SPECIAL NOTE:
Crazing of Porcelain Enamel:
Porcelain enamel, when heated to high temperature, is subject to crazing. Crazing is
a normal occurrence when enamel is exposed to high temperatures. Your enamel
finish will not be harmed nor will the function of the stove be impaired.
SPECIAL NOTE:
A barometric damper is recommended for installations of stoves in areas that may
have high winds, which can affect the draft. The installation must be only in units
with a newly constructed chimney, free of creosote deposits. The barometric damper
is an automatic device designed to regulate the draft in a heating appliance, which in
turn, stabilizes the chimney temperatures, lessening the potential of over-firing. Do
not place the barometric damper greater than 24 inches (610 mm) above the unit.
Excessive draft will lead to poor control of the burning rate and possible over-firing of
the stove and damage to the cast iron firebox. Most barometric dampers are
calibrated in inches of water column and can be set to draft requirements of -.03 to -
.08 inches (-7.5 to -20 Pa). It is recommended that the barometric dampers to be set
between -.05 and -.06 inches.
THE RECOMMENDED DRAFT REQUIREMENTS FOR EFEL STOVES IS NO LESS
THAN -.04 AND NO GREATER THAN -.08.
OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE WITH A DRAFT GREATER THAN -.08 CAN
POSSIBLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE STOVE AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
