2.4 GENERAL
INFORMATION
•
Before beginning your installation, consult with your local building code agency or fi re offi cials and
insurance representative to ensure compliance.
•
Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a
window near the appliance.
•
Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before fi ring the appliance as the paint will
become soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on
your appliance burn your appliance moderately hot during the fi rst few fi res.
•
To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door
every 5-10 minutes.
• For
the
fi rst two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide
open for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel and
fi rebricks. The initial heat output will be reduced while the moisture is bring drawn from the appliance
and it will be necessary to build several hot fi res to remove this moisture.
DURING THIS PROCESS
DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE
APPLIANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.
Your appliance was specifi cally designed to meet the 2015 U.S.A. EPA particulate emission standards and
have been extensively tested in Canadian and American laboratories. This system is the most effi cient, simple
and trouble free we know and works as follows:
Your appliance is the exact duplication of the clean-burning technology found in all Timberwolf® EPA certifi ed
freestanding stoves. External modifi cations have been made to allow its installation as a “functional insert” with a heat
circulating blower system and a means of enclosing the solid fuel burning fi replace cavity for greater heating effi ciency.
Your appliance must be installed only into a solid fuel burning fi replace that is at least 14” (356mm) deep 25 7/8”
(657mm) wide and 22” (559mm) high with an approved lined chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m) and a hearth of 18”
(457mm). This minimum recess can only be achieved if the opening height is suffi cient enough to allow the connector
to fi t under the noncombustible facing. The appliance and chimney must be constructed in accordance with all national
and local building code standards.
The chimney vent system used on your wood burning appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily fl ow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too
short or too long can also have an adverse affect on the fl ow of exhaust through it. The wood burning appliance
and chimney vent system also require a suffi cient supply of combustion air not only to support the combustion in the
combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it so it can fl ow freely
up through the vent system and out into the atmosphere. It is the correct
balance of combustion air and the chimney vent system that will ensure the
appliance provides you with its optimum performance.
Secondary air from the rear intake opening travels up the back in the
secondary air housing to the manifold located across the top and fl ows out
laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.
The lower combustion chamber is lined with high temperature fi rebricks on
2 sides, the back and across the bottom, with a layer of fi bre baffl es at the
top to maintain a high temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases
mixing with the preheated air from the secondary air manifold tube are easily
ignited and burned. The appliance sides and back are shielded to direct the
heat upwards and forwards into the room.
Be sure to provide suffi cient combustion air. There are many other
appliances in your home competing for air such as: a kitchen range hood,
forced air heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.
