AIR INLET PATH
EXHAUST PATH

They were specifi cally designed over many months of research to meet the
1990 U.S.A. EP A particulate emission standards and have been extensively
tested in Canadian and American laboratories. This system is the most ef­fi cient, simple and trouble free we know and works as follows:

Secondary air from the rear hole travels up the back in the secondary air
housing to the manifold located at the top and shoots out laterally to oxidize
the gases below the smoke exit.

The lower combustion chamber is lined with high temperature fi rebricks on 2
sides, the back and across the bottom, with a layer of fi bre baffl es at the top to
maintain a high temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing
with the preheated air from the secondary air manifold tube are easily ignited
and burned. The appliance sides and back are shielded to direct the heat
upwards and forwards into the room.

2100 ILLUSTRATED

Be sure to provide suffi cient combustion air. There are many other appliances in your home competing for air such
as: a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices, clothes dryer or a bathroom exhaust fan.

After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may
emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the fi rebox burning off. Open a window to suf-
fi ciently ventilate the room.

If outside air is utilized, you should never experience a shortage of
combustion air. If you choose not to utilize outside air and experi­ence draft or smoking problems, you may need to open a door, a
window or otherwise provide some method of supplying combus­tion air to the appliance.

1.6 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE LEGS OR PEDESTAL INSTALLED.

• Before beginning your installation, consult with your local building code agency or fi re offi cials and
insurance representative to ensure compliance.

• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a
window near the appliance.

• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before fi ring the appliance as the paint will be-
come soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on your
appliance burn your appliance moderately hot during the fi rst few fi res.

• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door
every 5-10 minutes.

• For the fi rst two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide
open for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel and fi re-
bricks. The initial heat output will be reduced while the moisture is being drawn from the appliance and
it will be necessary to build several hot fi res to remove this moisture. DURING THIS PROCESS DO

NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE APPLI­ANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.

Your appliance may be connected to a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chim­ney, it must comply with ULCS629 (Canada) or UL103 (USA) standards. It must therefore be a 6” HT Type
(2100°F) chimney. It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifi cations.
The manufacturer’s installation instructions and specifi ed clearances should always be followed in accordance
with local and national codes. In Canada the CSA B365 and the CSA C22.1 installation codes are to be fol­lowed. In the USA the ANSI NFPA 70 and ANSI NFPA 211 installation codes are to be followed.

Chimney and chimney connector must be in good condition and kept clean.

W415-0842 / 07.28.09

12

This room appliance must be connected to:
A. A chimney complying with the requirements for Type

HT chimneys in the Standard for Chimneys, Factory­Built, Residential Type and Building Heating Appli­ance, or

B. A code-approved masonry chimney with a fl ue liner.

Vent the stove into a masonry chimney or an ap­proved, insulated solid-fuel stainless-steel chimney
with as short and straight a length of 6” diameter
smoke pipe as possible. Connection to a masonry
chimney must be by a metal or masonry thimble ce­mented in place.

2.3.1 CHIMNEY CONNECTION

Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the appliance’s exhaust outlet. The
appliance pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum 24 gauge thickness. It is strictly
forbidden to use galvanized steel.

For installation of your chimney connector, the following recommendations may be useful.

TOWARD
APPLIANCE

MALE END OF
CONNECTOR
OR CHIMNEY
PIPE

FLUE GAS
DIRECTION

58.1

• The pipe must be short and straight. For optimum performance it is recommended that all horizontal
runs have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot, with the upper end of the section toward the chimney. For safe
and proper operation of the appliance, see “VENTING” instructions.

• To ensure a good draft, the total horizontal length of the connector should never exceed 8’ to 10’. In
the case of vertical installation, the total length of the connector can be longer and connected without
problem to the chimney at the ceiling level.

• There should never be more than two 90° elbows in the entire connector system. Never start with a
90° elbow. Always go up vertically for at least 2 feet from the fl ue before using a 90° elbow.

• The connector must not pass through any combustible material, nor may it pass through a concealed
space (such as an attic, roof space, or closet). If passing through a wall, ceiling, or into a masonry
chimney, use either chimney components listed for that specifi c use, or means acceptable to local
authorities having jurisdiction over the installation.

• A 6” diameter single wall stove pipe, used to connect the appliance to the chimney, must be installed
with the crimped end toward the appliance. This will ensure that the moisture which condenses from
the burning wood will fl ow back into the fi re chamber. Each joint in the stove pipe must be secured with
at least three sheet metal screws.

W415-0842 / 07.28.09

2.3.2 TYPICAL THROUGH THE CEILING

A. Move the stove into position with the fl ue centered, midpoint between two

joists to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center.

