  • Page 8: Well Sealed Flue System

    Well sealed flue system Only materials and items approved for solid fuel stoves should be used for your stove. Under no circumstances should you use aluminum or galvanized steel pipes for your stove flue. Always fit pipes with the narrow side down, this allow any creosote to run down the inside of the pipe and not to come out and cause an unsightly mess and possible fire hazard.

  • Page 9: Chimney

    This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the pipe or the stovetop. All joints, including the flue collar connection must be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate. For the best performance the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90 elbows.

  • Page 10: Factory Built Chimney

    Factory Built Chimney When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer‟s installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc.

  • Page 11: Masonry Chimney

    Masonry Chimney Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated.

  • Page 12: Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs

  • Page 13: Operating Your Stove

    Operating Your Stove Do not use a grate, andiron or other fuel support method. Build fire directly on the hearth. Only open door to fuel/refuel the stove. Excess air can cause the stove to over fire. Do not over fire, if chimney or stove is glowing red you are over firing. Do not build the fire too close to the glass.

  • Page 14: Refueling

    Refueling Before refueling your stove, turn the air supply to high for a few moments until there is a good fire in the stove. This will ensure there is no build-up of harmful gases in the stove when the door is opened and will also get the new fuel burning quickly and not allow it to kill the fire.

  • Page 15: Stove Maintenance

    Stove Maintenance Check stove regularly Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal – When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
  • Page 16 Gently remove the glass panel and gasket. Using a wire brush, remove all remaining debris from the glass area. Apply a small bead of gasket/stove cement to the new gasket. Do not overlap the ends of the gasket rope. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and reinstall the glass clips. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after the stove has be burned and the gasket has been seated.
