Safety and Maintenance
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile liquid to start a fire. Do not burn garbage, or flammable fluids such as gasoline, naptha, or engine oil.
WARNING: ONLY USE MATERIALS SUPPLIED BY MANUFACTURER WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE OR REPLACEMENTS.
1. Burn only dry and well seasoned cord wood. The denser or heavier the wood when dry, the greater its heat value. This is why hardwoods are generally preferred. Green or wet wood will cause a rapid buildup of creosote. If you feel it is necessary to burn wet or unseasoned wood, do so only with the air inlet set open enough to maintain a good strong fire and fairly high chimney temperatures. Do not attempt to burn overnight using green wood or wet wood. Wet wood can cause up to 25% drop in heater output, as well as contributing significantly to creosote buildup.
2. Remove ashes frequently. Embers can roll out the door and create a fire hazard. Maintain a 1"(25mm) minimum ash base.
3. If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or poor wood, it can readily be cleaned with fireplace glass cleaner when stove is cold. Never scrape with an object that might scratch the glass. The type and amount of deposit on the glass is a good indication of the flue pipe and chimney buildup. A light brown dusty deposit that is easily wiped off usually indicates good combustion and dry, well-seasoned wood and therefore relatively clean pipes and chimney. On the other hand, a black greasy deposit that is difficult to remove is a result of wet and green wood and too slow a burning rate. This heavy deposit is building up at least as quickly in the chimney.
4. DOOR GASKETS - The gasket used for the True North (5/8"(16mm) medium density fiberglass rope) requires only light pressure to seal. This will prolong seal life. It is important that the door seal be maintained in good condition. P eriodically inspect seals and replace if necessary. Follow instructions included in the TN19.DGKIT kit obtainable from your nearest True North dealer.
5. DOOR GLASS - Do not slam loading door or otherwise impact glass. When closing door, make sure that no logs protrude to impact the glass. If the glass gets cracked or broken, it must be replaced before using the stove. Replacement glass can be obtained from your dealer. Use 9-1/4"(235mm) x 13-1/4"(337mm) x 5 mm. Ceramic glass only. Do not substitute with any other type.
· -To remove broken glass, undo the four retaining screws and remove clamps, noting position for re-assembly. Remove all particles of glass. Be careful as they are very sharp. Install new glass complete with gasket. Replace clamps and screws.
CAUTION:
- do not overtighten, tighten screws very carefully - do not clean glass when hot - do not use abrasive cleaners on glass
6. The area where boost combustion air enters the firebox must be kept clear of excessive ash buildup which will block air flow. This area is at the front of the firebox.
7. Do not store wood within heater installation clearances, or within the space required for fuel loading and ash removal. Keep the area around the heater clean and free of loose combustibles, furniture, newspapers, etc.
100000425
4
TN10 NA 080523-28
8. Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burning and Lighting techniques. Check daily for creosote buildup in the firebox, until you are experienced and are operating the stove cleanly and safely.
9. Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less creosote is deposited. More frequent chimney cleaning may be necessary in mild weather or when burning "wet" or unseasoned wood.
10. Instruct all members of your family on the safe operation of the heater. Ensure they have enough knowledge of the entire system if they are expected to operate it. Stress the section on chimney fires and the importance of following the steps outlined "In Case of Chimney Fire".
Maintenance Checks
Check the following parts for damage such as cracks, excessive corrosion, burned out sections and excessive warping:
Weekly:
· Firebrick - Visual, for cracking. · Door Gasket - sagging, placement, damage.
Monthly
· Brick rail tabs and brick rails. · Back side of air wash chamber. · Boost tube cover. · Top baffle board. · Baffle Tubes.
As Needed
· It is recommended that the chimney be inspected a minimum of every 2 months and cleaned as needed a minimum of 2 times a year.
When Cleaning the Chimney System:
· Top heat shield and mounting bolt. · Brick Rails. · Manifold.
- Replace the baffle tubes if they show signs of cracking or breakage.
- Please contact your Dealer for replacement parts, if you experience any of the damage listed above. Continuing to operate your stove with broken parts may accelerate damage to other parts and will void your warranty
Blower:
· The blower should be cleaned out a minimum every six months by using a vacuum on the grill openings in the back and bottom of the blower casing to remove any dust and debris.

