Notes on Stove Operation and Efficiency

Rating
You have purchased a Hearthstone Mansfield tested to EPA Method 28R 40 CFR Part 60 where applicable. This stove is certified to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2020 particulate emissions standard using crib wood. It is certified at 0.54 gr/hr. emission rate and under specific test conditions has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from 14,043 to 32,200 Btu (output).

This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum allowable low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual. Please refer to the Warranty section of this manual for registration instructions. In case of warranty claims, please contact the point of original sale or the nearest authorized Hearthstone dealer. Our dealer network processes all warranty claims. Authorized Hearthstone dealers can be located at www.hearthstonestoves.com.

This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods. DO NOT BURN: Garbage, lawn clippings, materials containing rubber (including tires), materials containing plastic, waste petroleum products paints or paint thinners, asphalt products, materials containing asbestos, construction or demolition debris, railroad ties, pressure-treated wood, manure or animal remains, salt water driftwood or other previously salt-water saturated materials, unseasoned wood, paper products, cardboard, plywood or particleboard.

This prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, sawdust, wax, and similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire in an affected wood heater. Burning these materials may result in the release toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke. Following the maintenance guidelines set forth in this manual will help ensure the efficient use of your wood heater and minimize visible emissions. Having your stove inspected by a trained professional on a regular basis will greatly increase the potential for recognizing potential impacts to efficiency.

Proper draft is important to the efficient operation of your heater. Refer to the Normal Operation section of this manual for information regarding adequate draft. Both excessive and sub-minimum draft can affect the efficiency of your wood heater. Excessive draft can lead to over-consumption of fuel, lower overall heating capacity of the stove and potential over-firing. Low draft can result in inefficient burns, low heat output, the expulsion of smoke into the living area when stove doors are opened and an increased potential for the build-up of flammable materials in the flue.

Efficiency:
Efficiency was measured and weighted using EPA Method 28R and CSA B415-10 methodology. A weighted average was used to calculate the overall efficiency across all of the 4 burn rate categories using the higher heating value (HHV). The weighted average efficiency is 77.7% (HHV). To maximize the efficiency of your wood stove, make sure it is sized properly for the space you plan to heat. An oversized stove will often be forced to burn at a lower and dirtier burn rate. Consult with your dealer for sizing and correctly placing the stove in your home. An incorrectly placed stove can greatly reduce efficiency. Maximizing the efficiency of your stove will heat your house quickly, burn cleaner and use less wood.

Refer to the Choosing Firewood section of this manual for appropriate fuel selection. Seasoned firewood is typically at or near 20% moisture content. This can be measured with any number of hand-held moisture meters available through your local hearth shop. Follow the instructions included in the meter you purchase to measure fuel wood moisture content. Burn only dry, seasoned wood as using wet wood will greatly reduce your efficiency.

CO Emissions
The Mansfield has the following CO emission rates by burn level: Category 1 (low) –16.03 g/hr., Category 2 (med. low) – 24.7 g/hr., Category 3 (med. high) – 77.75 g/hr. and Category 4 – 64.51 g/hr. Wet wood or unapproved fuel described above can greatly affect the emissions of a wood-burning stove.

Smoke/Fire/CO Detectors

It is highly recommended that smoke and CO detectors be installed throughout the heated space when a wood-burning heater is installed. Be certain to install these devices not only in the area where the wood appliance is located but also in bedrooms, hallways leading to other areas of the house and all common areas of the heated space. Check the batteries in these devices and assure operation by performing whatever test operations are recommended by the manufacturer.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Mansfield woodstove from Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products. This stove will provide years of comfortable heat. This stove combines the warmth and comfort of soapstone and cast iron with the efficiency of advanced catalytic technology. The Mansfield blends modern technology with the unique beauty and qualities of cast iron. We trust that you will appreciate the quality of this handcrafted product.

Your Mansfield woodstove burns very efficiently and produces a large amount of heat. However, you should not consider your Mansfield the primary heat source for your home. The Mansfield’s large glass window allows you to enjoy the fire from a variety of locations in the room. Please read this manual in its entirety. Its purpose is to familiarize you with your stove’s safe installation, proper break-in, operation and maintenance. It contains extremely important information so keep it handy and refer to it often.

A qualified heating technician may need this owner’s manual as a reference when installing this stove in your home. There are national, state, and local building codes that direct the technician on how to install your stove. These codes stipulate the dimensions of stovepipe and clearances to walls, ceilings, hearth, and other combustible surfaces. The codes exist to reduce the risk of fire. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, property damage, bodily injury, and even death.

Install the stove in a safe, open area, away from traffic flow, doors, and hallways. If possible, try to install the stove near an existing chimney and chimney connector. It is extremely important to install this stove with the proper clearance from combustible surfaces. You can purchase specific connector pipe and special wall coverings as specified by this manual and the NFPA 211 code to protect combustible surfaces. As a general rule, keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and other combustibles at least 36 inches (92 cm) away from the stove. Never install the stove in or near a storage location for gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or any other flammable liquids. Install the stove in your central living area to allow heat to radiate naturally to distant rooms. Do not install your stove in a poorly insulated area. This is inefficient and would likely result in higher fuel usage.

SAFETY NOTICE
AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED STOVE CAN RESULT IN A HOUSE FIRE. FOR YOUR SAFETY, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTIONS IN YOUR AREA.

The safety of your stove will depend on many factors, some of which include: distance to combustible objects, correct venting, and adequate chimney maintenance.

Outside combustion air may be required if

1. This solid-fuel-fired appliance does not draw steadily, smoke rollout occurs, fuel burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or not is combustion present.

2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as fireplaces or other heating appliances, smell, do not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back-draft whether or not there is
   combustion present.

