INTRODUCTION

Please read carefully all continuous information in this instruction manual and preserve it for

consultation. It contains all the necessary information to an installation and an efficient use of the

Evolution.

Before installing the stove consult the local authorities to obtain a construction permit. Take note of

all the lawful requirements into force. In most cases a construction permit is required.

The equipment installation will be made in accordance with the regulation authorities having

jurisdiction on Warnock Hersey "Code of installation wood heating equipment". (CAN/CSA B365)

The choice of a site for the stove is very important. Preferably, choose the most central part of the

house, so that heat is distributed evenly. Never install your stove near a door, window or staircase

in order not to block them in the event of fire

STOVE DIMENSIONS

WARNING

It is prohibited to use gasoline, oil or other flammable liquids to light a fire

Never use your stove as an incinerator to burn great quantities of light fuels such as oil waste,

naphtha, and gasoline or engine oil. The fire might get out of control and may cause a chimney fire.

During combustion, the walls of the stove become very hot; do not touch them

Keep the door closed when the stove is in use because if you heat with the door open smoke can

be released (carbon monoxide) from your apparatus and can involve the loss of control of the flame

CREOSOTE

When wood burns slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours when, associated with

moisture, forms creosote. The creosote vapour condenses in a chimney flue relatively cooled by a

slow fire. It results an accumulation of creosote inside the pipe.

When burning, the creosote forms an extremely blazing hot fire.

It is preferable to make small brisk fires rather than large smouldering fires. This will enable you to

keep the chimney and glass clean.

It is important to inspect the chimney or clean it periodically.

WOOD

Avoid using green wood to slow down combustion. This causes the formation of excessive soot and

creosote deposit in the chimney. It may cause a chimney fire. An accumulation of more than 3mm

of creosote is sufficient to proceed to the cleaning of the chimney in order to reduce the risks of a

chimney fire.

It is important to buy seasoned wood to obtain a better quantity of heat per wood cord.

Place reasonable loads do not overload the apparatus and ensure that the logs are placed in order

not to slam against the glass, or to burn too close to the glass.

Use seasoned wood only. Note that 6-12 months are needed for drying to have seasoned wood

and quality equivalent to 15 to 20 % of moisture.

→Important: Do not store the wood near the stove.

LIGHTING A FIRE

Lighting, a good sharp fire is necessary. Introduce into the outer firebox a small quantity of old

ruffled papers and cover them with seasoned kindling. Open the damper key (Located at the

center, behind the higher shutter) and light fire. As soon as fire is well taken, add pieces of wood a

little larger and close the door. When the stove is hot, do not touch the handle with bare hands.

At the beginning of lighting open the air register input (Lever located at the bottom of the ash

drawer) so that the air is not driven back in the stove, it is very important to foresee a good airflow

in the area.

The combustion controls were especially designed to allow an air intake of 10% when they are

completely closed.

GLASS

Never slam the door and never strike the glass. When you close the door, make sure that the logs

are placed in order not to slam against the glass, or to burn to close to the glass.

Never clean the glass with abrasive products. The scratches could be transformed into cracks and

the glass could break. Never try to clean the hot glass when the stove is in use. You will find

cleaning products at your retailer.

Never use flammable products, which could cause an explosion.

Inspect the glass regularly in order to detect cracks. If you see a crack, extinguish the fire

immediately return the door to your retailer to replace the glass before re-using your stove. Never

use your stove if a glass is broken.

Never replace the glass by another material. If needed, you must replace it by another glass of the

same size that you can get from your retailer or at Nordic Steel Products Int.

GLASS REPLACEMENT

Directions to be followed:

MANIPULATE THE GLASS WITH CAUTION TO AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF

1) Assembled welded door.

2) Glass corner’s junction.

3) Glass support (to prevent them from coming down).

4) Center glass.

5) Side glasses.

6) Glass Outline.

7) Door’s inside frame.

8) Washers.

9) Nuts.

10) 3/4’’ gasket.

REFRACTORY BRICKS REPLACEMENT

Do not use the stove when there is a missing or broken refractory brick.

If a refractory brick is broken replace it by buying a similar one.

1-You can purchase replacement refractory bricks at your retailer or at Nordic Steel Products Int.

REFRACTORY BRICKS

MAINTENANCE

DOOR

Before heating the stove for the first time, it is necessary to remove all the labels and wash the door

with soapy water (soft soap). Because, the least traces on the door will remain forever when

heating your stove

Clean your stove regularly by removing the ashes. Then, deposit ashes in a steel container

provided with a tight lid. This container should not have any other type of waste in it.

The door and the gasket must always be clean and in good condition. Perhaps for an intensive use,

it will be necessary to replace the door’s joint if it loses its elasticity. Check the door’s sealing

periodically; a damaged or used gasket must be replaced immediately. Contact the nearest store

for spare parts.

Note that solid fuel stoves must be frequently cleaned because an accumulation of soot, creosote

and ashes can be formed. Directions must be given concerning the measures to be taken if there is

a chimney fire due to an accumulation of soot or creosote.

CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE

It is important to inspect the chimney or clean it periodically.

It is necessary to clean the chimney after an accumulation of 3 mm creosote.

After two months of continuous service, it would be preferable to clean the chimney and dismount

the pipe of the stove to remove soot and creosote.

ASHES

•Remove ashes only when fire is extinguished and has cooled off.

•Deposit ashes in a metal container with a tight lid.

•Do not keep ashes in the house because they release carbon monoxide and other harmful

products.

•Do not place them close to combustible materials. Ashes remain hot during days and could

cause a fire.

•Do not deposit ashes in cardboard box.

