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.
Section 1.0 - Installation The Osburn Model 2400 is a freestanding space heater. If used and installed according to this instruction manual this stove is designed for safe operation. Altering or modifying the unit or the installation without proper authorization will void the certification, warranty, and safety listing. This may also result in a safety hazard.
Note: If outside air for combustion is to be used it should be provided for at this time. This requires that the Osburn Fresh Air Kit Wood (#OA10500) be installed (refer to the installation instructions which are provided in the outside air kit. Install the unit.
1.5.2 Components Note: All connector and manufactured chimney components must be Listed Components. Masonry Chimneys must be Code Complying, and have a listed solid fuel burning liner (of stainless steel or clay refractory construction). 1.5.2.1 Factory Built Chimney System The following are the generic components required for a factory built chimney system for residential installations: Chimney –...
1.5.3.1 Connectors The minimum connector diameter is 6" (152 mm). A minimum connector length of 4 ft (1.22 m) is recommended for best results. Restrictions to stack gas flow (such as using more than two 90 elbows) should be avoided and any horizontal runs should be kept to a minimum length, especially with short chimneys.
When connecting to a factory built chimney, ensure that it is installed according to the manufacturer's listed instructions. If using an existing chimney, inspect and clean the chimney if required (this should be done by a licensed chimney sweep or a qualified professional). Figure 1.3 –...
1.5.3.4 Draft Your Osburn stove will attain its best performance if installed with a chimney system that has proper draft. (Draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up through the chimney and is predominantly affected by the height and diameter of the chimney, and the stack temperatures of the stove). If you test the draft using a pressure gauge, the reading should be between .05 - .07 inches of water column (w.c.) at a medium...

Misuse is not covered by warranty. Even though your Osburn has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimise the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft of flame or smoke into the room.
Fuel for the stove must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles and not in the space required for charging and ash removal. Your Osburn stove is designed to burn . Do not burn coal, charcoal, or trash ORDWOOD in the unit.
2.2.1 Simple Wood Moisture Test Add one large piece of wood to the top of an established fire. If it starts to burn on three sides. Within one minute, it is dry and seasoned and right for burning. If it turns black and starts to burn. In three minutes, it is damp.
2.5 Maintaining The Fire Your Osburn stove will work best if a thick bed of hot embers is maintained in the bottom of the firebox, and a minimum of two large pieces of seasoned fuel are added. Combustion efficiency is largely related to establishing a hot ember bed, and hot firebox temperatures.
Extended burn times can be accomplished by first operating the stove on a full load with the air inlet controls wide open. Once the fire is well established, and the moisture has been driven out of the wood, reduce the air control to a low setting. The unit should then burn cleanly without smoldering.
3.1.1 Glass Cleaning Under normal operation the glass is designed to stay clean. Glass cleaning may be required when burning damp wood and/or when burning slow fires. In general if the glass is not staying clean then the unit is being under fired. Dirty glass may be self cleaned by burning a hot fire (i.e. dry wood and opened draft controls) for a couple of hours.
Osburn dealer. Your Osburn stove has been designed to reduce the amount of creosote produced. Even so, the chimney connector pipe and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred.
