4 SECTION 1.0 - INSTALLATION When installed and operated as described in th ese instructions, the Eastwood 1900 EPA wood stove is suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in residential installa tions. The Eastwood 1900 EPA wood stove is not intended for installation in a bedroom or a mobile hom e. In Canada, the CSA B365 Installation Code for[...]

5 1.2 POSITIONING THE STOVE It is very important to position the wood stove in an area that will favour the m ost efficient heat distribution throughout the house. The stove should therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the m ost spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we fee[...]

7 1.3.1 Reduced clearances You may decrease the clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. These heat radiat ion shields must be installed permanently, and can include sheet metal, a rigid non-co mbustible sheet or a masonry wall. Clearances of not less than 1" (25 mm) and not more than 3&qu[...]

11 1.4 FLOOR PROTECTOR If the stove is to be installed on top of a com bustible floor, it must be guarded by a non-com bustible material extending at least 18” (300mm ) from the fr ont and 8” (200mm ) from the sides and the back of the firebox., as shown in Figure 1.4 below. Please note that a floor protection is required with the pedestal mode[...]

12 TIPS ON WOOD HEATING Wood is a renewable energy. It is also a very clean heat source when used with appliances that are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a standard accepted in Canada as well. EPA-certified wood stoves are different than conventional wood stoves. Burning with an EPA-certified wood stove may ther efore [...]

13 SECTION 2.0 CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM) 2.1 DEFINITIONS For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions: • A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimne y , which attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house. • A chimney can be a masonry chimney (of masonry co[...]

14 If you are using a masonry chimney, it is im porta nt that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code. It must be lin ed with f ire clay bricks, or clay tiles, sealed together with fire cement, or have a listed solid fuel burning stainless steel liner. Round chim neys are the most efficient. The interior diameter of t[...]

15 FIGURE 2.2 Minimum Height of the Chimney 2.2.1 Step by step installation of your factory-built chimney The way to install your chimney may vary from one chim ney manufacturer to another. The instructions contained i n this manual are based on t he recomme nda tions of chimney manufacturers whose products are sold at many North American retailers[...]

16 Typical installation through the wall FIGURE 2.2.1 (A) Typical installation through the wall[...]

17 1- Start by positioning your stove where you would lik e it to go, taking into account the minim um clearances to combustible material. You will then be able to determin e where the chim ney will pass through the wall. You will probably have to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the studs. Y ou can us[...]

18 4- Then, from outside the building, slide a short chim ney length (attached to the tee) through the wall thimble. The chimney m ust extend at least 3 inches into the living space where it attaches to the stove pipe. 5- You can now install the wall support. Simply s lide the wall support up to the tee, ensuring that the adapter on the support eng[...]

19 7- Authorities require that the chimney extend not le ss than 3 feet above th e highest point wh ere it passes through the roof of a building and not less than 2 feet above any portion of the building within 10 feet. If the chimney extends m ore than 5 feet above the roof deck, roof guys with telescoping legs and draw bands are required. 8- Fina[...]

20 Ceiling support system If your chimney must rise inside the house and go through the ceiling, you need to connect it to your stove at the ceiling level. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required : Chimney • An adequate number of chim ney sections (enough to go up to your roof) • A ceiling support kit with stove[...]

21 1. Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to m ark the ceiling directly above your stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the joists. You can use a stud finder to locate the joists. You also need to take into account the minimum clearances to[...]

22 4. Once the support is secure, you can begin to asse mble the chimney by lowering the first section into the support. Make sure that the male coupler is pointing upwards, as indicated by the arrow on the chimney label. 5. Then, from beneath the support, insert the stove pipe adapter and twist-lock it into place. 6. Now, you can add additional ch[...]

23 7. Once you have cut through your roof and framed the joists, it is tim e to work outdoors. Authorities require that the chimney extend not le ss than 3 feet above th e highest point w here it passes through the roof of a building and not less that 2 feet above any portion of the building within 10 feet. You will need to install a roof flashing.[...]

24 2.2.2 Typical installation through an existing masonry chimney You can also install your stove using your ex isting masonry chimney. To do so, follow the guideline s below. You may wa nt to use a factory- built thimble, on construct your own brick thimble. If you are using a masonry chimney, it is im porta nt that it be built in compliance with [...]

27 2.3 CHIMNEY CONNECTOR Your chimney connector (comm only called stove pipe) and chimney must have the sam e diameter as the stove’s exhaust outlet. The stove pipe must be m ade of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum 24-gauge thickness (0.021" or 0.53 mm). It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel. The following recommendati[...]

29 2.4 DRAFT Your E.P.A Drolet stove’s performance will be optim ised if it is installed with a chimney (flue) system that provides an adequate draft. The draf t is the force that m oves air from the appliance up through the chimney and is predominantly affected by the height and diam eter of the chimney, as well as the stack temperatures of the [...]

30 2.6 THE ADVANTAGE OF INSTALLING A BLOWER (FAN) A blower can be installed at the back of your E. P.A Drolet stove. This option is necessary if you wish to redistribute into a room the heat trapped at the back of your stove. By forcing hot air toward the front, the blower enables you to extend the ra diation and convection power of your stove. You[...]

37 3.5 MAINTAINING THE FIRE Once the wood has been consumed (or partially consum ed) and you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air control to its maxim um for approximately 15 seconds prior to opening the st ove door. Then, proceed by opening the door very slowly. Open it by 2” to 4” (52[...]

38 SECTION 4.0 MAINTENANCE 4.1 CLEANING AND PAINTING YOUR STOVE Clean the stove frequently so that soot, ash, and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean the stove when the unit is hot. Special care mu st be taken with plated surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance. Do not use an abrasive cleaner which will s[...]

39 4.3 GASKETING It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which makes your stove door air tight) once a year, in order to insure good control over the co mbustion, m aximum efficiency and security. To change the door gasket, simply remove the dam age d one. Carefully clean th e gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for thi[...]

40 • If bright ember s are glowi ng above the ash dum p cap during a low or m edium fire, air may be leaking past the ash plug. If this is happening, a possible over fire hazard exists. The stove should be shut down and allowed to cool. Properly seal the ash dump cap. 4.5 CHIMNEY (FLUE) CLEANING Regular chimney (flue) maintenance, as well as good[...]
