Materials The body of this stove, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel. Should it ever become necessary many years in the future, almost the entire stove can be recycled into new products, thus eliminating the need to mine new materials. The paint coating on the stove is very thin.
Emissions and Efficiency The low smoke emissions produced by the special features inside this stove firebox mean that the household will release up to 90% less smoke into the outside environment than if an older conventional stove was used. But there is more to the emission control technologies than protecting the environment.
Harder woods are best for colder winter weather when more heat and longer burn cycles are desirable. Hardwood trees like oak, maple, ash and beech are slower growing and longer lived than softer woods like poplar and birch. That makes hardwood trees more valuable. The advice that only hardwoods are good to burn is outdated.
Here are some facts to consider in estimating drying time: − Firewood bought from a dealer is rarely dry enough to burn, so it is advisable to buy the wood in spring and dry it yourself; − Drying happens faster in dry weather than in a damp climate;...
The Use of a Fire Screen In the United States or in provinces with a particulate emission limit (eg. US EPA), the use of wood stoves with the door open with a rigid firescreen is prohibited. This stove has been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a fire screen, sold separately.
5. Burning Wood Efficiently First Use Two things happen when burning the first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components are conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also trigger false alarms in smoke detectors. When lighting the heater for the first few times, it may be wise to open doors and windows to ventilate the house.
is burning. The best is to wrap a sheet on itself, grab the ends of the roll and make a knot. Use four or five sheets of paper tied together and put them on top and around the kindling. Open the air intake control completely, ignite the paper and close the door.
Burning in cycles means the loading door does not need to be opened while the wood is flaming. This is an advantage since it is preventing smoke leaking from the heater when the door is opened as a full fire is burning. This is especially true if the chimney is on the outside wall of the house.
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 almost always contain live embers that can stay hot for days and which release carbon monoxide gas.

5.7.2 Long Lasting Fire For a fire that will last up to eight hours, use the following guidance. Make sure there is a good coal bed of 1.5 to 2 inches thick with dark red embers. For the loading, put 2 logs at the back, 2 in the center and 2 in the front. All of them in an East-West orientation.
A longer burning time is not necessarily an indication of efficient operation. It is preferable to build a smaller fire that will provide three or four hours of heating than to fully load the firebox for a much longer burn. Shorter burn cycles make it easier to match the heat output of the stove to heat demand for space.
Glass Door 6.3.1 Cleaning Under normal conditions, the door glass should stay relatively clear. If the firewood is dry enough and the operating instructions in this manual are followed, a whitish, dusty deposit will form on the inner surface of the glass after a week or so of use. This is normal and can be easily removed when the heater is cold by wiping with a damp cloth or paper towel and then drying.
6.3.3 Gasket The glass gasket is flat, adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. Follow the steps of the previous section to remove the glass. Remove the old gasket and clean the glass thoroughly. Peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up.
6.4.2 Gasket It is important to replace the gasket with another having the same diameter and density to maintain a good seal. 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.

Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and firing technique. Check daily for creosote build-up until experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the less creosote is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild weather even though monthly cleaning may be enough in the coldest months.
PART B - INSTALLATION 7.

Floor Protection 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"...
Reducing Clearances Safely It is often desired to use as little space as possible when installing a wood stove. 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.

9. The Venting System 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
9.1.2 Factory-Built Metal Chimney in Mobile Home For use in a mobile home, this stove is to be connected to a 6" (150 mm) double wall factory built chimney pipe conforming to ULC-S629 or UL 103 HT standards for 650°C Factory-built chimney. The total length of the flue system should be at least 12' (3,6 m)including elbows, from the top of the stove.
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 3 ft. (1 m) above the highest point of contact with the roof, and at least 2 ft.
Supply of Combustion Air 9.4.1 Mobile Home This stove is approved to be installed in a mobile home. It must therefore have a supply of combustion air from outdoors. The air intake must not draw air from the attic, from the basement, from a garage or any enclosed space.
To reduce the risks against smoke spillage due to house depressurization, a carbon monoxide (CO) and a smoke detector is required in the room where the stove is installed. The CO detector will provide warning if for any reason the wood stove fails to function correctly. Chimney Connector The chimney connector is the single or double wall pipe installed between the stove flue collar and the chimney breech.
Page 45
• Minimum clearance from combustible material: 18" (450 mm). The minimum clearance may be reduced by 50%, to 9" (225 mm) if proper heat shield is installed either on the pipe or on the combustible surface. • The assembly should be as short and direct as possible between the stove and chimney. The use of two 45o elbows is preferable to a single 90o elbow.
