This manual contains instructions for Installation, Operation & Maintenance.
Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to follow
instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:
1) When installing your stove, particular attention should be paid to fire protection. If this room heater is not
properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions. Contact
local building or fire officials or authority having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection and
permit requirements in your area.
2) CAUTION: Never use gasoline or gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to
start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from heater while it is in use.
3) During operation, if any part of the stove starts to glow, the stove is in an overfired condition. Close the air controls
completely until the glowing has stopped. OVERFIRING VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY!
4) Cool ashes should be disposed of carefully, using a metal container.
5) Do not burn wet or green wood. Store wood in a dry location.
6) DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE
OIL. Do not burn treated wood, or wood with salt (driftwood, etc.). Burning materials other than wood
(including charcoal) under adverse conditions may generate carbon monoxide in the home, resulting in
illness or possible death.
7) Do not permit creosote or soot to accumulate excessively in the chimney or inside the firebox.
8) Check your chimney system thoroughly when installing into an existing metal or masonry chimney. Seek
professional advice if in doubt about its condition.
9) Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue already serving another appliance.
10) Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as shown in this manual for this appliance.
11) Build fire on brick firebox floor. Do not use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.
12) HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! Keep children, pets, clothing and furniture away. Contact can cause skin burns.
13) Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system
14) RISK OF FIRE! Do not operate with stove door open, without the firescreen, or ash removal system door open.
15) For further information refer to NFPA 211 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B365 (Canada).
16) Do not operate without fully assembling all components. Burning your stove without the legs attached (if supplied
with unit) will void your warranty, and could present a serious safety hazard
17) Do not oeprate with broken glass..
PRIOR TO FIRST FIRE: Remove all labels from glass. Clean plated surfaces with a glass cleanser and soft
cloth to prevent staining from fingerprint oils.

LISTINGS and SAFETY NOTICES
FIRE SAFETY: To provide reasonable fire safety, the following
should be given serious consideration:
These installation instructions describe the installation and opera-
tion of the QUADRA-FIRE ISLE ROYALE woodstove. This stove
meets the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency’s 1990 particulate
emission standards. The stove is listed by OMNI-Test Laborato-
ries, Inc. to UL Safety Standard 1482, and ULC S627, and (UM)
84-HUD., Report number 061-S-18-2. This stove is approved for
mobile home installations when not installed in a sleeping room and
when an outside combustion air inlet is provided. The structural
integrity of the mobile home floor, ceiling, and walls must be main-
tained. The stove must be properly grounded to the frame of the
mobile home and only use listed double-wall pipe. Outside Air Kit,
Part 831-1780 must be installed in a mobile home installation.
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your
home to ensure your safety. They should be located away
from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas.
Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and
installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly.
2.
3.
4.
Aconveniently located ClassAfire extinguisher to contend
with small fires resulting from burning embers.
A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
Check with your local building code agency before you begin your
installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the
need for permits and follow-up inspections. Be sure local build-
ing codes do not supersede UL specifications and always obtain
a building permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be
unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during instal-
lation, please contact your local dealer.
A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:
In the event of a chimney fire:
A. Notify fire department.
B. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation.
C. Close all openings into the stove.
D. While awaiting fire department, watch for ignition of
adjacent combustibles from overheated stove pipe,
hot embers or sparks from the chimney.
Inspect and clean vent system frequently in accordance with the
instructions contained in this manual. Do not connect this unit to
a chimney serving another appliance.
When using optional Blower, Part 831-1701, route power cord away
from unit. Do not route cord under or in front of appliance.
VENTING SYSTEM
The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a
chimney. These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures
inside the chimney may exceed 2000°F (1100°C) in the event of
a creosote fire. To protect against the possibility of a house fire,
the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed
and maintained. An approved thimble must be used when a
connection is made through a combustible wall to a chimney.
A chimney support package must be used when a connection
is made through the ceiling to a prefabricated chimney. These
accessories are absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances
to combustible wall and ceiling material. Follow venting
manufacturer’s clearances when installing venting system.
Do not elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on firebrick.
Do not overfire - if heater or chimney connector glows, you are
overfiring. Stove thermometer recommended.
Operate only with the door closed unless using a firescreen. Open
only to add fuel to the fire. Operating with the door open can cause
hot embers or sparks to fall out and a fire may result.
I
NSTALLATION MATERIALS NEEDED FOR YOUR SAFETY

FLOOR PROTECTION
The floor must be non-combustible material, extending
beneath heater and to the front, sides and rear as indicated.
The floor must be non-combustible or otherwise adequately
protected from radiant heat given off by the unit and from
sparks and falling embers. A layer of thin brick or ceramic
tile over a combustible floor is not sufficient. See Alternate
floor protection calculation sample on page 8.

