Floor protection.

Your stove must be installed on a non-combustible material plate to protect the floor and avoid fire would be caused by:

• Projections of sparks when door opening or loading logs

• The heat radiation when stove runaway should have an ignition to the floor and the coating.

• Flow of creosote when there is a fire chimney

The coating used must be non-combustible and approved according to standard UL1618 for USA or approved to the locals codes (Example: cement, brick, ceramic tiles…)

Floor protection plate minimum dimensions.

The following dimensions are the minimums values and it can be higher.

Canada:

• 44 ¾ (113.73 cm)

• 53 ¾ (136.53 cm)

• 3/8 in thickness (1 cm)

USA:

• 44 ¾ (113.73 cm)

• 51¾ (131.44 cm)

• 3/8 in thickness (1 cm)

•

It’s necessary to protect the floor behind the horizontal connecting pipe section to the chimney of 2 inches (5cm) besides connecting pipe and up to the vertical connecting pipe. You can extend the protection plate while respecting the clearances of each side of stove.

Clearances of the stove until the floor plate protection.

The following dimensions are the minimums values and it can be higher.

United States:

• 8 in (20.3 cm) behind

• 8 in (20.3 cm) beside

• 16 in (40.64 cm) in front of the door opening.

Minimums clearances to combustible material.

With these reduced clearances, this appliance take a minimum of space where is installed. Whether in the living room or the dining room, the Cook stove will complete your decorate by his originality and heating, it requires a minimum clearance of 10 inches to the back (for a smoke simple pipe with a heat shield ) and a 20 inches lateral MINIMUM clearance.

• In the case with a smoke simple pipe without heat shield, you must installed the cooker stove that the smoke pipe is to 18 inches of all combustible material therefore the MINIMUM clearance at the back of the stove will be 16¼ inches (41.3cm).

• For a 45° corner installation, or other corner

installation, the minimum clearance between the stove and combustible material must be 6 inches.

• To know how to reduce that dimension you have

to contact your local authority to know how to install heat shield on a wall. Installation with reduced clearances must comply with standard NFPA211 or CAN/CSA-B365.

Chimney installation, General steps

Use only approved chimneys. The same size as the output collar. 6 inches in this case. The chimneys used must be tested according to CAN/ULC S629 M87 in Canada and to UL 103 (type HT) In USA. The Cook stove can be install with a masonry chimney according to ULC S635, ULC S640 and UL 1777. The masonry chimney must be equipped with a stainless steel sleeve and meet the standards for the masonry chimney with inner sleeve.

Provide a place to sweeping. When possible, it is preferable to avoid an outside chimney or

built on an exterior wall, and this is even more important for colder areas. Outside chimneys generally have a less efficient draught. They can even have an inverse draught because it is hard to heat them enough so that they can reach their operating temperature. A greater accumulation of creosote, a less efficient draught and a lesser performance are some characteristics of cold chimneys. Draught is proportional to the total chimney height as well as its temperature. It is therefore possible to get a better draught by increasing the chimney's height and by reducing the heat loss with an insulated lining. The chimney has to be installed with a stainless steel lining. Make sure that all smoke pipe joints are really airtight. A leak reduces the efficiency of the appliance and could even make its utilization dangerous.

Note: This is a general chimneys installation method. Always refer to the manufacturer’s manual of the chimney for a more detailed method for your chimney.

1) Determine the total length needed for your chimney..

2) Cut the holes into all floor and roof

3) If you need to cut a joist, be sure to strengthen the adjacent joists and frame hole respecting the minimum dimensions to be maintained between combustible materials and the firewall. Follow the manufacturer's instructions in the manual supplied with the firestop. Never cut a structural beam.

4) Frame the holes in each level and attic respecting the minimum distance recommended by the manufacturer's manual of your chimney. And install firestop in each level.

5) Frame the hole into the roof.

6) Install the chimney support at the ceiling where Cook stove is installed.

7) Stack and lock the factory built chimney section on the support and above the roof.

• The chimney must be over 36 inches (91.4 cm) over the higher point into the roof opening.

• The chimney must also be 24 inches over the highest point on the roof inside 10 ft (304 cm) radius around chimney.

• The minimum length of chimney is 12 feet (365.8 cm).

• ATTENTION: Be sure the chimney section are lock together and lock onto the chimney support.

• Note: More lengthen chimney than the minimum can add more draft and help to the good working operation of the cook

stove Try the minimum length first then add section if you need more draft.

8) Put the roof flashing over the chimney and seal it with roof caulking.

9) Nail roof flashing, and reinstall roof covering.

10) Slide the storm collar over the chimney and seal it with high temperature caulking.

11) Lock the chimney cap and install the spark arrestor if necessary

6. External combustion air source.

In conventional designed house, natural ventilation is enough to operate the wood stove.

