Once you have cut and joined all the pieces of your stovepipe system, you should secure
each joint with three sheet metal screws, spaced equally around the circumference. Now fit
the pipe over the stove’s flue outlet. Securing the connector pipe to the stove’s flue outlet at
these three points ensures a secure.
This system will make it easy to clean the pipe frequently. By removing the screws at the
stove and the chimney you will be able to take down the whole pipe assembly in one piece, so
you can sweep it easily with the right size brush.
CAUTION: Inspect your stovepipe (and chimney) frequently. If you see any evidence of
corrosion, replace the entire stovepipe assembly.
INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE
The appliance must be connected to the chimney by a short pipe. There is often a tendency
to install stoves with long pipes in the hope that these will act as heat collectors from the
smoke. The stoves themselves fulfil this role and the small amount of heat retained in the
smoke is essential for the draught. The connecting pipe must be solidly attached and airtight.
1.
Take out the small parts that are packed in the barrel of the stove.
2.
Put a drop cloth or old blanket on the floor and lay the stove carefully down on its back.
Using a screwdriver and wrench or pliers, attach the two front legs loosely to the base:
insert the bolts from the top and secure each with a washer, a lock washer, and a nut, but
do not tighten the nuts. Install the heat shield so that its two layers sandwich the legs.
Next, roll the stove slightly and put on the rear leg, making sure it also fits between the
two layers of the heat shield. Tighten all the nuts snugly.
3.
Carefully lift the stove to its upright position.
4.
Attach the flue outlet to the back of your stove.
5.
Use denatured alcohol (available at paint or hardware stores) to dissolve and clean off
the protective coating of oil from the barrel and around the loading lid. Remove the oil
carefully; otherwise, it will smoke when the stove is fired.
COMBUSTIBLES, WALL AND FLOOR PROTECTION
Godin stoves have been tested for safety by a major independent laboratory. Safe clearances
to combustibles for stove are based on these safety tests. Respect clearances to
combustibles as indicated on the nameplate fixed to the back of the stove barrel.
CAUTION: It is important to observe the clearances and other instructions for safe installation
in this manual.
