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.

8
POSITIONING THE STOVE
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 efficient 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 fire or fall to respect required clearances.
FLOOR PROTECTOR
Your wood stove should be placed on a non-combustible surface. Install a floor protection
using a 6mm thick fibre cement sheet with thermal conductivity of 0.41W/m degree K
underneath the heater.
The floor protector should project beyond the stove as follows:
Minimum Distance From the Door Opening
FRONT
300 mm
SIDES
200 mm
BACK
N/A

9
CLEARANCES TO HEAT-SENSITIVE MATERIALS
It is of outmost importance that the clearances to heat-sensitive materials be
carefully maintained upon installation of the stove you have selected. Refer to the
table below :
CLEARANCES TO HEAT SENSITIVE MATERIALS
Model A B C D E
OSBURN 1000 100mm 350mm 150mm 300mm 100mm*
*200 mm from door opening.
Floor to ceiling height must be at least 1,500 mm in all cases.
The clearance between the flue pipe and a wall are valid only for vertical walls and for
vertical flue pipe.
WHERE THE FLUE PASSES THROUGH WALLS,CEILINGS OR ROOFS,VENTILATED DOUBLE FLUE-
PIPE CASINGS MUST BE USED AROUND THE FLUE PIPE,ALONG WITH CEILING PLATES AS
SPECIFIED IN AS/NZS2918:2001.

10
REDUCED CLEARANCES USING SHIELDING
You may decrease the minimum clearances to heat-sensitive materials by installing heat
radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. These heat radiation
shields must be installed permanently, and must be made of a heat-resistant or heat-
tolerant material.
An air gap must separate the heat shield from any heat-sensitive surface. Furthermore,
the heat shield shall extend in all directions beyond the boundaries of the appliance
surface by a distance of not less than 450 mm. Exceptions may apply. Refer to
AS/NZS2918:2001.
Following the installation of such heat radiation shields, the minimum clearances to heat-
sensitive materials may be reduced by applying the clearances factor in the table below:
CONSTRUCTIONS AND CLEARANCES FACTORS FOR APPLIANCES HEAT SHIELDS WHICH
ARE WITHIN 45OOF THE VERTICAL
HEAT SHIELD CONSTRUCTIONS Minimum air gap dimensions

Two spaced layers of continuous material 12+12 0.20
NOTES :
1- Masonry may be used as a heat shield material.
2- Where heat shields are used to reduce appliance clearance dimensions, additional
flue shielding may also be required. Refer to AS/NZS2918:2001.
3- Non standard installations – Refer to AS/NZS2918 for guidance.

THIS STOVE IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH THE DOOR OPEN.THE DOOR MAY BE OPEN ONLY
DURING LIGHTING PROCEDURES.NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS
OPEN.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION,KEEP CHILDREN,CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY.CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.WEAR GLOVES TO OPERATE YOUR STOVE.
CAUTION
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF PRESERVATIVE-TREATED WOOD AS A FUEL CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
Your stove was designed to burn wood only; no other material should be burnt. Waste
and other flammable materials should not be burnt in your wood stove.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU USE DRY WOOD ONLY IN YOUR WOOD
STOVE. The wood must have dried for 9 to 15 months, such that the moisture content
below 20%. It is very important to keep in mind that even if the wood has been cut one,
two or even more years, it is not necessarily dry.

13
Many problems related to the operation of a wood stove are caused by the fact that the
wood used is too damp or has dried in poor conditions. These problems can be:
problems lighting the fire
creosote build-up causing flue fires
low energy yield
blackened windows
incomplete log combustion
Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 150 mm in diameter should be
split. The wood should not be stored directly on the ground. Air should circulate through
the cord. A half to one metre air gap 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 element but not the sides.
TESTING YOUR WOOD
When the stove is thoroughly warmed, place one piece of split wood (about 130 mm 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 vapour 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 flue system, creating potential conditions for a flue fire.
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 fires in your stove for the first four hours of
operation. Never open the air control more than necessary to achieve a medium burn rate.
Make sure that there is enough air circulation while curing the stove. The odours could be
smelled during the 3 or 4 first fires. Never start your stove outside. You will not be able to
see if you are over heating. The smoke resulting from the paint curing process is not
toxic.

