TIPS ON WOOD HEATING

Wood is a renewable energy. It is also a very clean heat source when used with appliances that are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a standard accepted in Canada as well.

EPA-certified wood stoves are different than conventional wood stoves. Burning with an EPA-certified wood stove may therefore require that you modify some of your heating habits. To get the most satisfaction out of your new wood-heating system, please make sure you go through the following check list.

 The chimney is the engine that drives the wood-heating system. Use a chimney that

is UL-listed, with an inner diameter to match the stove’s outlet collar (6” for all Drolet wood stoves);

 Try to run the chimney inside the building for as much length as you can. A tall and

warm chimney will produce a good draft;

 Try to install your chimney straight up and avoid 90 degree turns in the flue pipe

and offsets in the chimney;

 Make sure that the chimney is tall enough and its top is clear of obstacles so it can

produce a stable draft;

 Use a chimney thermometer installed at a distance of approximately 18 inches on

the flue pipe above the stove. Flue gases should reach at least 350oF before you close the stove’s primary air intake completely. Operate your unit within the comfort zone indicated on the thermometer;

 To reduce the risk of smoke spillage into the room upon reloading your stove, leave

the primary air intake completely open for a few minutes. This will heat up the chimney and build up draft before you open the stove door;

 Maximize hot air circulation! Our wood stoves are designed to easily receive a

variable speed blower that will improve heat distribution in front of the stove;

 Remember that wood stoves produce radiant heat. Since heat rises, the use of floor

traps will greatly improve the heat transfer to rooms upstairs;

 Use a mobile home approved stove if you are going to install your wood-heating

system in a mobile home. A fresh air kit must be connected to the stove. Never install your wood stove in a bedroom;

 Burn only dry cordwood;  Make sure you have a good bed of red coals before you load your stove with logs

exceeding 3 inches in diameter;

 Read and keep you owner’s manual. It will provide you with tips on how to run a

successful wood-heating system.

ASSEMBLY

PEDESTAL AND PANELS

Pedestal Base Installation:

1. Slide the front part of the pedestal base around the pedestal and fix the rear part with the two supplied screws.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT

In order for your stove to operate properly, the door should be adjusted periodically to provide an air tight fit. To adjust:

• Remove the lock pin (spring pin) by pulling and turning it using pliers ("wise grip")

• Turn the handle counter clock wise one turn to increase pressure

• Re-install the lock pin (spring pin) with a small hammer

THE BENEFITS OF INSTALLING A BLOWER

A blower can be installed at the back of your DROLET stove. This option is necessary if you wish to redistribute into a room the heat trapped at the back of your stove. By forcing hot air toward the front, the blower enables you to extend the radiation power of your stove. You can purchase this option through your DROLET dealer. Make sure to specify this part number: #AC02050. You can also install a thermodisc to enable the blower to start or stop automatically when the stove is hot or too cold. The thermodisc part number is AC05530. Installation instructions are supplied with the blower and the thermodisc.
