See table 1.1.2 below for installation instructions : 1- Position the overlay on the door frame and fix it in place from behind using the 4 screws supplied with the owner’s manual.

  • Page 6: Positioning The Stove

    POSITIONING THE STOVE It is very important to position the wood stove in an area that will favour the most efficient heat distribution throughout the house. The stove should therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood stove.

  • Page 14 If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code. It must be lined with fire clay bricks, or clay tiles, sealed together with fire cement, or have a listed solid fuel burning stainless steel liner. Round chimneys are the most efficient.

    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.

  • Page 24: Draft

    DRAFT Your E.P.A Enerzone 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 25: The Advantage Of Using A Blower (Fan)

    THE ADVANTAGE OF USING A BLOWER (FAN) A blower is installed at the back of your E.P.A Enerzone stove model Solution 3.4. The blower should be used 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 27: 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 28: 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 29: 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 30: 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 31: Maintaining The Fire

    Desired Intensity Draft Setting Push Control completely to end of travel toward the left. Medium Low Pull Control to the right by 3/8” from closed position. Medium High Pull Control by 3/4” to the right from closed position. High Pull Control completely to end of travel toward the right. 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 32: Fan (Blower) Operation

    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 33: Maintenance

    SECTION 4.0 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 34: 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 35: 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.

  • Page 36: Baffle Installation
