Overring — Caution!
Overring of your woodburning appliance represents a serious re hazard.
Overring can also warp your stove, break welds, permanently discolour the
plating and cause premature burnout of your stove. Repeated overrings will
void the warranty of this appliance.
To prevent overring:
1. If the air intake has little effect on dampering the re, excessive chimney draft is
the probable cause (especially on chimneys in excess of 20’ or 6.1m). Normal
chimney draft is approximately 0.05” (1.27 mm). Install a smoke pipe damper in
the pipe approximately 5’ (1.52m) from the oor. NOTE: Open damper before
opening door to prevent smoking.
2. Install a magnetic thermometer on the top of your stove near the ue collar or a
probe-type thermometer in the smoke pipe.
To prevent creosote buildup in the pipes, the stove should be run between 800°F
and 900°F (426.7˚C and 482.2˚C) for 30-45 minutes each burning day.
3. Except for the initial period after lighting (5-10 minutes), do not operate your stove
with the door open.
4. Ensure the ash pan door is tightly closed during operation. An open ash pan door
will allow excess draft through the rebox, causing overring. When emptying
ashes, clean thoroughly behind the ash pan to allow complete closure.
5. Clean your chimney regularly to remove creosote buildup. A chimney re is a
re hazard and will overre your stove. See page 26, “What to do if you have
a chimney re”
6. During operation, if any parts of the stove or pipe begin to glow the stove is overred.
Do not add fuel. Close all doors, dampers and draft controls completely until
glowing is eliminated and safe temperatures are restored. If overring conditions
persist on subsequent burnings, contact your dealer for remedial action.