100000425
Reducing Visible Emissions and Creosote
When wood is burned too slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected periodically (at least once every two months) during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated (3 mm. or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
1. Highest smoke densities and visible emissions occur when a large amount of wood is added to a bed of hot coals and the air inlet is closed. The heated wood generates smoke, but without ample air, the smoke cannot burn. Smoke-free, clean burning requires small fuel loads, two or three logs at a time or 1/4 to 1/2 of fuel load and leaving the air inlet relatively wide open, especially during the first 10 to 30 minutes after each loading, when most of the smoke generating reactions are occurring. After 30 minutes or so, the air inlet can be turned down substantially without excessive smoke generation. Wood coals create very little creosote-producing smoke.
2. The cooler the surface over which the wood smoke is passing, the more creosote will be condensed. Wet or green wood contributes significantly to c reosote formation as the excess moisture that is boiled off cools the fire, making it difficult for the tars and gases to ignite, thus creating dense smoke and poor combustion. This moisture-laden smoke cools the chimney, compounding the problem by offering the smoke the ideal place to condense.
In summary, a certain amount of creosote is inevitable. Regular inspection and cleaning is the solution. The use of dry, seasoned wood and ample combustion air will help to minimize annoying smoke emissions and creosote buildup.
Chimney Fires
The dangerous side effect of excessive creosote buildup is a chimney fire. This causes much higher than normal temperatures in the chimney and on its exterior surfaces. Temperatures inside the chimney can exceed 2000°F (1100°C). Ignition of nearby or touching combustible material is more likely during a chimney fire. Proper clearances are critical to prevent damage during such a fire.
Chimney fires are easy to detect; they usually involve one or more of the following:
·
Flames and sparks shooting out of the top of the chimney
·
A roaring sound
·
Vibration of the chimney

TN10 NA 080523-28
To Avoid a Chimney Fire
1. Burn wood cleanly. Do not burn wet wood or turn down the unit too quickly after loading.
2. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a chimney fire is possible.
3. Do not have fires in the heater that may ignite chimney fires. These are excessively hot fires, such as when burning household trash, cardboard, Christmas tree limbs, or even ordinary fuel wood; (eg. with a full load on a hot bed of coals and with the air inlet wide open for more time than is needed to completely char a fresh fuel load.)
4. The Chimney and connector pipe should be inspected /cleaned periodically.
In the event of a Chimney Fire
Have a fire extinguisher handy. Contact your local municipal or state/provincial fire authority for further information on how to handle a chimney fire. It is most important that you have a clearly understood plan on how to handle a chimney fire.
1. Close down the air inlet on the stove.
2. Call the local fire department.
3. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone's safety. Have a well understood plan of action for evacuation. Have a place outside where everyone is to meet.
4. After the chimney fire is out, the chimney must be cleaned and checked for stress and cracks before starting another fire. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof. The services of a competent or certified installer, (certified by the Wood Energy Technical Training program (WETT) - in Canada, National Fireplace Institute (NFI) - in U.S.A., are strongly recommended.

Operation
CAUTION: Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when burning. This heater is not designed for open door burning.
WARNING: No alteration or modification of the combustion air control assembly is permitted. Any tampering will void warranty and could be very hazardous.
WARNING: Do not use grates or andirons to elevate the fuel. Burn directly on the fire bricks. Replace broken or missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous condition.
WARNING: 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 in use.
Your True North heater is designed for maximum overall efficiency at a moderate firing rate. Overfiring is hazardous, a waste of fuel and will damage your stove. Too slow a burn may contribute to c reosote buildup and lowers combustion efficiency.
Wood Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months or more. Wet or undried wood will cause the fire to smoulder and produce large amounts of creosote. Wet wood also produces very little heat and tends to go out often.
DO NOT BURN:
· Salt water wood *
· Treated wood
· Wet or green wood
· Coal/charcoal
· Garbage*
· Solvents
· Lawn clippings/yard waste
· Unseasoned wood
· Railroad ties
· Manure or animal remains
· Materials containing rubber, including tires
· Materials containing plastic
· Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thin- · Materials containing asbestos ners, or asphalt products
· Construction or demolition debris
· Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
* These materials contain chlorides which will rapidly destroy metal surfaces and void warranty.
Burning these materials may result in the release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire in an affected wood heater.
100000425

