between. We also test using the same procedure except using split hardwood firewood to reflect

real-world heat output. This stove is not intended to operate at its peak heat output continuously.

*** East-west: through the door you see the sides of the logs; north-south: through the door you

see the ends of the logs.

Solution 3.4 Installation and Operation Manual

2.2 Zone Heating and How to Make it Work for You

Your new Solution 3.4 wood stove is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area it

is installed in, as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature. This is

called zone heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces within homes.

Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular space

within a home, such as a basement family room or an addition that lacks another heat source.

Although the stove may be able to heat the main living areas of your house to an adequate

temperature, we strongly recommend that you also have a conventional oil, gas or electric heating

system to provide backup heating.

Your success with zone heating will depend on several factors, including the correct sizing and

location of the stove, the size, layout and age of your home and your climate zone. Three-season

vacation homes can usually be heated with smaller stoves than houses that are heated all winter.

2.3 The Benefits of Low Emissions and High Efficiency

The low smoke emissions produced by the special features inside the Solution 3.4 firebox mean

that your household will release up to 90 percent less smoke into the outside environment than if

you used an older conventional stove. But there is more to the emission control technologies than

protecting the environment.

The smoke released from wood when it is heated contains about half of the energy content of the

fuel. By burning the wood completely, your stove releases all the heat energy from the wood

instead of wasting it as smoke up the chimney. Also, the features inside the firebox allow you to

reduce the air supply to control heat output, while maintaining clean and efficient flaming

combustion, which boosts the efficient delivery of heat to your home.

The emission control and advanced combustion features of your stove can only work properly if

your fuel is in the correct moisture content range of 15 to 20 percent. See Section 3 of this manual

for suggestions on preparing fuelwood and judging its moisture.

Solution 3.4 Installation and Operation Manual

2.4 The SBI Commitment to You and the Environment

The SBI team are committed to protecting the environment, so we do everything we can to use

only materials in our products that will have no lasting negative impact on the environment.

2.4.1 What is Your New Stove Made Of?

The body of your stove, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel. Should it ever become

necessary many years in the future, almost the entire stove can be recycled into new products,

thus eliminating the need to mine new materials.

The paint coat on your stove is very thin. Its VOC content (Volatile Organic Components) is very

low. VOCs can be responsible for smog, so all the paint used during the manufacturing process

meets the latest air quality requirements with regards to VOC reduction or elimination.

The air tubes are stainless steel, which can also be recycled.

The C-Cast baffle is made of an aluminosilicate fibre material that is compressed with a binder to

form a rigid board. C-Cast can withstand temperatures above 2,000 °F. It is not considered

hazardous waste. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.

Firebrick is mainly composed of silicon dioxide, also known as silica, an earth derived product. It is

most commonly found in nature in the form of sand and clay. Disposal at a landfill is

recommended.

The door and glass gaskets are fibreglass which is spun from melted sand. Black gaskets have

been dipped into a solvent-free solution. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.

The door glass is a 5 mm thick ceramic material that contains no toxic chemicals. It is basically

made of raw earth materials such as sand and quartz that are combined in such a way to form a

glass at high temperatures. Ceramic glass will not re-melt in the same way as normal glass, so it

should not be recycled with your regular household products. Disposal at a landfill is

recommended.
