Safety

Before You Operate This StoveBefore you operate this stove, please read carefully the information and guidelines in this manual to avoid risk or hazard.

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)When installing and/or operating this solid fuel burning appliance, it is recommended to conform to NFPA #211 (Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances). To contact the NFPA directly:

NFPA1 Batterymarch Park PO Box 9101Quincy, MA 02269-9101 USA

In accordance with NFPA #211, here are some general wall and floor clearances and other wood stove installation specifications:

Wall ClearancesNFPA #211 recommends that freestanding woodburners have a minimum 36-inch clearance to combustible materials on all sides. The high temperatures produced by the Zaug can actually decrease the temperature at which the wall coverings (for example wood paneling) will ignite. Walls can be protected by noncombustible wall protectors or shields to reduce clearances. Prefabricated wall protectors are available and should be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions and "listed" by a recognized testing lab.Sheet metal, brick veneer, drywall, aluminum foil, etc., placed directly on a wall is not considered an approved wall shield. Heat will still penetrate through the material and could start a fire in your home.

Floor ClearancesFloors with wood, carpet, linoleum, and other combustible coverings must have a floor protector underneath, in front of, to the sides, and to the rear of the Zaug. Prefabricated floor protectors are also available. The floor protection should provide a sturdy base and extend at least 18 inches on all sides of the heater.

Stovepipe ClearancesStovepipe is used to connect the stove to a chimney. Clearances between the stovepipe and combustible materials are equally important as those given for the unit. Unprotected walls and ceilings need at least 18 inches of clearance from the stovepipe. Stovepipe sections should be securely fastened together by screws and have the crimped ends pointing back to the unit.

Smoke Detectors/Carbon Monoxide DetectorsThese detectors are desirable for any home, but are especially important if you have a rocket mass heater. Place detectors throughout the house as the manufacturer recommends. Make sure the unit is UL "listed" or Factory Mutual (FM) approved and is tested monthly.

Fire ExtinguishersIn addition, place a multipurpose fire extinguisher in the same room as the heater. The fire extinguisher should be UL "listed" or FM "approved" and have at least a minimum rating of 2A-10B:C. Check the extinguisher monthly.

This stove is designed for burning wood only. Do not burn other fuels.

Installation Guidelines

Initial InspectionThe Zaug is shipped 100% fully assembled. Remove the stove from the crate and place it where you would like it following NFPA #211 standards. Check for loose parts in the stove. Check that the grill plate and ash pit drawer are firmly in position and have not shifted in transit. Check that the glass lid works and is undamaged. Check the cylinder position. If it isn’t sitting quite right on the pedestal base plate, simply remove the cooktop and tap the top edge of cylinder in to place using a rubber mallet.

Set UpThe stove is supplied from the factory with a flue collar fitted to the rear or side of the cylinder at 11 inches off the ground. Attach this exhaust port to a standard US 6” exhaust line that terminates out doors. If you are unfamiliar with standard duct work, we suggest calling an HVAC professional in your area. The internal dimensions of the horizontal exhaust (if applicable) and chimney must not be less than 6 inches diameter (or equivalent cross section), and should not be significantly larger than this. Too large a section will tend to allow the flue gases to cool excessively, causing sluggishness or unpredictability in the stove’s performance.

Indoor Home UseFollow conventional wood stove guidelines found in NFPA #211 (Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances). Burnable surfaces must be no closer than 36” (91.44cm) to the stove. Install the stove on masonry or concrete board.Single-wall connectors should be made of 24 gauge or heavier gauge steel. Do not use galvanized connector; it cannot withstand the high-temperatures that smoke and exhaust gases can reach, and may release toxic fumes under high heat.It is important to keep the flue gases moving smoothly in the right direction. Use mild bends (e.g. 45o vs. 90o) rather than sharp angles where a change of direction is required. All parts of the venting must be accessible for cleaning purposes.In horizontal runs of exhaust, maintain a distance of 18 inches from the floor or ceiling. Keep it as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90 degree turns. Slope horizontal runs of connector upward 1/4 inch per foot (0 mm per meter) going from the stove toward the chimney. Never install the exhaust with a slope downwards away from the stove. The recommended maximum length of a horizontal run is less than 25 feet (7.6 meters).