14
LITHING THE FIRE
After making sure that the stove air intake controls are fully open to the left (located on the
front of the stove, see Figure 3), place several rumpled sheets of paper in the center of the
combustion chamber. Place 8 to 10 pieces of small dry kindling wood over the paper in
the form of a tent. You may also place a few pieces of heating wood, but choose the
smaller ones. No chemical product should be used to light the fire.
Before igniting the paper and kindling wood, it is recommended that you warm up the flue.
This is done in order to avoid back draught 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 flue. Once the
updraught movement is initiated, you are ready to ignite the stove by lighting the paper
and kindling wood inside the combustion chamber.
We therefore suggest that you to leave the door slightly opened (20 mm) for a few
minutes, under supervision, in order to allow for good combustion. After this time, you
must close the door and progressively adjust the air control to obtain the desired
temperature.
Use Table 1 to adjust the draught control to the desired burn rate:
Burn Rate Air Control Setting
Low Move Control against the R.H. side.
Medium Low Move Control right by 15-20mm from closed position.
Medium High Move Control right by 20-45mm from closed position.
High Move Control against the L.H. side.
Table 1: Air Control Setting
Closing the draught control down too soon will lower combustion efficiency, and may result
in creosote build-up in the flue system (which could lead to a future chimney fire).
CAUTION:THE ADJUSTMENT RANGE SHOULD NOT BE ALTERED FOR INCREASED FIRING FOR ANY REASON.

15
Figure 3 : Air control setting
HEATING
Controlled combustion is the most efficient 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 push it completely to the righ, it is fully open. If you push it fully to
the left, the combustion air is reduced to a minimum.
Your OSBURN stove may burn differently according to the species of wood used, its
moisture content, the size and density of the pieces, the length of the flue, the altitude, and
outside temperature.
WARNINGS
NEVER OVERFIRE 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.
NEVER LOAD YOUR STOVE UP TO THE BAFFLE.ALWAYS LEAVE 5TO 10 CENTIMETERS TO ALLOW
PROPER COMBUSTION THROUGH SECONDARY AIR OPENINGS (NEVER PUT WOOD ABOVE THE
FIREBRICK LINING ON THE FIREBOX). THIS WILL ALSO PREVENT OVERFIRING OF YOUR STOVE.
THE INSTALLATION OF A LOG CRADLE IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN YOUR OSBURN WOOD STOVE.
SHOULD THERE BE A SOOT OR CREOSOTE FIRE IN YOUR FLUE SYSTEM,CLOSE THE AIR CONTROL
COMPLETELY.IMMEDIATELY CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

16
RELOADING
Once you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. In order to do
so, open the air control to its maximum for approximately 15 seconds prior to opening the
stove door. Then, proceed by opening the door very slowly; open it by 20 to 40 mm for 10
to 15 seconds before opening it completely. This procedure will increase the draught 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. Depending on the
type of wood you burn and the strength of the draught in your flue, you may have to
leave the air control open to its maximum for more than 15 seconds to avoid smoke
spillage before you reload the stove.
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 by opening a
window slightly.
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
When wood is burnt slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool
flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue system.
When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. When burning wood, the flue
system should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to
determine if a creosote build-up has occurred.
PREVENTING CREOSOTE BUILD UP
Always burn dry wood. This allows clean burns and higher flue temperatures, therefore
less creosote deposit.
Leave the air control full open for about 10 minutes after reloading the stove to bring it
back to proper operating temperatures. The secondary combustion can only take place if
the firebox is hot enough.
Always check for creosote deposit once every two months and have your flue system
cleaned at least once a year.

17
ASH DISPOSAL
Ashes should be removed from the stove every few days or when ashes get to 50 to
75mm deep. Always empty the stove when it is cold, such as in the morning.
Always dispose of ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Place this container on
a non combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all heat-sensitive materials,
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the close container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
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 DUMP CAP REMOVED.THIS WOULD RESULT IN OVER
FIRING THE STOVE.DAMAGE TO THE STOVE AND EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
ASH DISPOSAL USING ASH DRAWER
1. Make sure the fire is out, and the stove is cold.
2. Lift the ash dump plug at the left rear of the firebox by hooking the poker through
the loop on the cover and lifting up.
3. Push the ashes through the hole and leave some ashes to cover the ash dump plug
once it is replaced. Leave an ash bed of approximately 25mm deep on the firebox bottom
to help maintain a hot ember bed.
4. Clear the ashes from the area where the plug normally sits so that it will properly
seat against the opening edges; tap it down with your poker to ensure proper seating.

18
5. Cover the plug with the remaining ashes and continue operation of your stove as
usual. The Ash Drawer is shown in Figure 4 and can be removed by pulling it out toward
you. Lift the Ash Drawer slightly or the pedestal base may get scratched. Close the rear half
of the Ash Drawer lid to prevent spillage. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tightly fitting lid. This closed container should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. Ensure the rear half
of the lid is open before replacing the Ash Drawer.
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Do not place other
waste materials in the metal ash container. If bright embers are glowing above the ash dump
port during a low or medium low fire, air may be leaking past the ash plug. If this is
happening, a possible over fire hazard exists. The stove should be shut down and allowed to
cool. Properly seal the ash dump plug to the stove.

19
PAINT
Only clean your stove with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the paint finish.
If the paint becomes scratched or damaged, it is possible to give your wood stove a brand
new look, by repainting it with a 650oC heat resistant paint. For this purpose, simply scrub
the surface to be repainted with fine sand paper, clean it properly, and apply thin coats (2)
of paint successively.
