INSTALLATION
Installation Overview
When choosing a location for your new stove, there are a multitude of factors
that should be taken into account before beginning the installation.
1. Traffic Patterns To help prevent accidents, the stove should be placed
in a location where it is out of the way of normal travel through the home.
2. Heat Flow When deciding on a location for the stove, consider the way
heat moves throughout your home. Install the stove where you need the heat;
basement installations often do not allow sufficient heat to flow to the upper
floors and a top floor installation will not allow any heat to reach the
floors below. Always consider that heat rises and will take the path of least
resistance while it is still hot.
3. Exhaust Location The engine which drives a wood stove is the chimney
system, so it is important to consider precisely how the chimney system will
be integrated into the stove installation. Ideally, a wood stove chimney will
run completely vertical from the flue collar of the unit all the way to the
termination point above the roof line. Keeping the entire chimney system
inside the heated envelope of the home will ensure a strong, easy to initiate
draft in the chimney. Although exterior chimney systems often function
properly, they are more likely to suffer from cold down drafts at start up or
provide weak draft to the unit. Also, consider the cross-sectional area of the
chimney; although existing masonry chimneys can often be used, a large
external masonry chimney will result in a unit that is difficult or impossible
to operate properly. In that case, an insulated chimney liner will often be
required to supply the necessary draft.
4. Wall Construction Locating the stove so that the exhaust system can pass
between studs will simplify the installation and eliminate the need to reframe
any sections of the wall or ceiling to accommodate the wall thimble or ceiling
box.
WARNING
· Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
· Do Not Over-fire If any external part starts to glow, you are over-firing.
Reduce intake air supply. Over-firing will void your warranty.
· Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as specified. Failure to
comply may result in a house fire.
· Tested and approved for cordwood only. Burning any other fuel will void your
warranty.

Clearance required between the stovetop and the ceiling above (US) is 30 inches (or 762 MM for Canada). Notes for this unit: The product may differ slightly from the diagrams. The clearances are the minimum for this unit and may need to be increased to have proper ventilation clearances. Observe all ventilation manufacturer clearances and local codes.
Venting Introduction
INSTALLATION
Venting Guidelines
This wood stove operates on a natural draft system, in which the chimney
system pulls air through the stove. This unit must be installed in accordance
with the following detailed descriptions of venting techniques; not installing
the stove in accordance with the details listed here can result in poor stove
performance, property damage, bodily injury or death. Avoid make-shift
compromises when installing the venting system. Englander is not responsible
for any damage incurred due to a poor or unsafe installation.
Be certain that all aspects of the venting system are installed to the venting
manufacturer’s instructions, particularly the required clearances to
combustibles. Also, be certain to use an attic radiation shield to prevent
insulation from contacting a chimney which passes through an attic.
The chimney system is the “engine” which drives a wood stove, so it is
imperative for proper unit function that the venting system be installed
exactly as described in the following section.
If questions arise pertaining to the safe installation of the stove, our
Technical Support line (877-356-6663) is available. Contact your local code
official to be certain your installation meets local and national fire codes,
and if you’re uncertain about how to safely install the stove, we strongly
recommend contacting a local NFI certified installer to perform the
installation.
WARNING: Venting system surfaces get HOT, and can cause burns if touched.
Noncombustible shielding or guards may be required.
· ALWAYS install vent pipe in strict adherence to the instructions and
clearances included with your venting system.
· DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
· DO NOT install a flue pipe damper or any other restrictive device in the
exhaust venting system of this unit.
· USE an approved wall thimble when passing through a wall and a ceiling
support/fire stop when passing through a ceiling.
· INSTALL three sheet metal screws at every chimney connector joint.
· AVOID excessive horizontal runs and elbows, as both will reduce the draft of
the venting system and will result in poor stove performance.
· INSPECT your venting system often, to be certain it is clear of creosote,
fly-ash and other restrictions.
· CLEAN the venting system as detailed in the maintenance section of this
manual.
· ADHERE to the 10-3-2 rule regarding chimney terminations.
· INSTALL single wall chimney connector with the male end down to prevent
creosote leakage. Follow double wall chimney connector manufacturer’s
instructions regarding proper pipe installation.
NOTE: Do not install the chimney directly at the outlet of the appliance. A
chimney connector (flue pipe) is required unless the appliance is specifically
approved for that type of installation.