•Before beginning each heating season, check the interior and exterior of the stove and the

chimney in order to detect any defect or deterioration.

•To reduce the risks of chimney fires, check your chimney by regularly inspecting it in order to

check the accumulation of creosote. To reach it, unscrew the hat. A wood or plastic brush is

recommended to avoid scratches on the internal wall.

EXPANSION NOISES

Contraction and expansion noises during the heating/cooling cycle are normal phenomenon. It is

not necessary thus to worry.

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

A. Keep the children away from the stove when it is in use.

B. This stove was designed to burn wood in reasonable quantity. Avoid large fires, which could

damage the stove. Do not burn wet or green wood, or wood that contains salt, plywood or

melamine.

C. It is prohibited to use flammable liquid to begin or activate a fire. Preserve these products far

from the heat sources.

DWhen the stove is used for the first time make small fires in order to allow the refractory bricks to

solidify themselves.

E. During these first fires, the stove paint can release odour and smoke. Open a window to

decrease these nuisances. It can also prove to be necessary to open a window in the case of a

house built too hermetically or when an apparatus of ventilation is in function.

F. When fire is extinguished and the stove has cooled off, close the damper key and the fresh air

control until the next use of your stove.

G. If you must leave the stove lit without monitoring, make sure that the door is well closed by doing

it delicately. Leave the register open.

COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS

Note: The additional logs, curtains and furnishing must be at a minimum distance of 48'' (1220

mm) of the stove. It is recommended to heat the chimney in order to avoid the risks of smoke. With

this intention, uses ignited newsprint and maintain it in direction of the chimney.

INSTALLATION IN MOBILE HOMES

The Evolution stove models are approved for mobile home. They are easy to install and must be

equipped with a surrounding air contribution kit.

1- The apparatus must be fixed on the ground by using the two holes in the base of the stove.

2- One should never install this apparatus in a bedroom.

3- This apparatus must be installed only with an approved Chimney 2100 according to standard

ULC S629 Canada and UL 103HT in the United States.

4- Before placing the apparatus at the selected place make sure that the structure of the house is

sufficiently solid for the weight of the stove and the chimney.

TYPE OF CHIMNEY

The type of chimney must have a minimal diameter of 6’’ (152 mm) and must be approved for

residential use (Can.: ULC S629; EU. UL 103HT) the evacuation duct must never pass through an

attic, cupboard, closet or any other enclosed area, as well as floor, ceiling or a partition made of

combustible.

To continue the installation of the chimney please refer to the chosen chimney manufacturer’s

manual.

CHIMNEY

The stove should not be connected to a distribution sheath: incinerator, heating or ventilation

system.

This apparatus requires a masonry chimney or a certified (2100) prefabricated chimney and its

components must be in conformity with the Canadian standard and having appropriate dimensions

If the chimney is in masonry, we recommend having it inspected and repaired when needed. A

chimney with a stainless liner may be necessary to reduce the diameter to a more effective

dimension.

To help obtain a suitable draft, the top of the chimney must extend 3' above the exit point of the

roof and exceed at least 2', the highest point of the roof in a radius of 10'. See figure at the bottom

of the page.

The flue should never pass through an attic, cupboard, closet or any other enclosed area, or a floor,

ceiling or a partition made of combustible materials.

For the connection of the stove to the chimney, choose a 24 gauge sheet pipe. Make sure that the

bore is equal to the diameter of the connection. (Never use a coated sheet).

MINIMUM HEIGHT OF THE CHIMNEY

The chimney must extend at least 3' (915 mm) past its point of contact with the roof and must be at

least 2' (610 mm) higher than any walls, roof or building in a radius of 10 ' (3050 mm). If the

chimney exceeds the roof by 5' (1525 mm) or more, it must have a chimney brace

FRESH AIR INPUT & RETURN OF SMOKE

Evolution stove installed properly should not produce smoke in the house. If the stove continues to

produce smoke, it will probably be for one of the following reasons:

1) The chimney’s external installation is defective or incorrect, engaging in problems of return of air

and, consequently, of difficult lightings.

2) The heating of the chimney is insufficient. Not to forget that the hotter the stove is, the more the

chimneys will intake smoke.

3) The doors or the air register input were closed again too quickly. The contribution of air is

essential with the maintenance of combustion

4) If the area is too airtight or the house presents a negative pressure and it does not have an

external air intake, the contribution of air to the stove will be more difficult than normal. Temporarily

open a window near to the stove to increase it.

5) Any ventilator (cook top exhaust fan, bathroom ventilator, central vacuum cleaner or drier) that

aspires the air towards outside can create a negative pressure in the house. Close them; open a

window near the stove to regulate this problem.

6) Wet wood releases more smoke while burning than seasoned wood. The wetter the wood is, the

less it releases heat and the more it produces creosote. If the wood burnt is very wet, inspect the

chimney every month that the stove is in use.

7) Make sure that the chimney is reasonably clean and free of any obstruction.

8) Check if the chimney is sufficiently high: minimum of 914 mm (3pi.) above its junction with the

roof (see figure page 7). If not, add additional lengths of duct which will increase the chimney’s

draft and will reduce the tendency of smoke return.

9) The chimneys joined with an external wall (see page 10 drawings of right-hand side) without

coating often present problems. Open a window near the stove, heat the chimney while presenting

paper in the shape of torch in the opening or by crumpling several newspaper’s pages in the stove,

to light at 3or 4different places, hold the door half open for a more active fire in the stove, during

this time, the chimney will be heated more quickly.

10) Always remove the surplus of ashes before lighting a fire. Maintain a thickness of ashes of 25,

4 mm (1in.) for optimized combustion and to maximize the duration of fire.
