Y

our Heartland Cookstove is a time proven design of

North American heritage. Our cookstoves were rst

made in 1906 and many originals are still in use today.

With proper operation and maintenance, your Heartland

cookstove will give your family generations of warmth, delightful

meals and untold pleasures.

Take the opportunity to read this manual thoroughly to become

familiar with all the installation, operation and maintenance

procedures for your stove. You will nd it offers valuable insight

into how a cookstove functions.

Save These Instructions

Keep the manual available for future reference. The manual

is an important part of your stove. If your stove is sold, deliver

the manual to the new owner along with the stove.

The quality of the installation (especially the chimney connector

and chimney), and the quality of the fuel being burned will

affect the performance of your stove, but the most important

factor is the way you operate the stove. With the help of this

manual, you will learn how to effectively heat and cook with

your stove. Be sure to read it entirely, including the terms of

reference and function.

In addition, your own experience will help you to learn the

role that the chimney plays in stove performance. The Oval &

Sweetheart have been tested and are listed by Underwriters’

Laboratories of Canada and Underwriters’ Laboratories in the

U.S. The test standards are ULC S-627 and UL 1482.

The Oval & Sweetheart are listed for burning wood or coal

(with the optional coal grate). Do not burn other fuels. The

Oval & Sweetheart are not listed for installation in mobile

homes. Do not install the stove in mobile homes.

Safety Notice: If your stove is not properly installed and

maintained, a house re may result. For your safety, follow

all installation, operation and maintenance directions.

Contact local building ofcials about restrictions and

installation inspection requirements in your area.

(“Makeshift” compromises in the installation may result

in hazardous conditions, including a house re.)

Spend some time becoming familiar with the various parts by

operating them before you burn your stove.

After a few weeks of operating the stove re-read this manual.

Many of the procedures will become clearer after you have

had some experience with the stove.

Installation Instructions

Preparing the installation site before moving the stove into it

will save you from having to move the stove more than once.

See page 9 for information on “Clearances” and “Floor

Protection” page 13.

Installation

Be sure to read the sections on clearances, oor protection,

and chimneys before actively starting the installation. Contact

local building or re ofcials about restrictions and

installation in your area.

Clearances

A woodburning stove radiates heat in all directions. Heat

directed toward living areas in front of the stove is usually

very welcome.

However, heat radiating in other directions will not be as

welcome if it results in overheating nearby walls, ceilings

and oors.

An important part of planning a safe installation is to be sure

that combustible material located near your stove does not

overheat.

Clearance is the distance between your stove and stovepipe

and nearby walls, ceilings, and oors.

If there is adequate clearance, then the nearby surfaces will

not overheat.

The clearance distance should be empty except for non-

combustible heat shields.

(Continued on page 10)

Air owing between the stove and stovepipe and nearby

surfaces carries away heat.

Do not ll the empty space with any insulating material.

Be aware that as wood is exposed to continuous heat it dries

out, eventually lowering the temperature at which it will start

on re.

Maintain the clearances outlined in this manual, particularly

with respect to nearby combustible surfaces.

Your Heartland cookstove has been tested for safe operation

providing that these guidelines are followed.

Clearances must be maintained to all

combustible material. These include

doors, trim, furniture, drapes, newspapers

and clothes.

An optional heat shield kit is available for our woodstoves

for reduced clearances. See page 14 on “Heat Shield Kit”

*Note: A chimney approved to ULC standard S629 in Canada or UL 103HT in the U.S. must be used to connect the smokepipe at

the top of the cabinet to maintain the 2” (5.08cm) clearance to combustibles. The approved chimney must extend 1” (2.54cm) below

the heatshield. PLEASE NOTE: That these are factory recommended clearances only, and are subject to local, provincial or state

building and re codes. These clearances may change without notice

Figure 3

Illustration showing minimum heights required,

depending on the location of chimney

The chimney ‘drives’ the system by producing the draft that

draws in combustion air and exhausts smoke and gases to

outdoors.

When installing a new woodburning system or upgrading an

existing one, give as much attention to the chimney as you

do to the appliance that it serves.

The Oval and Sweetheart can be installed in a masonry

chimney which is in compliance with the appropriate standard

or a prefabricated chimney approved to ULC Standard S629

in Canada and UL 103HT in the U.S.

Follow the chimney manufacturer’s directions for installation.

