INTRODUCTION SBI INC., one of the most important wood stove and fireplace manufacturers in Canada, congratulates you on your purchase and wishes to help you get maximum satisfaction from your wood stove. In the pages that follow, we will give you advice on wood heating and controlled combustion as well as technical specifications regarding installation, operation and maintenance of the model you have chosen.
ASSEMBLY CAUTION: Operation of your Osburn stove without the baffle may cause unsafe and hazardous temperature conditions and will void the warranty. NOTE: Before installing the firebrick, check to ensure that none are broken or damaged in any way. If so, have the damaged ones replaced. Check the firebrick for damage at least annually and replace any broken or damaged ones with new ones.

3- Place the two small 2" x 4 3/8" (51 x 111mm) bricks up into the top front side spaces below the stainless steel tube. 4- Place the baffle brick retainer up over the back duct and over the stainless steel tube so that the angled rib is on the top.
DOOR ADJUSTMENT In order for your stove to operate properly, the door should be adjusted periodically to provide an air tight fit. To adjust: • Remove the lock pin (spring pin) by pulling and turning it using pliers ("wise grip") •...

Only readily detachable parts that are easily replaced, such as damper parts, screens, doors, and side and back refractory panels, are to be removed from the fireplace. These parts must be stored nearby and available for retrofit if the insert is ever removed.
CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLES Sidewall 16” (405mm) From Insert Body Sidefacing 10” (255 mm) Top Facing Height 35.5” (902 mm) From Hearth Expansion Mantle 42” (1070 mm) • Install only on a non-combustible hearth raised 3" (75mm) above the floor, unless the floor is protected by a UL listed “Hearth Shield”...
CHIMNEY Your wood stove may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or ULC S629 standards; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Inspect the fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary. 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 fall shut later could cause smoke to enter the room.

POSITIONING THE UNIT: The more extended the insert, the greater the heat transfer to the room. When installed as an extended insert, the front edge of the air jacket will be installed flush with the fireplace facing. Otherwise the unit can be moved back as much as 3.5"...

Remove the faceplate panels from their box and assemble according to these faceplate instructions: Remove the slide from within the air jacket. Place the faceplate face down on a flat, nonabrasive surface (see Figure 4) so that the sides are a bit towards the middle. Figure 4 Place the slide onto the faceplate so that the bends of the faceplate pieces go inside of the slide.

BRASS INSTALLATION ON FACEPLATE: Attach the mitred corners of the brass trim together using the corner brackets. Slide the assembled brass trim over the edge of the faceplate. See Figures 6 and 7. Attach the left and right side brass to the top with corner brackets supplied. Slip the brass trim over the faceplate and snap the eight faceplate trim clips in place (see Figure 6).

Push the air control (A) in, all the way. Slide the adjustable faceplate sleeve back into its original location until the faceplate fits tightly against the fireplace facing. See Figure 11. One 7/16" (11mm) open end wrench should be used to turn the nut (B), located above the cooktop in the center, up so that it securely fastens the adjustable faceplate sleeve to the top air jacket.
WOODSTOVE UTILISATION Your heating unit was designed to burn wood only; no other materials should be burnt. Wastes and other flammable materials should not be burnt in your wood stove. Any type of wood may be used in your stove, but specific varieties have better energy yields than others.
Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 6" in diameter should be split. The wood should not be stored directly on the ground. Air should circulate through the cord. A 24" to 48" air space should be left between each row of logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location possible.
If you move it completely to the left, it is fully close. Your OSBURN stove burnt between .979 kg\h and 3.517 kg\h. of wood during EPA testing. Real operating conditions may give very different results than those obtained in the lab according to the species of wood used, its moisture content, the size and density of the pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature.
RELOADING Once you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air controls to maximum a few seconds prior to opening the stove's door. Then proceed by opening the door very slowly; open it one or two inches for 5 to 10 seconds, before opening it completely to increase the draught and thus eliminate the smoke which is stagnant in a state of slow combustion in the stove.
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 combustible materials, pending final disposal.
Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the stove if the glass is broken. • If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with glazing supplied from the OSBURN dealer.
Gold plating (tarnishing) / Brass plating not covered 1 year Shall your unit or a components be defective, contact immediately your OSBURN dealer. Prior to your call make sure you have the following information necessary to your warranty claim treatment: •...
