Draft Requirements HWAM 30/55 Wood Stove is only one component of the total system. The venting system is equally important for achieving the required fl ow of combustion air to the fi rebox and for safely removing unwanted combustion by-products from the appliance.
The chimney connector is a single or walled pipe used to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with the HWAM wood-burning stoves the chimney Firestop connector MUST be 6” in diameter, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black steel or 26 gauge blued...
No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic or roof space, closet or other concealed- space, or through a fl oor or ceiling. All sections of the chimney connectors must be accessible for cleaning. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation must conform with NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365.

From the factory the stove is prepared for top venting of the chimney connector, but all HWAM wood- burning stoves have an optional rear fl ue outlet, therefore the fl ue collar can be fi tted either on the top or at the rear as required.

Drill a 3/16” (5.2 mm) hole at the marks made from the 3 screws. . Screw the 3 screws through the holes in the pipe, so the pipe cannot be lifted of turned from the stove Screw Location (1 of 3 shown) Flue collar extension...

Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs Method A 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specifi cation for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent.
Page 15
Method C 6” (152.4 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Starting with a minimum 24 gage (.024” [.61 mm]) 6” (152.4 mm) metal chimney connector, and a minimum 24 gage ventilated wall thimble which has two air channels of 1 in. (25.4 mm) each, construct a wall pass-through.
Notes Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting method B, shall extend in one continuous section through the wall pass-through system and the chimney wall, to but not past the inner fl ue liner face. A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a fl oor, or ceiling.

WD40 (never oil). Skamol Skamol refractory plates are delivered in all HWAM wood-burning stoves. We recommend that you treat the Skamol refractory plates with care because it is a delicate material (not covered by the limited warranty).
FROM THE STOVE WHILE IT IS IN USE. Fueling the Stove Your HWAM wood stove is designed for burning dry natural well-seasoned wood only. Wood should be stored in a dry place for at least two years before being used for fuel. Some trees have very high moisture content and it is necessary to thoroughly dry the wood.

Skamol Refractory The effi cient, but porous Skamol refractory in the combustion chamber may, in time, be worn and damaged. Cracks in the Skamol will not affect the operation of the insert. However, the Skamol should be replaced when, due to wear and tear, it has been reduced to less than half its original thickness. Automatic Control System The control arm starting point on a cold insert is about 75°...

The use of any other glass is prohibited. When replacing the glass all gaskets must be installed correctly. Make note of the gasket locations as you take the door apart.
Creosote Formation and the Need for Removal When wood is burned at a low temperature it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled-moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney fl ue of a slow-burning fi re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates in the fl ue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot and dangerous fi...
