5.Do not install a flue damper in the exhaust venting system of this unit.
6.Do not connect the stove to a chimney flue already serving another appliance.
7.Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or freshen up a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
8.The stove operates with a negative pressure firebox and a positive pressure exhaust. It is imperative that the chimney system be airtight and installed correctly.

CHIMNEY AND EXHAUST CONNECTION
1.Chimney & Connector: Use 3" (76mm) or 4" (102mm) diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system.
2.Mobile Home: Approved for all listed pellet vent. If using the 3" (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit (part #811-0860), or the 3" (76mm) to 6" (152mm) Offset Collar (part #812-3570), use listed double wall flue connector. An Outside Air Kit (part #811-0871), must be used with manufactured home installation.
3.Residential: The 3" (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit (#811-0860), and 3" (76mm) to 6" (152mm) Offset Collar (part #812-3570), are tested to use 24 gauge single wall flue connector or listed double wall flue connector to Class A listed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting ICBO standards for solid fuel appliances.
4.The stove is approved for all 3" (76mm) or 4" (102mm) diameter listed pellet vent. It can be either vertically or horizontally vented.
5.Install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer.
6.Be sure to secure exhaust venting system to the stove with at least three set screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with at least three screws through each joint.
NOTE: All pipe must be sealed using welded seam pipe whenever possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone (500°F [260°C] minimum rated only).
VENT TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS
1.Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
2.Vent surfaces can get hot enough to cause burns if touched. Noncombustible shielding or guards may be required.
3.Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least 5' (1.5m) of vertical pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly through a wall. This will create a natural draft, which will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor venting into the home during appliance shutdown. It will also keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. The safest and preferred venting method is to extend the vent vertically through the roof.
4.Venting should terminate not less than 4' (1.2m) below, not less than 4' (1.2m) horizontally from, and not less than 1' (305mm) above doors and windows, or gravity or ventilation air inlets into the building.
5.Distance between bottom of termination and grade should be 1' (305mm) minimum. This is conditional upon plants in the area, and nature of grade surface. The grade surface must be a noncombustible material (i.e., rock, dirt). Distance between bottom of termination and public walkway should be 7' (2.1m) minimum.
6.Distance to combustible materials should be 2' (51mm) minimum. This includes adjacent buildings, fences,

FEED ADJUSTMENT
NOTES:
The feed adjustment rod is factory set, and should be adequate for most fuels. However, if the flame height is too high or too low, follow the instructions below.
Loosen the set screw (Fig. 1) 1/4 to 1/2 turn during set-up of stove. This will allow movement of the Fuel Adjustment Rod. Do not re-tighten set screw.
Adjust fuel adjustment rod after the stove has been burning for 10-15 minutes. The flames should be approximately 4"(102mm) above the firepot at high heat output setting.
Cleanout Cover
1)Loosen the wing nut.
2)Adjust the fuel adjustment rod upward towards the "+" symbol, to increase the feed rate and flame height, or down towards the "-" symbol, to decrease the feed rate and flame height.
3)Re-tighten the wing nut.
