2.4 EPA Loading
The loading methods shown below are those used during emissions certification. Fuel used was beech cordwood and fuel length was 16 ± 1 inches.
2.4.1 Air control
The air control is located below the ash shelf on the right. To open the air control, push the air control handle 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.
2.4.2 High burn rate (primary air control open)
Open the air control completely. Criss cross 8 small pieces (2″x2″) of wood into the firebox in 2 layers (3 in the bottom, 3 in the middle, 2 on the top). Criss cross 10 to 12 finely split kindling wood pieces over 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 until the 2 top layers are burning. 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 small pieces, level the coal bed and put 6 logs in the firebox. Place 2 small pieces (about 3″ x 3″) in the bottom in a reverse V shape, then put two medium size pieces (about 4″x4″) in an East-West orientation in the back, one over the other (over the reverse V). Put the 2 last medium size pieces (about 4″x4″) in the front, one over the other. Try to leave air space between the pieces. Let the door open at 90° for 3 minutes or when the fire is fully established and close the door. Leave the air control fully opened.
2.4.3 Medium and low burn rate
On a 2″ coal bed that is dark red, add 6 pieces of wood in the firebox. Place 2 small pieces (about 2.5″ x 2.5″) in the bottom in a reverse V shape, then put 2 medium size pieces (about 4″x4″) in an East-West orientation in the back (over the reverse V), one over the other. Put a big piece (about 5″x5″) in an East-West orientation in the front (over the reverse V) and put a last medium size piece (about 4″x4″) over the big one. Try to leave air space between the pieces. Let the door open at 90° for 5 minutes or when the fire is fully established and close the door. Leave the primary air control open for approximately 5 minutes and then close the primary air control halfway. After another 5 minutes, close the air control completely for the low burn rate and 7/32″ open for the medium burn rate.

2.5 Materials
The body of this fireplace, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel. Should it ever become necessary many years in the future, almost the entire fireplace can be recycled into new products, thus eliminating the need to mine new materials.
The paint coating on the fireplace is very thin. Its VOC content (Volatile Organic Compounds) is very low. VOCs can be responsible for smog, so all the paint used during the manufacturing process meets the latest air quality requirements regarding VOC reduction or elimination.

ENGLISH

The air tubes are stainless steel, which can also be recycled.
Moulded refractory panels are mainly composed of silicon dioxide, also known as silica, a product processed from a mined mineral. It is most commonly found in nature in the form of sand and clay. Disposal at a waste management center is recommended. The steel mesh contained in some refractory bricks can also be recycled.

The door and glass gaskets are fibreglass which is spun from melted sand. Black gaskets have been dipped into a solvent-free solution. Disposal at a waste management center is recommended.

The door glass is a 5/32″ (4 mm) thick ceramic material that contains no toxic chemicals. It is made of natural raw materials such as sand and quartz that are combined in such a way to form a high temperature glass. Ceramic glass cannot be recycled in the same way as normal glass, so it should not be disposed of with regular household products. Disposal at a waste management center is recommended.

2.6 Zone Heating
This fireplace is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area it is installed in, as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature. This is called zone heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces within homes. Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular space within a home, such as a basement, a family room or an addition that lacks another heat source.

Houses of moderate size and relatively new construction can be heated with a properly sized and located wood fireplace. Whole house zone heating works best when the fireplace is in the part of the house where the family spends most of its time. This is normally the main living area where the kitchen, dining and living rooms are located.

Locating the fireplace in this area will give the maximum benefit of the heat it produces and will achieve the highest possible heating efficiency and comfort. The space where the most time is spent will be warmest, while bedrooms and basement (if there is one) will stay cooler. In this way, less wood is burnt than with other forms of heating.

Although the fireplace may be able to heat the main living areas of the house to an adequate temperature, it is strongly recommended to also have a conventional oil, gas or electric heating system to provide backup heating.

The success of zone heating will depend on several factors, including the correct sizing and location of the fireplace, the size, layout and age of your home and your climate zone. Threeseason vacation homes can usually be heated with smaller fireplaces than houses that are heated all winter.

