    1.3.1 Reduced clearances using shielding You may decrease the clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and can include sheet metal, a rigid non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall. Clearances of not less than 1"...

    FLOOR PROTECTOR If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it must be guarded by a non-combustible material extending at least 18” (300mm) from the front and 8” (200mm) from the sides and the back of the firebox., as shown in Figure 1.4 below.

    SECTION 2.0 CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM) DEFINITIONS For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions: • A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimne , which attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house. •...
  • Page 14 If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code. It must be lined with fire clay bricks, or clay tiles, sealed together with fire cement, or have a listed solid fuel burning stainless steel liner. Round chimneys are the most efficient.

    FIGURE 2.2 Minimum Height of the Chimney 2.2.1 Step by step installation of your factory-built chimney The way to install your chimney may vary from one chimney manufacturer to another. For installation instructions, we advise you to consult your chimney manufacturer whose products are sold at many North American retailers of wood stoves and related heating accessories.

    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 21: Chimney Connector

    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 23: Draft

    Avoid 90 degree eblows DRAFT Your Osburn 1600 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 24: Outside Combustion Air

    OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR Your OSBURN stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake which is necessary for a mobile home (pedestal version only). It is recommended to install 5’’ outside air intake in the room where the stove is located or nearby.

  • Page 25: The Benefits On Installing A Blower

    THE BENEFITS ON INSTALLING A BLOWER A blower can be installed at the back of your OSBURN 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 26: Operation

    SECTION 3.0 OPERATION Keep these instructions for future reference. WARNING: • ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE CSA B365 ( ANSI NFPA TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED AS BREACHING CANADA 211 (USA). • DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE •...

  • Page 27: Safety Information

    Misuse is not covered by warranty. • Even though your Osburn 1600 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 28: 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 Osburn 1600 stove is designed to burn . Do not burn coal, charcoal, or trash in the WOOD ONLY unit.

  • Page 29: The Use Of Manufactured Logs

    Decorative fireplaces generally have larger, cooler, and less air-tight fireboxes. Your Osburn 1600 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 30: Simple Wood Moisture Test

    3.2.2 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. If it turns black and starts to burn in about three minutes or more, it is damp.
  • Page 31 Burn Rate Draft Setting Move Control against the L.H. side. Medium Low Move Control right by around 3 cm from closed position. Medium High Move Control right by around 6 cm from closed position High Move Control against the R.H. side Table 2.2 Draft Settings Closing the draft control down too soon will lower combustion efficiency, and may result in creosote build-up in the chimney (which could lead to a future chimney fire).

  • Page 32: Maintaining The Fire

    Your Osburn 1600 wood 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. Combustion efficiency is largely related to establishing a hot ember bed, and hot firebox temperatures.

  • Page 33: Maintenance

    SECTION 4.0 MAINTENANCE CLEANING AND PAINTING YOUR STOVE Clean the stove frequently so that soot, ash, and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean the stove when the unit is hot. Special care must be taken with plated surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance.

  • Page 34: Gasketing

    Carefully clean the gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this purpose, and install the new gasket. Use only the genuine Osburn gasket. You may light up your stove again approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation.

  • Page 35: Chimney (Flue) Cleaning

    When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire which could be hazardous. Your Osburn 1600 stove has been designed to reduce the amount of creosote produced. Even so, the chimney and any chimney connector should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred.
