Stove Top Thermometer
The stove top thermometer is an accessory that can be used to help
determine when to close the catalytic combustor bypass on your Nova.
The thermometer should be placed on the stove top, 8” from the front
of the stove and 11.25” from the side of the stove. For most uses, when
the thermometer reads “ENGAGE CATALYST”, the catalytic
combustor bypass can be swung closed (to the rear of the stove).
Initial Curing
During the first burn of your wood stove, the paint on the stove may
off-gas as part of its final curing process. This is to be expected. Open
windows and ventilation means are recommended. Please refer to the
Exterior Paint section for additional details.
