2.4 Zone Heating and How to Make it Work for You
This stove 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 stove. Whole house zone heating works best when the stove 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 stove 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.
ENGLISH
Although the stove 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 stove, the size, layout and age of your home and your climate zone. Three-season vacation homes can usually be heated with smaller stoves than houses that are heated all winter.
2.5 The Benefits of Low Emissions and High Efficiency
The low smoke emissions produced by the special features inside this stove firebox mean that the household will release up to 90% less smoke into the outside environment than if an older conventional stove 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 stove 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 stove can only work properly if the fuel used is in the correct moisture content range of 15% to 20%. See section «3. Fuel» of this manual for suggestions on preparing fuelwood and judging its moisture.
The SBI Commitment to You and the EnvironmentThe SBI team is committed to protecting the environment, so we do everything we can to use only materials in our products that will have no lasting negative impact on the environment.
2.5.1 What is This Stove Made Of?
The body of this stove, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel. Should it ever become necessary many years in the future, almost the entire stove can be recycled into new products, thus eliminating the need to mine new materials.
Page 12
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
The paint coating on the stove 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.
The air tubes are stainless steel, which can also be recycled.
The C-Cast baffle is made of aluminosilicate fibre material that is compressed with a binder to form a rigid board. C-Cast can withstand temperatures above 2,000 °F. It is not considered hazardous waste. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.
The firebrick is 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 landfill is recommended.
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 landfill is recommended.
The door glass is a 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 your regular household products. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.

3.1 How to Prepare or Buy Good Firewood
3.1.1 What is Good Firewood?
Good firewood has been cut to the correct length for the stove, split to a range of sizes and stacked in the open until its moisture content is down to 15% to 20%.
3.1.2 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. People who live in the coldest regions of North America usually have only spruce, birch and poplar, other low-density species to burn and yet they can heat their homes successfully.
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
Page 13
Homeowners with access to both hardwood and softwood sometimes use both types for different purposes. For example, 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. 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.
Note that 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 stoves wouldn’t hold a fire overnight unless they were fed large pieces of hardwood. That is no longer true. It is possible to successfully heat a home by using the less desirable tree species and give the forest a break at the same time.
3.1.3 Log Length
Logs should be cut at least 1" (25 mm) shorter than the firebox so they fit
ENGLISH
in easily. Pieces that are even slightly too long makes loading the stove very difficult. The most common standard length of firewood is 16" (400 mm).
The pieces should be a consistent length, with a maximum of 1" (25 mm) variation from piece to piece.
3.1.4 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. Logs as small as 3" (75 mm) should be split to encourage drying.
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. Often, the firewood purchased from commercial suppliers is not split small enough to fuel the fire. It is sometimes advisable to resplit the wood before stacking to air dry.
3.1.5 How to Dry Firewood
Firewood that is not dry enough to burn is the cause of most complaints about wood stoves. Continually burning green or unseasoned wood produces more creosote and involves lack of heat and dirty glass door.
Page 14
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
Here are some things to consider in estimating drying time:
− Firewood takes a long time to dry;
− 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 damp, maritime climates;
− Drying happens faster in warm summer weather than in winter weather;
− Small pieces dry more quickly than large pieces;
− Split pieces dry more quickly than unsplit rounds;
− Softwoods take less time to dry than hardwoods;
− Softwoods like pine, spruce, poplar, and aspen 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;
ENGLISH
− 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 that is ready to burn has a moisture content between 15% and 20% and will allow the stove to produce its highest possible efficiency.
3.1.6 Judging Firewood Moisture Content
Use these guidelines to find out if the firewood is dry enough to burn:
− Cracks form at the ends of logs as they dry,
− As it dries in the sun, the wood turns from white or cream colored to grey or yellow,
− Bang two pieces of wood together; seasoned wood sounds hollow and wet wood sounds dull,
− Dry wood is much lighter in weight than wet wood,
− Split a piece, and if the fresh face feels warm and dry it is dry enough to burn; if it feels damp, it is too wet,
− Burn a piece; wet wood hisses and sizzles in the fire and dry wood does not.