INSTALLATION
Additional Venting Information · Do not mix and match components from
different pipe manufacturers when assembling your venting system (i.e. Do NOT
use venting pipe from one manufacturer and a thimble from another).
· We require a minimum chimney height of 15.0 ft. Chimney systems shorter than
this may not create the amount of draft which is required to operate this wood
burning unit.
· Do not use makeshift compromises when installing the venting system; have
existing chimney systems inspected before use and be certain all new chimney
systems are installed to the manufacturer’s specifications and with only UL
listed components (ULC if Canada).
· Prefabricated venting systems used for this stove must be listed to CAN/ULC
S629 (Canada) and UL 103HT (US).
· Never install a draft inducer or any other system which increases the
natural draft of the chimney; similarly, do not install a barometric or
stovepipe damper with this unit.
· Never use single wall or double chimney connector as a chimney system; never
pass either type of chimney connector through a combustible wall without
carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions and those listed in the
following page on Wall PassThroughs. NEVER pass chimney connector through an
attic, floor, closet or roof.
· Only use 24 gauge MSG black single wall chimney connector or UL Listed (ULC
if Canada) double wall chimney connector.
Single Wall Chimney Connector Installation
The male end of single wall chimney connector is installed facing down so that any liquid creosote in the flue will run into the unit instead of onto the outside of the pipe (the natural draft in the chimney system will prevent smoke leakage at the joints).
Flue Gas Direction
Crimped or male end of single wall chimney connector must face down.
Fasten each single wall chimney connector joint with three sheet metal screws.
WARNING
· INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER. · HOT! Do not
touch! Severe burns or clothing ignition may result. · Glass and other
surfaces are hot during operation.

sectional area will result in decreased draft and the potential for poor unit
performance.
· Use three sheet metal screws at each single wall chimney connector joint
(check manufacturer’s recommendations when double wall chimney connector is
used).
· Drill three holes in the flue collar of the unit and attach the chimney
connector to the unit using sheet metal screws (holes should be pre-drilled in
flue collar from factory).
· Avoid numerous elbows and excessive horizontal runs as both will lead to
poor draft and increased creosote accumulation. Horizontal runs of chimney
connector must never exceed 4.0 ft. and the overall length of the chimney
connector must not exceed 8.0 ft. with single wall black connector pipe. If
necessary to run longer than 8.0 ft. of chimney connector pipe, double wall
black chimney connector pipe must be used.
· A tight seal at the thimble is crucial for proper unit performance and to
create a safe installation. Use the proper adapter designed for connecting
single or double wall chimney connector to a masonry thimble.
· Have existing masonry chimneys inspected for safety and proper clearances to
combustibles before putting them into service; a qualified chimney sweep can
perform this inspection.
· External masonry chimneys often suffer cold downdrafts and poor draft
performance even when they meet the cross-sectional area rules. In this case,
a 6.0″ insulated liner may be necessary.
Please Note: Installation diagrams are for reference purposes only and are not drawn to scale, nor meant to be used as plans for each individual installation. Please follow all venting system requirements, maintain the required clearances to combustibles, and follow all local codes.

FLOOR PROTECTION
· This wood stove requires a U.L. listed (ULC if Canada) floor protector with
a R factor of no less than 1.0, if the stove is to be installed on a
combustible floor. If the floor the stove is to be installed on is already
non-combustible (i.e. a concrete floor in a basement), no floor protection is
needed (although a decorative floor protector can still be used for aesthetic
reasons).
· When using any floor protector, consider that this stove is not only heavy
but will induce heating and cooling cycles on the floor protector which can
damage tile and loosen mortar and grout joints located near the stove.
· The floor protector should be UL rated and listed, or equivalent (ULC if
Canada1) and must be noncombustible. A hearth rug is NOT an approved
substitute for a proper hearth pad.
· For the US: The floor protector must extend at least 16 in. from the front

OPERATION
Break-In Fires
· This wood burning unit is constructed of heavy gauge steel and cast iron and
is built to last a long time. However, in order to ensure no excessive thermal
stresses are induced on the metal during the first fire, three break-in fires
should be burned, each one slightly hotter than the last. These break-in fires
will not only help the stove body acclimate to the high temperatures of the
fire, but will also slowly cure the high temperature stove paint, which will
ensure the high quality finish lasts for years. x WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND burning
your break-in fires outdoors, as the paint and manufacturing oils will `burn
off’ the stove exterior somewhat during this time. If you do burn them indoors
with your flue system, open doors and windows to ventilate.
