• 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
become 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 rebricks. 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 OVER FIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE
APPLIANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.

2.4 GENERAL INFORMATION

DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE PEDESTAL INSTALLED.

Your appliance has been 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:

!

WARNING

The chimney vent system used on your wood burning appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily fl ow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too
short or too long can also have an adverse affect on the fl ow of exhaust through it. The wood burning appliance
and chimney vent system also require a suffi cient supply of combustion air not only to support the combustion in the
combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it so it can fl ow freely up through the vent system and out
into the atmosphere. It is the correct balance of combustion air and the chimney vent system that will ensure the
appliance provides you with its optimum performance.

Combustion air enters through two holes in the bottom
which can be adjusted by a single air control. Air from
the front hole goes up on either side of the door into a
preheating airwash located across the top and then down
the window to feed the fi re and also to ensure that the
glass remains clean. Air from this hole also feeds directly
into the combustion chamber at hearth level. 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 combustion chamber is lined with high temperature
fi rebrick 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.

Your appliance may be hooked up with 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"
(152mm) HT Type (2100°F / 1150°C) 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.

W415-1473 / 04.22.15

4.1.1 CHIMNEY CONNECTION

Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the appliance’s exhaust outlet. The

EN

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.

A 6" (152mm) 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.

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

• The chimney connector must be short and straight. For optimum performance it is recommended that
all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” (6mm) rise per foot, with the upper end of the section toward
the chimney. For safe and proper operation of the appliance, see “INSTALLATION” instructions.

• To insure a good draft, the total horizontal length of the connector should never exceed 8' to 10' (2m to
3m). 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 whole connector and chimney system. Never
start with a 90° elbow. Always go up vertically for at least 2' (0.6m) from the fl ue collar 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.

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

Type HT chimneys in the Standard for Chimneys,
Factory-Built, 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” (152.4mm)
diameter chimney connector as possible. Connection

to a masonry chimney must be by a metal or masonry

thimble cemented in place.

NOT BE ALTERED. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES TO ALTER THIS

SETTING OR OTHERWISE OPERATE THIS WOOD APPLIANCE IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.

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 generated.
This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fi re brick. During the break-in period (the fi rst 2 or 3 fi res) create
only small, 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.

W415-1473 / 04.22.15

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°F (120°C) and
450°F (270°C). A surface thermometer will help regulate this.

Without a appliance thermometer, you are working blindly and have no idea of how the appliance is operating!
An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance and should be located 18" (457mm) above the fl ue
collar. Install the thermometer according to manufacturers instructions.

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.

7.1 OPTIMUM BURN METHOD

For optimal emissions performance and effi ciency follow these simple guidelines when using your appliance:

A. Maintain a 2" (51mm) deep, hot, glowing red coal bed.

B. Burn dry seasoned wood with less than 20% moisture content and burn so that the glass door remains

clean.

C. A stove thermometer 18" (457mm) up on the single wall stove pipe should indicate 350°F (176°C) as

an average temperature.

D. Maintain a minimal trace of smoke coming from the chimney when the appliance is burning as

intended.

E. Inspect and replace all necessary components such as gaskets, manifolds, glass and other

components which may affect the overall appliance performance.

F. Ensure an adequate draft to control burn rate and temperature.

Refer to “OPERATION” and “MAINTENANCE” sections for detailed information.

7.2 AIR CONTROL

THIS WOOD APPLIANCE HAS A MANUFACTURER-SET MINIMUM LOW BURN RATE THAT MUST

NOT BE ALTERED. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES TO ALTER THIS

SETTING OR OTHERWISE OPERATE THIS WOOD APPLIANCE IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.

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 including the amount of heat generated by the fi re which
can be measured by an appliance thermometer.

Adjusting the air control regulates the temperature. The draft can be
adjusted from a low burn rate with the handle in fully, to a fast burn rate
with the handle fully out.

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 draft control on “HIGH” (fully open).

WARNING

DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES, OR IN THE SPACE REQUIRED

FOR RE-FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL.

BURNING WET, UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHEN

IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.

When loading the appliance, ensure that the two upper fi bre baffl es are not lifted up and off 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 with 20% moisture content. 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.

7.5 LIGHTING A FIRE

7.5.1 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.
