SMOKE WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED.

SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

Your Buck Stove is a non-catalytic unit designed to meet the most
stringent emissions standards without the use of a catalytic combustor. This effect is
achieved through the use of a secondary air which is mixed with primary air in
the unit's firebox. For peak performance we suggest the use of hard seasoned wood.

DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.

The primary air, which is controlled by the user, burns the wood. Secondary air is admitted into
the firebox through the secondary air tubes at the top of the firebox. This secon­dary air burns the impurities in the smoke released from the initial wood burning. The
temperature necessary for this combustion is maintained through the firebrick refractory. If
any more technical information is necessary contact your local dealer.

This heater is equipped with a standard room air blower. For operation and uses of these
electrical assemblies, see instructions provided in this manual on page 35.

MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION

The Model 18 may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with the
Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in
this type of installation is to determine the acceptability of the fireplace and chimney for use
with a woodstove. Both the construction and condition of the fireplace are important consid­erations when installing a woodstove. NOTE: It is not necessary to direct connect this

unit unless installed in improper drawing fireplace or oversized flue. The chimney
should extend at least 3' above the roof and at least 2' above any point of the roof
within 10'.

CAUTION

REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY INSPECTED FOR LEAKS AND BLOCKAGE
BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR STOVE.

1. The hearth must be of masonry construction and must extend a minimum of 16" in front of
the firebox opening and a minimum of 8" to either side of the firebox opening.

2. If there is not minimum hearth protection from the front of the firebox opening and the
front of the masonry hearth, a floor protector must be used in front of the hearth to
protect combustible materials. The floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness non­combustible material or equivalent.

With the floor protector or hearth extension material specified as one layer of 2" thick brick
with a K* factor of 5.0, you may use alternate materials as long as the K factor(s) is calculated
as follows:
FORMULA: Required thickness = (K of alternate material/K of millboard) x (thickness
of millboard)

EXAMPLE: An alternate inorganic non-combustible millboard with a K of .9375
would require a thickness as follows:
Required thickness = (.9375/5.0) x 2 in.
= 3/8 inch

K FACTORS OF ALTERNATE MATERIALS

Material K Required Thickness

Ceroform 126 .21 1/8"
Limestone 8.0 3.2"
Concrete 8.0 3.2"
Sandstone 13.0 5.2"
Marble 18.0 7.2"

A hearth extension or floor protector thickness above four (4) inches is generally not acceptable
due to cost, floor load capacity, and look. The alternate we recommend is using Ceroform No.
126 millboard 1/8" minimum and putting any type decorative brick or stone (any thickness) on
top of it.

*The “K” factor represents the thermal conductivity of a material and is the time rate of heat
flow through a homogeneous material under steady-state conditions, through unit area, per unit
temperature gradient in the direction perpendicular to a surface.

POSSIBLE TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION

7

If you decide to install your own stove, there are several hand tools you may need to do the
job. If you do not already have them, they are readily available at most hardware stores.

Caulking gun
Large adjustable wrench (may not be needed)
Drop Cloths
Vacuum cleaner or whisk broom
Flashlight
1 tube of RTV silicone, Code 103 or 106, or high temperature rubber cement rated between
450° F - 600º F
7/32" drill bit and drill
Socket/Ratchet Set
Insulation (provided in trim kit package)

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

FIREPLACE

1. Locate furniture and other materials away from the front of the fireplace to allow free
access to the fireplace.

2. Cover the hearth and adjacent floor areas with the drop cloth to protect from soiling or
marring the surface.

3. Remove the existing fireplace damper plate.

4. Thoroughly clean the fireplace of ashes and soot.

5. If the fireplace has an ash dump or outside air provision, these must be sealed off with
metal or tightly packed non-combustible insulation to prevent this cold air from entering
the fireplace chamber.