We recommend that prior to installing your stove into a

masonry chimney, you have the chimney inspected by a

be used without the installation of a liner.

The chimney and installation will have to be inspected by

your local building inspector.

Recommended Chimney Clearances

The chimney must:

• extend at least 14 ft. (4.27m) above the collar of the

stove;

• extend at least 3 ft. (92 cm) above the point where it

passes through the roof;

• be at least 2 ft. above anything within a 10 ft. (3.048m)

radius of the top of the pipe.

Good draft in a cold chimney should be between 0.01” and

0.15” “water column” (your dealer may be able to check

this for you).

10'

(3 metres)

36" (900 mm)

Clearance Reductions

There are many alternate decorative methods to reduce

clearances to combustible materials. See your dealer,

standards are being met with these alternatives. In Canada,

refer to the Installation Code for Solid Fuel Appliances

and Equipment. CAN3-B365-M84. In the U.S., refer to the

National Fire Protection Association Standard 211,

Floor Protection

Chimneys and Draft

The chimney is the most important element of successful

stove operation. (See also page 26 “Flue Pipes”)

Performance of your woodburning system depends more

on the chimney than on any other single component.

-

Pad must extend 21” (534mm) in front of the stove in

Canada and 18” (458mm) in front of stove in U.S.

Pad must extend 8” (203mm) to the sides and back of the

stove.

Pad must extend fully to the wall if using side and back

clearances less than these dimensions.

Optional Accessories

Accessories may be obtained from your dealer or call us

direct at 800-223-3900. Our ofce hours are from 8:30 a.m.

to 5:00 p.m. est

Heat Shield Kit

A space saving heat shield kit enables you to install your

cookstove as close as 2” (51mm) to a combustible wall!

Installation is Easy

The heat shield kit is available for both Oval and Sweetheart

cookstoves and mounts directly on the rear of the stove. The

main section of the shield covers the rebox and oven of the

cookstove, while the upper section covers the u pipe to the

height of the warming cabinet.(See illustration, Fig. 4.)

An installation and operating manual is packed with every Oval

and Sweetheart heat shield kit. Extra copies may be obtained

from your dealer or by contacting AGA Marvel.

Stovepipe Chimney

Connection Requirements

1. The stovepipe chimney connector should be made of 24

gauge or thicker sheet metal and should be 6” in (15.24

cm) diameter.

2. The last section of the chimney connector starting from

the stove should be screwed to the ue collar of the stove.

Individual sections of the chimney connector must be

screwed together with at least three sheet metal screws.

The last section should be securely attached to the

chimney. Be sure there are no “weak links” in the system.

3. The crimped ends of pipe sections should point downward

toward the stove so that any soot or creosote that falls

from the inside of the pipe will be funnelled into a clean

out or fall into the stove.

4. The chimney connector should be at least the height of

the warming cabinet before a 90 degree turn is installed,

with no more than two 90 degree turns.

5. A horizontal run of stovepipe should be no longer than 4

ft (1.22m). A vertical run of stovepipe to a prefabricated

metal chimney should be no longer than 8 ft (2.44m).

6. Do not pass the stovepipe chimney connector through

a combustible wall if it can be avoided. If this cannot

be avoided, follow the recommended in CSA B365 in

Canada and NFPA 211 in the U.S., recommendation on

Wall Pass-Throughs.

7. Do not use single wall smokepipe as an outside chimney.

8. Never pass stovepipe chimney connector through a

combustible ceiling.

9. The whole chimney connector should be exposed and

accessible for inspection and cleaning.

10. Galvanized stovepipe should not be used. When exposed

to the temperatures reached by smoke and exhaust gases,

galvanized pipe may release toxic fumes.

11. Horizontal runs of chimney connector should slope upward

1/4” (6.35 mm) per foot going from the stove toward the

chimney.

12. During a chimney re, the chimney connector may vibrate

violently. The connector must be securely attached to

the pipe and chimney, and individual sections must be

securely attached together.

13. This stove is not to be connected to an air distribution

duct.

15

Fresh Air Kit

A fresh air kit enables you to use outside air, instead of room

air to fuel the re. Using an outside source for combustion air

has its advantages. If your home is tight and well insulated,

then the re in the stove may be “starved” of combustible air,

it will be difcult maintaining a re, and you may have back

drafting problems.

