should be installed to ensure your safety. They should be
located away from the heating appliance and close to the
sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector
manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions,
and be sure to maintain regularly.
2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to
contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.
3. A CO detector should be installed in the room with the
appliance.
4. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
5. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:
a. In the event of a chimney fire:
b. Evacuate the house immediately
c. Notify fire department.
Floor protection
Your stove must be installed on a non-combustible material
plate to protect the floor and avoid fire caused by:
Projections of sparks when opening door or loading
logs;
The heat radiation from stove runaway which might
cause an auto-ignition to the floor and the coating;
Flow of creosote when there is a fire chimney.
The coating used for the protection must be non-combustible
and approved according to standard UL1618 for USA or
approved to the locals codes (Example: cement, brick, ceramic
tiles, etc.)
HORIZONTAL VENTING MANDATORY Non-combustible
floor protections must extend beneath the flue pipe when
installed with horizontal venting and it should extend 2 inches
(51 mm) beyond each side of the pipe.
You can extend the protection plate while respecting the

Firebrick installation on the pipes
The firebricks must be put on the 3 pipes from the front of
combustion chamber. Bricks keep the maximum heat inside the
combustion chamber and help the air from the tube burn the most
of the gas from wood which wouldn’t be burnt in any other
manner.
The rockwool above the brick prevents leakage between the
bricks and keep a maximum heat inside combustion chamber. It
must cover up all the bricks and the air corridors of both sides.
IMPORTANT: The rockwool must not obstruct the smoke exit
way. Check from the hole in the flue collar and make sure that is
in the good position. Place two half-round steel parts on the
rockwool as illustrated.
1) Put 3 « A » bricks and 1 «C» brick vertically over the first
three top pipes and push them against the back angle brick.
Be sure to eliminate any space between the back bricks
and the bricks you install as shown.
2) Put the rockwool over the bricks and check from the hole
in the flue collar that the passage of smoke is not
obstructed. There must be 1 inch (2.54 cm) or more
between the rockwool and the deflector.
3) Put two half-round steel disk over the rockwool near the
rear deflector already in place. Be sure to put it under the
rear deflector to maximise the clearance between
rockwool and the rear deflector. Make sure the rockwool
is not obstructig the space by looking from the hole in the
flue collar.
WARNING: Obstructing smoke exit way under deflector can
force fume to exit by the door when open it and the stove
must not work properly.

It is preferable, if possible, 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. Install
firestop in each level.
5) Frame the hole into the roof.
6) Install the chimney support at the ceiling where 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 locked
together and locked onto the chimney support.
NOTE: More lengthen chimney than the minimum can add
more draft and help to the good working operation of the
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
Note:
Chimney performance may vary.
Buildings, trees, roof line and wind conditions affect
performance, and can make backflow into the
chimney.
Chimney height may need adjustment if smoking or
overdraft occurs.

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 such as bathroom fan, cooking fan or a dryer, it is
recommended to install the external combustion air inlet.
Without the external air inlet, open a window slightly in the
room where the appliance is placed in order to avoid the
negative pressure caused by the appliances mentioned above.
A mobile home on a foundation is considered as a
conventional house.
Exterior Air Intake pipe
This appliance is certified for the mobile home installation. An
external air intake is necessary.
We recommend to use a 4 inches (10.7 cm) aluminum flexible
pipe with a dumper outside 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 an exterior air
intake is installed.
3) Install a small rigid section inside the house and put a
damper to close the air Inlet. This 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.
5) Put a thermal resistant isolation onto the pipe if the
pipe is not isolated.
To avoid that the cold air doesn’t come in the stove, we
recommend to install a valve which closes the pipe near the
outdoor air inlet.
Air Inlet Obstruction
If the stove extinguishes after closing the door, it’s possible that
the air inlet is obstructed by something.
After a long unused period, insects or animals can build a nest
inside the air inlet.
After a storm in winter, snow can accumulate over the air inlet
and obstruct it.
Before warming season, always inspect air inlet pipe to be sure
nothing is obstructing the outside air inlet.
Installation of Air Intake Pipe
1) To install the exterior air intake pipe, find the hole
under the 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.

