logs. Fine kindling is added across the two logs and some larger kindling across those, log cabin style.
  • Page 24 Ashes should be placed in a tightly covered metal container. The container must be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well away from all combustible materials. 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 a closed metal container until they are completely cooled.

  • Page 25: Building Different Fires For Different Needs

    Therefore, each load of wood should burn completely so that the space begins to cool off a little before loading. Letting the space cool before loading is one of the secrets to clean burning and effective zone heating. 5.3.5 Controlling the Air Intake Once the firewood, firebox and chimney are hot, air intake can be reduced to achieve a steady burn.
  • Page 26 5.4.3 High Output Fires for Cold Weather When heating needs are high during cold weather, the fire should burn steadily and brightly. This is the time to use larger pieces of hardwood. Place the biggest pieces at the back of the firebox and place the rest of the pieces compactly.

  • Page 27: Maintenance

    5.4.6 Carbon Monoxide When unburned logs remain in the firebox and the flame disappears, go outside and look at the chimney exit. If there is visible smoke, it means that there is still combustible to burn but that the fire lacks air to burn properly. In this situation, the CO rate will increase so it is important to react.
  • Page 28 Never try to clean the glass when the stove is hot. When the stove runs at lower temperatures, light brown stains may form, especially in the lower corners of the glass. This indicates that the fire has been smoky and some of the smoke has condensed on the glass.
  • Page 29 6.2.3 Gasket It is a good idea to replace the glass gasket when the door gasket is being replaced. The new gasket is flat, adhesive-backed and made of woven fibreglass. Remove the glass following the first three steps of the «6.2.2 Replacement»...

  • Page 30: Door

    6.3 Door In order for the stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox. The tightness of the door seal can be verified by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper.
  • Page 31 It is also possible to fix the handle angle by adjusting the door latch mechanism, located on the right hand side opening of the stove. 16. Unscrew the nuts (D) and lift the door latch mechanism (E) to increase the pressure on the door.

  • Page 32: Chimney Maintenance

    6.3.2 Gasket It is important to replace the gasket with another having the same diameter and density to maintain a good seal. 17. Remove the door and place it face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or a piece of carpet.
  • Page 33 The most common equipment used are fibreglass rods with threaded fittings and stiff plastic brushes. The brush is forced up and down inside the chimney flue to scrub off the creosote. The chimney should be checked regularly for creosote build-up. Inspection and cleaning of the chimney can be facilitated by removing the baffle.

  • Page 45: The Venting System

    9. The Venting System 9.1 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 46 9.2.2 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.

  • Page 47: Minimum Chimney Height

    9.3 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.).

  • Page 48: Supply Of Combustion Air

    9.4.2 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.

  • Page 49: Installing The Chimney Connector

    Contrary to commonly expressed concerns, almost all tightly sealed new houses have enough natural leakage to provide a 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 50 9.6.1 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 51 • 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. •...
