2.3 Dimensions
2.3.1 Stove Dimensions 2.3.2 Combustion Chamber Dimensions 2.4 EPA Loading
The loading methods shown below are those that were used during emissions certification.
2.4.1 Air control
The air control is located underneath the ash shelf. To open the air control, push the air control handle completely to the left (High). This will increase the burn rate. To close the air control, push the air control handle completely to the right (Low). This will decrease the burn rate. 2.4.2 High burn rate (primary air control open)
Open the air control completely. Place six small pieces (2″x2″) of wood in the firebox crossing them at the greatest possible angle. Criss cross fifteen kindling wood pieces on the small pieces of wood in three layers at the greatest possible angle. Tie knot with five sheets of paper and place them on top of the kindling wood. Light up the paper and let the door ajar at 90° until all the kindling wood is on fire and the first row of small pieces of wood is on fire too. Close the door.
When there is no more fire in the front of the firebox and there are only faint flames on the wood in the back of the firebox, break ashes, level the coal bed and put four logs in the firebox. Place the biggest log (about 5″x5″) and a medium log (about 4″x4″) on the coal bed with a north-south orientation. Place two other medium logs on the first two with the greatest possible angle. Their should be air space between each logs and between the logs and the bricks. Let the door ajar at 90° for approximately two minutes and then close the door.
2.4.3 Medium and low burn rate
On a 2″ coal bed that is still slightly red, place five logs of approximatively 4″x4″ or 3″x3″ with a north-south orientation. Place three logs on the coal bed and the other two on top with the greatest possible angle. Their should be air space between each logs and between the logs and the bricks. Let the door ajar at 90° for approximately 5 min. Then, close the door with the primary air control open. Leave to burn with the primary air control open for approximately 10 minutes and then close the primary air control completely for the low burn rate and halfway for the medium burn rate.

Clearances to Combustible Material

The clearances shown in this section have been determined by tests according to procedures set out in safety standards ULC S627 (Canada), UL 1482 (U.S.A.) and UL 737 (U.S.A.). When the stove is installed so that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances specified, combustible surfaces will not overheat under normal and even abnormal operating conditions. No part of the stove or flue pipe may be located closer to combustibles than the minimum clearance figures given.
The clearances to combustible walls may be slightly different in Canada and the U.S.A. and may also differ depending on whether single or double wall flue pipe is used. Make sure to choose the correct clearance for the stove location and type of flue pipe.
The clearances of the appliance and the flue pipes must be met individually, meaning the appliance cannot be installed closer to the combustible materials than the single or double wall pipe allows. For a safe way to reduce clearances refer to section”5. Reducing Wall and Ceiling Clearances Safely” of this manual.

Floor Protection

This stove is designed to prevent the floor from overheating. However, it must be placed on a non-flammable surface to protect the floor from hot embers that may fall during loading.
The floor protection must be a continuous, non combustible material, such as steel with a minimum thickness of 0.015″ (0.38 mm) or ceramic tiles sealed together with grout. Cement board, brick, or any other approved or listed material suited for floor protection. No R factor required.
Any type of tile will require a continuous non combustible sheet beneath to prevent the possibility of embers falling through to the combustible floor if cracks or separation should occur in the finished surface. Check local codes for approved alternatives.
No protection is required if the unit is installed on a non-combustible floor (ex: concrete).

23. Only required below the horizontal section (Ho) of the connector. Must exceed at least 2″ (51 mm) on each side of the connector.

Reducing Wall and Ceiling Clearances Safely

It is often desired to use as little space as possible when installing a wood stove. To do this, it is possible to reduce the clearances safely and install the stove closer to the walls by permanently installing a heat shield between the stove and the flammable material.
The rules for heat shields are sometimes complicated. Read and apply the instructions carefully. Some regions may have different regulations. Consult the local building code or contact the fire department for restrictions, inspection and installation requirements in the area. 5.1 Shield Construction Rules
− Adhesives used in shield construction must not ignite or lose adhesive qualities at temperatures likely to be encountered.
− Mounting hardware which extends from the shield surface into combustibles may be used only at the edges of the shield.
− Mounting hardware must allow full vertical ventilation.
A) Minimum clearance between the appliance top and an unshielded combustible ceiling: 39 7/8″ (1013 mm)
B) Shield extension above the appliance: 20″ (500 mm)
C) Minimum space behind the shield: 1″ (25 mm). In Canada 7/8″ (21 mm)
D) Clearance along the bottom of the shield: minimum 1″ (25 mm) and maximum 3″ (75 mm)
E) Minimum clearance along the top of the shield: 3″ (75 mm)
F) Mounting hardware must not be located closer than 8″ (200 mm) from the vertical centre line of the appliance.
G) Edge clearance for ceiling shields to side and back walls: 3″ (75 mm)
H) Shield extension beyond each side of the appliance: 18″ (450 mm)

Maintenance/Parts Replacement

Do not clean the glass when the stove is hot.
Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut.
Do not use the stove if the glass is broken.
7.1 Replacement
The glass used is a ceramic glass, 5/32″ (4 mm) thick, tested to reach temperatures up to 1400º F. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with one having the same specification.
To remove or replace the glass (D):
THE IMAGES SHOWN ARE FOR GUIDANCE ONLY AND MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM YOUR PRODUCT, BUT THE ASSEMBLY REMAINS THE SAME.

1. Remove the door (E) from its hinges and lay it on a soft, flat surface.
2. Remove the eight screws (A), the eight glass retainers (B), and the metal frames (C).
3. Remove the glass (D). If it is damaged install a new one in place. The replacement glass must have a gasket all around (see procedure below).
4. Reinstall the glass, being careful to centre the glass in the door and not to over-tightening the retaining screw.

The two main causes of broken door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-tightening the retaining screws.

7.2 Gasket
The glass gasket is flat, adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass.

1. Follow the steps of the previous section to remove the glass.
2. Remove the old gasket and clean the glass thoroughly.
3. Peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up.
4. Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of the glass down onto the gasket, taking care that it is perfectly centred on the gasket.
5. Peel off more of the backing and rotate the glass. The gasket must not be stretched during installation.
6. Cut the gasket to the required length.
7. Pinch the gasket onto the glass in a U shape, all around the glass.

7.3 Door
In order for the stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox. The tightness of the door seal can be verified by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper. The test must be performed all around the door. If the paper slips out easily anywhere, either adjust the door or replace the gasket. 7.3.1 Door Alignment (serie # 540 and +)
To align, open the door and loosen the pressures screws located on the lower and upper hinges of the door using a 3/32” Allen key to free the adjustable hinge rods.Using a flat screwdriver, turn the adjustable hinge rods in the direction shown to adjust the doors. Tighten all door hinge pressure screws when they are at the desired positions.
Configurations 1-2-3-4-5-6, show in which direction these act on the adjustment of the door. 7.3.2 Gasket
It is important to replace the gasket with another having the same diameter and density to maintain a good seal.

1. Remove the door and place it face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or a piece of carpet.
2. Remove the old gasket from the door. Use a screwdriver to scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door gasket groove.
3. Apply a bead of approximately 3/16″ (5 mm) of high temperature silicone in the door gasket groove. Starting from the middle, hinges side, press the gasket into the groove. The gasket must not be stretched during installation.
4. Leave about ½” long of the gasket when cutting and press the end into the groove. Tuck any loose fibers under the gasket and into the silicone.
5. Close the door. Do not use the stove for 24 hours