In some new energy saving house, natural ventilation is not enough to good operation of your stove. To avoid reverse circulation of smoke caused by negative pressure when turning on some fan on like: Bathroom fan, Cooking fan or a drying machine. Open slightly a window in the same room than the appliance to compensate the depressurisation, or install

optional exterior air inlet. WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN MOBILE HOME

A mobile home on a foundation is considered like a conventional house.

Exterior Air Intake pipe.

This appliance is not certified for the mobile home installation. An external optional air intake is need to be installed. Call you sale representative to buy one.

We recommend to use a 4 inches (10.7 cm) aluminum flexible pipe, a damper and a caped air inlet equipped with grate

Other pipe material must be complied with ULC-S110 norms or UL-181 Class1 norms, equipped with thermal resistant isolation and must be corrosion resistant

The stove must be fix to the structure when a exterior air intake is installed.

Installation of Air Intake Pipe.

1) To install the exterior air intake pipe, find the hole under the cook stove back and fold the 3 tabs outside the Intake box. Insert the pipe into the hole and screw the pipe using the 3 holes in the tabs. Put a generous layer of high temperature latex caulking onto the joint to ensure the pipe is sealed.

2) Cut the exterior wall and install Air Inlet kit following the manufacturer installation instructions. Be sure to

seal it correctly to preserve the vapour barrier of your house.

3) Install a small rigid section with a damper onto the interior end of the Air Inlet (The damper is to reduce the cold air circulation into the stove when it is not in service.)

4) Plug the flexible air inlet pipe onto the damper section and seal it.

5) Put a thermal resistant isolation onto the pipe if the pipe is not isolated.

Air Inlet Obstruction

If the stove extinguish after closing is door, it’s possible than the air inlet is obstruct by something. After a long unused period, insects or animals can build a nest into the air inlet. In winter, after a storm, snow can accumulate over the air inlet and obstruct it.

Before warming season, always inspect air inlet pipe to be sure nothing is obstructed the outside air inlet.

Stainless steel deflector replacement.

Add-on stainless-steel plate are used into combustion chamber to protect the steel from wear corrosion cause by extreme temperature and extreme conditions into combustion chamber.

When it’s too wear they have to be replaced.

Front deflector Add-on Replacement.

Remove the rockwool, half round plate, and the 2 front tubes.(see Stainless steel tubes replacement section.

Replacement of the add-on deflector.

• Remove all the screws of the add-on stainless steel deflector.

• Install the new deflector and screw it in place. Pay attention to put all screw.

• Install previously disassembled tube, rockwool and half round plate. Following instruction into the stainless steel tubes replacement section.

Stainless steel tubes replacement.

Although the tubes are in stainless steel. With extreme temperature and conditions the tubes are eventually corroding and perforating by normal deterioration. They must be replaced by a new one to ensure performance of your stove.

Stainless steel tubes Installation.

Two type of tubes is used into the stove. Three of this are a single holes perforation and are in the back of heat chamber. The front heat chamber is covered by the two other and are double sided perforated

To ensure proper tubes orientation, a groove is cut at one end of tubes, and a corresponding emboss is cut into the hot air side channel.

Step to install a tube.

1) Insert the tube into the round hole into the hot air side channel.

2) Align and insert the groove into the other side.

3) Push completely the grooved end and insert the cotter pin into the last hole at the other side.

4) Split the cutter pin to lock it

5) Install the next tube

To remove tubes, do steps in reverse order

Tube support installation.

Put the support over the tube and fix it with the screw into the top of combustion chamber like the next illustration.

7. Operating Instructions

• OPERATE ONLY WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED: Keeping

the door open can over fire and do permanent damage to the stove or a chimney fire.

• It’s recommended to install a CO, CO2 and smoke

detector into the same room than the stove.

• NEVER SLAP THE DOOR.

• NEVER BURN INFLAMMABLE LIQUID: Inflammable

liquid make too much uncontrolled heat and can make permanent damage to the stove or a chimney fire.

• ALWAYS CHEK IF AIR INLET IS NOT OBTRUCT

BEFORE LIGHTNING A FIRE.

• NEVER ELEVATE FIRE WITH GRATE OR ANDRION.

ALWAYS MAKE FIRE DIRECTLY ON THE HEART.

Primary and secondary air admission control.

When the handle on the left side of the stove is vertical the air admission is from the tube only, this is what we called “Secondary air admission”. Else when the handle is angle back the air admission is direct and from the top of the door opening, this is what we called “Primary air Admission”

Warning: Operate stove with the Primary air admission fully open for a long period of time, can damage the stove.

IS PROHIBITED TO MODIFY AIR ADMISSION TO OBTAIN A BRIGHT FIRE OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON. MODIFICATION CAN AVOID GUARANTEE.