STAINLESS STEEL TUBES
REPLACEMENT
Although the tubes are in stainless steel, with extreme
temperature and conditions, the tubes are eventually corroded
and perforated by normal deterioration. They must be replaced
by a new one to ensure the performance of your stove.
Stainless steel tubes Installation
There are three type of tubes used into the stove. Two of them
are single-side perforated (1) and are in the back of the heat
chamber.
The 3rd tube from the back (2) is also single-side perforated,
but it is larger than other single-side perforated tubes (1).
The front heat chamber is covered by a double-side perforated
tube (3).
How to install tubes
1) Insert the tube into the round hole in the hot air
corridor.
2) Insert the other side in the corresponding hole of the
hot air corridor.
3) Align holes and put the screw on both sides to hold
the tube.
.
4) Install the next tube.
To remove tubes, do these steps in reverse order.
To ensure proper tubes orientation, find a notch at the end of
tube, then find a corresponding one made on the hot air
corridor.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATE ONLY WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED: Keeping
the door open might over fire and cause 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. The smoke detector might go on when
there is smoke leaking out.
NEVER SLAP THE DOOR.
NEVER BURN INFLAMMABLE LIQUID: Inflammable
liquid makes very intense heat and it is hard to control
the combustion. It might cause the runaway and
overheat of stove. This can consequently make
permanent damage to the stove or a chimney fire.
ALWAYS VERIFY IF THE AIR INLET IS NOT
OBTRUCTED BEFORE LIGHTNING A FIRE.
NEVER ELEVATE FIRE WITH GRATE OR ANDIRON.
ALWAYS MAKE FIRE DIRECTLY IN THE HEARTH.
Primary and secondary air admission
control
When the handle under the front tablet of the stove is pushed
completely backward, the air admission is only from the tube.
This is what we called “Secondary air admission”. On the other
hand, when the handle is pulled fully forward, the air admission
is directly from the top of the door opening and this is what we
called “Primary air Admission”.
Warning: Operating your stove with the Primary air
admission fully open for a long period of time can damage
the stove.
IT IS PROHIBITED TO MODIFY AIR ADMISSION TO
OBTAIN A BRIGHT FIRE OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
MODIFICATION CAN VOID GUARANTEE.
Lightning fire
After installing correctly the stove following the instruction of
the manufacturer, you are ready to light it.
1) Pull the control knob forward to let the direct air
admission in the combustion chamber.
2) Put paper and kindling wood into the combustion
chamber and light the fire in your preferred way.
3) Close the door partially keeping a slight opening.
When chimney has been hot enough, close
completely the door and let the air admission in the
horizontal position so that your fire is kindled.
4) Once you have a glowing ember, 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.
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.
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.
USE THE STOVE ALWAYS LEAVING THE DOOR
CLOSED.
NEVER USE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OR
INFLAMMABLE LIQUID TO START THE FIRE OR
REVIVE THE FLAME.
DO NOT BURN TRASH OR ANY OTHER
INFLAMMABLE PRODUCT SUCH AS GAZOLINE,
NAPHTHA OR MOTOR OIL.
DO NOT BUILD FIRE NEAR THE DOOR GLASS.
KEEP THE INFLAMMABLE PRODUCTS AWAY FROM
THE APPLIANCE.

First fire
During the first hours of operation, you must heat it gradually.
In order to allow an appropriate baking of the paint and
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 fade the color.
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 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 wood into the stove and keep a fire:
1) Pull the control knob forward and wait a few second to let
the fire adjust to the new conditions.
2) Open the door handle to the first position and wait for a
while until the fire has been adjusted.
3) Turn the door handle completely and leave the door half-
open and let the fire set up.
4) Open the door completely.
5) Move embers near the door with poker to supply it with
oxygen and make it burn completely.
6) Add firewood over the ember, keeping it away from the
glass door to avoid flame touching the ceramic glass.
ATTENTION:
DO NOT OVER CHARGE THE STOVE OVER THE
UPPER BRICK.
DO NOT BUILD A FIRE NEAR THE WINDOW.
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BURN DRY
CORDWOOD. WE DON’T RECOMMEND ANY OTHER
TYPE OF WOOD.
7) Close the door slightly and let the wood burn.
8) Once the fire gets stable, close and lock the door.
9) Push the air admission knob to needed setting.
NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE
DOOR IS SIGHTLY OPEN. ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR
AFTER ADDING A LOAD.
DO NOT USE ANY INFLAMMABLE LIQUID TO REKINDLE
THE FIRE.
Fan Control
The optional switch on the snap disc box is only to turn on and
off the fan.
When it’s ON, the snap disc will start at the moment when the
temperature of ventilation box gets 120 Fahrenheit (49 °
Celsius).
In OFF Position, the fan is turned off and it doesn’t start.
If the switch is not installed, the operation is the same as in ON
position.
NEVER ROUTE THE ELECTRIC WIRE OF FANS IN FRONT
OR UNDER APPLIANCE.
Fuel Selection
This heater is designed to burn only firewood. Using firewood
dried properly results in higher efficiencies and lower emissions
of pollutant compared with using softwood or fresh wood.
Moisture Meter Information
Firewood is ready to use at 10‐25% moisture content.
Fresh cut logs can have a moisture content of 80% or more,
depending on species. During the drying process, wood might
shrink, split, twist or change shape. In general, wood must be
dried before use. Air drying, i.e. ‘seasoning’ is the most
common method used for cordwood.
Season wood outdoors through the summer for at least 6
months before burning it. Properly seasoned wood is darker,
has cracks at the ends, and sounds hollow when smacked
against another piece of wood.
In most parts in the North America, the minimum moisture
content that can be generally obtained in air drying is about 12
to 15 percent.
June 16, 2016 23