TN10 NA 080523-28
Do not burn anything but cord wood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal, can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a tasteless, odorless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should you attempt to barbecue in this heater.
How to Test Your Wood
Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good large bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more than one side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses and blackens without igniting in five minutes it is soaked and should not be burned.
Lighting a Fire Remove the retaining clip on the front of the baffle before lighting for the first time.
1. Move air control lever to the left-most position (maximum firing rate) and open door.
2. Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater and crisscross with several pieces of dry kindling. Add a few small pieces of dry wood on top.
3. Ignite the paper and leave the door ajar approximately 1/2"(13mm) - 1"(25mm) until the wood kindling is fully engulfed in flame.
4. After the kindling is fully engulfed add a few small logs. Close door.
5. Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists and wood has charred.
Normal Operation
WARNING: This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with the operating instructions in this manual.
1. Set air control to a desired setting. If smoke pours down across the glass (waterfall effect) this indicates you have shut the control down too soon or you are using too low a setting. The wide range control panel makes finding the desired setting for your application easy. As every home's heating needs vary (ie. insulation, windows, climate, etc.) the proper setting can only be found by trial and error and should be noted for future burns.
2. To refuel, adjust air control to high, and give the fire time to brighten. Open the door slowly, this will prevent back puffing.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up to 14" (355mm)). Load your wood and try to place the logs so that the air can flow between them. Always use dry wood.
4. Do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that would be hazardous when opening the door.
5. For extended or overnight burns, unsplit logs are preferred. Remember to char the wood completely on maximum setting before adjusting air control for overnight burn.
TN10 NA 080523-28
9
100000425
Restarting After Extended or Overnight Burns
1. Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the heater. Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of embers, close door.
2. Adjust air control to high (control lever to the left) and in just a few minutes, logs should begin burning.
3. After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4. To achieve maximum firing rate, set air control lever to the left-most position. Do not use this setting other than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result in permanent damage to the heater and chimney.
Proper Draft
1. Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
2. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An uncontrollable burn or a glowing red stove part or chimney indicates excessive draft.
3. Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints indicates inadequate draft.
Curing of the Paint Finish
To achieve the best finish, the paint on your stove must be baked on with small fires. When burning your stove for the first 2-3 times it is very important that the room be well ventilated. Open all windows and doors. Smoke and fumes caused by the curing process may cause discomfort to some individuals.
Ash Removal
Caution: Ashes are to be removed only when the heater is cold. Whenever ashes get 3"(76mm) to 4"(102mm) deep in your firebox, and when fire has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1" (25 mm) deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed outside on a non-combustible 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 closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed in this container.
Heat Output
Experience will give you the right settings for proper combustion and efficient burning. Remember that the correct air inlet setting is affected by variables such as type of wood, outside temperature, chimney size and weather conditions. With practice, you will become proficient in operating your heater and will obtain the performance for which it was designed.