WHEN LOCATING YOUR STOVE consider safety, conve-
nience, traffic flow, and the fact that the stove will need a
chimney and chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan
your installation on paper, using exact measurements for
clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the
installation. If you’re not using an existing chimney, place the
stove where there will be a clear passage for a factory-built
listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.

AVOID FIRE: Maintain the designated clearances to combus-
tibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must main-
tain the designated air space clearance around the chimney.
This space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural
heat removal from the area. Insulation in this space will
cause a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE:
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by
the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
WE RECOMMEND that you have a qualified building inspec-
tor and your insurance company representative review your
plans before and after installation.

Calculating Alternate Floor Protection
Material
4. Re-assemble in reverse order.
Thermal Conductivity: k value
The k value indicates the amount of heat (in BTU’s) that will flow
in 1 hour through 1 square foot of a uniform material 1 inch thick
for each degree (F) of temperature difference from one side of
the material to the other. The LOWER the k factor means less
heat is being conducted through the non-combustible material
to the combustible material beneath it. The k value of a mate-
rial must be equal or smaller then the required k value to be
acceptable.
REAR FLUE DEFLECTOR COVER PLATE
This cover plate is used when the flue collar is turned for a
rear vent application.
Please note this cover plate will not
work with the Low-Profile Kit
(BTU) (inch)
(foot2 (hour) (oF)
Thermal Resistance: R value
The R value is a measure of a material’s resisteance to
heat transfer. R value is convenient when more than one
material is used since you can add the R values together,
whereas you can not do this for k value. The HIGHER the R
factor means less heat is being conducted through the non-
combustible material to the combustible material beneath it.
The R value of a material must be equal or larger then the
required R value to be acceptable.
Converting k to R:
Divide 1 by k and multiply the results times the thickness in
inches of the material.
R = 1/k x inches of thickness
Converting R to k:
Divide the inches of thickness by R.
k = inches of thickness/R
Calculatons:
Mounting Screws
Example: Floor protection requires k value of 0.84 and 3/4 inch
thick.
1. After the flue collar has been reversed for a rear vent
installation, install the cover plate on the stove with the
two screws provided.
Alternative material has a k value of 0.6 and is 3/4 inch thick.
Divide 0.6 by .75 = k value of 0.80. This k value is smaller than
0.84 and therefore is acceptable.
Bend Flange Down
REVERSIBLE FLUE COLLAR
The flue collar is reversible for either a top or rear venting
installation. The unit is shipped with the flue collar in the top
vent position.
CONVERTING COLLAR FOR REAR VENT INSTALLATION
1. Remove 5 Phillips head screws from the rear shield, lift
shield up and set aside.
2. Remove bolts from each side of the flue transition (2
total). (Place your free hand in flue opening to locate
and retrieve nuts attached to bolts.)
2. Bend the cover plate flange down.
3. Secure the cover plate with the remaining two screws.

