A letter from our Technical Support department: Thank you for purchasing this fine product from England’s Stove Works! England's Stove Works was started, and is still owned by, a family that believes strongly in a "Do It Yourself" spirit – that’s one reason you found this product at your favorite “Do It Yourself” store.
CAUTION We highly recommend installation of this fireplace insert by a professional installer. The “Direct Connect” method of installation must be used (see Installation section of manual). If you have any doubt concerning your ability to complete your installation in a professional-like manner after reading these instructions, you should obtain the services of an installer who is versed in all aspects as to the correct and safe installation. Do not use temporary, makeshift compromises during installation.
SAFETY NOTICE: IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS FOR RESTRICTIONS AND INSPECTIONS IN YOUR AREA. SECTION I: FLUE SYSTEM This stove is designed to install into a masonry fireplace. The minimum opening is 28” wide x 24” high x 16” deep and you must have at least fourteen inches (14”) of hearth extending from the fireplace face.
*IMPROPER INSTALLATION: The manufacturer will not be held responsible for damage caused by the malfunction of a stove due to improper installation. Do not use makeshift methods or material which may compromise the installation. England’s will not be liable for consequential or indirect damages to property or persons resulting from the use of this product. Call (800-245-6489) and/or consult a professional installer if you have any questions.
Attempts to achieve higher output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result in permanent damage to the heater. The recommended wood load is level with the top of the firebricks. Overloading may prevent sufficient air entering the heater to properly fuel the fire. Do not tamper with the combustion air control beyond the normal adjustment capacity. Operate this heater only with the door closed. ALWAYS PROVIDE A SOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM WHERE THE UNIT IS INSTALLED.
SECTION V: FLOOR PROTECTION Hearth Extension The firebox on your insert will extend out eight inches (8”) from the face of the fireplace, so you will need at least sixteen inches (16”) in front of the door. If you do not have this, it will require you to place an approved floor protector in front of the stove (such as a hearth extender shield).

Illustration 3 BACKPLATE INFORMATION: Your backplate is a three (3) section plate that needs to be assembled before installation on your insert unit. A roll of insulation is also included, which needs to be installed around the outside perimeter of the plate (even with the “bend line”), and at the two connection joints to insure a proper seal between the plate and the hearth.
SECTION VI: NOTES ON PLACEMENT The first challenge you may encounter is getting your stove into your home -- all of our stove products are well constructed, which makes them rather heavy. Three to four adults can normally handle a unit, but we still recommend using a handcart. Never attempt to handle a heating product alone!!! The door and brick can be temporarily removed to lighten the unit (refer to Brick Layout).
6. This unit is designed to function most effectively when air is allowed to circulate to all areas of the firebox. A good way of achieving this is to rake a small (1” to 2” wide) “trough” in the center of the coal bed, from front to back, prior to loading the fuel. 7. Once fuel has been loaded, close the door and fully open the air inlet control, until the fire is well established (approximately 20 minutes), being careful not to over-fire. 8. Readjust the air inlet control to the desired burn rate.
3. Do not clean the glass with materials which may scratch (or otherwise damage) the glass. While surface scratches are acceptable, deeper scratches on the glass can develop into cracks or breaks. 4. Never attempt to clean the glass while the unit is hot. If the deposit is not very heavy, normal glass cleaners are adequate with a plain, non-abrasive scouring pad. Heavier deposits may be removed with the use of an oven cleaner. 5.
Placement of Stainless Steel Burner Tubes for all 13-NC, 50-SNC13 and 50-TNC13 (freestanding and insert) stove models.
SECTION XI: FIBER BOARD: CARE & MAINTENANCE THIS WOOD HEATER UTILIZES NEW TECHNOLOGY, WHICH INCLUDES A CERAMIC FIBER BOARD THAT IS LOCATED IN THE FIREBOX, AND RESTS ON TOP OF THREE (3) STAINLESS STEEL TUBES. DO NOT REMOVE THIS CERAMIC FIBER BOARD!!! IT IS A NECESSARY COMPONENT OF THE FIREBOX. ALSO PLEASE NOTE: THE CERAMIC FIBER BOARD MAY BECOME LOOSE DURING INITIAL SHIPPING.
WAYS TO PREVENT AND KEEP UNIT FREE OF CREOSOTE 1. Burn with the air control fully open for several minutes at numerous intervals throughout each day during the heating season, being careful not to over-fire the unit. This should remove the slight film of creosote that accumulates during low burn periods. 2. Burn the stove with the draft control fully open for approximately 20-30 minutes every time you apply fresh wood.
Once the kindling has begun to burn, start adding some small pieces of seasoned, dry firewood. NOTE: Adding large pieces at the early stages will only serve to smother the fire. Continue adding small pieces of seasoned, dry firewood, keeping the door slightly open until each piece starts to ignite. Remember to always open the door slowly when placing wood into the fire. Once the wood has started to ignite and the smoke has reduced, close the stove door fully.
9. What can cause a poor draft? There are several common factors that can contribute to poor draft: A. Atmospheric Pressure and Air Supply Atmospheric pressure affecting the draft from a chimney can be outside the home, inside the home, or both. Outside the home, a high-pressure (clear and cool) day generally creates a better draft in the chimney than a low-pressure (overcast and damp) day.

WOOD - Meets the 2015 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s crib wood PLEASE NOTE: emission limits for wood heaters sold after May 15, 2015 EPA INFORMATION The following additions to your owner’s manual will enable you to achieve optimal emissions performance from your stove. Important safety tips are also included. ‐ Proper Installation – Please refer to the Installation section of your owner’s manual and follow the guidelines listed therein for safety and for optimal emissions performance.
• INSTALL three sheet metal screws at every chimney connector joint. • AVOID excessive horizontal runs and elbows, as both will reduce the draft of the venting system and will result in poor stove performance. • INSPECT your venting system often, to be certain it is clear of creosote, fly‐ash and other restrictions. • CLEAN the venting system as detailed in the maintenance section of this manual. • ADHERE to the 10‐3‐2 rule regarding chimney terminations.
Moisture Meter Information Firewood is ready at 10‐25% moisture content. Newly‐cut logs can have a moisture content (MC) of 80% or more, depending on species. Since wood shrinks, and can also split, twist or otherwise change shape as it dries, most wood is dried before being used. Air drying, or ‘seasoning,’ is the most common method used for cord wood. In most parts of the United States, the minimum moisture content that can be generally obtained in air drying is about 12 to 15 percent.
‐ WHAT FUELS NOT TO USE: 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 IN USE. ADDITIONALLY, NEVER APPLY FIRE‐STARTER TO ANY HOT SURFACE OR EMBERS IN THE STOVE. DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. DO NOT BURN FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
Remember: “This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper operation. It is against federal regulations to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.” More: Burner Tubes – To replace a tube, first be sure that you order the correct tube you need to replace. Then using a 5/16” socket or open end wrench, remove the screw located on the left side of the tube. Be sure to keep the screw.