During the heating season, cold air, (which is more dense than

warm air), will cause the re to burn a little hotter, resulting

in more BTU’s from your wood, and less creosote build-up.

Installation is Easy

Mounting holes and airways are all pre-punched on all new

Oval and Sweetheart cookstoves.(See gure 5)

Simply remove the cover plates (right side of rebox on the

Oval and, bottom of the rebox on Sweetheart). Now you

are ready for installation. A complete set of diagrams and

instructions are included with each fresh air kit.

Please note that some States require a fresh air source to be

installed with wood burning appliances. Please check your

local, and state, building codes.

Water Jacket

The average family spent about one quarter of their utility

bill to heat water last year. By installing the water jacket in

your cookstove, you can reduce or virtually eliminate your

hot water utility bill.

Installation is Easy

The water jacket can be installed in the stove in less than a

minute using only a slot screwdriver. The water jacket is a

hollow bafed chamber that ts in the rebox. Two pipes and

a pump installed from the water jacket to the electric or gas

water heater, circulate heated water from the stove to the

storage tank. (See illustration, Fig. 6.)

You can expect from 8 to 10 gallons (30.3 to 37.9L) or more

hot water per hour (about 10,000 BTUs) from your oval water

jacket, OR 6 to 8 gallons (22.7 to 30.3L) (about 8,000 BTUs)

from your Sweetheart water jacket.

Because cold water cools the water jacket in the rebox,

creosote will be attracted to its cool surface, like humidity being

attracted to a cold window. These deposits will quickly burn off

thus reducing creosote formation in the stove and chimney.

An installation and operating manual is packed with every Oval

and Sweetheart water jacket. Extra copies may be obtained

from your dealer or by contacting AGA Marvel.

Charcoal: As the re progresses and

most of the gases have vaporized,

charcoal remains. Charcoal is

almost 100% carbon and burns with

very little ame or smoke. Charcoal

is a good fuel that burns easily and

cleanly when enough oxygen is

present. Of the total energy content

of the wood you burn, about half is

in the form of smoke, and half is

charcoal.

Water: Up to half the weight of

freshly cut logs is water. After

proper seasoning only about 20%

of the weight is water. As the wood

is heated in the rebox, this water

boils off, consuming heat energy in

the wood, the more heat energy is

consumed. That is why wet wood

hisses and sizzles while dry wood

ignites and burns easily.

Break-in Fires for New Stoves

If this is your rst re, OR you have installed a replacement set of brick, read the procedure for break-in res.

Proper seasoning ensures longer stove life.

Fuel

Woodburning

The rewood you use will make an important contribution to successful operation. You will achieve the best performance

and overall efciency by burning rewood that has been split, stacked and air-dried undercover from rain for at least one

year. Burning improperly seasoned or “green” wood can be a frustrating experience leading to poor performance, smoky

res and a build-up of creosote. Do not burn saltwater driftwood refuse, rubber tires, etc. Use of improper fuels can cause a

re hazard and lead to a premature deterioration of the stove components, voiding the warranty. (See Fig. 7 Understanding

Combustion.)

Burn dry wood because:

• it gives up to 25% higher efciency;

• it produces less creosote;

• it ignites faster and smokes less;

• valuable heat is lost in the re as it dries out wet wood.

Figure 7

Understanding Combustion

Smoke (or ame): As the wood

heats up above the boiling point

of water, it starts to smoke. The

hydrocarbon gases and tars that

make up the smoke are combustible

if the temperature is high enough and

oxygen is present. When the smoke

burns, it makes the bright ames that

are characteristic of a wood re. If the

smoke does not burn, it will condense

in the chimney forming creosote or

exit the chimney as air pollution.

Getting Acquainted

The Sweetheart and Oval cookstove are time proven heating

and cooking appliances. Take your time to acquaint yourself

with the principles on which your new stove operates as a

heater and cooking stove.

Understanding the primary principles of the air intake

controls, the oven damper, the ame path for the re and the

relationship to the chimney will give you a very comprehensive

understanding of what you are trying to accomplish with the

stove.

Before starting the stove, lift the key plate handle and rest

the arm in the top hook of the cabinet bracket. Open both

the top loading and ash pan doors. The doors open by lifting

slightly over the hook and pulling towards you. Always use the

lid lifter to open doors and bell dampers and when adjusting

the oven damper.

