Welcome

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 install 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.

Installation

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.

Warning

The ashpit and firebox door must be closed during normal use, except when lighting or refuelling

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.
