DATE PRINTED: 2/8/05 Revision Date: 02/01/05 PI-1010A Page 7

Definitions

BUILDING CODES AND PERMITS

Most areas require a permit from the city or county Building Inspector, Fire Marshal or Authority Having Jurisdic­tion. Check local building codes before beginning installation. After the installation is completed, it should be
checked by your local Fire Marshal or Building Inspector.

BYPASS

All catalytic wood burning stoves have a bypass device for allowing the smoke from the fire to temporarily by­pass, or go around, the catalyst. In Blaze King models, the bypass is located just behind the catalyst. The by­pass is a heavy steel plate, hinged inside the stove, and is controlled by the bypass handle on the right front of
the stove. When the handle is in the down position the bypass is closed, to open the bypass lift the handle up.

CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR

Warning: This wood heater contains a catalytic combustor, which needs periodic inspection and replacement for
proper operation. It is against the law to operate the wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instruc­tions of this manual, or if the catalytic element is deactivated or removed. DO NOT operate this insert without a
properly operating catalytic combustor.
The combustor is a ceramic honeycomb on which is coated a catalyst. The catalyst may be a combination of one
or more precious metals, including following: platinum, palladium, rhodium and cerium. The catalyst chemically
lowers the combustion temperature of the smoke from a wood fire, thereby allowing more smoke to burn, and
both increasing efficiency and lowering emissions. The catalyst is generally operational while the stove ther­mometer registers in the "Active" zone. If the thermometer does not stay in the Active zone, but falls into the
"Inactive" zone for most, of the burn cycle, the thermostat could be set too low or the catalyst may need cleaning
or replacement. The catalyst is located in the top of the firebox, just inside the door. See CATALYTIC COMBUS­TOR, TESTING, page 26.

COAL

DO NOT BURN COAL IN THIS STOVE. Evidence of coal burning automatically voids all warranties.

CHIMNEY

One or more passageways, vertical or nearly so, for sending flue gases (smoke) to the outside atmosphere.
Stoves must be vented ONLY to the outside, never to other rooms or buildings.
Special methods are required when passing through a wall or ceiling. See chimney manufacturers instructions
and local building codes.
Two types, of chimneys are acceptable for use with these stoves:

- A listed factory built fireplace/chimney suitable for use with solid fuels and conforming to, UL 127 or ULC S620.

- Masonry Chimney: A field-constructed, code-approved, chimney of solid masonry units, bricks, stones, listed
masonry chimney units or reinforced Portland cement concrete, with at least 5/8" fire clay lining joined with re­fractory cement or other listed lining system suitable for use with wood stoves. Before connecting to an existing
masonry chimney, have it inspected by a certified chimney sweep.

NEVER VENT THE STOVE INTO A CLASS "B" GAS VENT CHIMNEY. NEVER USE A CHIMNEY CONNEC­TOR OR CHIMNEY FLUE SMALLER THAN THE STOVE EXHAUST, UNLESS APPROVED BY YOUR LO­CAL INSPECTOR.

Avoid a home fire. Maintain the designated clearance distance to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the
chimney. There must be the designated air space clearance around the chimney. This air space around a chim­ney is necessary to allow natural heat removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause a heat buildup
which may ignite wood framing.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

Generally, the taller the chimney, the more dependable the draft. The chimney should be kept warm to enhance
the draft. This will also protect against creosote accumulation caused by condensation of water vapor and
smoke. A build-up of creosote can reduce the draft and will become a potential fire hazard. See CREOSOTE,
page 9. A chimney should extend at least three feet above a flat roof, or at least two feet above any part of the
roof within 10 feet. Chimney tops should NEVER be near trees or other tall objects that might cause down-drafts.

COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL

Material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, plastics, or other materials that will ig­nite and burn, whether flame proof or not, or whether plastered or un-plastered.

DATE PRINTED: 2/8/05 Revision Date: 02/01/05 PI-1010A Page 8

Definitions

COMBUSTION AIR INTAKE

Located on the front right of the stove. Combustion air is drawn into this opening, through the thermostat and
into the firebox. In tight contemporary homes, using outside combustion air may be desirable.

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.

PREVENT CREOSOTE FIRES: Inspect Chimney Connector and Chimney TWICE monthly and clean if neces­sary. If a chimney fire starts, close the loading door and turn the thermostat to the lowest setting. Call the fire de­partment immediately.
The basic design of this catalyst equipped stove will reduce creosote accumulation to a very low level. However,
the frequency of start-up operations and the temperature at which the stove is operated on a regular basis can
affect that accumulation. The inspection frequency noted above is still a vital step in the safe operation of any
wood burning system.

DOOR, LOADING

The door on the front of the stove, with viewing glass installed. This door must be closed and latched tightly
whenever the fire is burning. When cleaning the stove, wait 1/2 hour after the fire is out or until the stove is suffi­ciently cooled before opening the door.