Fresh Air Inlet Unless there is deemed to be sufficient ambient leakage of air into the room via doorways, windows, etc., a dedicated fresh air inlet will be needed. This inlet should have 2 square inches (1250 square mm) of free air space. This is particularly important where the room is well sealed, or where an extractor hood or ventilation system disturbs the natural air pressure. Such an inlet should not be on a wall that is usually subject to negative pressure from normal wind pattern. Avoid placing the inlet directly across the room from the stove, thus causing a cold air draft.

Greenhouse UseFor greenhouses, follow conventional wood stove guidelines found in NFPA #211 but extra caution is advised to keep the stove heat from melting the greenhouse plastic. It is advised that concrete board be installed immediately around the stove to protect the plastic from melting,.

Priming RunsPriming runs can be installed somewhere close to the exhaust port of the stove. Priming runs are usually a short horizontal exhaust run that immediately turns up, to exit the structure. It is used as a secondary exhaust to get the stove up to operating temperature as quickly as possible before sending heat through the long thermal mass exhaust. For example, when a long thermal mass duct or an uninsulated outdoor exhaust vent gets cold, or hasn’t been fired up for a season, it takes a large amount of initial heat to push through the cold air. A secondary priming run will allow the stove to

Zaug Stoves Installation and Operation Manual, Page 5

Page 6: Owners Manual in PDF

heat up before sending the air through the main exhaust run, thus ensuring the force of the heat is enough to push through the cold. This ensures good operation and eliminates blowback. Blowback can be caused by the stove airflow being blocked by cold air in the exhaust run, or by the fire being very small and the run being cold.

Exhaust LinesThe exhaust line must be kept as warm as possible. It must either, be protected from the elements or insulated with non-combustible insulation. The only thing pushing the exhaust up through the duct is the difference in temperature. Make sure to have a wind guard on your termination point. Wind can have a dramatic effect on the operation of the stove.Seal every connection to an air-tight fit by using heat resistant silicone caulk and fasten together with screws. Heat resistant duct tape is also recommended.

CondensationYou may experience condensation in the exhaust line from time to time. When installing the exhaust line, make sure the horizontal line has a minimum 1% slope away from the stove. This will allow the condensation to run back in to the stove where it will heat up and exit the exhaust line as steam.

Thermal MassCapturing HeatThe most beneficial way to use a Zaug stove, is to add a thermal mass around the stove exhaust to capture and store heat from the exhaust. The easiest way to do this is to make a bench or hearth, out of cob or clay, but brick or masonry can be used as well. Shown here, we have built a cob bench on wheels for display purposes. In your home, the bench would likely run along a wall and be permanently attached to the stove.Optimal length for a thermal mass from a Zaug stove is 25’ (7.62m). This ensures that there will be no blow back, and that length will slow down the flow of air within the unit so that the Zaug doesn’t burn so much wood. For more information on how to build a thermal mass, research Rocket Mass Heaters on the internet.

Operation

Choosing Your FuelAll types of natural wood can be burned in your stove, but they must be well-seasoned and dry. Well seasoned wood will be light to hold and will show signs of cracking from the center-out in the ends. If your wood spits or sizzles while burning, and your stove’s door glass persistently mists up, your wood is not properly seasoned. Never use drift wood (from the sea), whose salt content may cause corrosion, nor construction wood that may have been impregnated with chemicals.The Zaug Stove operates best with sticks and branches but can also handle 5” (13cm) rounds up to 24” (60cm) long. The fire eats a hopper of sticks and branches in about an

hour. A solid round will burn in about an hour and a half.

The First FireThe initial fire should be small, so that the stove paint can cure and the thermal mass (if applicable) can cure. Some fumes will be given off by the paint. Ventilate the room during this phase as described below.

For Use with Solid Wood Fuel Only.

