1.4 general information
Your appliance was specifi cally designed to meet the 2020 U.S.A. EPA particulate emission standards for cord
wood and has been extensively tested in Canadian laboratories. This system is the most effi cient, simple and
trouble free we know and works as follows:
Your appliance is the exact duplication of the clean-burning technology found in all Timberwolf® EPA certifi ed freestanding
stoves. External modifi cations have been made to allow its
installation as a "functional insert" with a heat circulating blower
system and a means of enclosing the solid fuel burning fi replace
cavity for greater heating effi ciency.
Your appliance must be installed only into a solid fuel burning
fi replace that is at least 14" (356mm) deep 25 7/8" (657mm) wide
and 22" (559mm) high with an approved lined chimney at least 15
feet high (4.6m) and a hearth of 18" (457mm). This minimum recess
can only be achieved if the opening height is suffi cient enough to
allow the connector to fi t under the noncombustible facing. The
appliance and chimney must be constructed in accordance with all
national and local building code standards.
The chimney vent system used on your wood burning appliance
should be designed with the least amount of restriction possible
to enable the exhaust products to easily fl ow through it. Chimney
vent systems that are too short or too long can also have an
adverse affect on the fl ow of exhaust through it. The wood
burning appliance and chimney vent system also require a suffi cient supply of combustion air not only to support the
combustion in the combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it so it can fl ow freely up through the vent
system and out into the atmosphere. It is the correct balance of combustion air and the chimney vent system that will
ensure the appliance provides you with its optimum performance.
Secondary air from the rear intake opening travels up the back in the secondary air housing to the manifold located
across the top and fl ows out laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.
The lower combustion chamber is lined with high temperature fi rebricks on 2 sides, the back and across the bottom,
with a layer of fi bre baffl es at the top to maintain a high temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing
with the preheated air from the secondary air manifold tube are easily ignited and burned. The appliance sides and back
are shielded to direct the heat upwards and forwards into the room.
Be sure to provide suffi cient combustion air. There are many other appliances in your home competing for air such
as: a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling
down cycles are normal and to be expected.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a
vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a
slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on
the fi rebox burning off. Open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the
room.
If you experience smoking problems, you may need to open a door, a window or otherwise provide some method
of supplying combustion air to the appliance.
