Installation

SAFETY NOTICE

• IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,

FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• CONSULT YOUR MUNICIPAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT PERMITS, RESTRICTIONS AND

INSTALLATIONS REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.

• USE SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE ROOM WHERE YOUR STOVE IS INSTALLED.

• KEEP FURNITURE AND DRAPES WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE.

• NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR

LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE

HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.

• IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE, PUSH THE AIR CONTROL FULL CLOSED TO DEPRIVE THE FIRE OF OXYGEN.

CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.

• A SOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM OR SPACE HEATED SHALL BE PROVIDED WHEN REQUIRED.

POSITIONING THE STOVE

The stove is attached to the shipping pallet with 2 bolts. These bolts are located under the pedestal trim. See

pedestal trim assembly instructions for additional information.

It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will

favour the most efcient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must 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. A wood stove also functions by

convection, that is through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler

air. If necessary, the hot air distribution from the stove may be facilitated by the installation of a blower.

The wood stove must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an excessive accumulation of

heat may occur.

A wood stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of

re or fail to respect required clearances.

-6-

FLOOR PROTECTOR

Your wood stove should be placed on a 1 inch, non-combustible surface with a k factor of 0.84. For multiple

layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value. The R value for the required board is 1.2. If

there is a horizontal section of chimney connector, the oor protector should go under it and 2 inches beyond

each side

Convert specication to R-value:

k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R=1/k x T

C-factor is given: R=1/C

Example:

If the oor protector is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a “k” factor of 0.29

the total R-value of the system is:

4” brick C=1.25, R=1/1.25=0.8

1/8” mineral board K=0.29, R=1/0.29 x 0.125=0.431

Total R = R brick + R mineral = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231

Total R is greater than 1.2, the system is acceptable.

The oor protector should exceed the stove as follows:

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

It is of utmost importance that the clearances to combustible materials be strictly adhered to during

installation of the stove. Refer to the tables below.

• Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7’ (2.13m) in all cases.

• Do not place any combustible material within 4’ (1.2m) of the front of the unit.

• The clearance between the ue pipe and a wall are valid only for vertical walls and for vertical ue pipe.

• The chimney connector must not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, a

oor, or a ceiling.

• For Canadian installations, where passage through a wall, or partition of combustible construction is

desired, the installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.

• A ue pipe crossing a combustible wall must have a minimum clearance of 18” (457.2mm).

• To reduce ue clearances from combustible materials, contact your local safety department.

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE)

Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same

diameter as the stove outlet (6”). If this is not the case, we

recommend you contact your dealer in order to insure there

will be no problem with the draft. The stove pipe must be made

of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of

0.021” or 0.53 mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.

Your smoke pipe should be assembled in such a way that the

male section (crimped end) of the pipe faces down. Attach

each of the sections to one another with three equidistant

metal screws. The pipe must be short and straight. All sections

installed horizontally must slope at least 1/4 inch per foot, with

the upper end of the section toward the chimney. Any installation with a horizontal run of chimney pipe must

conform to NFPA 211. You may contact NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and request the latest edition

of the NFPA Standard 211. To insure a good draft, the total length of the coupling pipe should never exceed 8’

to 10’ (2.4m to 3.04 m). (Except for cases of vertical installation, cathedral-roof style where the smoke exhaust

system can be much longer and connected without problem to the chimney at the ceiling of the room). There

should never be more than two 90 degrees elbows in the smoke exhaust system. Installation of a “barometric

draft stabilizer” (replace register) on a smoke exhaust system is prohibited. Furthermore, installation of a draft

damper is not recommended. Indeed, with a controlled combustion wood stove, the draft is regulated upon

intake of the combustion air in the stove and not at the exhaust.

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT

Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance

up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your

chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local

geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.

Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures

in the appliance. Inadequate draft may cause

backpufng into the room and ‘plugging’ of the

chimney. Inadequate draft will cause the appliance

to leak smoke into the room through appliance and

chimney connector joints. An uncontrollable burn or

excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.

CHIMNEY

Take into account the chimney’s location to insure it is not too close to neighbours or in a valley which may

cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions. Your wood stove may be hooked up with a 6” factory built or masonry

chimney. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or CSA-B365 standard; therefore it must

be a Type HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer’s specications.

If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specications of the

National Building Code. It must be lined with re clay bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with re cement.

(Round ues are the most efcient).