Lightning fire.

After installing correctly the stove following the installation instruction of the manufacturer, you are ready to light it.

1) Turn the admission handle in horizontal position to set the primary air admission.

2) Be sure to close all cooking holes

3) Turn the deviation knob in the non-cooking position

4) Put paper and lightning wood into the combustion chamber like your preferred disposition and light it

5) Close partially the door keeping a slight opening. When chimney have enough heat buildup close completely the door and lock it. Wait for a good fire buildup.

6) Once you have an ember fire, it’s time to add logs. Follow now the instruction section on how to keep a fire

DO NOT OVER CHARGE THE STOVE OVER THE UPPER BRICK ROW

You can control the combustion by turning up or down the handle. The wood will burn more rapidly when more primary air is set. Otherwise the wood burn more slowly and more efficiently with the handle set to secondary air. You can balance the primary and secondary air to have more heat, to cook.

Warning: Operate stove with the Primary air admission fully open for a long period of time, can damage the stove by over firing.

NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS SIGHTLY OPEN. ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR AFTER LIGHTNING.

CAUTION: NEVER USE GAZOLINE, GAZOLINE TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSEN, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP “A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS USE.

NEVER BURN TRASH.

First fire.

The first hours of operation, you must heat it gradually. In order to allow an appropriate cooking of the paint and in order to facilitate its adhesion with metal, do not heat the appliance with a strong fire. It will also avoid thermal shock which could lift up the paint or make it whiten.

Make sure that the room is ventilated enough in order to eliminate the odours and the smoke coming from the paint during the first hours of utilization. It is normal that a light smoke is released from the paint during the first hours of use.

Even if this nuisance is temporary, open the windows and the doors in order to ensure a good ventilation. This special paint is conceived to tolerate temperatures until 1200°F (650°C).

Keep a fire.

To add firewood into the stove and keep a fire.

1) Turn the handle to horizontal position and wait a few second to let the fire adjusting to the new conditions..

2) Open the door handle to the first position and wait a few second to balance pressure to avoid fume to escape from stove

3) Wide open slowly the door.

4) Move embers with poker near to the door to oxygen it and make it burned completely

5) Add firewood over the ember, keeping it away from the glass door to avoid flame touching the ceramic glass.

DO NOT BUILD A FIRE TOO CLOSE OF THE WINDOW.

6) Close the door slightly and wait to be sure the wood is burning.

7) One the wood is burning close and lock the door.

8) Adjust the air admission handle to needed setting.

NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS SIGHTLY OPEN. ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR AFTER ADDING A LOAD.

Fans Controls.

The optional switch on the snap disc box is only to power up and down the fan

On power up position the fan is control by a snap disc factory set to 120 Fahrenheit (49 ° Celsius)

On Off Position all the fans shut down. When the switch is not installed the operation is the same as it

power up.

NEVER ROUTE THE ELECTRIC WIRE OF FANS IN FRONT OR UNDER APPLIANCE

Wood storage

The readily cordwood must be store into dry place, away from bad weather.

It should not be store under the stove or too close of it. If any wood is stored next to the stove it must respect the

minimum clearances to avoid self-ignition temperature. 10 inches (25.4 cm) behind. 20 inches (50.8 cm) beside. 48 inches (122 cm) in front of it.

8. Maintenance.

Ash Removal.

The wood burning make some residual called ash and must be remove from the combustion chamber to help oxygen circulation

The ash have to be removed periodically every 2 or 3 days into heavy warming period. Never had excessive accumulation into the combustion chamber because it can reduce performances of your stove by diminish the air circulation between logs.

The best time to remove ash is after a long warming period like morning when the stove is relatively cold enough to manipulate ash and the chimney is yet hot. The hot chimney draft will vacuum the dust inside the stove.

To clean combustion chamber from ash you must have the following tool.

• Ash shovel

• Ash brush.

• A metal bucket with airtight lid.

Some embers is mix with ash and still lit a few hours or a few days. Is very important than the metal lid was airtight. The bucket must be put on a non-combustible tile or brick.

Ash Disposal.

Some embers is mix with ash and can still lit. If embers have enough oxygen it can still lit some hours and so some few days.

It’s mandatory to store ash pending disposal:

• Into a metal container with an airtight metal lid

correctly closed

• Outside the house on a non-combustible material.

• Far enough any combustible material.

• Far enough any inflammable liquid and vapor.

• Enough long to be thoroughly cooled.

If the ash 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.

NEVER PUT TRASH INTO THE ASH CONTAINER

Creosote Formation.

When wood is burning slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapor condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining, When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire

The chimney connector and chimney should be inspect at least once a week during the first month after buying your stove to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred and to see how often you have to sweep it. Warmer is your fire, less creosote buildup as occurred.

