SECTION 1.0 - INSTALLATION When installed and operated as described in th ese instructions, the Escape 1800 EPA wood stove is suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in residential installations. The Escape 1800 EPA wood stove is not intended for installation in a bedroom or a mobile hom e.
Some Escape 1800 models require a special assembl y. This assembly must be performed before positioning the appliance. Please note th at only DB03115 and DB03116 models require this additional assembly.
Then, install the legs using the bolts (B) supplied in a big in the firebox as shown below : The last step consists of installing the ash drawer. To do so, use the guides designed for this purpose loc.
1.2 POSITIONING THE STOVE It is very important to position the wood stove in an area that will favour the m ost efficient heat distribution throughout the house. The stove should therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the m ost spacious room possible.
Figure 1.3 Clearances to combustible materials.
1.3.1 REDUCED CLEARANCES You may decrease the clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. These heat radiat ion shields must be installed permanently, and can include sheet metal, a rigid non-co mbustible sheet or a masonry wall.

1.4 FLOOR PROTECTOR If the stove is to be installed on top of a com bustible floor, it must be guarded by a non-com bustible material extending at least 18” (300mm ) from the fr ont and 8” (200mm ) from the sides and the back of the firebox., as shown in Figure 1.
TIPS ON WOOD HEATING Wood is a renewable energy. It is also a very clean heat source when used with appliances that are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a standard accepted in Canada as well. EPA-certified wood stoves are different than conventional wood stoves.
SECTION 2.0 CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM) 2.1 DEFINITIONS For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions: • A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimne y , which attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house.
If you are using a masonry chimney, it is im porta nt that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code. It must be lin ed with f ire clay bricks, or clay tiles, sealed together with fire cement, or have a listed solid fuel burning stainless steel liner.
FIGURE 2.2 Minimum Height of the Chimney 2.2.1 Step by step installation of your factory-built chimney The way to install your chimney may vary from one chim ney manufacturer to another.
Typical installation through the wall FIGURE 2.2.1 (A) Typical installation through the wall.
1- Start by positioning your stove where you would lik e it to go, taking into account the minim um clearances to combustible material. You will then be able to determin e where the chim ney will pass through the wall. You will probably have to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the studs.
4- Then, from outside the building, slide a short chim ney length (attached to the tee) through the wall thimble. The chimney m ust extend at least 3 inches into the living space where it attaches to the stove pipe. 5- You can now install the wall support.
7- Authorities require that the chimney extend not le ss than 3 feet above th e highest point wh ere it passes through the roof of a building and not less than 2 feet above any portion of the building within 10 feet. If the chimney extends m ore than 5 feet above the roof deck, roof guys with telescoping legs and draw bands are required.
Ceiling support system If your chimney must rise inside the house and go through the ceiling, you need to connect it to your stove at the ceiling level.
1. Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to m ark the ceiling directly above your stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the joists. You can use a stud finder to locate the joists.
4. Once the support is secure, you can begin to asse mble the chimney by lowering the first section into the support. Make sure that the male coupler is pointing upwards, as indicated by the arrow on the chimney label. 5. Then, from beneath the support, insert the stove pipe adapter and twist-lock it into place.
7. Once you have cut through your roof and framed the joists, it is tim e to work outdoors. Authorities require that the chimney extend not le ss than 3 feet above th e highest point w here it passes through the roof of a building and not less that 2 feet above any portion of the building within 10 feet.
2.2.2 Typical installation through an existing masonry chimney You can also install your stove using your ex isting masonry chimney. To do so, follow the guideline s below. You may want to use a factory- built thimble, on construct your own brick thim ble.
FIGURE 2.2.2 (B) Factory Built Thimble.
FIGURE 2.2.2 (C) Brick Thimble.
2.3 CHIMNEY CONNECTOR Your chimney connector (comm only called stove pipe) and chimney must have the sam e diameter as the stove’s exhaust outlet. The stove pipe must be m ade of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum 24-gauge thickness (0.021" or 0.

2.4 DRAFT Your E.P.A Drolet stove’s performance will be optim ised if it is installed with a chimney (flue) system that provides an adequate draft. The draf t is the force that m oves air from the a.
2.5 OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR It is recommended to install 5’’ outside air intake in the room where the stove is located or nearby. The following are signs that a fresh air kit may be required: • Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke roll outs occur, wood burns poorly, or back-draft occurs whether or not there is combustion present.
A blower can be installed at the back of your E. P.A Drolet stove. This option is necessary if you wish to redistribute into a room the heat trapped at the back of your stove. By forcing hot air toward the front, the blower enables you to extend the ra diation and convection power of your stove.
SECTION 3.0 OPERATION Keep these instructions for future reference. WARNING: • ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED AS BREACHING CSA B365 ( CANADA ), AND ANSI NFPA 211 (USA). • DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE T HE FIRE .
3.1 SAFETY INFORMATION • These stoves are designed for safe operation WHEN BURNING WOOD ONLY . Altering or modifying the unit or installation without pr oper authorisation will void the certification, warranty, and safety listing, and may result in a safety hazard.
• Although the ceramic glass is extremely durabl e under any norm al use, a few precautions are required. Do not attempt to push logs further into the fire by using the door, as the glass may break if any solid object heavily contacts it.

3.2.2 Simple wood moisture test Add one large piece of wood to the top of an establishe d fire. If it starts to burn on three sides within one minute, it is dry and seasoned and right for burni ng. If it turns black and starts to burn in about three minutes or more, it is dam p.

3.5 MAINTAINING THE FIRE Once the wood has been consumed (or partially consum ed) and you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air control to its maxim um for approximately 15 seconds prior to opening the st ove door.
SECTION 4.0 MAINTENANCE 4.1 CLEANING AND PAINTING YOUR STOVE Clean the stove frequently so that soot, ash, and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean the stove when the unit is hot. Special care mu st be taken with plated surfaces in order to maintain the finish at its original brilliance.
4.3 GASKETING It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which makes your stove door air tight) once a year, in order to insure good control over the co mbustion, m aximum efficiency and security. To change the door gasket, simply remove the dam age d one.
4.5 CHIMNEY (FLUE) CLEANING Regular chimney (flue) maintenance, as well as good burning practices, are required to prevent chimney fires. When wood (especially green wood) is burned without adequate heat or air supply, it produces tar and other organic vapours ( smoke ), which combine with expelled moisture to f orm creosote.