Isle Royale Wood Stove
Three factors work together as a system to create the flue
draft; 1) availability of combustion air; 2) heat generated
from the fire, and 3) diameter and height of the flue system..
Increasing or decreasing any one of them will affect the
other two and thus change the amount of draft in the entire
system.
CHIMNEY HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS / DRAFT
To be sure that your stove burns properly, the chimney draft
(static pressure) should be approximately -.04” water column
(W.C.) during a low burn and -.10” W.C. during a high burn,
measured 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the stove after
one hour of operation at each burn setting.
Asource of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combustion
to take place. The combustion air enters the firebox below
the ash catcher and is directed to the upper front of the fire-
box. These openings are regulated by the Primary Air Slide
Control and Start-up Air Control, (see page 17 for operation
of these controls). It is important to realize that whatever
combustion air is consumed by the fire must be replaced.
If you are using room air, the air is replaced via air leakage
that occurs around windows and under doors, etc. However,
in most newly constructed houses, mobile homes, or even
existing homes that are fitted with tightly sealed doors and
windows, the area from which the combustion air is taken
is relatively air tight. In these cases, an outside air source
must be made available to feed combustion air from outside
the home into the stove. An Outside Air Kit is available as
an option, Part 831-1780. The kit is a requirement for mobile
home installations.
NOTE: These are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat
for individual installations.
The stove was designed for and tested on a 6 inch (152mm)
chimney, 12 ft.-14 ft. (360-420cm) high, measured from the
base of the stove. The further your stack height or diameter
varies from this configuration, the possibility of performance
problems increases. In addition, exterior conditions such as
roof line, surrounding trees, prevailing winds and nearby hills
can influence stove performance.
A masonry chimney or a listed factory-built UL103 HT Class
“A” chimney must be the required height above the roof
and any other nearby obstructions. The chimney must be
at least 3 ft. (91cm) higher than the highest point where it
passes through the roof and at least 2 ft. (61cm) higher than
the highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10 ft.
(305cm) of the chimney, measured horizontally. See 2-10-3
Rule below.
A specific volume of air, determined by the diameter and
height of the chimney connector and chimney, is contained
within the flue system. As heat from the fire enters the flue,
it warms this air causing it to rise. The air moving up the
flue draws smoke and more heated air from the fire with it,
thus establishing draft. The amount of draft depends on the
temperature of the heated air and the volume of air that is
contained in the flue system.
These are safety requirements and are not meant to
assure proper flue draft.
We recommend using a minimum total system height of 12
ft. (360cm), measured from the flue collar to the top of the
chimney (not including chimney cap).
If the fire is difficult to start, and smoke spills out of the door,
or you find it hard to establish and maintain a moderately
high burn rate, then the flue draft is too low and corrective
measures must be taken.
2-10-3 RULE
2 ft Min (61cm)
3 ft Min
(91cm)
If you still suspect you have a low draft problem, it may be
necessary to increase the volume of air in your flue system.
Since the diameter of your flue system is matched with the
size of the flue collar and should not be changed, the height
of the system will need to be increased. Add chimney a little
at a time until the draft improves, and ensure that the flue
collar and venting section are sealed.
10 ft Min
(305cm)
Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and
can usually make suggestions or discover problems that will
easily correct your flue draft problem, allowing your wood-
stove and its flue system to operate correctly and provide
safe and economical heat for your home.
A proper amount of flue draft is required to assure the safe
and efficient operation of the this woodstove. Flue draft is
measured as negative pressure in the chimney. The amount
of negative pressure determines the strength of the draft.
This draft performs two important roles in the operation of
the woodstove. It draws the combustion air into the firebox,
and pulls the smoke out of the chimney.

The flue should be checked to determine that it is not too large
FLUE SYSTEMS
for the stove. NFPA 211 allows the cross-sectional area of
the flue to be no more than 3 times the cross-sectional area
of the flue collar of the stove (28 x 3 = 84 square inches). It
is recommended that a chimney with a larger diameter be
relined, since the oversized flue can cause poor performance
and contribute to the accumulation of creosote. (See page 24
for more information about troubleshooting draft problems).
There are two separate and different parts to a flue system: the
chimney connector and the chimney itself.
1. Single wall connector or stovepipe. This must be at least
24 gauge mild steel or 26 gauge blue steel. The sections
must be attached to the stove and to each other with the
crimped (male) end pointing toward the stove. See Figure
10A. All joints, including the connection at the stove collar,
should be secured with three sheet metal screws. Make
sure to follow the minimum clearances to combustibles as
set out on pages 6 and 7 of this manual. Where passage
through the wall, or partition of combustible construction
is desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-
B365.
CAUTION! DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a
masonry chimney, special methods are needed. There are
several ways to make this connection, including the construc-
tion of a masonry thimble. This installation shall conform to
CAN/CSA-B365. Check with your local building authorities
or consult the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA
211). Refer to Figure 11B (page 11) and Figures 12A &
12B (page 12).
2. Factory-built listed chimney connector (vented). A listed
connector (vented) must be used when installing this unit
in a mobile home. A listed chimney and listed connector
must be used. they must conform to each other to ensure
a proper fit and seal.

a listed chimney liner system. See Figure 10B. Make sure
there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deteriora-
tion and blockage. It is best to have the chimney inspected
by a professional and be sure to have the chimney cleaned
before the stove is installed and operated.

