Encore

2040CE Non-Catalytic / Catalytic Wood Burning Stove

Operation
The Encore Controls
Two controls regulate the performance of the Encore: a
primary air control
supplies oxygen for the fi re, and a
damper
directs air fl ow within the stove to activate and
deactivate the catalytic combustor.
Symbols cast into the stove are reminders of the correct
directions for opening and closing the controls. The sym-
bols assume that you are facing the front of the stove.

A Single Air Control Regulates
Heat Output and Burn Time
The
primary air control lever
, located on the right side of
the stove, controls the amount of incoming air for starting,
maintaining, and reviving a fi re.
More air entering the stove makes the fi re burn hotter and
faster, while less air prolongs the burn at a lower heat level.
High and low settings appear in Figure 25.
For the greatest air supply and maximum heat output (but
the shortest burn time), move the lever toward the front
of the stove. For a fi re that will last longer with less heat,
move the lever toward the rear of the stove.
The Encore’s air control system also features an automatic
thermostat to ensure an even heat output at whatever
manual setting you select. The thermostat senses the
heating and cooling of the stove surface and adjusts the
air shutter accordingly.
A Damper Directs Air Flow
Within the Stove
The
damper handle
on the left side of the stove operates
the damper to direct air fl ow within the stove.
The damper is
open
when the handle points to the
rear

enabling smoke to pass directly into the chimney. The

damper must be open when starting or reviving a fi re, and
whenever the griddle or doors are opened.
The damper is
closed
when the handle points
forward.
Smoke travels through the non-catalytic combustion sys-
tem where it can be further burned, before passing up the
chimney. (Fig. 26)
The damper should always be either fully open or fully
closed. There are no intermediate positions. When
closing the damper, be sure to pull fi rmly enough to
snap the handle into the locked position.

High-Effi ciency Wood Burning
with Catalytic Combustion
An Encore leaves the factory with the combustor packaged
separately.
In the United States, it is against the law to operate this
wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating in-
structions in this manual. The components of the catalytic