In the Oval, looking into the rebox through the top you

see cast iron liners, these liners rest on an oval refractory

rebrick.

In the Sweetheart, looking into the rebox through the top

you will see rebrick liners on the left and right side of the

rebox.

At the bottom of the rebox is the wood grate, looking in through

the ash pan door, you will see the wood grate pull—slide it

back and forth and looking down into the rebox you will see

the slots open and close.

The stove is burned with the slots open which allows the

combustion air to enter underneath the re. As ash and

coals build up on the grate these slots ll and will require the

occasional “shaking”.

It is a good policy to shake the grate or stir the coals with the

poker before loading a new charge of wood.

You will notice that with the ash door closed the ash ap

may be lifted to access the wood grate pull without having

to open the door.

Burning skid wood or construction materials with nails is not

recommended as anything in the rebox that will not burn

has the potential to get caught in the grate.

The ash pan is directly below the grate.

Starting the Stove

Good safety practices:

Educate your family members:

• before burning the stove, have each family member read

this manual and be aware of safety practices;

• keep children, clothing and furniture away from the

stove;

• the stove is HOT while in operation – DO NOT TOUCH

the stove, contact may cause burns;

• open the redoor, ash pan door, woodgrate pull, bell

dampers and oven damper with the 1415 lid lifter

only—these surfaces get hot; (see gure 8)

Slots open and close

• keep a re extinguisher nearby and have a clearly

understood plan on how to extinguish a re.

Break-In Fire

(Refer to page 16 gure 7)

The rebox of your stove is made of superior materials—cast

iron and rebrick lining.

Both materials could be broken by a sharp blow or thermal

shock. A little extra care and thoughtfulness during the break-

in period will help promote a long life for your stove.

The cast iron and rebrick will have picked up moisture during

shipping and storage.

During the break-in period it is important to let the cast iron

and rebrick slowly dry out and avoid thermal shock, caused

by strong hot res.

• Build a small kindling re (following the instructions below

for the rst re) and add small pieces of kindling. Let the

stove burn for approximately one hour on the rst ring.

• Let the stove cool keeping the doors closed.

• Repeat the process for a few days or until you have had

six break-in res. You may notice some smoke or “burnoff”

during your initial ring. This is normal and is caused by

the curing of the paint nish.

Your First Fire

It is advisable to read and understand this section thoroughly

before starting the re (Refer to page 16 gure 7)

1. Open the oven damper (see Fig. 8 and 9) and air intake

controls (bell dampers). On damp cold days, it may help

to open the ash door slightly until a good draw develops

in the chimney.

2. To kindle a re. Lift the key plate lift handle and rest it

in the top slot of the closet bracket. Crumple six to eight

single sheets of newspaper into loose balls and place

them on the wood grate. Cut 10-15 pieces of kindling into

strips approximately 1/2” by 1/2” by 10” long (1.27 cm by

1.27 cm by 25.4 cm).

Place the kindling on the newspaper. Place 2 or 3 more

pieces of crumpled newspaper on top of the kindling.

Ensure that the wood grate slides are open.

Lighting the ‘charge’ is of your personal preference. One

method is to roll a piece of newspaper into a torch, lighting

one end and using it to start the paper.

Light the paper at the bottom of the load and then light

the paper at the top, shut the key plate immediately. You

may nd it helps to hold the key plate open just slightly

for a few seconds to give some extra air and establish

the re.

3. To Fuel the Fire. After a couple of minutes lift the key plate

or open the front loading door slowly. When the kindling

is established add larger pieces, perhaps 2”x2”x10” (5

cm by 5 cm by 25.4 cm) long.

Continue this process until the re is established when

split logs can be added.

Dampering the stove. Tighten the bell dampers to

approximately 1/4” (6.35 mm) opening. This will slow

the re down. Wait momentarily and close the oven

damper.

The smoke and heat is now being routed around the oven.

Remember, by closing the oven damper resistance has

been put on the system.

If the stove/chimney is not yet heated enough or there

is too much volume of re going through, this additional

resistance will cause backpufng.

Close the oven damper slowly (Fig. 9) to allow the oven

ue chamber to absorb the smoke and heat.