A wood moisture meter can be bought to test the firewood.
3.1.7 Manufactured Logs
Do not burn manufactured logs made of wax impregnated sawdust or logs with any chemical additives. Manufactured logs made of 100% compressed sawdust can be burned with caution in the number of these logs burned at once. Start with one manufactured log and see how the stove reacts. Never use more than two manufactured logs.

4.1 Before Operating Your Stove
Before using the stove, the following items should be installed :
• The door overlay (see «Appendix 1. Door Overlay Installation», page 43 ),
• The optional fresh air intake kit (see «Appendix 2. Optional Fresh Air Intake Kit Installation», page 44
• The optional blower (See «Appendix 3. Optional Blower and Thermodisc Installation», page 45)
• The optional refractory slabs (See «Appendix 4. Optional Refractory Panels Installation», page 46«) .
4.2 Blower Operation
ENGLISH
optional and is sold separatly. See «Appendix 6. Exploded
Diagram and Parts List» for genuine part number.
The blower is installed on the back of the stove to increase airflow through the heat exchanger 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 stove that is undersized for the space it is intended to heat.
Ensure the blower cord is not in contact with any surface of the stove to prevent electrical shock or fire damage. Do not run cord beneath the stove.
It is possible to install a blower on this stove. The blower is
Figure 7: Air flow with a blower
The blower has a rheostat that can be adjusted in three different positions; either from high (HI) to low (LO) or closed (OFF).
Allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour) before turning on the blower, since increased airflow from the blower will remove heat and affect the start up combustion efficiency.
The blower is also equipped with a heat sensor. When the blower is ON, it will start automatically when the stove is hot enough and it will stop when the stove has cooled down. Therefore, the blower speed control can be left at the desired setting.
4.3 The First Fires
Two things will happen when burning the first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components of the stove are conditioned.
Page 16
OFF
Figure 8: Blower rheostat
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they do smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also cause false alarms in smoke detectors.
So, when lighting the stove, be prepared by opening doors or windows to ventilate the house. Burn one or two small fires to begin the curing and conditioning process. Then build bigger and hotter fires until there is no longer paint smell from the stove.
As hotter and hotter fires are burnt, 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 burnt.
4.4 Lighting Fires
Each person heating with wood develops its own favourite way to light fires. Whichever method is chosen, the goal should be to get a hot fire burning, quickly. A fire that ignites fast produces less smoke and deposits less creosote in the chimney. Here are three popular and effective ways to ignite wood fires.
4.4.1 Conventional Method
The conventional method to build a wood fire is to bunch up 5 to 10 sheets of newspaper and place them in the firebox. Next, a dozen pieces of fine kindling are placed on the newspaper. This kindling should be very thin; less than 1 inch thick (25 mm). Then, larger kindling pieces are placed on the fine kindling. The air control fully open, the newspaper is lit. With a tall and straight venting system the door can be closed immediately and the fire will ignite. 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 until the fire is the right size for the weather.
ENGLISH
DO NOT LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPENED. ALWAYS CLOSE AND LATCH THE DOOR AFTER THE FIRE IGNITES.
4.4.2 The Top Down Method
The top down method solves two problems encountered when using the conventional method: first, the fire does not collapse on itself and smother as it burns; and second, it is not necessary to build up the fire gradually since the firebox is loaded before the fire is lit. A top down fire can burn for two hours or more. The top down method works properly only if well-seasoned wood is used.
Three or four full-sized split pieces of dry firewood are placed in the firebox. Then, 4 or 5 more finely split pieces of firewood (2" to 3" [50 mm to 75 mm] in diameter) are placed on the top of the logs at right angles (log cabin style). Next, a dozen finely split kindling are placed on the second layer at right angles.
The fire is topped with 5 sheets of newspaper, stuffed in between the kindling, under the baffle. Knots can be made in the newspaper by rolling up single sheets corner to corner and tying a knot in them. The advantage of knots is that they don’t roll off the fire as they burn. Newspaper is lit and the fire burns from top to bottom.
