Vermont Castings Resolute Acclaim
2000893
Rules for Open Fire Viewing
WARNING: FOR SAFETY AND GREATEST
EFFICIENCY, OPERATE YOUR STOVE ONLY WITH
ALL DOORS/GRIDDLES FULLY CLOSED. THE
TEST STANDARD FOR YOUR STOVE WHEN IT IS
OPERATED IN THIS MODE IS UL 1482.
YOUR STOVE MAY BE USED AS A FIREPLACE
WITH THE FRONT DOOR OPEN OR REMOVED
ONLY WHEN THE SPARK SCREEN IS PLACED
CORRECTLY IN THE OPENING TO PROTECT
AGAINST THE POSSIBILITY OF SPARKS AND
EMBERS LEAVING YOUR STOVE. THE TEST
STANDARD FOR YOUR STOVE WHEN IT IS
OPERATED IN THIS MODE IS UL 737.
USE ONLY THE RESOLUTE ACCLAIM SPARK
SCREEN, PART #0133, WITH YOUR ACCLAIM .
RESOLUTE ACCLAIM SPARK SCREENS ARE
AVAILABLE FROM YOUR VERMONT CASTINGS’
AUTHORIZED DEALER.
The damper must be open as well whenever you
operate 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.
Clear the Ash Frequently
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 that they
drop through the grate. CAUTION: Do not put any tool
up into the secondary combustion chamber or you will
risk damaging the refractory package.
Remove and Store Ash Safely
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
depending 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 handling the ash pan. Keep it
level, and carry it outside for disposal. Empty the ash
into your ash disposal container. When you are fin-
ished, 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.
CAUTION: NEVER USE A VACUUM CLEANER TO
REMOVE ASH FROM THE STOVE; ALWAYS
REMOVE AND DISPOSE OF THE ASHES
PROPERLY.
