Dutchwest Installation SAFETY NOTICE: IF YOUR DUTCHWEST CONVECTION HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR SAFETY, FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
Dutchwest Prefabricated Chimneys These should be an internal diameter of 150 mm (6”) and be of the twin wall insulated construction that has been approved for solid fuel use (e.g. Rite Vent ICS of ICID Lite Chimney Systems). Diameters over 200 mm (8”) are not recommended due to the large cross-section causing excessive cooling of the flue gases. A horizontal connector run should be inclined 1/4” per foot (20 mm per meter) from the stove toward the chimney.
Dutchwest Double-Wall Connector Information on assembling and installing double-wall connectors is provided by the manufacturer of the double-wall pipe. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions exactly. Most manufacturers of prefabricated double-wall insulated chimneys also offer doublewall connector pipes. Using a chimney and connector pipe from the same manufacturer helps simplify the assembly and installation. 2.
Dutchwest Securing the Connector to a Masonry Chimney The Dutchwest Convection heaters may be connected to either a freestanding masonry chimney or a masonry fireplace chimney. Thimble Sleeve Flue Elbow Thimble Keep Sleeve End Flush with Flue Tile Freestanding Installations If the chimney connector must pass through a combustible wall to reach the chimney, follow the recommendations in the wall pass-through section that follows.
Dutchwest Fireplace Installations Through the Fireplace The Convection heaters may be installed either without legs* as a fireplace insert, or with standard legs attached - depending on the safety regulations that apply to your situation, the height of the fireplace opening and your own preference. For either situation, the chimney connector/positive connection kit extends back from the stove, enters the fireplace cavity, and turns upward.
Dutchwest Floor Protection for Fireplace Installations Hearth rugs do not satisfy the requirements for floor protection. You may install your Dutchwest Convection Heater in an existing fireplace as a fireplace insert with no legs,* or with the standard legs attached. To install the heater without legs as a fireplace insert, the floor must be completely noncombustible, such as an unpainted concrete floor over earth.
Dutchwest Clearances As with any solid fuel heating stove, extremely high surface temperatures can occur, particularly in the event of uncontrolled operation, e.g. if the doors are inadvertently left open. It is crucial that sufficient clearances are allowed to any combustible surfaces, e.g. wooden mantels or lintels, and to timber framed (studded) walls even if they are faced with noncombustible board.

Dutchwest Assembly Your convection heater requires some assembly. Follow the directions carefully and refer to the parts diagram at the back of this manual. Left Leg Door Handle Holder Unpack the Parts Remove all loose parts from the firebox and the ash pan. Check to make sure all the parts are included and intact.
Dutchwest Operation Heater Controls and Features Air Controls The Dutchwest Convection Heater has two air controls that regulate the amount of air drawn into the stove. Generally, more air entering the stove allows the fire to burn hotter and faster, while less air decreases heat output while prolonging the overall burn time. The Primary Air control lever is located at the lower front edge of the left side (looking from the front of the stove). (Fig.
Dutchwest Damper Function Burn Only High-Quality Fuel The Damper is operated by moving the handle on the upper left side of the stove. (Fig. 19) It has two positions: OPEN, to start the fire and load fuel, and CLOSED, for greatest efficiency and heat. When the damper is closed, exhaust gases pass through an insulated catalytic burner before flowing into the chimney. Your heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Do not burn other fuels.
Dutchwest Use the Air Control Settings that Work Best for You Primary Air Catalyst Air No single combination of control settings will fit every situation. Each installation will differ depending on the quality of the fuel, the amount of heat desired, and how long you wish the fire to burn. Control settings also depend on your particular installation’s “draft,” or the force that moves air from the stove up through the chimney.
Dutchwest How to Build and Maintain a Wood Fire Loading Wood Your Dutchwest Convection Heater accepts wood from both the front and side. Front loading is useful for kindling a new fire and adding an occasional log, however, we recommend side loading as most convenient when adding several logs at a time. Always be certain that the stove damper is open before opening either door. WARNING: OPERATE YOUR DUTCHWEST CONVECTION HEATER ONLY WITH THE DOORS FULLY CLOSED EXCEPT WHEN REFUELING.
Dutchwest Further suggestions... Safe Ash Handling * If the charcoal bed is relatively thick and your fuel is well-seasoned, it is possible to add fresh fuel (smaller pieces first), close the door and damper, and reset the air control within five minutes. * When refueling, avoid breaking the charcoal bed into small pieces. Large pieces of charcoal help the fire recover quickly. * The glass will remain cleaner if refueling is done when the previous load of fuel has burned down to hot, glowing coals.
Dutchwest Maintenance Below you will find important information on general care, inspection and maintenance of your Vermont Castings stove. Should it become necessary, use only replacement parts recommended by your authorized dealer. Every spring, at the end of the heating season, perform a thorough cleaning, inspection and repair. The stove and chimney system should be inspected and maintained by a qualified engineer.
Dutchwest 2. Wearing safety goggles, use a wire brush or the tip of a screwdriver to clean the channel of any remaining cement or bits of gasket. 3. Apply a thin bead of stove cement in the newlycleaned groove. 4. Lay the gasket into the groove. Wait until you are a couple inches from the end before you cut it. 5. Test the gasket by closing the door on a slip of paper as described above. Adjust the gasket in any areas where an inadequate seal is evident.
Dutchwest Cleaning the Chimney System The chimney system is composed of the chimney and the pipe that connects the stove to the chimney. Inspect the chimney and chimney connector at least twice monthly, and clean if necessary. When you first begin using the stove, check daily for creosote — a substance that can look like either thick tar or black, crisp flakes. Experience will show how often you need to clean to be safe. The frequency may even vary during the year.
Dutchwest The Chimney Connector When to Suspect A Combustor Problem The stove and chimney system should be inspected and maintained by a qualified engineer and include the following: There are two ways to evaluate the performance of your stove’s combustor. TWO WEEKS: • Inspect the chimney connector and chimney. Clean if necessary. TWO MONTHS: • Inspect the chimney and chimney connector. Pay particular attention to the horizontal runs of chimney connector, and the elbows. Clean the system if necessary.
Dutchwest Remove and Inspect the Combustor • Wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and gloves. • Remove the four bolts that secure the stove top plate. There are two each on both the left and the right side, just under the top plate overhang. With the bolts removed, lift the top. Remove these bolts ST443 ST443 top plate The combustor is located beneath thebolts removable refractory package. 7/10/00 djt Fig. 26 Remove four bolts securing stove top plate. • Carefully remove the refractory package.
Dutchwest Catalytic Combustor In any chemical reaction, including the combustion process, there are certain conditions which must be met before the reaction can take place. For example, a reaction may require a certain temperature, or a certain concentration of the reactants (the combustion gases and oxygen), or a certain amount of time. Catalysts, though not changed themselves during the reaction, have the ability to act at a molecular level to change these requirements.
Dutchwest Draft Management Your stove is only one part of a system that includes the chimney, the operator, the fuel, and the home. The other parts of the system will affect how well the stove works. When there is a good match between all the parts, the system works well. Wood stove operation depends on natural (unforced) draft. Natural draft occurs when exhaust gas is hotter (and therefore lighter) than the outdoor air at the top of the chimney.
Dutchwest Single Venting Your stove requires a dedicated flue. Do not connect the stove to a flue used by any other appliance. Chimney draft is a natural form of energy and follows the path of least resistance. If the stove is vented to a flue that also serves an open fireplace or another appliance, the draft will also pull air in through those avenues. The additional air flow will lower flue temperatures, reduce draft strength and promote creosote development; overall stove performance will suffer.
