sharp blow from a hammer or from the thermal shock of
rapidandextremetemperaturechange.
The cast plates expand and contract with changes in
temperature. When you rst begin using your Encore®
Model2040-CAT-C,minimizethermalstressbylettingthe
platesadjustgraduallyduringthreeor fourinitialbreak-in
res.
C. Wood Burning Operation
Burn only solid wood in the Encore® Model 2040-CAT-C
WoodStove,andburnitdirectlyonthegrate.Donotelevate
thefuel.Donotburncoalorotherfuels.IntheUnitedStates,
it is against the law to operate this wood heater in a manner
inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
The bypass damper must be open when starting a re
or when refueling.
Do not use chemicals or uids to start the re. Do not
burn garbage. Never use ammable uids such as
gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal
lighter uid, naptha, engine oil or similar liquids to
start or “freshen up” a re in this heater. Keep all such
liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
The following procedures are important for reliable, clean
ande󰀩cientoperationofyourwoodstove.Recommend16”
logs Properly seasoned (up to a year for denser woods)
Splitto3”to6”crosssections
Cold start:
Whenstartingyourstoveatroomtemperatureandwhenno
burning coals are present the following kindling procedure
has been found to be the most reliable.
Stackabout4lbsofnelysplitkindling(1”diameterorless
10to20pcs)ina‘logcabin’styledirectlyagainsttherear
wall. Place a small amount of newspaper on top of this
pile with one or two small pieces of kindling on top. This
is referred to as a top down method and while providing a
slower start, also serves to preheat the combustion properly
resultinginareliablestart.,Figure2.4.
Withthebypassdamperopenandtheprimaryairsettoits
highestposition,lightthenewspaper.Leavethefrontdoor
cracked until the kindling ignites, then close the doors.
Aftermostofthekindlinghasburnedintocoals(15to20
minutes),openthe front doors and push remaining coals
and unburned wood against the rear wall. Add several
piecesoflargersplitwoodbetween2to3inchesindiameter
(about6lbs)directlyagainsttherearwallandontopofthe
kindling coals. Close the doors and bypass to engage the
combustion system. The air should remain on high for up
to one hour or until the wood is mostly converted to coals.
After a hot bed of coals is produced, open the door and
bypass damper and push the remaining coals again toward
the rear wall. Add large pieces of wood starting against
the rear wall and on top of the coals. Close the doors and
bypass immediately after loading the stove.
Ideally,allowthiswoodloadtoburnatthehighestairsetting
forthe entire wood load. If this is not possible, thewood
should burn for at least 30 minutes prior to reducing the
primary air setting.
D. Ways to Add Fuel
To open the front doors, insert the handle into the door latch
stubandturnitclockwise,Figure2.5.
To close them, always close the left door rst. Turn the
handle in the right door to the left and up (to the open
position)andcloseit.Finally,pushonthedoorasyouturn
the handle counterclockwise. The doors will draw in slightly,
andthehandleshouldo󰀨ersomeresistanceasyouturnit
to the closed position.
To reduce the risk of breaking the glass, avoid striking the
glass or slamming the doors.
When you are not using the door handle, store it in the
holder behind the left front leg of the stove.
WARNING
!
Fireplace stoves equipped with doors should be
operated only with doors fully open or doors fully
closed. If doors are left partly open, gas and ame may
be drawn out of the replace stove opening, creating
risks from both re and smoke.
