  • Page 4: General Installation

    SECTION 1.0 - INSTALLATION When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the Millenia EPA wood stove is suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in residential installations. The Millenia EPA wood stove is not intended for installation in a bedroom or a mobile home.

  • Page 5: Positioning The Stove

    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.

    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.

  • Page 15: Step By Step Installation Of Your Factory-Built Chimney

    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. The instructions contained in this manual are based on the recommendations of chimney manufacturers whose products are sold at many North American retailers of wood stoves and related heating accessories.

  • Page 17 1- Start by positioning your stove where you would like it to go, taking into account the minimum clearances to combustible material. You will then be able to 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 18 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. 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.
  • Page 19 7- Authorities require that the chimney extend not less than 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof of a building and not less than 2 feet above any portion of the building within 10 feet. If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof deck, roof guys with telescoping legs and draw bands are required.
  • Page 20 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 21 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. You can use a stud finder to locate the joists. You also need to take into account the minimum clearances to combustible materials.
  • Page 22 4. Once the support is secure, you can begin to assemble the chimney by lowering the first section into the support. 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. 6.
  • Page 23 7. Once you have cut through your roof and framed the joists, it is time to work outdoors. Authorities require that the chimney extend not less than 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof of a building and not less that 2 feet above any portion of the building within 10 feet.

    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 27: Chimney Connector

    2.3 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. The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney connector: ...
  • Page 28 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 29: 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 30: The Benefits Of Installing A Blower

    THE BENEFITS OF INSTALLING A BLOWER 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.

    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 32: Safety Information

    Misuse is not covered by warranty.  Even though your E.P.A Drolet stove 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 33: 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 . Do not burn coal, charcoal, or trash in the WOOD ONLY unit.

  • Page 34: 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 35: 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 37: Maintaining The Fire

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

  • Page 38: Section 4.0 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 39: Gasketing

    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 40: Chimney (Flue) Cleaning

    If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Call a professional chimney sweep, or go to your local E.P.A Drolet dealer, purchase a chimney brush, and have the chimney cleaned.