SOLID PACK CHIMNEY WITH METAL SUPPORTS AS A THIMBLE
For the method of installation to a masonry chimney shown in Figures 12A & 12B, (page 12) it will be necessary to purchase
a 12 inch (305mm) long 8 inch (203mm) inside diametert, section of prefabricated listed solid pack chimney to use as a
thimble. Purchase a wall spacer, trim collar, and a wall band manufactured to fit the chimney section you purchase.
The safety features of this system are two fold: 1) a 2 inch (51mm) air space between the chimney section and combustible
wall; and, 2) the 1 inch (25mm) air space around the chimney connector as it passes through the chimney section to the
chimney.
The location of the opening through the wall to the chimney must leave a minimum 18 inches (457mm) vertical clearance
between the connector pipe and the ceiling to prevent the ceiling from catching fire.
Measure as shown in Figure 11A. Cut an opening in the wall large enough to accommodate the outside dimension of the
chimney section plus the minimum air space specified by its manufacturer. It may be necessary to cut the wall studs and
install a header and a sill frame to maintain the wall support. The hole in the chimney must have at least an 8 inch (203mm)
diameter fire clay liner or equivalent, secured with refractory mortar. If it is necessary to cut a hole in the chimney liner, use
extreme care to keep it from shattering.

CONNECTION TO A METAL PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufac-
turer’s installation instructions must be followed precisely.
It will be necessary to install the ceiling support package
or wall pass through, “T” section package, firestops (when
needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, and
any other materials deemed necessary by the instructions
of manufacturer of the prefabricated chimney. Maintain
the proper clearance to the structure as recommended by
the manufacturer. This clearance is usually a minimum of
2 inch (51mm), although it may vary by manufacturer or for
certain components. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions
carefully.