B. Cut and frame an opening in the ceiling to provide a 2” clearance between

the outside of the chimney and any combustible material. DO NOT FILL THIS

SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.

Nail headers between the joist for extra support.

Firestop spacers must be placed on the bot­tom of each framed opening in any fl oor or
ceiling that the chimney passes through.
If your chimney system is enclosed within
the attic area, a rafter radiation shield is
required.

2.3.5 TYPICAL EXISTING MASONRY

You can also install your appliance using your
existing masonry chimney. To do so, follow the
guidelines below. You may want to use a factory­built thimble, or construct your own brick thimble.
If you are using a masonry chimney, it is
important that it be built in compliance with
the specifi cations of the Building Code in
your region. It must normally be lined with
fi re clay bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed
together with fi re cement. (Round fl ues are
the most effi cient). The maximum fl ue size
is 8” x 8” square or 6” round.

BURNING YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE DOORS OPEN OR AJAR CREATES A FIRE HAZARD THAT MAY

RESULT IN A HOUSE AND OR CHIMNEY FIRE.

Y our T imberwolf EPA listed product is a Hi-tech appliance, designed with the most advanced technology . The appli­ance is extremely airtight.

The fi rst fi re(s) in your appliance will be diffi cult to get going and keep going with little amount of heat being gener-
ated. This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fi re brick. Allow 30 to 40 hours of hot fi res (temperatures in
excess of 500°F - 600°F) before your appliance will perform normally . During the break-in period (the fi rst 2 or 3 fi res)
create only small, hot fi res using kindling; this will allow the fi rebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed if small hairline cracks
develop in the fi rebrick. This is a normal occurrence and does not pose a safety hazard. The paint may also smell a
little for the fi rst few fi res as it cures and you may wish to open a door or window to alleviate the smell.

To start, a brisk fi re is required. Place loosely crumpled paper on the fl oor of the appliance and cover with dry kindling.
Open the air control fully by sliding control all the way to the right. Light the paper and leave the door slightly ajar (one
inch) until all kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk fi re, a hot coal bed must be established and sustained.

Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed with a shal­low trench between, so that the primary air can fl ow directly into this trench and ignite the fuel above. When the fi re
seems to be at its peak, medium sized logs may be added. Once these logs have caught fi re, carefully close the door.
(Closing the door too quickly after refueling will reduce the fi rebox temperature and result in an unsatisfactory burn.)
Remember it is more effi cient to burn medium sized wood, briskly, and refuel frequently than to load the appliance with
large logs that result in a smouldering, ineffi cient fi re and dirty glass.

As soon as the door is closed, you will observe a change in the fl ame pattern. The fl ames will get smaller and lazier
because less oxygen is getting into the combustion chamber. The fl ames, however , are more effi cient. The fl ames will
remain lazy but become larger again as soon as the fi rebricks have been heated thoroughly and the chimney becomes
heated and provides a good draft. At this point, the roaring fi re that you see when the door is opened is wastefully
drawing heated room air up the chimney , certainly not desirable. Always operate with the door fully closed once the
medium sized logs have caught fi re.

W415-0842 / 07.28.09

You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once the appliance is entirely hot,
it will burn very effi ciently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of orange coals in the fi rebox
and secondary fl ames fl ickering just below the top baffl es. You can safely fi ll the fi rebox with wood to the top of
the door and will get best burns if you keep the appliance pipe temperatures between 250 degrees Fahrenheit
(120 degrees Celsius) and 450 degrees Fahrenheit (270 degrees Celsius). A surface thermometer will help
regulate this.

Without an appliance thermometer, you are working blindly and have no idea of how the appliance is operating!
An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance.

Can’t get the fi re going? Use more kindling and paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and
there is suffi cient combustion air, the lack of suffi ciently dry quantities of small kindling is the problem. Thumb
size is a good gauge for small kindling diameter.

Can’t get heat out of the appliance? One of two things may have happened. The appliance door may have
been closed prematurely and the appliance itself has not reached optimum temperature. Reopen the door and/
or draft control to re-establish a brisk fi re. The other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is
sizzling wood and moisture being driven from the wood.

3.1 DRAFT

Draft is the force which moves air from the fi rebox up through the chimney.
The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length and diameter of
chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Adjusting
the air control all the way to the left reduces the temperature. The draft can be
adjusted from low to high by moving the handle from left to right. Inadequate
draft may cause back-puffi ng into the room through the appliance and chimney
connector points and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may
cause an excessive temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts
or chimney connectors or an uncontrollable burn which can lead to a chimney
fi re or permanent damage to the appliance. Do not operate your appliance for
longer than 30 minutes with the air control on “HIGH” (fully open).

