IMPORTANT SAFETY AND WARNIING
INFORMATION
READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY AND UNDERSTAND THESE RULES TO FOLLOW FOR SAFETY.
1. When 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 or fire officials
about restrictions and installation inspection requirements
in your area.
2. Wear gloves during installation to avoid injury from sharp
edges on the stove and/or its parts.
3. This unit is designed and engineered to burn only dry, wellseasoned wood. Burning wet wood will greatly reduce the
Stove’s efficiency, produce excessive amounts of smoke
and can cause dangerous chimney fires due to creosote
build-up.
4. Before opening the door, the draft control must be fully open
to avoid possible combustion flash (ignition of hot volatile
gases as the door is opened).
5. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or ’freshenup’
a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from
the heater while it is in use. DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR
FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.
6. While burning, fuel utilizes oxygen from the air in the room.
Be sure to allow an adequate amount of fresh air into the
room where the stove is burning.
7. The outside surface of the stove will be hot while burning
properly and can set items like clothing and curtains on
fire. Keep furnishings and other combustible materials
away from the stove. Using the heat from the stove to dry
wet clothing can be hazardous if clothes are placed too
near the surface of the stove.
8. HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING
FURNISHINGS AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL A CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Do not allow children to play near the stove without close
supervision. Do not touch the stove while it is burning.
Use extreme caution while the unit is in use. Surface temperatures become dangerously hot and can cause serious
burns.
9. Do not allow anyone to operate the stove who is not familiar
with the operating instructions.
10. Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed stove
design specifications can result in permanent damage to
the stove. Never leave your stove unattended on high burn
rates. This may cause overfiring. Overfiring the stove may
cause a house fire. If the stove glows, you are overfiring.
11. Keep a water hose or hand-operated fire extinguisher close
for safety.
12. Smoke Detectors - Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing
smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke detector in
a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility
of occasional false activation from the heat produced by
the stove). If your local code requires a smoke detector
be installed within the same room, you must follow the
requirements of your local code. Check with your local
building department for requirements in your area.
13. Inspect your chimney at least once a month during the burn-
ing season to check for soot and creosote accumulations.
Any accumulations over
a professional chimney sweep. Do not attempt to burn out
heavy creosote accumulations with a hot fire. If large accumulations are occurring, review your burning procedures.
14. If a creosote fire should develop, the fire department should
be called immediately and then attempts should be made
to control the fire until assistance arrives. If a “runaway”
fire should develop causing over-heating of the stove, the
door and draft regulators should be closed immediately.
The fire should die down once deprived of oxygen. After a
severe chimney fire, the complete chimney system should
be checked before further use.
15. Do Not Use Grate Or Elevate Fire - Build Wood Fire Directly
On Hearth (firebrick). Do not use andirons or other methods
of supporting the fuel.
16. Please read this entire manual before you install and use
your new room heater. Failure to follow instructions may
result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
17. Check all local building and safety codes before installation.
The installation instructions and appropriate code requirements must be followed exactly and without compromise.
In the absence of local codes the following standards and
codes must be followed.
18. In the U.S.A, install in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Association’s Code, NFPA 211, Standards for
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances, or similar regulations, may apply to the installation
of a Solid-Fuel-Burning appliance in your area. In Canada,
the guideline is established by the CSA Standard, CAN/
CSA-B365-M93, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning
Appliances and Equipment.
19.
DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY
AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCTWORK UNLESS SPECIFICALLY
APPROVED FOR SUCH INSTALLATIONS.
20. WARNING: BURNING IMPROPER FUEL (I.E. CHARCOAL)
CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, WHICH
MAY LEAD TO DEATH!
21. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning – Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu with headaches, dizziness,
or nausea. If you have these signs, get fresh air at once!
Have the heater inspected by a qualified service technician.
Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than
others. These include pregnant women, people with heart
or lung disease or anemia, those under the influence of
alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
22. Failure to use manufacturer provided parts, variations in
techniques and construction materials or practices other than
those described in this manual may create a fire hazard and
void the limited warranty.
