Page 11: Ovation Operating Instructions
OVATION OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FUEL Your Ovation Stove should be fueled with seasoned cordwood. Hardwoods will provide more energy per pound of wood because of higher density than softwoods. If hardwoods are utilized to fuel your appliance, the results will be a longer burning fire that requires less frequent refueling. It is recommended that whether hardwood or softwood is used, the moisture content of the wood should not exceed 20%. -
Page 12: Combustion Control
lighter. Hold the door slightly ajar until a good flame is established (2 or 3 minutes). Close the door to the stove once the newspaper is well ignited. As soon as the kindling fire is established, you can add cordwood. It is recommended that cordwood be placed inside the firebox from front to back (that is the fuel should have its longest dimension perpendicular to the door) and not crisscrossed or placed crossways in the firebox. -
Page 13: High Burn Mode
HIGH BURN MODE The maximum heat output can be obtained from your Ovation Stove by operating the firebox with a full load of wood, the door closed, and the combustion air control fully open. This high burn mode ensures an extremely hot fire while generating the maximum heat output. The Ovation line of stoves can produce a maximum range of between 60,000 to 70,000 BTU of heat per hour, depending on the model being burned. -
Page 14: Low Burn Mode
FIGURE 3: MEDIUM BURN AIR DAMPER SETTING To establish proper medium combustion burn mode, close the combustion air damper completely and then set the combustion air damper somewhere between the ¼ to ½ closed setting. The firebox should contain at least several medium size pieces of wood burning on a bed of hot coals. The Ovation Stove heat output will be between 30,000 and 50,000 BTU per hour in the medium combustion burn mode. -
Page 15: Smoking - Causes
operating efficiency. To obtain this firebox temperature after reloading of wood, the Ovation should be operated with the combustion air control fully open for a minimum of 15 to 30 minutes. Again, the time will vary depending on the room heat, moisture content of the wood and the type of wood being burned. - Page 16 5. Blocked Chimney The chimney serves as an exit for all gases created during the burn process. Blockage (heavy soot, dirt, or debris) of either the chimney or the air intake port may make the Ovation Stove operate improperly or render it unusable. Always ensure, prior to the heating season, that a qualified chimney sweep or stove service technician has checked the stove, chimney, and any outside air intake system for proper operation.
-
Page 17: Important Notes
IMPORTANT NOTES 1. Never use gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or other flammable liquids to start a fire. 2. Do not burn coal. The sulfur in coal will corrode the firebox. 3. Do not burn ocean driftwood or other waterlogged wood. The salt will corrode the firebox and chimney. -
Page 18: Maintaining An Ovation Stove
MAINTAINING AN OVATION STOVE CREOSOTE When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form a black deposit called creosote. Creosote is unspent fuel. Creosote is an indication of improper operation of the stove, improper fuel or high moisture content, improper combustion airflow, or improper installation. -
Page 19: Gold Door Care
4. Always use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking soda, or sand to control the fire. Do not use water as it may cause a dangerous steam explosion. 5. Inspect outside the house to ensure that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting the roof or any adjacent building or property. -
Page 20: Firebrick Replacement
FIREBRICK REPLACEMENT The intense repetitive heat inside the Ovation firebox will normally cause hairline cracks in the firebrick. Proper curing as described in “first fires” will minimize these cracks and extend the life of the Ovation firebrick. Small cracks will not normally diminish the effectiveness of the firebrick; however, if large cracks develop in the firebrick, replace them. - Page 21 FIGURE 6c: OVATION MODEL 2600 FIREBRICK SYSTEM BACK FLOOR BRICK PART NO.

Page 23: Door Installation
DOOR INSTALLATION The Ovation door has been mounted and checked for proper fit at the factory. If the door is removed for any reason, care must be taken in reinstalling the door to ensure proper alignment and fit. Setting the door is quite simple. Ensure the door is in the fully open position. Once done, align the female portion of the door hinge with the male portion of the stove hinge. -
Page 24: Glass Replacement
DO NOT use abrasives such as steel wool or powder abrasives as they will permanently damage the glass. Once the glass has been scratched, complete replacement of the glass will be required. Use only approved 1400 degree Fahrenheit (°F) high temperature stove ceramic glass to replace any cracked or broken glass. -

Page 48: How It Works
HOW IT WORKS FIGURE 27: OVATION WOOD-BURNING COMBUSTION SYSTEM WOOD COMBUSTION BASICS FIGURE 27, above, shows the process by which dry seasoned wood is turned into heat in the Ovation stove. The following information provides some wood combustion basics. understanding of this process will ensure a lifetime of satisfaction from your Ovation stove. Proper care and maintenance will ensure that the Ovation stove requires minimal maintenance while providing maximum heating comfort for your environment. - Page 49 Based on an understanding of FIGURE 28, it is obvious that properly seasoned dry hardwood provides greater heat energy than moist, green, or softwood. The heat released during the burn process thoroughly warms the firebox, thus sustaining combustion. An Ovation’s firebox temperature can approach 2000 Fahrenheit as complete combustion of the exhaust gases occurs.
- Page 50 “burn out” because the combustion chamber will drop below the critical “ignition temperature” required to ensure the release of volatile gases from the wood. Seasoned wood, because of its dryness and low burning temperature will ensure an ample supply of volatile and carbon matters available for a continued burn process.