· This stove has a single air control rod which regulates the wood burn rate;
when the primary air control slide is pushed all the way into the unit, the
stove will burn more slowly and put out heat over a longer time period.
Conversely, when the air control slide is pulled all the way out, the unit
will burn more quickly and put out a larger amount of heat over a relatively
shorter time period. Do not attempt to modify the range of air control
adjustment for any reason.
· The first break-in fire should be just a large kindling fire, getting the
stove to about 300°F. Once this temperature has been reached, allow the fire
to die out with the air control open. The second and third break-in fires
should be a bit larger, with some small dry splits added to the kindling load.
The temperature goal during these fires is about 350°F 450°F; don’t let the
fire get hotter than that.
Creosote Formation and Need for 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 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. The chimney and chimney connector 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, it
should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire.
DO NOT USE GRATE OR ELEVATE FIRE BUILD WOOD FIRE DIRECTLY ON HEARTH DO NOT
OPERATE WITH THE MAIN DOOR OPEN OPERATING THE STOVE WITH THE MAIN
DOOR OPEN WILL CREATE AN OVER-FIRE
In the event of a creosote or soot fire (chimney fire), close the air control
on the stove, contact the local fire department and get out! Do not throw
water on the fire! Contact
your local fire authority for more information on how to handle a chimney fire
and P develop a safe evacuation plan for you and your family in the event of a
chimney fire.
OPERATION
Continuous Operation Daily Operation after your Break-In Fires Start-up –
Load the firebox with 6-9 lb of startup wood, split to moderate (1/4 to ½ lb)
size. – On top of the startup wood, add 3-5 lb of dry kindling. – Start-up:
Ignite the kindling until an aggressive flame is established and reaches the
secondary tubes
at the top of the firebox. – Close the door and set air to maximum High Burn –
Load on to a coal bed with minimal large chunks of wood, if practical – Load
wood parallel to the sides of the firebox – Place wood pieces as far back in
the firebox as possible. – Avoid loading arrangements that result in tightly
packed wood pieces. Select orientations that result
in gaps between wood pieces and/or wood pieces sitting higher in the firebox.
– Any bark should face up to facilitate quick ignition – Once visible flame
reaches the secondary tubes, close the door and set air to maximum Low and
Medium Burn – Allow the stove to burn at its intended Medium or Low setting
for at least 15 minutes prior to loading.
This can be done by burning on High until down to the top of the coal bed
range, then setting the air and allowing 15 minutes to elapse. – Leave the
door closed for the 15-minute period rake the coal bed prior. – As with the
high burn:
o Load wood parallel to the sides of the firebox o Place wood pieces as far
back in the firebox as possible. o Avoid loading arrangements that result in
tightly packed wood pieces. Select orientations that
result in gaps between wood pieces and/or wood pieces sitting higher in the
firebox. o Any bark should face up to facilitate quick ignition o Once visible
flame reaches the secondary tubes, close the door and set air to maximum
– When visible secondary combustion is established (the flames are `rolling’
up near the tubes), begin
to slowly reduce the air setting over at least 5 minutes. Ensure that
secondary combustion is maintained as air is reduced.
DO NOT STORE FUEL CLOSER THAN SPECIFIED CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES OR WITHIN
THE SPACE NEEDED FOR LOADING THE STOVE AND FOR ASH REMOVAL.
OPERATION
Additional Safety Guidelines
· The installation of smoke detectors is highly recommended when installing
this or any other solid fuel burning appliance. Smoke detectors should be
located near or in every room of the home, particularly sleeping rooms.
· A smoke detector can be installed in the same room as this cordwood burning
unit; installing the smoke detector too close to the unit can lead to nuisance
alarms due to slight wisps of smoke emitted during the fire starting or
reloading process. Due to this, the smoke detector in the same room as the
unit will be most useful if it is located as far from the unit as the room
will permit.
· This stove is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and
lower emissions generally result when burning air dried, seasoned hardwoods,
as compared to soft woods or to green or freshly-cut hardwoods. DO NOT BURN
garbage, lawn clippings or yard waste, materials containing rubber, including
tires; Materials containing plastic: Waster petroleum products, paints or
paint thinners, or asphalt products; Materials containing asbestos;
Construction or demolition debris; Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
Manure or animal remains; Salt water driftwood or previously salt water
saturated materials; Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard. The
prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the 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 release of toxic fumes or render the heater
ineffective and cause smoke.