2.7 Emissions and Efficiency
The low smoke emissions produced by the special features inside this fireplace firebox mean that the household will release up to 90% less smoke into the outside environment than if an older conventional fireplace was used. But there is more to the emission control technologies than protecting the environment.
The smoke released from wood when it is heated contains about half of the energy content of the fuel. By burning the wood completely, this fireplace releases all the heat energy from the wood instead of wasting it as smoke up the chimney. Also, the features inside the firebox allow control of the air supply meaning controlling the heat output, while maintaining clean and efficient flaming combustion, which boosts the efficient delivery of heat to the home.
The emission control and advanced combustion features of this fireplace can only work properly if the fuel used is in the correct moisture content range of 15% to 20%. Refer to the following section of suggestions on preparing fuelwood and judging its moisture.

3. Fuel
Good firewood has been cut to the correct length for the fireplace, split to a range of sizes and stacked in the open until its moisture content is down to 15% to 20%.

DO NOT BURN:

· GARBAGE;

· SALT WATER DRIFTWOOD OR OTHER

· LAWN CLIPPINGS OR YARD WASTE;

PREVIOUSLY SALT WATER SATURATED

· MATERIALS CONTAINING RUBBER, MATERIALS;

INCLUDING TIRES;

· UNSEASONED WOOD; OR

· MATERIALS CONTAINING PLASTIC;

· PAPER

PRODUCTS,

CARDBOARD,

· WASTE PETROLEUM PRODUCTS, PAINTS OR PAINT THINNERS, OR ASPHALT

PLYWOOD, OR PARTICLE BOARD. THE PROHIBITION AGAINST BURNING THESE

PRODUCTS;

MATERIALS DOES NOT PROHIBIT THE

· MATERIALS CONTAINING ASBESTOS; · CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION DEBRIS; · RAILROAD TIES OR PRESSURE-TREATED
WOOD; · MANURE OR ANIMAL REMAINS;

USE OF FIRE STARTERS MADE FROM PAPER, CARDBOARD, SAW DUST, WAX AND SIMILAR SUBSTANCES FOR THE PURPOSE OF STARTING A FIRE IN AN AFFECTED WOOD HEATER.

BURNING THESE MATERIALS MAY RESULT IN THE RELEASE OF TOXIC FUMES OR RENDER THE HEATER INEFFECTIVE AND CAUSE SMOKE.

3.1 Tree Species
The tree species the firewood is produced from is less important than its moisture content. The main difference in firewood from various tree species is the density of the wood. Hardwoods are denser than softwoods.

Homeowners with access to both hardwood and softwood use both types for different purposes. Softer woods make good fuel for mild weather in spring and fall because they light quickly and produce less heat.

Softwoods are not as dense as hardwoods so a given volume of wood contains less energy.

Installation and Operation Manual – Everest II

Page 15

ENGLISH

Using softwoods avoids overheating the house, which can be a common problem with wood heating in moderate weather. Harder woods are best for colder winter weather when more heat and longer burn cycles are desirable. Hardwood trees like oak, maple, ash and beech are slower growing and longer lived than softer woods like poplar and birch. That makes hardwood trees more valuable. The advice that only hardwoods are good to burn is outdated. Old, leaky cast iron fireplaces wouldn’t hold a fire overnight unless they were fed large pieces of hardwood.
3.2 Log Length Logs should be cut at least 1″ (25 mm) shorter than the firebox so they fit in easily. Pieces that are even slightly too long makes loading the fireplace very difficult. The most common standard length of firewood is 16″ (400 mm).
3.3 Piece Size Firewood dries more quickly when it is split. Large unsplit rounds can take years to dry enough to burn. Even when dried, unsplit logs are difficult to ignite because they don’t have the sharp edges where the flames first catch.
Wood should be split to a range of sizes, from about 3″ to 6″ (75 mm to 150 mm) in cross section. Having a range of sizes makes starting and rekindling fires much easier.
3.4 Compressed Wood Logs Compressed wood logs made of 100% compressed sawdust can be burned with caution in the number of these logs burned at once. Do not burn compressed logs made of wax impregnated sawdust or logs with any chemical additives. Do not poke or stir the logs while they are burning.
Use only logs that meet the requirements of ULC/ORD C127 M1990 for composite logs. Refer to package cautions and warnings before using logs.

