INSTALLATION
Fire Prevention
To prevent risk of fire, serious consideration should be given to
the following:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor in your
home. They should be located within a reasonable
distance from the heating appliance and close to
bedrooms. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer
instructions regarding placement and installation and
check regularly if they work properly.
2. Keep a Class-A fire extinguisher within reach in case of
small fires on the floor resulting from burning embers.
3. Install a CO detector in the room with the appliance.
4. Make an evacuation plan with at least two exits. All the
occupants must know this plan.
5. A procedure in case of chimney fire:
a. Close all the air intakes of the appliance if possible.
b. Evacuate the house immediately
c. Notify local fire department.
Floor protection
Your stove must be installed on a non-combustible material
plate to protect the floor and avoid fire that might be caused by:
•Projections of sparks when opening door or loading logs;
•The heat radiation from the stove which might cause an
auto-ignition to the floor or to the floor covering;
•Possible flow of creosote when there is a fire chimney.
The coating used for the protection must be non-combustible
and approved according to UL1618 standard for the USA or to
the local codes (Example: cement, brick, ceramic tiles, etc.)
HORIZONTAL VENTING MANDATORY PROTECTION: Non-
combustible floor protections must extend beneath the flue
pipe when installed with horizontal venting and it should extend
2 inches (51 mm) beyond each side of the pipe projection on
the floor.
You can extend the protection plate while respecting the
clearances of each side of the stove.

Floor’s firebrick installation
Put 2 bricks « A », 2 bricks « H », 1 brick « I », 1 brick « G » as
shown in the image below.
Firebrick installation on the pipes
The firebricks must be put on the 5 pipes on the front of
combustion chamber. Bricks keep the maximum heat inside the
combustion chamber and help the air from the tube burn the most
of the gas from wood which wouldn’t be burnt in any other
manner.
The rockwool above the brick prevents leakage between the
bricks and keeps a maximum heat inside combustion chamber.
It must cover up all the bricks and the air corridors of both sides.
IMPORTANT: The rockwool must not obstruct the smoke path.
Check the rockwool by removing the left top lid hole in the hob
and make sure that it is in a good position. Place the two half-
round steel plate on the rockwool as illustrated.
1. From the hole in the hob, put 2 bricks « A » and 1 brick
« C », over the whole length of 3 the pipes in the back.
Push the bricks against the back bricks with a slight angle
as shown in the image.
2. Place 2 bricks « K » and 1 brick « J » over the whole length
of the 3 pipes at the front in the same manner as step1

Firebrick installation on the pipes (suite)
3. Insert the rockwool over the bricks and check from the hole
in the hub that the smoke path is not obstructed. There
must be 1 inch (2.54 cm) or more between the rockwool
and the deflector.
4. Put the two half-round steel plates over the rockwool near
the rear deflector already in place. Be sure to put them
under the rear deflector to maximise the clearance between
the rockwool and the rear deflector. Make sure the
rockwool is not obstructing the space by looking under the
cooking lid on the hub.
WARNING: Obstructing the smoke path under the deflector
can force smoke to exit by the door when it’s open and it
will cause the stove not to work properly.

GENERAL STOVE INSTALLATION STEPS
Considering a location
We recommend to install this appliance by a certified installer.
Consideration must be given to:
Safety;
Passage frequency;
Convenience;
type of chimney and required chimney pipe;
Draft.
Drawing your installation plan on paper is a good way to avoid
mistakes.
Write on the plan:
•Exact dimensions for clearances to combustible material;
•Exact dimensions of the floor protection;
•Measurements of the chimney location. (If not already
installed. Be sure to have all the clearances recommended
by the factory-built chimney manufacturer for the floor,
ceiling and roof).
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plan before and
after installation.
General installation steps
1) Read the entire installation manual before installing and
using your stove.
2) Choose a spot where to install your stove. Read the
section about the dimensions of the floor protection plate,
the localisation of the stove over the floor protection plate
and the combustible material clearances (page 5). Once
you have decided where to install the stove, mark the
floor at the center of the chimney.
To make sure that the vertical center of the
chimney, use a plumb line and mark the center on
the floor.
