CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS. GLOVES MAY BE NEEDED FOR WOOD INBUILT OPERATION. • USING A WOOD INBUILT WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN COMPONENTS, SUCH AS GLASS OR FIREBRICKS OR BAFFLES MAY PRODUCE AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND MAY DAMAGE THE WOOD INBUILT. ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 2.2 ZONE HEATING AND HOW TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU Your new Osburn Matrix wood inbuilt 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. ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual you used an older conventional wood inbuilt. But there is more to the emission control technologies than protecting the environment. The smoke released from wood when it is heated contains about half of the energy content of the fuel. By burning the wood completely, your wood inbuilt releases all the heat energy from the wood instead of wasting it as smoke up the flue system. Also, the features inside the firebox allow you to reduce the air supply to control heat output, while maintaining clean and efficient flaming combustion, which boosts the efficient delivery of heat to your home. The emission control and advanced combustion features of your wood inbuilt can only work properly if your fuel is in the correct moisture content range of 15 to 20 percent. See Section 3 of ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 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 • MANUFACTURED LOGS CONTAINING WAX OR CHEMICAL ADDITIVES • RAILROAD TIES • LIQUIDS SUCH AS KEROSCENE OR DIESEL FUEL TO START A FIRE 3.2 HOW TO PREPARE OR BUY GOOD FIREWOOD 3.2.1 WHAT IS GOOD FIREWOOD? Good firewood has been cut to the correct length for the wood inbuilt, split to a range of sizes and stacked in the open until its moisture content is reduced to 15 to 20 per cent. 3.2.2 TREE SPECIES The tree species the firewood is produced from is less important than its moisture content. The main difference in firewood from various tree species is the density of the wood. Hardwoods such as gums, Manuka or ironbark are denser than softwoods. Hard wood will produce long‐lasting coal beds combined to more heat and longer burn cycles. Old, leaky cast iron wood inbuilts wouldn’t hold a fire overnight unless they were fed large pieces of hardwood. That is no longer true. You can successfully heat your home by using less wood and give the forest a break at the same time. 3.2.3 LOG LENGTH ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual The pieces should be a consistent length, with a maximum of 25 mm (1”) variation from piece to piece. 3.2.4 PIECE SIZE Firewood dries more quickly when it is split. Large unsplit rounds can take years to dry enough to burn. Even when dried, unsplit logs are difficult to ignite because they don’t have the sharp edges where the flames first catch. Logs as small as 75 mm (3”) should be split to encourage drying. Wood should be split to a range of sizes, from about 75 mm to 150 mm (3” to 6”) 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 finely enough for convenient stoking. It is sometimes advisable to resplit the wood before stacking to dry. ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual Here are some things to consider in estimating drying time: • firewood takes a long time to dry • 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 damp, maritime climates • drying happens faster in warm summer weather than in winter weather • small pieces dry more quickly than large pieces • split pieces dry more quickly than unsplit rounds • softwoods take less time to dry than hardwoods • hardwoods like gums, Manuka and ironbark can take one, or even two years to dry fully, especially if the pieces are big • firewood dries more quickly when stacked in the open where it is exposed to sun and wind; it takes much longer to dry when stacked in a wood shed •...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 3.3 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, but use caution in the number of these logs burned at one time. Start with one manufactured log and see how the wood inbuilt reacts. You can increase the number of logs burned at a time to making sure the temperature never rises higher than 246 °C (475 °F) on a magnetic thermometer for installation on wood inbuilt flue. The thermometer should be placed about 450 mm (18”) above the wood inbuilt. ...

Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 4.3 LIGHTING FIRES Each person who heats with wood develops their own favorite way to light fires. Whatever method you choose, your goal should be to get a hot fire burning quickly. A fire that starts fast produces less smoke and deposits less creosote in the flue system. Here are three popular and effective ways to start wood inbuilts. ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 4.3.3 TWO PARALLEL LOGS Place two spit logs in the firebox. Place a few sheets of twisted newspaper between the logs. Now place some fine kindling across the two logs and some larger kindling across those, log cabin style. Light the newspaper. 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. DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, FUEL OIL, MOTOR OIL, OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE. ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 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 wood inbuilt is relatively cool, but there is still some flue system draft to draw the ash dust into the wood inbuilt and prevent it from coming into the room. NOTE: The fan should be turned in “OFF” position (2) prior to ash removal to avoid ashes to be pulled towards the inbuilt and then pushed into the room. After ashes have been removed from the wood inbuilt and placed in a tightly covered metal container, they should be taken outside immediately. The closed container of ashes should be placed ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 4.4.4 FIRING EACH NEW LOAD HOT Place the new load of wood on and behind the charcoal and not too close to the glass. Close the door and open the air control fully. Leave the air control fully open until the firebox is full of flames, the wood has charred to black and its edges are glowing red. Firing each load of wood hot accomplishes a few things: • drives the surface moisture from the wood, • creates a layer of char on the wood, which slows down its release of smoke, • heats the firebox components so they reflect heat back to the fire, and • heats the flue system so it can produce strong, steady draft for the rest of the cycle. Although it is important to fire each new load hot to prepare for a clean burn, do not allow the fire to burn at full intensity for more than a few minutes. DO NOT LEAVE THE WOOD INBUILT 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 wood inbuilt and the flue system, the result will be a surge of heat from the wood inbuilt. This heat surge is welcome when ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 4.5 FAN OPERATION Allow the wood inbuilt to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour), before turning on the fan, since increased airflow from the fan will remove heat and affect the start‐up combustion efficiency. The wood inbuilt's fan assembly is equipped with a heat sensor. Therefore, you can leave the switch in the automatic position (3). The fan will start automatically when the wood inbuilt is hot enough and it will stop when the wood inbuilt has cooled down. You can also set the switch to the ...

Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 4.5.1.2 Long Lasting Low Output Fires Sometimes you will want to build a fire to last up to eight hours, but don’t need intense heat. In this case use smaller pieces of hardwood and place the logs compactly in the firebox so the pieces are packed tightly together. You will need to fire the load hot for long enough to fully char the log surfaces before you can turn the air down. Make sure the fire is flaming brightly before leaving the fire to burn. 4.5.1.3 High Output Fires for Cold Weather When the heat demand is high during cold weather, you’ll need a fire that burns steadily and brightly. This is the time to use your biggest pieces of hardwood fuel if you have it. Put the biggest pieces at the back of the firebox and place the rest of the pieces compactly. A densely built fire like this will produce the longest burn your wood inbuilt is capable of. You will need to be cautious when building fires like this because if the air is turned down too much, the fire could smoulder. Make sure the wood is flaming brightly before leaving the fire to ...

When you are home during the day and able to tend the fire, it is preferable to build a smaller fire that might ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 5 MAINTAINING YOUR WOOD HEATING SYSTEM 5.1 WOOD INBUILT MAINTENANCE Your new wood inbuilt 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. You should always replace defective parts with original parts (see Appendix 8: Exploded Diagram and Parts List). For firing each load hot to begin a cycle as described above will not cause premature deterioration of the wood inbuilt. However, letting the wood inbuilt run with the air control fully open for entire cycles can cause damage over time. The hotter you run the wood inbuilt throughout burn cycles, the more quickly its components will deteriorate. For that reason, never leave the wood inbuilt unattended while a new load is being ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.2 DOOR ADJUSTMENT In order for your wood inbuilt 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 (B). To reduce pressure on the door, when putting a new door gasket for example, put two washers. To adjust: 1. Unscrew the two screws (A) and remove/add one spacer (B). 2. Reinstall the handle guide with the screws (A) 24 _ _____________________________________________________________________________ ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 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. Test all around ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual The gasket must be centered on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up. Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of the glass down onto the gasket, taking care that it is perfectly centered on the gasket. Peel off more of the backing and rotate the glass and press the next section onto the gasket. Do not stretch the gasket as you place ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual is mostly clear, creosote builds up more slowly. Your new wood inbuilt has the right characteristics to help you to burn clean fires with little or no smoke, resulting in less creosote in the flue system. 5.2.2 HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CLEAN THE FLUE SYSTEM? It is not possible to predict how much or how quickly creosote will form in your flue system. It is important, therefore, to check the build‐up in your flue system monthly when getting used to the new wood inbuilt until you determine the rate of creosote formation. Even if creosote forms slowly in your system, the flue system should be cleaned and inspected at least once each year. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire authority for information on how to handle a flue system fire. Have a clearly understood plan to handle a flue system fire. 5.2.3 CLEANING THE FLUE SYSTEM Flue system cleaning can be a difficult and dangerous job. If you don’t have experience cleaning flue systems, you might ...

Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 9 THE FLUE SYSTEM 9.1 GENERAL The flue system, made up of the flue system and the flue between the wood inbuilt and the flue system, acts as the engine that drives your wood heating system. Even the best wood inbuilt will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable flue system. The heat in the flue gases that pass from the wood inbuilt and flue into the flue system is not waste heat. This heat is what the flue system uses to make the draft that draws in combustion air, keeps smoke inside the wood inbuilt and safely vents exhaust to outside. You can think of heat in the flue gas as the fuel the flue system uses to make draft. 9.2 SUITABLE FLUE SYSTEMS Your wood inbuilt will provide optimum efficiency and performance when connected to a 150 mm diameter flue liner. The reduction of liner diameter to less than 150 mm should only be done if the total height of the masonry flue system is greater than 20 feet. 9.3 LINER INSTALLATION For ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual ATTENTION INSTALLER: When positioning the unit in a fireplace opening prior to the flue installation, install the wood inbuilt into the opening until the top lip of air jacket is flush with fireplace facing. If lag‐bolts or anchors are to be used to secure the wood inbuilt, the hole locations should be marked with the unit in place. Remove the wood inbuilt and locate the anchors. ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual B) Your dealer may offer a liner fastening system (AC02006), sold separately. Follow the installation instructions provided with the liner fastening system. 9.4.2 IF THE FLUE LINER DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THE WOOD INBUILT’S FLUE OUTLET You can install a liner offset adapter (AC01370), which is sold separately. Please note that an offset adaptor reduces the free flow of exhaust gases and may result in smoke roll‐out from the wood inbuilt when it’s door is opened for loading. Only use an offset adaptor if a) there is no other alternative and b) if the total height of the fireplace and flue system is at least 20 feet. If you must install a liner offset adapter, secure the three brackets with the three screws provided (30131) on top of the wood inbuilt in the three holes in front of the flue outlet. The long end of the brackets must be attached to the wood inbuilt. The brackets ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 9.5 MINIMUM FLUE SYSTEM HEIGHT Flue heights and lengths from AS/NZS 2918:2001 The top of the flue system should be tall enough to be above the air turbulence caused when wind blows against the house and its roof. The flue exit shall be located outside the building in which the appliance is installed so that: a) The flue shall extend not less than 4.6 m above the top of the floor protector; b) The minimum height of the flue system within 3 m distance from the highest point of the roof shall be 600 mm above that point; c) The minimum height of the flue system further than 3 m from the highest point of the roof shall be 1000 mm above roof penetration; d) No part of any building lies in or above a circular area described by a horizontal radius of 3 m about the flue system exit. _ _____________________________________________________________________________ 3 9 ...
Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 9.6 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FLUE SYSTEM AND THE HOUSE Because the flue system is the engine that drives the wood heating system, it must have the right characteristics. The signs of bad system design are cold backdrafting when there is no fire in the wood inbuilt, slow kindling of new fires, and smoke roll‐out when the door is opened for loading. 9.6.1 WHY THE FLUE SYSTEM 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 tendency of warm air to rise creates a slight pressure difference in the house. Called ‘stack effect’, it produces a slightly negative pressure low in the house (relative to outside) and a slightly positive pressure zone high in the house. If there is no fire burning in a heater connected to a flue system that is shorter than the warm space inside the house, the slight negative pressure low in the house will compete against the desired upward flow in the flue system. There are two reasons why the flue system in the house at right will cold downdraught when it is cold outside and there is no fire burning in the wood inbuilt. First, the flue system runs up the outside ...
