INSTALLATION SAFETY NOTICE: IF THIS UNIT IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY AND PROTECTION, FOLLOW ALL OF THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. INSTALLATION SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS FOR RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTIONS REQUIRED IN YOUR AREA. IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVER-FIRE. SEE “DO NOT OVER-FIRE YOUR UNIT” IN THE “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS” SECTION. CAUTION – Hot Surfaces: Keep children away.
Connector pipe should be (at minimum) 24-gauge steel and 18 inches (457.2 mm) from a combustible wall or ceiling. This unit is tested with single-wall pipe only. IMPORTANT: Be sure to refer to the data label and other markings on the appliance for additional information, including clearances to combustibles.
WHY THE CORRECT FLUE SIZE IS IMPORTANT: 6” “Draft” is the force that moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An uncontrolled burn or a glowing red part or chimney connector can indicate excessive draft.
INSTALLATION Venting Introduction This wood stove operates on a natural draft system, in which the chimney system pulls air through the stove. This unit must be installed in accordance with the following detailed descriptions of venting techniques; not installing the stove in accordance with the details listed here can result in poor stove performance, property damage, bodily injury or death. Avoid make‐shift compromises when installing the venting system.
Installation Diagrams and Thermostat Wiring This appliance requires a masonry or pre-manufactured chimney listed to UL103HT, sized correctly. 18” Min. 18” Min. 18” Min Figure 2 – Installation into a HT Pipe Flue System LEFT – Through the Roof RIGHT – Through the Wall IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT connect this furnace to an external thermostat. Figure 1 – Installation into a Masonry Flue NOTE: See notes on OUTSIDE AIR, page 11. See FLOOR AND WALL PROTECTION sections and data label on stove for all clearances.
FLOOR AND WALL PROTECTION Floor Protection There is no protection required if your floor is constructed of a noncombustible material such as concrete. If your floor is constructed of a combustible material such as hardwood, carpet or linoleum some type of floor protection will be required. When selecting the required floor protection it is important that you install a U.L. approved board.
Outside Air Connection It is recommended, especially in air-tight homes, to supply the combustion air into the unit from outside the dwelling. This can be done by running a thin gauge 3-inch (76.2 mm) pipe (flex or rigid) from the air inlet pipe located on the rear of the stove through the floor or wall (measure pipe to ensure you obtain the correct size). The outside end of this pipe should be covered in some manner (i.e. screen) to keep it clear of foreign matter.
THE FUNCTION OF THE ADD-ON FURNACE The Add-On Furnace is designed to be a supplemental hot air heating system that will connect to your existing heating system. The furnace will operate independently of your existing system, while using the same hot air ducts that your present furnace uses. The furnace comes standard with a 850 cfm (part number BM-1376) blower that pushes hot air up both sides and across the top of the unit through an inner-duct chamber built around the firebox.
BLOWER AND THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION Blower Installation The BM-1376 blower will be mounted to the opening that is located at the bottom on the rear of the stove. The blower will simply mount to the opening with the five screws that are installed on the unit. NOTE: The heat circulation blower on this furnace requires periodic lubrication; this lubrication should be performed no less than every three months of normal operation.
OPERATION Building a Fire – Following these guidelines will help ensure a proper fire, as well as helping minimize visible emissions. WARNING: Do not operate unit with bottom (ash) pan open. Operating unit with ash pan open can cause over-firing and damage the unit, and will void any warranty. Except as specified in “Operating Instructions,” do not operate unit with main door open. BURN WOOD ONLY! CAUTION: Do not use a grate or elevate the fire. Build the wood fire directly on the bricks.
Flat spots on the painted surface are normal. Shiny spots on the painted surface (before burning) are normal. Call Technical Support at (800) 245-6489 if you have any questions. BUILDING A FIRE 1. Open the air inlet control fully (NOTE: The control is located under the ash drawer. Pulling out on the control opens it). 2. Place a small amount of crumpled paper in the stove. 3. Cover the paper with a generous amount of kindling in a “teepee” shape, and a few small pieces of wood. 4.