3) Check if it is possible to pass the chimney without
damaging the structure of your house. You might have to
move the location of the stove while keeping the
minimum clearances. If you have to cut a joist, be sure to
respect the building code in effect to keep the structural
integrity of your house.
We recommend installation of this appliance by a
certified installer.
Note This appliance have to be connected to 6 inches
(15.24 cm) factory build chimney HT UL 103 or CAN/ULC
S629 compliant or a 6 inches (15.24 cm) masonry chimney
with a homologated sleeve inside. The masonry chimney
liner must be made of stainless steel and meet the
standards for masonry chimney with inner sleeve.
4) Install the chimney following the manufacturer
instruction.
5) Put the stove directly on the floor aligned vertically with
the center of the chimney, and trace the 4 sides of the
stove on the floor. After tracing, remove the stove.
6) Trace the protection plate dimensions on the floor. There
must be 8 inches (20.3 cm) clearance from the side and
the back of the stove. From the door opening, there must
be a front clearance of 16 inches (40.6 cm) in US and 18
inches (45 cm) in Canada.
7) Install the floor protection plate according to the mark (It
must be non-combustible).
8) Put the stove on the protection floor plate and respect the
edge clearance set at step 6 as well as the center the
stove under the chimney. We recommend to fix the stove
to the floor with bolt in the slot made for this purpose in
the legs. In a mobile home, it is mandatory to fix the
stove.
9) If you have a stove with a fresh air intake, you must use
a 4 inches (10.16 cm) inlet tube with an fireproof
insulated coating . The pipe must be installed towards
outside and must be airtightly sealed with a thermally
resistant sealant. It is also necessary to use an air inlet
fitted with an approved screen for this purpose.
10) Install the chimney pipe on the stove. The pipe must be
fixed with at least 3 screws on the stove collar and for
each chimney pipe and the chimney collar.
Note The single wall or double wall chimney pipe must be
made of steel with a 6 inches diameter and a minimum
thickness of 24 gauge (0.025 inches 0.64 mm). The
chimney pipe must have been approved for solid fuel. Do
not use galvanised steel chimney pipe.

Chimney pipe installation
The chimney pipe is a set of single wall or double wall flue pipes
and installed in-between the stove collar and the chimney
thimble. The single wall chimney parts are sold at most
hardware store but these are not approved nor certified. It is
therefore recommended to follow the minimum clearances to
combustible (see page 6). Moreover, there is a series of rules
which can be found in the installation codes for solid fuel
appliance.
Double wall chimney pipe
The stove was designed and tested with a single wall
chimney pipe with an heat shield. However, it is possible
to install a 6 inches (15.2 cm) double wall certified chimney
pipe.
ATTENTION
•For the minimum clearance between combustible
materials and double wall chimney pipe, see the
manufacturer manual.
Single wall chimney pipe
Single wall chimney pipe sections must have a 6 inches
diameter which corresponds to the diameter of the flue
collar and they must be made of steel with a minimum
thickness of 22 gauge 0.029 inches (0.85 mm). to reduce
the clearance of 50% (18’’ to 9’’) it is recommended to
Install a metal heat shield covering straight and elbow
sections with a space of 1 inch (25.4 mm) between the
shield and the pipe.
ATTENTION
•If an heat shield is not installed, you must move away
the stove to keep an 18 inches (45.7 cm) clearance
between combustibles materials and the chimney pipe.
The horizontal section must have an upward slope of at
least 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) by feet (30 cm) and must not
exceed 36’’ of total horizontal length (91.4 cm).
•Clearance to combustible (for example plaster board
roof) must be 18 inches (45.7 cm) or more for single wall
chimney pipe.
•Clearance to combustible must follow the pipe
manufacturer indication’s for approved double wall
chimney pipe,.
ALL PIPE SECTIONS MUST BE CLEAN AND IN GOOD
CONDITION, AND THEY MUST BE APPROVED FOR
CORDWOOD FUEL.
How to set the pipe sections
Make an installation overview of all sections and elbows (if
necessary) to ensure that you meet the clearances and the
horizontal sections inclination. Check if you have all the
necessary parts for the final installation.
For direct vertical installation, you will need:
•1 vertical section of 24 inches or more to go above
the warmer oven head;
•1 telescopic chimney pipe section of the right length
allowing you to connect the last chimney pipe
section to the chimney collar.