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
Page 17
4.4.3 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.
4.4.4 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.
DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, FUEL OIL, MOTOR OIL, OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.
ENGLISH
4.5 Maintaining Wood Fires
4.5.1 General Advice
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 stoves 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.
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 stove door does not need to be opened while the wood is flaming. This is an advantage since it is preventing smoke leaking from the stove 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 open while the fire is flaming, fully open air control for a few minutes then open the door slowly. (See section «4.5.5 Controlling the Air Intake»)
4.5.2 Ash Removal
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 stove.
Page 18
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
The best time to remove ash is in the morning, after an overnight fire when the stove is relatively cold, but there is still a little chimney draft to draw the ash dust into the stove 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 can contain hot embers that can stay hot for several days. 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.
NEVER STORE ASHES INDOORS OR IN A NON-METALLIC CONTAINER OR ON A WOODEN DECK.
4.5.3 Raking Charcoal
When the room temperature is cooler, it is time to reload the stove. Remove the ashes first, then rake charcoal towards the front of the firebox before reloading. Most of the remaining charcoal will be at the back of the firebox, furthest from the door. Rake the coals towards the door before loading.
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.
4.5.4 Firing Each New Load Hot
Place the new load of wood on and behind the charcoal. Close the door and open the air control fully until the firebox is full of flames, the wood has charred to black and its edges are glowing red. Firing each load of wood hot accomplishes the following things:
− Removes surface moisture from the wood,
− Creates a layer of char on the wood, which slows down the smoke release,
− Heats the firebox components so they reflect heat back to the fire, and
− Heats the chimney so it can produce strong, steady draft for the rest of the cycle.
Although it is important to fire each new load hot, do not allow the fire to burn at full intensity
for more than a few minutes.
THE STOVE SHOULD NOT BE LEFT UNATTENDED WHILE A NEW LOAD IS BEING FIRED HOT.
DO NOT OVERFIRE.
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
Page 19
When a new load of wood is ignited, there will be a surge of heat from the stove. This heat surge is welcome when the room temperature is a little lower than desirable, but not welcome if the space is already warm. Therefore, each load of wood should burn completely so that the space begins to cool off a little before loading. Letting the space cool before loading is one of the secrets to clean burning and effective zone heating.
4.5.5 Controlling the Air Intake
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 stove and flue pipe slows down, which increases the duration of the energy transfer of the exhaust gases. As the air intake
ENGLISH
is reduced, the flames slow 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.
Figure 9: Air Intake Control
4.6 Building Different Fires for Different Needs
Using the air intake control is not the only way to match the stove 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. Here are some suggestions for building fires suitable for different heating needs.
4.6.1 Small Fires to Take the Chill Off the House
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" to 4" 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.
4.6.2 Long Lasting Low 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.
Page 20
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
4.6.3 High Output Fires for Cold Weather
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 stove 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.
4.6.4 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 stove, including both phases, will vary depending on a number of things, such as:
ENGLISH
− firebox size,
− the amount of wood loaded,
− the species of wood,
− the size of the space to be heated,
− the climate zone where the house is, and
− the time of the year.
− the wood moisture content,
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 3 to 5 hours
1.5 c.f. to 2.0 c.f 5 to 6 hours
2.0 c.f. to 2.5 c.f. 6 to 8 hours
2.5 c.f. to 3.0 c.f. 8 to 9 hours
>3.0 c.f. 9 to 10 hours
A longer burning time is not necessarily an indication of efficient stove 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 stove to the heat demand for the space.
4.6.5 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. Maintaining Your Wood Heating System
5.1 Stove Maintenance
This stove will give many years of reliable service if used and maintained properly. Some of the internal components of the firebox, such as firebricks, baffle and air tubes, will wear over time under intense heat. Defective parts should always be replaced with original parts. See «Appendix
6. Exploded Diagram and Parts List». Firing each load hot to begin a cycle as described above
will not cause premature deterioration of the stove. However, letting the stove run with the air intake fully open for the entire burn cycles can cause damage over time. The hotter the stove becomes throughout burn cycles, the more quickly its components will deteriorate. For this reason, the stove should never be left unattended while a new load is being fired hot.