· Secured at every joint and collar with 3 sheet metal screws.
· Installed with the crimped or male ends pointing down. This will carry any liquid creosote or condensation back into the stove.
· The Smoke pipe/chimney connector shall not pass through an attic, roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor, or ceiling. Where passage through a wall, or partition of combustible material is desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, INSTALLATION CODE FOR SOLID-FUELBURNING APPLIANCES AND EQUIPMENT or NFPA 211 STANDARD FOR CHIMNEYS, FIREPLACES AND SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES
Procedure
1. Position stove and floor protection (with hole for combustion air if required) in accordance with the clearances as stated on the label and in Figure 2., and Figure 3 or Figure 4.
2. Mark the position for the hole in the ceiling and roof by using a string and plumb-bob.
3. Check that the intended location will not interfere with floor joists, ceiling joists or rafters before proceeding further.
4. As per the chimney manufacturer's instructions; · Cut a hole in the ceiling and roof to suit the chimney system and frame in the sides. The chimney support is mounted to the framing. If a roof or ceiling support is used in the installation, you will find the chimney manufacturer's complete instructions packed with the roof support. · Assemble the chimney sections so the finished length is resting on the support and protruding through the roof. Install the radiation shield. Avoid having chimney joints between ceiling and roof. · Assemble flashing and storm collar and be sure to secure the flashing and seal with the appropriate sealant. Attach rain cap and check flashing for leaks.
5. If double-wall connector pipe is to be connected between the stove and the listed insulated chimney, install all components to the pipe manufacturer's installation requirements.
6. If smoke pipe is being used to connect between the stove and the listed insulated chimney, · Install the smoke pipe (chimney connector), crimped edge of the pipe down and inside the stove collar. Use holes provided in collar to secure pipe with three screws. · Install the remaining lengths of pipe, one on top of the other to the finished height of the listed insulated chimney adapter and secure to each other. A slip-section will make attaching the smoke pipe to the chimney system adapter easier.

Connecting to a masonry chimney
Ensure that the chimney is in good condition and meets local building codes. Your stove may work better if the chimney is fully lined with a stainless steel liner, this is because the liner will retain heat and promote draft. The chimney flue or liner should be the same size as the stove outlet for optimal performance. Reducing or increasing the flue size may adversely affect stove performance. Chimney flue exit is to be 3 feet (1 m.) above the roof and two feet (0.6 m.) above highest projection within 10 feet (3 m.). The installation must meet all local codes. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance. Minimum system height is 12 feet (3.0 m.) (measured from top of appliance).
Ensure that the Masonry chimney meets all National Fire Protection Association and local building codes. Have the chimney cleaned and inspected by a professional to ensure there are no cracks, weak mortar or other signs of deterioration.

100000425
Combustion Air
Combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of two ways. Consult your local building code or CAN/ CSA-B365, or NFPA 211
1. Direct outside air supply - (Necessary for mobile home installation, optional for residential installation.)
· To draw outside air through the floor; Attach the outside air adapter to the underside of the stove. Mark then cut or drill a 3"(76mm) diameter or larger hole in the floor under the adapter. This hole must get its air from a ventilated crawl space or be extended with duct to the outdoors (Figure 6 on page 15. or Figure 7 on page 16
**If you are getting the intake air from a well ventilated crawl space, Connect the adapter to 3"(76mm) flexible or rigid metal venting passing thru the hole using into the ventilated space. Cover the inlet of the pipe with a 20GA wire mesh minimum rodent screen, and clamp in place.
**If you are extending the pipe thru to the outside, Install an approved 3"(76mm) inlet vent cap into the closest outside wall. Connect the stove's adapter to the Inlet vent through the hole using 3"(76mm) flexible and/or rigid metal venting.
· To draw air from behind the stove. Cut or drill a corresponding hole in the closest exterior wall. Install an approved 3"(76mm) inlet vent cap. Attach the outside air adapter to the underside of the stove. Connect the adapter to the inlet vent cap using 3"(76mm) flexible and/or rigid metal venting. Provide water protection as required.
2. Room air supply - Remove the knockout or cover plate from the bottom of the Air box enclosure. The stove will now draw its air from the room through this opening and into the firebox intake
Note:
The use of outside c ombustion air for installation requires the unit to be secured to the structure to prevent dislodging of the air duct ("Securing Bracket Installation:" on page 13).
The living space around the heater must be well ventilated with good air circulation. Anything that may cause a negative pressure can cause gases or fumes to be pulled into the living area. During extremely cold weather, and especially when burning at very slow rates, the upper parts of the exposed chimney may ice up, partially blocking the flue gases. If blockage occurs, flue gases may enter living space.
This unit is not designed to be operated with the firing door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of sparks landing on combustibles, an open fire door will cause the heater to draw air from the living space and possibly cause suffocation in an air tight home.