· Burning fuels other than cordwood, particularly coal and charcoal, can
result in hazardous concentrations of carbon monoxide being emitted into the
dwelling. For these reasons, NEVER burn coal or charcoal in this cordwood
stove. Installing a carbon monoxide detector and being aware of the symptoms
of carbon monoxide poisoning can help reduce the risk of carbon monoxide
related issues.
· This unit was designed for operation only with the loading door closed and
tightly latched. Operating this unit with the loading door latched loosely or
open will allow excessive combustion air to reach the fire and will result in
dangerously high unit temperatures. High unit temperatures can damage the
unit, void the warranty or ignite creosote deposited in the chimney system by
previous, slow burning fires.
· The natural draft that pulls air through this unit and allows the fire to
burn uses the indoor air of the dwelling for combustion, unless the unit is
connected to an outside combustion air source. Kitchen range vent hoods,
furnaces and other air movement appliances in the home are often also removing
air from the dwelling; if the amount of air filtration or leakage back into
the home is exceeded by the air being removed, negative pressure may be
created in the home.
· Since this is a natural draft appliance, it will often be the first
appliance to have problems related to negative pressure. If smoke is forced
out the chimney connector joints or out of the air induction system of the
unit, the unit is likely fighting negative pressure in the dwelling. Cracking
a window or door near the appliance can help equalize the negative pressure;
ultimately, an unrestricted source of outside combustion may be necessary for
proper unit function.
· If the unit is connected to outside air, be certain to monitor the exterior
inlet to the combustion system for icing or snow accumulation. Allowing the
outside air connection to become restricted will result in air starvation to
the unit.
Safe Wood-Burning Practices
Once your wood-burning appliance is properly installed, follow these
guidelines for safe operation:
x Keep all flammable househould items-drapes, furniture, newspapers, and
books-far away from the appliance.
Start fires only with newspaper, dry kindling and all natural or organic fire
starters. Never start a fire with gasoline, kerosene, or charcoal starter.
Do not burn wet or green (unseasoned) logs.
Do not use logs made from wax and sawdust in your wood stove-they are made for
open hearth fireplaces. If you use manufactured logs, choose from those made
from 100 percent compressed saw dust.
Build hot fires. For most appliances, a smoldering fire is not a safe or
efficient fire.
Keep the doors to your wood-burning appliance closed unless loading or stoking
the live fire. Harmful chemicals, like carbon monoxide, can be released into
your home.
Regularly remove ashes from your wood-burning appliance into a metal container
with a cover. Store the container of ashes outdoors on a cement or brick slab
(not on a wood deck or near wood). See ash removal instructions in your
owner’s manual. Keep a fire extinguisher handy. Remember to check your local
air quality forecast before you burn.
MAINTENANCE
Daily Maintenance · Inspect the firebox for ash accumulation; remove excess
ash and follow instructions below regarding disposal. Ash should not be
allowed to excessively accumulate in the stove.
Monthly Maintenance · Check the door handle for proper operation and to be
certain an airtight seal is still being made by the door. · Inspect the
chimney system and chimney connector and sweep if necessary. Although cleaning
may be required less than monthly, ALWAYS inspect the venting system monthly
to decrease the chance of a chimney fire. · Visually inspect the ceramic fiber
insulating boards in the firebox for cracks and/or breakage. Slight surface
cracks will not affect the performance of the boards, but cracked or crumbling
boards should be replaced immediately. · Visually inspect the secondary
combustion tubes for cracks, warping and corrosion. Although these tubes are
constructed from stainless steel, they operate at very high temperatures and
can eventually wear out from normal use.
Yearly Maintenance · Check all gaskets (window and door) for wear and to be
certain they still maintain an airtight seal. See the following page for
instructions. · Thoroughly clean the chimney system and the chimney connector
system. Since the chimney connector is generally exposed to high exhaust
temperatures, inspect it carefully for leaks and weak spots; replace any
questionable pieces. [In the case of straight through the roof chimney system,
be certain to remove the ceramic fiber baffles before pushing the chimney
sweeping brush down into the firebox. Forcefully hitting the top of the baffle
with a cleaning brush or rod can damage or destroy the baffle.] · Remove all
ash from the stove, including the ash which accumulates on the top of the
firebox baffles. Leave the air control open during the non-heating months to
allow some air to flow through the stove to help prevent corrosion. A small
open container of cat litter in the stove can help prevent corrosion during
the humid summer months; be certain to remove it before building a fire in the
fall.