DANGER- RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUTION NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IN USE. ADDITIONALLY, NEVER APPLY FIRE-STARTER TO ANY HOT SURFACE OR EMBERS IN THE STOVE. DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. DO NOT BURN FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
To maintain proper airflow, regularly remove ashes from your wood-burning appliance into a metal container with a cover and store outdoors. Safe Wood-burning Practices Once your wood-burning appliance is properly installed, follow these guidelines for safe operation: Keep all flammable household items—drapes, furniture, newspapers, and books— far away from the appliance. Start fires only with newspaper, dry kindling and all natural or organic fire starters.
Draft: Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the fiber boards and burner tubes. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney.
3. Load the firebox with dry seasoned wood. Do NOT load any higher than the side brick retainers. Leave the door cracked approximately 1/2” (one-half inch; 12.7 mm). Allow the fire to burn in this manner for 15 to 20 minutes. 4. Close the door completely, and leave the draft control in the open position, and allow the furnace to burn in this manner for another 5 to 10 minutes. 5. Open the draft control to your desired setting as described previously in “Building a Fire.
Disposal of Ashes Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE (Unit must be cool and power unplugged before performing any maintenance) Refer to the list at the rear of this manual for part numbers. You may order parts by calling (800) 516-3636 or logging on to www.store.heatredefined.com GLASS CARE REPLACE GLASS ONLY WITH HIGH-TEMPERATURE PYROCERAM OF THE PROPER SIZE AND THICKNESS. ROBAX The following use and safety tips should be observed: 1. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks or breaks.
6. Trim the gasket to length and butt the ends together. 7. Replace the glass and holders in the door. Tighten, being sure not to over-tighten the screws. The following steps should be followed for replacement of the door gasket: 1. Ensure the appliance is not in operation and is thoroughly cooled. 2. Remove the old door gasket and clean the gasket channel. 3. Using an approved high-temperature gasket cement, apply a thin coat in the bottom of the channel. 4.
We recommend that you leave the thermostat at the factory settings until the unit has been burned for at least 30 days. FIBER BOARD THIS WOOD HEATER UTILIZES RECENT TECHNOLOGY, WHICH INCLUDES CERAMIC FIBER BOARD THAT IS LOCATED IN THE FIREBOX, AND RESTS ON TOP OF FOUR STAINLESS STEEL TUBES. DO NOT REMOVE THIS CERAMIC FIBER BOARD!!! IT IS A NECESSARY COMPONENT OF THE FIREBOX. ALSO PLEASE NOTE: THE CERAMIC FIBER BOARD MAY BECOME LOOSE DURING INITIAL SHIPPING.

CHIMNEY AND FLUE PIPE MAINTENANCE Chimney Maintenance Cleaning your chimney is not a difficult task; however, we recommend a professional do this job. A professional chimney sweep can detect problems in your system that you might not recognize. Smoke Detectors England’s Stove Works, Inc. highly recommends the use of smoke detectors in every room of the house. However, locating a smoke detector directly above this unit can result in nuisance alarms.
EPA INFORMATION The following additions to your owner’s manual will enable you to achieve optimal emissions performance from your stove. Important safety tips are also included. ‐ Proper Installation – Please refer to the Installation section of your owner’s manual and follow the guidelines listed therein for safety and for optimal emissions performance. Additional information: Venting Introduction: Draft: Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney.
• USE an approved wall thimble when passing through a wall and a ceiling support/fire stop when passing through a ceiling. • INSTALL three sheet metal screws at every chimney connector joint. • AVOID excessive horizontal runs and elbows, as both will reduce the draft of the venting system and will result in poor stove performance. • INSPECT your venting system often, to be certain it is clear of creosote, fly‐ash and other restrictions.
Burn hot fires. To maintain proper airflow, regularly remove ashes from your wood‐burning appliance into a metal container with a cover and store outdoors. Moisture Meter Information Firewood is ready at 10‐25% moisture content. Newly‐cut logs can have a moisture content (MC) of 80% or more, depending on species. Since wood shrinks, and can also split, twist or otherwise change shape as it dries, most wood is dried before being used.