3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms

The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight-fitting windows and/or has any powered devices that exhaust house air. There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter. A ventilation system is installed in the house. If these or other indications suggest that infiltration air is inadequate, additional combustion air should be provided from the outdoors. Outside combustion air can be provided to the appliance by using the optional outside air kit #90-53220

PERIODIC CHECKLIST

• Perform each of these tasks at the specified intervals. At the End of Every Week:
• Empty ashes from the firebox, sooner if the firebox is full. At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
• Depending upon your use of the stove, visually inspect the chimney connector and chimney for creosote. (see page 30)
• Check door seals using the “dollar bill test.” – When the stove is cool, shut the door on a dollar bill.
• If the bill pulls out without any resistance, then your stove’s door is not sealing properly. To tighten the seal, adjust the door latch mechanism or change the door gasket. (Refer to page 30.)
• Inspect the face of the catalytic combustor for fly ash and soot. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove if present.
• It is recommended to visually inspect the catalytic combustor at least 3 times during the heating season, or every 2-3 months. At the End of Every Season:
• Dismantle the chimney connector and clean it thoroughly. Replace any pieces that show signs of rust or deterioration.
• Inspect and, if necessary, clean your chimney.
• Clean out the inside of the stove thoroughly.
• Check and clean the catalytic combustor, if necessary
• Inspect all door gasket material and replace if worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If you have a stovepipe or chimney fire, follow these instructions:

1. If the fire is too threatening, leave the area and call the fire department immediately! If not, perform the next three steps.
2. Close the primary air control.
3. Close the stovepipe damper (if present).
4. Close the bypass damper
5. Keep the stove front door closed!

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT OUT A STOVEPIPE OR CHIMNEY FIRE BY THROWING WATER ONTO THE STOVE, STOVEPIPE, OR CHIMNEY. THE EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURE OF SUCH FIRES CAN CAUSE INSTANTANEOUS STEAM AND SERIOUS BODILY HARM.

Once the chimney fire expires, leave the primary air control and bypass handle closed and let the fire in the stove die out completely. Inspect the stove, stovepipe, and chimney thoroughly for any sign of damage before firing the stove again. You must correct any damage before using your stove again. Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and firing technique.

Check daily for creosote build-up
until experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the less creosote is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild weather even though monthly
cleaning may be enough in the coldest months. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire authority for information on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire.

INSTALLING YOUR STOVE
Choose a place to install your Mansfield woodstove. Consider the location of your stove for optimum heating efficiency. In general, it is better to place your stove in a main living area, rather than in a basement or other confined space. Inspect this location to make sure that the stove and stovepipes will have the required clearance from combustible materials that are near the stove. Combustibles include walls, floor, ceiling, and chimney chase. You must carefully consider the clearances to all of these combustibles before actually connecting your stove. If the floor is made of combustible material, then a non-combustible floor protector is required between the floor and the stove. An example of a noncombustible floor protector is a hearth constructed with a continuous layer of tile, brick, slate, glass or another non-combustible facing. There is no R-value requirement.

If you use a rear connector pipe, ensure it is listed with Underwriter’s Laboratories. Check the listing of your pipe with UL for the correct clearances. The diagrams in this manual represent typical installations but are specific to the Simpson Dura-Vent DVL brand. The Mansfield is to be installed as a freestanding room heater with the clearances in the included installation instructions. The Stove is not to be installed in any factory- built fireplace. Clearances to NFPA Code 211 Protected Surfaces You can reduce the clearances to combustible surfaces by using any National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) approved wall protection system with additional approval of the regulatory authority having jurisdiction in your area. Please refer to NFPA Code 211 for specifications and complete details. You can obtain this information directly from the NFPA. National Fire Protection Agency

HEARTH REQUIREMENTS & FLOOR PROTECTION
Ensure you protect combustible flooring with a covering of noncombustible material. The Mansfield does not require an insulated hearth pad. The minimum floor protection must be met under the stove and extend beyond the stove as follows: The minimum floor protection for US installations is 40in x 34in. The minimum floor protection for installations in Canada is 49 1/2in x 41in. Installing the stove in a room with Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) or Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring requires extra consideration from the stove to the LVP or LVT flooring. Some LVP and LVT flooring begins to warp at 110° Fahrenheit. Each installation and flooring specification is different. Consult the flooring manufacturer for maximum temperature recommendations. Additional shielding to prevent warping may be necessary depending on the flooring used.

COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE REQUIRED CLEARANCES
Note: Dimensions shown in the following figures are from the edge of the cast iron of the stove unless otherwise indicated. It is very important to follow minimum clearances for chimney connectors to combustibles such as walls and ceilings when installing the stove near combustible surfaces you use a rear heat shield to obtain reduced clearances, you must use the optional rear heat shield manufactured by Hearthstone available through your local dealer. Close clearance connector pipe must be tested to UL standards and listed.

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR SYSTEMS AND CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE WALLS FOR RESIDENTIAL HEATING APPLIANCES

• Minimum 3.5in thick brick masonry all framed into the combustible wall with a minimum of 12in. brick separation from clay liner to combustibles. The fire clay liner shall run from outer surface of
  brick wall to, but not beyond, the inner surface of chimney flue liner and shall be firmly cemented in place.

• Solid-insulated, listed factory-built chimney length of the same inside diameter as the chimney connector and having 1in. or more of insulation with a minimum 9in. air space between the outer wall of the chimney length and combustibles.

• Sheet steel chimney connector, minimum 24 gauge in thickness, with a ventilated thimble, minimum 24 gauge in thickness, having two 1in. air channels, separated from combustibles by a minimum of 6in of glass fiber insulation. Opening shall be covered, and thimble supported with a sheet steel support, minimum 24 gauge in thickness.

• Solid insulated, listed factory-built chimney length with an inside diameter 2in. larger than the chimney connector and having 1in. or more of insulation, serving as a pass-through for a single wall sheet steel chimney connector of minimum 24 gauge thickness, with a minimum 2in.

• air space between the outer wall of chimney section and combustibles. Minimum length of chimney section shall be 12in. chimney section spaced 1in. away from a connector using sheet steel support plates on both ends of chimney section. Opening shall be covered, and the chimney section supported on both sides with sheet steel supports securely fastened to wall surfaces of a minimum 24-gauge thickness. Fasteners used to secure chimney section shall not penetrate the chimney flue liner.

OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY
(Optional Kit #90-53220)
You can connect an outside air source directly to this stove using an optional outside air kit. The advantage of providing outside air directly to the stove is that the air used by the stove for combustion is taken from outside the residence rather than from within the room where the stove is located.

