Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a HASE Tula woodstove
from Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products.
This stove will provide years of comfortable heat.
This stove also provides the benefits of advanced
technology in wood burning without the cost and
maintenance requirements of a catalytic device. The
Tula blends modern technology with the unique
beauty and qualities of steel. We trust that you will
appreciate the quality of this handcrafted product.

Your T
produce a large amount of heat. However, you
should not consider your Tula the primary heat
source for your home. The Tula’s large glass window
allows you to enjoy the fire from a variety of
locations in the room.

Please read this manual in its entirety. Its purpose is
to familiarize you with your stove's safe installation,
proper break-in, operation and maintenance. It
contains extremely important information so keep it
handy and refer to it often.

A qualified heating technician may need this owner’s
manual as a reference when installing this stove in
your home. There are national, state, and local
building codes that direct the technician on how to
install your stove. These codes stipulate the
dimension of stovepipe and clearances to walls,
ceilings, hearth, and other combustible surfaces.
The codes exist to reduce the risk of fire. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire, property
damage, bodily injury, and even death.

ula woodstove burns very efficiently, and

SAFETY NOTICE:

AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED STOVE CAN
RESULT IN A HOUSE FIRE. FOR YOUR SAFETY,
CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR
FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND
INSTALLATION INSPECTION IN YOUR AREA.

The safety of your stove will depend on many
factors, some of which include: distance to
combustible objects, correct venting, and adequate
chimney maintenance. Should you have any
questions, do not hesitate to contact your dealer for
additional information.

Contact your dealer for any necessary warranty
service.

This stove is warranted by:
Hearthstone

Quality Home Heating Products, Inc®

317 Stafford Ave.
Morrisville, Vermont 05661, USA

Install the stove in a safe, open area, away from
traffic flow, doors, and hallways. If possible, try to
install the stove near an existing chimney and
chimney connector. It is extremely important to
install this stove with the proper clearance from
combustible surfaces. You can purchase specific
connector pipe and special wall coverings as
specified by this manual and the NFPA 211 code to
protect combustible surfaces. As a general rule,
keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and
other combustibles at least 36 inches (92 cm) away
from the stove. Never install the stove in or near a
storage location for gasoline, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid or any other flammable liquids.

Install the stove in your central living area to allow
heat to radiate naturally to distant rooms. Do not
install your stove in a poorly insulated area. This is
inefficient and would likely result in higher fuel
usage.

Other safety guidelines:

Keep all combustible items such as furniture,

drapes, clothing, and other items, at least 36"

(0.92 m) from the stove (See page 8)
Install a smoke detector, preferably in an area

away from your wood stove.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy. We recommend

the type rated "A B C."
Dispose of ashes properly. (See page 20)
Keep children and pets away from the stove

when it is burning; they could be seriously

injured by touching a hot stove.
Clean your chimney system as needed. (See

page 21)
Outside combustion air may be required if:

1. This solid-fuel-fired appliance does not draw
steadily, smoke rollout occurs, fuel burns
poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or not
there is combustion present.

2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house,
such as fireplaces or other heating
appliances, smell, do not operate properly,
suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back­draft whether or not there is combustion
present.

3. Opening a window slightly on a calm
(windless) day alleviates any of the above
symptoms.

4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed
vapor barrier and tight fitting windows and/or
has any powered devices that exhaust
house air.

5. There is excessive condensation on
windows in the winter.

6. A ventilation system is installed in the
house.

be provided from the outdoors. Outside combustion
air can be provided to the appliance by using the
optional outside air kit #91-53900

PERIODIC CHECKLIST

Perform each of these tasks at the specified
intervals.

At the End of Every Week:

Empty ashes from the firebox and ash pan,

sooner if the firebox or the ash pan is full.

At the Beginning of Every Other Month:

Depending upon your use of the stove, visually

inspect the chimney connector and chimney for
creosote. (see page 21)

Check door seals using the "dollar bill test." -

When the stove is cool, shut the door on a dollar
bill. If the bill pulls out without any resistance,
then your stove’s door is not sealing properly. To
tighten the seal, adjust the door latch
mechanism or change the door gasket. (Refer to
page 21.)

At the End of Every Season:

Dismantle the chimney connector and clean it

thoroughly. Replace any pieces that show signs

of rust or deterioration.
Inspect and, if necessary, clean your chimney.
Clean out the inside of the stove thoroughly.
Inspect all door gasket material and replace if

worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
Inspect and replace cracked or damaged

vermiculite panels (see page 23).

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

If you have a stovepipe or chimney fire, follow these
instructions:

1. If the fire is too threatening, leave the area and
call the fire department immediately! If not,
perform the next three steps.

2. Close the primary air control.

3. Close the stovepipe damper (if present).

4. Keep the stove front door closed!

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT OUT A

STOVEPIPE OR CHIMNEY FIRE BY THROWING
WATER ONTO THE STOVE, STOVEPIPE, OR
CHIMNEY. THE EXTREMELY HIGH
TEMPERATURE OF SUCH FIRES CAN CAUSE
INSTANTANEOUS STEAM AND SERIOUS BODILY
HARM.

Once the chimney fire expires, leave the primary air
control closed and let the fire in the stove die out
completely. Inspect the stove, stovepipe, and
chimney thoroughly for any sign of damage before
firing the stove again. You must correct any damage
before using your stove again.

INSTALLING YOUR STOVE

Choose a place to install your Tula woodstove.
Inspect this location to make sure that the stove and
stovepipes will have the required clearance from
combustible materials that are near the stove.
Combustibles include walls, floor, ceiling, and
chimney chase. You must carefully consider the
clearances to all of these combustibles before
actually connecting your stove.

HEARTH REQUIREMENTS & FLOOR PROTECTION

Ensure you protect combustible flooring with a
covering of noncombustible material. The Tula does
not require an insulated hearth pad. The floor
protection must extend beyond the body of the
stove at the minimum as follows:

* Installations in Canada require 18” (45.72 cm) of floor

protection beyond the front, or fuel loading opening.

** Rear clearance required only if stovepipe runs

horizontally back above the top of the stove.

If the floor is made of combustible material, then a
non-combustible floor protector is required between
the floor and the stove. An example of a non­combustible floor protector is a hearth constructed
with a continuous layer of tile, brick, slate, glass or
another non-combustible facing. There is no R-value
requirement.

If you use a close clearance connector pipe, ensure
it is listed with Underwriter’s Laboratories. Check the
listing of your
clearances.

The diagrams in this manual represent typical
installations, but are specific to the Simpson Dura­Vent DVL brand.

Clearances to NFPA Code 211 Protected
Surfaces

You can reduce the clearances to combustible
surfaces by using any National Fire Protection
