Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater 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® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Connecting Flue Pipes Prefabricated Double-Wall Insulated Chimney Connector pipes should meet the requirements of the building regulations. This can be achieved by the use connecting fluepipes included in the following categories: Tile Lined Masonry Chimney ST241 Fig. 2 If in sound condition and approved for use, either a masonry or a prefabricated chimney may be used.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Single-Wall Connector The single-wall chimney connector should be made of 24 gauge or heavier steel, and must have a minimum internal diameter of 152 mm (6”) for model 2479CE. Install single-wall chimney connector not less than 450 mm (18”) from the ceiling. In cathedral ceiling installations, extend the prefabricated chimney downward to within 2.4 m (8’) of the stove. The entire chimney connector should be exposed and accessible for inspection and cleaning.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Securing the Connector to a Masonry Chimney The Dutchwest Convection heater may be connected to either a freestanding masonry chimney or a masonry fireplace chimney. connector enters the chimney.

Damper Plate is Removed or Locked in Open Position Observe Miniumum Clearances DO NOT CONNECT THE HEATER TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Hearth rugs do not satisfy the requirements for floor protection. Fireplace Installations The Dutchwest Model 2479CE has a reversible flue collar to allow for either top exit or rear exit installations. You may install your Dutchwest Model 2479CE in an existing fireplace as a fireplace insert with no legs, or with the standard legs attached.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater 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® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Assembly Your convection heater requires some assembly. Follow the directions carefully and refer to the parts diagram at the back of this manual. Bottom Heat Shield Unpack the Parts Remove the bottom heat shield strapped to the top of the stove and all loose parts from the firebox and the ash pan. Check to make sure all the parts are included and intact.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater 6. Reposition the stove so the other front corner overhangs the pallet and remove the leg bolt from the bottom of the stove. Align the leg with the bolt hole in the bottom of the stove, and attach it with the bolt and washer. Tighten securely. 7. Reposition the stove so the first rear leg can be attached. Attach the leg using the procedure described in Step 6. (Fig. 17) 8. Reposition the stove so the remaining leg can be attached.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Operation Heater Controls and Features Air Control The Dutchwest Convection Heater Model 2479CE has a control that regulates 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 and prolongs the overall burn time. The Air Control Lever is located at the lower front edge of the left side (looking from the front of the stove). (Fig.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Damper Function Successful Wood Burning The Damper is operated by moving the handle on the upper left side of the stove. (Fig. 22) 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 travel through a secondary combustion chamber at the rear of the stove before flowing into the chimney. Woodburning is often said to be more of an art than a science.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Use the Air Control Settings that Work Best for You No single control setting 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® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Lighting the Fire Step 1. Open the stove damper. Open the primary air control fully. Step 2. Lay some crumpled newspapers in the stove. Place six or eight finger-width size pieces of dry kindling on the paper. On the kindling, lay two or three larger sticks of split dry wood approximately 25-51 mm (1-2”) thick. You’ll soon find that this stove is HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Remove Ashes Frequently Safe Ash Handling Wear heavy stove gloves when removing ashes. Check the ash compartment before reloading the stove. If the ash pan is nearly full, empty the pan. Before replacing the ash pan, clear away any ash that may have spilled over the sides and back of the pan. Ashes may contain hot coals and must be treated with extreme care. Ashes should be placed outdoors in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Maintenance Below you will find important information on general care, inspection and maintenance of your Dutchwest stove. Should it become necessary, use only replacement parts recommended by your authorized dealer.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater 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. All rope-type gasketing used in the Dutchwest Convection Heater is made of fiberglass.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater 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® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater • Inspect for and remove ash build-up behind the combustion package. This should be done in conjunction with annual cleaning of the chimney connector since this inspection is most conveniently done through the flue collar opening. Inspect the passages to either side of the combustion package (a mirror will be helpful) and vacuum away ash using a flexible vacuum hose inserted into each passage.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater is worse if the chimney is located outside the home or if the chimney flue has a cross-sectional volume much larger than the stove outlet. Steel Chimney Most factory-made ‘Class A’ steel chimneys have a layer of insulation around the inner flue. This insulation keeps the smoke warm and protects the surrounding structure from the high flue temperatures.
Dutchwest® Non-Catalytic Convection Heater Creosote is a by-product of low-temperature stove operation, weak draft, or both. It is a tar that results when unburned gases condense inside the flue system at temperatures below 143° C (290˚ F). Creosote is volatile and can generate a chimney fire. All of the installation characteristics that adversely affect chimney draft also promote creosote condensation.
