    3.4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Inspect the fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary. 2. 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 close, could cause smoke to enter the room.

    3) 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. 4) Even though your Osburn insert has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimize the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft causing flame or smoke to spill into the room.
  • Page 18 10) Never operate the insert with the door open, or cracked slightly open, except briefly during the lighting operation, and during refuelling. Leaving the door open continuously could seriously overheat the chimney and adjacent combustibles. Do not operate the insert if there is an abnormal air leakage into the unit, such as through deteriorated gaskets or cracked or broken glass.

    4.2. CORDWOOD FUEL Fuel for the insert must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles and not in the space required for ash removal. Your Osburn insert is designed to burn C . Do not burn coal, ORDWOOD charcoal, or trash in the unit.

  • Page 20: Simple Wood Moisture Test

    4.2.1. 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 three minutes, it is damp.
  • Page 21 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 pushing the knob to adjust the intensity of the fire.

  • Page 22: Maintaining The Fire

    4.5. MAINTAINING THE FIRE Your Osburn insert 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.

    Section 5.0 MAINTENANCE 5.1. CARE AND CLEANING Clean the insert frequently so that soot, ash and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean the insert, glass or door when the unit is hot. Special care must be taken with plated surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance.

  • Page 25: Ash Removal

    Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed, cracked or broken. The glass must be replaced by a genuine part only. Failure to follow instructions or use of different material may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

  • Page 26: Creosote - Formation And Need For Removal

    Osburn dealer. Your Osburn insert 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) 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. 4) Even though your Osburn insert has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimize the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft causing flame or smoke to spill into the room.
  • Page 102 10) Never operate the insert with the door open, or cracked slightly open, except briefly during the lighting operation, and during refuelling. Leaving the door open continuously could seriously overheat the chimney and adjacent combustibles. Do not operate the insert if there is an abnormal air leakage into the unit, such as through deteriorated gaskets or cracked or broken glass.

  • Page 104: Simple Wood Moisture Test

    4.2.1. 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 three minutes, it is damp.
  • Page 105 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 pushing the knob to adjust the intensity of the fire.

    4.5. MAINTAINING THE FIRE Your Osburn insert 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.