The outside air kit for this stove allows for the direct connection of the stove’s air intake to a minimum 3″ (76 mm) diameter duct (not supplied by stove manufacturer)* which leads to the outside of the house. When considering placement of the duct from the outside of the house to the hearth, keep in mind the need to avoid structural members of the house. The outside air kit attaches to the underside of the stove. Refer to the instructions provided with the kit for installation.

An adaptor for 4” duct is available if needed. KIT #90- 53308 When using an outside air kit in Canada, the stove must be attached to your home’s floor. Use the shipping clips that came with the stove and fasteners long enough to attach securely to the subfloor. (The clips and fastener heads may be painted to minimize visibility). The International Residential Code (IRC) does not allow the outside air duct to terminate higher than the appliance. Some building officials restrict vertical rise in the duct’s termination. Hearthstone recommends the termination be at the same level, or lower than the air intake on the stove. When using an outside air kit in Canada, a damper allowing 100% closure shall be installed.

Locate the termination of the duct on the outside wall of the home in such a manner to avoid the possibility of obstruction by snow, leaves or other material. Screen the termination using ¼” x ¼” mesh rodent
screen and cover it with a rain/wind proof hood (flex pipe, outside termination, mesh, and hood not supplied by stove manufacturer) Contact your dealer for availability.

VENTING COMPONENTS & CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE USED BY ANOTHER APPLIANCE
Single wall connector that is at least 24 MSG or 25 MSG blued steel stovepipe. Double wall connector which is used with a listed, factory-built “Type HT” chimney or with a masonry chimney to reduce clearances is available from several manufacturers, your dealer can help you choose. Some air insulated connector pipe models recommended are Simpson Dura-Vent DVL and Metalbestos DS. Security, GSW and Ameritec also manufacture acceptable Rear connector pipe.

When used in a mobile home, a spark arrester is required. (See page 18)  The chimney connector cannot pass through a floor or ceiling, nor any attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space. Where venting requires passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction, the installation must conform to NFPA Code 211 or CAN/CSA – B365. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to maintain an effective vapor barrier at the the location where the chimney of another component penetrates the exterior of the structure It is very important to follow minimum clearances for chimney connectors to combustibles such as walls and ceilings when installing the stove. Typical chimney connector clearances are outlined below. The single wall clearances are generic; the double wall clearances shown are specifically for Simpson DuraVent DVL and may vary with other brands. Check the specifications from the manufacturer of your connector.

COMPONENTS OF A VENTING SYSTEM

The complete venting system consists of several components: a chimney connector, wall thimble, wall pass-through, chimney, and liner. It is absolutely necessary that you install all of these components and maintain the clearances to combustibles discussed earlier to ensure a safe stove installation. To protect against the possibility of a house fire, you must properly install and constantly maintain the venting system in good condition. Be sure to inspect the chimney and chimney connector and keep it clean. Upon inspection, immediately replace the rusted, cracked, or broken components. Failure to follow these instructions and specified components or using make- shift compromises can result in fire, property damage, bodily injury, and even death.

The chimney connector is the stovepipe from the woodstove to the chimney. The chimney connector stovepipe is 6″ (152 mm) diameter, 24 MSG or 25 MSG blued steel connector pipe. Do not use aluminum or galvanized steel pipe – they cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire. The thimble is a manufactured (or site-constructed) device installed in combustible walls through which the chimney connector passes to the chimney. It keeps the walls from igniting. You must use a wall thimble when installing a chimney connector through a combustible wall to the chimney.

A wall pass-through (or chimney support package) also keeps the walls from igniting. You must use one when connecting through a wall or ceiling to a prefabricated chimney. Only install this stove to a lined masonry chimney or an approved high-temperature prefabricated residential-type building heating appliance chimney. Do not connect this stove to a chimney serving another appliance; you will compromise the safe operation of both the wood stove and the connected appliance.

A liner is the UL 1777 or ULC S635 (for factory-built fireplace or masonry) chimney. You must connect your stove to a chimney comparable to those recommended in this manual. Do not use stove pipe as a chimney. Use stovepipe for freestanding installations only to connect the stove to a proper chimney.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM. INSTALLING A VENTING SYSTEM
Attach stovepipe sections to the flue collar and to each other with the crimped end toward the stove. If creosote builds up, this allows the creosote to run into the stove and not on the outside of the stovepipe or onto the stove. Secure all joints, including attaching the stovepipe to the stove’s flue collar, with three sheet metal screws. Install #10 x 1/2″ (3 mm x 13 mm) sheet metal screws into the holes pre-drilled in the flue collar. Disregarding the screws can cause joints to separate from the vibrations that result from a creosote chimney fire.

You can simplify connecting the stovepipe by using additional accessories such as telescoping pipes, slip-connectors or clean-out tees. These accessories ease the periodic inspection of your chimney, as well as allow you to dismantle the stovepipe easily (without moving the stove). Install the stove as close as practical to the chimney, while maintaining all proper clearances. Install a stovepipe that is as short and as straight as possible. Horizontal runs of stove pipe must always rise away from the stove at a minimum of 1/4″ per foot (21mm/m).

We do not recommend long runs of stovepipe to increase heat dispersal. Longer lengths of stovepipe, or more connecting elbows, than necessary increase the chances of draft resistance and the accumulation of creosote buildup. In general, you do not need to install a stovepipe damper with the Mansfield. Some installations, however, could benefit from a stovepipe damper, such as a tall chimney which can create a higher-than-normal draft. In such cases, a damper can help regulate the draft. The Mansfield requires a draft between -0.06″ and -0.1″ WC. For drafts above -0.1″ WC, install a stovepipe damper. To vent the Mansfield directly out the back flue exit, a minimum draft, -0.06” WC is required. Check the draft at stove installation time.

Remember, the NFPA recommends minimum clearances for chimney connectors to combustibles such as walls and ceilings. Once the stove is installed at safe distances from these combustible surfaces, it is also important to maintain this connector clearance for the remainder of the installation.