25

AIR CONTROL

3.2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE DETECTORS

All homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one fi re extinguisher in a central location
known to all and at least one smoke detector in the room containing the appliance. If it sounds an alarm, cor­rect the cause but do not deactivate or relocate the smoke detector.

3.3 FUEL

When loading the appliance, ensure that the two upper fi bre baffl es are not lifted up and of f their ledge. For
maximum effi ciency, when the appliance is thoroughly hot, load it fully to the top of the door opening and burn at
a medium low setting. Maximum heat for minimum fuel (optimum burn) occurs when the appliance top tempera­ture is between 500°F (260°C) and 600°F (315°C). The bricks will be nearly all white and the glass mostly clear .
The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanliness of the glass are good indicators of your operating effi ciency. Not
enough heat is produced when only one or two pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not burn completely .
A minimum of three pieces are needed to encase a bed of coals that sustains the fi re.

NOTE: When loading the appliance, ensure to keep fuel back from the glass. If coals are to accumulate
on the front lip, there is a chance they will fall out when the door is opened.

Loosely stacked wood burns quicker than a tightly packed load. Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a steady
output of heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your household routine so that only enough coals are left to
start the next load. In the evening, load your appliance, at least, a half-hour before bed to ensure a good fi re, hot
enough to close the draft control for an overnight burn.

Burn only dry seasoned wood. It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Do not burn ocean beach wood.
Its salt content can produce a metal eating acid. When refueling open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage.
Use a pair of long gloves (barbecue gloves) when feeding the fi re. Because these appliances burn at the front,
they are clean and effi cient, but they are also very hot and gloves are useful. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to
use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store the wood within 3 feet (1m) of the appliance.

W415-0842 / 07.28.09

26

3.4 LIGHTING A FIRE

3.4.1 FLASH FIRE

A fl ash fi re is a small fi re burned quickly when you don’t need much heat. After your kindling has “caught”, load
at least 3 pieces of wood, stacked loosely. Burn with the draft control fully open or closed only slightly.

3.4.2 EXTENDED FIRE

Load your larger pieces of wood compactly, packed close enough to prevent the fl ames from penetrating it
completely.

After approximately 30 minutes, depending on the size of the load, close the draft control completely making
sure that the fi re is not extinguished.

DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE!

Overfi ring can occur by:

A. Burning large amounts of smaller wood pieces such as furniture scraps, skids or treated wood;
B. Vigorously burning large loads of wood with the draft control on “HIGH” (fully open) for long periods of

time (one or two hours).

4.0 MAINTENANCE

TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

!

WARNING

APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.

Check your chimney and chimney connector for creosote and soot buildup weekly until a safe frequency for
cleaning is established.
If accumulation is excessive, disconnect the appliance and clean both the chimney and the appliance. You
may want to call a professional chimney sweep to clean them. Both have to be cleaned at least once a year or
as often as necessary.

Remove fi bre baffl es and clean above them once a year.
Replace any broken bricks.

4.1 ASH REMOVAL PROCEDURES

IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF ASHES RESULT IN FIRES. DO NOT DISCARD ASHES IN CARDBOARD

BOXES, DUMP IN BACK YARDS, OR STORE IN GARAGES.

IF USING A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP ASHES, BE SURE THE ASHES ARE ENTIRELY COOLED. USING A

VACUUM TO CLEAN UP WARM ASHES COULD CAUSE A FIRE INSIDE THE VACUUM.

NEVER OPERATE YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE ASH REMOVAL OPENING NOT SEALED.

!

WARNING

Allow the ashes in your fi rebox to accumulate to a depth of two or three inches; they tend to burn themselves
up. When the fi re has burned down and cooled, remove any excess ashes but leave an ash bed approximately
1 inch deep on the fi rebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fi tting lid. The closed contain-
er of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible fl oor or ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes 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.

W415-0842 / 07.28.09

4.2 CREOSOTE FORMATION AND REMOVAL

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. These vapours condense in the relatively cooler chimney fl ue of a slow burning fi re and when
ignited, make an extremely hot fi re. So, the smoke pipe and chimney should be inspected monthly during the
heating season to determine if a buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fi re.

IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE:

4.2.1 Have a well understood plan for evacuation and a place outside for everyone to meet. Prepare to

evacuate to ensure everyone’s safety.

4.2.2 Close air inlet on appliance.

4.2.3 Call local fi re department. Have a fi re extinguisher handy. Contact local authorities for further informa-

tion on how to handle a chimney fi re.

4.2.4 After the chimney fi re is out, clean and inspect the chimney for stress and cracks prior to lighting an-
other fi re. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof.

