Page 5: Positioning The Stove
1.2 POSITIONING THE STOVE It is very important to position the wood stove in an area that will favour the most efficient heat distribution throughout the house. The stove should therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood stove. - Page 6 FIGURE 1.3 Clearances to combustible materials and floor protection...

Page 12: Section 2.0 Chimney (Flue System)
O NOT CUT RAFTERS OR CEILING JOISTS WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING A BUILDING OFFICIAL TO ENSURE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS NOT COMPROMISED Your wood stove may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL103 (USA) or ULCS629 (Canada) standards. - Page 13 Round chimneys are the most efficient. The interior diameter of the chimney should be identical to the stove's smoke exhaust. A chimney which is too small may cause draft problems, since it may not have the required volume to properly evacuate the quantity of smoke resulting from the combustion.

Page 14: Step By Step Installation Of Your Factory-Built Chimney
Wall support system If your chimney must rise along an outside wall, you need to connect it to your stove through an adjacent wall. In Canada the CSA B365 and the CSA C22.1 installation codes are to be followed. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required:... - Page 15 Typical installation through the wall FIGURE 2.2.1 (A) Typical installation through the wall 1- Start by positioning your stove where you would like it to go, taking into account the minimum clearances to combustible material. determine where the chimney will pass through the wall. You will probably have to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the studs.
- Page 16 4- Then, from outside the building, slide a short chimney length (attached to the tee) through the wall thimble. The chimney must extend at least 3 inches into the living space where it attaches to the stove pipe.
- Page 17 5- You can now install the wall support. Simply slide the wall support up to the tee, ensuring that the adapter on the support engages with the female coupler on the bottom of the tee. When the wall support is level and properly positioned, you can use lag bolts to secure it into the wall studs.
- Page 18 Ceiling support system If your chimney must rise inside the house and go through the ceiling, you need to connect it to your stove at the ceiling level. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required: Chimney...
- Page 19 FIGURE 2.2.1 (B) Typical Installation Through the Ceiling 1. Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to mark the ceiling directly above your stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the joists.
- Page 20 Make sure that the male coupler is pointing upwards, as indicated by the arrow on the chimney label. 5. Then, from beneath the support, insert the stove pipe adapter and twist-lock it into place.
- Page 21 6. Now, you can add additional chimney sections. Continue adding chimney lengths until a height of about 2 feet below the next ceiling level. An attic insulation shield must be installed where a chimney passes from a lower living space into an upper living space or attic space.
- Page 22 If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof deck, roof guys with telescoping legs and draw bands are required. 9. You are now ready to connect your chimney to your stove. Simply install the inter- connecting stove pipe between the stove pipe adapter and the stove. You can follow the instructions in the following section (section 2.3) of this manual called...

Page 23: Typical Installation Through An Existing Masonry Chimney
2.2.2 Typical installation through an existing masonry chimney You can also install your stove using your existing masonry chimney. To do so, follow the guidelines below. You may want to use a factory-built thimble, on construct your own brick thimble. If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code in your region. - Page 24 FIGURE 2.2.2 (B) Factory Built Thimble...

Page 26: Chimney Connector
Your chimney connector (commonly called stove pipe) and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove’s exhaust outlet. The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum 24-gauge thickness (0.021" or 0.53 mm). It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel. - Page 27 FIGURE 2.3 (B) Minimum Slope The assembly should be as short and direct as possible between the stove and chimney (See figure 2.4 (A)). The use of two 45 degree elbows (See figure 2.4 (C)) is often preferable to a single 90 degree elbow (See figure 2.4 (B)) because less turbulence is created in the exhaust flow and they result in less horizontal run.

Page 28: Draft
2.4 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 29: The Advantage Of Installing A Blower (Fan)
2.6 THE ADVANTAGE OF INSTALLING A BLOWER (FAN) A blower can be installed at the back of your DROLET stove. This option is necessary if you wish to redistribute into a room the heat trapped at the back of your stove. By forcing hot air toward the front, the blower enables you to extend the radiation power of your stove. -
Page 30: Section 3.0 Operation
WHEN IT IS OPERATING DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN HEATER INSTALLATION CLEARANCES OPEN AIR CONTROL AND DAMPER WHEN FITTED THIS STOVE IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH THE DOOR OPEN ONLY DURING LIGHTING PROCEDURES DOOR IS OPEN HOT WHILE IN OPERATION... - Page 31 Even though your E.P.A Drolet has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimise the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft of flame or smoke into the room.
-
Page 32: Fuel
3.2 FUEL Fuel for the stove must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles (heat sensitive materials). NEVER STORE WOOD IN THE ASH PAN COMPARTMENT. Your E.P.A Drolet stove is designed to burn trash in the unit. Highly flammable items such as trash may ignite creosote in the chimney (flue), resulting in a chimney fire. -
Page 33: The Use Of Manufactured Logs
Decorative fireplaces generally have larger, cooler, and less air-tight fireboxes. Your E.P.A Drolet stove, on the other hand, has a smaller, completely sealed firebox which attains much higher temperatures. It is therefore not designed to support excessive heat caused by the addition of chemicals in manufactured logs. -
Page 34: Lighting A Fire
3.4 LIGHTING A FIRE Place enough crumpled balls of newspaper or other paper into the stove to cover the bottom of the firebox. Place small and dry kindling on the crumpled paper. Place larger and dry kindling on top of the small kindling. -
Page 35: Maintaining The Fire
15 seconds to avoid smoke spillage before you reload the stove. Your E.P.A Drolet stove will work best if a thick bed of hot embers is maintained in the bottom of the firebox and a minimum of two large pieces of seasoned fuel are added. -
Page 36: Section 4.0 Maintenance
Carefully clean the gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this purpose, and install the new gasket. Use only the genuine Drolet gasket. You may light up your stove again approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation. -
Page 37: Chimney (Flue) Cleaning
Call a professional chimney sweep, or go to your local E.P.A Drolet dealer, purchase a chimney brush, and have the chimney cleaned. The chimney and chimney connector must be in good condition and kept clean. -
