Special Warnings and Notices

1.0 Some things to keep in mind

1.1 CARBON MONOXIDE

Carbon monoxide, referred to as CO, is a colorless, odorless gas that is produced during combustion of coal and other fuels. CO fumes
are toxic and can be fatal.

• The Super-Magnum is a natural draft system which relies on a properly designed chimney to remove CO and other
combustion by-products from the stove.

• Even though this stove is designed to be as safe as possible, it is important that you install a CO detector. This is true for oil,
gas, or wood burning products as well.

• CO is not specifically heavier or lighter than air. Therefore, it is best to install the detector at table top level rather than on the
ceiling like a smoke detector.

• CO detectors are very sensitive and may sound an alarm for fumes other than CO or CO from sources other than the stove
such as car or lawn mower exhaust.

If the alarm sounds:

• Increase ventilation by opening windows or doors.

• Make sure the stove doors and hopper lid are closed and latched.

• Check stove for electrical power and normal operation.

• Check chimney for possible blockage or down-draft.

• Check for false alarm.

NEVER SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM WITH ANY COAL BURNING STOVE!

1.2 WET COAL

Freshly delivered coal is often watered down to eliminate dust when loading and unloading. Wet rice coal does not flow as well as dry
coal. We do not recommend burning wet coal; however, we realize if it's the only coal you have, it is better to burn it than to be cold. If
you must burn wet coal, the feed rate will likely need increased. Doing this once or twice a year will not damage your stove as long as it
is hot and burning. Damage is caused when the hopper is left with wet coal in it while the stove is cold. This will cause rust and
corrosion and it is totally the operator’s fault. After the coal dries for three or four days, depending on conditions, it will flow and feed
properly.

1.3 PREVENT RUST AND CORROSION

Always empty the hopper when not burning for more than a week. When left standing for long periods with wet coal, the feed system
will rust and corrode, causing it to seize. If the stoker is then turned "on", damage to the pusher assembly and feed motor could result.
This will be considered neglect and will void the warranty on those parts. Always check to see that moving parts are free before using, if
the unit has not been burned for a period of time. This can best be determined by running a "Test" cycle and watching the cam block
and pusher arm inside the right rear door.

NEVER USE GASOLINE, 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.

SPECIAL NOTE: DUE TO ASH BUILDUP, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDEDTO HAVE YOUR STOVE PROFESSIONALLY
CLEANED AND SERVICED ANNUALLY. THIS INCLUDES ALL PARTS OF THE STOVE, AND THE VENTING SYSTEM.

NEVER CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

Installation and repair of this stove should be done by a qualified service person. We recommend that the stove be inspected before use
and at least annually by a qualified service person. Periodic cleaning is required throughout the heating season and at the end of each
winter for the stove to work efficiently.

First Steps

2.0 Getting Started

2.1 APPLIANCE LOCATION

Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, traffic flow, and the fact that the appliance 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.

Maintain specified vent clearance to combustible requirements listed by the vent manufacturers instructions and all clearance to
combustibles listed in this manual.

Check with your local building code agency before you begin your installation. Be sure local codes do not supersede UL specifications
and always obtain the required permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be unexpectedly canceled. If any assistance is
required during installation, please contact your dealer.

We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your insurance company representative review your plans before and after the
installation.

2.2 ROOM SENSOR LOCATION

The room sensor's location will have some effect on the appliance's operation. When the sensor is located close to the appliance, it may
require a higher setting to keep the rest of the house comfortable. If the sensor is located in an adjacent room, or farther away from the
stove, you will notice higher temperatures near the appliance.

DO NOT OPERATE BEFORE READING AND UNDERSTANDING THE INSTRUCTIONS.

2.3 FIRE SAFETY

Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the designated air
space around the chimney. This space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat removal from the area. Insulation in this
space will cause a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing.

NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration:

• Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home. Detectors should be located away from the heating appliance
and close to sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer's placement and installation instructions, and be sure to
maintain regularly.

• Maintain a conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.

• Have a practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape routes.

• Form a plan to deal with a hopper fire as follows:

• In the event of a hopper fire:

✔ Evacuate the house immediately.

✔ Notify Fire Department.
