  • Page 10: The Sbi Commitment To You And The Environment

    Eldorado Installation and Operation Manual The smoke released from wood when it is heated contains about half of the energy content of the fuel. By burning the wood completely, your stove releases all the heat energy from the wood instead of wasting it as smoke up the chimney. Also, the features inside the firebox allow you to reduce the air supply to control heat output, while maintaining clean and efficient flaming combustion, which boosts the efficient delivery of heat to your home.

  • Page 18: Ash Removal

    Eldorado Installation and Operation Manual 4.4.2 Ash Removal Ash should be removed from the firebox every two or three days of full time heating. Do not let the ash build up in the firebox because it will interfere with proper fire management. The best time to remove ash is after an overnight fire when the stove is relatively cool, but there is still some chimney draft to draw the ash dust into the stove and prevent it from coming into the room.

    Eldorado Installation and Operation Manual Although it is important to fire each new load hot to prepare for a clean burn, do not allow the fire to burn at full intensity for more than a few minutes. DO NOT LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHILE A NEW LOAD IS BEING FIRED HOT.
  • Page 20 Eldorado Installation and Operation Manual 4.4.6.1 Small Fires to Take the Chill Off the House To build a small fire that will produce a low heat output, use small pieces of firewood and load them crisscross in the firebox. The pieces should be only 3” to 4” in diameter. After raking the coals, you can lay two pieces parallel to each other corner to corner in the firebox and lay two more across them in the other direction.

  • Page 24: Replacing The Door Gasket

    Eldorado Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.3 Replacing the Door Gasket It is important to maintain the gasket in good condition.

  • Page 26: Cleaning The Chimney

    Eldorado Installation and Operation Manual It is recommended to clean thoroughly the chimney system at the end of every heating season.

This tendency of warm air to rise creates a slight pressure difference in the house. Called ‘stack effect’, it produces a slightly negative pressure low in the house (relative to outside) and a slightly positive pressure zone high in the house.
