Surface Thermometer is a Valuable Guide to Operation
An optional surface thermometer tells you when to adjust
the air control, and when to refuel, Figure 2.8.
Figure 2.8-Taketemperaturereadingswithathermometerlocated
in the middle of the griddle.
For example, when the thermometer registers at least
450°F(230°C)onthestovetopafterstart-upyouknowthe
stove is hot enough and it may be time to close the damper
ifasu󰀩cientemberbedhasalsobeenestablished.Note
that the stove will warm up much sooner than the chimney,
though;awarmchimneyisthekeytoeasy,e󰀨ectivestove
operation.Whenthermometerreadingsdropbelow350°F.
(175°C)it’stimetoadjusttheaircontrolforahigherburn
rate or to reload the stove. A temperature reading over
650°F.(340°C)isasigntoreducetheairsupplytoslowthe
burn rate.
Usethefollowingtemperaturerangesasaguide:
• Readingsinthe350°-500°F.(175°-260°C)rangeindicate
low to medium heat output.
• 500°-600°F. (260°-315°C) readings indicate medium
heat output.
• Readingsof600°-650°F.(315-340°C)indicatehighheat
output. Operating your Encore® Model 2040-CAT-C
continuouslyatgriddletemperatureshigherthan650°F
(340°C)maydamagethecastironorenamelnish.
Use the Air Control Settings that Work Best for You
No single air control setting will t every situation. Each
installationwilldi󰀨erdependingonthequalityofthe fuel,
theamountofheatdesired,andhowlongyouwishthere
toburn; outdoor air temperature andpressure also a󰀨ect
draft.
The control setting also depends on your particular
installation’s “draft,” or the force that moves air from the
stove up through the chimney. Draft is a󰀨ected by such
things as the length, type, and location of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in
theEncore®Model 2040-CAT-C,andcouldevendamage
the stove. On the other hand, too little draft can cause
backpu󰀩ng into the room and/or the “plugging” of the
chimney.
Howdoyouknowifyourdraftisexcessivelyhighorlow?
Symptoms of too much draft include an uncontrollable
burnora glowing-redstovepart. Signsofweak draftare
smoke leaking into the room through the stove or chimney
connector joints or low heat output.
Insomenewerhomesthatarewell-insulatedandweather-
tight, poor draft may result from an insu󰀩cient air supply
inthehouse.Insuchinstances,anopenwindownearthe
stove on the windward side of the house can provide the
combustion air supply needed.
Another option for getting more combustion air to the stove
is to duct air directly from outside to the stove. In some
areas provisions for outside combustion air are required in
all new construction.
When rst using the stove, keep track of the air control
settings.Youwillquicklyndthataspecicsettingwillgive
youaxedamountofheat.Itmaytakeaweekortwoto
determine the amount of heat and the length of burn you
shouldexpectfromvarioussettings.
Most installations do not require a large amount of
combustion air, especially if adequate draft is available.
Donotforanyreasonattempttoincreasetheringofyour
heater by altering the air control adjustment range outlined
in these directions.