CAUTION

CHECK THE CHIMNEY AND SMOKE CHAMBER FOR EXCESSIVE BUILDUP OF
CREOSOTE OR SOOT. ALSO CHECK FOR OBSTRUCTIONS, SUCH AS BIRD'S
NESTS. IF THE CHIMNEY IS EXCESSIVELY DIRTY, CLEAN IT, OR HAVE
SOMEONE CLEAN IT PROFESSIONALLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE
ROOM HEATER.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE (Without Direct or Positive Connect Kit)

8

POSITIONING THE HEATER

When positioning the heater, the following
conditions MUST be met! (See Figure 2.)

1. The front of the damper opening must be
positioned BEHIND the rear edge of the lintel
to ensure proper draft. (See Figure 2.)

2. The vertical plane of the fireplace front must
fall BEHIND the side cold air vent on top of
the unit. (In other words, it is possible to have

FIGURE 2

FIGURE 3

the heater too far in as well as not far enough.)

3. Center the heater in the fireplace opening.

MOUNTING THE TRIM PANELS

After the unit is positioned, as shown in Figure 2,
mark the mounting position of the trim panels as
follows:

1. Set the top (long) trim panel in place on top of
the unit. The panel should be flat against the
outside face of the fireplace, and standing
vertically. Mark along the lower edge of the
trim panel with a pencil to make a reference
line for mounting.

2. Set the side trim panels in place behind and
against the intake covers, again, flat against the
face of the fireplace. Mark down the edge of
the trim panel to make a vertical reference line.

3. Slide the unit out of the fireplace far enough to work behind the trim panel reference lines.

4. Mount the side trim panels. (See Figure 3.)
a. Position the trim panel on the reference line.
b. Drill mounting holes in center of trim panels mounting brackets to allow for adjustment in and out if

necessary.

c. Mount the trim panel using the self-tapping screws provided.

5. Place top panel back on reference mark. Mount top trim panel by drilling mounting holes in center of trim
panel mounting brackets, with top end side of top panel overlapping side panel.

6. Using insulation provided, peel and stick to back of panels overlapping fireplace dimensions by 1" on each
side and top. (See Figure 3.)

7. Next using high heat silicone or furnace cement, run heavy bead of caulking around where panels meet the

9

stove. (See Figure 4.)

8. Using the brass trim provided with kit, place side brass trim (with straight edge down) over each outer edge
of side trim panel. Next place top brass trim over top trim panel. All 45º corners should match. If not, trim
to fit with a metal cutting blade.

9. Slide the unit back into the fireplace. Check to be sure that the trim panels (and brass) are properly positioned
and lie flat against the front of the fireplace. If panels are out of position, slide the unit out and reset by
loosening the mounting screws and repositioning in the slot. With bar, lift stove in front. Place insulation
across front and the surface of hearth or bottom of fireplace to make complete seal.

10. To check seal of panels, use candle flame and go around the entire area sealed by silicone and insulation. If
flame leans toward inside of fireplace, add additional insulation. This ensures an airtight seal.

WHEN USING DIRECT OR POSITIVE CONNECT KIT FOLLOW STEPS 1-4c.

5. Place top panel back on reference mark. Take top trim panel mounting bracket supplied with unit and position
bracket so it overlaps rear lip of top trim panel. Drill mounting holes in top of stove using holes in bracket as
guide. Tighten down screws.

6. Now, follow the installation procedures in the listed direct connect or positive connect kit you are using and
install the heater and connect kit in the fireplace.

7. Using the brass trim provided with kit, place side brass trim (with straight edge down) over each outer edge
of side trim panel. Next place top brass trim over top trim panel. All 45º corners should match. If not, trim
to fit with a metal cutting blade.

8. Slide the unit back into the fireplace. Check to be sure that the trim panels are properly positioned and lie flat
against the front of the fireplace. If one or more of the panels is out of position, slide the unit out and reset by
loosening the mounting screws and repositioning in the slot.

NOTE: If side and top panels gap due to unevenness of fireplace (normally on rock faced fireplaces) you will
need to drill a 5/32" hole through both side and top panels near where the panels intersect and install a #10 self­threading screw to eliminate the gap. Paint screws to match.

