2.3 Zone Heating and How to Make it Work for You Your new Solution 1.3 wood 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.
3 Fuel 3.1 Materials That Should Not be Burned • GARBAGE OF ANY KIND, • COAL OR CHARCOAL, • TREATED, PAINTED OR COATED WOOD, • PLYWOOD OR PARTICLE BOARD, • FINE PAPER, COLORED PAPER OR CARDBOARD, • SALT WATER DRIFTWOOD, •...
3.2.3 Log Length Logs should be cut about 1” (25 mm) shorter than the firebox so they fit in easily. Pieces that are even slightly too long make loading the stove very difficult. The most common standard length of firewood is 16” (400 mm). The pieces should be a consistent length, with a maximum of 1”...
3.2.5 How to Dry Firewood Firewood that is not dry enough to burn is the cause of most complaints about wood inserts. Continually burning green or unseasoned wood produces more creosote and involves lack of heat and dirty glass door. See Section 5: Maintaining your wood heating system for concerns about creosote.
3.2.6 Judging Firewood Moisture Content Judging Firewood Moisture Content You can find out if some firewood is dry enough to burn by using these guidelines: You can find out if some firewood is dry enough to burn by using these guidelines: You can find out if some firewood is dry enough to burn by using these guidelines: •...
4 Operating Your Stove 4.1 The use of a fire screen. This stove has been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a fire screen (AC01318, sold separately). Make sure the fire screen is properly secured on the stove to avoid any risk of fire.
4.3.1 Conventional Fire Starting The conventional way to build a wood fire is to bunch up 5 to 10 sheets of plain newspaper and place them in the firebox. Next, place 10 or so pieces of fine kindling on the newspaper. This kindling should be very thin;...
4.3.4 Using Fire Starters Many people like to use commercial fire starters instead of newspaper. Some of these starters are made of sawdust and wax and others are specialized flammable solid chemicals. Follow the package directions for use. Gel starter may be used but only if there are no hot embers present. Use only in a cold firebox to start a fire.
4.4.2 Ash Removal Ash should be removed from the firebox every two or three days of full time heating. Do not let the ash build up in the firebox because it will interfere with proper fire management. The best time to remove ash is after an overnight fire when the stove is relatively cool, but there is still some chimney draft to draw the ash dust into the stove and prevent it from coming into the room.
DO NOT LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHILE A NEW LOAD IS BEING FIRED HOT. DO NOT OVERFIRE. When you burn a new load of wood hot to heat up the wood, the stove and the chimney, the result will be a surge of heat from the stove. This heat surge is welcome when the room temperature is a little lower than desirable, but not welcome if the space is already warm.
4.4.6 Building Different Fires for Different Needs Using the air control is not the only way to match the stove’s heat output to the heat demand. Your house will need far less heat in October than in January to be kept at a comfortable temperature. If you fill the firebox full in fall weather, you will either overheat the space or turn the stove down so much that the fire will be smoky and inefficient.
Page 22
4.4.6.4 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. The flaming phase of the fire lasts for roughly the first half of the burn cycle and the second half is the coal bed phase during which there is little or no flame.
5 Maintaining Your Wood Heating System 5.1 Stove Maintenance Your new stove will give many years of reliable service if you use and maintain it correctly. Some of the internal components of the firebox, such as firebricks, baffles and air tubes, will wear over time under intense heat.
5.1.2 Door adjustment In order for your stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically making sure to obtain an air tight fit. Airtightness can be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment. To increase the pressure on the gasket, remove one washer (A).
5.1.3 Replacing the Door Gasket It is important to maintain the gasket in good condition. After a year or more of use, the door gasket will compress and become hard, which may allow air to leak past it. You can test the condition of the door gasket by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper.
5.1.5 Cleaning and Painting the Stove Do not attempt to clean or paint the stove when the unit is hot. Painted surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Plated surfaces may be scratched by abrasive cleaners. To maintain the finish at its original brilliance, use only a damp soft cloth to clean plated surfaces.
5.2.3 Cleaning the Chimney Chimney cleaning can be a difficult and dangerous job. don’t have experience cleaning chimneys, you might want to hire a professional chimney sweep to clean and inspect the system for the first time. After having seen the cleaning process, you can decide if it is a job you would like to take on.
PART B - INSTALLATION 6 Safety Information 6.1 Summary of Installation Cautions and Warnings • 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/OR WEB SITES).
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), UL1482 (U.S.A.) and UL737 (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.

7.4 Reducing Wall and Ceiling Clearances Safely It is often desirable to reduce the minimum installation clearances by placing the stove closer to walls so the installation takes up less floor space. You can safely reduce the minimum clearances permanently installing a shield between stove combustible material.

8 The Venting System The Venting System 8.1 General The venting system, made up of the chimney and the connecting pipe between the stove and the The venting system, made up of the chimney and the connecting pipe between the stove and the The venting system, made up of the chimney and the connecting pipe between the stove and the chimney, acts as the engine that drives your wood heating system.
8.2.2 Masonry Chimneys The stove may also be connected to a The stove may also be connected to a masonry chimney, provided the chimney masonry chimney, provided the chimney complies with the construction rules found rules found in the building code enforced locally. The in the building code enforced locally.
8.4 The Relationship Between the Chimney and the House The Relationship Between the Chimney and the House Because the venting system is the engine that drives the wood heating syst Because the venting system is the engine that drives the wood heating system, it must have the em, it must have the right characteristics.
There are two reasons why the chimney in the house at right will cold backdraft when it is cold outside and there is no fire burning in the stove. First, the chimney runs up the outside of the house, so the air in it is colder and denser than the warm air in the house.
8.6 Installing the Chimney Connector The chimney connector is the single or double wall pipe installed between the stove flue collar and the chimney breech. Single wall pipe components are available from most hardware and building supply stores. These components are not usually tested to a particular standard and certified as compliant.