5.1.1 Cleaning Door Glass
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
ENGLISH
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 stove is cold by wiping with a damp cloth or paper towel and then drying.
Never try to clean the glass when the stove is hot.
In spring and fall when the stove runs at lower temperatures, 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 stove.
The goal should be 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.
These stains can be cleaned with a special wood stove glass cleaner. Do not use abrasives to clean the stove glass. When the weather is mild, it is often better to let the fire go out than trying to maintain a continuous fire. Use the technique described in section «4.6.1 Small Fires
to Take the Chill Off the House».
When brown streaks are coming from the edge of the glass, it is time to replace the gasket around the glass. The glass gasket should be self-adhesive. Follow the instructions in section
«5.1.4 Replacing the Glass or the Glass Gasket» for installation. Always replace gaskets with
genuine ones. See «Appendix 6. Exploded Diagram and Parts List».
Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut.
Do not use the stove if the glass is broken.
Page 22
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
5.1.2 Door Adjustment
In order for the stove 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 gasket seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment:
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.
ENGLISH
Figure 10: Removing the split pin Figure 11: Installing the split pin
5.1.3 Replacing the Door Gasket
It is important to maintain the gasket in good condition. After a year or more of use, the door gasket will compress and become hard, which may allow air to leak. The condition 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, it is time to replace the gasket.
Figure 12: Door gasket seal verification
It is important to replace the gasket with another having the same diameter and density to maintain a good seal.
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
Page 23
Remove the door and place it face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or a piece of carpet. Remove the old gasket 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 gasket groove. Apply a bead of approximately ¼" (6 mm) of high temperature silicone in the door gasket groove. Starting from the middle, hinges side, press the gasket into the groove. The gasket must not be stretched during installation. Leave about ½" long of gasket when cutting and press the end into the groove. Tuck any loose fibers under the gasket and into the silicone. Close the door. Do not use the stove for 24 hours.
5.1.4 Replacing the Glass or the Glass Gasket
To remove or replace the glass (D), remove the eight screws (A), the eight glass retainers (B), and the metal frames (C). Remove the glass. If it is damaged install a new one in place. The replacement glass must have a gasket all
ENGLISH
around (see procedure below). 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 over­tightening the retaining screws.
It is a good idea to replace the glass gasket when the door gasket is replaced. Follow the previous steps to remove the glass. Remove the old gasket and clean the glass thoroughly. The new gasket is flat, adhesive­backed, woven fibreglass. The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up. 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. Peel off more of the backing and rotate the glass. The gasket must not be stretched during installation. Cut the gasket to the required length. Pinch the gasket onto the glass in a U-shape, all around the glass.

5.1.5 Cleaning and Painting the Stove
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 stove with a heat-resistant paint. Do not clean or paint the stove 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. For best results, use the original paint, available in aerosol cans.
Page 24
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
5.1.6 Firebricks
Before installing the firebrick, ensure that none are broken or damaged in any way, and replace the damaged ones. Check the firebrick for damage at least annually and replace any broken or damaged ones with new ones.
5.2 Chimney Maintenance
5.2.1 Why Cleaning the Chimney Is Necessary
Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney, forming an inflammable deposit called creosote. If creosote is allowed to build up in the venting system, it can ignite when a hot fire is burned in the stove and 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 stove is operated properly, the exhaust from the chimney is mostly clear and creosote builds up more slowly.
5.2.2 How Often Should the Chimney Be Cleaned?
It is not possible to predict how much or how quickly creosote will form in the chimney. It is important, therefore, to check the build-up 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.
Contact the 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.
5.2.3 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 most common equipment used are fibreglass rods with threaded fittings and stiff plastic brushes. The brush is forced up and down inside the chimney flue to scrub off the creosote.
ENGLISH
The chimney should be checked regularly for creosote build-up. Inspection and cleaning of the chimney can be facilitated by removing the baffle. See «Appendix 5.