Things not to burn
1) Garbage;
2) Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3) Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4) Materials containing plastic;
5) Waste containing petroleum products, paints or paint
thinners, or asphalt products;
6) Materials containing asbestos;
7) Construction or demolition debris;
8) Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9) Manure or animal remains;
10) Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water
saturated materials;
11) Unseasoned wood;
12) Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
The prohibition against burning these materials does not
prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard,
saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of
starting a fire in an affected wood heater. Burning these
materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the
heater ineffective and cause smoke.
Wood storage
The cordwood must be store into dry place, away from bad
weather.
It should not be stored under or near the stove.
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
Draft
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on its length, local geography, nearby obstructions
and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive
temperatures in the appliance and may damage the appliance.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft.
Insufficient draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the
room through appliance and chimney connector joints.’
Creosote Formation
When wood is burning slowly, it produces tar and other organic
vapors, which are combined with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapor condenses in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining and this creosote makes
an extremely hot fire when ignited.
MAINTENANCE
Ash Removal
The wood burning doesn’t transform the wood into combustion
gas completely. It makes some residue called ash and it must
be removed from the combustion chamber to help oxygen
circulation.
The ash have to be removed periodically every 2 or 3 days
during 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.
When ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your firebox, and when
the fire has burn down and cooled, remove excess ashes.
Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the firebox
bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
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 still hot. The hot chimney draft will
vacuum the dust inside the stove.
To clean ash from the combustion chamber, 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. It is very important that the metal lid was airtight. The
bucket must be put on a non-combustible tile or brick.
Ash Disposal
Some embers mixed with ash can still be lit. If embers have
enough oxygen, they can still stay lit some hours and even a
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
such as gravels, concrete and bricks.
Far enough any combustible material.
Far enough any inflammable liquid and vapor.
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.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at
least once a week during the first month to determine if a
creosote buildup has occurred and to see how often you have
to sweep it. Warmer your fire is, less creosote buildup occurs.
Contact your local fire authority to know how to handle a
chimney fire.
June 16, 2016 24
Page 25
Chimney Inspection
Wood moisture, a type of wood, the combustion quality are the
factors that can influence creosote buildup speed into the
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 on your installation. You can call a Chimney
sweeper to evaluate the creosote formation or you can do it
yourself. 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 on a bright
day. For an outdoor factory build chimney, open the cap at the
bottom of chimney.
If there is 1/8 inches (3 mm) or more creosote buildup, smaller
apparent diameter or if you cannot see the chimney cap, it’s a
sign to sweep your chimney connector and your chimney to
remove creosote.
Chimney Sweeping
Chimney Sweeping needs a special tool such as fiberglass rod,
an adapted diameter brush and a rope.
Sweeping chimney also requires to climb on the roof to remove
the chimney cap and sometime even a very 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 maintenance
The door is the mobile element that needs a special attention.
Its tightness is essential. One of the first signs of wear braided
fiberglass rope is the white soot sticking on the glass where the
air leaks.
Air tight Adjustment
If the braided fiberglass rope still seems good enough but little
flattened, it needs probably to be tighten.
Door adjustment (right side)
This side adjustment can be done with the screw under the
door near the hook hole.
1) Unlock and open the door.
2) With a square screwdriver, turn clockwise the
adjustment screw a quarter turn.
3) Put a piece of paper between the frontage of stove
and braided fiberglass rope. Close and lock the door.
4) If the paper slides easily when you pull it, repeat steps
1 to 3 again.
5) If the screws are tightened but the piece of paper
comes off easily, the braided fiberglass rope must be
changed.
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 and cleaning the hot glass.
Cleaning hot glass can cause a thermal shock and can break
the glass.
Uninstalling and installing door
To uninstall, keep the lower hinge tighten.
1) Open the door.
2) Lift the door to remove the lower hinge.
3) Tilt the door to remove the upper hinge.
Installing the door.
1) Insert the upper hinge
2) Align the lower hinge.
3) Place the door on the lower hinge.
4) Close the door.

Replacing broken glass
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE STOVE WHEN THE GLASS
IS BROKEN OR CRACKED.
DO NOT SLAP THE DOOR.
NEVER BUILD FIRE NEAR THE GLASS.
NEVER PUT WATER ONTO THE GLASS TO AVOID A
THERMAL SHOCK.
Replace only with a 4mm ceramic glass with the right shape.
DO NOT USE SUBTITUTE.
Steps to replace broken glass
1) Loosen partially the screws retaining the four glass
supports.
2) Remove the broken glass and all pieces of broken
glass and clean the door.
3) There is a fiberglass rope for sealing. If not, you need
to install it. 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 glass and put the lower support first
and gently tighten screw. If screws are tighten too
much, it makes pressure points and it might break the
glass when it gets hot.
5) Install the top support and gently tighten screw.
6) Verify if all the screws are tightened properly.
If you cannot replace glass with the door in place, you may
have to remove the door. To do so, follow the instruction of this
manual.
Fiberglass rope installation
1) Put a high temperature latex inside the clean groove
to glue the fiberglass rope.
2) Starting at the lower corner near the hinge put
fiberglass rope into the groove without giving any
tension
3) Align the two fiberglass rope ends perpendicularly and
put some high temperature latex in between.
4) Let dry the high temperature latex for at least 48
hours. Put the door back on the hinge and readjust
the tightness.