IMPROPER GASKET MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING FAILURE TO REPLACE GASKETS, CAN CAUSE
AIR LEAKS RESULTING IN AN UNCONTROLLABLE FIRE IN THE UNIT.
Disposal of Ashes Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in
soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container
until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
MAINTENANCE
Inspecting Gaskets An airtight seal at the door opening is crucial to proper
stove performance. Any air leakage
at this area can cause an over-fire situation and is therefore a serious
safety threat. Because of this, gaskets should always be maintained in good
condition. Gasket tightness can be checked using the “dollar-bill” method:
· Place a dollar bill between the gasket and the stove body (at the location
where the gasket meets the stove).
· Close and tighten the door then attempt to pull the dollar bill out. If the
dollar bill slides in and out easily, the gasket needs to be replaced. This
test should be repeated around the entire gasket perimeter, as gaskets will
sometimes seal tightly on one side, but will be worn and seal poorly on
another side.
· Perform this test around the entire perimeter of the door, and visually
inspect the window gasket for any leaks. Leaks in the window gasket can
generally be located by following the prevailing soot trails left on the
window after burning the unit.
· If any area fails the test, the entire gasket should be replaced.
· Gaskets should only be replaced with equivalent fiberglass gaskets purchased
from Englander specifically for this unit.
Gaskets
1. Door – This unit comes with a 5/8″ rope gasket around the door that should
be replaced at least every year. To replace the door gasket (Part # AC-DGKNC),
the old gasket must first be removed entirely — prior to adding the new
adhesive, you may have to scrape the old cement from the door channel. Once
the cement and gasket have been added, the door should be closed and latched
for twenty-four hours to allow the cement to harden.
2. Window – If you are replacing the window gasket (Part # AC-GGK), the new
gasket will already have adhesive on one side. First, remove the old gasket.
Next, remove the paper on the adhesive side and place the gasket around the
outside edge of the glass, centered over the edge. Fold the gasket edges over
on the glass, forming a “U” shape.
Finish
This new unit has been painted with High-Temperature Paint that should retain
its original look for years. If the unit should get wet and rust spots appear,
the spots can be sanded with fine steel wool and repainted. It is crucial that
only High-Temperature Spray Paint is used (Part # AC-MBSP), as others may not
adhere to the surface or withstand the high temperatures. Similarly, some
brands of paint will not adhere to different brands of paint, so we highly
recommend using our proprietary High-Temperature Spray Paint.
REPLACING COMPONENTS
Glass This unit has a ceramic glass panel (Part No. AC-G30) in the viewing
door; self adhesive
window gasket is included with replacement windows purchased directly from
Englander. Never replace ceramic glass with tempered or any other type of
glass and never operate this unit with cracked or broken glass.
· Glass Size: 11.25 in. (285.75 mm) x 15.125 in. (384.18 mm) · Glass Type: 5mm
Ceramic Glass (Keralite Pyroceram) · Glass Manufacturer: Eurokera
Glass Precautions 1. Never replace ceramic glass with tempered or any other
type of glass.
2. Never operate this unit with cracked or broken glass. 3. Do not slam the
door or strike the glass with any objects. 4. Do not build the fire directly
against the glass. Glass Cleaning 1. Be certain the stove and the glass are
completely cool. 2. The build-up on the glass will generally be light and
water is normally sufficient to
remove the deposits. If stubborn soot persists, use a cleaner made
specifically for this purpose. Do not scrape the glass or use abrasive
cleaners. 3. Rinse the glass with clean water and dry the glass before
resuming normal operation. Glass Replacement 1. Remove the door from the stove
and rest it face down on a firm work surface. 2. Using a 5/16″ wrench, remove
the window bracket retaining screws. 3. Remove the window retainers from the
door. Take extra care to avoid shards of glass if the glass window has been
broken.
4. Lift the old glass panel out of the door and discard. 5. The glass panel
must be wrapped with a self-adhesive fiberglass tape gasket (AC-GGK).