4.3 RUNAWAY OR CHIMNEY FIRE

27

Runaway fi res can be the result of three major factors:

4.3.1 Using incorrect fuel, or small fuel pieces which wood normally be used as kindling.

4.3.2 Leaving the door ajar too long and creating extreme temperatures as the air rushes in the open door.

4.3.3 Burning your appliance with the ash plug not securely seated.

SOLUTIONS:

4.3.1 Do not burn treated or processed wood, coal,charcoal, coloured paper or cardboard.

4.3.2 Be careful not to over-fi re the appliance by leaving the door open too long after initial start-up. A ther-

mometer on the chimney connector and/or appliance top helps.

4.3.3 Always operate the appliance with the ash plug properly installed.

4.4 CHIMNEY CLEANING

For serious wood burners, chimney cleaning must be done as needed to avoid chimney fi res; the venting sys-
tems for controlled combustion appliances may need cleaning as often as once a month. These rates, how­ever, depend on the burning habits of the individual operating the appliance. For example, it is possible to clog
a solid fuel appliance chimney in a few days if slow, smoldering fi res are burned and the chimney is cold. Wood
burners who consistently operate their appliances with appropriately hot fi res may infrequently have signifi cant
creosote accumulations in the chimney.

Certain items and considerations are important in chimney cleaning:

• Proper tools should be used, including a brush specifi cally designed for chimney cleaning.

• The chimney connector and dampers as well as the chimney should be cleaned.

• The appliance’s fi rebox and baffl e system should be cleaned if needed.

• The chimney should be inspected and repairs made if needed, preferably by a qualifi ed chimney
sweep or mason.

W415-0842 / 07.28.09

4.5 CARE OF GLASS

If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and / or
blemishes may result. Normally a hot fi re will clean the glass.
The most common reasons for dirty glass include: not using
suffi cient fuel to get the fi replace thoroughly hot, using green or
wet wood, closing the draft so far that there is insuffi cient air for
complete combustion.
If it is necessary to clean the glass, buff lightly with a clean dry
cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.

DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! Clean the glass after the fi rst 10 hours of operation with a
recommended fi replace glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required.

The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest or fall against it and always close the door gently.

NEVER FORCE IT SHUT!

If the glass should ever crack or break while the fi re is burning, do not open the door until the fi re is out and do
not operate the fi replace again until the glass has been replaced, available from your Authorized dealer. DO

NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.

4.7.4 Place the glass with the fi berglass gasket in position and

NOTE: For replacement glass, size, thickness and specifi ca-
tions see “REPLACEMENTS” section.

4.8 WOOD

Fuel for the appliance must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles (heat sensitive
material). NEVER STORE WOOD IN THE ASH PAN COMPARTMENT.

Burn only dry, clean unpainted wood that has been seasoned. It produces more heat and less soot or creo­sote. Freshly cut wood contains about 50% moisture while after proper seasoning only about 20% of the water
remains. As wood is burned, this water boils off consuming energy that should be used in heating. The wetter
the wood, the less heat is given off and the more creosote is produced.

Both hardwood and softwood burn equally well in this appliance but hardwood is denser, will weigh more per
cord and burn a little slower and longer. Firewood should be split, stacked in a manner that air can get to all
parts of it and covered in early spring to be ready for burning that fall. Dry fi rewood has cracks in the end grain.
Cut the wood so that it will fi t horizontally, front to back, making for easier loading and less of a likelihood that
the wood will roll onto the glass. Ideal lengths of wood are approximately 12”.

DO’S

• Build a hot fi re.

• Use only dry wood.

• Several pieces of medium sized wood are

• Clean chimney regularly.

6.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING

SMOKES WHEN DOOR IS OPEN

Always fully open damper before opening door, is the brick baffl e positioned correctly? Has the chimney been
suffi ciently heated to establish a proper draft? Is there a negative air pressure surrounding the appliance?

APPLIANCE EMITS ODOUR

Paint is curing, see “GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS” section.

DIRTY GLASS

Make sure the damper is not closed too far and burn smaller, hotter fi res. Also make sure the wood is well
seasoned and not wet.

POOR DRAFT

If your appliance is not drafting properly the chimney may be the problem. Have the chimney relined to the
proper size or extend the length of the chimney, see “DRAFT” section. Does the chimney and chimney connec­tor need cleaning?

WOOD BURNS TOO FAST

The door gasket may be leaking. Check for leaks and replace if needed. The air control may need to be ad­justed (closed down). Check to see if the ash plug is properly seated.

POOR HEAT OUTPUT

Make sure the wood is well seasoned and not wet, see “FUEL” section. The appliance needs to fi nish curing.