REAR EXIT INSTALLATION

The Mansfield may be installed with a direct rear flue. In the rear exit configuration, a draft of -0.06” WC or more is necessary to ensure the proper function of the stove. Do not install the stove in the rear exit configuration if you do not have sufficient draft. The minimum chimney height is 15’ for rear exit configurations. The Mansfield is shipped in the vertical flu configuration. To install the stove in the rear flue configuration, switch the positions of the flue collar and the flue plate by following these steps:

1. Using a 5/32” hex key, remove the flue collar from the top of the stove by removing the two screws visible within the flue collar.
2. Remove the rear heat shield, if equipped. Loosen the four screws and lift the heat shield to remove it.
3. Using a 5/32” hex key, remove the flue plate from the back of the stove by removing the two visible screws. the flue plate on the top of the stove using 2 screws each. Be sure to keep the ¼” gasket in the channel on both the flue collar and the flue plate to ensure a sealed firebox.
4. Using metal snips, remove the section of the rear heat shield to allow the pipe to pass through it.
5.  Re-install the rear heat shield. Figure 7 – Rear Exit

CONNECTING THE STOVE TO A CHIMNEY
You can install your Mansfield to a prefabricated metal chimney, or to a masonry chimney. This room heater must be connected to (1) a listed Type HT (2100° F) chimney per UL 103 or ULC S629, or (2) a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner. The chimney size should not be less than the flue collar, or more than three times greater than the cross-sectional area of the flue collar. We recommend installing a cleanout tee where possible to simplify chimney cleaning and maintenance. Connecting to a Prefabricated Metal Chimney There are two ways to install a prefabricated metal chimney: An interior installation where the chimney passes inside the residence through the ceiling and roof. An exterior installation where the chimney passes through the wall behind the stove then up the outside of the residence.

Whenever possible, choose an interior chimney. An interior chimney heats up quickly and retains its heat; thus promoting a better draft and discouraging the formation of creosote. An exterior chimney does not benefit from the warmth of the building, so it typically operates at lower flue temperatures than an interior chimney and may experience increased creosote accumulation. When connecting the Mansfield to a prefabricated metal chimney, you must follow, precisely, the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Use only Type HT (2100° F), prefabricated metal chimneys listed per UL 103 or ULC S629 standards.

Ensure the size of the prefabricated chimney’s flue is appropriate for the Mansfield. The Mansfield requires a 6″ (152 mm) inside diameter flue for new installations. A 6” diameter flue provides adequate draft and performance. You can use an 8″ (203 mm) diameter existing flue with a reducer. An oversized flue contributes to creosote accumulation. (In this case, bigger is NOT better.) When purchasing a prefabricated chimney to install with your stove, Ensure you also purchase from the same manufacturer the wall pass-through (or ceiling support package), “T” section package, fire-stops (when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, and any other required accessories. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing the chimney and accessories. In addition, ensure you maintain all manufacturers’ recommendations for the proper clearances to the chimney.

Connection to a Masonry Chimney
Consider two primary elements when connecting your stove to a masonry chimney: the chimney itself and the thimble where the stovepipe connects to the chimney. Use only code-approved masonry chimneys containing a proper flue liner Before connecting to a masonry chimney, hire a professional to examine the chimney for cracks, loose mortar, and other signs of deterioration and blockage. If the chimney needs repair, complete them before installing and using your stove. Do not install your stove until the chimney is safe for use.

Ensure the chimney’s cleanout is complete and working properly. To avoid a loss of draft, the cleanout door must close completely and provide a tight seal. If the cleanout door leaks, the chimney will cool, your stove will perform poorly, and creosote can form. Ensure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate for this stove and that it is not too large. Use a masonry chimney with a maximum 6” Diameter or 8″ x 8″ (203 mm x 203 mm) tile size for best results. An oversized flue contributes to the accumulation of creosote. Use the following checklist to ensure that your masonry chimney meets these minimum requirements: Masonry Chimney wall construction: Mortared brick or modular block at least 4″ (102 mm) thick – must use liner A mortared rubble or stone wall – must use liner

FLUE LINER OPTIONS
Tile – minimum wall thickness of 5/8″ (16 mm), installed with refractory mortar, and with at least 1″ (25 mm) air space around the liner Stainless steel – UL listed 6” diameter, insulated or wrapped liner, or the space around the liner filled with vermiculite or suitable material (these keep the liner warmer for better performance) Ensure any equivalent flue liner is a listed chimney liner system meeting type HT requirements or other approved material.

INTERIOR CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
Must have at least 2″ (51 mm) clearance to combustible materials Must install fire stops at the spaces where the chimney passes through floors and/or ceiling Any insulation material must be at least 2″ (51 mm) from the chimney

EXTERIOR CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
At least 1″ (25 mm) clearance to combustible materials

CHIMNEY HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS (SEE FIGURE 9)
At least 3 feet (0.9 m) higher than the highest part of the roof opening through which it passes. At least 2 feet (0.6 m) higher than any part of the roof within 10 feet (3 m) measured horizontally from the top of the chimney. The recommended minimum chimney height for top of stove installation is 16 feet (4.9 m) off the floor or 13 feet 5 3/4 inches (4.3 m) from the top of the stove. For rear exit connection, the recommended minimum chimney height is 19 feet (5.8m) off the floor or 16 feet 5 3/4 inches (5.2m) from the top of the stove. The recommended maximum chimney height is 30 feet (9m). The Mansfield requires a draft between -0.06” and -0.1” water column. Ensure your chimney is long enough to provide the minimum draft and use a damper if your installation has a required chimney height that provides too much draft.

INSTALLING IN A MOBILE HOME
Follow these special requirements for installing your stove in a mobile home. Install the stove in the USA in accordance with 24 CFR, Part 3280 (HUD)  Not approved for mobile home installation in Canada. An outside air kit must be used in all mobile home installations. See page 12 for details. Permanently attach the stove to your mobile home’s floor. Use the shipping clips that came with the stove and fasteners long enough to attach securely to the subfloor. (The clips and
fastener heads may be painted to minimize visibility).

Figure 10 – Lock Down Detail
Install a Mobile Home Chimney & Connector Kit. Each kit must include a stainless spark arrester cap, storm collar, Adjustable vented flashing – 0/12 – 6/12, Two 24” chimney pipes, 24” support box with built-in starter section and trim. Install a Mobile Home Chimney and Connector Kit conforming to US/UL103, Standard for Factory-Built Chimneys.

