The 1600C-1 was specifi cally designed over many months of research to meet the 1990 U.S.A. EPA particulate emission
standards and has been extensively tested in Canadian laboratories. This system is the most effi cient, simple and trouble free
we know and works as follows:
The 1600C-1 is designated as a continuous wood burning heating appliance having a combustion chamber enclosed with cast
brick walls where all fuel is meant to be burnt on the bottom of the combustion chamber. It is a top and rear vented appliance
capable of being installed near a wall. It has an adjustable air control for controlling the burning rate as well as a large ash-pan.
NOTE: The following items supplied with the appliance must be removed from the fi rebox before attempting to
operate the appliance : door handle tool, ash fender and installation hardware. After removing the appliance from the
pallet, use the screws (supplied with the appliance) to install the heat shield to the base of the appliance.
The 1600C-1 is designed to be operated with both the main and ash door closed. The heat produced is mainly transmitted
through the window and the body of the appliance. Combustion occurs on the bottom of the combustion chamber with a draft
entry through the top of the combustion chamber. Be sure to provide suffi cient combustion air. There are many other appliances
in your home competing for air such as : a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices
or a bathroom exhaust fan. Expansion/contraction noises during heating up and cooling
down cycles are normal and to be expected. After extended periods of non-operation such
as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a slight odour
for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the fi rebox burning off. Open a window to
suffi ciently ventilate the room.
If the outside air feature of the appliance is utilized, you will never experience a shortage
of combustion air. If you choose not to utilize outside air and experience draft or smoking
problems, you may need to open a door or window.
