1 Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may vary subject to location in home, chimney draft,heat loss factors, climate, fuel type and other variables. The recommended heated area for a given appliance is defined by the manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum acceptable temperature in the designated area in case of a power failure. 2 The overall firebox calculation is an approximation and is not intended to be used for loading. This volume includes a buffer zone to allow an easier fuel insertion, prevent ash spillage and allow the air wash to work properly. 3 The maximum heat output (dry cordwood) is based on a loading density varying between 15 lb/ft3 and 20 lb/ft3. Other performances are based on a fuel load prescribed by the standard. The specified loading density varies between 7 lb/ft³ and 12 lb/ft3. The moisture content is between 19% and 25%. 4 As measured per CSA B415.1-10 stack loss method. 5 Higher Heating Value of the fuel. 6 Lower Heating Value of the fuel. 7 Optimum overall efficiency at a specific burn rate (LHV). 8 The optimum heat transfer efficiency is for the low burn rate and represents the appliance’s ability to convert the energy contained in the wood logs into energy transferred to the room in the form of heat and does not take into account the chemical losses during combustion. 9 This appliance is officially tested and certified by an independent agency. 10 Tested and certified in compliance with CFR 40 part 60, subpart AAA, section 60.534(a)(1(ii) and ASTM E3053-17 based on the ALT-125 send by EPA on February 28th, 2018. 11 Carbon monoxide.

2.4 EPA Loading Procedure
The loading methods shown below are those that were used during emissions certification.
2.4.1 Air control
The air control is located above the door. To open the air control, insert the removable handle onto
the air control and push the air control handle A
completely to the right (High). This will increase the burn rate. To close the air control, push the air control handle completely to the left (Low). This will decrease the burn rate. Do not leave the handle on the air control after use, as it will get very hot.
2.4.2 High burn rate (primary air control open)
Open the air control completely. Criss cross 6 kindling wood pieces in the back of the firebox. Then, place six small pieces (2″x2″) of wood on the kindling crossing them at the greatest possible angle. Criss cross ten others kindling wood pieces on the small pieces of wood. Tie knot with five sheets of paper and place them on top of the kindling wood. Light up the paper and let the door completely open for two minutes. Close the door.
When the kindling and the small pieces of wood are almost completely burnt out and it is possible to break them into pieces, level the coal bed and put four logs in the firebox in an eastwest orientation. Place a medium log (about 4″x4″) in front of the combustion chamber and the biggest log (about 5″x5″) in the back of the combustion chamber. Place the last two medium pieces on top of the two others in an orientation that points to the right. Do not leave space between the pieces. Let the door open ajar at 90° for 5 minutes and close the door.
2.4.3 Medium and low burn rate
On a 2″ coal bed that is still red, place five logs of approximatively 4″x4″ or 3″x3″ with an eastwest orientation. Place two logs on the coal bed with approximatively 4″ between them and the other three on top. There should be air space between each logs and between the logs and the bricks. Let the door ajar at 90° for 5 minutes and then close the door with the primary air control fully 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.
WARNING
Before opening the door completely to add wood to the insert, the fan must be turned OFF to avoid blowing ash outside the combustion chamber. Refer to section “5.1 Blower” of the owner’s manual for how to turn OFF the fan.

3.3 R Value
There are two ways to calculate the R-value of the floor protection. First, by adding the R-values of materials used, or by the conversion if the K factor and thickness of the floor protection are given.
To calculate the total R value from R values of the materials used, simply add the R-values of materials. If the result is equal to or greater than the R-value requirements, the combination is acceptable. R-values of some selected materials are shown below.

Table 2 : Thermal Characteristics of Common Floor Protection Materials2

1From door opening. The depth of the hearth extension in front of the insert is included in the calculation of the floor protector’s dimensions. The masonry hearth should be at least 5″ (127 mm) higher than the combustible floor in front of it and a floor protection must extend at least 16″ (406 mm USA) and at least 18″ (457 mm Canada) without an R value. If the hearth elevation is lower than 5″ (127 mm), the non-combustible (B) floor protection in front of the insert should have an R value equal or greater than 1.00 and shall extend 23″ (584 mm) in front of the unit.

Exemple:
Required floor protection R of 1.00. Proposed materials: four inches of brick and one inch of Durock® board:
Four inches of brick (R = 4 x 0,2 = 0,8) plus 1 inch of Durock® (R = 1 x 0.52 = 0.52).
0.8 + 0.52 = 1.32.
This R value is larger than the required 1.00 and is therefore acceptable.
In the case of a known K and thickness of alternative materials to be used in combination, convert all K values to R by dividing the thickness of each material by its K value. Add R values of the proposed materials as shown in the previous example.
Exemple: K value = 0.75 Thickness = 1 R value = Thickness/K = 1/0.75 = 1.33

ENGLISH

1 Horizontal still air can’t be «stack» to accumulate R-values; each layer must be separated with another non-combustible material.

4. Installing Options on Your Product and Replacing Parts
4.1 Replacement and Adjustment 4.1.1 Door Note: The images shown are for guidance only and may be different from your product, but the assembly remains the same. In order for the insert to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically to check for a good seal. 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.
4.1.2 Adjustment The gasket seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment: 1. Remove the split pin by pulling and turning it using pliers. 2. Turn the handle one counterclockwise turn to increase pressure. 3. Reinstall the split pin with a small hammer.

8x 8x 2x

2. Remove the screws (A), the 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.

Figure 9 : Replacing the glass

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

4.1.5 Glass Gasket Replacement
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.