residence through the ceiling and the roof. Install an attic
insulation shield to maintain the specified clearance to insu-
lation. Insulation in this air space will cause a heat buildup
which may ignite the ceiling joists. This method of installa-
tion requires, at minimum, a ceiling support package, an
insulation shield and roof flashing. Figure 14A.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE USING STOVE
FINAL STAGE
BURNING PROCESS
The final stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs
when the flammable gases have been mostly burned and
only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of
the burn. The coals burn with hot blue flames.
In recent years there has been an increasing concern about
air quality. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been
placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order
to improve the situation, we at Quadra-Fire have developed
cleaner-burning wood stoves that surpass the requirements
for emissions established by our governing agencies. These
wood stoves, like any other appliances, must be properly
operated in order to insure that they perform the way they
are designed to perform. Improper operation can turn most
any wood stove into a smoldering environmental hazard.
It is very important to reload your stove while enough lively
hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of heat
needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood. It is best
to open the air controls for a short while before reloading.
This livens up the coalbed. Open door slowly so that ash
or smoke does not exit stove through opening. You should
also break up any large chunks and distribute the coals so
that the new wood is laid on hot coals.
KINDLING or 1st STAGE
Air quality is important to all of us, and if we choose to use
wood to heat our homes we should do so responsibly. To
do this we need to learn to burn our stoves in the cleanest
way possible. Doing this will allow us to continue using our
wood stoves for many years to come.
It helps to know a little about the actual process of burning in
order to understand what goes on inside a stove. The first
stage of burning is called the kindling stage. In this stage, the
wood is heated to a temperature high enough to evaporate
the moisture which is present in all wood. The wood will
reach the boiling point of water (212°F / 100C) and will not
get any hotter until the water is evaporated. This process
takes heat from the coals and tends to cool the stove.
AIR CONTROLS
START-UP AIR SYSTEM
The combustion air enters at the rear of the firebox through
the rear air tubes. This air supply is controlled by the Start-
up Air Control. For more air push control in, for less air pull
control out.
Fire requires three things to burn: fuel, air and heat. So,
if heat is robbed from the stove during the drying stage,
the new load of wood has reduced the chances for a good
clean burn. For this reason, it is always best to burn dry,
seasoned firewood. When the wood isn’t dry, you must open
the air controls and burn the stove at a high burn setting for
a longer time to start it burning. The heat generated from the
fire should be warming your home and establishing the flue
draft, not evaporating the moisture out of wet, unseasoned
wood, resulting in wasted heat.
PRIMARY AIR SYSTEM
The primary air enters below the ash catcher and is directed
to the upper front of the firebox, near the top of the glass
door and to the lower front of firebox. This preheated
air supplies the necessary fresh oxygen to mix with the
unburned gases, helping to create secondary, tertiary and
quaternary combustions. This air is regulated by the Primary
Air Slide Control. For more primary air slide control left, for
less air, slide control to the right.
The air control to the right of the stove is called the Start-Up
Air Control; it is used during the kindling stage of burning.
It must be closed (pulled out) after the first 5 to 15 minutes.
Figure 20A.
2nd STAGE
The next stage of burning, the secondary stage, is the period
when the wood gives off flammable gases which burn above
the fuel with bright flames. During this stage of burning it is
very important that the flames be maintained and not allowed
to go out. This will ensure the cleanest possible fire. If you
are adjusting your stove for a low burn rate, you should
close down the air to the point where you can still maintain
some flame. If the flames tend to go out, the stove is set
too low for your burning conditions. The air control slide in
the center of the stove, beneath the ashcatcher, is the one
used to adjust the stove for burn rates. This is called the
Primary Air Slide Control.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Cont’d)
CAUTION: Before lighting your first fire in the stove: 1) make certain that the baffle is correctly posi-
tioned. It should be resting against the rear support; 2) Follow instructions on page 22 for cleaning
plated surfaces, and; 3) Remove all labels from glass.front.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar
liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater
while it is in use.
BUILDING A FIRE
There are many ways to build a fire. The basic principle is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites
the fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning firewood. Here is one method that works well:
1. Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor. Heating the flue with slightly crumpled newspaper before
adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.
2. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.
3. Open Start-Up Air Control and Primary Air Slide Control fully. After 5 to 15 minutes, when the fire is well established, gently
pull Start-Up Air Control forward until resistance is felt. Do not allow control to "spring back" into the open position.
4. Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in the immediate area of the stove. Be sure the room is adequately
ventilated and the flue unobstructed.
5. Light the paper in the stove. NEVER light or rekindle stove with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter fluid; the results can
be fatal.
6. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-length logs 3 inches (76mm) or 4 inches (102mm) in diameter. Be careful
not to smother the fire. Stack the pieces of wood carefully: near enough to keep each other hot, but far enough away from
each other to allow adequate air flow between them.
7. When ready to reload the stove, add more logs. Large logs burn slowly, holding a fire longer. Small logs burn fast and hot,
giving quick heat.
8. Adjust the Start-Up Air Control and Primary Air Slide Control; the more you close down (slide right) the Primary Air Slide
Control, the lower and slower the fire will burn. The more you open (slide left) the Primary Air Slide Control, the more
heat will be produced. The Start-Up Air Control is only used for the first 5 to 15 minutes.
9. As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 7 and 8 will maintain a continuous fire throughout the season.
NOTE: The special high temperature paint that your stove is finished with will cure as your stove heats. You will notice an odor
and perhaps see some vapor rise from the stove surface; this is normal. We recommend that you open a window until the
odor dissipates and paint is cured.
NOTE: Stove should be run full open for 15 minutes a day to keep air passages clean.
WARNING! DO NOT LEAVE THE FIRE UNATTENDED WHEN THE
DOOR IS UNLATCHED. UNSTABLE FIREWOOD COULD FALL OUT
OF THE FIREBOX CREATING A FIRE HAZARD TO YOUR HOME.
OPACITY
This helps to determine how cleanly your stove is burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when an object
is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen. As you
become familiar with your stove, you should periodically check the opacity of the smoke column emitted from your chimney.
This will allow you to know how to burn your stove as nearly smoke-free as possible (aim for a goal of 0% opacity).