WARNING
DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM IN A MOBILE HOME.
CAUTION: MAINTAIN THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME WALLS, FLOOR, CEILING, AND ROOF WHEN INSTALLING AND USING YOUR STOVE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND SPECIFIED COMPONENTS OR USING MAKE-SHIFT COMPROMISES CAN RESULT IN FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, AND EVEN DEATH.

Burning any fuel other than wood in this unit could generate dangerous levels of carbon monoxide within the living space. THE FRONT DOOR MUST REMAIN CLOSED WHEN IN OPERATION EXCEPT FOR START UP AND LOADING. Leaving the door open during use could cause any smoke or fire detectors in the home to be set off or a fire could escape the firebox and start the room on fire. If this unit is installed in a mobile home, care must be taken to ensure adequate air is available. If not enough air is available it could starve the room of all the oxygen.

The chimney should be attached directly to the stove and must extend at least 3 feet (.9 m) above the part of the roof through which it passes. The top of the chimney is to be at least 2 feet (.6 m) above the highest elevation of any part of the
mobile home within 10 feet (3 m) of the chimney. All roof-chimney terminations should be able to be readily removed / re-installed at or below an elevation of 13-1/2 feet (4.1 m) above ground level without the use of special tools or instructions. The chimney assembly shall be provided with a mechanical securement means to secure the chimney to the ceiling support box. When a chimney exits the mobile home at a location other than through the roof, and exits at a point 7 feet (2.1 m) or less above the ground level on which the mobile home is positioned, a guard or method of enclosing the chimney shall be provided at the point of exit for a height up to 7 feet. The chimney guard shall not allow the passage of a ¾ inch (19.1 mm) diameter rod, and a ½” (12.7 mm) diameter rod shall not be able to touch the chimney when inserted through any part of the guard a distance of 4 inches (102 mm).

The chimney shall be provided with a spark arrester secured to the chimney. The net free area of the arrester above the chimney outlet shall not be less than 4 times the net area of the chimney outlet, and the vertical height of the arrester above the chimney outlet shall not be less than ½ the diameter of the chimney flue. Openings shall not permit the passage of a sphere having a diameter of ½ inch (12.7 mm), and shall allow the passage of a sphere of 3/8” (9.6 mm).
CAUTION: REMOVE THE CHIMNEY WHEN TRANSPORTING THE MOBILE HOME!  Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to maintain an effective vapor barrier at the location where the chimney of other component penetrates the exterior of the structure.

OPERATION

Once your Mansfield is installed, you are ready to light a fire. Every installation, season’s firewood, and operator’s technique varies. Learn how to use your stove most efficiently for your installation. We can give you the basic principles, but only you can ensure maximizing the potential of your stove while also operating it safely.

WARNING: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! KEEP CHILDREN, PETS, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.Read this entire chapter before lighting your first fire. It explains the controls and features of your wood stove, how to choose firewood, and how to use your stove on a daily basis.

CONTROLS AND FEATURES

Before lighting any fires, become familiar with the location and operation of your stove’s controls and features and learn how to use them (See Figure 13). For your own safety, do not modify these features in any way. We recommend you use fireplace gloves when the stove is in operation and hot. Figure 12 – Controls & Features

FRONT DOOR HANDLE : The firebox door allows you to load wood into your stove; a wood handle operates the door. To open the door, pull up on the handle and swing the door away from the stove. To latch the door, push the door tightly towards the firebox then continue to push the handle in and down until it latches shut. Gently pull on the door handle to make sure it is properly latched.

PRIMARY AIR CONTROL : The primary air control lever is located under the ash lip. The primary air control allows you to regulate the amount of air entering the firebox. Generally, the more air allowed into the firebox, the faster the rate of burn and the higher the heat output; conversely, less air creates a slower burn, with lower heat output. For maximum airflow, pull the lever out as far as possible; move the lever inwards as far as possible for minimum airflow (does not close completely).

OPTIONAL ASH PAN : 90-54240 See the installation instructions included with the ash pan kit if installation is necessary. The ash pan collects burned ash from a fire and allows you to conveniently remove the ash from your wood stove. The ash pan and ash pan access door is located under the ash lip. To operate the ash grate, open the ash pan door, and simply pull the handle out to open the ash grate and push the handle in to close the ash grate. When the ash door is closed, it will automatically close the ash grate. The firebox should be cleared of ashes periodically by sliding the ash grate towards the front door, sifting the ashes across the grate into the ash pan, then returning the grate to its closed position.

The ash pan is easy to remove and has a handle for convenient disposal of ashes. Before removing the ash pan, push it (hard!) into the stove, which kicks the ashes further into the pan. To close the ash door, push the door closed and turn the handle from vertical down to its previous position. Note: The ash grate can only be opened when the ash door is ajar or open. Do not operate the stove unless the ASH PAN is inserted into the stove and the ash door is closed. This could overheat and damage the stove.

CUSTOMIZING YOUR STOVE’S DOORS
Both the Front and optional Ashpan Doors can be reversed for loading and cleaning convenience (from hinged at the left to hinged at the right, for example). Detailed instructions for reversing the Front Door are found with the installation instructions included with the optional Front Door Reversal Kit (90-73229). The kit includes a striker plate for latching the door on either the right or left side. Detailed instructions for reversing the Ashpan Door are found with the installation instructions included with the optional Ashpan Kit (90-54240).

For Canadian Installations
Your Mansfield is supplied with a removable bypass handle adapter and 2-3/4” screw for use in Canadian installations. This adapter must be used for Canadian installations. Install the supplied adapter to the wooden bypass handle with the supplied screw. Store the handle in the holder located on the bottom heat shield when not in use.

CATALYST THERMOMETER : The catalyst
the thermometer monitors the downstream temperature of the catalysts, and indicates when the stove is in the active range for the catalysts. When the stove is in the “Catalyst Active” range, the bypass handle should be moved to the ENGAGE setting. When the stove is in the “Inactive” range, the bypass handle should be moved to BYPASS until the stove heats up.If the thermometer is in the “Too Hot” range, keep the front door closed, fully close the air control, move the bypass handle to the BYPASS position, and allow the stove to cool down until the thermometer falls into the “Catalyst Active” Range. Once the catalyst thermometer has reached the active range, heat generated from burning smoke keeps the catalysts warm and active as long as fuel remains in the stove. The Mansfield typically operates in the 450 ⁰F to 1200 ⁰F flue gas range.