Zaug Stoves Installation and Operation Manual, Page 6

Page 7: Owners Manual in PDF

Attention: Off-GassingThe Zaug stove has been freshly painted with a coat of Thurmalox heat resistant zinc primer, two coats of Thurmalox heat resistant paint, and a coat of Thurmalox High Temperature Clear. When the stove reaches operating temperature for the first time, these finishes will off-gas for about 15-20 minutes, as is typical for most wood stoves. Ventilate the room by opening doors and windows until the vapors around the stove have been cleared out. The stove will only off-gas one time, and only the first time you light it.

Lighting the StoveWhen first lighting the stove, a large volume of air is needed. When the stove (and mass) is cold, you should leave the door open for the first few minutes. While the door is open, do not leave the stove unattended.To form a reasonable bed of ash on the floor of the stove, you should use dry kindling at the initial lighting.

Step-By-Step Procedure1. Place fire starter, twisted paper, or other easily ignitable substance in the feed tube as far inside the stove as possible. We recommend Lightn’n Bugs Fire Starter Dots.2. Place small pieces of dry kindling on top.3. Light the fire. An ember bed will quickly be formed.4. Continue placing dry kindling in the stove until the fire grows.If the flame wants to come back up through the hopper, just give a quick blow directly into the unit, to direct the flame inwards. Once the flame reaches the burn chamber, it starts an automatic flow of air in to the system. 5. Keep adding dry, burnable wood to the hopper to grow the fire.6. When the exhaust and chimney is warmed enough after 5-10 minutes, the doors should be closed. A suitable ember bed will be formed after a further 15-20 minutes. 7. When ready to reload, spread the ember across the feed tube floor, bringing plenty towardsthe front of the stove. 8. Lay new pieces of wood onto the embers. Leave half an inch (1 cm) or more between each piece of wood for air flow. 9. Close the door. 10. Anticipate each refueling, remembering to add a modest layer of wood while there are still plenty of live embers.

Repeat steps 5-8.

BlowbackIf smoke or fumes come out of your stove when lightning up and reloading, or if the fire simply will not respond, a poor draft is almost certainly to blame. Check the exhaust line and stove for blockages.

Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire. Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids. Do not use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter or fluid or similar

liquids to start or freshen up a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids away from the heater while it is in use.

Caution: Hot while in operation. Keep children, pets, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.

Zaug Stoves Installation and Operation Manual, Page 7

Page 8: Owners Manual in PDF

Operating TemperatureOnce the hopper has cycled through a hopper of wood, the temperatures inside the unit will be approximately 1200°F (648.9°C). At this temperature the cooktop will be approximately 550°F (287.8°C). This is optimum operating temperature for the Zaug. We recommend purchasing a temperature gauge to set on the cooktop when the stove is in operation. This way you can maintain the optimum temperature being careful not to over fire the unit. You will quickly get the feel of your Zaug and it’s optimum temperature.

Warning:Steel starts to become unstable at temperatures close to 1500°F (815.55°C). To avoid over firing the unit and wearing the steel burn chamber prematurely, keep the cooktop temperature below 800°F (427°C). Over firing the unit repeatedly can disable the stove permanently.

How To Avoid Over FiringUse a temperature gauge placed on the center of the cooktop. When the temperature reaches 550°F (287.8°C) restrict the amount of wood placed in the feed tube. If the temperature falls, add more wood. By filling the hopper very quickly and repeatedly, along with using dense wood, it is possible for the cooktop to reach temperatures above 900°F (482°C) At that temperature, the steel will become unstable and will create a hazardous situation.