Note Additional sections can be used for higher roof.
For horizontal run installation you will need:
•1 vertical section of 24 inches or more to go above
the warmer oven head;
•1 x 90° elbow or 2 x 45°elbows.
•chimney pipe section(s) of the right length. The
total length of the section(s) must be less then 36’’
inches.
Note For better draft performance, two 45 degrees
elbows are preferable, with or without straight section
in between.
1. Disassemble everything and restart screwing the pieces
by starting from the stove to the roof chimney collar.
2. Insert the flue pipe entirely into the stove collar up to the
rolled rim.
3. Screw the pipe on the stove collar with a minimum of 3
screws in the holes provided for this purpose.
ATTENTION It is mandatory to fix the pipe on the stove
collar and at each joint with a minimum of 3 screws.
4. Install all the next sections up to the roof chimney support
and screw every chimney pipe parts with 3 screws.

WARNING THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE
HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE
MAINTAINED.
VAPOR BARRIER EFFICACITY AROUND THE CHIMNEY
AND FRESH AIR INTAKE MUST BE KEPT IN GOOD
CONDITION.
1) Follow the «General stove installation» (p.10) from steps
1 to 10.
2) The following requirements are MANDATORY for
mobile home installation.
a. The stove must be fixed permanently on the mobile
home’s floor with bolts and nuts.
b. The exterior air intake must be installed.
c. The stove must be electrically-grounded to the mobile
home’s chassis. In the USA, electrical grounding with
8 gauge wire using star washers and certified
terminals is mandatory.
d. All of the following equipment must be certified and
approved for mobile home installation.
•Double wall chimney pipe;
•The chimney system;
•The roof flashing;
•The Storm collar;
•Chimney cap with fire screen;
•Firewall;
•Chimney ceiling support;
•Decorative collar.
e. If the chimney is exposed outside from a wall and
placed lower than 7 feet (213 cm) above the ground
level where the mobile home is situated, a guard
must be installed around the chimney at the height
of 7 feet (213 cm). If openings are made in the
guard, they must be less than ¾ inch (19.5 mm)
wide. guard openings must be kept at least 4 inches
(10.2 cm) away from the chimney surface in order to
avoid contact.
f. The chimney must exceed of at least 3 feet (91.4 cm)
the highest point of the opening made in the roof and
it must also exceed of 2 feet the highest point of the
roof inside a 10 feet distance from the chimney.
g. Be sure to seal correctly the flashing of the roof, the
firewall and the exterior air intake with sealant. You
should also pay attention to the efficacy of the vapor
barrier is not compromised.
3) Always keep the door closed. Open it only when adding
wood or when starting a fire.
4) To close the exterior air intake when the stove is not in
use, a damper must be installed in the air intake pipe.
5) Don’t forget to open the damper when you operate your
stove so that smoke will not fill the house.
6) Always use certified parts for mobile home. Never use a
substitute for replacement.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION STEPS
Use only approved chimneys, the same size as the stove collar,
6 inches in this case. The chimneys used must be tested
according to CAN/ULC S629 M87 in Canada and to UL 103
(Type HT chimneys in Standard for Chimneys, Factory-Built,
Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance) in USA. The
stove can be installed with a masonry chimney according to ULC
S635, ULC S640 and UL 1777. The masonry chimney must be
equipped with a stainless steel sleeve and meet the standards
for masonry chimney with inner sleeve.
Provide a place for sweeping.
It is preferable, if possible, to avoid a chimney built outside of
the house or of an exterior wall, especially in cold regions.
Outside chimneys generally have a less efficient draft. In some
conditions, they can even have an reverse draft because and it
can be hard to heat them enough so that they can reach their
operating temperature. A greater accumulation of creosote, a
less efficient draft and a lesser performance are some
characteristics of cold chimneys. Draft is proportional to the total
chimney height as well as its temperature. It is therefore possible
to get a better draft by increasing the chimney's height and by
reducing the heat loss with an insulated lining. Make sure that
all smoke pipe joints are really airtight. A leak reduces the
efficiency of the appliance and could even make its use
dangerous.