Air Tubes and Baffle Installation» for more details.
THE OPERATION OF THIS STOVE WITHOUT THE BAFFLE MAY CAUSE UNSAFE AND HAZARDOUS TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

7.3 Floor Protector
This stove is designed to prevent the floor from overheating. However, it must be placed on a nonflammable surface to protect the floor from hot embers that may fall during loading. The floor protection must be a continuous, non combustible material, such as steel with a minimum thickness of 0.015" (0.38 mm) or ceramic tiles sealed together with grout. Cement board, brick, or any other approved or listed material suited for floor protection. Any type of tile will require a continuous non combustible sheet beneath to prevent the possibility of embers falling through to the combustible floor if cracks or separation should occur in the finished surface. Check local codes for approved alternatives. No protection is required if the unit is installed on a non­combustible floor (ex: concrete). See table and figure below.

7.4 Reducing Wall and Ceiling Clearances Safely
It is often desired to use as little space as possible when installing a woodstove. To do this, it is possible to reduce the clearances safely and install the stove closer to the walls by permanently installing a heat shield between the stove and the flammable material. The rules for heat shield are sometimes complicated. Read and apply the instructions carefully. Some regions may have different regulations. Consult the local building code or contact the fire department for restrictions, inspection and installation requirements in the area.
Figure 19: Heat shield
7.4.1 Shield Construction Rules
− Adhesives used in shield construction must not ignite or lose adhesive qualities at temperatures likely to be encountered.
ENGLISH
− Mounting hardware which extends from the shield surface into combustibles may be used only at the edges of the shield.
− Mounting hardware must allow full vertical ventilation.
See figures on next page for shield construction to match each letter to a clearance.
A) Minimum clearance between the appliance top and an unshielded combustible ceiling: 1180 mm
(46 ½").
B) Shield extension above appliance: 500 mm (20").
C) Minimum space behind shield: 25 mm (1"). In Canada 21 mm (").
D) Clearance along the bottom of shield: minimum 25 mm (1") and maximum 75 mm (3").
E) Minimum clearance along the top of shield at ceiling: 75 mm (3").
F) Mounting hardware must not be located closer than 200 mm (8") from the vertical centre line of
the appliance.
G) Edge clearance for ceiling shields to side and back walls: 75 mm (3").
H) Shield extension beyond each side of appliance: 450 mm (18").

8. The Venting System
8.1 General
The venting system, made of the chimney and the connecting pipe between the stove and the chimney, acts as the engine that drives the wood heating system. Even the best stove will not function safely and efficiently if it is not connected to a suitable chimney.
The heat in the flue gases that pass from the stove and chimney connector 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 stove and safely vents exhaust to outside. The heat in the flue gas can be seen as the fuel the chimney uses to create draft.
8.2 Suitable Chimneys
This stove will provide optimum efficiency and performance when connected to a 6" diameter chimney flue system. The connection to a chimney having a diameter of at least 5" (Canada
ENGLISH
only) or no more than 7" is permitted, if it allows the proper venting of combustion gases and that such application is verified and authorized by a qualified installer. Otherwise, the diameter of the flue should be 6".
To be suitable, a factory-built metal chimney must comply with UL 103 HT (U.S.A.) or ULC S629 (Canada).
8.2.1 Factory-Built Metal Chimneys
These are sometimes referred to as ‘high temp’ chimneys because they have the specific characteristics to withstand the temperatures that can be created by wood burning stoves. Factory-built chimneys are tested as a system with all the necessary components for installation. The instructions provided with the chimney by its manufacturer are the only reliable source of installation guidelines. To be safe and effective, the chimney must be installed exactly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Only components intended for the brand and model of chimney shoud be used. Never fabricated or substitute parts from other chimney brands. The chimney must be a type suitable for solid fuel.
Page 36
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
8.2.2 Factory-Built Metal Chimneys in Mobile Homes
For use in a mobile home, this stove is to be connected to a 6" double wall factory built chimney pipe conforming to UCL-S629, standards for 650°C Factory-built chimney. The total length of the flue system should be at least 12 feet including elbows, from the top of the stove.
