Page 14: Section 2.0 Chimney (Flue System)
SECTION 2.0 CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM) DEFINITIONS For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions: A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimne , which attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house. ... - Page 15 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 UL103 (USA) or ULCS629 (Canada) standards. It must therefore be a 6” (152mm) HT Type (2100°F) chimney. It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications.
-
Page 16: 2.2.1 Step By Step Installation Of Your Factory-Built Chimney
If an exterior chimney is used, the best results will be obtained by using a connector vertically off the unit to the highest possible point before elbowing off horizontally to the exterior chimney. For efficiency and safety reasons the stove must not be installed with an insulated chimney connected directly to the appliance. - Page 17 Chimney Suitable lengths of chimney (enough to go up to your roof) An adjustable wall support A wall thimble An adequate number of wall bands (one for every 8 feet of chimney, excluding the roof portion) ...
- Page 18 1- Start by positioning your stove where you would like it to go, taking into account the minimum clearances to combustible material. You will then be able to determine where the chimney will pass through the wall. You will probably have to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the studs.
- Page 19 4- Then, from outside the building, slide a short chimney length (attached to the tee) through the wall thimble. The chimney must extend at least 3 inches into the living space where it attaches to the stove pipe. 5- You can now install the wall support. Simply slide the wall support up to the tee, ensuring that the adapter on the support engages with the female coupler on the bottom of the tee.
- Page 20 passes through the roof of a building and not less than 2 feet above any portion of the building within 10 feet. If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof deck, roof guys with telescoping legs and draw bands are required. 8- Finally, twist on your rain cap and you can head back inside.
- Page 21 Ceiling support system If your chimney must rise inside the house and go through the ceiling, you need to connect it to your stove at the ceiling level. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required : Chimney ...
- Page 22 FIGURE 2.2.1 (B) Typical Installation Through the Ceiling 1. Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to mark the ceiling directly above your stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the joists.
- Page 23 4. Once the support is secure, you can begin to assemble the chimney by lowering the first section into the support. Make sure that the male coupler is pointing upwards, as indicated by the arrow on the chimney label. 5. Then, from beneath the support, insert the stove pipe adapter and twist-lock it into place. 6.
- Page 24 7. Once you have cut through your roof and framed the joists, it is time to work outdoors. Authorities require that the chimney extend not less than 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof of a building and not less that 2 feet above any portion of the building within 10 feet.

Page 25: 2.2.2 Typical Installation Through An Existing Masonry Chimney
2.2.2 Typical installation through an existing masonry chimney You can also install your stove using your existing masonry chimney. To do so, follow the guidelines below. You may want to use a factory-built thimble, on construct your own brick thimble. If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code in your region. - Page 26 FIGURE 2.2.2 (B) Factory Built Thimble...

Page 28: Chimney Connector
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR Your chimney connector (commonly called stove pipe) and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove’s exhaust outlet. The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum 24-gauge thickness (0.021" or 0.53 mm). It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel. The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney connector: ... - Page 29 FIGURE 2.3 (A) Connecting Sections FIGURE 2.3 (B) Minimum Slope We recommend that you use two 45 degree elbows instead Avoid 90 degree eblows...

Page 30: Outside Combustion Air
DRAFT Your E.P.A Flame stove’s performance will be optimised if it is installed with a chimney (flue) system that provides an adequate draft. The 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, as well as the stack temperatures of the stove. - Page 31 2- Put the back pedestal shield in place using the 4 screws. 3- Connect a flexible insulated pipe to the 3” (76mm) spigot on the back pedestal shield. Secure the pipe using pipe clamps. The complete fresh air kit is available at your Flame dealer.

Page 32: The Advantage Of Installing A Blower
THE ADVANTAGE OF INSTALLING A BLOWER A blower can be installed at the back of your E.P.A Flame stove. This option is necessary if you wish to redistribute into a room the heat trapped at the back of your stove. By forcing hot air toward the front, the blower enables you to extend the radiation and convection power of your stove. -
Page 33: Operation
SECTION 3.0 OPERATION Keep these instructions for future reference. WARNING: ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE CSA B365 ( ANSI NFPA TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED AS BREACHING CANADA 211 (USA). DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE ... -
Page 34: Safety Information
Misuse is not covered by warranty. Even though your E.P.A Flame 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. -
Page 35: Fuel
Fuel for the stove must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles (heat sensitive materials). NEVER STORE WOOD IN THE ASH PAN COMPARTMENT. Your E.P.A Flame stove is designed to burn . Do not burn coal, charcoal, or trash in the WOOD ONLY unit. -
Page 36: 3.2.1 The Use Of Manufactured Logs
Decorative fireplaces generally have larger, cooler, and less air-tight fireboxes. Your E.P.A Flame stove, on the other hand, has a smaller, completely sealed firebox which attains much higher temperatures. It is therefore not designed to support excessive heat caused by the addition of chemicals in manufactured logs. -
Page 37: 3.2.2 Simple Wood Moisture Test
3.2.2 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 about three minutes or more, it is damp. -
Page 38: Maintaining The Fire
Your E.P.A Flame 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. -
Page 39: Blower Operation
BLOWER OPERATION Allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour), before turning on the fan. The increased airflow from the fan will cool the firebox and affect the start-up combustion efficiency if the fan is turned on too quick. It is possible to have an automatic activation of the blower with the installation of a thermodisc kit. -
Page 40: Maintenance
Do not use the stove if the glass is broken. If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with a glass supplied by your E.P.A Flame dealer. To replace the glass, remove the screws retaining the glass retainers inside the door. Remove the mouldings and replace the damaged piece with a new one. -
Page 41: Gasketing
Carefully clean the gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this purpose, and install the new gasket. Use only the genuine Flame gasket. You may light up your stove again approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation. -
Page 42: Chimney (Flue) Cleaning
If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Call a professional chimney sweep, or go to your local E.P.A Flame dealer, purchase a chimney brush, and have the chimney cleaned. -