The interior diameter of the chimney ue must be identical to the stove smoke exhaust. A ue which is too

small may cause draft problems, while a large ue favours rapid cooling of the gas, and hence the build-up of

creosote and the risk of chimney res. Note that it is the chimney and not the stove which creates the draft effect;

your stove’s performance is directly dependent on an adequate draft from your chimney.

The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney:

1. Do not connect this unit to a chimney ue serving another appliance.

2. It must rise above the roof at least 3’ (0.9m) from the uppermost point of contact.

3. The chimney must exceed any part of the building or other obstruction within a 10’ (3.04m) distance by a

height of 2’ (0.6m).

4. Installation of an interior chimney is always preferable to an exterior chimney. Indeed, the interior chimney

will, by denition, be hotter than an exterior chimney, being heated up by the ambient air in the house.

Therefore the gas which circulates will cool more slowly, thus reducing the build-up of creosote and the risk

of chimney res.

5. The draft caused by the tendency for hot air to rise will be increased with an interior chimney.

6. Using a re screen at the extremity of the chimney requires regular inspection in order to insure that it is not

obstructed thus blocking the draft, and it should be cleaned when used regularly.

FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY

When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed.

You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-

through and “T” section package, restops (where needed), insulation shield, roof ashing, chimney cap, etc.

Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. The chimney must be the

required height above the roof or other obstructions for safety and proper draft operation.

-10-

MASONRY CHIMNEY

Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of

deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When

connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed.

-11-

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 Specication for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent.

Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick masonry between

the clay liner and wall combustibles. The clay liner shall run

from the brick masonry outer surface to the inner surface of the

chimney ue liner but not past the inner surface. Firmly grout or

cement the clay liner in place to the chimney ue liner.

Method B. 9” (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall

Member: Using a 6” (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-

built Solid-Pak chimney section with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm)

or more, build a wall pass-through with a minimum 9” (228.6

mm) air space between the outer wall of the chimney length

and wall combustibles. Use sheet metal supports fastened

securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to maintain the 9” (228.6

mm) air space. When fastening supports to chimney length,

do not penetrate the chimney liner (the inside wall of the Solid-

Pak chimney). The inner end of the Solid-Pak chimney section

shall be ush with the inside of the masonry chimney ue, and

sealed with a non-water soluble refractory cement. Use this

cement to also seal to the brick masonry penetration.

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”

(25.4 mm) each, construct a wall pass-through. There shall be a

minimum 6” (152.4) mm separation area containing berglass

insulation, from the outer surface of the wall thimble to wall

combustibles. Support the wall thimble, and cover its opening

with a 24-gage minimum sheet metal support. Maintain the 6”

(152.4 mm) space. There should also be a support sized to t

and hold the metal chimney connector. See that the supports

are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure

fasteners used to secure the metal chimney connector do not

penetrate chimney ue liner.

Method D. 2” (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall

Member: Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney

section at least 12” (304 mm) long, with insulation of 1” (25.4

mm) or more, and an inside diameter of 8” (2 inches [51 mm]

larger than the 6” [152.4 mm] chimney connector). Use this

as a pass-through for a minimum 24-gauge single wall steel

chimney connector. Keep solid-pak section concentric with

and spaced 1” (25.4 mm) off the chimney connector by way

of sheet metal support plates at both ends of chimney section.

Cover opening with and support chimney section on both

sides with 24 gage minimum sheet metal supports. See that

the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides.

Make sure fasteners used to secure chimney ue line.

NOTES:

1. 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 ue liner face.

2. A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a

oor, or ceiling.

-12-

OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR

Your wood stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake which is necessary for a mobile home.

This type of installation is also required in air tight houses and houses with negative pressure problems. You

can purchase this option through your heater dealer. Make sure to specify the part number mentioned in this

booklet. Installation instructions are supplied with the air intake kit.

Outside combustion air may be required if:

1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke roll-out occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether

or not there is combustion present.

2. Existing fuel-red equipment in the house, such as replaces or other heating appliances, smell, do

not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back-drafts occur whether or not there is

combustion present.

3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.

4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight tting windows and/or has any powered

devices that exhaust house air.

5. There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.

6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.

For use in MOBILE HOMES (U. S. installations ONLY):

• WARNING! DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOM.

• CAUTION! THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE

MAINTAINED.

• INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH 24 CFR, PART 3280 (HUD).

• USE A FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY THAT COMPLIES WITH UL 103 STAN

DARDS; THEREFORE IT MUST BE A TYPE

HT (2100°F).

• USE A SPARK ARRESTER.

