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.
The chimney is the engine that drives the wood-heating system. Use a chimney that is UL-listed, with an inner diameter to match the stove’s outlet collar (6” for all Drolet wood stoves);...

INSTALLATION SAFETY NOTICE • I F THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT O REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE BODILY INJURY OR EVEN DEATH •...
FLOOR PROTECTOR Your wood stove should be placed on a non-combustible surface with a R value of 1.0. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value. The floor protector should be under the stove, eighteen inches beyond the front and eight inches beyond each side of the fuel loading and ash removal opening.
It is of outmost importance that the clearances to combustible materials be scrupulously respected upon installation of the stove you have selected. Refer to the tables below : Single pipe / Double pipe Model AUSTRAL 23/24 16/17 13.7/12.7 34.9/35.9 27.9/28.9 BALTIC 12/12 8.5/8.5 12.7/12.7 23.9/23.9 20.4/20.4 LEGEND 12/12 8.5/8.5 12.7/12.7 23.9/23.9 20.4/20.4...
REDUCED CLEARANCES (CANADA ONLY) You may decrease the clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and can include sheet metal, a rigid non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall. Clearances of not less than 1"...
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.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE) Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove outlet. If this is not the case, we recommend you contact your dealer in order to insure there will be no problem with the draught. The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021"...
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR Your DROLET stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake which is necessary for a mobile home. This type of installation is also required in air tight houses and houses with negative pressure problems. You can purchase this option through your DROLET dealer.
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 push on it until it stops the combustion air is reduced to a minimum. Your DROLET stove burnt between .954 kg\h et 2.556 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.
USE OF THE BYPASS DAMPER Your stove is equipped with a bypass damper. This feature should be used, if needed, upon start-up of the stove to help heat-up the chimney faster. The bypass damper should be closed as soon as there is a fire going inside the firebox and smoke is moving upward through the exhaust system.

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. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the close container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
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 Drolet dealer.