Figure 4

FINAL CHECK

10

1. Recheck the specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from the firebox area.

3. Open the primary air draft.

NOTE: Plug the power cord into a 115 VAC outlet. Route the cord to prevent damage to the
cord insulation from heat and sharp objects. Keep the cord out of the way of traffic to prevent
damage caused by tripping, etc.

4. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close the doors. Ensure
that the stove draws properly through the primary draft.

NOTE: “Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on hearth.”

5. Check for smoke leaks around the doors.

6. Open the doors and check for smoke escaping from the front of
the stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some
chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting newspaper and holding
it near the open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper
draft can usually be obtained.

If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the manual does not reveal
the problem, contact your dealer for assistance.

NOTE: The unit is painted with a specially formulated high temperature paint that cures
during the first two or three firings. You may notice a slight smoking effect and an odor
of burning paint when you build the first fires. This is normal and is not a cause for
alarm. In some cases, these fumes will activate a smoke alarm. Opening a window near
the unit will allow these fumes to escape. Do not build a large, roaring fire until this
curing is complete or the heater finish may be damaged.

The connector and/or chimney should be inspected at least once a month during the heating
season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.

CAUTION

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN
UP” A FIRE IN THE HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
THE STOVE WHEN IT IS IN USE. ALL FLUIDS OF THIS TYPE GIVE OFF
VOLATILE FUMES AND CAN AND WILL EXPLODE!! DON'T TAKE A CHANCE
WITH THE SAFETY OF YOUR HOME AND FAMILY.

steel to go from 6" inside diameter to exact diameter of the fireplace throat/chimney.
See Figure A.

2. Position the increaser into the throat/chimney of the Zero-Clearance Cabinet at a

height slightly higher than the Model 18 will be after installation. NOTE: The

increaser may be a two part slip connector type, if desired.

B. Ceramic Blanket

1. The second method is to use a 6" stainless steel connector (rigid or flex) and a

ceramic blanket (available from your dealer). See Figure B.

2. Cut the connector at least 18" long and tightly wrap the upper portion of the

connector with the ceramic blanket to almost the size of the fireplace throat/chimney.

3. Insert the connector into the fireplace throat/chimney and use additional ceramic

insulation and tightly pack around the connector and the throat/chimney at a height
slightly higher than the Model 18 will be after installation. NOTE: The increaser may

be a two part size connector type if desired.

PREPARING THE STOVE FOR INSTALLATION

1. Remove the protective plastic wrapping from the unit.

2. Inspect the unit for any obvious physical damage.

NOTE: Plug the power cord into a 115 VAC outlet. Route the cord to prevent damage to the
cord insulation, from heat and sharp objects. Keep the cord out of the way of traffic to prevent
damage caused by tripping, etc.

3. Check the primary air draft control to ensure that it slides freely.

4. Remove any items from within the firebox. Spread the dropcloth on the floor behind the
heater. Next, tilt the heater so that the back is on the drop cloth.

5. If leg kit is to be used follow steps 1-4. Then obtain legs, bolts, washer & nuts. Attach the
legs to holes in bottom of unit. Reposition the heater to the upright position.

6. If pedestal kit is being used follow steps 1-4. Open the corresponding freestanding kit and
obtain the stand. Place the stand against the bottom of the heater (angle side to heater) at
the marked line. Center the stand left and right and mark screw locations on
bottom through outer holes of stand mounting angles. Set stand aside and drill four 7/32"
holes in heater bottom. (See Figure 5.)

ALTERNATE FLOOR PROTECTORS MATERIAL

16

Floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.

With the floor protector or hearth extension material specified as one layer of 2" thick brick
with a K* factor of 5.0, you may use alternate materials as long as the K factor(s) is calculated
as follows:
FORMULA: Required thickness = (K of alternate material/K of millboard) x (thickness
of millboard)

EXAMPLE: An alternate inorganic non-combustible millboard with a K of .9375
would require a thickness as follows:
Required thickness = (.9375/5.0) x 2 in.
= 3/8 inch

Ceiling Exits:

These models are designed for connection to:

(1) Simpson Duravent - Dura Black
(2) Metal Fab
(3) Ameritec - BSR

NOTE: This room heater must be converted to (1) a chimney complying with the
requirements for Type HT chimneys in the Standard for chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential,
Type and Building Heating Appliance, UL 103, or (2) a code approved masonry chimney
with a flue liner. The chimney size should not be less than nor more than 3 times greater than
the cross-sectional area of the flue collar.

