I. SAFETY FIRST
This stove is suitable for a conventional home installation. Read all instructions
carefully before starting the installation. Save this manual for future reference.
1. Failure to follow the instructions could cause a malfunction of the
stove, damage to the stove, property damage, bodily injury or even
death.
2. Familiarize yourself with the stove’s operation. If you are not sure,
ask your dealer for explanations on your stove’s proper operation.
3. Check your local building codes regarding restrictions or installation
requirements. All installations must comply with local building
codes.
4. Follow this manual carefully for proper installation. If you are un-
certain, please contact your dealer. Most dealers have trained and
qualied installers. We highly recommend the use of their services.
5. Replace broken or defective components only with parts provided by
the manufacturer. See www.kozistoves.com or contact your local
dealer to nd out how to purchase replacement parts.
6. Store all fuel at a safe distance (at least 36 inches/1 meter) away from
the stove. DO NOT place the fuel within the installation clearances
of the stove or within the space needed for ash removal and start up.
7. The stove must be allowed to cool before cleaning. Make sure there
are no hot ashes or embers present. Use a brush and scoop to clean.
Only use vacuums specically designed for use with hot ashes. Place
all ashes in a sealed metal container with a tight tting lid.
8. A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space,
closet or similar concealed space, or a oor or ceiling. Where
passage through a wall, or partition of combustible construction is
desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installa-
tion Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment
9. Do not connect this stove to a chimney ue serving another appliance.
10. Do NOT burn garbage or any ammable uids such as gasoline,
naphtha or engine oil. Do NOT burn treated wood, or any woods
with salt (driftwood). Burning any materials other than wood can
generate carbon monoxide (CO) in the home which can result in
illness or possibly death.
11. All homes with a solid fuel burning stove should have a minimum of
one re extinguisher in a central location known to all and a smoke
detector in the room containing the stove. If it sounds the alarm,
correct the cause but do not deactivate or remove the smoke detector.

Figure 4. Floor Protection Dimensions For a KOZI Wood Stove
Note: When installed with horizontal venting, a non-combustible oor protector
is needed under the chimney connector and must extend 2” (51 mm) on each side.
It is very important that the proper material be chosen for your oor protector. There
are a few terms that we need to know before choosing the proper oor protector:
Thermal Resistance - R
Thermal Conductivity - k
Thermal Conductance - C
The stove must be placed on an insulated surface with a minimum thermal resistance
of R = 0.30. Not all material is listed with an R-value. Follow these calculations
to calculate the R-value when it is not specied:
1. When the thermal conductivity is specied then,
R = 1/k x T (where T is the thickness of the material in inches)
2. When the thermal conductance is specied then,
R = 1/C
For multiple layers, add the R-values of each layer to determine an overall R-value.
If the overall R-value of the multiple layers is greater than or equal to 0.30, it will
be considered as a sufcient oor protector for this stove.

4. Stove Pipe (Chimney Connector) Installation
Please follow these steps carefully to ensure a proper installation. Failure to do so
can cause damage to the home, bodily harm or even death.
1. Select a location you want to install the stove. Ensure that the clear-
ances for the stove are all satised.
2. Place the stove in the location and mark on the ceiling where the
ue pipe will need to go (for a vertical installation). Use a plumb
bob or a laser to accurately mark where the center of the ue pipe
lines up on the ceiling.
3. Check the mark to see if the ue pipe will interfere with any trusses,
plumbing, wiring, joists or rafters. If any joists or rafters need to be
cut, they MUST be made structurally sound again.
4. Cut the hole in the roof and ceiling to accommodate the stove pipe.
Follow the chimney manufacturer’s instructions if extra framing
is required.
5. Install all the components as shown in Figure 5 or Figure 6. Roof
braces may be required if the chimney extends too high above the
roof.
6. Ensure that the proper stove pipe is installed with this stove. The
ue pipe on the top of the stove is designed to have a 6” diameter
chimney connector. The stove must be connected to a stove pipe
listed by the UL 103 HT standard in the United States or by the
ULC S629 Standard in Canada
7. Secure the stove pipe to the ue pipe on the top of the stove with
3 screws.
8. A chimney connector cannot pass through an attic or roof space, closet
or similar concealed space, or a oor, ceiling, wall or partition of
combustible construction. If passage through a wall or partition is
desired, the installation shall conform to the NFPA 211 standard in
the United States and to the CAN/CSA-B365 Standard (Installation
Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment) in Canada.

6. Stove Pipe Installation Through Walls
This section briey describes the different methods of combustible wall pass-
throughs (from the NFPA 211 standard in the United States).
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 the
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.
Figure 9. Chimney through the wall installation - Method A
Method B: 9” (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Using a 6” (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed factory-built Soild-Pak chimney
section with insulation of 1” (35.4 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 Soild-
Pak chimney). The inner end of the Soild-Pak chimney section should 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 the brick masonry penetration.

connector, and a minimum 24 gauge 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 gauge 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.

long, with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, and an inside diameter of 8” (2’ [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 soild-pak sec-
tion 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 gauge minimum sheet metal
supports. See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides.
Make sure fasteners are used to secure chimney ue liner

7. Chimney Termination Requirements
Follow these requirements as well as those listed by the chimney manufacturer for
clearances, securing, ashing and termination of the chimney:
1. Termination of the chimney must be a minimum of 3 ft (91 cm) above
the roof and must be at least 2 ft (61 cm) above the highest point
of the roof that is within 10 ft (305 cm). WARNING: Please note
that these are the minimum building code requirements and that it
may not ensure a suitable draft.
2. Must be located away from trees or other structures. Blocking or
restricting the termination cap may affect the stoves performance.
3. Use an approved and listed terminal cap.