Installation and Operation Manual – Everest II

ENGLISH

3.5 Drying Time
Firewood that is not dry enough to burn is the cause of most complaints about wood-burning appliances. Continually burning green or unseasoned wood produces more creosote and involves lack of heat and dirty glass doors.
Firewood with a moisture content between 15% and 20% will allow the fireplace to produce its highest possible efficiency.
Here are some facts to consider in estimating drying time:
– Firewood bought from a dealer is rarely dry enough to burn, so it is advisable to buy the wood in spring and dry it yourself;
– Drying happens faster in dry weather than in a damp climate;
– Drying happens faster in warm summer weather than in winter weather;
– Split pieces dry more quickly than unsplit rounds;
– Softwoods like pine, spruce, poplar, and aspen take less time to dry than hardwoods. They can be dry enough to burn after being stacked to air dry only for the summer months;
– Hardwoods like oak, maple and ash can take one, or even two years to dry fully, especially if the pieces are big;
– Firewood dries more quickly when stacked outside in a location exposed to sun and wind; it takes much longer to dry when stacked in a wood shed;
– Firewood with a moisture content of 15% to 20% will allow the fireplace to reach its highest efficiency.
Firewood is dry enough to burn when:
– Cracks form at the end of logs;
– The wood turns from white or cream colored to grey or yellow;
– Two pieces of wood struck together sounds hollow;
– The face of a fresh cut feels warm and dry;
– The moisture content read by a moisture meter is between 15% to 20%.

4. Operating the Fireplace
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum 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.

ENGLISH

4.1 Using a Firescreen
This product should not be operated with door open using fire screen (AC01379) in the United States or provinces where any particulate matter emission rate limit is enforced (ex: US EPA).
This fireplace has been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a firescreen, sold separately. The firescreen must be properly secured on the fireplace to avoid any risk of sparks damaging the flooring. When the firescreen is in use, do not leave the fireplace unattended to respond promptly in the event of smoke spillage into the room. Potential causes of smoke spillage are described in Section «9. The Venting System» of this manual. See «Appendix 6: Optional Firescreen Installation» for installation instructions.
Operating the fireplace with a firescreen increases possibilities of generating carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is an odourless gas that is highly toxic which can cause death at high concentration in air. Installation of a carbon monoxide detector is highly recommended.

4.2 Blower Operation

A blower (A) is already installed in the fireplace. It is located behind the faceplate, at the bottom of the fireplace. Its function is to increase airflow around the fireplace air jacket and improve hot air circulation in the room. When used regularly, the blower can provide a small increase in efficiency, up to 2%. However, the use of a blower should not be used as a way to gain more output from a fireplace that is undersized for the space it is intended to heat.

The blower can operate in automatic or manual mode. To choose the mode, just press the rocker switch (B) and choose «AUTO» for automatic mode and «MAN» for manual mode.

Automatic mode: Press the rocker switch (B) and choose the «AUTO» mode. Choose the operating speed of the blower with the rheostat button (C) above. The blower will start automatically when the fireplace is warm and will shut down automatically when the fireplace is cold.

Manual mode: Press the rocker switch (B) and select the «MAN» mode. Choose the operating speed of the blower with the rheostat button (C) above. The blower will start immediately. The blower must be stopped manually, either by turning the rheostat button (C) fully to the left or by changing the mode.

OFF: To completely turn off the blower, turn the rheostat button (C) counterclockwise until the

blower stops.

ENGLISH

5. Burning Wood Efficiently
5.1 First Use Two things happen when burning the first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components are conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also trigger false alarms in smoke detectors. When lighting the heater for the first few times, it may be wise to open doors and windows to ventilate the house.
Burn two or three small fires to begin the curing and conditioning process. Then build bigger and hotter fires until there is no longer paint smell from the fireplace. As hotter and hotter fires are burned, more of the painted surfaces reach the curing temperature of the paint. The smell of curing paint does not disappear until one or two very hot fires have been burned.
5.2 Lighting Fires Each person heating with wood develops its own favorite way to light fires. Regardless of the method chosen, the goal should be to have a hot fire burning, quickly. A fire that ignites fast produces less smoke and deposits less creosote in the chimney.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel (naphtha), fuel oil, motor oil, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids or aerosols to start or `freshen up’ a fire in this wood fireplace. Keep all such liquids well away from the fireplace while it is in use.
Here are three popular and effective ways to ignite wood fires.
5.2.1 Conventional Method
The conventional method to build a wood fire is to crumple 5 to 10 sheets of newspaper and place them in the firebox and hold them in place with ten pieces of kindling wood. The kindling should be placed on and behind the newspaper.
Then add two or three small pieces of firewood. Open the air intake control completely and ignite the newspaper. Leave the door slightly ajar. Once the fire has ignited, the door can be closed with the air control still fully open. When the kindling is almost completely burned, standard firewood pieces can be added.
Do not leave the fireplace unattended when the door is slightly open. Always close and latch the door after the fire ignites.
5.2.2 The Top Down Method
This method is the opposite of the conventional method and only works properly if well-seasoned wood is used.
Place three or four small, split, dry logs in the firebox. Arrange the kindling wood on the logs in two layers at right angles and place a dozen finely split kindling on the second row. It is possible to use ragged paper but it may not hold in place since it tends to roll while it is burning. The best is to wrap a sheet on itself, grab the ends of the roll and make a knot.