To maintain an effective vapour barrier, insulation and waterproof at the chimney and outside flue pipe, a roof flashing must be installed and sealed with silicone adhesive.
ENGLISH
8.2.3 Masonry Chimneys
The stove may also be connected to a masonry chimney, provided the chimney complies with the construction rules found in the building code enforced locally. The chimney must have either a clay liner or a suitably listed stainless steel liner. If the masonry chimney has a square or rectangular liner that is larger in cross sectional area than a round 6" flue, it should be relined with a suitably listed 6" stainless steel liner. Do not downsize the flue to less than 6" unless the venting system is straight and exceeds 25 feet in height. When passing through a combustible wall, the use of an insulated listed thimble is required.
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
Page 37
8.3 Minimum Chimney Height
The top of the chimney should be tall enough to be above the air turbulence caused when wind blows against the house and its roof. The chimney must extend at least 1 m (3 ft.) above the highest point of contact with the roof, and at least 60 cm (2 ft.) higher than any roof line or obstacle within a horizontal distance of 3 m (10 ft.).
ENGLISH
8.4 The Relationship Between the Chimney and the House
Because the venting system is the engine that drives the wood heating system, it must have the right characteristics. The signs of bad system design are cold backdrafting when there is no fire in the stove, slow kindling of new fires, and smoke roll-out when the door is opened for loading. There are two guidelines to follow. First, the chimney should be installed up through the heated space of the house, not out and up an outside wall. Second, the chimney should penetrate to the top of the building at or near the highest heated space.
8.4.1 Why Inside Chimneys Are Preferred
Venting systems that rise straight up from the stove flue collar provide the best performance. Chimneys that rise inside the warm space of the house tend to provide a small amount of draft even when there is no fire burning. This means that when a fire is lit, the smoke goes up the chimney and strong draft build quickly as the chimney flue warms up. Although they are common in North America, chimneys that exit a house wall and run up outside can cause problems.
Figure 23: Good System Design Figure 24: Inferior System Design
Page 38
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
8.4.2 Why the Chimney Should Penetrate the Highest Heated Space
When it is cold outside, the warm air in the house is buoyant so it tends to rise. This creates a slight pressure difference in the house. Called ‘stack effect’, it produces a slightly negative pressure in the lower part of the house (compared to the outside) and a slightly positive pressure zone in the high part of the house. If there is no fire burning in a heater connected to a chimney that is shorter than the warm space inside the house, the slight negative pressure in the lower part of the house will compete against the desired upward flow in the chimney. This occurs for the two following reasons:
First, the chimney runs up the outside of the house, so the air in it is colder and denser than the warm air in the house. And second, the chimney is shorter than the heated space of the house, meaning the negative pressure in the lower part of the house will draw cold air down the chimney, through the stove and into the room. Even the finest stove will not work well when connected to this chimney.
ENGLISH
8.5 Supply of Combustion Air
In Canada, wood stoves are not required to have a combustion air supply from outside, except for mobile homes. Research has shown that outside air supply do not compensate for the depressurization of the house and may not be sufficient to provide a supply of combustion air in windy weather. However, to reduce the risks against smoke spillage due to house depressurization, a carbon monoxide (CO) detector is required in the room where the stove is installed. The CO detector will provide warning if for any reason the wood stove fails to function correctly.
8.5.1 Combustion Air Supply in Mobile Homes
This stove is ‘mobile home approved’. It must therefore have a supply of combustion air from outdoors. The air intake must not draw air from the attic, from the basement, from a garage or any enclosed space. Air must be drawn from a ventilated crawl space under the floor or directly from outside. Install a flexible or rigid, insulated pipe (HVAC type, must comply to ULC S110 and/or UL 181, Class 0 or Class 1) to the fresh air intake.
Where a mobile home has been converted to a standard house by mounting it on a permanent basement foundation, the supply of outdoor air is not required.
8.5.2 Air Supply in Conventional Houses
The safest and most reliable supply of combustion air for a wood stove 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.
