CAUTION YOUR CHIMNEY MUST BE CORRECTLY SIZED. A CHIMNEY THAT IS TOO SMALL OR LARGE IN DIAMETER, OR TOO SHORT, CAN CAUSE YOUR STOVE TO SPILL SMOKE WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. SECTION I INTRODUCTION Your stringent achieved the unit's Buck Stove is a non-catalytic unit designed to meet the most emissions standards without the use of a catalytic combustor. This effect is through the use of a secondary air which is mixed with primary air in firebox. For peak performance we suggest the use of hard seasoned wood.
SECTION II MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION The Model 18 may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with the Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in this type of installation is to determine the acceptability of the fireplace and chimney for use with a woodstove. Both the construction and condition of the fireplace are important considerations when installing a woodstove.
1. The hearth must be of masonry construction and must extend a minimum of 16" in front of the firebox opening and a minimum of 8" to either side of the firebox opening. 2. If there is not minimum hearth protection from the front of the firebox opening and the front of the masonry hearth, a floor protector must be used in front of the hearth to protect combustible materials. The floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness noncombustible material or equivalent.
POSSIBLE TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION If you decide to install your own stove, there are several hand tools you may need to do the job. If you do not already have them, they are readily available at most hardware stores.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE (Without Direct or Positive Connect Kit) POSITIONING THE HEATER When positioning the heater, the following conditions MUST be met! (See Figure 2.) 1. The front of the damper opening must be positioned BEHIND the rear edge of the lintel to ensure proper draft. (See Figure 2.) 2. The vertical plane of the fireplace front must fall BEHIND the side cold air vent on top of the unit. (In other words, it is possible to have the heater too far in as well as not far enough.) 3.
7. Next using high heat silicone or furnace cement, run heavy bead of caulking around where panels meet the stove. (See Figure 4.) 8. Using the brass trim provided with kit, place side brass trim (with straight edge down) over each outer edge of side trim panel. Next place top brass trim over top trim panel. All 45º corners should match. If not, trim to fit with a metal cutting blade. 9. Slide the unit back into the fireplace.
FINAL CHECK 1. Recheck the specified clearances. 2. Remove all foreign material from the firebox area. 3. Open the primary air draft. NOTE: Plug the power cord into a 115 VAC outlet. Route the cord to prevent damage to the cord insulation from heat and sharp objects. Keep the cord out of the way of traffic to prevent damage caused by tripping, etc. 4. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close the doors. Ensure that the stove draws properly through the primary draft.
SECTION III PRE-FAB ZERO CLEARANCE INSERT INSTALLATION The Model 18 may be installed into any UL listed prefabricated fireplace that is large enough to accept it. MINIMUM CLEARANCES Except for “NOTE(S)”, FOLLOW MASONRY INSTALLATION CLEARANCES FOUND IN YOUR OPERATIONS MANUAL. INSTALLATION PREPARATION Pre-Fab Zero Clearance Fireplace 1.