Installation and Operation Manual – Everest II

Page 19

Use four or five sheets of paper tied together and put them on top and around the kindling. Open the air intake control completely, ignite the paper and close the door.
The top down fire method has two advantages over the traditional method: first, the fire does not collapse on itself, and it is not necessary to add wood gradually since the combustion chamber is full before the fire is lit.
The following load orientation is the one who will give the best performance for this fireplace. The figure below is for reference only. The quantity and size of the logs may vary.

ENGLISH

5.2.3 Two Parallel Logs Method
Two spit logs are placed in the firebox with a few sheets of twisted newspapers in between the logs. Fine kindling is added across the two logs and some larger kindling across those, log cabin style. Newspaper is lit.

5.2.4 Using Fire Starters
Commercial fire starters can be used instead of a newspaper. Some of these starters are made of sawdust and wax and others are made of specialized flammable solid chemicals. Always follow the package directions when using.
Gel starters can also be used, but only to light a fire, in a cold combustion chamber without hot embers inside.

5.3 Combustion Cycles

Wood heating with a space heater is very different than other forms of heating. There will be temperature variations in different parts of the house and there will be temperature variations throughout day and night. This is normal, and for experienced wood burners these are advantages of zone heating wood burning.

Wood heaters don’t have a steady heat output. It is normal for the temperature to rise after a new load of wood is ignited and for its temperature to gradually decrease throughout the burning cycle.

This increasing and decreasing temperature can be matched with the household routines. For example, the temperature in the area can be cooler when the household is active, and it can be warmer when it is inactive.

Page 20

Installation and Operation Manual – Everest II

Wood burns best in cycles. A cycle starts when a new load of wood is ignited by hot coals and ends when that load has been consumed down to a bed of charcoal about the same size as it was when the wood was loaded.
Trying to produce a steady heat output by placing a single log on the fire at regular intervals is not recommended. Always place at least three, and preferably more pieces on the fire at a time so that the heat radiated from one piece helps to ignite the pieces next to it. Each load of wood should provide several hours of heating. The size of each load may vary depending on the amount of heat required.
Burning in cycles means the loading door does not need to be opened while the wood is flaming. This is an advantage since it is preventing smoke leaking from the heater when the door is opened as a full fire is burning. This is especially true if the chimney is on the outside wall of the house.
If the door must be opened while the fire is flaming, fully open air control for a few minutes then open the door slowly.
5.4 Rekindling a Fire
When the temperature of the room is lower and all that remains is embers, it is time to reload. Remove excess ash from the front of the firebox and bring the ashes forward. Place a new load of wood on, and at the back of the embers. Open the air control completely and close the door.

ENGLISH

Raking the coals is useful for two reasons. First, it brings them near where most of the combustion air enters the firebox. This will ignite the new load quickly. Secondly, the charcoal will not be smothered by the new load of wood. When the embers are simply spread inside the combustion chamber, the new load smoulder for a long time before igniting.
Close the air control only when the firebox is full of bright turbulent flames, the wood is charred, and its edges are glowing.
The heater should not be left unattended during ignition and the fire should not burn at full intensity for more than a few minutes.
When lighting a new load, the appliance produces a heat surge. This heat surge is pleasant when the room temperature is cool but can be unpleasant when the room is already warm. Therefore, it is best to let each load of wood burn completely so that the room cools down before putting a load of wood back on.

5.5 Removing Ashes

Ash should be removed from the firebox every two to three days of full-time heating. Ash should not accumulate excessively in the firebox since it will affect the proper operation of the appliance.

Installation and Operation Manual – Everest II

Page 21

The best time to remove ash is in the morning, after an overnight fire when the fireplace is relatively cold, but there is still a little chimney draft to draw the ash dust into the fireplace and prevent going out into the room.
Ashes should be placed in a tightly covered metal container. The container must be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well away from all combustible materials. Ashes almost always contain live embers that can stay hot for days and which release carbon monoxide gas. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be kept in a closed metal container until they are completely cooled. No other waste should be placed in this container.

