A draft measure of less than .05" w.c. will cause operational difficulties while too much draft (greater than .10" w.c.) will result in over-firing of the stove. This can result in excessive operating temperatures. 2.5 OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR It is recommended to install 5’’ outside air intake in the room where the stove is located or nearby. The following are signs that a fresh air kit may be required: • Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke rollouts occur, wood burns poorly, or back-draft occurs whether or not there is combustion present. • Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as fireplaces or other heating appliances, smell, do not operate properly, suffer smoke rollouts when opened, or back-draft occurs whether or not there is combustion present. • Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms. • The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapour barrier and tight fitting windows and/or has any powered devices that exhaust house air. • There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter. • A ventilation system is installed in the house. 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 radiation and convection power of your stove. You can purchase this option through your E.P.A Drolet dealer. Make sure to specify the correct part number : AC03095. Installation instructions are supplied with the blower. SECTION 3.0 OPERATION Keep these instructions for future reference. WARNING: • ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED AS BREACHING CSA B365 (CANADA), AND ANSI NFPA 211 (USA). • DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE. • DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS OPERATING. • DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN HEATER INSTALLATION CLEARANCES. • OPEN AIR CONTROL (AND DAMPER WHEN FITTED) BEFORE OPENING FIRING DOOR. • THIS STOVE IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH THE DOOR OPEN. THE DOOR MAY BE OPEN ONLY DURING LIGHTING PROCEDURES. NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN. • HOT WHILE IN OPERATION, KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS. WEAR GLOVES TO OPERATE YOUR STOVE. CAUTION • THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS. • THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF PRESERVATIVE-TREATED WOOD AS A FUEL CAN BE HAZARDOUS. • DO NOT USE A GRATE IN THIS UNIT. 3.1 SAFETY INFORMATION • These stoves are designed for safe operation WHEN BURNING WOOD ONLY. Altering or modifying the unit or installation without proper authorisation will void the certification, warranty, and safety listing, and may result in a safety hazard. • For safety reasons, never leave the unit unattended with the door open or ajar. An open door, and especially a door partially open or cracked, if left for longer than required for good ignition can potentially result in unsafe chimney temperatures, and if left unattended, in hot embers or ignited fuel falling out of the unit. Prolonged door open operation is not necessary provided the unit has been properly installed and dry kindling is used to start the fire. • Do not abuse the unit, either by over firing or by using wood or combustibles with salt content, or harmful chemicals. Misuse is not covered by warranty. • Even though your E.P.A Drolet stove has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimise the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft of flame or smoke into the room. • Never use gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, solvents, charcoal lighter fluid, or inflammable liquids to start or "refresh" a fire in the stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use. • All stove surfaces become very hot during operation. Care is needed, especially with children, to avoid contact with those surfaces. • Do not elevate the fire by means of grates. • CAUTION: DO NOT OVER FIRE THIS HEATER. Do not burn fuel in the stove at a rate higher than that which will cause the ember bed level to exceed half the door opening height. We strongly recommend that you purchase a chimney (flue) thermometer. There are two types of thermometers: probe thermometers and magnetic thermometers (the later is also called “stove top thermometer”). If you are using a probe thermometer, make sure that the temperature does not exceed 900oF (482oC). If you are using a magnetic thermometer, make sure that the temperature does not exceed 475oF (246oC). If the door handle of the stove becomes excessively hot to the touch, consider this to be an indication of over firing. Over firing can result in a safety hazard and can permanent...
