17 OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR Your DROLET stove is approved to be insta lled with an outside air intake which is necessary for a mobile home. This type of installation is also required in air tight houses and houses with negative pressure problems. Y ou can purchase this option through your DROLET dealer.
18 WOODSTOVE UTILISATION Your heating unit was designed to burn wood onl y; no other materials should be burnt. Wastes and other flammable mate rials should not be burnt in your wood stove. Any type of wood may be used in your stove, but specif ic varieties have better energy yields than others.
19 Smaller pieces of wood will dry fa ster. All logs exceeding 6" in diameter should be split. The wood should not be stored directly on the ground. Air should circulate through the cord. A 24" to 48" air space should be le ft between each row of logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location possible.
20 HEATING Controlled combustion is the most efficient technique for wood heating because it enables you to select the type of com bustion you want for each given situation. The wood will burn slowly if the wood stove air intake control is adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber to a minimum.
21 RELOADING Once you have obtained a good bed of embers, y ou should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air controls to maximum a few seconds prior to opening the stove's door.
