  • Page 6: Venting Requirements

    THE INSERT. 1.2 Venting requirements The flue is a critical component to a satisfactory installation. Your Osburn insert will attain its best performance if installed with a chimney that generates its own draft. The minimum requirement of a flue will be the installation of a flue connector (the liner must conform to UL1777 chimney liners) from the insert into the first flue tile of the chimney (USA), see Figure 2.3 , or a continuous stainless steel...
  • Page 7 Ensure that all joints in the flue systems are tightly sealed, since any leaks will result in reduced performance as well as a possible safety hazard. This heating unit must serve as a supplementary heat source. An alternate heat source should be available in the home if needed.

  • Page 9: Suitable Fireplace Dimensions (Refer To Figure 2.1)

    Floor protection to the front is to be measured from the fuel loading door opening. 5. Osburn recommends that you install a listed smoke detector or alarm in your home. Normal operation of the insert will have no effect on the detector or alarm.

  • Page 14: Section 3.0 Operation

    Misuse is not covered by warranty. Even though your Osburn has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimize the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft causing flame or smoke to spill into the room.

  • Page 15: Fuel

    3.2 Fuel Fuel for the insert must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles and not in the space required for ash removal. Your Osburn insert is designed to burn . Do not burn coal, charcoal, or ORDWOOD trash in the unit.

    Common Heating Values of Cordwood Hardwoods Million Btu/Cord Softwoods Million Btu/Cord Birch 23.6 Douglas Fir 20.6 White Oak 28.3 Hemlock 17.1 Alder 17.6 Jack Pine 18.4 Table 3.1 3.2.1 Simple Wood Moisture Test Add one large piece of wood to the top of an established fire. If it starts to burn on three sides within one minute, it is dry and seasoned and right for burning.
  • Page 17 Ideally the large kindling should be burned until a thick bed of red embers is obtained. At that point, add cordwood fuel and continue to operate the draft control wide open until the fire is well established. Once the firebox is hot, the draft control can be partially closed by moving the knob to the left to adjust the intensity of the fire.

  • Page 18: Maintaining The Fire

    3.5 Maintaining The Fire Your Osburn insert 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. Combustion efficiency is largely related to establishing a hot ember bed, and hot firebox temperatures.

  • Page 19: Section 4.0 Maintenance

    Section 4.0 Maintenance 4.1 Care And Cleaning Clean the insert frequently so that soot, ash and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean the insert, glass or door when the unit is hot. Special care must be taken with Gold surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance.

  • Page 20: Baffle Installation And Brick Notes Note

    Osburn dealer. Your Osburn insert has been designed to reduce the amount of creosote produced. Even so, the chimney connector pipe and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred.

Afterwards, push them towards the bottom and sides so that they rest on the back of the firebox (D) and on the side air ducts. Figure 3.4b 3. Install the baffle support/extension (H) ensuring that it fits between the front risers and hold it in place.
  • Page 22 All firebrick and duraboard baffles must be properly in place for correct burning operation. Have any damaged firebricks replaced. Check the firebricks annually for damage and replace if they are broken or damaged. See Figure 3.3 for the firebrick layout. Install the side & back firebricks first, and then the bottom firebricks.

    4.6 Fan Maintenance & Care Clean the fan air inlet louvres and squirrel cage impeller regularly. The fan should be kept clean and dust free. Life of the fan will be shortened if operated in a dust filled environment, or if the fan is overheated by restricting air supply.