ENGLISH

CENDRES ASHES

NEVER STORE ASHES INDOORS OR IN A NON-METALLIC CONTAINER OR ON A WOODEN DECK.

5.6 Air Intake Control
Once the firewood, firebox and chimney are hot, air intake can be reduced to achieve a steady burn.
As the air intake is reduced, the burn rate decreases. This has the effect of distributing the thermal energy of the fuel over a longer period of time. In addition, the flow rate of exhaust through the appliance and flue pipe slows down, which increases the duration of the energy transfer of the exhaust gases. As the air intake is reduced, the flame slows down.
If the flames diminish to the point of disappearing, the air intake has been reduced too early in the combustion cycle or the wood used is too wet. If the wood is dry and the air control is used properly, the flames should decrease, but remain bright and stable.
On the other hand, too much air can make the fire uncontrollable, creating very high temperatures in the unit as well as in the chimney and seriously damaging them. A reddish glow on the unit and on the chimney components indicates overheating. Excessive temperatures can cause a chimney fire.
5.7 Fire Types
Using the air intake control is not the only way to match the fireplace heat output to the desired temperature in the house. A house will need far less heating in October than in January to maintain a comfortable temperature. Filling the firebox full in fall weather will overheat the space. Otherwise, the combustion rate will have to be reduced to a minimum and the fire will be smoky and inefficient.

ENGLISH

Here are some suggestions for building fires suitable for different heating needs.

5.7.1 Flash Fire
To build a small fire that will produce a low heat output, use small pieces of firewood and load them crisscross in the firebox. The pieces should only be 3″ (76 mm) to 4″ (102 mm) in diameter. After raking the coals, lay two pieces parallel to each other diagonally in the firebox and lay two more across them in the other direction. Open the air control fully and only reduce the air after the wood is fully flaming.
This kind of fire is good for mild weather and should provide enough heat for up to four hours. Small fires like this are a good time to use softer wood species and avoid overheating the house.

5.7.2 Low and Long Output Fires
For a fire that will last up to eight hours but will not produce intense heat, use soft wood and place the logs compactly in the firebox. Before reducing the air intake, the load will have to burn at full heat for long enough for charring the surface of the logs. The flame must be bright before letting the fire burn by itself.

5.7.3 High Output Fires
When heating needs are high during cold weather, the fire should burn steadily and brightly. This is the time to use larger pieces of hardwood. Place the biggest pieces at the back of the firebox and place the rest of the pieces compactly. A densely built fire like this will produce the longest combustion this fireplace is capable of. Special attention must be paid when building fires like this since if the air intake is reduced too quickly, the fire could smoulder. The wood must be flaming brightly before leaving the fire to burn.

5.7.4 Maximum Burn Cycle Times

The burn cycle time is the period between loading wood on a coal bed and the consumption of that wood back to a coal bed of the same size. The flaming phase of the fire lasts for roughly the first half of the burn cycle and the second half is the coal bed phase during which there is little or no flame. The burning time expected from this fireplace, including both phases, will vary depending on a number of things, such as:

– firebox size, – the amount of wood loaded, – the species of wood, – the wood moisture content,

– the size of the space to be heated, – the climate zone where the house is, and – the time of the year.

The table below gives an approximate maximum burn cycle times, based on firebox volume.

Table 1 : Approximate Maximum Burn Cycle Time

FIREBOX VOLUME

MAXIMUM BURN CYCLE TIME

<1.5 cubic feet 1.5 c.f. to 2.0 c.f 2.0 c.f. to 2.5 c.f. 2.5 c.f. to 3.0 c.f.

3.0 c.f.