DRAFT

This appliance may not operate properly if the draft is below .02” of water as measured using a water manome­ter. Draft below .02” will cause excessive smoke spillage, incomplete combustion and fire startup problems. Draft
ranging from .02" to .10" of water is suggested for normal operation. Low draft may sometimes be improved by
making a chimney taller. Exterior chimneys may be too cold to achieve proper draft with these units. If an exte­rior masonry chimney is being used it should be lined with a listed stainless steel liner. An external factory built
chimney should be enclosed in an insulated chase.

FAN

The fan circulates room air across the firebox and back into the home. The fan speed should be adjusted to
match the heat output of the stove.

FAN SPEED CONTROL

Located on the lower left this controls the fan speed. When stove is burning on low, set fan to low. When the
stove is burning on high, set fan to high. Adjust fan speed to match, as much as possible, the burn rate of the
stove.

FIREBOX, STOVE

Steel, lined with firebrick. The recommended length of log to be used in this firebox is 16" for PI1010A.

FLAME SHIELD

The flame shield is a stainless steel plate, punched with many 3/8" holes. If the flame shield is shipped in the
firebox or has fallen off during shipping then it must be installed before the first fire. Hold it in the firebox with the
triangular wings facing away. Lift it between the loading door and the catalyst, and rest the bottom of the plate on
the two holders that protrude below the catalyst. The flame shield should rest at an angle (about 45 degrees)
with its bottom near the combustor, and its top near the stove front. Do not operate the stove without the flame
shield in position.

FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS

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.

FLOOR PROTECTOR

Noncombustible surfacing applied to the floor area extending in front of the insert. Floor protector sizes are
shown on page 16.

DATE PRINTED: 2/8/05 Revision Date: 02/01/05 PI-1010A Page 9

Definitions

CAUTION

DO NOT USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL

LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR -'FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THIS

APPLIANCE. KEEP THESE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THIS APPLI-

ANCE WHILE IT IS IN USE.

FLUE

The general term for a passage through which flue gases (smoke) pass from the combustion chamber to the
outside air.

FUEL
THIS STOVE IS FOR USE WITH SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY.
Do not burn trash, paper, pine branches or artificial fire logs. Such abuse may void the warranty.

HEARTH

The bricked floor area within the fire chamber of a fireplace or fireplace stove. The bottom of the firebox. Build
the fire directly on the Hearth.

ICE - FORMATION AND PREVENTION

Most of what you see coming from the chimney of a properly operating catalytic stove is water vapor. In ex­tremely cold weather - and with some exterior chimneys - this vapor may freeze in the chimney, to the point of
actually blocking the chimney and extinguishing the fire. In such weather, occasionally burn the stove for 4 or 5
minutes with the bypass open and the thermostat set at maximum to melt any possible ice buildup.

DO NOT BURN THE STOVE WITH THE LOADING DOOR OPEN.
INSPECTIONS

The stove should be inspected periodically for missing or damaged firebricks, corroded metal or deterioration of
parts. If anything appears unsafe, contact your stove dealer for advice. Do not operate stove until the condition is
corrected. The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected at the beginning of each burning season
and twice monthly during the winter to determine if a creosote buildup had occurred. If creosote has accumu­lated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. See CREOSOTE, page 12.
Chimney caps occasionally will be plugged. See, Maintenance, page 27.

LISTED

Meeting Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc. standards and specifications when installed properly, and inspected.

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.

THERMOMETER

The probe of the Blaze King catalyst thermometer rests behind the catalyst. The thermometer gives an indication
of the temperature of the gasses after the catalyst. Due to the way it is made, the thermometer has a 4 - 8 min­ute lag time. The thermometer should be periodically cleaned. Lift it from the stove (be careful, it may be hot)
and wipe the probe clean. At room temperature (out of the stove) the thermometer indicator generally points to
the bottom of the "Inactive" zone. It may, over time, change slightly. Adjust it by loosening the bolt above the
dial, and turning the dial face. Be sure the bolt is retightened before placing back on stove. See THERMOME­TER, page 28.

THERMOSTAT

The thermostat, sometimes referred to as the Combustion Air Control, is mounted on the right side near the top.
It incorporates a bimetallic coil which responds to the naturally uneven cycles of the burning wood. This auto­matic compensation gives you even, comfortable heat. These Blaze King stoves burn cleanest when the thermo­stat is set and left unchanged. Frequent adjustments are unneeded and reduce efficiency and clean burn.

LEVELING SCREWS

On the underside of the unit at each corner there is a 3/8” nut welded. If required the installer can thread a 3/8”
NC bolt, of the determined length, into these nuts to assist in leveling the unit. The unit must sit level with or
slightly above the hearth and be firmly supported.