If you purchased a new glass, it will come already wrapped. If reusing the
same piece of glass, remove old gasket, scrape off old adhesive and wrapped
with the AC-GGK. This gasket serves to cushion the glass from the cast iron
door. 6. Reinstall the window retainers using the screws previously removed.
Do not over-tighten the screws.
REPLACING COMPONENTS
Burner tube replacement There are five different burner tubes in the top of
the stove. To replace a tube, first be sure that you order the correct tube
you need to replace. Then using a 5/16″ socket or open end wrench, remove the
screw located on the left side of the tube. Be sure to keep the screw. Push
the tube to the right then remove the tube (pulling the tube back to the left
after that side has been removed from the hole). To replace, reverse the above
procedure…make sure to install the tubes in the correct order. (Front to Back)

Additional information:
Venting Introduction:
Draft: Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the
chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the
chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much
draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the
catalytic combustor. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and
`plugging’ of the chimney. Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak
smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints. An
uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft. Please
be mindful of installation location: Inversion and other air quality issues
can arise in valleys or if unit is installed close to neighboring homes.
This wood stove operates on a natural draft system, in which the chimney
system pulls air through the stove. This unit must be installed in accordance
with the following detailed descriptions of venting techniques; not installing
the stove in accordance with the details listed here can result in poor stove
performance, property damage, bodily injury or death. Avoid make-shift
compromises when installing the venting system. Englander is not responsible
for any damage incurred due to a poor or unsafe installation.
Be certain that all aspects of the venting system are installed to the venting
manufacturer’s instructions, particularly the required clearances to
combustibles. Also, be certain to use an attic radiation shield to prevent
insulation from contacting a chimney which passes through an attic.
The chimney system is the “engine” which drives a wood stove, so it is
imperative for proper unit function that the venting system be installed
exactly as described in the following section.
If questions arise pertaining to the safe installation of the stove, our
Technical Support line (877-356-6663) is available. Contact your local code
official to be certain your installation
meets local and national fire codes, and if you’re uncertain about how to
safely install the stove, we strongly recommend contacting a local NFI
certified installer to perform the installation. Venting Guidelines:
ALWAYS install vent pipe in strict adherence to the instructions and
clearances included with your venting system.
· DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. · DO
NOT install a flue pipe damper
or any other restrictive device in the exhaust venting system of this unit. ·
USE an approved wall thimble when passing through a wall and a ceiling
support/fire stop
when passing through a ceiling. · INSTALL three sheet metal screws at every
chimney connector joint. · AVOID excessive horizontal runs and elbows, as both
will reduce the draft of the venting
system and will result in poor stove performance. · INSPECT your venting
system often, to be certain it is clear of creosote, fly-ash and other
restrictions. · CLEAN the venting system as detailed in the maintenance
section of this manual. · ADHERE to the 10-3-2 rule regarding chimney
terminations. · INSTALL single wall chimney connector with the male end down
to prevent creosote leakage. Follow double wall chimney connector
manufacturer’s instructions regarding proper pipe installation.
WARNING: Venting system surfaces get HOT, and can cause burns if touched.
Noncombustible shielding or guards may be required
The 10-3-2 Rule: The chimney system must terminate 3.0 ft above the point
where it’s centerline passes through the roof AND the chimney must terminate
2.0 ft. above part of the dwelling within a 10 ft. radius of the chimney.
– Operation and Maintenance Please refer to the Operation’ (Operating Instructions) and Maintenance (including Ash Removal/Disposal) sections of your owner’s manual and follow the guidelines listed therein for safety and for optimal emissions performance. Additional Information: Following the instructions in your owner’s manual for Building a Fire will ensure a proper fire, as well as helping minimize visible emissions. More: – Fuel loading and re-loading: Practical Tips for Building a Fire See your owner’s manual for information on loading (and re-loading) your fuel, as well as for fire-starting procedures (i.e.
Building a Fire’).
