[. . . ] INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Thank you for purchasing this product from a fine line of heating equipment. Visit our web page at www. englandsstoveworks. com for helpful information, frequently asked questions, parts & accessory orders and more. NOTE: IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS UNIT DO NOT RETURN IT TO THE DEALER. CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION CAUTION: This unit must be installed in accordance with these instructions and must comply with local building and fire codes. Failure to do so could result in a chimney or house fire, property damage, bodily injury or even death. . [. . . ] Once you are sure the combustor is operating properly, the slide damper on the front of the stove can be adjusted to the desired burn rate. Note: It is important the above procedures be followed to ensure the catalytic combustor reaches the proper temperature. It is recommended the combustor be operated at 770 to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit; the combustor must be above 500 degrees Fahrenheit before it will accept the smoke. Operating the combustor above 1800 degrees will damage the combustor, although temperatures between 1400 and 1600 degrees are common. If minor build-up is evident on the combustor, run the stove at a high rate for two to three hours with the by-pass damper partially open.

Draft Control The unit has a slide damper located above the door that allows combustion air to enter the stove, and controls the amount of air and the total heat output of the unit. In the right position the damper is completely closed, and sliding it to the left allows air to enter the firebox. You will need to experiment with your stove to find the best position for your combustion air, as no two flues are alike. The long burn cycle can usually be accomplished with an opening of one-half to one inch (1/2" to 1"). Do Not Over-Fire Your Stove Burning flammable liquids, large amounts of wood or trash in your stove may result in over-firing the unit. If the chimney connector pipe turns red or white, the unit is over-fired; this condition may ignite creosote in the chimney and possibly cause a house fire. If this happens, immediately close the combustion air draft control and the by-pass damper. A chimney fire may cause structural damage to the flue system, which should not be used again until it is thoroughly inspected. A chimney sweep can perform this inspection and make repairs if necessary. Everyday Fueling This unit is designed to burn eight to ten hours on one filling of seasoned wood. At the end of the long burn cycle you should follow the listed procedure for the next long burn cycle. Always open (pull out) the by-pass damper before opening the front door of the stove. Then, open the combustion air damper by sliding it completely to the left. This will allow the draft to increase and clear the smoke that is in the stove. Smooth out the ashes and fill the unit with dry seasoned wood (split wood burns considerably better than logs). Please refer to Building A Fire (earlier in the manual) if your fire has gone out. 4. [. . . ] When this happens, a gust of wind can force these gases back into the house. Always have the entire chimney system checked for loose bricks and cement. If you have any of these problems contact your local dealer or call the factory. SECTION IX: WHAT CAUSES CREOSOTE? Creosote is caused by the condensation of the vapor that exists in the escaping smoke ­ the moisture level of your fuel will determine the density of this vapor. Moisture will form at the coolest point in your chimney system and at this point will tend to form creosote. [. . . ]