• THE STOVE MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE MOBILE HOME. USE THE FOUR(4) HOLES IN THE

BOTTOM FLANGES OF THE HEATER’S PEDESTAL TO SECURE THE UNIT TO THE FLOOR. THEN INSTALL/RE-INSTALL

THE TRIM.

WOODSTOVE UTILIZATION

This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efciencies and lower emissions generally result when

burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.

DO NOT BURN:

1. Garbage;

2. Lawn clippings or yard waste;

3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;

4. Materials containing plastic;

5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint

thinners, or asphalt products;

6. Materials containing asbestos;

7. Construction or demolition debris;

8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;

9. Manure or animal remains;

10. Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water

saturated materials;

11. Unseasoned wood; or

12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or

particleboard. The prohibition against burning

these materials does not prohibit the use of re

starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust,

wax and similar substances for the purpose of

starting a re in an affected wood heater.

Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.

Dead wood lying on the forest oor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing dead

wood can usually be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned. Splitting and stacking wood before it is stored

accelerates drying time. Storing wood on an elevated surface from the ground and under a cover or covered

area from rain or snow also accelerates drying time. A good indicator if wood is ready to burn is to check the

piece ends. If there are cracks radiating in all directions from the center then the wood should be dry enough

to burn. If your wood sizzles in the re, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully cured, and should be

seasoned longer.

Do not burn manufactured logs made of wax impregnated sawdust or logs with any

chemical additives. Manufactured logs made of 100% compressed sawdust can be

burned, but be careful burning too much of these logs at the same time. Start with one

manufactured log and see how the stove reacts. You can increase the number of logs

burned at a time to making sure the temperature never rises higher than 475 °F (246 °C)

on a magnetic thermometer for installation on single wall stove pipes or 900 °F (482 °C)

on a probe thermometer for installation on double wall stove pipe. The thermometer

should be placed about 18” (457 mm) above the stove. Higher temperatures can lead

to overheat and damage your stove.

Waste and other ammable materials should not be burned in your stove. Any type of wood may be used in

your stove, but specic varieties have better energy yields than others. Please consult the following table in order

to make the best possible choice.

It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you use DRY WOOD only in your wood stove. The wood should have dried for 9

to 15 months, such that the humidity content (in weight) is reduced below 20% of the weight of the log. It is very

important to keep in mind that even if the wood has been cut for one, two or even more years, it is not necessarily

dry, if it has been stored in poor conditions. Under extreme conditions it may rot instead of drying. This point

cannot be over stressed; the vast majority of the problems related to the operation of a wood stove is caused by

the fact that the wood used was too damp or had dried in poor conditions. These problems can be:

- ignition problems

- creosote build-up causing chimney res

- low energy yield

- blackened windows

- incomplete log combustion

Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 6” in diameter should be split. The wood should not

be stored directly on the ground. Air should circulate through the cord. A 24” to 48” air space should be left

between each row of logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location possible. The upper layer of wood

should be protected from the elements but not the sides.

OPERATIONAL TIPS

• Operational Tips for Good, Efcient, and Clean Combustion

• Get the appliance hot and establish a good coal bed before adjusting to a low burn rate (this may take

30 minutes or more depending on your wood)

• Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and a high burn rate to increase the stove temperature

• Be considerate of the environment and only burn dry wood

• Burn small, intense res instead of large, slow burning res when possible

• Learn your appliance’s operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance

Burning unseasoned wet wood only hurts your stoves efciency and leads to accelerated creosote buildup in

your chimney

TESTING YOUR WOOD

When the stove is thoroughly warmed, place one piece of split wood (about ve inches in diameter) parallel

to the door on the bed of red embers.

Keep the air control full open by pulling on it and close the door. If ignition of the piece is accomplished within

90 seconds from the time if was placed in the stove, your wood is correctly dried. If ignition takes longer, your

wood is damp.

If your wood hisses and water or vapor escapes at the ends of the piece, your wood is soaked or freshly cut.

Do not use this wood in your stove. Large amounts of creosote could be deposited in your chimney, creating

potential conditions for a chimney re.

TAMPER WARNINGS

This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal

regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating

instructions in this manual.

THE FIRST FIRES

The fresh paint on your stove needs to be cured to preserve its quality. Once the fuel charge is properly

ignited, only burn small res in your stove for the rst four hours of operation. Never open the air control more

than necessary to achieve a medium burn rate.

Make sure that there’s enough air circulation while curing the stove. The odors could be smelled during the 3

or 4 rst res. Never start your stove outside. You will not be able to see if you are over heating.

