Optional) Fan Installation And Operation; Section 3.0 - Maintenance; Care And Cleaning - Osburn 1800 Owner's Manual

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. If the fire smolders without flame, re-establish a hotter fire before moving the air
control to the low setting. A yellow flame burning in the top of the firebox is a good indication
of a clean efficiently burning fire.
Refuelling technique is important for good performance. The best efficiency and performance
from your stove can be achieved by adding partial loads of fuel and allowing them to get up to
operating temperature before adding additional fuel. Adding a large amount of fuel at one time
will increase the time required to get the fuel up to its ignition temperature, and an extended
time to reach optimal performance. When refueling, open the air control or hold the door
partially open 1" (25 mm) or less long enough (less than 5 minutes) so that the fire has well
established flames. When refuelling, care is required to ensure that fuel or embers do not fall
out of the door opening. The unit will burn at about 2.0 to 2.5 lb/hr (.9 to 1.1kg/hr) at its
minimum setting; approximately 20 to 25 lbs (9 to 11.3kg) of wood are required for an
extended burn.

2.6 (Optional) Fan Installation and Operation

1. Allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour), before turning
on the fan, since increased airflow from the fan will remove heat and affect the start-up
combustion efficiency.

2. Turn the fan on or off with the two speed switch located on the fan housing. The switch
settings are High, Off, and Low.
3. Follow the installation instructions that are with the fan kit #OA10510.

Section 3.0 - Maintenance

3.1 Care And Cleaning

Clean the stove frequently so that soot, ash and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to
clean the stove, glass or door when the unit is hot. Special care must be taken with Gold
surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance. Do not use an abrasive glass
cleaner which will scratch the glass or gold finish. Use only a soft clean damp cloth on the
door, since some cleaners may remove the plating or paint.