NOTE This is a general chimney installation method.
Always refer to the chimney manufacturer’s manual for a
more detailed method for your chimney.
1) Determine the total length necessary for your chimney.
2) Cut the holes in all the floors and in the roof.
3) If you need to cut a joist, be sure to strengthen the
adjacent joists and frame the hole respecting the
minimum dimensions between combustible materials
and the firewall. Follow the manufacturer's instructions
in the manual provided with the firewall. Never cut a
structural beam.
4) Frame the holes on each floor and attic respecting the
minimum distance recommended by the
manufacturer's manual of your chimney. Install
firewalls on each floor.
5) Frame the hole in the roof.
6) Install the chimney support and firewall in the ceiling
where the stove is installed.
7) Stack and lock the factory built chimney section on
the support and above the roof.
•The chimney must exceed of at least 3 feet (91.4 cm)
the highest point of the roof opening.
•The chimney must also be 2 feet over the highest point
on the roof within a 10 fts (304 cm) radius around
chimney.
•The minimum length of chimney is 12 feet (365.8 cm).
ATTENTION Be sure the chimney section are attached
together properly and locked onto the chimney support.
NOTE A good length of chimney can help to obtain
effective performances of your stove. Try the minimum
length first then add section if you need more draft.
8) Put the roof flashing over the chimney and seal it with
roof caulking.
9) Nail the roof flashing, and reinstall the roof covering.
10) Slide the storm collar over the chimney and seal it
with high temperature caulking.
11) Lock the chimney cap and install the fire screen if
necessary
Note
•Chimney performance may vary.
•Chimney temperature, the appliance’s location in the
house, the house aerodynamic, buildings, trees, roof
lines and wind conditions can cause backdraft in the
chimney,
•Chimney height might need adjustment if backdraft or
overdraft occurs.

EXTERNAL COMBUSTION AIR
SOURCE
In a conventional house, the natural fresh air supply is
sufficient to operate the wood stove properly.
However, in new energy saving houses, some of them could
be too air-tight and the fresh air supply might not be sufficient
for the stove to operate properly. It is therefore recommended
to install an outside combustion air duct to avoid smouldering
fire that can cause smoke spill out. This negative pressure in
the house can be also caused by some ventilators in motion
such as a tumble dryer, cooking fan, bathroom fan, etc.
If there is no outside combustion air duct, it is recommended to
open a window slightly in the room where the appliance is
placed in order to avoid the negative pressure caused by the
appliances mentioned above.
A mobile home on a foundation is considered as a
conventional house.
Exterior Air Intake pipe
This appliance has an outdoor air intake.
We recommend using a 4 inches (10.7 cm) diameter aluminum
fireproof flexible pipe with a fireproof insulating coating, an
outside cap and a weatherproof grate.
The grate openings must be smaller than ¼ x ¼ inches (6mm x
6mm).
In case of using air ducts made of other materials, they must
complied with ULC-S110 norms or UL-181 Class1 norms. They
must also be equipped with fireproof insulation and be
corrosion resistant.
THE STOVE MUST BE FIXED TO THE STRUCTURE WHEN
AN EXTERIOR AIR INTAKE IS INSTALLED.
Installation of Air Intake Pipe
You can find external air intake head and grating in hardware
store. (The back panel is removed in the following picture only
to show the flue collar)
1) Find the air intake under the appliance
2) Fix the flexible or rigid pipe to the air intake collar with
a pipe clamp (A).
To install the outdoor air intake through a wall or a floor, follow
the air intake manufacturer installation instructions. Be sure to
seal the edge of the hole correctly too prevent loss of your
vapour barrier efficacy.
To avoid cold air entering in the stove constantly, we
recommend installing a damper which closes the pipe near the
outdoor air intake. Install a small rigid section of tube inside the
outdoor air intake and put a damper inside the rigid section to
close the air Intake. This damper is to reduce the cold air
circulation in the stove when it is not in use.
Connect the flexible air intake pipe onto the damper section.
Put a fireproof thermal insulation around the pipe if the pipe is
not insulated.
Air Intake Obstruction
If the stove extinguishes after closing the door, it’s possible that
the outdoor air inlet is obstructed by something, or that the
damper of the air intake is closed.