3 to 5 hours 5 to 6 hours 6 to 8 hours 8 to 9 hours 9 to 10 hours

Installation and Operation Manual – Everest II

Page 23

ENGLISH

A longer burning time is not necessarily an indication of efficient fireplace operation. It is preferable to build a smaller fire that will provide three or four hours of heating than to fully load the firebox for a much longer burn. Shorter burn cycles make it easier to match the heat output of the fireplace to the heat demand for the space.
5.7.5 Logs Orientation In a relatively square firebox, the wood can be loaded north-south (ends of the logs visible) or east-west (sides of the logs visible).
North-south loads allow more wood to be loaded at the same time. On the other hand, they break into smaller pieces faster. North-south loading is good for high output, long lasting fires for cold weather.
East-west loads allow a limited amount of wood since too many logs could cause them to fall on the glass. East-west loads, placed in a compact way, take a long time before breaking down. They are excellent for low-intensity, long- lasting fires in relatively mild weather.
5.7.6 Carbon Monoxide When there is no more flame in the firebox and there are still some unburned logs, check outside if there is smoke coming out of the chimney. If this is the case, it means that the fire is out of air to burn properly. In this situation, the level of CO increase and it is important to react. Open the door slightly and move the logs with a poker. Create a passage for the air below by making a trench with the ember bed. Add small pieces of wood to restart the combustion.
6. Maintenance
This heater will give many years of reliable service if used and maintained properly. Internal components of the firebox such as firebricks or refractory panels, baffle and air tubes will wear over time. Defective parts should always be replaced with original parts.
To avoid premature deterioration, follow the lighting and reloading procedures in section «5. Burning Wood Efficiently» and also avoid letting the heater run with the air intake fully open for entire burn cycles.
6.1 Cleaning and Painting
Painted and plated surfaces can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth. If the paint is scratched or damaged, it is possible to repaint the fireplace with a heat-resistant paint. Do not clean or paint the fireplace when it is hot. Before painting, the surface should be sanded lightly with sandpaper and then wiped off to remove dust. Apply two thin layers of paint.
6.2 Refractory Material and Baffle
The intense heat of the fire can cause slight cracks in the refractory panels. It is possible to minimize the appearance of these cracks by hardening the panels as described in the section «5.1 First Use». Slight cracks will not reduce the effectiveness of the panels. On the other hand, if wider cracks appear, they must be replaced. Inspect the refractory panels and the baffle for damage periodically and replace anything that is cracked or broken.
Operation of the heater with a cracked or missing baffle may cause unsafe temperatures and hazardous conditions and will void the warranty.

6.3 Glass Door 6.3.1 Cleaning Under normal conditions, the door glass should stay relatively clear. If the firewood is dry enough and the operating instructions in this manual are followed, a whitish, dusty deposit will form on the inner surface of the glass after a week or so of use. This is normal and can be easily removed when the heater is cold by wiping with a damp cloth or paper towel and then drying.
When the fireplace runs at a low combustion rate, light brown stains may form, especially in the lower corners of the glass. This indicates that the fire has been smoky and some of the smoke has condensed on the glass. It also indicates incomplete combustion of the wood, which also means more smoke emissions and faster formation of creosote in the chimney.
The deposits that form on the glass are the best indication of the fuel quality and success in properly using the fireplace. These stains can be cleaned with a special wood stove glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive products to clean the glass.
The goal should be having a clear glass with no brown stains. If brown stains appear regularly on the glass, something about the fuel or the operating procedure needs to be changed. When brown streaks are coming from the edge of the glass, it is time to replace the gasket around the glass. Always replace the gasket with a genuine one.
Do not clean the glass when the fireplace is hot.
Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut.
Do not use the fireplace if the glass is broken.
6.3.2 Replacement The glass used is a ceramic glass, 5/32″ (4 mm) thick,12 ½” x 11 ” (319 mm x 283 mm) tested to reach temperatures up to 1400º F. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with one having the same specification. Tempered glass or ordinary glass will not withstand the high temperatures of this unit.
To replace the glass, use the following procedure;
Remove the glass retaining screws (A) and clips (B) then the metal frames (C) that hold the glass (D) to the door frame (E). Lift out the glass (D) and pull off the old gasket. Do the same for the other door.
This is a good time to clean the glass thoroughly.

Installation and Operation Manual – Everest II

Page 25

ENGLISH

To remove or replace the glass (G):
1. Remove the door (H) and place it face-down on something soft. 2. Remove the glass retainers (E) held in place by the screws (D). 3. Remove the frames (F). 4. Remove the glass. If it is damaged install a new one in place. The
replacement glass must have a gasket all around. 5. 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.
6.3.3 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. Pinch the gasket onto the glass in a U-shape, all around
the glass.

6.4 Door

In order for the fireplace 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.

At the end of each heating season it is recommended to add a high temperature graphite paste on the threads of the door handles. This paste will protect the threads from rust and prevent dust accumulation that can prevent the handles from rotating freely.

6.4.1 Adjustment The door seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment on the right door:

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.