23. Do not make any make-shift compromises during installation. Any modification or alteration may result in damage
to the appliance or dwelling and will void the warranty,
certification and listings of this unit.
24. These appliances are designed as supplemental heaters.
Therefore, it is advisable to have an alternate heat source
when installed in a dwelling.
25. Do Not Overfire – If Heater or Chimney Connector Glows,
You Are Overfiring.
26. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
27. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH
AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.

This manual describes the installation and operation of these non-catalytic
wood heaters. These heaters meet the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s emissions limits for wood heaters sold on or after July 1, 1990.
This heater has been developed, tested and constructed in accordance
with the requirements of UL 1482, ULC S627 and HUD standards and
is listed by OMNI Test Laboratories, Portland, OR. It has been approved
for residential, mobile home and alcove installations.
DRAFT REQUIREMENTS
read greater than .04’ W.C. (inches water column) and less than .08”
W.C. As per NFPA-211 standard (see paragraph below), the installer
must take into account all variables within the installation and install the
appliance in such a manner that satisfies the draft requirements of the
appliance. See Chimney Guidelines below to assist you in selecting the
proper venting system for your installation.
American National Standards Institute ANSI/NFPA 211, Standard for
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances
- See Draft Section: A chimney or vent shall be so designed and con-
structed to develop a flow sufficient to completely remove all flue and
vent gases to the outside atmosphere. The venting system shall satisfy
the draft requirements of the connected appliance in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Your wood stove is dependent upon a properly functioning chimney for
optimum performance. It is a high efficiency appliance that loses much
less heat up the chimney than older appliances and fireplaces. For this
reason it is important to match the stove to the chimney. The chimney
has two functions:
1. It draws combustion air into the appliance (without air, no fuel will
burn) and
2. It exhausts combustion by-products. Your new appliance is what is
known as a “natural draft” appliance.
The appliance depends solely on the natural draft of the chimney system
to draw combustion air into the unit. Draft is the force that moves air from
the appliance up into the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions
and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the
appliance (overfiring). Slow or inadequate draft equals poor combustion
and possible smoking problems. The following are some conditions that
may contribute to poor chimney draft:
1. A chimney too large for your appliance.
2. A chimney with not enough height to produce adequate draft.
3. A chimney with excessive height (this may allow exhaust to cool too
much before exiting, which will stall the rate the exhaust exits).
4. Offsets in the venting system are too restrictive (see Chimney Guide-
lines).
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room
through the stove and the chimney connector joints.
Excessive draft may cause an uncontrollable burn or a glowing red stove
or chimney part.
Chimney Guidelines:
• This appliance requires approximately 12 feet minimum of “effective
draw” provided by the venting system. As a rule of thumb, every 90
degree total direction change in the venting will result in a loss of
approximately 5 feet of “effective draw.” Example: If two 45 degree
offsets are used, subtract 5 feet from the actual vertical vent height
to determine your “effective draw.” In this case if you had 14 feet of
vertical vent, the effective draw would only be approximately 9 feet
(14 ft. - 5 ft. = 9 ft.), therefore it may be necessary to add additional
height to the venting system.
• Do not install an offset within the first two feet above the flue outlet
on the appliance.
• In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may be difficult to establish
a good draft up your chimney. The poor draft is caused by a shortage
of air in the house. In this situation an Outside Air Kit may need to
be installed (See Negative Pressure Warning on Page 5 and Outside
Combustion Air on Page 11).
Chimney Height Requirements
The chimney must extend 3’ (.92m) above the level of roof penetration
and a minimum of 2’ (.61m) higher than any roof surface within 10’
(3m) (see below). Check with your local building officials for additional
requirements for your area.
Overfiring Damage - If the heater or chimney connector glows, you are
overfiring. Other symptoms may include: Cracking, warping or burning
out of components, plated accessories may turn color, stove glass may
develop a haze, which will not come off with cleaning.