CAUTION

SPECIAL METHODS ARE REQUIRED WHEN PASSING THROUGH A
WALL OR CEILING. SEE INSTRUCTIONS AND BUILDING CODES.

DETERMINING THE CHIMNEY LOCATION

A. CEILING EXIT Using 6" Single Wall Pipe and UL 103 HT type chimney system listed
with manufacturer in this section of manual.

1. Suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling above the unit so that the weight is hanging in

the center of the flue exit. (A small weight on a string will serve as a plumb bob.)
Mark the ceiling where the string is suspended to locate the center of the chimney.

2. After locating the center of the hole, install the ceiling support box, chimney flashing

and rain cap per the chimney manufacturer's instructions.

3. Now connect the stove and ceiling support box using #24 ga. minimum blued or

black steel connector pipe (DO NOT USE GALVANIZED PIPE). Connect each
section so the crimped end faces downward, and secure each section to each other
using at least three (3) sheet metal screws or rivets. Also use three (3) sheet metal
screws to fasten pipe to collar on heater (See Figure 8) or you may use 3 “Ell” brackets
fastened to the top of the heater and fastened to the stove pipe.

Figure 6

19

CEILING SUPPORT BOX

SINGLE WALL PIPE

Figure 7

B. WALL EXIT INTO METAL TEE-BOX

1. Mark the plumb line on the wall directly behind the center of the heater. (See Figure 7.)

NOTE: When using 24# ga. minimum blue or black steel pipe, maintain 18" between pipe and
ceiling.

2. Place the vertical portion of the heater pipe and the elbow in position and project a point
onto the plumb line level with the center of the elbow.

3. Measure up so there will be at least 1/4" rise per foot of horizontal connector pipe,

20

maintaining clearances to the ceiling as noted in Figure 7. This will give you the center of
the hole for the chimney penetration.

4. After locating the center of the penetration, install the tee box and chimney as per the
chimney manufacturer's specifications.

5. Connect the chimney collar to the tee-box using #24 ga. minimum blued or black steel
connector pipe. DO NOT use galvanized pipe. Connect each section so the crimped end
faces downward, and secure each section to each other using three (3) sheet metal screws or
rivets.

C. WALL EXIT INTO MASONRY (USING SINGLE WALL PIPE)

1. Before connecting these units to a masonry chimney, determine that the masonry fireplace
wall pass-through connector thimble meets the NFPA-211 Code and local building codes
and is a minimum of 18" from the ceiling. If the connector thimble does not meet
these codes, the pass-through connector must be modified. (See Figure 8.)

Figure 8

Connectors may pass through walls or partitions constructed of combustible material if the

connector is:

(a) Either listed for wall pass-through or is routed through a device listed for wall pass-

through and is installed in accordance with the conditions of the listing.

(b) Selected or fabricated in accordance with the conditions and clearances as stated in

table 6-7.5 of the 2000 NFPA 211 Code. Any unexposed metal that is used as part of a wall
pass-through system and is exposed to flue gases shall be constructed of stainless steel or other

equivalent material that will resist corrosion, softening, or cracking from flue gases at

21

temperatures up to 1800º F.

NOTE: In addition, a connector to a masonry chimney shall extend through the wall to
the inner face or liner but not beyond, and shall be firmly cemented to masonry.

Exception: A thimble may be used to facilitate removal of the chimney connector for
cleaning, in which case the thimble shall be permanently cemented in place with high­temperature cement.