4. Reloading the stove—Stove tending time will be greatly

reduced if you reload your stove while the system is still

hot and there is plenty of hot embers to rekindle the re

quickly. Including some smaller pieces of wood in the new

fuel load will help the stove regain temperatures quickly.

When reloading, open the oven damper and wait

momentarily—if loading from the top—slowly lift the key

plate or if loading from the front, open the door slowly.

Load wood—smaller, split pieces rst.

Close the door or key plate.

Open the bell dampers slightly.

The stove must rebuild its thermal momentum before

closing the oven damper.

As you become more experienced you will gain knowledge

on what settings of bell dampers and oven dampers can

be used at the different stages of the woodburning cycle

(see Combustion Process, page 16 gure 7).

Summer Burning

Both Oval and Sweetheart stoves feature a utility which allows

you to use your stove during the summer months with less

heat radiating from the rebox.

Oval:

1. Slide the wood grate from the lower rebox position and

remove the wood grate slide.

2. Set the wood grate on top of the rebrick. You are now

ready for summer cooking.

Sweetheart:

To use the summer position in the SweetHeart you will need

to purchase the optional #4271 summer grate support. Call

your dealer to order, or call direct to AGA Marvel.

1. Remove the wood grate from the lower rebox position by

pulling the grate up, back end rst, and out of the rebox.

2. Remove the wood grate slide from the wood grate. Place

the “summer position wood grate stand” at the back of

the rebox on the rebox extension.

3. Place the re grate so the back of the re grate rests on

the stand, and the front rests on the top of the front brick.

You are now ready for summer cooking.

Coal Burning

Do not burn coal on the wood grate. An optional coal grate kit

is available for the Oval (#1500) and the SweetHeart (#4500)

to burn coal. An installation and operating manual is packed

with every Oval and Sweetheart Coal Kit. Extra copies may

be obtained from your dealer or by contacting AGA Marvel.

Below is a brief description of the coal kit installation

Sweetheart Coal Grate Installation

To install the optional coal grates, remove the lift handle, the

key plate and lids. Lift the wood grate out through the top of

the rebox and replace it with the coal grate. Remove small

front brick in rebox by unscrewing bolt & nut that holds brick

in place. (Please note that older models require front re brick

to be installed with the groove facing away from the rebox

and towards the front of the stove). Replace with large brick

in coal kit. Gently tap the coal grate down until it ts snugly

into the steel track. Replace the key plate, lift handle and lids.

Then proceed with redoor damper installation.

Oval Coal Grate Installation

To install the optional coal grate package, remove the wood

grate through the ash pan door and replace with the coal

grate. Remove the key plate over the rebox and slide the coal

liners #1470 in the front and #1475 in the back of the rebox.

Replace the key plate, lift handle and lids. Then proceed with

redoor damper installation.

Oval and Sweetheart Firedoor Damper

(Coal burning only, see illustration on next column)

The redoor damper comes with each coal kit and must be

installed. Remove the nickel redoor frame from the redoor.

Loosen the three screws that hold the cover plate over the

damper holes. Replace the cover plate with the coal damper,

lettered side out. Tighten screws just enough to hold the damper

plate on but also allow it to slide freely back and forth. Lock

screws in position with a nut on each screw thread.

A wood “break in” re should be done before attempting

to burn coal (see page 16).

Starting Up a Coal Fire

A chimney 6” (15.25 cm) in diameter is imperative for the

Coal Burning process. On chimney larger than 6” (15.25

cm) in diameter will cause poor ignition of the coal due to

inadequate draft.

It is possible to burn coal with a large diameter chimney, but

banking a new bed of coals will require a greater mix of wood

to create and maintain an adequate draft.

The minimum draft required to maintain an oven temperature

of 350 ºF (175⁰C) is around .04” (1.016 mm) on a water

column. For drafts under .04” (1.016 mm) on a water column,

closing the oven draft damper more than half way, will cause

back pufng.

During the recharge phase of a new bank, a draft of .08” (2.03

mm) should be maintained for at least 10-15 minutes or until

a substantial bed of red embers is built up.

We recommend burning anthracite coal, which is relatively

clean to handle, burns evenly with a low ame, has a low

sulphur content and produces relatively little smoke.

Use a “chess nut” or “nut” size of coal, which is 1 3/16 to 1

5/8 in (3 cm to 4.13 cm) diameter. However, other coal, such

as bituminous, can be burned, but is inferior to anthracite.
