1. Maximum burn times and heat outputs are based on laboratory testing using full loads of seasoned hardwoods, and may vary in

individual use depending on how the stove is operated, type and moisture content of fuel, and other factors. Maximum burn times
are achieved under different operating conditions than are maximum heat outputs.

2. These values are based on operation in building code-conforming homes under typical winter climate conditions in the U.S. If your

home is of nonstandard construction (e.g. unusually well-insulated, not insulated, built underground, or if you live in a more severe
and more temperate climate), these fi gures may not apply. Since so many variables affect performance, consult your Lexington
Forge Authorized Dealer to determine realistic expectations for your home.

3. Under specifi c conditions used during EPA emissions testing.

PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

1. Check with the building inspector’s offi ce for compliance with local codes; a permit may be required.

2. This appliance requires a masonry or prefabricated chimney listed to ULC S629 (Canada) and UL 103HT (U.S.) sized correctly.

3. A 6" (152mm) diameter fl ue is required for proper performance.

4. Always connect this unit to a chimney and NEVER VENT TO ANOTHER ROOM OR INSIDE A BUILDING.

5. DO NOT connect this unit to any duct work to which another appliance is connected such as a furnace.

6. DO NOT connect this unit to a chimney fl ue serving another appliance.

7. The connector pipe and chimney should be inspected periodically and cleaned if nescessary.

8. Remember the clearance distances when you place furniture or other objects within the area. DO NOT store wood, fl ammable

liquids or other combustible materials too close to the unit. Refer to certifi cation label on back of your unit for required

clearances.

9. Contact your local municipal or provincial fi re authority for information on how to handle a chimney fi re. Have a clearly

understood plan to handle a chimney fi re. In the event of a chimney fi re, turn air control to closed position and CALL THE

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

10. DO NOT tamper with combustion air control beyond normal adjustment.

11. If installing in a mobile home, use mobile home kit.

WHY THE CORRECT FLUE SIZE IS IMPORTANT — 6" (152 MM)

Draft is the force, which moves air from the appliance up through 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. An uncontrolled burn, a glowing red part or chimney connector indicates excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause
back puffi ng into the room and “plugging” of the chimney and/or cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance
and chimney connector joints.

Today’s solid fuel appliances are much more effi cient than in the past. The units are designed to give you controlled combustion, as
well as maximum heat transfer, using less fuel to do so. The design of your new appliance is such that the exhaust “smoke” is now at
lower temperatures than in the past, therefore requiring proper chimney size to give adequate draft. If your chimney is too large, the
heating appliance will have a diffi cult time to raise the “chimney fl ue” temperature to give adequate draft, therefore causing a smoke
back up, poor burn, or both.

Should you experience such a problem call in a local chimney expert.

With the door closed, the rate of burning is regulated by the amount of air allowed to enter the unit through the air control. With
experience you will be able to set the control for heat and burning time desired.

Once the required chimney draft is obtained, operate only with doors closed and open slowly when re-fueling. (This will reduce or
eliminate smoke from entering the room.)

After reading these instructions, if you have any doubt about your ability to complete your installation in
a professional like manner, you should obtain the services of an installer versed in all aspects as to the
correct and safe installation. DO NOT use temporary, makeshift compromises during installation.

CAUTION

6 63D0001

CAUTION

Attempts to achieve higher output rates that exceed heater design specifi cations can result in permanent damage to the heater. The
recommended wood load is level with the top of the fi rebricks. Overloading may prevent suffi cient air entering the heater to properly
fuel the fi re.
Important: For optimum heater performance at “low” burn rate, operate the fan at low speed.

An outside air kit is available from your Lexington Forge dealer.

Optional Blower: 70v 130 CFM Model: BLOTWS

• OPERATE THIS HEATER ONLY WITH THE DOOR CLOSED.

• DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.

• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.

CAUTION

THIS HEATER IS EXTREMELY HOT WHILE IN OPERATION.

SERIOUS BURNS CAN RESULT FROM CONTACT.

REMOVING THE STOVE FROM THE PALLET AND ATTACHING THE LEGS ON THE SSW30(F/S)TAL

Caution: Stove is extremely heavy. You will need help installing the legs and moving your stove to its fi nal
location.

Please note: The fi berboard baffl e is secured with two screws for shipping purposes only. These screws are
located behind the rear tube and may be removed prior to use, if so desired.

The legs are packed inside the stove with bolts for assembling legs to the stove. Useful note: If you misplace the bolts in the leg pack,
the bolts used to hold the shipping bracket to the stove can be used to hold the legs in place.

Tools required: 7/16" & 9/16" wrench or socket.

1) Remove the foam leg pack from inside your stove. The pack should contain 4 legs and 8 bolts.

2) To begin the leg installation remove the bolts from the hold down brackets from the pallet only. This is so you will be able to
move the stove to the edge of the pallet and install the legs one at a time. (9/16" wrench or socket.) Figure 1

3) Slide the stove so that a rear corner of the stove is extended past the edge of the pallet just enough to install rear leg. Figure

2

4) Remove both bolts from the rear leg location of the hold down bracket and one of the bolts from the front leg location of the
same hold down bracket. (7/16" wrench or socket.)

5) Swing hold down bracket out from stove just far enough to install rear leg. Figure 3

6) Use the bolts provided to install the rear leg. (7/16" wrench or socket.) . Figure 4

UNP ACKING AND ATTACHING LEGS

7) With rear leg installed, pivot the stove so that the hold down bracket is off the pallet. The stove should be resting the installed
leg on the fl oor, one support bracket on the pallet and the partially loosened support bracket hanging free. Have someone
steady the stove to avoid tipping.

8) Remove the remaining bolt from the hold down bracket and install front leg. Figures 5 & 6

9) Pivot the stove or twist the pallet so the rear corner of the remaining support bracket is extended over the pallet just far
enough to install the rear leg.

10) Remove both of the bolts from the top rear section of the hold down bracket and one of the bolts from the top front section of
the hold down bracket.

11) Pivot the hold down bracket out of the way just far enough to install the other rear leg.

12) Pivot the stove or slide the pallet so that the three installed legs are on the fl oor and the stove is completely off the pallet.

13) Remove the fi nal remaining bolt from the hold down bracket and install the fi nal leg.
