In addition to the national installation codes, local building and/or fire officials (or other authorities having jurisdiction) should be contacted to determine what restrictions and installation requirements might locally apply. When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the 1100 is intended to be used as the following: as a residential freestanding stove with vertical or horizontal connector.

Your Osburn will attain its best performance if installed with a chimney that generates its own draft. The minimum requirement of a flue will be the...
Note: If outside air for combustion is to be used it should be provided for at this time. This requires that the Osburn Fresh Air Kit Wood (#OA10500) be installed (refer to the installation instructions which are provided in the outside air kit). Install the unit.

Proper ventilation is required. If an occupant has respiratory problems, mechanically filtered ventilation or heat recovery ventilation is recommended. Where lesser clearances are desired, consult your local authority as regulations may vary regarding the use of clearance reducing devices. Listed wall and floor shields are available to reduce clearances, and most building codes provide information on materials which may be used to reduce clearances.
1.5.2 Door overlay installation In order to complete the assembly of your freestanding Osburn 1100 wood stove, you need to install the door overlay. See table 1.1.3 below for installation instructions : 1- Position the overlay on the door frame and fix it in place from behind using the 4 screws.
1.5.3 Clearances to combustibles Clearances to any combustibles when measured directly out from the front and up from the top of the stove, must be a minimum of 48" (1219 mm). The stove should be placed to maintain the minimum clearances to combustible walls specified for the connector used. Table 1.1 MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS VERTICAL...
Page 12
1.5.3.1 Reduced clearances to combustibles 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"...

Figure 1.4 1.5.5. Installation instructions Inspect the fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary. If the installation of the unit renders the existing damper control inaccessible, it will be necessary to either secure the damper wide open, or remove it entirely. An inaccessible damper which may fall shut later could cause smoke to enter the room.

1.6.3.2 Chimney Systems The minimum chimney size is 6" (152 mm) in diameter. The minimum overall height of the chimney system, measured from the base of the appliance is 12' (3.66m). Existing masonry and metal chimneys should be inspected to check for deterioration and to determine if they meet the minimum installation requirements;...
1.6.3.4 Draft Your Osburn stove will attain its best performance if installed with a chimney system that has proper draft. (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, and the stack temperatures of the stove).

Do not abuse the unit, either by over firing or by using wood or combustibles with salt content, or harmful chemicals. 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 minimise the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft of flame or smoke into the room.
Fuel for the stove must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles and not in the space required for charging and ash removal. Your Osburn stove is designed to burn . Do not burn coal, charcoal, ORDWOOD or trash in the unit.

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 handle to the left to adjust the intensity of the fire.
2.5 Maintaining The Fire Your Osburn 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.
2.6 (Optional) Fan Installation and Operation Allow the stove 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. NSURE ONTACT URFACE TOVE REVENT LECTRICAL HOCK...

1. Make sure the fire is out, and the stove is cold. 2. Lift the ash dump plug at the left rear of the firebox by hooking the poker through the loop on the cover and lifting up. 3. Push the ashes through the hole and leave some ashes to cover the ash dump plug once it is replaced.
Osburn dealer. Your Osburn stove 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.
3.4 Baffle Installation and Brick Notes Follow these instructions to remove the baffle: Lift the front bricks over the front of baffle support and out Raise the front baffle support up to right and move the left end down and out the door. Remove the rear secondary air tube, see section 4.6.
BRICK LAYOUT Figure 3.3 3.5 Secondary Air Tube Replacement (See Figure 3.4) Remove cotter pin at LH end of tube. Slide tube to right and lower tube end below LH plenum. Slide tube to left to remove. Reassemble in reverse order using a new cotter pin. The cotter pin is a hammerlock style and locks into place by hitting the head sharply with a hammer.
