Everyday Fueling - England's Stove Works 28-4000 Guide D'installation Et D'utilisation

Draft: Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the
chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive
temperatures in the appliance and may damage the fiber boards and burner tubes.
Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and 'plugging' of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through
appliance and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
Please be mindful of installation location: Inversion and other air quality issues can arise
in valleys or if unit is installed close to neighboring homes.
Measuring Draft: Using a manometer with an appropriate scale range, connect
the testing tube to the chimney connector. End of testing tube should be inserted in
chimney connector approximately 12" (305mm) above the elbow/T attached to the furnace
flue and so that approximately 1" (25 mm) of tube extends into the exhaust system. Any
hole made in the chimney connector for insertion of manometer tube shall be adequately
sealed with high temp sealant materials when testing is complete. Chimney draft should
be a minimum of -0.03" W.C. (-10 Pa) to a maximum of -0.06" W.C. (-15 Pa).
Do Not Over-Fire Your Unit
IMPORTANT: Using flammable liquids, too much wood, or burning trash in this unit may
result in over-firing. If the chimney connector pipe glows red or — even worse — white,
the stove is over-fired. This condition could ignite creosote in the chimney, which in turn
could cause a house fire.
CAUTION: If you do over-fire the unit, immediately close the draft control and the door if
it is open. You should get out of the house and call the fire department. Do not use the
stove again until the chimney and connector pipe have been inspected and any damaged
parts replaced. A chimney sweep can perform the inspection and make any necessary
repairs.

This furnace is designed to burn six to eight hours on one filling of good seasoned
wood. To refuel the unit, proceed as follows:
1. Open the draft control as described previously. Crack the door approximately 1-inch
(25.4 mm) and leave it in this manner for two to five minutes. This will allow the excess
smoke to go up the chimney system by increasing the draft.
2. Now you can slowly open the door; you should see a hot bed of coals in the firebox. If
the fire has burned out, stop here and refer to the procedure for "Building a Fire."
