  • Page 7: 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 8: 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 9: 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 2300 150mm 500mm 220mm 300mm 200mm •...
  • Page 10: 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.

  • Page 13: 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 14: Heating

    Before igniting the paper and kindling wood, it is recommended that you warm up the flue. This is done in order to avoid back draught problems often due to negative pressure in the house. If such is the case, open a window slightly near the stove and twist together a few sheets of newspaper into a torch.
  • Page 15: 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 16: Use Of The Bypass Damper

    USE OF THE BYPASS DAMPER Your stove is equipped with a bypass damper. This feature should be used, if needed, upon start-up of the stove to help heat-up the flue faster. The bypass damper should be closed as soon as there is a fire going inside the firebox and smoke is moving upward through the exhaust system.
  • Page 17: Creosote Formation And Need For Removal

    CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL When wood is burnt slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue system. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
  • Page 18: Ash Disposal Using Ash Drawer

    ASH DISPOSAL USING ASH DRAWER 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.
  • Page 19: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE Your Osburn stove is a high efficiency stove and therefore require little maintenance. It is important to perform a visual inspection of the stove every time it is emptied, in order to insure that no part has been damaged, in which case repairs must be performed immediately.
