Resolute
®
Acclaim Woodburning Stove
2000893
The damper must be open as well whenever you oper-
ate the Resolute Acclaim in the open-fire mode. This
will prevent smoke and combustion gases from entering
the room.
The spark screen fits inside the arch of the inner stove
front and is held in place by a top bail and two side
clips. (Fig. 32) To insert the screen, place the top bail
between the inner front and the air manifold. Push with
an even pressure on the sides until the clips snap into
place.
The front door may be left on or taken off. To remove it,
open it and retract the spring-loaded upper hinge pin.
Tilt the door slightly and lift it off the lower hinge pin.
The slanted grate is designed to shape the charcoal
bed to promote high temperatures near the entrance to
the secondary combustion chamber. The grates must
be kept free of heavy ash accumulation. Clear ash
manually every six to eight hours of operation or before
you reload.
To clear the ash, “hoe” the ash and charcoal forward
with a stove shovel or similar fireplace tool so they drop
through the grate. Do not put any tool up
into the secondary combustion chamber or you will risk
damaging the refractory package.
Check the ash pan before reloading the stove. If the
ash is close to the top, empty the pan. Before replacing
the ash pan, clear away any ash that has spilled over
the sides and back of the pan.
When burning wood, empty the
ash drawer regularly, typically
every one to three days. The
frequency will vary de-
pending on how hot you
run your stove: the
hotter the fire, the more
wood you burn, and the
faster ash will accumulate.
The ash pan is located in the ash
drop chamber with a handle attached to the front and
one to the rear. Always use stove gloves when han-
dling the ash pan. Keep it level, and carry it outside for
disposal. Empty the ash into your ash disposal con-
tainer. When you are finished, slide the pan back into
the stove.
Ash may contain hot coals and must be treated with
extreme care. It should be removed frequently and
placed outdoors in a metal container with a tight-fitting
lid. The closed container of ash should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the
ash is disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, it should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Wood ash may
be used as a garden fertilizer.
