2.4 DRAFT

Your E.P.A Enerzone stove’s performance will be optimised if it is installed with a chimney (flue)

system that provides an adequate draft. The draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up

through the chimney and is predominantly affected by the height and diameter of the chimney, as

well as the stack temperatures of the stove. If you test the draft using a pressure gauge, the reading

should be between .05 - .07 inches of water column (w.c.) at a medium-high fire. A draft measure of

less than .05" w.c. will cause operational difficulties while too much draft (greater than .10" w.c.)

will result in over-firing of the stove. This can result in excessive operating temperatures.

2.5 OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR

It is recommended to install 5’’ outside air intake in the room where the stove is located or nearby.

Solution 1.6 & 1.8 models are mobile home approved. For this type of installation, it’s mandatory to

use and install an outside air intake connected directly to the stove.

The following are signs that a fresh air kit may be required:

• Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke rollouts occur, wood burns poorly, or back-draft

occurs whether or not there is combustion present.

• Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as fireplaces or other heating appliances,

smell, do not operate properly, suffer smoke rollouts when opened, or back-draft occurs

whether or not there is combustion present.

• Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.

• The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapour barrier and tight fitting windows and/or has

any powered devices that exhaust house air.

• There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.

• A ventilation system is installed in the house.

Warning for use in a MOBILE HOME:

• DO NOT INSTALL IN A BEDROOM.

• THE STOVE MUST BE PROVIDED WITH OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR.

• THE SRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME FLOOR, WALL, CEILING / ROOF MUST BE

MAINTAINED.

• THE STOVE MUST BE BOLTED TO THE FLOOR.

• INSTALL ACCORDING TO 24 CFR, PART 3280 (HUD)

• USE A CHIMNEY CERTIFIED FOR WOODBURNING UL 103 OU ULC S629, TYPE HT (2100°F).
