    MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOME INSTALLATIONS – ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS 1. The stove must be bolted to the floor (secure the unit by prying out the two plastic plugs in the pedestal, and installing the two 3/8" x 3-1/2" (9.8mm x 88.9mm) lag bolts through the holes provided).

  • Page 14: Section 2.0 Chimney (Flue System)

    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 15 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 code-approved solid fuel burning stainless steel liner.

  • Page 16: 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 FIGURE 2.2.1 (A) Typical installation through the wall 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.
  • Page 18 2- Once the opening completed, you need to frame in the area to allow for the installation of a wall thimble. A wall thimble is not required for installations through concrete walls. 3- You must first secure the wall thimble into the exterior wall surface. Then, do the same inside and fasten the trim plate.
  • Page 19 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. When the wall support is level and properly positioned, you can use lag bolts to secure it into the wall studs.

Simply install the inter-connecting stove pipe between the stove pipe adapter and the stove. You can follow the instructions in the following section (section 2.3) of this manual called «...
  • Page 21 Typical installation through the ceiling FIGURE 2.2.1 (B) Typical Installation Through the Ceiling 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.
  • Page 22 2- Before you install the ceiling support, you need to frame the area. 3- To install the ceiling support, just slide the assembly into the framed opening from below. Once you ensure that the finishing plate is flush with the underside of the ceiling and assembly is level, secure it with screws.
  • Page 23 6- Now, you can add additional chimney sections. Continue adding chimney lengths until a height of about 2 feet below the next ceiling level. An attic insulation shield must be installed where a chimney passes from a lower living space into an upper living space or attic space. It is designed to keep insulation materials away from the chimney.
  • Page 24 9 You are now ready to connect your chimney to your stove. Simply install the inter-connecting stove pipe between the stove pipe adapter and the stove. You can follow the instructions in the following section (section 2.3) of this manual called « CHIMNEY CONNECTOR».

  • Page 30: Draft

    DRAFT Your Osburn 1500 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 31: The Benefits Of Your Blower (Fan)

    THE BENEFITS OF YOUR BLOWER (FAN) A blower is installed at the back of your Osburn 1500 stove. This 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 and convection power of your stove.

  • Page 32: 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 TESTING CSA B365 ( ANSI NFPA 211 (USA). AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED AS BREACHING CANADA • DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE •...

  • Page 33: Fuel

    • Even though your Osburn 1500 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 34: The Use Of Manufactured Logs

    Highly flammable items such as trash may ignite creosote in the chimney (flue), resulting in a chimney fire. Never burn salt wood, beach wood, chemically treated wood, or wood removed from salt water, since the deposits left will deteriorate the firebox. Damage caused by chemicals or salt is not covered under warranty.

  • Page 35: Simple Wood Moisture Test

    Decorative fireplaces generally have larger, cooler, and less air-tight fireboxes. Your Osburn 1500 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 36: Maintaining The Fire

    Your Osburn 1500 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 37: 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 gold plated surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance.

  • Page 38: Ash Removal Using The Ash Drawer

    ASH REMOVAL USING THE ASH DRAWER AUTION ASHES CAN START FIRES EVEN AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF INACTIVITY EVER DISPOSE OF ASHES IN A COMBUSTIBLE CONTAINER EMOVE ASHES WHEN THE STOVE AND ASHES ARE COLD Whenever the ashes get 3 – 4” (76 – 102 mm) deep in the firebox, they should be emptied into the ash drawer, using the following instructions: •...

  • Page 39: Chimney (Flue) Cleaning

    When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire which could be hazardous. Your Osburn 1500 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.