Installation and Operation Manual – Everest II

Page 27

6.4.2 Gasket
Use the correct replacement gasket: (A) for the doors and (B) for the doors junction. Both can be purchased from your retailer. The diameter and density of the gasket is important to getting a good seal.
Place the doors face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or piece of carpet. Remove the old gaskets from the door by pulling and prying it out with an old screw driver. Then use the screwdriver to scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door. Now run a 1/4″ (6 mm) bead of high temperature silicone in the door frame gasket groove of the door gasket. Starting from the middle of the hinge side, press the gasket into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket as you place it. Leave the gasket about 1/2″ long when you cut it and press the end into the groove. Tuck any loose fibres under the gasket and into the silicone. Do the same for center door gaskets. Repeat for the other door. Close the door and do not use the fireplace for 24 hours.

6.5 Exhaust System
Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney, forming an inflammable deposit called creosote. If creosote builds up in the system, it can ignite when a hot fire is burned in the insert. A very hot fire can progress to the top of the chimney. Severe chimney fires can damage even the best chimneys. Smouldering, smoky fires can quickly cause a thick layer of creosote to form. When the insert is operated properly, the exhaust from the chimney is mostly clear and creosote builds up more slowly.

«Creosote – Formation and Need to Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cooler 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. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated (” [3 mm] or more it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire»

Page 28

Installation and Operation Manual – Everest II

ENGLISH

6.5.1 Cleaning frequency It is not possible to predict how much or how quickly creosote will form in the chimney. It is important, therefore, to check the buildup in the chimney monthly until the rate of creosote formation is determined. Even if creosote forms slowly in the system, the chimney should be cleaned and inspected at least once each year. Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and firing technique. Check daily for creosote buildup 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.
6.5.2 Sweeping the Chimney Chimney sweeping can be a difficult and dangerous job. People with no chimney sweeping experience will often prefer to hire a professional chimney sweep to inspect and clean the system for the first time. After seeing the cleaning process, some will choose to do it themselves. The chimney should be checked regularly for creosote buildup. Inspection and cleaning of the chimney can be facilitated by removing the baffle. See «Appendix 8: Secondary Air Tubes and Baffle Installation» for more details.
6.5.3 Chimney Fire Regular chimney maintenance and inspection can prevent chimney fires. If you have a chimney fire, follow these steps:
1. Close the fireplace doors and the air intake control;
2. Alert the occupants of the house of the possible danger;
3. If you require assistance, alert the fire department;
4. If possible, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the fire. Do not use water as it may cause a dangerous steam explosion;
Do not use the fireplace again until the fireplace and its chimney have been inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or a fire department inspector.

8.6.5 R Factor

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 :

Example: 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.

Common brick K value = 5 Thickness = 4″ R value = Thickness/K = 4/5 = 0.8

Durock K value =1.92 Thickness = 1″ R value = Thickness/K = 1/1.92 = 0.52

Total R value = .8 + 0.52 = 1.32

9. The Venting System
The venting system, acts as the engine that drives the wood-heating system. Even the best fireplace will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable chimney. The heat in the flue gases that pass from the fireplace into the chimney is not waste heat. This heat is what the chimney uses to make the draft that draws in combustion air, keeps smoke inside the fireplace and safely vents exhaust to outside. Heat in the flue gas can be seen as the fuel the chimney uses to make draft.
9.1 Location The location of the chimney is crucial for the proper functioning of the appliance. The chimney should be installed within the house rather than up an outside wall and should rise straight up through the tallest part of the house. This installation benefits from being enclosed within the warm house environment, produce stronger draft, accumulate fewer creosote deposits and will be unaffected by cold temperatures or harsh winds.
Outside chimneys will lead to cold back drafting when there is no fire in the fireplace, slow kindling of new fires, and smoke roll-out when the door is open for loading.

ENGLISH

Page 42

Installation and Operation Manual – Everest II

9.2 Supply of Combustion Air
The safest and most reliable supply of combustion air for a fireplace is from the room in which it is installed. Room air is already preheated so it will not chill the fire, and its availability is not affected by wind pressures on the house. The only case in which the fireplace may not have adequate access to combustion air is if the operation of a powerful exhaust device (such as a kitchen range exhaust) causes the pressure in the house to become negative relative to outdoors.

ENGLISH

9.3 Chimney Installation
The chimney manufacturer’s installation manual takes precedence over the following installation instructions. To ensure a safe installation, please refer to it. Some non-illustrated parts may be required.

