  • Page 5: Installation

    INSTALLATION IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR OSBURN WOOD FIRE 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 2918:2001 standard.

  • Page 6: 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 7: Clearances To Heat-Sensitive Materials

    Refer to the table below: CLEARANCES TO HEAT SENSITIVE MATERIALS Model OSBURN 900 205 mm 400 mm 325 mm  Floor to ceiling height must be at least 1,500 mm in all cases.

  • Page 8: 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 11: 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 12: Lighting The Fire

    LIGHTING THE FIRE After making sure that the stove’s air intake control is fully open (completely meved to the right), 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. You may also place a few pieces of heating wood, but choose the smaller ones.

  • Page 13: Heating

    CLOSE OPEN Air Intake Control HEATING Controlled combustion is the most efficient technique for wood heating because it enables you to select the type of combustion you want for each given situation. Always load the logs perpendicular to the door opening (front to back). The wood will burn slowly if the wood stove air intake control is adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber to a minimum.

  • Page 14: Fan (Blower) Operation

    FAN (BLOWER) OPERATION A fan is fitted at the back of your Osburn 900 wood stove. This greatly improves heat distribution into the room. By forcing hot air toward the front, the fan enables you to extend the radiation and convection power of your stove.

  • 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: Ash Disposal

    ASH DISPOSAL Ashes should be removed from the stove every few days or when ashes get to 2 to 3 inches 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 17: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE Your Osburn stove is a high efficiency stove and therefore requires 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.

  • Page 18: Firebrick

    FIREBRICK The firebrick in your stove does not need to be replaced if small cracks appear on the firebrick. However, should the firebrick start to disintegrate such that some parts of the firebox become directly exposed to the fire, you must immediately replace the firebrick. Failure to replace the firebrick will cause your stove to wear out prematurely.

  • Page 19: Paint

    PAINT Only clean your stove with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the paint finish. If the paint becomes scratched or damaged, it is possible to give your wood stove a brand new look, by repainting it with a 650 C heat resistant paint.