After a long period of disuse, insects or animals can build a
nest inside the air intake.
After a storm in winter, snow can accumulate over the air
intake and obstruct it.
Before the heating season, always inspect the air intake pipe to
be sure nothing is obstructing it.

STAINLESS STEEL TUBES REPLACEMENT
Although the tubes are in stainless steel, because of the
extreme temperatures and conditions inside the firebox, the
tubes could eventually corrode and perforate depending of
operating conditions. In that scenario, your stove becomes less
effective in terms of combustion quality and the tubes will need
to be replaced to ensure the performance of your appliance.
Stainless steel tubes Installation
There are three types of tubes to install.
The three tubes in the back (1) are perforated from a single
side, and the second tube in the front (2) is also perforated
from a single side but with bigger holes than the other tubes.
The first tube in front (3) is perforated on both side with smaller
holes as on the 1,2 & 3. tubes
How to install the tubes
1) Insert the tube on either end into the round hole of the
hot air channel.
2) Insert the other end in the corresponding hot air
channel hole.
3) Center the tube and align the holes with the tabs.
Screw the tube to the side tabs at both ends by using
the bigger tube‘s holes intended for that purpose.
.
4) Install the next tube.
To remove the tubes, do these steps in the reverse order.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATE ONLY WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED: KEEPING
THE DOOR OPEN MIGHT RESULT IN A RUNAWAY
AND CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE STOVE
OR A CHIMNEY FIRE.
A WOOD BURNING PRODUCES CARBON DIOXIDE
(CO2) AND CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) WHICH ARE
TOXIC AND LETHAL. IT’S RECOMMENDED TO
INSTALL A CO, CO2 DETECTOR IN THE SAME ROOM
WHERE THE STOVE IS LOCATED.
INSTALL ALSO A SMOKE DETECTOR IN THE SAME
ROOM WHERE THE STOVE IS LOCATED. THE SMOKE
DETECTOR MIGHT GO ON WHEN THERE IS SMOKE
LEAKING OUT.
THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT DESIGNED FOR OTHER
FUEL THAN SEASONED CORDWOOD. FUELS SUCH
AS COAL, CARDBOARD, ETC. COULD PRODUCE
MORE POLUTANT EMISSIONS OR OVERHEAT THE
APPLIANCE AND DAMAGE IT.
NEVER SLAM THE DOOR.
NEVER BURN INFLAMMABLE LIQUID: INFLAMMABLE
LIQUID PRODUCES VERY INTENSE HEAT AND ITS
COMBUSTION IS HARD TO CONTROL. IT MIGHT
CAUSE RUNAWAY AND OVERHEATING OF THE
STOVE. THIS CAN CONSEQUENTLY CAUSE DAMAGE
TO THE STOVE, A CHIMNEY FIRE OR A HOUSE FIRE.
ALWAYS VERIFY IF THE AIR INTAKE IS NOT
OBTRUCTED BEFORE LIGHTING A FIRE.
NEVER ELEVATE FIRE WITH A GRATE OR ANDIRON.
ALWAYS MAKE FIRE DIRECTLY AT THE BOTTOM OF
THE STOVE.
Burning regime control
When the handle under the front stove apron is pushed
completely backward, the air admission is reduced. In that
configuration, air will only comes out from the secondary air
tubes. On the other hand, when the handle is pulled forward,
the air admission increases. This air is coming from the
openings above the door. This is what we called “primary air
admission”.
Warning Operating your stove with the door partially or
fully open for a long period of time can damage the stove.
IT IS PROHIBITED TO MODIFY AIR ADMISSION TO
OBTAIN A BRISKER FIRE OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
MODIFICATIONS CAN VOID WARRANTY.
Lightning fire
After installing the stove correctly by following the instructions
of the manufacturer, you are ready to light it up.
1) Pull the handle under the front table of the stove
forward to let the air admission enter in the
combustion chamber.
2) Put paper and kindling wood in the combustion
chamber and light the fire in your preferred way.
3) Close the door partially keeping a slight opening.
When the chimney is hot enough, close completely
the door and leave the air admission handle in the
pulled position so that your fire kindle steadily.