CHOOSING FIREWOOD
Burn only natural firewood (known as cordwood) in the Mansfield Model 8013 Wood Heater. This stove is not designed to burn other fuels.

CAUTION : DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. DO NOT USE CHARCOAL, PELLETS, COAL, ARTIFICIAL LOGS, OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS AS FUEL; THEY ARE NOT SAFE. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS. THE USE OF UNAUTHORIZED FUEL SUCH AS COAL COULD PRODUCE HIGH LEVELS OF LEVELS CARBON DIOXIDE COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. The quality of your firewood directly affects heat output, duration of burn, and performance of your stove. Softwoods generally burn hotter and faster, while hardwoods burn longer and produce better coals. Density and moisture content are two critical factors to consider when purchasing wood. The following is a list of some wood species and their relative BTU (British Thermal Unit) content. The higher the BTU content, the longer the burn. Firewood with higher BTUs is generally ideal for a wood stove. Burn untreated wood only. Other materials such as wood preservatives, metal foils, coal, plastic, garbage, Sulphur, or oil may damage the catalysts.

Moisture content also plays a key role in the performance of your stove. Wood freshly cut from a living tree (green wood) contains a great deal of moisture. As you might expect, green wood burns poorly. You must season green wood before using it in your wood stove. To season green wood properly split, stack, and allow it to air dry for a period of one year. Greenwood may provide less than 2000 Btu per pound, whereas dry wood can provide up to 7000 Btu per pound. Stack the firewood on skids or blocks to keep it off the ground, and cover only the top of the stack. Plastic or tarps that cover the sides of the woodpile trap moisture and prevent the wood from drying. As for stacking, an old Vermonter said, “The spaces between the logs should be large enough for a mouse to get through, but not for the cat that’s chasing it.”

CAUTION: DO NOT STORE FIREWOOD WITHIN THE STOVE’S SPECIFIED CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. BUILDING A FIRE Once you understand the controls of your wood stove and have the appropriate firewood, you are ready to start a fire.

WARNING: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINETYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR ‘FRESHEN UP’ A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.

BREAKING IN YOUR WOOD STOVE

****It is imperative that your stove is “broken in” gradually. Soapstone must be “seasoned”; over-firing a new stove may cause soapstone to crack or may damage other stove parts.

Natural moisture in the freshly quarried soapstone must be driven out slowly to minimize the “shock” to the stone of its first exposure to high firebox temperatures. In addition, the asbestos-free furnace cement must be cured slowly to ensure adequate sealing and bonding. When you light your first fires, the woodstove will emit some smoke and fumes. This is normal “off- gassing” of the paints and oils used when manufacturing the woodstove. If you find it necessary, open a few windows to vent your room. The smoke and fumes will usually subside after 10 to 20 minutes of operation. The odor and smoke will end once the stove is “cured”. The first few fires of the season may produce other odors from impurities that exist in the area immediately surrounding the stove. Some potential impurities are cleaning solvents, paint solvents, cigarette smoke, and soot from scented candles, pet hair, dust, adhesives, a new carpet, and new textiles.

These odors will dissipate over time. You can alleviate these odors by opening a few windows or otherwise creating additional ventilation around your stove. If any odor persists, contact your dealer or an authorized service technician. If you adhere to the operating procedures in this manual, the steel, cast iron, and soapstone components of your stove will give you many years of trouble free use. With use, the color of the soapstone may change and small fractures may appear on the surface. These changes do not affect the function of the stove. If a panel breaks completely, it must be replaced

Avoid the following conditions that can cause the glass, soapstone, steel or cast iron pieces to break: Do not throw wood into the stove. Do not use the door as a lever to force wood into the stove. Do not load wood encrusted with ice into a burning stove – the thermal shock can cause
damage. Do not use a manufactured log grate or otherwise support the fuel. Burn the fire directly on the floor of the firebox.

PROTECT YOUR HEARTH
While your stove radiates heat slowly and evenly when in use, it also absorbs moisture condensations when not in use. Specifically, true with a brand-new stove, but also for stoves during the off season, your stove and chimney flue has moisture in it. During the early stages of use and during certain heating conditions, this condensation can turn to a liquid. This dark liquid can find a way through the bottom of your stove and onto your hearth. We recommend placing some pieces of aluminum foil or other non-combustible material in the area around each of the
legs of the stove temporarily to catch this liquid until the moisture has been removed from the heating system. As the system becomes seasoned these can be removed for normal use.

NOTE ABOUT MAJOLICA ENAMELS
The porcelain Majolica enamels Hearthstone uses are a natural glass-based product. The Majolica process consists of a neutral opaque color base, usually an off-white, with a translucent color applied over it. It is essentially molten-glass applied as a powder and each coat is fused to the iron in our ovens at nearly 2000 F. The darkness of the color is dependent upon the thickness of the translucent color over the base color, the thickness of the part and the oven temperatures. Details in the iron allow for the molten glass to pool darkly in low places and be thinner on edges of detail. Color variations are what makes it so beautiful. Please expect variations in color as this is a normal part of the process. Crazing (minuscule lines in the glaze) is common with repeated heating and cooling. or extreme use. Crazing has no significant effects on the ceramics, it is cosmetic and in the top coat only. Majolica finishes are applied by artists; having been used on ceramic pottery for hundreds of years. Antique Majolica plates, saucers, cups and teapots are normally crazed to varying degrees and have color variations piece to piece. Enjoy a lifetime of beauty with this classic finish we are proud to offer.