2. Once the through-the-wall thimble codes are met, simply connect the chimney collar to
the wall pass-through connector using #24 ga. minimum, blued or black steel conn­ector pipe as follows:

(a) Maintain 1/4" rise per foot (horizontal length) from the appliance to the chimney.

(b) Connect each section so the crimped end faces downward or back toward the unit.

(c) Secure each section to each other using at least three (3) sheet metal screws or rivets.

(d) Use three (3) sheet metal screws to fasten pipe to connector collar on heater.

D. CEILING EXIT - CLOSE CLEARANCE

1. Suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling above the unit so that the weight is hanging in the
center of the flue exit. (A small weight on a string will serve as a plumb bob.) Mark the
ceiling where the string is suspended to locate the center of the chimney hole.

2. After locating the center of the hole, install the ceiling support box, chimney flashing
and rain cap.

3. Next, install an optional New Buck Corporation chimney connector to the flue exit of the
heater or you may use “Ell” brackets to fasten the pipe to the stove. See Figure 9.

4. Install Single Wall Connector and chimney system per manufacturer’s written operating
instructions. See manufacturer's list of tested pipes in this manual.

FORMULA: Required thickness = (K of alternate material/K of millboard) x (thickness
of millboard)

EXAMPLE: An alternate inorganic non-combustible millboard with a K of .9375
would require a thickness as follows:
Required thickness = (.9375/5.0) x 2 in.
= 3/8 inch

K FACTORS OF ALTERNATE MATERIALS

Material K Required Thickness

Ceroform 126 .21 1/8"
Limestone 8.0 3.2"
Concrete 8.0 3.2"
Sandstone 13.0 5.2"
Marble 18.0 7.2"

A hearth extension or floor protector thickness above 4" is generally not acceptable due to cost,
floor load capacity, and look. The alternate we recommend is using Ceroform No. 126
millboard 1/8" minimum and putting any type decorative brick or stone (any thickness) on top
of it.

*The “K” factor represents the thermal conductivity of a material and is the time rate of heat
flow through a homogeneous material under steady-state conditions, through unit area, per unit
temperature gradient in the direction perpendicular to a surface.

For ceiling exit using close clearance listed chimney

1. Suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling above the unit so that the weight is hanging in the
center of the flue exit. (A small weight on a string will serve as a plumb bob.) Mark
the ceiling where the string is suspended to locate the center of the chimney hole.

2. After locating the center of the hole install the ceiling support box, chimney, flashing and
rain cap using listed chimney only. Only use pipe listed in this manual.

CAUTION

REFER TO CHIMNEY MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY
AND DISASSEMBLY OF CHIMNEY PARTS. BE SURE TO FOLLOW CHIMNEY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE AND PROPER
AIR SPACING REQUIRED.

3. Add additional pipe until both of the following are met:

(a) Chimney pipe is 3 feet higher than roof at the point where it penetrates the roof and

(b) Chimney pipe height is at least 2 feet higher than any part of the roof within 10 feet of

31

the chimney. (See Figure 12.)

4. Next, install a New Buck Corporation chimney connector to the flue of the heater or use 3
“ELL” brackets and secure to the top of the heater and pipe.

5. Using single wall chimney connector, connect the heater to the chimney by following
manufacturer's installation instructions exactly. (See Figure 13.)

FINAL CHECK

1. Recheck the specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from the firebox area.

3 . Open the primary air draft.

NOTE: Plug the power cord into a 115 VAC outlet. Route the cord to prevent damage to the
cord insulation from heat and sharp objects. Keep the cord out of the way of traffic to prevent
damage caused by tripping, etc.

32

4. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light it and close the doors. Ensure that
the stove draws properly through the primary draft.

5. Check for smoke leaks around the doors.

6. Open the doors and check for smoke escaping from the front of the stove. Smoking usually
indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft
can be preheated by lighting newspaper and holding it near the open damper with a poker or
fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.

If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the manual does not reveal
the problem, contact your dealer for assistance.