4) Once you have a glowing ember bed, it’s time to add
logs. Follow now the instruction section on how to
keep a fire.
DO NOT FILL THE STOVE OVER THE UPPER BRICK.
You can control the combustion process by opening or closing
the air intake. The wood will burn more rapidly with more
primary air admission. Otherwise, the wood will burn slower
and more efficiently with the air intake handle set to secondary
air(minimum).
NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN
THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPEN FOR LIGHTING.
ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR AFTER LIGHTING.
ALWAYS LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED WHEN
OPERATING THE STOVE.
NEVER USE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OR
INFLAMMABLE LIQUID TO START THE FIRE OR
REVIVE THE FLAME.
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER
FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR
’REVIVE’ A FIRE IN THIS STOVE. KEEP SUCH
LIQUIDS AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHILE IT IS IN
USE.
DO NOT BUILD FIRE NEAR THE DOOR GLASS.
KEEP ANY INFLAMMABLE PRODUCTS AWAY
FROM THE APPLIANCE.
First fire
During the first hours of operation, you must heat the stove
gradually in order to allow an appropriate baking of the paint
and to facilitate its adhesion to the metal. Do not heat the
appliance with a brisk fire so as to avoid a thermal shock which
could lift up the paint or fade the color.
Make sure that the room is well ventilated in order to eliminate
odours and smoke coming from the paint during the first hours
of use. This nuisance is merely temporary.
This special paint is conceived to tolerate temperatures up
to1200°F (650°C).

1)Pull the handle under the apron of the stove forward and
wait a few seconds to let the fire adjust to the new
conditions.
2)Open the door handle to the previous position and wait
some time so that the fire has time to adjust
3)Turn the door handle completely and leave the door half-
open and let the fire set up.
4)Open the door completely.
5)Move embers near the door with poker to supply it with
oxygen and make it burn completely.
6)Add firewood over the ember, keeping it away from the
glass door to avoid flame touching the ceramic glass.
ATTENTION
DO NOT FILL THE STOVE OVER THE UPPER
BRICK.
DO NOT BUILD A FIRE NEAR THE WINDOW.
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BURN DRY
CORDWOOD. WE DON’T RECOMMEND ANY OTHER
TYPE OF WOOD.
7)Close the door slightly and let the wood burn.
8)Once the fire gets stable, close and lock the door.
9)Push the air admission knob to the desired condition.
RISK OF OVERHEATING: NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE
UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS SIGHTLY OPEN.
ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR AFTER ADDING A LOAD.
DO NOT USE ANY INFLAMMABLE LIQUID TO REKINDLE
THE FIRE.
Fuel Selection
This stove is designed to burn only firewood. Using firewood
dried properly will result in an higher efficiency and a lower
pollutant’s emission compared with using softwood or fresh
wood.
Moisture Meter Information
Firewood is ready to use at 10‐25% moisture content.
Fresh cut logs can have a moisture content of 80% or more,
depending on species. During the drying process, wood might
shrink, split, twist or change shape. In general, wood must be
dried before use. Air drying, i.e. ‘seasoning’ is the most
common method used for cordwood.
Season wood outdoor in summer for at least 6 months before
use. Properly seasoned wood is darker, has cracks at the
ends, and sounds hollow when one piece is smacked against
one another.
In most parts in the North America, the minimum moisture
content that can be generally obtained by air drying is about 12
to 15 percent.
Things not to burn
1) Garbage;
2) Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3) Materials containing rubber;
4) Plastic materials;
5) Waste containing petroleum products, paints or solvent;
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;
12) Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
The prohibition against burning these materials does not
prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard,
saw dust, wax and similar substances. Burning these materials
may result in release of toxic fumes or make the stove
ineffective.
Wood storage
The cordwood must be stored in a dry place, away from bad
weather.
It should not be stored under or near the stove.
If any wood is stored next to the stove, the minimum
clearances must be respected to avoid self-ignition
temperature.
•48 inches (122 cm) front
•10 inches (25.4 cm) rear
•20 inches (50.8 cm) sides
Draft
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on its length, local geography, nearby obstructions
and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive
temperatures in the appliance and may damage the appliance.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft.
Insufficient draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the
room through the appliance and chimney pipe joints.