Overfiring of a stove is a condition where excessive temperatures are
reached, beyond the design capabilities of the appliance. The damage
that occurs from overfiring is not covered under the manufacturer’s
limited warranty.
Also see Troubleshooting on Page 20.
SELECTING THE PROPER VENTING SYSTEM
The appliance is merely one component of a larger system. The other
equally important component is the venting system. This is necessary for
achieving the required flow of combustion air to the fire chamber and for
safely removing unwanted combustion byproducts from the appliance.
If the venting system’s design does not promote these ends, the system
may not function properly. Poorly functioning venting systems may create
performance problems as well as be a safety hazard. A draft test should

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Figure 1 - Chimney Height Requirements
To pass inspection in nearly any jurisdiction, the chimney must meet both
safety and exhaust flow requirements. The (3’ by) 2’ by 10’ rule applies
to both masonry and factory-built chimneys.
* Ref. USA - National Standard, NFPA 211-latest edition and Canada
National Standard CSA B365-01-latest edition. Vents installed with a
listed cap shall terminate in accordance with the terms of the cap’s
listings.
NEGATIVE PRESSURE WARNING
FUEL
This appliance is not designed to be operated in a negative pressure.
In very airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust fans, furnace cold air
returns, fresh air exchange systems and any other air system in close
proximity to the heating appliance may create a negative pressure in the
same room as the heating appliance. This can create dangerous back
drafting of the stove and chimney joints, drawing combustion by-products
into the home. Be sure your home has adequate makeup air to eliminate
negative pressures caused by the above-mentioned sources. Outside air
connected to the appliance probably will not resolve such a problem as
the stove or fireplace insert is not the source of negative pressure. Lennox
Hearth Products accepts no liability for damages resulting from negative
pressures described here.
Ventilation Requirements - Provide adequate air for combustion. The
fresh air requirements of this appliance must be met within the space
where it will be installed. Ventilation is essential when using a Solid-FuelBurning heater. In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may be
difficult to establish a good draft up the chimney (caused by a shortage
of air in the home). The lack of air is caused by many common household
appliances which exhaust air from the home (such as a furnace, heat
pump, air conditioner, clothes dryer, exhaust fans, fireplaces, and other
fuel burning appliances). Also, the combustion process of this heater
uses oxygen from inside the dwelling. If the available fresh air delivery
in the dwelling is insufficient to support the demands of these appliances,
problems can result (i.e. excessive negative pressure can develop in the
dwelling which will affect the rate at which this appliance can draft thus
resulting in performance problems. To correct this problem it may help
to open a window (preferably on the windward side of the house) or
install an optional outside air kit.
CREOSOTE
Creosote Formation and Need for Removal - When wood is burned
slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the
relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes
an extremely hot fire. The chimney and chimney connector should be
inspected at least once monthly during the heating season to determine
if a creosote build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated (1/8” [3
mm] or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and firing technique.
Check daily for creosote build-up until experience shows how often
you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the
less creosote is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary
in mild weather even though monthly cleaning may be enough in
the coldest months. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire
authority for information on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a
clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be scooped out of a cool stove with a small metal shovel.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid and moved
outdoors immediately. Other waste shall not be placed in this container.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible
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 the cinders have thoroughly cooled. Ashes can ignite up to 72 hours
after removal from the stove.
This unit is designed and engineered to burn, dry, well-seasoned wood only.
Dry, seasoned wood is that which has been cut, split and allowed to dry
under a covered area where air is free to flow and circulate under and
around the wood (not under a tarp or plastic). Make sure wood is not
stacked directly on the ground, it may absorb moisture from the ground.
It should be allowed to dry in these conditions for a minimum of six
months, preferably one year or more.
IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD
THAT WOOD CANNOT BE LEFT IN ANY KIND OF WET OR DAMP
AREA OR IT WILL NEVER BECOME COMPLETELY SEASONED.
