1. Planning Your Installation 1.1 Questions to Ask Local Building Officials A correct installation is critical and imperative for reducing fire hazards and perilous conditions that can arise when wood burning appliances are improperly installed. The installer must follow all of the manufacture’s instructions. The installation of a wood burning appliance must conform to local codes and applicable state and federal requirements. Familiarity with these requirements before installation is essential.
1.4 Clearance from Combustible Walls WARNING: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU OBSERVE THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES. There are listed clearances for your stove which were determined in a laboratory test, using various “classes” of stove pipe or chimney. Minimums are first established for the stove itself and then increased, based on how much heat is transferred by each class of pipe. Residential Standard (not approved for manufactured [mobile] homes) Using single wall pipe connector to the top of the woodstove.
1.5 Floor Protection This appliance requires a non-combustible floor protection to protect against burning embers. If the floor is to be stone, tile, brick, etc., it must be mortared or grouted to form a continuous, non-combustible surface. If a chimney connector extends horizontally over the floor, protection must cover the floor under the connector and at least 2” (51 mm) to either side. The floor protection must extend completely beneath the woodstove and to the front, sides, and rear as indicated.
2. 3. Indirect method: for an appliance not certified for direct connection of outside combustion air, the outside air is ducted to a point no closer than (12 in.) 300 mm from the appliance to avoid an adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. A mechanical ventilation system: if the house has ventilation system (air exchange or heat recovery): a. The ventilation system may be able to provide sufficient combustion make-up air for the solid-fuel-fired appliance. b.
2.3 Types of Chimneys The chimney is a vital part of your woodstove installation. A properly built masonry chimney or a properly installed, factory built chimney will provide a consistent draft under a variety of weather conditions (a smoking woodstove is usually caused by a chimney problem). The minimum stove flue size is 6 inches (152 mm) in diameter, which is approximately 28 square inches (711 square mm).
Vapor Barrier At Chimney Penetration Install all venting components according to the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions. Ensure that there is an effective vapor barrier at the location where the chimney penetrates the exterior of the structure. This can be accomplished by applying a non-hardening, waterproof sealant to the following components: ? ? ? Around the chimney at the point where the storm collar will meet the chimney, just above the flashing.
2.8 Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs Method A. 12” (305 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness of 3.5” (90 mm) brick and a 5/8” (16 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12” (305 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner und wall combustibles.

3.5 Acceptable Fuel Acceptable fuel sources are pieces of wood with a length of 30 cm (12”) and a diameter of 10 cm (4”), as well as wood briquettes. Only air-dried wood should be used. The burning of waste materials, in particular synthetic materials, is not permitted, according to federal laws regulating emissions. In addition, this causes damage to the fireplace and chimney. Airdried wood will achieve a maximum water content of 30% after at least 1 year (soft woods) and/or 2 years (hard woods).
5. Fresh Air Supply The woodstove can only be installed in rooms with a sufficient supply of fresh air intake for combustion purposes. This is true of rooms that have at least one exterior door or one window that can be opened. Rooms that are connected to the same fresh air network, i.e. rooms within the same residence or common areas, are also appropriate for installation. The woodstove requires approx. 40m³ fresh air per hour for combustion.
6. Operating Your Woodstove Etna, Elbrus und Vesuv 6.1 Regulating the Heat Draft controls to regulate secondary air are located under the door on the right and left sides respectively. Pull the control towards you to open. . 1) Secondary Draft Control ash drawer 1 MERU: Close Open 1 Pull = Open Press = Close The secondary draft control lever regulates the amount of air that is needed to reburn exhaust gases that are produced in the fireplace during the wood burning process.
6.2 Door Caution: Use protective glove!!! When adding wood, pull the door handle up. The door can also be opened sideways so that you can clean the glass window. To do this, pull and release the lever on the lower right side. After you have finished, remember to securely lock the door again by pressing it back in. Warning: Be careful in using the door. Never operate a stove with a broken glass door!!! MERU: A torsion spring is used to automatically close this door.
6.3. Ash Drawer The ashes will fall down into the ash drawer after you pull on the grate lever several times. Do not forget that ashes will remain hot for several days in the ash drawer. Only use sheet metal ash containers to empty ashes out! A fire should never be started in the woodstove if the ash drawer is not in its proper position! ash drawer Disposal of Ashes - Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
? ? 7.3 After a period of time, as soon as the fire is burning well, it might seem as if the heat output is less. Regulate the burning process first by the amount of wood in the stove. At the same time, the secondary draft can be reduced. The air supply for burning and for heat output is dependent upon the fireplace draft, moisture and size of wood. Environmentally Safe Heating Too much wood can result in an overheating situation.
8. Cleaning and Maintenance Very important: All cleaning and maintenance work must only be performed on a compla2 l 531ool ondown firTj 23.732 0 TD (e.0362 Tc 0 Tw (c Top and bottom seals are fastened with three screws to bracket. Side seal is glued in with special stove cement.
9. Troubleshooting 9.1 Poor Draft Conditions ? ? ? ? Is the chimney too short? Is the chimney or flue leaking? Is the flue protruding out from the chimney? Is the door from another fireplace that is connected to the same chimney, open? 9.