– Top-Down Fires: The US EPA recognizes the effectiveness of the top-down approach for starting fires.’ A good tutorial for this approach may be found at http://woodheat.org/topdown-steps.html . When building top-down fires, be sure to follow the instructions found in your owner’s manual and contact our Technical Support if you have any questions. – Fuel Selection: Once your wood-burning appliance is properly installed, building an effective fire requires good firewood (using the right wood in the right amount) and good fire building practices. The following practical steps will help you obtain the best efficiency from your wood stove or fireplace. x Season wood outdoors through the summer for at least 6 months before burning it. Properly seasoned wood is darker, has cracks in the end grain, and sounds hollow when smacked against another piece of wood. x Store wood outdoors, stacked neatly off the ground with the top covered. x Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood that has been split properly. x Start fires with newspaper and dry kindling as discussed earlier in the manual. x Burn hot fires. x To maintain proper airflow, regularly remove ashes from your wood- burning appliance into a metal container with a cover and store outdoors. Moisture Meter Information x Firewood is ready at 10-25% moisture content. x Newly-cut logs can have a moisture content (MC) of 80% or more, depending on species. Since wood shrinks, and can also split, twist or otherwise change shape as it dries, most wood is dried before being used. Air drying, or
seasoning,’ is
the most common method used for cord wood. In most parts of the United States,
the minimum moisture content that can be generally obtained in air drying is
about 12 to 15 percent. Most air-dried material is usually closer to 20
percent moisture content when used
x To test your firewood, simply push the pins into the wood and wait for a
reading. Remember, don’t just stick the meter into the ends of your firewood.
To get the most accurate reading, split the wood and test the center. The
center of the log will contain the most moisture.
How Far Should I Drive Non-Insulated Pins into Wood? x To full depth if
possible. However, at moisture levels below 10%, it is usually sufficient to
make good, positive contact with the wood. At higher levels of moisture and
especially if you have a steep gradient, full penetration is a must.
– WHAT FUELS NOT TO USE:
CAUTION
x NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER
FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP

– Safe Wood-burning Practices Once your wood-burning appliance is properly
installed, follow these guidelines for safe operation:
x Keep all flammable household items–drapes, furniture, newspapers, and
books–far away from the appliance.
x Start fires only with newspaper, dry kindling and all natural or organic
fire starters. Never start a fire with gasoline, kerosene, or charcoal
starter.
x Do not burn wet or green (unseasoned) logs.
x Do not use logs made from wax and sawdust in your wood stove they are made
for open hearth fireplaces. If you use manufactured logs, choose those made
from 100 percent compressed sawdust.
x Build hot fires. For most appliances, a smoldering fire is not a safe or
efficient fire. x Keep the doors of your wood-burning appliance closed unless
loading or stoking the live
fire. Harmful chemicals, like carbon monoxide, can be released into your home.
x Regularly remove ashes from your wood-burning appliance into a metal
container with a
cover. Store the container of ashes outdoors on a cement or brick slab (not on
a wood deck or near wood). See ash removal instructions in your owner’s
manual. x Keep a fire extinguisher handy. x Remember to check your local air
quality forecast before you burn.
– Air Controls: SEE YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL for information on the Proper Use of
Air Controls (in the Operation section).
– ASH REMOVAL Follow your Owner’s manual’s instructions regarding removal
and
disposal of ashes.
– REPLACEMENT of parts that are critical to emissions performance Follow
your Owner’s
manual’s instructions regarding replacement of gaskets and other parts that
are critical to
emissions performance.

More: Burner Tubes To replace a tube, first be sure that you order the
correct tube you need to
replace. Then using a 5/16″ socket or open end wrench, remove the screw
located on the left side
of the tube. Be sure to keep the screw. Push the tube to the right then remove
the tube (pulling
the tube back to the left after that side has been removed from the hole). To
replace, reverse the
above procedure…make sure to install the tubes in the correct order. (Front to
Back)
– Smoke Detectors Englander highly recommends the use of smoke detectors in
every room of the house. However,
locating a smoke detector directly above this unit can result in nuisance
alarms.
CAUTION
This unit is meant to operate only with door closed. Smoke spillage and an
inefficient, lazy burn will result from attempting to operate the stove with
the door open.
Additionally, using prohibited fuels can create an unsafe situation and can
also generate excess carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is an odorless,
colorless gas which can be deadly. The use of a carbon monoxide detector is
strongly recommended.
– Compliance: EPA Certified to comply with 2020 particulate emission standards
using cord wood.
– Tamper Warning: “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.”
– Installation Warning: “To be installed as a freestanding room heater with
the clearances in the manufacturer’s installation instructions. It is strictly
forbidden to install this room heater in any factory-built fireplace.”