CAUTION

THE UNIT IS PAINTED WITH A SPECIALLY FORMULATED
HIGH TEMPERATURE PAINT THAT CURES DURING THE FIRST TWO OR
THREE FIRINGS. YOU MAY NOTICE A SLIGHT SMOKING EFFECT AND AN
ODOR OF BURNING PAINT WHEN YOU BUILD THE FIRST FIRES. THIS IS
NORMAL AND IS NOT A CAUSE FOR ALARM. IN SOME CASES, THESE FUMES
WILL ACTIVATE A SMOKE ALARM. OPENING A WINDOW NEAR THE UNIT
WILL ALLOW THESE FUMES TO ESCAPE. DO NOT BUILD A LARGE ROARING
FIRE UNTIL THIS CURING PROCESS IS COMPLETE OR THE HEATER FINISH
MAY BE DAMAGED.

SECTION VI

WOOD HEATER SAFETY

Certain safety hazards are inherent in any wood heater installation. You should be aware of
these so that a safe and proper installation can be made.

1. FAULTY CHIMNEY: An older masonry chimney should be thoroughly checked to be sure
there are no holes or weak spots which could allow sparks or hot gases to escape.

2. HEAT CONDUCTION: Placing combustible materials too close to a heater or chimney can
be a fire hazard.

By keeping these particular hazards in mind as you install and use your room heater you can
ensure a safe, reliable installation.

The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected once every two months. Any build-

33

up of soot should be removed to prevent the risk of a chimney fire. To remove chimney or
chimney connector: Remove screws or fasteners. Remove pipe and clean with steel brush.
Replace chimney or chimney connector, and replace screws and/or fasteners.

CAUTION

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN
UP" A FIRE IN THE HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
THE STOVE WHEN IT IS IN USE. ALL FLUIDS OF THIS TYPE GIVE OFF
VOLATILE FUMES AND CAN AND WILL EXPLODE!! DON'T TAKE A CHANCE
WITH THE SAFETY OF YOUR HOME AND FAMILY.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES: 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 cinders have thoroughly cooled.

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.

SECTION VII

OPERATION

This section of the manual is to help you get the maximum efficiency and maximum smoke
(particulate) reduction from your heater. If you should experience any difficulty or
have any questions concerning your heater, contact your dealer for assistance. The
manufacturer recommends for maximum performance burn seasoned hard wood.

Build a fire for maximum efficiency. This model burns wood and extracts heat so efficiently,
a large fire is not necessary. A large fire not only wastes energy, it usually results in the home
being too warm for comfort.

The following steps will serve as a guide for operating your stove.

BUILDING A FIRE

34

1. Open the door.

2. Open the primary air control located on right side of stove under hearth. To close push all
the way in. To open pull all the way out. Use air setting, located on primary air handle, for
low, low-medium, medium-high, and high.

3. Twist two pieces of non-colored newspaper into a roll and place them on the floor of the
firebox.

4. This model is not designed for the use of grates, andirons or other methods of supporting the
fuel.

5. Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of the newspaper.

6. Place three or four small pieces of firewood, 2-3" in diameter, on top of the kindling.

7. Light the newspaper in the front, close and latch the door. Don't leave the fire unattended at
this point. The draft system of the heater should start quickly. It may be necessary to
preheat the chimney to get the draft started. To do this, open the door and add newspaper to
the top rear of the wood. Light or let this paper ignite and allow to burn while holding the
door slightly cracked. Once the draft has started, close and lock the door. You are over­heating the unit if the chimney and or connector glows red.

8. After embers and a coal bed have been established, load the heater with wood.

NOTE: THE FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL DOORS MUST REMAIN CLOSED
DURING OPERATION.

9. Your unit does not have a damper. You must use the primary air lever for your control of
the fire. To open pull the lever out and to close push the lever in.

SECTION VIII

35

ROOM AIR BLOWER OPERATION

Your heater is equipped with a room air blower. For operation and wiring see below.

NOTE: Plug the power cord into a 115 VAC outlet. Route the cord to prevent damage to the
cord insulation from heat and sharp objects. Keep the cord out of the way of traffic to prevent
damage caused by tripping, etc.
