Block-Off Plate Installation

Whenever this appliance is installed with a direct connection a block-off plate, or other non-combustible seal-off device (e.g. damper adapter), will need to be installed. This device is used to seal the chimney, insuring no smoke enters the home and providing the chimney system with a seal to promote draft. The directions below detail the steps for construction and installation of a block-off plate.

• Determine a location for the block-off plate at the top of the firebox below the damper area (make it

high enough to allow installation of the connection pipe). The location should be level and in an area where it can be mounted easily. Measure the width at the rear ("A") and front ("B") of the firebox at the height where the block-off plate will be installed (see Figure 19). Then measure the depth of the location where the block-off plate will be installed ("C").

• Make a cardboard template of the measurements, but add a 2" flange to each side. This flange will

be used to mount the block-off plate to the inside of the firebox. Bend the flanges downwards on the template and place it inside the fireplace. If the template fits correctly in its planned location, go to the next step. If it does not, make a new template with the appropriate corrections until it fits correctly.

• With the template in place, mark the location of the flue (see “Dimensions” on page 6). This location

approximates the center of the flue when the insert is in place (a slight offset may occur based upon insert and block-off plate placement). Remove the template and cut a 6 1/4" diameter hole centered on this mark.

• Make the block-off plate of 24 gage or thicker steel to match the template. Drill two holes in each

flange for mounting the plate.

• Mount the block-off plate using masonry screws.

• Insulate the block-off plate using high-temperature fiberglass insulation (Kaowool® or equivalent) and

furnace cement (allow the cement to dry for at least 24 hours before burning).

• After placing the appliance and installing the pipe through the block-off plate, use high-temperature

fiberglass insulation and furnace cement to seal any cracks between the pipe and block-off plate.

determine the location of the

center of the flue.

Safety Notice

Read and follow all of the warnings on pages 4 and 5 of this manual.

Before Your First Fire

Verify the Installation Before starting the stove, verify that the stove is properly installed and all of the requirements in this

manual have been followed.

Keep all flammable materials 36" away from the front of the stove (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc.).

Curing the Paint

This heater uses a heat-activated paint that will emit some fumes while starting the first fire. Open doors and windows to the room to vent these fumes. This typically lasts two to four hours. You may also notice oil burning off of the interior of the heater. This rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate.

Door Gasket - The door gasket might adhere to the paint on the front of the heater. Leave the door slightly ajar for the first fire and be careful when

opening the door after the first fire.

2 to 4 hours

Over-Firing the Stove

This stove was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in vent configuration, fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If the stove top or other area starts to glow red, you are over-firing the stove. Shut the air control down to low and allow the stove to cool before proceeding.

Over-firing may lead to damage of plated surfaces. If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, we suggest placing a stove thermometer (e.g. Rutland® Model 710) directly over the door on the stove top temperatures exceeding 800° are generally considered over-firing and will void the warranty.

Opening the Door

Turn the handle clockwise to un-latch. Swing the door open.

The door becomes hot during use. Use a glove to open the door if the handle is hot.

To prevent smoke from entering the room, open the bypass before opening the door (see following page for directions). You can also open the door a small amount and let air enter the firebox.

26 Operating Your Appliance

Bypass Operation

The bypass controls the flow of smoke inside the heater. When pulled out, smoke goes directly up the flue, creating more draft. When pushed in, the smoke goes around the baffle, utilizing the secondary combustion and making the heater more efficient.

• When starting or re-loading, pull the bypass out.

• During normal operation, push the bypass in.

Operating Your Appliance 27

Starting a Fire

Since the dawn of time man has debated the best way to start a fire. Some use the boy-scout "tee-pee", some prefer the "tic-tac-toe" stack. Either way, review the hints and warnings below to ensure proper fire starting.

• Make sure the air control is pushed in. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4" during the first

five minutes of start-up. The bypass may be opened if the heater needs more draft.

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.

If using a firestarter, use only products specifically designed for stoves - follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of newspaper, place it in the center of the firebox and light it. This should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air blockage").

Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a proper temperature. Once the kindling is burning rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire.

28 Operating Your Appliance

Adjusting the Burn Rate

Use the air control slider to control the burn rate of the stove. See the illustration below for details.

Use the air control to change the burn rate.

Low Burn

(air control closed)

High Burn

(air control open)

Approximate Air Control Settings

Overnight Burn Fully out to 9/32" open

Medium Burn 9/32" to 5/16" open

Medium High Burn 5/16" to 7/16" open

High Burn 7/16" open to pushed fully in

The air control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.

The air control may take several minutes to influence the burn rate. When making adjustments, you may wish to let the stove burn for 10 minutes to gauge performance.