Your stove will not operate at the level that it is meant to unless you use
seasoned, dry wood. Do not burn driftwood or wood that has been in salt
water, doing so will void your warranty. Do not burn treated wood, coal,
garbage, cardboard, solvents, or colored paper. Burning treated wood,
garbage, solvents, or colored paper may result in the release of toxic
fumes. This type of burning will also void your warranty.
Do Not store fuel within space heater installation clearances or within
the space required for refueling and ash removal.
PAINT CURING
If your stove has plated accessories, be sure to clean it with a household
type glass cleaner and a very soft cloth to remove any fingerprints and
residues prior to the first fire and before any fire if the gold has been
handled or soiled. Do not close the door tightly during the “Burn-In
Period.” Also, open the door frequently (every 5-10 minutes) to keep the
gasket from adhering to the curing paint. Ventilate the house well during
these first firings as the paint gives off carbon dioxide and unpleasant
odors. It is recommended that persons sensitive to an imbalance in the
indoor air quality avoid the stove during the curing process.
Your new appliance is painted with a high temperature paint that cures
during the first few firings. We recommend that you put your stove through
a regimen of three burns. The first two should last for 20 minutes each
at 250 degrees (the stove should be allowed to cool completely between
each burn). The third should be a burn of at least 450 degrees F. for 45-60
minutes. The paint will become soft, gummy and emit non-toxic smoke
during these burns. After the stove cools down for the third time, the
paint will harden.
DO NOT BUILD A LARGE ROARING FIRE UNTIL
THIS CURING EFFECT IS COMPLETE OR YOU MAY DAMAGE THE
FINISH OF YOUR STOVE. Spray can touch-ups should be done only
with a high temperature stove paint (cat. no. H8159), available from all
Lennox Hearth Products dealers.
BURN-IN PERIOD
Please be patient with the heat output of your stove for the first few weeks.
The steel will go through a curing process that eliminates moisture, which
is deep in the steel and firebrick. This moisture will reduce initial heat
output of your stove and may make it difficult to start. After you have
broken in the paint on the stove it will be necessary to build hot fires to
thoroughly remove the moisture from the appliance. Running the stove
with the draft fully open for 1 to 1-1/2 hours after starting and adding
generous amounts of fuel during the first week or two should complete
the curing process. We recommend the use of a thermometer attached
to the stovetop or chimney. Temperatures on the connector pipe should
run in the 250-600 degree range.
(DO NOT OVERFIRE THE STOVE
DURING THIS PROCESS. IF THE STOVE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES
RED, REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR ENTERING THE STOVE
IMMEDIATELY).

plane of the stove, therefore the floor protection required off the
back corners (at a 45 degree angle) only needs to extend to the
wall. This situation will only occur in CANADA installations.
6- Reference dimension only, to assist in planning the installation.
Clearances to connector pipe shall be measured from the flue
collar of the stove.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
• Install chimney as per manufacturer’s instructions. Some brands of
pipe may require removal of the spacer ring in the flue collar.
• All horizontal runs of pipe should be as short as possible and are
required by NFPA No. 211 to have an upward pitch or rise in the same
direction the smoke travels of no less than 1/4” to the linear foot. The
connector pipe must meet minimum clearances in any direction to
walls or other combustible materials. It must attach to a listed double
wall metal chimney at least 6” in diameter or to a masonry chimney
with a flue passage of at least 48 square inches.
• It is required that a chimney connector pipe not extend further than
the inner wall of the flue when it is connected to a masonry chimney
and that it either be cemented to the masonry or be installed without
cement in a thimble connected to the masonry wall. When the
connector is inserted into a thimble, the joint must be tight enough
so that it will not be dislodged in normal use. Install connector at
no less than the minimum clearances from the ceiling when using a
90-degree elbow to pass through combustible constructions.
• Chimney connector pipes should never pass through a floor, ceiling,
fire wall, partition, or combustible construction of any type unless
certain precautions are taken. The best method is to use a listed
thimble and a listed chimney in accordance with the manufacturer’s
directions. NFPA No. 211 gives approved methods for passing a flue
pipe through combustible constructions (see Page 10).