Contact your local fire authority to know how to handle a chimney fire.

Chimney Inspection.

Wood moisture, wood species, the combustion quality, are some factors that can influence creosote buildup speed into chimney and chimney connector.

The chimney and the chimney connector must be inspected at least one every two month during the warming season or more depending of your installation. You can call a Chimney sweeper to evaluate the creosote formation or you can do it yourself by extinguish the wood stove, wait for cool down. Then unscrew the chimney connector and inspect the chimney connector and the factory build chimney with a spot light to see if a creosote buildup as occurred. For a masonry chimney insert a mirror in the cleanout opening at the bottom at the bright day. For an outdoor factory build chimney open the cap at the bottom of chimney.

A 1/8 inches (3 mm) or more creosote buildup, smaller apparent diameter and if you cannot see the chimney cap. It’s a sign that is time to sweep your chimney connector and your chimney to remove creosote.

Chimney Sweeping.

Chimney Sweeping need a special tool like some fiberglass rod an adapted diameter brush and some rope

Sweeping chimney also requires to climb on the roof to remove the chimney cap and sometime a too high chimney section too.

We recommend to call a Professional chimney Sweeper certified by APC in Quebec, the WETT in the rest of Canada or by NFI in United States.

Door care.

The door is the mobile element that need a special attention. Its tightness is primordial. One of the first signs of wear braided fiberglass rope is the white soot seems to stick on the glass located where the air leak.

Air Tighten Adjustment.

If the braided fiberglass rope still seems good enough and little flatten it need probably to be tighten

Door adjustment (hinges side).

Important: To keep squareness of the door Keep the door locked and loosen only one hinge at a time.

1) Loosen lightly upper hinge

2) Push the door right beside the upper hinge to tighten the braided fiberglass rope. Then tighten the hinge.

3) Loosen lightly lower hinge.

4) Push the door right beside the lower hinge to tighten the braided fiberglass rope. Then tighten the lower hinge.

5) Open the door and insert a piece of paper between the frontage of stove and the braided fiberglass rope and close it.

6) If the paper easily slide when you pull it, do steps 1 to 5 another time.

7) If after some try the piece of paper slide easily. The braided fiberglass rope must be changed.

Door adjustment (right side)

This side adjustment is do with the screw under the door near the hook hole..

1) Unlock and open the door.

2) With a screwdriver turn clockwise the adjustment screw a quarter turn.

3) Put a piece of paper between the frontage of stove and braided fiberglass rope and close and lock the door.

4) If the paper easily slide when you pull it, do steps 1 to 3 another time.

5) If the door side touch the frontage of the stove and the piece of paper slide easily. The braided fiberglass rope must be changed.

On some version of stove two screw is for retain the door.

Cleaning up glass

To clean the glasses, J.A. Roby Inc. recommends using products sold for this purpose or an oven cleaner avoiding touching paint part.

• Avoid cleaning with abrasives or when the glass is hot. Cleaning glass when is hot can cause a thermal shock and broken the glass.

Uninstalling and installing door.

To uninstall keep the lower hinge tighten.

1) Keep the door lock.

2) Untighten the upper hinge without remove the nut.

3) Unlock the door and carry it while open.

4) Tilt the door off the upper hinge

5) Lift the door off the lower hinge..

Installing the door.

1) Insert the bottom hinge

2) Close the door align it and lock it.

3) Tighten the upper hinge then align the washer with the hinge support.

4) Make the air tighten adjustment.

Broken glass replacement.

WARNING: NEVER OPERATE STOVE WHEN THE GLASS IS BROKEN OR CRACK

NEVER SLAP THE DOOR. NEVER BUILD FIRE TOO NEAR THE GLASS NEVER PUT WATER ONTO THE GLASS TO AVOID A

THERMAL SHOCK.

Replace only with a 5mm ceramic glass with the right shape.

DO NOT USE SUBTITUTE

Steps to replace glass.

1) Loosen partially the screws retaining the four glass supports. And remove the support. (On the cook stove door remove completely the screw.)

2) Remove the broken glass and all pieces of broken glass. And clean the door.

3) Stick the flat fiberglass rope around the glass without pulling it excessively. A sticking side is already on the flat rope.

4) Install the new glasses and put the lower support first and gently tighten screw. Tighten it too much can make a pressure point and can break the glass when it became hot.

5) Install the top support and gently tighten screw

6) Check the tightening Tighten it too much can make a pressure point and can break the glass when it became hot

If you cannot replace glass in place you may have to remove the door to make it. Look in this manual to know how.

Fiberglass rope replacement.

Use a ½ inches (12.7mm) braided fiberglass rope. It is possible to replace the braided fiberglass rope with the

door on the stove, but if you want you can remove door.

Fiberglass rope preparation.
