Page 5: Assembly
ASSEMBLY CAUTION: Operation of your Osburn stove without the baffle may cause unsafe and hazardous temperature conditions and will void the warranty. NOTE: Before installing the firebrick, check to ensure that none are broken or damaged in any way. If so, have the damaged ones replaced. Check the firebrick for damage at least annually and replace any broken or damaged ones with new ones.
Page 6 4- Place the baffle brick retainer up over the back duct and over the stainless steel tube so that the angled rib is on the top. Move it to the middle under the ceramic insulation. 5- Angle each of the two rear baffle bricks up to the top right or left and place them so that they sit crosswise under the ceramic insulation, over the back duct, over the side bricks, and over the baffle brick retainer.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT In order for your stove to operate properly, the door should be adjusted periodically to provide an air tight fit. To adjust:  Remove the lock pin (spring pin) by pulling and turning it using pliers ("Vise grip") ...
Page 8: Door Overlay Installation
DOOR OVERLAY INSTALLATION In order to complete the assembly of your freestanding Osburn 1600 wood stove, you need to install the door overlay. See drawing below for installation instructions : 1- Position the overlay on the door frame and fix it in place from behind using the 4 screws.
Page 9: Installation
INSTALLATION IT IS RECOMMEND THAT THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR OSBURN WOODFIRE BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED SPECIALIST INSTALLER. IF ANY ELECTRICAL WORK IS REQUIRED, IT MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. WARNING: The instructions pertaining to the installation of your wood stove comply with the AS/NZS 2918 standard.
Page 10: Positioning The Stove
POSITIONING THE STOVE It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favour the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible.
Page 11: Clearances To Heat-Sensitive Materials
It is of outmost importance that the clearances to heat-sensitive materials be carefully maintained upon installation of the stove you have selected. Refer to the table below : CLEARANCES TO HEAT SENSITIVE MATERIALS Model OSBURN 1600 125mm 325mm 150mm 300mm 200mm ...
Page 12: Reduced Clearances Using Shielding
REDUCED CLEARANCES USING SHIELDING You may decrease the minimum clearances to heat-sensitive materials by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and must be made of a heat-resistant or heat- tolerant material.

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Keep these instructions for future reference. WARNING:  ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE AS/NZS 4013.

Page 15: Testing Your Wood
Many problems related to the operation of a wood stove are caused by the fact that the wood used is too damp or has dried in poor conditions. These problems can be:  problems lighting the fire  creosote build-up causing flue fires ...
Page 16: Lighting The Fire
LIGHTING THE FIRE After making sure that the stove air intake controls are fully open to the right (located on the front of the stove, see Figure 3), place several rumpled sheets of paper in the center of the combustion chamber. Place 8 to 10 pieces of small dry kindling wood over the paper in the form of a tent.
Page 17: Heating
Your OSBURN stove may burn differently according to the species of wood used, its moisture content, the size and density of the pieces, the length of the flue, the altitude, and outside temperature.
Page 18: Reloading
RELOADING Once you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air control to its maximum for approximately 15 seconds prior to opening the stove door. Then, proceed by opening the door very slowly; open it by 20 to 40 mm for 10 to 15 seconds before opening it completely.
Page 19: Ash Disposal
ASH DISPOSAL Ashes should be removed from the stove every few days or when ashes get to 50 to 75mm deep. Always empty the stove when it is cold, such as in the morning. Always dispose of ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Place this container on a non combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all heat-sensitive materials, pending final disposal.
Page 20 Cover the plug with the remaining ashes and continue operation of your stove as usual. The Ash Drawer is shown in Figure 4 and can be removed by pulling it out toward you. Lift the Ash Drawer slightly or the pedestal base may get scratched. Close the rear half of the Ash Drawer lid to prevent spillage.
Page 21: Optional Fan/Blower Installation And Operation
OPTIONAL FAN/BLOWER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Follow the installation instructions that are with the fan/blower kit #OA10360. Allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour), before turning on the fan/blower, since increased airflow from the fan/blower will remove heat and affect the start-up combustion efficiency.