III. OPERATION
1. Firewood
It is recommended to operate the stove with seasoned wood if at all possible. Sea-
soned wood is wood that has been left out to dry for an extended period of time.
A properly seasoned wood will be left out to dry for a minimum of a year. This
will ensure that the majority of moisture in the wood has been removed. Wet or
green wood burns less efciently, is difcult to burn and if the ames go out it can
create a smoldering effect. The smoldering can cause an unpleasant smell and can
create creosote in the chimney. Seasoned wood will generate more heat and burn
cleaner compared to wet or green wood.
This stove has been designed to burn both hardwood and softwood. Hardwood is
typically more dense then softwood. This will allow you to burn for longer periods
of time. However, hardwood tends to be harder to ignite. Softwood burns hot,
but burns quickly. Softwoods are easy to ignite and are great to use as kindling to
get your stove started. The key is to get properly seasoned wood for your stove
to operate efciently.
Table 4 below shows the recommended cut lengths for the rewood to be used in
the KOZI Wood Stove series. Table 4 also shows the maximum length of wood
that can be placed in each stove.
Push - Closed
Pull - Open
(Reduce draft)
(Increase draft)
Table 4. Cut lengths of the rewood for the KOZI Wood Stove Series
2. Draft Control
The primary and air wash systems are controlled by the damper rod located on the
left side of your stove (as you are facing the unit). The damper rod will allow you
to bring in more air to burn the wood faster or to reduce the amount of air to burn
the wood slower. Pulling the damper rod out will allow you increase the draft in
your stove. Pushing the damper rod in will allow you to decrease the draft in your
stove. Figure 15 shows you how the damper controls are used.

3. Building a Fire
Once the installation has been completed, you will be able to operate your KOZI
Wood Burning Stove. Please follow these directions in this section carefully.
Failure to do so can cause permanent damage to your unit and void your warranty.
a. Before starting the stove, fully open the draft control. Fully opening
the draft control helps get the unit started.
b. Open the burn chamber door and place some paper on the bottom
layer of rebrick. Place some kindling (small pieces of wood) on
top of the paper and build a re. Only use newspaper or any other
paper that is not coated or has any materials glued to it. Never use
gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuels, charcoal lighter uid or similar
liquids to start or “freshen up” a re in your stove. Keep all liquids
away from the stove while in operation. Keep the door open (ap-
proximately 1 inch) to help get the re started.
c. Once a good ame has been established and there is no smoke close
the door and continue to burn the kindling until you get a warm,
glowing coal bed. In order to produce/maintain a brisk re in the
stove you will need a hot coal bed. If it is needed, you may need to
add more kindling to get the stove hot. CAUTION: Do NOT add
any extra paper once a ame has been established.
d. At this point, open the door slowly and place a few medium sized
pieces of wood (approximately 2” x 4” x 5”) on top of your coal
bed. Ensure that you leave some space between the pieces to allow
air to move freely between the fuel. Placing large logs at this point
may put the ames out and cause smoldering. It is more efcient
at this point to place the medium sized pieces of wood and refuel
more often then placing large logs. Keep the door open slightly
until the logs have ignited. Closing the door fully at this point may
put out your ame.
e. Once the medium sized pieces of wood have caught re close the
door fully. This will help keep the heat within the stove and prevent
all the heat from escaping into the chimney.
f. Once the medium sized pieces of wood have caught re you can
load the stove with the large logs and operate the stove normally.
Once again open the door slowly and you can now place wood all
the way up to the top of the door. Leave the door open slightly and
once the logs have ignited and you have a stable ame, close the
door and adjust the damper to your desired setting. (For maximum
efciency fully load the stove to the top of the door opening and
operate the stove at a moderate level).
g. Wait until the fuel burns down to a glowing coal bed and repeat the
process.
Note: Ensure that the fueling door is closed during operation.