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
Page 39
Contrary to commonly expressed concerns, almost all tightly sealed new houses have enough natural leakage to provide a small amount of air needed by the stove. The only case in which the wood stove 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
Figure 25: Air supply in conventional houses
If an air intake is installed through the wall of the house, its pressure can vary during windy weather. If there are changes in wood stove performance in windy weather, and in particular if smoke puffs from the stove, the air duct should be disconnected from the stove to determine if it is the cause of the problem. In some windy conditions, negative pressure at the duct weather hood outside the house wall may draw hot exhaust gases from the stove backwards through the duct to outdoors. Check the outdoor air duct for soot deposits when the full system is cleaned and inspected at least once each year.
8.6 Installing the Chimney Connector
The chimney connector is the single or double wall pipe installed between the stove flue collar and the chimney breech. Single wall pipe components are available from most hardware and building supply stores. These components are not usually tested to a particular standard and certified as compliant. Therefore, a list of rules found in solid fuel installation codes apply to the installation of a single wall pipe.
Double wall chimney connectors are tested and certified. The rules for double wall pipe are found in the manufacturer’s installation instructions. These rules will be very different than those for single wall.
Page 40
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
8.6.1 Installation of Single Wall Chimney Connector
The chimney connector assembly has been called ‘the weak link’ in the safety of wood heating systems because failure to install the connector properly (which has been common in the past) can result in house fires.
The best flue pipe assembly is one that rises straight up from the stove to the base of the chimney with no elbows. Straight assemblies are less likely to cause problems like smoke roll­out when the door is opened for loading. They are also more stable and easier to maintain than assemblies with elbows. Horizontal runs of flue pipe should be avoided where possible because they reduce chimney draft.
ENGLISH
Figure 26: Best Figure 27: Acceptable Figure 28: Avoid
The rules below are based on those found in the CSA B365 installation code. Please carefully follow these installation instruction rules, or those enforced by the local code.
• Maximum overall length of horizontal pipe: 3 m (10 ft.) including elbows.
• Minimum clearance from combustible material: 450 mm (18 in.). The minimum clearance may be reduced by 50 percent to 225 mm (9 in.) if suitable shielding is installed either on the pipe or on the combustible surface.
• The assembly should be as short and direct as possible between the stove and chimney. The use of two 45 degree elbows is often preferable to a single 90 degree elbow because less turbulence is created in the exhaust flow and they result in less horizontal run.
• Maximum number of 90-degree elbows: 2.
• Maximum unsupported horizontal length: 1 m (3 feet).
• Galvanized flue pipes must not be used because the coatings vaporize at high temperatures and release dangerous gases. Use black painted flue pipes.
• Flue pipes must be at least 24 gauge in thickness.
• Flue pipe joints should overlap 30 mm (1 1/4 in.)
Installation and Operation Manual - Harmony 2.3
Page 41
• Each joint in the assembly must be fastened with at least three screws.
• The assembly must have allowance for expansion: elbows in assemblies allow for expansion; straight assemblies should include an inspection wrap with one end unfastened, or a telescopic section.
• Minimum upward slope towards the chimney: 20 mm/m (1/4 in/ft.).
• One end of the assembly must be securely fastened to the flue collar with 3 sheet metal screws and the other end securely fastened to the chimney.
• There must be provision for cleaning of the pipes, either through a clean out or by removal of the pipe assembly. Removal of the assembly should not require that the stove be moved.
• The male ends of the sections must be oriented towards the appliance so that falling dust and condensation stay inside the pipe.
• A flue pipe must never pass through a combustible floor or ceiling or through an attic, roof space, closet or concealed space.
ENGLISH
• Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.
• A straight up connector assembly needs either a telescopic length or an inspection wrap (pipe coupler) to allow it to be assembled and disassembled without moving the stove.
• A straight flue pipe assembly offers the least restriction to gas flow and results in a stronger draft. Straight assemblies also need less maintenance because there are no corners to collect creosote.
• The chimney connector must be in good condition.
