(1) Based on delivered heat output.
(2) This appliance is officially tested and certified by an independent agency.
(3) Values are as measured per CSA B415.1-10, except for the recommended heating area, firebox volume, maximum burn time and maximum input capacity. Performances based on a fuel load prescribed by the standard at 10 lb/ft³ and with a moisture content between 18% and 28%.
() Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may vary subject to location in home, chimney draft, heat loss factors, climate, fuel type and other variables. The recommended heating area for a given appliance is defined by the manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum acceptable temperature considering that the space configuration and the presence of heat distribution systems have a significant impact in making heat circulation optimum.
(4) Input value at 10 lb/ft³ fuel loading density and dry energy value of 8,600 BTU/lb.
(5) Overall : Radiated and delivered heat together at 10 lb/ft³ fuel loading density over one total burn cycle.
(6) Efficiency based on radiated and delivered heat when allowing cycling from high to low burn to simulate thermostat demand.
(7) Higher Heating Value of the fuel.
(8) Lower Heating Value of the fuel.
(9) Delivered: Remotely provided to other rooms through ducting at 10 lb/ft³ fuel loading density over one total burn cycle.
(10) Efficiency based on delivered heat when allowing cycling from high to low burn to simulate thermostat demand. LHV % is based on manufacturer’s estimation.
(11) Optimum overall efficiency at a specific burn rate (LHV).
(12) The optimum heat transfer efficiency is for the low burn rate (using HHV) and represents the appliance’s ability to convert the energy contained in the wood logs into energy transferred to the room in the form of heat and does not take into account the chemical losses during combustion.
(13) Carbon Monoxyde. Based on overall heat output at 10 lb/ft³ fuel loading density.
(14) Unless stated otherwise, measures were taken directly at the main power source and include all electrical components present in the appliance.
