TIPS ON WOOD HEATING Wood is a renewable energy. It is also a very clean heat source when used with appliances that are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a standard accepted in Canada as well. EPA-certified wood stoves are different than conventional wood stoves. Burning with an EPA- certified wood stove may therefore require that you modify some of your heating habits. To get the most satisfaction out of your new wood-heating system, please make sure you go

SECTION 1.0 - INSTALLATION When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the Classic EPA wood stove is suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in residential installations. The Classic EPA wood stove is not intended for installation in a bedroom or a mobile home. In Canada, the CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment and the CSA C22.1 Canadian National Electrical Code are to be followed in the absence of local code requirements.

Clearances to any combustibles when measured directly from the floor protector to the ceiling must be a minimum of 84" (2134 mm). Clearances to any combustibles when measured directly from the front of the stove must be a minimum of 48" (1219 mm). The stove must also be placed so as to maintain the minimum clearances to combustible walls specified for each type of connector used. See Table 1.3 below for all clearance measures. Refer to Figure 1.3 for a diagram of each of the measur

1.3.1 Reduced clearances using shielding You may decrease the minimum clearances to combustible materials by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. Those heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and must be made of a heat-resistant or heat-tolerant material. Note : Walls and ceiling on the vertical and horizontal plan of the pipe connectors must be protected if the clearances of 18’’ are not met. Consult the table below:

1.4 FLOOR PROTECTOR If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it must be guarded by a non-combustible material extending at least 18” (300mm) from the front and 8” (200mm) from the sides and the back of the firebox., as shown in Figure 1.4 below. Please note that a floor protection is required with the pedestal models for spark and ash shielding, but not for limiting floor temperatures from the radiant heat of the stove. The stove was designed and safety tested

SECTION 2.0 CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM) 2.1 DEFINITIONS For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions: • A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimney, which attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house. • A chimney can be a masonry chimney (of masonry construction with an inside liner), or a factory built chimney. can be a double walled chimney (two concentric pipes with insulation - • A fac

If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code. It must be lined with fire clay bricks, or clay tiles, sealed together with fire cement, or have a listed solid fuel burning stainless steel liner. Round chimneys are the most efficient. The interior diameter of the chimney should be identical to the stove's smoke exhaust. A chimney which is too small may cause draft problems, since it may not have the r

FIGURE 2.2 Minimum Height of the Chimney 2.2.1 Step by step installation of your factory-built chimney The way to install your chimney may vary from one chimney manufacturer to another. The instructions contained in this manual are based on the recommendations of chimney manufacturers whose products are sold at many North American retailers of wood stoves and related heating accessories.

FIGURE 2.2.1 (A) Typical installation through the wall 1- Start by positioning your stove where you would like it to go, taking into account the minimum clearances to combustible material. You will then be able to determine where the chimney will pass through the wall. You will probably have to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the studs. You can use a stud finder to locate the studs. Use a spoke saw or jig saw to cut a hole, remem

2- Once the opening completed, you need to frame in the area to allow for the installation of a wall thimble. A wall thimble is not required for installations through concrete walls. 3- You must first secure the wall thimble into the exterior wall surface. Then, do the same inside and fasten the trim plate. 4- Then, from outside the building, slide a short chimney length (attached to the tee) through the wall thimble. Th

5- You can now install the wall support. Simply slide the wall support up to the tee, ensuring that the adapter on the support engages with the female coupler on the bottom of the tee. When the wall support is level and properly positioned, you can use lag bolts to secure it into the wall studs. TO complete the installation, install an insulated tee plug below the wall support. 6- You can start to add chimney sections. We recommend that you also use loc

Typical installation through the ceiling FIGURE 2.2.1 (B) Typical Installation Through the Ceiling 1- Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to mark the ceiling directly above your stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the joists. You can use a stud finder to locate the joists. You also need to take into account the minimum clearances to combustible materials. After you h

2- Before you install the ceiling support, you need to frame the area. 3- To install the ceiling support, just slide the assembly into the framed opening from below. Once you ensure that the finishing plate is flush with the underside of the ceiling and assembly is level, secure it with screws. 4- Once the support is secure, you can begin to assemble the chimney by lowering the first section into the support.

6- Now, you can add additional chimney sections. Continue adding chimney lengths until a height of about 2 feet below the next ceiling level. An attic insulation shield must be installed where a chimney passes from a lower living space into an upper living space or attic space. It is designed to keep insulation materials away from the chimney. A second attic insulation shield must be installed if your chimney passes from a lower living space into an upper living space.
