Your appliance has been specifi cally designed over many months of research to meet the 1990 U.S.A. EPA
particulate emission standards and have been extensively tested in Canadian and American laboratories. This
system is the most effi cient, simple and trouble free we know and works as follows:
The chimney vent system used on your wood burning appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily fl ow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too
short or too long can also have an adverse affect on the fl ow of exhaust through it. The wood burning appliance
and chimney vent system also require a suffi cient supply of combustion air not only to support the combustion in the
combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it so it can fl ow freely up through the vent system and out
into the atmosphere. It is the correct balance of combustion air and the chimney vent system that will ensure the
appliance provides you with its optimum performance.
Combustion air enters through two holes in the bottom
which can be adjusted by a single air control. Air from
the front hole goes up on either side of the door into a
preheating airwash located across the top and then down
the window to feed the fi re and also to ensure that the
glass remains clean. Air from this hole also feeds directly
into the combustion chamber at hearth level. Secondary
air from the rear hole travels up the back in the secondary
air housing to the manifold located at the top and shoots
out laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.
The combustion chamber is lined with high temperature
fi rebrick on 2 sides, the back and across the bottom,
with a layer of fi bre baffl es at the top to maintain a high
temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases
mixing with the preheated air from the secondary air
manifold tube are easily ignited and burned. The stove
sides and back are shielded to direct the heat upwards
and forwards into the room.
Be sure to provide suffi cient combustion air. There are many other appliances in your home competing for air such
as: a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may
emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the fi rebox burning off. Open a window to
suffi ciently ventilate the room.
CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:
Use of this product may produce smoke which contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
If the outside air feature of the stove is utilized, you should never
experience a shortage of combustion air. If you choose not to utilize
outside air and experience draft or smoking problems, you may need to open a door or window.
To ensure that the ash dump door is tightly closed, allow the door to snap shut dislodging anything (ashes or pieces
of coal) that may be stuck in the opening.
