CAUTION

“DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.” DO NOT USE A FLUE INTENDED FOR A GAS APPLIANCE.”DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.”

CAUTION

YOUR CHIMNEY OR FLUE MUST BE CORRECTLY SIZED. A CHIMNEY OR FLUE THAT IS TOO SMALL OR LARGE IN DIAMETER, OR TOO SHORT, CAN CAUSE YOUR STOVE TO SPILL SMOKE WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED.

SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

Your new MODEL 261 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 secondary air which is mixed with primary air in the unit’s firebox. For peak performance,

we suggest the use of hard seasoned natural wood, loading wood length way from front to rear. You should not burn trash or garbage, artificial or paper logs, gift wrapping, treated or painted wood or any type of coal.

“DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.” “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.

Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from approximately 11,800 to 40,900 BTU/HR.

These unit may also be used with optional room air blower. To order optional motor assembly you must specify the stove model number and give the following part number:

*Model 26-261 Motor Assembly—MA 5126715

For operation and use of this electrical assembly, see instructions provided with the motor assembly kit.

POSSIBLE TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION

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 or newspapers Vacuum cleaner or whisk broom Flashlight 1 tube of RTV silicone, Code 103 or 106, or high temperature rubber cement rated between 450o F- 600o F 7/32” drill bit and electric drill Socket/Ratchet Set Wrench Electric Sawzall

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

1. Locate furniture and other materials away from the area stove will be to allow free access .

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

3. If using an existing flue clean it of ashes and soot.

4. Check the flue for excessive build up of creosote or soot. Also, check for obstructions, such as bird’s nests. If the flue is excessively dirty, clean it, or have someone clean it professionally BEFORE installing or using the room heater.

5. If the flue is not used , seal off with metal or tightly packed non-combustible insulation .

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 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.

SECTION II

RESIDENTIAL FREESTANDING

VERTICAL EXIT INSTALLATION

For optional vertical exit installation locations refer back to

table of contents Section II

MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO FLOOR AND COMBUSTIBLES

See minimum floor protector measurements ,and also for minimum clearances to combustibles, See Pages, and Figures below A. Vertical Exit Single Wall Pipe( Page9, Figure3 ) B. Vertical Exit DVL ( Page11, Figure5 ) C. Vertical Wall Exit ,Single Wall Pipe, Elbow,103 HT Chimney and T-BOX(Page13, Figure7) D. Vertical Wall Exit , DVL Pipe, Elbow,103 HT Chimney and T-BOX( Page15, Figure9 ) E. Vertical Exit to Masonry Flue Single Wall Pipe and Elbow( Page17, Figure11) F. Vertical Exit to Masonry Flue DVL Pipe and Elbow( Page19, Figure13 )

Floor Protection:

When installing freestanding heater ,a floor protector must be use. Floor protection must be 3/8” minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent .R=0.06

How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness.

An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements listed in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure:

1. Convert specification to R-value:

R-value is given—no conversion is needed. K– factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: C-factor is given: R=1/C

2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.

Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R” For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value.

3. If the overall R-value of the system is grater than the R-value of the specified floor

protector, the alternate is acceptable.

Example: The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material with a K-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a K-factor of 0.29.

Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value. R= 1/K x T = 1/0.84 x .75 =

0.893

Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system. 4” brick of C=1.25, therefore Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 =0.80 1/8” mineral board of K = 0.29, therefore Rmin.bd. =1/029 x0.125 = 0.431

Step (c): Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed system R is greater than required , the system is acceptable. Definitions: Thermal conductance = C = Btu = W (hr)(ft²)(°F) (m²)(°K)

Thermal conductance = K = (Btu)(inch) = W = (Btu) (hr)(ft²)(°f) (m)(°K) (hr)(tf)(°F)

Thermal conductance = R = (ft²)(hr)(°F) = (m²)(°K) Btu W

Select an installation location that will give the best airflow from the front of the heater to the remainder of the home.

PREPARING THE STOVE FOR INSTALLATION

1. Inspect the unit for any obvious physical damage.

2. Plug the power cord into a 115V AC outlet to test the motor and fan when optional motor is being used. “Do not run power cord under unit or in high traffic areas”.

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

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

5. Then obtain four legs, attach the legs to holes in bottom of unit with bolts and washers

supplied with the leg kit. (See Figure 1).

Figure 1.

6. Reposition the heater to the upright position.

7. Next fasten New Buck’s Cast Collar part number MA6CHIMCNB to the flue exit of stove to

be used, using the J hook’s provided. Position collar with gasket towards the unit, tighten the J hook’s Firmly . (See Figure 2).

8. Fasten New Buck’s Flue Collar Plate to the exit not used for burning stove. Firmly secure the

Flue Collar Plate Bracket with the nut and washer provided .(See Figure 2).
