Insert the end of the clevis pin assembly into the hole in the end of the handle 4. Close the door and see how the door closes. If it is too tight, turn the handle clockwise to loosen it.
Chalet 1800 15 BRICK INSTALLATION The firebox of your Archgard stove is lined with high quality firebrick, which has exceptional insulating properties. There is no need to use a grate; simply build the fire on the firebox floor of your stove. Do not operate this stove without the firebrick. The Firebrick is also intended to extend the life of your stove and radiate heat more evenly. Install the bricks as in the photos and then cap them with the supplied channel capping material.
Chalet 1800 16 AIR TUBE INSTALLATION The Air Tubes in the Archgard Chalet 1800 come already assembled with the baffle plates installed. If for some reason they need to be installed, the following guidelines must be adhered to. 1) Open the Archgard Freestanding Chalet 1800 door. 2) Slide the tube into the right hand side hole, as far as possible and then bring it back into the hole on the left hand side lining up the “relief or notch” cut into the tube on that side until it locks into position.
Chalet 1800 17 LISTED COMPONENTS FOR MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR ADAPTOR The adaptor is required if the Chalet 1800 is to be installed into a Mobile Home. Mobile home installation requires the use of outside air. When outside air is to be used, the Mobile Home Combustion Air adapter must be installed through the rear of the stove base.
Chalet 1800 BLOWER / FAN INSTALLATION The Chalet 1800 is certified for operation with or without the optional fan and may be installed at any time by attachment at the back of the stove and plugging in the 3-prong power cord. 18 PART # FK-1800 FS Electrical Rating = 115V AC / 1.0 amps Fan Output Rating = 150 c.f.m. 1. Remove the fan assembly from the box and inspect for any damage to the assembly.
Chalet 1800 19 RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION CAUTION: At no time can unlabelled parts, or substitute parts made for another chimney system be used. Install as per chimney manufacturer's installation instructions. 1. Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new Chalet 1800 woodstove. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Be aware that local Codes and Regulations may override some items in this manual.
Chalet 1800 20 RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION (cont’d) 11) In seismically active areas, Archgard recommends that your unit be secured to the floor by using ¼” lag bolts in the bolt down holes on the pedestal or legs (the same ones used for Mobile Home installations). 12) For residential installations using 6" "C" Vent (single wall), the chimney connector must be at least 24 gauge steel. Do not use galvanized pipe. For Mobile Home installation, use only listed air insulated double wall connector.
Chalet 1800 21 MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION Once you have properly marked the position of your unit and the floor protection as outlined in the Residential Installation, secure it to the floor using two lag bolts ⅜" x 3½" through the two holes in the pedestal base or through the legs. A supply of fresh air has to be supplied to your unit. Cut a minimum 3inch diameter hole through the wall using an elbow off the combustion air duct to the outside.
Chalet 1800 22 CHASE ENCLOSURE If the chimney runs up the outside of the house, for best performance, it should be enclosed in a chase. It is best to locate the chase away from any overhead obstructions. For best results, the chase should be constructed in such a way that it is part of building envelope. It should be well insulated between the footings and the floor of the home to prevent heat loss. Insulate the chase in order to keep the chimney (flue gases) warmer.
Chalet 1800 23 MASONRY CHIMNEY (cont’d) System B: 9" (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a 6" (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-built Solid-Pak chimney section with insulation of 1" (25.4 mm) or more, build a wall pass-through with a minimum 9" (228.6 mm) air space between the outer wall of the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet metal supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to maintain the 9" (228.6 mm) air space.
Chalet 1800 24 RECOMMENDED MINIMUM CHIMNEY HEIGHTS The chimney must be at least 3 ft. (.9m) higher than the highest point where it passes through the roof and at least 2 ft. (.6m) higher than the highest part of the roof or structure within 10 ft. (3m) of the chimney, measured horizontally. These are code requirements and cannot guarantee a suitable draft. We recommend using a minimum total system height of 12 ft. (3.
Chalet 1800 25 VENT SPECIFICATIONS Your Archgard Chalet 1800 was designed for and tested on a 6” (152mm) chimney, 15’ (4.57m) high, (includes stove height) measured from the base of the stove. The further your stack height or diameter varies from this configuration, the greater the possibility of performance problems. In addition, exterior conditions such as roof line, surrounding trees, prevailing winds and nearby hills can influence stove performance.
Chalet 1800 26 5. Before opening your door to reload, open draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds until fire has been reestablished. This will minimize any smoking. All fuel burning appliances consume oxygen during operation. It is important that you supply a source of fresh air to your unit while burning. Ignore the fire until you notice the room, space or house cooling off. A new load cools the firebox, so it needs to be heated up again. Then add the right amount of wood to suit the conditions.
Chalet 1800 27 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Glass is Dirty CAUSE CURE 1. Wood is wet Use dry wood 2. Turning down air control or damper too soon Do not turn down until: ❖ there is a good bed of coals ❖ the wood is charred 3. Draft too low – Improper ❖ Chimney plugged or restricted, chimney height and / or dicheck flue ameter ❖ Provide outside air for combusFlue pipe too long, too many tion offsets or too large a diameter 4. Door gasket leakage Replace gasket ❖ Check latch ❖ 5.
Chalet 1800 28 CREOSOTE AND CHIMNEY FIRES When wood burns slowly - as it often does in a conventional, air-tight stove or furnace - it makes a smoky fire and produces more creosote deposits than a quick, hot fire does. Creosote is a highly flammable material. If it ignites near the base of the chimney, it can produce a raging fire that travels up the chimney, creating extremely high temperatures as it spreads.
Chalet 1800 29 IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE 1. 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. 2. Close the air inlet on the stove. 3. Call local fire department. Have a fire extinguisher handy. Contact your local municipal or 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. 4.
Chalet 1800 30 WOOD (cont’d) The size of the firewood pieces affects the rate of combustion. Large pieces ignite and release their energy slower than small pieces. Smaller, more finely split pieces are better for short, hot fires, while larger pieces suit extended firing cycles. The largest piece of wood for your Chalet 1800 should be no more than about 15 cm (6 in.) across and 18” long. Another factor that affects how firewood burns is the wood's condition.
Chalet 1800 31 DOOR GASKET To test the effectiveness / tightness of your gasket, insert a piece of paper between the door and stove body. You shouldn’t be able to pull the paper out of the door If the door gasket requires replacement a ⅞" diameter rope gasket must be used. A proper high temperature gasket adhesive is required. See your Archgard Dealer. NOTE: An improperly adjusted door seal can have a significant effect of the performance and durability of the fireplace.
Chalet 1800 32 GLASS MAINTENANCE (cont’d) WARNING: Never clean this glass with an abrasive cleaner. Use only a cleaner recommended as a wood stove glass cleaner. Never clean the glass while it is hot; a serious burn can result. NOTE: 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 adhering to its surface.
Chalet 1800 33 ASH DISPOSAL CAUTION: Ashes can start fires, even after several days of inactivity. Never dispose of ashes in a combustible container. Remove ashes only when stove and ashes are cold. During constant use, ashes should be removed every few days. The Ash Drawer features a convenient ash dump for easy removal of ash. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