Page 17
Please note that the rst time you are trying to burn the stove the brick lining inside
of the burn chamber area will have moisture. This moisture will need to be removed
out of the brick in order to operate the stove properly. You must burn the stove for
30-40 hours on a medium damper setting to break in the stove. Create only small
res using kindling. This will allow the bricks to release the moisture and cure
properly. During the break in period, it is normal to see some small cracks appear in
the brick. This will not cause any safety issues in the future, so do not be alarmed.
In your rst few res you may also smell paint coming from the stove. If you
smell smoke during the rst few res, open a window or a door to help remove the
smell. The paint will need some time to cure when it is heated for the rst time.
It is recommended that you burn the stove on a medium level the rst few res to
allow the paint to cure and not get damaged.
When refueling the wood stove, open the damper fully for approximately 15-30
seconds and crack the door open slightly. Allow the re to adjust to reduce the
amount of smoke produced when the door is fully opened for refueling.
A stove operating with a dirty glass is a good indicator that the stove is not burning
properly. This can be caused by incomplete combustion (not enough air to burn
the wood properly), a cool stove, wet wood or a weak chimney draft.
CAUTION: Do NOT over-re the wood stove. If you notice the stove or chimney
connector glowing, you are over-ring the stove. Over-ring can cause a hazard-
ous situation and can cause damage to your stove. Over-ring will VOID the
warranty on your stove.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE
DO NOT USE GRATES, ANDIRONS OR OTHER METHODS OF
SUPPORTING THE FUEL
4. Poor Draft
Having a good draft in your stove is very important. Having a good draft allows
you to have no problems during start up, no spillage of smoke during refueling, no
foul odors coming into the home, etc. The most common factors of a poor draft are:
1. Air supply: Inside the home, household appliances such as clothes
dryers, bathroom fans, central vacuums, forced-air furnaces, etc.,
will compete for air, resulting in air starvation to the re. This cre-
ates a condition in the house known as negative pressure. When a
negative pressure situation occurs, the combustion gases from the
chimney can be drawn into the house (commonly referred to as
“down-drafting”). Increased amounts of insulation, vinyl windows

Page 18
and extra caulking in various places can all help retain heat in the
home but at the same time make it too airtight. A simple way to
eliminate a negative pressure situation in your home is to crack open
a window in the room where the stove is located.
2. Environmental conditions: High trees, low-lying house location (in
a valley), tall buildings or large structures surrounding your home
and windy conditions can all contribute in causing a poor draft.
3. Cold chimney: Avoid cold chimney temperatures by burning a hot
re for the rst 15-45 minutes (be careful not to over-re the stove).
Where possible, install a temperature gauge on the ue pipe to help
monitor the temperature.
4. Chimney installation and maintenance: Avoid using too many
elbows and/or horizontal runs in your conguration. Too short a
chimney can cause difcult start-up, dirty glass, smoking when the
door is open and even reduced heat output. Too tall a chimney may
prompt excessive draft, which can result in very short burn times and
excessive heat output. If in doubt, contact a chimney expert and/or
chimney manufacturer for help. Clean the chimney, rain caps and
especially the spark arrestor regularly to prevent creosote build up
(which will signicantly reduce chimney draw).
5. Optional Fan Kit
Refer to the wiring diagram before installing the fan kit. Figure 16 shows how to
install your fan kit to your KOZI Wood Stove.
1. Open the KOZI Wood Stove Fan Kit and inspect for any missing
or damaged parts.
2. Do not plug the fan assembly into an electrical outlet until the instal-
lation has been completed.
3. Remove the back cover plate on the KOZI Wood Stove as shown
in Figure 15.
4. Secure the KOZI Wood Stove Fan Kit to the stove with screws.
5. Plug the fan into a 120 V outlet and ensure that the fan is working.

After placing the large logs into the stove plug the fan into a 120 V outlet to get the
fan started. The fan will always run at full speed during operation.
To shut the fan off wait for the stove to cool down. Once the stove is cold, unplug
the fan from the 120 V outlet
Note: This fan is intended for use with the Model 1200, Model 1600, Model 2000
and Model 2400 wood stoves only. Do not route the power cord under the stove.

IV. MAINTENANCE
1. Firebox Maintenance
It is mandatory that the rebox be cleaned on a frequent basis. Never clean the
rebox when the stove is still in operation. Let the ame extinguish and allow
enough time for the stove to cool down. Remove the ashes, but leave a coal bed
with a depth of approximately 1” in the rebox. This will help you get the stove
started easier and allow for a more uniform burn. Do NOT allow the coal bed to
reach above the bottom door opening.
Even though the stove is cold when the ashes are removed, it is still possible to
have hot embers. Ensure to place the ashes in a metal container with a tight t-
ting lid. Do not place the container on a combustible surface and do not place the
ashes within the clearances to combustibles of the wood stove. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
metal container until all embers have fully cooled off. Ensure that no other waste
materials are placed in the metal container containing the ashes.
2. Creosote
When wood is being burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which
combine with moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors will then condense
in the cool chimney ue, of a slow burning re, and can accumulate on the sides
of the ue lining. If the creosote is ignited it can create an extremely hot re.
In order to prevent chimney res from occurring, we recommend the following:
a. Have the venting system inspected and cleaned annually (or more
frequently if needed) by a certied chimney sweep. They can also
x and repair the system if needed.
b. Have the chimney cleaned and inspected by a certied chimney sweep
annually (or more frequently if needed). Ensure that the chimney
sweep inspects the chimney for any structural damage and to check
the liner to ensure it does not need to be replaced. It is recommended
that you do a visual inspection of your chimney about twice a month
to ensure that there is no creosote build up.
c. Use only well-seasoned wood and avoid operating the stove on a
low setting for extended periods of time.
d. Install the stove according to the manual. Ensure that you have
the proper clearances to combustibles and that venting is installed
correctly.
