WARNINGS
• Hot! Do not touch! The glass and surfaces of this appliance will
be hot during operation and will retain heat for a while after
shutting off the appliance. Severe burns may result.
• Carefully supervise children in the same room as appliance.
General Safety Precautions
1. If this solid-fuel room heater is not properly installed, a house
fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation directions. 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 buildup.
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. Do not use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up”
a fire in this stove. Keep all flammable liquids and combustible
materials 36” from any point of the stove when it is in use.
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
If the stove glows, you are overfiring.
fire.
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 require
ments 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 1/4” thick should be removed by 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 operate with a grate or with an elevated fire. Always
build the fire on the surface of the firebrick.
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-B365M93, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and
Equipment.
19. Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, WHICH
MAY LEAD TO DEATH!
21. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning – Early signs of carbon monox-
ide 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.

Testing Information
Selecting the Proper Venting System
This manual describes the installation and operation of the
Striker™ S160 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, Beaverton, OR. It has been approved for
residential, mobile home and alcove installations.
Draft Requirements
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 Country™ Collection stove 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 Guidelines).
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.
Overfiring Damage - If the heater or chimney connector glows,
you are overfiring. Other symptoms may include: Cracking,
warping or burning out of components, plated doors may turn
color, stove glass may develop a haze, which will not come off
with cleaning.
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 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 constructed 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.
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 8).
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 18.

Negative Pressure Warning
This appliance is not designed to be operated in a negative pressure. Very airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust fans, or
homes with furnace cold air returns located in close proximity
to the wood stove or fireplace insert may create 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-Fuel-Burning 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 every
two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote
build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Ash Disposal
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. 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.
Fuel
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.
Burn-In Period
If your stove has a Gold or Nickel-Plated Door, 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 dur-
ing 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.
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).
Paint Curing
Your new Striker™ S160 wood stove 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.
70K99), available from all Lennox Hearth Products dealers.
