ASSEMBLY
OSBURN 2300
Pedestal Base Installation:
1. Slide the ash pan in position.
Side Panels :
1. Start by fixing the front part of the
decorative side in the two clips
welded on the sides of the fire box.
2. Then, fix the back of the decorative
side with two screws and washers
supplied. Line up the decorative
side parallel to the side of the
appliance.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT
In order for your stove to operate properly, the door should be adjusted periodically to provide
an air tight fit. To adjust:
•Remove the lock pin (spring pin) by pulling and turning it using pliers ("wise grip")
•Turn the handle counter clock wise one turn to increase pressure
•Re-install the lock pin (spring pin) with a small hammer

INSTALLATION
SAFETY NOTICE
•IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED,A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE,FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE,BODILY INJURY,OR EVEN DEATH.
•CONSULT YOUR MUNICIPAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND
INSTALLATIONS REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
•USE SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE ROOM WHERE YOUR STOVE IS INSTALLED.
•KEEP FURNITURE AND DRAPES WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE.
•NEVER USE GASOLINE,GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL,KEROSENE,CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID,OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP"A FIRE.KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
THE STOVE.
•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.
•ASOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM OR SPACE HEATED SHALL BE PROVIDED WHEN REQUIRED.
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.
This heating unit must serve as a supplementary heat source. An alternative heat source should be
available in the home if needed. The manufacturer cannot be responsible for additional heating costs
associated with the use of an alternative heat source.
It is highly recommended that the user buys this product from a retailer who can provide installation
and maintenance advices.

8
FLOOR PROTECTOR
Your wood stove should be placed on a non-combustible surface with a R value of 1.0. For
multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value. The floor
protector should be under the stove, eighteen inches beyond the front and eight inches
beyond each side of the fuel loading and ash removal opening. If there is a horizontal
section of chimney connector, the floor protector should go under it and two inches beyond
each side.
Convert specification to R-value:
k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R=1/k x T
C-factor is given: R=1/C
Example:
If the floor protector is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a k
factor of 0.29 the total R-value of the system is:
4” brick C=1.25, R=1/1.25=0.8
1/8” mineral board K=0.29, R=1/0.29 x 0.125=0.431
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231
Total R is greater than 1.0, the system is acceptable.
The floor protector should exceed the stove as follows:
FRONT
18’’
(460 mm)
SIDES
8’’
(200 mm)
BACK
8’’
(200 mm)
From the door opening.

CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLES
It is of outmost importance that the clearances to combustible materials be scrupulously
respected upon installation of the stove you have selected. Refer to the tables below :
Single pipe / Double pipe
Model A B C D E F
OSBURN 2300 6/6 12/12 8.5/8.5 12.7/12.7 23.9/23.9 20.4/20.4
•Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7' (84") in all cases.
•The clearance between the flue pipe and a wall are valid only for vertical walls and for
vertical flue pipe.
•The flue pipe must not go through roof trussing, an attic, a wardrobe, a floor, a
combustible partition, or similar spaces.
•A flue pipe crossing a combustible wall must have a minimum clearance of 18".
•To reduce flue pipe clearances from combustible materials, contact your local safety
department.

10
REDUCED CLEARANCES (CANADA ONLY)
You may decrease the clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or
the ceiling and the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and
can include sheet metal, a rigid non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall.
Clearances of not less than 1" (25 mm) and not more than 3" (76 mm) between the bottom of
the shield and the floor and not less than 3" (76 mm) between the top of the shield and the
ceiling must be respected to allow vertical air circulation behind the shield.
The shield must extend 20" (500 mm) above the stove top and 18" (450mm) to each side of
the stove.
Following the installation of such a heat radiation shield, the clearances mentioned on the
stove certification plate may be reduced as stated in the following table.