BTU’sIn our independent testing, we found the Zaug burns about 1 cubic foot of wood in 4 hours. If you consider that a pound of wood has 8000 BTU’s (acceptable rate), and there’s 21 pounds of wood in a cubic foot (Pine or Fir), the amount of heat given off after burning a cubic foot of wood is 168,000 BTU’s in 4 hours. That doesn’t mean the stove gives off that amount heat, it only means that, that much heat was produced by burning that amount. Some of the heat is lost when it travels out through the exhaust, and some will radiate out of the stove. Now, if you can capture even 90%* of the total heat created, and retain that heat within your house through the thermal mass and exhaust line retention, you will have approximately 151,200 BTU’s of heat over 4 hours. That’s 37,800 BTU’s/hour produced from sticks and branches. That’s enough heat to heat 6200 cu. ft. of space 45°F (25°C) in average cold, with average insulation.There’s 128 cu. ft. in a cord of wood, so that would last 128 four-hour fires. Or, 128 days of warmth. A four-hour fire is enough time to heat up your mass depending on how long it is.* Most thermal mass/stove combinations capture above 95% of heat.

Wood PelletsWood pellets are not recommended in the Zaug. The stove doesn't perform well with them. The pellets gather on the bottom of the burn chamber and glow, rather than burn. The design doesn’t allow air to get under the pellets enough to make a sustainable flame. The Zaug likes to have an active flame to operate efficiently. When using sticks and branches, the increased surface area offers more of a flame per ratio of wood, than pellets or a large block of wood.

If Heater or Flue Glows The Stove is Overfiring.

Zaug Stoves Installation and Operation Manual, Page 8

Page 9: Owners Manual in PDF

The CooktopThe cooktop of the stove can be easily removed for access to the interior, for quick cleaning. To remove, lift up on the plate while giving a slight twisting motion. The cooktop sits on the cylinder by gravity. Approximate weight of the cooktop is 35 lbs. (15.87kg).

Ash RemovalThere is an easy access ash pit, resting in the pedestal, for removing ash and unburned debris. To remove, pull the handle towards the front of the stove. The drawer will slide out of the pedestal. Empty the ash when the drawer becomes 3/4 full. The drawer can also be slightly opened to allow more air to enter the unit. Dispose the ash in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible 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 the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Return the ash drawer to its original position in the stove, and close.

Feed Tube DoorThe glass door on top of the feed tube is for spark prevention. Close the door completely while the stove is in operation. To reduce the risk of breaking the glass, avoid striking the glass or slamming the door. Never operate the stove with broken glass. For glass replacement, contact your Zaug dealer.

Maintenance

GeneralRegular maintenance is vital to the efficiency and safe operation of a Zaug. Some areas you should review on a regular basis include:Look for cracks or breaks in the joints or welds of the unit. If you find any, have a qualified person repair it immediately. Or, return the stove to us and we will fix or replace it for free. Do not use the Zaug until this problem is corrected.Remove the cooktop and check the condition of your perlite insulation level and metal liner in your stove (if applicable). If the perlite appears to be low, refill it immediately and discontinue using the heater until the perlite is refilled. Check for ash build up inside the unit. Remove with a vacuum. When placing the cooktop back on the unit, be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands. A stovepipe can deteriorate and should be replaced if it is suspected of burning out. Be sure that the joints are securely fastened together by screws.

Caution: Never empty a stove in operation. Never use your household or shop vacuum cleaner to remove ash from the stove; always remove and dispose of the ash properly.

Inspect and Clean Chimney Frequently.

Zaug Stoves Installation and Operation Manual, Page 9

Page 10: Owners Manual in PDF

Exterior MaintenanceThe stove surface is painted with Thurmalox heat-resistant paint. It is best kept clean by vacuuming with a soft brush attachment or by wiping with a lint-free cloth. Over a period of time, the painted surface may become slightly grey. A can of Thurmalox touch-up spray paint and clear lacquer finish should be available from your stove supplier. This can be applied - in accordance with the instructions - in just a few minutes. When first firing after touching up, the stove will give off a slight smell as the paint cures. Make sure to ventilate the room well during this phase.

Cleaning the Stove Interior and the FlueRemove the Cooktop plate. Check for soot around the central column and around the flue outlet every month or so. If the stove suddenly becomes sluggish, check for a soot fall around the exhaust port or in the flue/chimney. Inspect every month. Clean the flue/chimney - all the way from the stove to the flue terminal point above the house.A good routine is to clean the flue after each heating season, and inspect prior to the season to ensure that bird’s nests or other blockages have not occurred during the off season.