IGNITION

After making sure that the stove air intake controls are fully open (completely pull-out towards you), The top

down method of re building is recommended for this appliance. After making sure that the stove air intake

controls are fully open (completely pull-out towards you), Place the largest pieces of wood on the bottom, laid

in parallel and close together. Smaller pieces are placed in a second layer, crossways to the rst. A third layer

of still smaller pieces is laid crossways to the second, this time with some spaces between. Then a fourth layer of

loose, small kindling and twisted newspaper sheets tops off the pile.

CAUTION:

Never alter the damper slide or the adjustment range to increase ring for any reason. Doing so could result

in heater damage and will void your warranty.

-15-

HEATING

Controlled combustion is the most efcient technique for wood heating because it enables you to select the type

of combustion you want for each given situation. The wood will burn slowly if the wood stove air intake control is

adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber to a minimum. On the other hand, wood will

burn quickly if the air control is adjusted to admit a larger quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber. The air

intake control on your stove is very simple. If you pull on it out completely towards you, it is fully open. If you push

on it until it stops the combustion air is reduced to a minimum. Real operating conditions may give very different

results than those obtained during testing according to the species of wood used, its moisture content, the size

and density of the pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature.

EFFICIENCY

Efciencies can be based on either the lower heating value (LHV) or the higher heating value (HHV) of the fuel.

The lower heating value is when water leaves the combustion process as a vapor, in the case of woodstoves the

moisture in the wood being burned leaves the stove as a vapor. The higher heating value is when water leaves

the combustion process completely condensed. In the case of woodstoves this would assume the exhaust gases

are room temperature when leaving the system, and therefore calculations using this heating value consider

the heat going up the chimney as lost energy. Therefore, efciency calculated using the lower heating value of

wood will be higher than efciency calculated using the higher heating value. In the United States all woodstove

efciencies should be calculated using the higher heating value.

The best way to achieve optimum efciencies is to learn the burn characteristic of you appliance and burn well-

seasoned wood. Higher burn rates are not always the best heating burn rates; after a good re is established a

lower burn rate may be a better option for efcient heating. A lower burn rate slows the ow of usable heat out

of the home through the chimney, and it also consumes less wood.

VISIBLE SMOKE

The amount of visible smoke being produced can be an effective method of determining how efciently the

combustion process is taking place at the given settings. Visible smoke consist of unburned fuel and moisture

leaving your stove. Learn to adjust the air settings of your specic unit to produce the smallest amount of visible

smoke. Wood that has not been seasoned properly and has a high wood moisture content will produce excess

visible smoke and burn poorly.

OPERATIONAL TIPS FOR GOOD, EFFICIENT, AND CLEAN COMBUSTION

Get the appliance hot and establish a good coal bed before adjusting to a low burn rate (this may take 30

minutes or more depending on your wood) Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and a high burn rate to

increase the stove temperature Be considerate of the environment and only burn dry wood Burn small, intense

res instead of large, slow burning res when possible Learn your appliance’s operating characteristics to obtain

optimum performance Burning unseasoned wet wood only hurts your stoves efciency and leads to accelerated

creosote buildup in your chimney

Before igniting the paper and kindling wood, it is recommended that you warm up the chimney. This is done

in order to avoid back draft problems often due to negative pressure in the house. If such is the case, open a

window slightly near the stove and twist together a few sheets of newspaper into a torch. Light up this paper

torch and hold it as close as possible to the mouth of the pipe inside the combustion chamber to warm up the

chimney. Once the updraft movement is initiated, you are ready to ignite the stove by lighting the paper and

kindling wood inside the combustion chamber.

When you have achieved a good bed of hot embers, we recommend the following burn procedures:

WARNINGS:

• NEVER OVER FIRE YOUR STOVE. IF ANY PART OF THE STOVE STARTS TO GLOW RED, OVER FIRING IS HAPPENING.

READJUST THE AIR INTAKE CONTROL AT A LOWER SETTING.

• THE INSTALLATION OF A LOG CRADLE or GRATES IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN YOUR WOOD STOVE. BUILD FIRE

DIRECTLY ON FIREBRICK.

• NEVER PUT WOOD ABOVE THE FIREBRICK LINING OF THE FIREBOX.

• ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT IN

PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATER.

