coal, oil, wood or natural and (L.P.) liquid petroleum gas. We highly recommend the
use of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home.

 Examine the masonry fireplace and chimney prior to installation of fireplace accessory to

determine that construction meets the minimum fireplace construction requirements
illustrated in instructions, that it is free from cracks, loose mortar, creosote deposits and
other blockage or other signs of deterioration.

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 94NC is a non-catalytic unit designed to meet the most stringent emissions
standards without use of a catalytic combustor. This effect is achieved through use of
secondary air which is mixed with primary air in unit’s firebox.

For peak performance, we suggest the use of natural seasoned hard wood, loading wood
length way from front to rear.

NOTE: Soft woods such as pine, create more creosote, clogging of chimney and produce a less
efficient burn performance.

You should not burn trash or garbage, artificial or paper logs, gift wrapping, treated or
painted wood or any type of coal or flammable fluids.

The primary air, which is controlled by user, burns the wood. Secondary air is admitted into
firebox through secondary air tubes at top of the firebox. This secondary air burns impurities
in smoke released from initial wood burning. The temperature necessary for this combustion
is maintained through 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 :
11,900
42,100 BTU/HR. on High

This unit is equipped with a standard room air blower.

SECTION II

MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION

The Model 94NC may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with
Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in
this type of installation is to determine acceptability of fireplace and chimney for use with
a woodstove. Both construction and condition of fireplace are important consid­erations when installing a woodstove. The chimney should extend at least 3' above roof and
at least 2' above any point of roof within 10'.

CAUTION

REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY INSPECTED FOR LEAKS AND BLOCKAGE
BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR STOVE. “DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.”

MINIMUM CLEARANCE MASONRY INSERT

MODEL 94NC

A. Side Wall Combustible
B. Front Floor Protector
C. Side Floor Protector
D. Side Wood Trim
E. Top Wood Trim
F. Mantel or Brackets

1. The hearth must be of masonry construction and must extend a minimum of 16" in front of
firebox opening and a minimum of 8" to either side of firebox opening.
Minimum floor protection under unit must have an R-value of 0.30.

2. If there is not minimum hearth protection from front of firebox opening and front of
masonry hearth, a floor protector must be used in front of hearth to protect combustible
materials. The floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness non-combustible material
or equivalent.(See Page 12,13).

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 drill
Socket/Ratchet Set

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

Fireplace:

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

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

3. Remove existing fireplace damper plate.

4. Thoroughly clean fireplace of ashes and soot.

5. Check chimney and smoke chamber for excessive buildup of creosote or soot. Also, check
for obstructions, such as bird’s nests. If chimney is excessively dirty, clean it or have
someone clean it professionally BEFORE installing or using room heater.

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