9.3.1 General Advices
· This wood burning fireplace has optimum performance and efficiency when connected to a chimney with a 6″ (150 mm) diameter flue, only the chimneys listed in the «Table 4 : Approved Chimneys» can be used.
· To insure a good draft, it is recommended to have a length of 18″ (457 mm) from the top of the unit to the first offset. However, starting using a 30° or 45° (Canada Only) elbow is also approved.
· A CHIMNEY VENTING A FIREPLACE SHALL NOT VENT ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.
· The minimum height of the chimney system is 15 feet (4.6 m) from the base of the appliance to the chimney cap. If only the minimum height of the chimney system is installed, the operating conditions must be optimal (interior chimney, minimum height of 18″ (457 mm) before any deviation, etc.).

Installation and Operation Manual – Everest II

· Avoid deviations as much as possible, especially the sharp ones. Each deviation adds restriction to the system and can lead to draft problems.

· If the chimney extends higher than 5 ft. (1.5 m) above its point of contact with the roof, it must be secured using a roof brace.

· A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney.

· A clearance of 2″ (50 mm) between the chimney and any combustible material is required outside the fireplace’s chase (see section 9.5.3, offset chimney installation, for clearances requirement inside the fireplace’s chase).This space must remain free, without insulation or other combustible material.The parts of the chimney that pass into inhabited spaces must be enclosed in an enclosure.

Page 44

Installation and Operation Manual – Everest II

ENGLISH

· For installations where more than one chimney is located in the same non- chase or within the same area, their terminations must be separated by at least 16″ (410 mm) horizontally, and 18″ (460 mm) vertically. This separation is to prevent smoke migrating from one chimney to a n o t h e r.
· Cut and frame square holes in all floors, ceilings, and roof that the chimney will go through to provide a 2″ (50 mm) minimum clearance between the chimney and any combustible materials. Do not fill this 2″ space with insulation or any other combustible material.
· In all cases, the chimney must start with a 6″ diameter anchor plate attached to the fireplace. · If the male anchor plate nozzle exceeds 2″ (50 mm) in length (A), it must be cut above the
lifting hooks welded inside the flue outlet so that it is sitting perfectly on the top of the fireplace.

Installation rules and advice
· The minimum height of the hot air duct is 68″ (1.7 m). It must be measured from the base of the fireplace to the top of the hot air outlets.
· Do not connect the hot air ducts to a central heating system. The malfunction of the heating system would overheat the fireplace.
· Do not use insulated flexible ducts as they may overheat.
· Do not use «T» fittings or anything other than those listed below.
· All ducts must be placed vertically or horizontally. Never route the ducting downwards.
· The flaps of the hot air outlet grills must point down to prevent overheating of the adjacent ceilings.
· Always install both hot air outlet grilles when the hot air gravity kit is installed.
· The hot air outlets can be installed in the same room as the fireplace, or both can be installed in adjacent rooms or upstairs. If the outlets are installed at different heights, the higher outlet will draw more heat.
· When forced air kit is installed in conjunction with a gravity kit, the forced air device will draw some of the air from the gravity kit ducting, therefore reducing its efficiency.
Clearances
· Maximum length of pipes, including elbows: 10′ (3 m) · The maximum number of elbows allowed per duct is two. · There shall be a clearance of at least 12″ (305 mm) between the hot air outlet frame and a ceiling,
side wall or mantle made of flammable material. · When the duct passes through a wall or floor made of flammable material, a firestop radiation shield
(same as the one used for a class A chimney) must be installed in the opening of the wall or floor. There must be a clearance of at least 2″ (50 mm) between the ducts and the firestop.

APPENDIX 5: OPTIONAL FORCED AIR KIT INSTALLATION
It is possible to connect a forced air kit on the back or on either side of the Everest II. This kit allows distributing heat to another room up to 50 feet (15 m) of the fireplace. The insulated flexible pipe (not included in the kit) must be HVAC type pipe and must comply with ULC S110 and/or UL 181, Class 0 or Class 1 Standards and must withstand temperatures up to 250 °F.
For the complete installation procedure, see the installation manual provided with the kit. You can also download this manual at www.osburn-mfg.com.

ENGLISH

*The EPA standard states that it is necessary to perform certification testing with any ventilation that is likely to alter the units’ performance. For this reason, SBI has tested the effects of the forced air kit on the emissions of fine particles. Due to the design of our appliance and more specifically to the temperature sensor that is installed to control stops and starts, the forced art kit does not affect the emission results. In fact, this option promotes the recovery of excess heat to later redistribute it to other rooms. During our testing, it was noted that the convection blowers underneath the firebox had more of an effect on the fine particles emission due to the air being directed onto the firebox thus cooling the unit. However, this appliance has already been tested for emission
