MODEL: AC2000 CONFORMS TO UL STD 1482 and CERTIFIED TO ULC STD S627 WASHINGTON STATE APPROVED MOBILE HOME APPROVED (U.S. ONLY) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Certified to comply with 2015 particulate emissions standards. CAUTION! Please read this entire manual before you install or use your new room heater. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve purchased a heater from North America’s oldest manufacturer of wood burning products. By heating with wood you’re helping to CONSERVE ENERGY! Wood is our only Renewable Energy Resource. Please do your part to preserve our wood supply. Plant at least one tree each year. Future generations will thank you. The instructions pertaining to the installation of your wood stove comply with UL-1482 and ULC-S627 standards.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION You will need a drill with a 1/8” bit to install sheet metal screws into connector pipe. A 5/16” socket/wrench or screw driver to install pedestal trim, room air deflector, and blower assembly described below. A 1/2” socket/wrench to install flue collar. A non-combustible floor protector as specified in this manual. All chimney and chimney connector components required for your particular chimney installation. For mobile homes, see page 13.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Blower Assembly THE BLOWER ASSEMBLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE SOURCE OF ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE INSTALLATION. THE BLOWER ASSEMBLY IS INTENDED FOR USE ONLY WITH A STOVE THAT IS MARKED TO INDICATE SUCH USE. DO NOT ROUTE THE SUPPLY CORD NEAR OR ACROSS HOT SURFACES! Step 1. Fix the assembly to the back of the stove with the four screws provided. Ash Pan Assembly Remove ash pan from firebox.
INSTALLATION SAFETY NOTICE • IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. • CONSULT YOUR MUNICIPAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT PERMITS, RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA. • USE SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE ROOM WHERE YOUR STOVE IS INSTALLED. • KEEP FURNITURE AND DRAPES WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE.
FLOOR PROTECTOR Your wood stove should be placed on a 1 inch, non-combustible surface with a k factor of 0.84. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value. The R value for the required board is 1.03. If there is a horizontal section of chimney connector, the floor protector should go under it and 2 inches beyond each side To calculate R-Values for alternative methods, see ALTERNATE FLOOR PROTECTOR CALCULATIONS section in this manual.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES It is of utmost importance that the clearances to combustible materials be strictly adhered to during installation of the stove. Refer to the tables below : Dimension A Backwall to Stove Inch 16 mm 406 B C D E F 18 12 21.5 30 24 457 305 546 762 610 Sidewall to Stove Wall to corner (Angled Installation) Backwall to Flue Sidewall to Flue Wall to Flue (Angled Installation) • Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7’ (2.13m) in all cases.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE) Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove outlet (6”). If this is not the case, we recommend you contact your dealer in order to insure there will be no problem with the draft. The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or 0.53 mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel. Your smoke pipe should be assembled in such a way that the male section (crimped end) of the pipe faces down.
CHIMNEY Your wood stove may be hooked up with a 6” factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or CSA-B365 standard; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Take into account the chimney’s location to insure it is not too close to neighbors or in a valley which may cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions.
FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer.
MASONRY CHIMNEY Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed.
COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PASS-THROUGHS Method A. 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles.
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR Your wood stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake which is necessary for a mobile home. This type of installation is also required in air tight houses and houses with negative pressure problems. You can purchase this option through your heater dealer. Make sure to specify the part number mentioned in this booklet. Installation instructions are supplied with the air intake kit. Outside combustion air may be required if : 1. Mobile Home Installations 2.
WOODSTOVE UTILIZATION This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods. DO NOT BURN: 1. Garbage; 9. Manure or animal remains; 2. Lawn clippings or yard waste; 10. Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water saturated 3. Materials containing rubber, including tires; materials; 4. Materials containing plastic; 11. Unseasoned wood; or 5.
TESTING YOUR WOOD When the stove is thoroughly warmed, place one piece of split wood (about five inches in diameter) parallel to the door on the bed of red embers.Keep the air control full open by pulling on it and close the door. If ignition of the piece is accomplished within 90 seconds from the time if was placed in the stove, your wood is correctly dried. If ignition takes longer, your wood is damp.
WARNINGS • NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR STOVE. IF ANY PART OF THE STOVE STARTS TO GLOW RED, OVER FIRING IS HAPPENING. READJUST THE AIR INTAKE CONTROL AT A LOWER SETTING. • THE INSTALLATION OF A LOG CRADLE or GRATES IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN YOUR WOOD STOVE. BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON FIREBRICK. • NEVER PUT WOOD ABOVE THE FIREBRICK LINING OF THE FIREBOX. • ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATER.
TO PREVENT CREOSOTE BUILD UP • Always burn dry wood. This allows clean burns and higher chimney temperatures, therefore less creosote deposit. • Leave the air control full open for about 5 min. every time you reload the stove to bring it back to proper operating temperatures. The secondary combustion can only take place if the firebox is hot enough. • Always check for creosote deposit once every two months and have your chimney cleaned at least once a year.
MAINTENANCE Your wood stove is a high efficiency stove and therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform a visual inspection of the stove every time it is emptied, in order to insure that no parts have been damaged, in which case repairs must be performed immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe periodically for creosote buildup or obstructions. GLASS • Inspect and clean the glass regularly in order to detect any cracks.