Ash Removal

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, away from all combustible

ASHES

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 thoroughly cooled.

Re-Loading the Stove

Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the stove.

1. Open the air control all the way (push it in). Open the bypass (pull it out).

2. Open the door slightly. Let the airflow inside the firebox to stabilize before opening the door fully.

3. Load wood onto the fire.

Overnight Burn

LOW

OFF

BLOWER CONTROL

This stove is large enough to accommodate burn times up to eight hours. Follow the steps below to achieve an overnight burn.

1. Move the air control to high burn and let the stove become hot (burn for approximately 15 minutes).

2. Load as much wood as possible. Use large pieces if possible.

3. Let the stove burn on high for 15 minutes to keep the stove hot, then turn the air control to low.

4. In the morning the stove should still be hot, with embers in the coal bed. Stir the coals and load small pieces of wood to re-ignite the fire, if desired.

Differences if chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.

Normal Operating Sounds

Creaks and Clicks: The 3/16" and 1/4" steel may creak or click when the stove heats up and cools down - this is normal.

Blower Sounds: The blower will make a slight "humm" as it pushes air through the stove.

Hint:

Make sure the leveling bolts on legs are extended preventing the hearth from amplifying any vibrations.

30 Operating Your Appliance

Hints for Burning

• Get the appliance hot before adjusting to low burn

• Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and high burns to increase temperature

• Use larger pieces of wood for overnight or sustained burns

• Stack the wood tightly together to establish a longer burn

• Leave a bed of ashes (1/2" deep) to allow for longer burns

• Be considerate of neighbors & the environment: burn dry wood only

• Burn small, intense fires instead of large, slow burning fires when possible

• Learn your appliance's operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance

Selecting Wood

• Dry Wood is Key

• Dry wood burns hot, emits less

smoke and creates less creosote.

Wet Wood

Leads To

Dry Wood

• Testing Wood Moisture

• Split wood stored in a dry area will

be fully dry within a year. This insures dry wood. If purchasing wood for immediate use, test the wood with a moisture meter. Some

Less Heat

More Heat

Leads To

experienced wood burners can measure wood moisture by knocking pieces together and listening for a clear "knock" and not a "thud".

More Smoke and Creostoe

Less Smoke and Creostoe

Why Dry Wood is Key

Wet wood, when burned, must release water stored within the wood. This cools the fire, creates creosote, and hampers a complete burn. Ask any experienced wood burner and he or she will agree: dry wood is crucial to good performance.

Wood Cutting and Storage

Leads To

Cut wood to length and chop into quarters.

Store the wood off the ground in a covered area. Allow for airflow around the wood to dry the wood.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause

Smoke Enters Room During Start-Up

Kindling Does Not Start - Fire Smolders

Smoke Enters Room While ReLoading

• Open the bypass (pg. 26).

• Open the air control (pg. 28).

• Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper to

establish a draft.

• If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack in

the door is all that is needed.

• Open the bypass (pg. 26).

• Open the air control (pg. 28).

• Not enough starter paper - use additional newspaper if

necessary.

• If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack in

the door is all that is needed.

• Open the bypass (pg. 26) before opening the door.

• Let the air stabilize before fully opening the door. Then

open the door approximately 1 inch. Let air go into the firebox for a few seconds. Once the smoke appears to be flowing up the chimney consistently, open the door.

• Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside

conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases a small amount of smoke may enter the home. Adding more pipe or a draft-inducing cap may help.

Stove Does Not Burn Hot Enough

Blower Does Not Run

Stove Does Not Burn Long Enough

• Wood is Wet - see the section "Selecting Wood" on

page 30 for details on wood.

• Make sure the air control is all the way open. Slide the

control back and forth to insure the control is not stuck.

• Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside

conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases the fire may burn slowly. Adding more pipe or a draftinducing cap may help.

• Stove is Not Up to Temperature - This is normal. The

blower will come on when the stove is hot - usually 15 to 30 minutes.

• Electricity is Cut to the Blower - Check the household

breaker or fuse to make sure it is operable.

• Depending upon wood, draft, and other factors, the

burn time may be shorter then stated. Make sure the doors are sealing and not allowing air into the firebox See the section "Door and Glass Inspection" on page 33 for details.

• Check the ash bed for coals. Often, coals are still

glowing under a slight bed of flyash. By raking these into a pile you can re-start your stove quickly.

32 Maintaining Your Appliance

Failure to properly maintain and inspect your appliance may reduce the performance and life of the appliance, void your warranty, and create a fire hazard.

Daily Maintenance (while stove is in use)

Remove Ash (if necessary)

• Ash removal is not required once it builds up. 1/2" to 1" of ash may be desirable because it slows the

burn rate. Generally, remove ash once it has built up over 1". Follow the directions below to remove ash.

