Sidewall clearance to pipe is 33'' for 3730 & 3733 ; 34'' for 3731 & 3734 and 28'' for 3732.
Only low-volatile soft coal should be used in a Godin stove. High volatile soft coal may burn too fast, and overheat both stove and stovepipe.
The space heated will vary, depending on the heat loss of the dwelling, the air circulation between rooms, the location of the stove, and the
manner in which the stove is operated.
The heat output, space heated, and useful burn time with coal are based on good quality "nut" size anthracite, rated at 13.500 BTU/lb, with 8-
10% ash content. The quality of coal you burn, and therefore the performance you obtain, may be less.
Godin stoves should be vented to Standard listed, factory built chimney, or to a lined masonry chimney that meet local codes. Most existing
chimneys are suitable for Godin stoves, but extremely large fireplaces flues may not attain the recommended draft, or may do so only slowly,
making it difficult to establish a good fire. Such large flues should be fitted with a metal chimney liner.
FOOTNOTES TO GODIN CLEARANCES CHART
- Clearances in the chart are from the outside of the chimney connector to walls. See illustrations.
- Floor protection is defined as the non-combustible surface applied to the floor area beneath, extending beyond front, sides and back of the
heater. It may be a listed covering manufactured for that purpose equivalent to 3/8" thick asbestos miliboard, a minimum single layer of 2 1/2"
thick common solid brick on top of 26 gauge galvanized steel, or of materials specified in the Building Code.
The floor protector must extend 16 inches to the front, 8 inches to the sides, 8 inches to the rear, and 2 inches beyond the perimeter of the
chimney connector. In rear wall installations, the floor protector must extend to the backwall, covering the entire floor area beneath the chimney
connector and 2 inches past each side of the connector. Corner installation floor protectors must extend fully into corner. Reduced clearance
floor protectors must extend fully to the backwall and sidewall shield and 8 inches beyond the side of the unit opposite the sidewall shield.
- Reduced clearance shields shall be of material equivalent to 20 gauge sheet steel or acceptable means stated in the Building Code. A one
inch air space must be maintained between the wall surface and the wall protector. It must be open at the top and one side of each shield for
ventilation. Attach to wall with non-combustible spacers spaced on 16 inches (40cm) centers. Rear and side shields must extend 18 inches
along the wall from the edge of the unit and from the floor to 1 inch (2,54cm) from the ceiling.
Reduced clearance rear wall penetrations require wall protectors as described above except the shield mat end 11 inches (28 cm) above the top
of the unit. Corner installation wall protectors must extend fully into the corner. No gaps between shields are allowed.
- Ceiling clearance to stovepipe is 18 inches (45 cm) in all installations.
- Measurements is from unit back to wall. No measurement from unit back to pipe is given in rear wall flue penetration installations.
- Clearances are measured to the shield itself, not the combustible wall behind the shields. The wall is 1 inch (2,54cm) farther than the
measurement given.
RECOMMENDED FUELS
Anthracite 20x30, anthracite 10x20, wood log length 33cm/13in.
(50cm/20in. for ref.3101)
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTA OR ENGINE OIL.
NOTE: In the case of bad draft from the chimney, it is recommended to use 20x30. If not available, use 20 gramme coal: it is better for bad draft
but can cause damage if the draft is correct.
At first lightings, it is important that the appliance runs at moderate speed to allow the adjustment of the different parts.
- IMPORTANT:
Do not use the stove if the glass is damaged. Replace it immediately prior any lighting.
Be careful of the handles which re hot when the stove is functionning.
- LOW SPEED: To use in this position, the thermostat must be on the off position and the minimum of fuel must be loaded to the top half of the
tank (ref. 3701). Concerning reference 3101, the fresh air arrival must remain close while a sufficient quantity of large diameter wood log is
loaded on a thin red ashes bed.
- CAUTION: The use of any other fuel than recommended may cause serious damages to your installation and your health. It is also a case of
guarantee unvalidity.
UTILISATION
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or freshen up a fire in this heater. Keep
all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
COAL USING:
The stove is equipped with a fuel tank to adjust according the coal used. In most cases, for 20x30 anthracite, install the tank as precised in
Fig.B. The front part of the tank is in this case, more low and rear located. The stove is filled through the removable top.
WOOD USING for reference 3701:
The loading of the stove is operated either through the door, either through the top. The fuel tank must be removed. The thermostat may stay on
the lowest position, doors must remain close during functioning. We preconise a loading of 2 or 3 wood log (6 to 8 kg). If smokeless briquettes
are used, limit the loading to 8 or 10 briquettes.
WOOD USING for reference 3101:
The loading of the stove is operated either through the door, either through the top. The fuel tank must be removed. The thermostat may stay on
the lowest position, doors must remain close during functioning. Fresh air registers are located on the ash-pan door. The left one is to be used
for lighting or relighting after low speed. It must remain close at normal speed, only use the register marked 0-1-2-3 located on the right.
We preconise a loading of 2 or 3 wood log (6 to 8 kg). If smokeless briquettes are used, limit the loading to 8 or 10 briquettes.
LIGHTING-REGULATION
For Petit Godin, we recommend 20gr smokeless briquettes. If this fuel is not available, the following can be used : 20x30 anthracite, lignite
briquettes.
