Floor protection

Floor protection must be minimum 3/8" non-combustible material
extending beneath the stove, and to the front and sides from door
opening and to the rear as indicated
Floor protection for Canada: 18" (46 cm) from unit to front of floor
protector.
Floor protector must be under connector pipe and 2" (5 cm) to the
side for a thru-the wall configuration.

Firewood

Only burn wood that has been seasoned for at least one full year (two
years is better). If the wood has not been seasoned or dried, energy
will be lost in evaporating the water held in the wood. Furthermore,
condensation or creosote might occur in the stove and pipe when
damp wood is burnt.
Freshly cut wood contains approx. 60-70% water and is completely
unsuited for burning.
Log size should be about 2" (5 cm) less than the width of the
firebox

All types of wood heat equally per pound; however, the density of
wood is not the same as is shown in the table below, where the com-
bustible value of wood dried for two years with a moisture of 15-20%
is taken into account. See table to the left.
Drying and storage
Wood to be used for burning in a stove should be dried for two years
to ensure optimal burning.
Here are some storage tips:
• Cut and split the wood before storing.
• Keep the woodpile in a dry sunny place, protected from the rain. Do
not cover the pile with plastic, because that prevents the wood from
drying properly.
• Stack the wood with enough space between the rows to ensure
good air circulation.
• Bring the logs inside the house two-three days prior to use.

Control

If the ashes are white and the combustion chamber walls not covered
with soot, the air adjustment has been correct and the wood suffi-
ciently dry.