• Let the stove cool completely (at least two hours after the last coal has extinguished).

• Place a cloth or cardboard protector over the hearth to catch ash and protect against

scratching.

• Open the doors and scoop the ash into a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The

closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

Improperly disposed ashes lead to fires. Hot ashes placed in cardboard boxes, dumped in back yards, or stored in garages, are recipes for disaster.

Wood-burning stoves are inherently dirty. During cleaning have a vacuum ready to catch spilled ash (make sure ash is entirely extinguished).

There are vacuum cleaners specifically made to remove ash (even if the ash is warm). Contact your dealer for details.

ASHES

Clean the Glass (if necessary)

This appliance has an airwash to keep the glass clean. However, burning un-seasoned wood or burning on lower burn rates leads to dirtier glass (especially on the sides). Clean the glass by following the directions below.

Allow the stove to fully cool. Apply glass cleaner or soapy water to the inside of the glass. Wipe with newspaper or a paper towel.

For Stubborn Creosote:

Dip newspaper or a paper towel in cool ashes and wipe it on the glass. The ash acts as a light abrasive.

The glass will develop a very slight haze over time. This is normal and will not affect viewing of the fire.

Maintaining Your Appliance 33

Monthly Maintenance (while appliance is in use)

Make sure the appliance has fully cooled prior to conducting service.

Door and Glass Inspection

The door must form an air-tight seal to the firebox for the stove to work correctly. Inspect the door gasket to make sure it forms an air-tight seal to the firebox.

The door can be lifted off the hinges if extensive repairs are conducted.

High-Temperature anti-sieze may be used on the door hinges to eliminate squeaks.

If the glass is damaged, replace it - see “Replacement Parts” for details.

Use wood stove gasket cement to re-adhere loose gasket.

Severely frayed or thread-bare gasket should be replaced.

The door latch should pull the door against the face of the stove (but not so tight as to not allow full handle rotation). If the latch requires adjustment, follow the directions below.

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 slowburning 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 a chimney fire.

If you are not certain of creosote inspection, contact your dealer or local chimney sweep for a full inspection. Excess creosote buildup may cause a chimney fire, that may result in property damage, injury, or death.

34 Maintaining Your Appliance

Yearly Maintenance

Make sure the appliance has fully cooled prior to conducting service.

Touch Up Paint

Included with the owner's pack of this appliance is a can of Stove-Brite® paint. To touch up nicks or dulled paint, apply the paint while the appliance is cool. Sand rusted or damaged areas before preparation (use 120 grit sandpaper). Clean and dry the area to prepare the surface. Wait at least one hour before starting the appliance. The touched up area will appear darker than the surrounding paint until it cures from heat. Curing will give off some fumes while curing – open windows to ventilate.

Cleaning the Air Duct and Blower (if applicable)

Use a vacuum to clean the air ducts (channels). This prevents dust from burning and creating odors.

The optional blower should be vacuumed every year to remove any buildup of dust, lint, etc.

Touch-Up

Paint

BOTTOM OF

STOVE

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any buildup on the screens of the blower.

Firebrick and Baffle Inspection

Use the illustration on page 36 as a reference for checking the following items. Make sure the appliance is cool before proceeding.

Baffle Firebricks - check the bricks along the ceiling of the firebox to make sure they are intact and have no gaps between them. Slide the bricks to eliminate any gaps.

Baffle Supports - make sure the front and back baffle supports in are place and not degraded. Slight scaling or rusting of the metal is normal.

Secondary Air Tubes - Check the two air tubes and collars to make sure they are intact and not severely deteriorated. Slight scaling or rusting of the metal is normal. Make sure the push pins hold the air tubes

in place.

Floor and Wall Firebricks - replace any severely damaged firebrick along the side or floor of the firebox.

Replacing the Glass

The glass must not contact the door shell or glass clips directly. The glass gasket and glass clip gaskets insulate the glass to prevent cracking. Do not over-tighten the glass clips.

Remove the door and place it on a suitable work surface. Remove the door gasket. Remove the glass clips (the glass clip gaskets adhere to the glass clips). Remove the glass. Place the glass gasket in the inner channel of the door shell then place the glass on top of the gasket. Replace the clips to secure.

Replacing the Door Gasket

The door gasket inserts into the outer groove of the door shell. Stove gasket cement holds it in place. Before installing, remove any residual cement. Lay the gasket in place (start at the lower left corner) and cut off any excess gasket (do not stretch the gasket. The cement fully cures with heat from the stove. You may need to open and close the door repeatedly to get the gasket to seat fully.