BURN RATES
•
•
STARTING FIRE: Start fire with both controls fully open (Start-up Air Control pushed all the way IN and Primary Slider Control all
the way to the LEFT.) Close Start-up Air Control after approximately 5 to 15 minutes,
HIGH: Leave the Primary Air Slide Control fully open. It is important to do this when reloading the stove. Failure to do this could
result in excessive emissions (opacity).
After a wood load has been burning for 5 to 15 minutes on High set the controls as listed below to achieve
the following burn rates:
•
MEDIUM HIGH: Close the Primary Slide Control to 1/2 inch to 1-1/8 inches (13mm to 29mm) open. (Slide left to open, right to close).
Start-Up Air Control is closed.
•
•
MEDIUM LOW: Close the Primary Slide Control to 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch (3mm to 13mm) open. Start-Up Air Control is closed.
LOW: Gradually close down the Primary Slider ontrol, making sure to maintain flames in the stove. Start-UpAir Control is closed.
It is very important to maintain flames in your stove during the first few hours of a low burn to avoid excessive air pollution.
WOOD SELECTION AND STORAGE
CAUTION: DO NOT STORE WOOD CLOSER THAN THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES OF THE STOVE
WITHIN THE SPACE REQUIRED FOR FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL
Burn only dry seasoned wood! This will not only minimize creosote formation, but also provide the most efficient heat
output. Even dry wood contains at least 15% moisture by weight and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney
hot for as long as it takes to maintain particulate (smoke) burning. It is a waste of energy to burn unseasoned wood of any
variety. The heat generated from the fire should be warming your home and establishing the flue draft, not evaporating
the moisture out of wet, unseasoned wood, resulting in wasted heat.
Dead wood lying on the forest floor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing dead wood can
be considered to be about two-thirds seasoned. To tell if wood is dry enough to burn, check the ends of the logs. If there
are cracks radiating in all directions from the center, it is dry. If your wood sizzles in the fire, even though the surface is
dry, it may not be fully cured. Splitting wood before it is stored reduces drying time. Wood should be stacked so that both
ends of each piece are exposed to air, since more drying occurs through the cut ends than the sides. This is true even with
wood that has been split. Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or covered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets of
scrap plywood, etc., as uncovered wood can absorb water from rain or snow, delaying the seasoning process.
OPTIONAL BLOWER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Initial (cold) start-up: Leave blower off until your stove is hot and a good coalbed is established. The blower may be
turned on approximately 30 minutes after a good coalbed is established.
2. High burn setting: The blower may be left on throughout the burn at your desired setting.
3. Medium burn settings: The blower should be left off until a good burn is established, then turned on at your desired
setting.
4. Low burn setting: The blower tends to cool off the stove. Leave blower off until burn is well established. Then turn
on at your desired rate.
5. The highest blower speed is obtained by turning the speed control on and then adjusting counterclockwise towards
"OFF" as far as possible without turning the blower off. For a low blower speed, turn the control knob clockwise as far
as possible.

MAINTENANCE
CREOSOTE
TO EMPTY THE ASH PAN AND DISPOSE OF ASHES:
FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL: When wood is
burned slowly it produces tar and other organic vapors which
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creo-
sote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of
a newly-started or a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this
creosote creates an extremely hot fire which may damage the
chimney or even destroy the house. The chimney connector
and chimney should be inspected at least once every two
months during the heating season to determine if a creosote
or soot build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated,
it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
1. Allow the stove to cool completely.
2. CAUTION ! Ash coals can remain extremely hot for
several days. Protect your hands with gloves when
removing the ash pan.
3. DO NOT OPERATE WITHASH PAN DOOR OPEN OR
WITHASH PAN REMOVED. The hinged door will open
from the right hand side. Pull ash pan out carefully.
4. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
INSPECTION: The chimney connector and chimney should
be inspected at least once every two months during the heat-
ing season to determine if a soot or creosote buildup have
occurred. Inspect the system at the stove connection and
at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote
deposits quicker, so it is important to check the chimney from
the top as well as from the bottom.
5. Replace ash pan and close ash door handle.
REMOVAL: If soot or creosote have accumulated, it should
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Use a brush
specifically designed for the type of chimney in use. A chim-
ney sweep can perform this service. It is also recommended
that before each heating season the entire system be profes-
sionally inspected, cleaned, and repaired if necessary.
Prior to brushing the chimney clean, follow these steps to
ensure that the accumulation of ash and creosote falls directly
into the firebox for removal.