RELOADING

Once you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air

controls to maximum a few seconds prior to opening the stove’s door. Then proceed by opening the door very

slowly; open it one or two inches for 5 to 10 seconds, before opening it completely to increase the draft and

thus eliminate the smoke which is stagnant in a state of slow combustion in the stove. Then bring the red embers

to the front of the stove and reload the unit. For optimal operation of your wood stove, we recommend you to

operate it with a wood load approximately equivalent to the height of re bricks. It is important to note that wood

combustion consumes ambient oxygen in the room .In the case of negative pressure, it is a good idea to allow

fresh air in the room, either by opening a window slightly or by installing a fresh air intake system on an outside

wall.

CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture

to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney ue of a slow-burning re. As a

result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot re.

The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating

season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated (3mm or more), it should

be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re. We strongly recommend that you install a magnetic thermometer

on your smoke exhaust pipe, approximately 18” above the stove. This thermometer will indicate the temperature

of your gas exhaust fumes within the smoke exhaust system. The ideal temperature for these gases is somewhere

between 275°F and 500°F. Below these temperatures, the build-up of creosote is promoted. Above 500 degrees,

heat is wasted since a too large quantity is lost into the atmosphere.

TO PREVENT CREOSOTE BUILD UP

• Always burn dry wood. This allows clean burns and higher chimney temperatures, therefore less creosote

deposit.

• Leave the air control full open for about 5 min. every time you reload the stove to bring it back to proper

operating temperatures. The secondary combustion can only take place if the rebox is hot enough.

• Always check for creosote deposit once every two months and have your chimney cleaned at least once

a year.

If a chimney or creosote re occurs, close all dampers immediately. Wait for the re to go out and the heater to

cool, then inspect the chimney for damage. If no damage results, perform a chimney cleaning to ensure there is

no more creosote deposits remaining in the chimney.

ASH DISPOSAL

Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your rebox or ash pan, and when the re has burned down and

cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the rebox bottom to help

maintain a hot charcoal bed.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be

placed on a noncombustible oor or on the ground, away from all combustible materials, pending nal disposal.

The ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

ATTENTION:

This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper operation. It is against federal regulations

to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.

SMOKE AND CO MONITORS

Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when

exposed to elevated concentrations for extended periods of time. While the modern combustion systems in

heaters drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or conned

areas can be dangerous. Make sure your stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order and sealing

properly to ensure unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke and CO monitors in areas

having the potential to generate CO.

MAINTENANCE

Your wood stove is a high efciency stove and therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform

a visual inspection of the stove every time it is emptied, in order to insure that no parts have been damaged,

in which case repairs must be performed immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe

periodically for creosote build-up or obstructions.

AIR TUBES

The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to provide an accurate mix of secondary air to insure the

highest efciency. Any damage or deterioration of these tubes may reduce the efciency of combustion. The

air tubes are held in position by either screws or snap pins. Locate these to either side of the tube and remove to

allow the tube to be removed and replaced.

GLASS

• Inspect and clean the glass regularly in order to detect any cracks. If you spot one, turn the stove off

immediately. Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the stove if the glass is

broken.

• If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with the glass supplied from your heater dealer. Never substitute

other materials for the glass.

• To replace the glass, remove the screws retaining the glass mouldings inside the door. Remove the mouldings

and replace the damaged piece with a new one. Perform the procedure backwards after replacing. When

replacing the glass, you should change the glass gasket to make sure you keep it sealed.

• Never wash the glass with a product that may scratch. Use a specialized product, available in the stores

where wood stoves are sold. The glass should be washed only when cold.

GASKETING

This unit’s door uses a 5/8” diameter rope gasket. It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which

makes your stove door air tight) once a year, in order to insure good control over the combustion, maximum

efciency and security. To change the door gasket, simply remove the damaged one. Carefully clean the

available gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this purpose, and install the new gasket. You

may light up your stove again approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation.

PAINT

Only clean your stove with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the paint nish. If the paint becomes scratched or

damaged, it is possible to give your wood stove a brand new look, by repainting it with a 1200° F heat resistant

paint. For this purpose, simply scrub the surface to be repainted with ne sand paper, clean it properly, and apply

thin coats (2) of paint successively.

CAUTIONS:

• ASHES COULD CONTAIN HOT EMBERS EVEN AFTER TWO DAYS WITHOUT OPERATING THE STOVE.

• THE ASH PAN CAN BECOME VERY HOT. WEAR GLOVES TO PREVENT INJURY.

• NEVER BURN THE STOVE WITH THE ASH TRAP OPEN. THIS WOULD RESULT IN OVER FIRING THE STOVE. DAMAGE

TO THE STOVE AND EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.

WARNING:

NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITHOUT A GASKET OR WITH A BROKEN ONE. DAMAGE TO THE STOVE OR EVEN

HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
