Chimney Connector Requirements
Chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to the factory-built chimney (see
Figure 5) or masonry chimney (see Figures 13, 14, and 15).
The chimney connector must be 6” diameter and a minimum 24 gauge black steel, 26 gauge blued
steel, or one of the reduced-clearance connectors listed on page 8.
NOTE: Aluminum or galvanized steel is not allowed – these materials can not withstand the flue temperatures and may give off toxic fumes when heated.
NOTE: Standard residential installations may use single-wall connector (Mobile-Homes may not).
The chimney connector may not pass through a ceiling, attic, roof, closet, or any other concealed
space (use listed UL 103 HT chimney – see “Chimney Requirements for details). DO NOT USE CONNECTOR PIPE AS CHIMNEY.
The chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible. No more than 180
90o elbows, or two 45o & one 90o elbow, etc.) may be used for the entire system (connector and chimney).. Horizontal runs should slope upwards 1/4” per foot and be a maximum 36” long.
The chimney connector must be installed with the crimped end pointing downwards (see Figure 4).
This prevents creosote from leaking to the exterior of the pipe.
On singlewall pipe the crimped end
o
of elbows (two
points downward.
The chimney connector must be fastened to the stove and each adjoining section (and chimney).

Safety Notice
If this appliance 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.
Read and follow all of the warnings on pages 4 and 5 of this manual.
Before Your First Fire
Verify the Installation
Before starting the stove, verify that the stove is properly installed and all of the requirements in this manual have been followed.
Keep all flammable materials 36" away from the front of the stove (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc.).
Curing the Paint
This heater uses a heat-activated paint that will emit some fumes while starting the first fire. Open doors and windows to the room to vent these fumes. This typically lasts two to four hours. You may also notice oil burning off of the interior of the heater. This rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate.
Door Gasket - The door gasket might adhere to the paint on the front of the heater. Leave the door slightly ajar for the first fire and be careful when opening
the door after the first fire.
2 to 4 hours
Over-Firing the Stove
This stove was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in vent configuration, fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If the stove top or other area starts to glow red, you are over-firing the stove. Shut the air control down to low and allow the stove to cool before proceeding.
Over-firing may lead to damage of plated surfaces. If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, we suggest placing a stove thermometer (e.g. Rutland® Model 710) directly over the door on the stove top ­temperatures exceeding 800° are generally considered over-firing and will void the warranty.

Starting a Fire
Since the dawn of time man has debated the best way to start a fire. Some use the boy-scout "tee-pee", some prefer the "tic-tac-toe" stack. Either way, review the hints and warnings below to ensure proper fire starting.
Make sure the air control and is pulled out. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4" during the
first five minutes of start-up.
Never 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 such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.
If using a firestarter, use only products specifically designed for stoves - follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of newspaper, place it in the center of the firebox and light it. This should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air blockage").
Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a proper temperature. Once the kindling is burning rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire.
Starting a “Top-Down Fire”
One particularly successful method for starting a fire is to stack several large pieces of wood in the center of the stove (see the illustration to the right). Then place a several wads of newspaper in the center with kindling on top. When you light the newspaper this “top-down” fire will burn its way to the center, igniting the larger pieces. With some practice, this method should work for you.

Adjusting the Burn Rate
Use the air control slider to control the burn rate of the stove. See the illustration below for details.
Use the air control to change the burn rate.
Low Burn
(air control closed)
High Burn
(air control open)
Approximate Air Control Settings
Overnight Burn Fully in to 1/8" open
Medium Burn 1/8" to 5/8" open
Medium High Burn 5/8" to fully open
High Burn Fully open (pulled out)
The air control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
The air control may take several minutes to influence the burn rate. When making adjustments, you may wish to let the stove burn for 10 minutes to gauge performance.
Ash Removal
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, away from all combustible
ASHES

