  • Page 15: Chimney (Flue System)

    CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM) 2.1 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 16 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 17: 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 18 Typical installation through the wall Wall support system If your chimney must rise along an outside wall, you need to connect it to your stove through an adjacent wall. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required : Chimney ...
  • Page 19 Typical installation through the ceiling 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 20: 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 21 FIGURE 2.2.2 (B) Factory Built Thimble...
  • Page 22 FIGURE 2.2.2 (C) Brick Thimble...
  • Page 23: 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 24 FIGURE 2.3 (B) Minimum Slope  The assembly should be as short and direct as possible between the stove and chimney (See figure 2.4 (A)). The use of two 45 degree elbows (See figure 2.4 (C)) is often preferable to a single 90 degree elbow (See figure 2.4 (B)) because less turbulence is created in the exhaust flow and they result in less horizontal run.
  • Page 25: Draft

    It is recommended to install 5’’ outside air intake in the room where the stove is located or nearby. Solution 1.6 & 1.8 models are mobile home approved. For this type of installation, it’s mandatory to use and install an outside air intake connected directly to the stove (pedestal models only).
  • Page 26: The Advantage Of Installing A Blower (Fan)

    THE ADVANTAGE OF INSTALLING A BLOWER (FAN) A blower can be installed at the back of your E.P.A Enerzone 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.

    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 28: Safety Information

     Do not abuse the unit, either by over firing or by using wood or combustibles with salt content, or harmful chemicals. Misuse is not covered by warranty.  Even though your E.P.A Enerzone 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 29: 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 Enerzone stove is designed to burn . Do not burn coal, charcoal, or trash in WOOD ONLY the unit.
  • Page 30: The Use Of Manufactured Logs

    Decorative fireplaces generally have larger, cooler, and less air-tight fireboxes. Your E.P.A Enerzone 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 31: 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 32: Damper Operation

    Intensity Draft Setting Push Control to end of travel. Medium Low Pull Control by 3/8” from closed position. Medium High Pull Control by 3/4” from closed position High Pull Control to end of travel. Table 3.4 Closing the draft control down too soon will lower combustion efficiency, and may result in creosote build-up in the chimney (which could lead to a future chimney fire).
  • Page 33: Maintaining The Fire

    Your E.P.A Enerzone 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 34: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE CLEANING AND PAINTING YOUR STOVE Clean the stove frequently so that soot, ash, and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean the stove when the unit is hot. Special care must be taken with plated surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance.
  • Page 35: Gasketing

    Carefully clean the gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this purpose, and install the new gasket. Use only the genuine Enerzone gasket. You may light up your stove again approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation.
  • Page 36: Chimney (Flue) Cleaning

    When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire which could be hazardous. Your E.P.A Enerzone stove has been designed to reduce the amount of creosote produced. Even so, the chimney and any chimney connector should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred.
