IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
1. When installing your stove, particular attention should be paid to fire protection. If this room heater is not
properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions. Contact local building, fire officials or authority having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection and
permit requirements in your area.
2. 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 it is in use.
3. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
Do not burn treated wood, or wood with salt (driftwood, etc.). Burning materials other than wood (including
charcoal) under adverse conditions may generate carbon monoxide in the home, resulting in illness or possible death.
4. Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from your unit. Do not place wood, paper, furniture, drapes or other
combustibles near the appliance.
5. During operation, if any part of the stove starts to glow, the stove is in an over-fired condition. Close the air
control completely by pushing it in until the glowing has stopped. OVERFIRING VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY!
6. RISK OF FIRE! Do not operate with stove door or ash removal system door open.
7. Your woodstove should burn dry, standard firewood only. The use of cut lumber, plywood, “mill ends”, etc. is
not recommended as this fuel can easily overheat your woodstove. Salt water driftwood and chemically
treated fire logs also must not be burned in your woodstove.
8. WARNING! Never draw outside combustion air from a wall, floor or ceiling cavity or from any
enclosed space such as an attic or garage, carport or under a mobile home.
9. Check your chimney system thoroughly when installing into an existing metal or masonry chimney. Seek
professional advice if in doubt about its condition.
10. Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as shown in this manual for this appliance.
11. Build fire on brick firebox floor. Do not use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.
12. HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! Keep children, pets, clothing and furniture away. Contact can cause skin
burns.
13. Do not operate without fully assembling all components. Burning your stove without the legs attached (if
supplied with unit) will void your warranty, and could present a serious safety hazard.
14. All fuel burning appliances consume oxygen during operation. It is important that you supply a source of
fresh air to your unit while burning. A slightly opened window is sufficient for this purpose. If you also have a
fireplace in your home, a downdraft may be created causing a draft down your chimney. Provide adequate
ventilation.
15. The controls of your unit or the air supply passages should not be altered to increase firing for any reason.
16. If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low a setting your unit will not be operating as efficiently as it can. An
easy rule of thumb says that if your glass is clean, then your flue is clean and your exhaust is clean. Burn the
stove hot enough to keep your glass clean and you won't need to clean your flue as often.
17. Burning wet or green, unseasoned wood, could cause excessive creosote accumulation in the flue pipe and
chimney. This could result in a chimney fire. Store wood in a dry location.
18. Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the chimney system. Check and clean chimney at regular intervals. Failure to do so can result in a serious chimney fire.
19. Cool ashes should be disposed of carefully, using a metal container.
20. Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
21. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue already serving another appliance.
22. This appliance must be connected to a vent and terminate to the outside of the building envelope. Never
vent to another room or inside a building.
23. Do not operate if the gasket on the door or ash plug is missing or damaged.
24. Do not operate with broken glass.
25. For further information refer to NFPA 211 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B365 (Canada).

YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE CAREFULLY SUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE IN
THE SAME ROOM AS THE APPLIANCE.
SAFETY NOTE: If this woodstove is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For
your safety, follow the installation instructions, contact local building, fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in
your area.
The authority having jurisdiction should be consulted before installation to determine
the need to obtain a permit.
WHEN LOCATING YOUR STOVE: Consider safety, convenience, traffic flow, and the
fact that the stove will need a chimney and chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan
your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the installation.
These installation instructions describe the installation and operation of the CHALET
1800 woodstove. This stove meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 1990
particulate emission standards. The Chalet 1800 is listed by Lab Test Laboratories,
Inc. to UL Safety Standard 1482, ULC S627, and (UM) 84-HUD. The Chalet 1800 is
approved for mobile home installations when not installed in a sleeping room and when
an outside combustion air inlet is provided. The structural integrity of the mobile home
floor, ceiling, and walls must be maintained. The stove must be properly grounded to
the frame of the mobile home and use only listed double-wall connector pipe. The Mobile Home Outside Air Kit must be installed in a mobile home installation.
SAFETY LABEL
A copy of the label that accompanies each Archgard Chalet 1800, is printed on the next
page for your convenience.
NOTE: Archgard units are constantly being improved. If there is a conflict between the
label on the unit and the one printed here, the label on the unit is the correct one. The
safety label is located on the back panel of the stove.

PEDESTAL, BOTTOM SHIELD / SKIRT LEG - ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the stove and remove all the parts packed inside. Inspect all the parts and stove body for
shipping damage. Contact your dealer if any irregularities are noticed.
NOTE: The Chalet 1800 stove body comes
strapped to a pallet with the bricks, secondary air
tubes and baffle plates already installed.
Take care when laying the stove on its back to install the Pedestal or Leg and Bottom Shield / Skirt
Assembly. You may want to remove the bricks before laying the stove down.
The Pedestal Assembly and the Bottom Shield /
Skirt Assembly (skirt and ash drawer) come packaged in separate boxes. The legs are packaged
separately as is the cast door.
PEDESTAL ASSEMBLY
1. For easier assembly, tip the stove body on
its back (preferably onto a soft surface to
prevent scratching).
2. Slide the pedestal up against the bottom of
the stove. You will be aligning the 4 holes in
the corners of the pedestal with the corresponding holes in the base of the stove.
3. Use a centering device, such as a center
punch and lift one corner of the pedestal and
push the centering device loosely through
the hole in the pedestal corner and into the
“Tee” nut in the base of the stove (If you
haven’t removed the bricks, be very careful
not to loosen them - two people would be
helpful for this job)
4. Now swing the pedestal up so that the opposite
holes align and install and tighten the supplied
5/16” x ½” bolt and 2 washers per bolt with a ½”
wrench.
Remove the centering device and install the
remainder of the supplied 5/16” x ½” bolts and
washers and tighten them with a ½” wrench.
5. Lift the unit upright (two people would be helpful here also)
6. Slide in the ash drawer
7. Reinstall the bricks, if removed, and check the
positioning of the secondary air tubes and baffle plates.
8. Correct positioning if necessary.