1 Open the air control all the way (pull it out).
2 Open the door slightly. Let the airflow inside the firebox to stabilize before opening the doors fully.
3 Load wood onto the fire.
Overnight Burn
This stove is large enough to accommodate burn times up to ten hours. Follow the steps below to achieve an overnight burn.
1 Move the air control to high burn and let the stove become hot (burn for approximately 15 minutes).
2 Load as much wood as possible. Use large pieces if possible.
3 Let the stove burn on high for 15 minutes to keep the stove hot, then turn the air control to low.
4 In the morning the stove should still be hot, with embers in the coal bed. Stir the coals and load
small pieces of wood to re-ignite the fire, if desired.
Differences if chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.
Normal Operating Sounds
Creaks and Clicks: The 3/16" and 1/4" steel may creak or click when the stove heats up and cools down - this is normal.
Blower Sounds: The blower will make a slight "humm" as it pushes air through the stove.
Hint:
Make sure the leveling bolts on legs are extended ­preventing the hearth from amplifying any vibrations.

Hints for Burning
Get the appliance hot before adjusting to low burn
Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and high burns to increase temperature
Use larger pieces of wood for overnight or sustained burns
Stack the wood tightly together to establish a longer burn
Leave a bed of ashes (1/2" deep) to allow for longer burns
Be considerate of neighbors & the environment: burn dry wood only
Burn small, intense fires instead of large, slow burning fires when possible
Learn your appliance's operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance
Selecting Wood
Dry Wood is Key
Dry wood burns hot, emits less
smoke and creates less creosote.
Wet Wood

Testing Wood Moisture
Split wood stored in a dry area will
be fully dry within a year. This insures dry wood. If purchasing wood for immediate use, test the wood with a moisture meter. Some

Less Smoke and Creostoe
Why Dry Wood is Key
Wet wood, when burned, must release water stored within the wood. This cools the fire, creates creosote, and hampers a complete burn. Ask any experienced wood burner and he or she will agree: dry wood is crucial to good performance.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause
Smoke Enters Room During Start-Up
Kindling Does Not Start - Fire Smolders
Smoke Enters Room While Re­Loading
Stove Does Not Burn Hot Enough
Open the air control (pg. 21).
Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper to
establish a draft.
If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack in
the door is all that is needed.
Open the air control (pg. 21).
Not enough starter paper - use additional newspaper if
necessary.
If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack in
the door is all that is needed.
Open the air control before opening the door (pg. 21).
Let the air stabilize before fully opening the door. Then
open the door approximately 1 inch. Let air go into the firebox for a few seconds. Once the smoke appears to be flowing up the chimney consistently, open the door.
Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside
conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases a small amount of smoke may enter the home. Adding more pipe or a draft-inducing cap may help.
Wood is Wet - see the section "Selecting Wood" on
page 23 for details on wood.
Make sure the air control is all the way open. Slide the
control back and forth to insure the control is not stuck.
Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside
conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases the fire may burn slowly. Adding more pipe or a draft­inducing cap may help.
Blower Does Not Run
Stove Does Not Burn Long Enough
Stove is Not Up to Temperature - This is normal. The
blower will come on when the stove is hot - usually 15 to 30 minutes.
Electricity is Cut to the Blower - Check the household
breaker or fuse to make sure it is operable.
Depending upon wood, draft, and other factors, the
burn time may be shorter then stated. Make sure the doors are sealing and not allowing air into the firebox ­See the section "Door and Glass Inspection" on page 26 for details.
Check the ash bed for coals. Often, coals are still
glowing under a slight bed of flyash. By raking these into a pile you can re-start your stove quickly.

Maintaining Your Appliance 25
Failure to properly maintain and inspect your appliance may reduce the performance and life of the appliance, void your warranty, and create a fire hazard.
Daily Maintenance (while stove is in use)
Remove Ash (if necessary)
Ash removal is not required once it builds up. 1/2" to 1" of ash may be desirable because it slows the
burn rate. Generally, remove ash once it has built up over 1". Follow the directions below to remove ash.
1 Let the stove cool completely (at least two hours after the last coal has extinguished).
2 Place a cloth or cardboard protector over the hearth to catch ash and protect against
scratching.
3 Open the doors and scoop the ash into a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
Improperly disposed ashes lead to fires. Hot ashes placed in cardboard boxes, dumped in back yards, or stored in garages, are recipes for disaster.
Wood-burning stoves are inherently dirty. During cleaning have a vacuum ready to catch spilled ash (make sure ash is entirely extinguished).
There are vacuum cleaners specifically made to remove ash (even if the ash is warm). Contact your dealer for details.
ASHES
Clean the Glass (if necessary)
This appliance has an airwash to keep the glass clean. However, burning un-seasoned wood or burning on lower burn rates leads to dirtier glass (especially on the sides). Clean the glass by following the directions below.
Allow the stove to fully cool. Apply glass cleaner or soapy water to the inside of the glass. Wipe with newspaper or a paper towel.
For Stubborn Creosote:
Dip newspaper or a paper towel in cool ashes and wipe it on the glass. The ash acts as a light abrasive.
The glass will develop a very slight haze over time. This is normal and will not affect viewing of the fire.