Troubleshooting

Blow BackBlow back occurs when there is a blockage in air flow. Check exhaust lines for blockages. Clean out exhaust port. Check to make sure priming run is open. Other possible causes for blow back are wind blowing in to the exhaust line from the termination port. Check your chimney cap to make sure you have adequate wind protection. Another possible reason might be that the stove, the mass, and the exhaust line are cold. In this case, use fire starter and let a small fire burn for 10 minutes before adding wood.

Fast Internal Wear and TearPersistent heavy firing causes premature wear and tear. Keep the operation temperature, checked on the cooktop plate, below 800°F (426°C).

Dirty GlassIf the glass becomes dirty, a possible cause is wet wood. This causes the combustion chamber to generate smoke and also decreases the burn temperature. Discontinue using it.

Black Smoke From ChimneyThe Zaug is designed to burn it’s fuel and gasses completely. If there is smoke coming from your flue it means the temperatures inside the unit are not getting hot enough for a complete burn. Check the temperature on the cooktop. Make sure the cooktop temperature is between 450-750°F (232-399°C). Make sure the fuel is dry, well seasoned wood.

WarrantyCoverageParts and workmanship is covered for 3 years from purchase date.

What Is Not Covered• Any damage caused by misuse, abuse, consistent over firing, accident (dropping or otherwise shocking the stove), or

physical damage. Also any incidental or consequential damage or loss is not covered. Improper installation will null and void all warranty. There are no warranties of merchantability or of fitness expressed or implied, which extend beyond the description on the face hereof. In no event shall Zaug Stoves be liable for damages in excess of the purchase price. Zaug Stoves neither assumes nor authorizes any other person to assume for it, any liability in connection with this product.

• Abuse, misuse or mistreatment (i.e. if you overheat the stove) VOIDS all warranties. We do our best to make all of our stoves as durable as possible. However there is no way for us to fully prevent any damage due to overheating, or other misuse. Warranty is limited to replacement of parts at the full discretion of the manufacturer and is limited to 3 years from date of purchase on the invoice. It is the responsibility of the purchaser of this product to follow all directions and use this product in a safe manner.

• Thurmalox painted surfaces or handle components or assemblies.• Damage as a result of poor installation and usage other than as described in Zaug Stoves installation and operation

instructions or if the installation does not conform to local building and fire and safety codes. • Defects or faults caused by local conditions such as draft problems and chimney defects.

Zaug Stoves Installation and Operation Manual, Page 12

Page 13: Owners Manual in PDF

• Damage caused by over-firing or over-heating (as described in the operation manual). Warping and a red-oxide coloring will demonstrate the over-heating of internal parts; body paint pigment that has turned dusty white is also indicative.

• Damage caused by the use of the wrong type of fuel. • Damage caused by unauthorized modifications, use or repair. • Damage incurred while the stove is in transit; this should be claimed against the shipper or freight carrier. Contact the

authorized dealer from whom you have purchased your stove. (Do not operate the appliance as this may negate the ability to process the claim with the carrier)

• Parts supplied by any manufacturer other than Zaug Stoves. • Costs relating to the removal, repair or re-installation. • Modifications by the user or any companies other than Zaug Stoves are not guaranteed.• The stove must be installed in accordance with the official Zaug Stoves instruction manual and local building codes

and fire and safety regulations. • Repaired or replaced products are covered only for the remainder of the original warranty period.

In no event shall Zaug Stoves be liable for special, incidental or consequential damages, injury to persons or property, or any other consequential loss. Some States do not allow the disclaimer or limitation of damages so you should consult the laws of your State to determine if this limitation applies to you.

Final NotesCertificationZaug Stoves Company has been working closely with the Department of Ecology to get the Zaug certified. The problem preventing certification, is that this method of burning wood is so unique, that the EPA doesn't have a test designed that we can take to pass for certification. The earliest chance of having this stove certified is summer 2014.
