Getting Acquainted

The Artisan stove is a time proven heating and cooking
appliance. Take your time to acquaint yourself with the
principles on which your new stove operates as a heater
and a cooking stove.

Familiarizing yourself with the primary principles of the air
intake controls, the oven damper, the flame path for the
fire and the relationship to the chimney will give you a very
comprehensive understanding of what you are trying to
accomplish with the stove.

Save These Instructions

Keep the manual available for future reference. The
manual is an important part of your stove. If your stove is
sold, deliver the manual to the new owner along with the
stove.

The quality of the installation (especially the chimney
connector and chimney), and the quality of the fuel being
burned will affect the performance of your stove, but the
most important factor is the way you operate the stove.
With the help of this manual, you will learn how to
effectively heat and cook with your stove. Be sure to read
it entirely, including the terms of reference and function.

In addition, your own experience will help you to learn the
role that the chimney plays in stove performance. The
Artisan has been tested and is listed by Warnock Hersey.
The test standards are ULC S-627 for Canada and UL
1482 for U.S.

The Artisan is listed for burning wood only. Do not burn
other materials or garbage. The Artisan is not listed for
installation in mobile homes. Do not inst

all the stove in

mobile homes.

Safety Notice: If your stove is not properly installed
and maintained, a house fire may result. For your
safety, follow all installation, operation and
maintenance directions. Contact local building
officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area. (“Makeshift” compromises
in the installation may result in hazardous conditions,
including a house fire.)

Note: DO NOT connect to or use in conjunction with any
air distribution ductwork. This stove is not approved for
such installations.

DO NOT use chemical fluids to start the fire.
DO NOT burn garbage or flammable fluids such as

gasoline or engine oil.
CAUTION: Stove is hot while in operation. Keep children,

clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin
burns.

Spend some time becoming familiar with the various parts
of the stove by operating them before you burn your stove.

After a few weeks of operating the stove, re-read this
manual. Many of the procedures will become clearer after
you have had some experience with the stove.

The serial number is located on a pull-out plate at the
bottom right hand side of the front of the unit. The listed
rating plate is located on the back wall of the unit.

Place the stove in the intended position and lift out the
hotplate, checking that the joint between the underside of
the hob and the top of the stove is intact. Any joints which
have opened should be made good with the fire cement
provided.

Replace the hotplate making sure that it is seated evenly
on the soft rope and that it is approximately 0.1” (1.5mm)
higher than the enamelled top plate, with an equal space
all round. Fit the flue chamber which should have a rope
seal already installed. The flue chamber is screwed to the
stove making a good seal as any air leak at this point will
impede the working of the stove.

P/N - RS4M301136 A

Flue Chamber Box is located in Main Oven compartment
during shipment.

Remove all bubble wrap and protective film from inside of
oven doors prior to stove ignition.

Refer to Fig. 7 for definition of terms and installation
orientation of Flue Chamber.

a. Remove two screws (1/4” x 20) and fiber washers from

oven top cutout.

b. Prior to positioning Flue Chamber, ensure that

chamber damper is in its full open position to allow for
access to screw hole locations.

c. Position Flue Chamber on stove top ensuring that it is

nested as close as possible to the stove top, to allow
for a minimal gap - front and side.

d. Install fiber washers and 1/4” x 20 screws - ensuring

fasteners are tightly securing Flue Chamber.

e. Close Flue Chamber door.
Open the firebox and ashpit doors and check that the

reciprocating bottom grate bars are in position. Make sure
the three restriction plates are in place on the bottom grate

- one at the front and two at the rear. The riddling lever will
not operate with restriction plates in place - it is intended
for cleaning purposes only.

Be sure to read the sections on clearances, floor
protection and chimneys before actively starting the
installation.

A woodburning stove radiates heat in all directions. Heat
directed toward living areas in front of the stove is usually
very welcome. However, heat radiating in other directions
will not be as welcome if it results in overheating nearby
walls, ceilings and floors.
An important part of planning a safe installation is to be
sure that the combustible material located near your stove
does not overheat.
Clearance is the distance between your stove and
stovepipe and nearby walls, ceilings and floors.
If there is adequate clearance, then the nearby surfaces
will not overheat.

It is very important that you match the stove pipe you are

using to the clearances specified. Failure to do so will
result in an unsafe condition.

Unit must be placed on a continuous non-combustible pad
(floor tile with grouting or sheet metal pad) extending 21”
(540mm) in front and 8” (203mm) to the side and back.

Air flowing between the stove pipe and nearby surfaces
carries away heat. Do not fill the empty space with any
insulating material.

A chimney approved to CSA B.365-01 in Canada or
NFPA 211 in the USA must be used to connect to the
stove pipe.

Handrail:

The handrail brackets are held on the front ends of the
stove top-plate casting. Remove the travel nuts and
replace with the handrail brackets ensuring the fibre
protecting washers are in position. Insert the handrail with
fitted endcaps into the brackets, positioning them
correctly, and tighten the locating bolts (See Fig. 1). Do

not use handrail to move stove.

Endcaps, brackets and hardware, referenced in Fig. 1 are
located in the lower warming drawer during shipment.
Handrail is located on Stovetop in a round tube during
shipment.

Do not hang combustible material on handrail during
stove operation.

Clearances must be maintained at all combustible
material. These include doors, trim, furniture, drapes,
newspapers and clothes. See local codes for a
description of combustible material.

Make sure that no floor or chimney supports will be cut
due to chimney installation.

Contact local building officials about restrictions and
installation inspection in your area.