BUILDING A BREAK IN FIRE

1.  Move the bypass handle to the BYPASS position. Open the front door and place five or six double sheets of tightly twisted newspaper in the center of the firebox.
2. Arrange kindling in a crisscross pattern over the newspaper. Kindling should be approximately ten pieces, 1/2″ (13 mm) in diameter and 10″ to 16″ (254 mm to 457 mm) long.
3. Fully open the primary air control by pulling the control handle towards you, away from the firebox.
4. Light the paper under the kindling. Leave thedoor slightly ajar momentarily until the kindling has started to burn and draft begins to pull.
5. Close the door and allow the fire to burn. Keep the door closed while the stove is in use. KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE ON YOUR STOVE to maintain a steady, low-heat fire. Your first fire should make the stove warm but not hot to the touch. Visible steam, or boiling moisture and hissing indicate the soapstone is too hot. At most,a few small chunks of wood should be added to the fire to reach safe break-in temperatures.
6. Once  the stove is warm but not hot to the touch, close the primary air control by pushing it fully inward toward the stove to allow the fire to die out completely.
7. Let the stove return to room temperature. Your first fire and first fire each season thereafter should be built and maintained as outlined above. Your patience will be rewarded by a properly seasoned stove.
   NOTE: The cool flue gas temperatures present during the break-in procedure may cause rapid creosote build-up. The door glass may also get dirty. A good hot fire will clean it. We recommend a visual inspection (and cleaning if necessary) of your stovepipe and chimney once the break-in procedure is completed.

REPLACING THE REFRACTORY STONE AND SECONDARY RISER ASSEMBLY

1. Allow the stove and ashes to fully cool.
2. Open the front door of the stove and fully clean any ash in the firebox.
3. Remove the baffle following the instructions in “Inspecting the Catalysts and emoving/Replacing the baffle.
4. Remove bottom refractory stones from stove.
5. With the baffle removed, unscrew 1x ¼”-20 screw holding the secondary riser assembly in place. Once unscrewed, assembly can be lifted up and out of the stove.
6.  Installation is the reverse of disassembly. Make sure that the secondary riser tube is seated in the pocket at the rear of the bottom casting

GLASS REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE GLASS PANEL REMOVED, CRACKED, OR BROKEN. DO NOT SUBJECT THE DOOR TO ABUSE, SUCH AS STRIKING OR SLAMMING SHUT. ONLY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON SHOULD REPLACE THE GLASS PANEL.

CREOSOTE FORMATION & REMOVAL
When wood burns slowly at low temperatures, it may produce tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. These creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire, which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house. When burning wood, inspect the chimney connector and chimney at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if there is a creosote buildup. If a creosote build-up occurs, inspect the stovepipe connector and chimney more often, at least monthly during the heating season to monitor the accumulation. If a creosote residue greater that 1/4″ (6 mm) accumulates, remove it to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Prevention

• Burn the stove with the primary air control fully open for 35 – 45 minutes daily to burn out creosote deposits from within the stove and the venting system.
• After reloading with wood, burn the stove with the primary air control fully open for 15 to 20 minutes.
• This manner of operation ensures early engagement of the secondary combustion system that minimizes creosote buildup in the chimney.
• If your glass always remains dirty, your operating temperatures are too low or your wood is wet; therefore, there is a higher risk of creosote buildup.
• Inspect the venting system at the stove connection and at the chimney top.
• Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote deposits faster, so it is important to check the chimney at the top (where it is coolest) as well as from the bottom near the stove.

Cleaning
Remove accumulated creosote with a cleaning brush specifically designed for the type of chimney in use. We recommend you use a certified chimney sweep to perform this service. Contact your dealer for the name of a certified chimney sweep in your area (your dealer may be a certified sweep!).
We recommend that before each heating season you have the entire system professionally inspected, cleaned and repaired, if necessary.

GASKETS
Replace door gasket material every two to three seasons, or whenever it becomes deteriorated or loose, depending on stove use. If the door seal leaks, a new gasket will ensure a tight seal and improve stove performance. We recommend you only use Hearthstone replacement gaskets when you need to replace your door gasket. Contact your dealer for a gasket kit that includes instructions, and the gasket for your stove.

GLASS
The glass used in our stoves is actually not plain glass, but a tough, clear ceramic material capable of operating at temperatures up to 2300° F. Do not operate the stove with a broken door glass. Do not abuse the front door by striking or slamming. When necessary, clean the glass. DO NOT CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE THE STOVE IS HOT! For the inside surface of the glass, we recommend using a damp paper towel dipped in gray ash. Rub the inside of the glass with a circular motion. When all the deposits are removed, clean up with window cleaner or with commercial stove glass cleaners, which are available from your local dealer. Use this type of cleaner for the outside surface as well. Never attempt to clean the glass while the fire is burning or while the glass is hot. Remove deposits by following the instructions provided with the cleaner. Wipe the cleaner off with a soft cloth, or black & white newsprint.

Important
 scratching or etching the glass will weaken the integrity of the glass. Do not use a razor blade, steel wool, or any other abrasive material to clean the glass. Use a cleaner specifically manufactured for woodstoves only. The front door glass is a ceramic, thermal shockresistant glass, made specifically for use in woodstoves. Do not use any replacement glass other than the ceramic glass manufactured and supplied for use in this woodstove. Replacement glass is available through your local dealer. Replace the door glass immediately if broken or chipped. Contact your local dealer for replacement glass. The glass kit includes instructions and everything needed for the repair. If you replace the glass yourself, wear work gloves and safety glasses. Required Glass Kit: PN: 90-58215

TROUBLESHOOTING COMMON ISSUES

Blocked Chimney| Examine the chimney and stovepipe for blockage or creosote accumulations.
Oversized Chimney| Reline the chimney to the appropriate diameter
Undersized Chimney| Install a draft inducer or replace the chimney.
Chimney Too Short| Lengthen the chimney.
Air Infiltration Into The Chimney| Seal chimney connections and openings. Check clean-out doors.
Bypass not closed| Ensure that the bypass door is closed when the catalysts are in the active range.
Catalysts not functioning| Inspect catalysts for damage, ash build-up, or plugging. Brush catalysts with a soft-bristled brush, or vacuum lightly. Replace if

required. Follow instructions to ensure catalyst light-off.

Not burning proper fuel| Ensure cordwood is seasoned and dry.
More Than One

Appliance Connected to the Flue

| Disconnect all other appliances and seal openings.
BACK-PUFFING OR GAS EXPLOSIONS| Operating Technique| Fully open the primary air control one minute before opening the door and keep it fully open for a few minutes after reloading.

