Note: The BTU ratings mentioned above are based on the EPA
test protocol under specific test conditions. Our advertised
BTU's are based on the first hour of operation at high burn rate
burning dry cordwood.
After reading these instructions, if you have any doubt about
your ability to complete your installation in a professional like
manner you should obtain the services of an installer versed in
all aspects as to the correct and safe installation. Do not use
temporary makeshift compromises during installation.
BEFORE INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Check with the building inspector's office for compliance
with local codes; a permit may be required.
2. The room heater must be connected to 1) a chimney
complying with the requirements for Type HT chimneys in
the standard for Chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential Type
and Building Heating Appliance, UL 103, or in Canada CAN/
ULC-S629 Standard for 650 degree C Factory Built Chimneys
and applicable building codes or 2) a code-approved masonry
chimney with a flue liner.
3. A 6" (152mm) diameter, 24 gauge Black Steel flue is
required for proper performance.
4. Always connect this unit to a chimney and NEVER vent to
another room or inside a building.
5. DO NOT connect this unit to any duct work to which
another appliance is connected such as a furnace.
6. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
7. The connector pipe and chimney should be inspected
periodically and cleaned if necessary.
8. Remember the clearance distances when you place
furniture or other objects within the area. DO NOT store wood,
flammable liquids or other combustible materials too close to
the unit.
Refer to certification label on back of your unit for required
clearances.
9. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire authority for
information on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a clearly
understood plan to handle a chimney fire. In the event of a
Chimney fire, turn air control to closed position and CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
10. DO NOT tamper with combustion air control beyond
normal adjustment.
11. DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT
OR SYSTEM.
12. When installing a solid fuel appliance, it is also
recommended to install Smoke and Carbon Monoxide
Detectors on every level of the house. During the initial firing
of the appliance, some smoke or odor may occur due to
paint curing. You may want to keep some windows open for
ventilation during the first few hours of burning to prevent
smoke detector activation. Test your smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors regularly.
CAUTION
DO NOT operate heater if glass window is broken.
OPERATION
WHY THE CORRECT FLUE SIZE IS IMPORTANT - 6"
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. An
uncontrolled burn or a glowing red part or chimney connector
indicates excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause back
puffing into the room and "plugging" of the chimney and/
or cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through
appliance and chimney connector joints.
Today's solid fuel appliances are more efficient than in
the past. The units are designed to give you controlled
combustion, and maximum heat transfer, using less fuel to do
so.
The design of your new appliance is such that the exhaust
smoke is now at lower temperatures than in the past,
therefore requiring proper chimney size to give adequate
draft. If your chimney is too large, the heating appliance
will have a difficult time to raise the chimney flue
temperature to give adequate draft, therefore causing a
smoke back up, poor burn, or both.
Should you experience such a problem call in a local
chimney expert.
With the door closed, the rate of burning is regulated by
the amount of air allowed to enter the unit through the air
control. With experience you will be able to set the control
for heat and burning time desired.
Once the required chimney draft is obtained, operate only with
doors closed and open doors slowly when re-fueling. (This
will reduce or eliminate smoke from entering the room).
Attempts to achieve higher output rates that exceed heater
design specifications can result in permanent damage to
the heater. The recommended wood load is level with the
top of the firebricks.
Overloading may prevent sufficient air entering the heater to
properly fuel the fire.
Operate this heater only with the door closed.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS,
SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, OR ENGINE OIL
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START
THE FIRE.
IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that the wood
stove and chimney be installed by a qualified installer. (A
qualified installer is a person or entity who regularly installs
wood heating products and chimneys, in the ordinary
course of their regular business.)
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.
ALWAYS PROVIDE A SOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE
ROOM WHERE THE UNIT IS INSTALLED. FAILURE TO
DO SO MAY RESULT IN AIR STARVATION OF OTHER
FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES AND THE POSSIBLE
DEVELOPMENT OF HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN,
CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