Swings Open
CHIMNEY CLEANING
1. Remove all ash from the firebox and extinguish all hot
embers before disposal. Allow the stove to cool com-
pletely.
OVERFIRING
2. Close the door tightly and proceed with sweeping the
chimney.
Do not overfire. Using flammable liquids or too much wood,
burning trash in the stove, or allowing too much air into the
stove may result in overfiring. If the chimney connector or
stove glows red or even worse, white, the stove is overfired.
This condition may ignite creosote in the chimney, which
can be dangerous, possibly causing a house fire. If you
overfire, immediately close the air controls and door, if open,
to reduce the air supply to the fire. Overfiring will void the
stove warranty.
3. Sweep the collected ashes into the ash removal box, and
empty. Clean out the remaining ashes from firebox.
4. Open top-loading door and vacuum out.
ASH REMOVAL & DISPOSAL
The stove is equipped with an ash removal system. We
recommend emptying the ash pan at least once a week
when the stove is in constant operation. The amount of ash
is dependent on the type of wood being burned.
FIREBRICK
The firebox of your Quadra-Fire stove is lined with high quality
firebrick, which has exceptional insulating properties. There
is no need to use a grate; simply build a fire on the firebox
floor of your stove. Do not operate stove without firebrick.
DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP IN THE ASHPAN
UNTIL THEY REACH THE GRATE. THIS WILL LEAD TO
PREMATURE DETERIORATION OF THE GRATE AND
MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO EMPTY THE ASH PAN.

MAINTENANCE (CONT'D)
GLASS CARE
GLASS REPLACEMENT
Replace with 5mm ceramic glass only
NOTE: Remove all labels from glass prior to lighting
the first fire.
1. Ensure that the fire is out and the appliance is cool to
the touch.
This stove is equipped with ceramic, heat-resistant glass,
which can only be broken by impact or misuse. Do not slam
the stove door or impact the glass. When closing the door,
make sure that logs do not protrude against the glass.
2. Protect a table or counter top with padding or towels.
3. Remove door with broken glass from the appliance by
lifting door up and off of the hinges.
Inspect the glass regularly for cracks or breaks. If you detect
a crack or break, extinguish the fire immediately and contact
your Dealer for replacement.
4. Lay door face down on a table or counter making sure
handle and handle attachment knob hang over the
edge of the table top so door lays flat, on a soft sur-
face.
A portion of the combustion air entering the firebox is
deflected down over the inside of the door glass. This air
flow “washes” the glass, helping to keep smoke from adher-
ing to its surface. When operated at a low burn rate, less
air will be flowing over the glass and the smokey, relatively
cool condition of a low fire will cause the glass to become
coated. Operating the stove with the Primary Air Control
all the way open for 15-20 minutes should remove the built
up coating. If the deposits on the glass are not very heavy,
normal glass cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be
removed by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by
using a commercially available oven cleaner. After using an
oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any residue with a
glass cleaner or soap and water. Oven cleaner left on during
the next firing can permanently stain the glass and damage
the finish on plated metal surfaces.
5. Remove the screws from each glass retainer.
6. Remove the glass.
7. Position the glass with edges evenly overlapping the
opening in the front door.
8. Replace the glass retainers. Be careful not to cross
thread the screws.
9. Tighten each retainer just a few turns until each is
secured. Then continue to tighten each retainer alter-
nately, a few turns at a time, until the glass panel is
tightened snugly.
10. Replace the door on the appliance.
Do not clean the glass with abrasive materials that may
scratch or otherwise damage the glass. Scratches on the
glass can develop into cracks or breaks. Never attempt to
clean the glass while a fire is in the unit. The best method
for maintaining clean glass is to operate the stove efficiently
by using dry well seasoned wood and burning moderate to
hot fires.
CARE AND CLEANING OF PLATED SURFACES
Clean plated surfaces with vinegar or a glass cleaner before
lighting your first fire.
CAUTION: Do not use polishes with abrasives as it will
scratch the surface.
WARNING !
DO NOT OPERATE THE WOODSTOVE IF THE
DOOR GLASS IS BROKEN OR MISSING. DAN-
GEROUS OVERFIRING CAN OCCUR WHICH CAN
DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE OR IGNITE CREO-
SOTE IN THE CHIMNEY, POSSIBLY CAUSING A
HOUSE FIRE.