Ensure the bypass door is open before opening the door

Extra Low Burn Rate| Burn the stove at a higher burn rate.
Chimney Down-draft| Install a chimney cap.
Excessive Ash Build-up| Empty the ash pan more frequently. Increase efficiency of burns, and avoid using poor quality or green wood.
UNCONTROLL- ED OR SHORT BURN| Unsealed or Open Door| Close the door tightly or replace the gaskets.

Air leakage around glass gasket – replace gasket

Excessive Draft| Check the installation. Operate at LOW BURN. Install stovepipe

damper. Draft in excess of 0.1 wc should be corrected with a stovepipe damper(s)

Extra Long Chimney| Shorten the chimney. Install stovepipe damper(s).
Oversized Chimney| Reline the chimney to the proper diameter.
High Winds or Hilltop Location:| Install a chimney cap.
INSUFFICIENT HEAT| Poor Quality, low Btu content, or Green Wood| Use only air- dried wood, preferably dried at least one year. Use a wood with a high Btu content if available.
Low Burn Rate| Operate the stove at a higher burn rate.
Cold Exterior Chimney| Reline or insulate the chimney.
Leaky Stovepipe or Chimney| Check the installation. Replace with a pre- fabricated insulated chimney system or a properly sized masonry chimney.
Too Much Heat Loss From House| Add insulation, use energy efficient windows, or caulk windows, and seal openings in home.
Excessive Ash Build-up| Empty the ash pan more frequently. Increase efficiency of burns, and avoid using poor quality or green wood.
BLISTERING OF FINISH| Operating Technique| Do not over-fire the stove. Monitor stove temperatures. Use seasoned wood only.
Excessive Draft| Check the DRAFT. A damper may be required. Operate the stove at a LOW BURN range.

Virtually all woodstove operators experience basic common problems at one time or another. Most are correctable and generally require only a minor adjustment of the stove, installation, or operating technique. In cases where weather conditions dramatically affect stove performance, the problems are typically temporary and solve themselves once the weather changes. If you question whether your stove is producing adequate heat, the best way to troubleshoot the problem is to monitor the temperature of the stack no more than 12 inches (30 cm) above the flue collar. A
400° F (200° C) stovepipe confirms the stove is supplying sufficient heat. Keep in mind that your house itself will regulate room/house temperatures.

How well the walls, floors and ceilings are insulated, the number and size of windows, the tightness of outside doors, and the construction or style of your house (vaulted ceilings or other open spaces which collect large percentages of heat, ceiling fans, etc.) all are determining factors of room temperature. Your stove’s performance is also dependent on its installation. One common cause of poor performance is an oversized chimney flue. Oversized chimney flues result in decreased draft, which prevents the smoke from rising out the chimney. Oversized flues are also more difficult to heat effectively, especially when burning a high efficiency stove. Cool flue temperatures inhibit the establishment of a strong draft (and encourage the accumulation of creosote). The lack of a strong draft will cause the fire to die down and may even force smoke to pour into the room.

If your chimney is the proper size and a strong draftis not easily established, there is the possibility that the chimney is too cold. Again, hot chimneys promo te stronger drafts. Opening a window briefly in the room while lighting the stove may help. Other draft guidelines are as follows:
An “AIRTIGHT” HOUSE: The air supply (infiltration) to the interior of the house may be inadequate if your home is super-insulated or especially well sealed.

This phenomenon of air starvation within the building is exacerbated if exhaust fans, such as clothes dryers, bathroom fans or cook stove exhaust fans, are in operation within the home. Outfitting your stove with the optional outside air adaptor connected to an air duct, which leads to the outside of the building, can correct this problem. Tall Trees or Buildings: These obstructions, when located close to the top of the chimney can cause chronic or occasional downdrafts. When selecting a site for a new chimney, consider the placement of other objects near the proposed chimney location. Wind Velocity: Generally, the stronger and steadier a wind, the stronger (better) the draft. However, “gusty” wind conditions can cause erratic downdrafts. For consistent problems, consider a high wind cap, such as the Vacu-Stack.

Barometric Pressure: Chimney drafts are typically sluggish on balmy, wet or muggy days (low barometric pressure). This is a weather-related phenomenon, which generally is self-correcting as the weather changes. Briskness of Fire: The hotter the fire in your stove, the hotter your chimney and, therefore, the stronger the draft. Breaks in the Venting System: An unsealed cleanout door at the bottom of the chimney, leaky stovepipe joints, a poor stovepipe-to-thimble connection, missing caps, or a leaky chimney all can cause inadequate draft. Seasonal Factors: Early fall and late spring are generally difficult seasons in which to establish proper drafts. The colder the outside air is relative to room temperature, the stronger the draft. Operating the Stove As outlined above, there are days when a good draft is just not easy to establish. The causes are usually seasonal factors or a cold chimney. Try starting the fire by using small kindling and fuel to obtain a quick, hot fire. Tend the fire frequently with small fuel until the chimney is hot and the draft is well established. Sometimes, partially opening a first floor window briefly will help quickly get draft established.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Follow instructions in the manual for a proper catalyst light-off
Burning materials that cause a lot of char and

fly-ash

| Don’t burn cardboard, gift wrap paper, or garbage. Burn only dry, seasoned wood, per the owner’s manual.
Bypass closed too soon| Follow instructions in the manual for a proper catalyst light-off
CATALYSTS PLUGGING OR MASKING (SOOT/CRESO- TE)| Burning wet, pitchy woods, or burning large loads of small diameter wood with the combustor in the operating position without catalyst light off occurring| Burn dry seasoned wood. Follow instructions in the manual for a proper catalyst light-off, and ensure catalyst light-off as occurred before closing bypass damper. It may be possible to burn the soot or creosote off by building a hot fire, and allowing the stove to run until the catalysts are well within the operating range before closing the bypass. Continue to run the stove at a high

temperature for one hour, while ensuring the catalysts stay in the upper operating range, but not too hot.

WARPING OR BOWING OF THE CATALYSTS| Excessive catalyst temperatures for long periods of time.| Ensure that the catalysts remain in the operating zone, and does not get to hot. Reduce air control settings for a lower burn rate to ensure catalyst temperatures do not exceed the operating range.