26 Maintaining Your Appliance
Monthly Maintenance (while appliance is in use)
Make sure the appliance has fully cooled prior to conducting service.
Door and Glass Inspection
The door must form an air-tight seal to the firebox for the stove to work correctly. Inspect the door gasket to make sure it forms an air-tight seal to the firebox.
The door can be lifted off the hinges if extensive repairs are conducted.
High-Temperature anti-sieze may be used on the door hinges to eliminate squeaks.
Use wood stove gasket cement to re-adhere loose gasket.
If the glass is damaged, replace it - see Replacement Parts for details.
Severely frayed or thread-bare gasket should be replaced.
The door latch should pull the door against the face of the stove (but not so tight as to not allow full handle rotation). If the latch requires adjustment, follow the directions below.
Door Frame (with gasket)
Cam
Nut
9/16" Wrench
Door Cam Adjustment:
To tighten the door cam, remove the door handle and discard one of the washers betwen the door frame and cam. To loosen the door cam, add a washer between the door frame and cam.
Washers
Door Handle
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 slow­burning 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 buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
If you are not certain of creosote inspection, contact your dealer or local chimney sweep for a full inspection. Excess creosote buildup may cause a chimney fire, that may result in property damage, injury, or death.

Yearly Maintenance
Make sure the appliance has fully cooled prior to conducting service.
Touch Up Paint
Included with the owner's pack of this appliance is a can of Stove-Brite® paint. To touch up nicks or dulled paint, apply the paint while the appliance is cool. Sand rusted or damaged areas before preparation (use 120 grit sandpaper). Clean and dry the area to prepare the surface. Wait at least one hour before starting the appliance. The touched up area will appear darker than the surrounding paint until it cures from heat. Curing will give off some fumes while curing – open windows to ventilate.
Cleaning the Air Duct and Blower (if applicable)
Use a vacuum to clean the air ducts (channels). This prevents dust from burning and creating odors.
The optional blower should be vacuumed every year to remove any buildup of dust, lint, etc.

BOTTOM OF
STOVE
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any buildup on the screens of the blower.
Firebrick and Baffle Inspection
Use the illustration on page 29 as a reference for checking the following items. Make sure the appliance is cool before proceeding.
Baffle Firebricks - check the bricks along the ceiling of the firebox to make sure they are intact and have no gaps between them. Slide the bricks to eliminate any gaps.
Baffle Supports - make sure the front and back baffle supports in are place and not degraded. Slight scaling or rusting of the metal is normal.
Secondary Air Tubes - Check the two air tubes and collars to make sure they are intact and not severely deteriorated. Slight scaling or rusting of the metal is normal. Make sure the push pins hold the air tubes
in place.
Floor and Wall Firebricks - replace any severely damaged firebrick along the side or floor of the firebox.

Replacing the Glass
The glass must not contact the door or glass clips directly. The glass gasket and glass clip gaskets insulate the glass to prevent cracking. Do not over-tighten the glass clips.
Place the door front side down. Insert the glass gasket into the groove along the inside perimeter of the door. Place the glass on top of the gasket and secure with the glass clips.
Replacing the Door Gasket
The door gasket inserts into the outer groove of the door and is secured with RTV high-temperature 600° silicone. Before installing, remove any residual silicone. Lay the gasket in place (start at the lower left corner) and cut off any excess gasket (do not stretch the gasket. The cement fully cures with heat from the stove. You may need to open and close the door repeatedly to get the gasket to seat fully.
Replacing the Door Handle
See the illustration above for a component list (see pg. 26 for details on adjusting the door).
