RULES FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Read these rules and the instructions carefully. SAFETY NOTICE: If this heater is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For

your safety, follow the installation directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.

Check local codes. The installation must comply with their rulings. Do not install this heater in a mobile home or trailer.

2. Always connect this heater to a chimney or vent to the outside. Never vent to another room or inside a building.

3. Do not connect a WOOD burning heater to an aluminum Type B gas vent. This is not safe and is prohibited by all codes. This

heater requires connection to approved chimneys: Either a factory built 6" UL 103HT or a lined and approved and recently in spected and cleaned masonry chimney with a 6" flue, preferably round. A larger masonry flue may be used, so long as the flue-section diameter is not greater than 50 sq. in. The chimney portion (whether factory-built

NOTE:

DURING OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE FEED AND ASH DOORS

OF THIS HEATER, IT MAY SEEM THAT THE FIT OF THE DOOR IS

"TOO TIGHT". AS THE HEATER IS FIRED, THE GASKETING

"SETTLES" OR "SEATS" ITSELF IN THE DOOR. THE TIGHT FIT AT

THE FACTORY AND BEFORE THE HEATER'S INITIAL FIRING IS TO

INSURE A GOOD SEAL AFTER THE GASKETING "SETTLES".

NOTE: FOR YOUR SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND INSTALLING SMOKE DETECTORS IN YOUR HOME IF NOT ALREADY INSTALLED.

SAFETY NOTICE

In the unlikely event that your 2941 "overfires" (a condition evidenced by elbows, stovepipes, and connectors glowing red in appearance or otherwise discoloring), then your installation is subject to excessive draft created by either a chimney too tall or too great in diameter in conjunction with its height, or some other factor of an indeterminate cause. In this event, you should install a barometric draft regulator. Such installation will preclude any overfiring and/or any hazardous consequences of potential overfiring.

Barometric draft regulators are generally available where you purchased your stove or may be ordered directly from United States Stove Company at a nominal charge.

or masonry) must be tall enough to provide sufficient draft and safe exit of smoke and combustion products. Please refer to Page

4. Be sure that your Chimney is safely con structed and in good repair. Have the chim ney inspected by the Fire Department or a qualified inspector (such as a Chimney sweep). Your insurance company may be able to recommend a qualified inspector.

5. Inspect chimney connector and chimney twice monthly during the heating season for any deposit of creosote or soot which must be removed.

6. Provide air for combustion from outside the house into the room where the heater is located. If the intake is not in the same room, air must have free access to the room.

7. CAST IRON PARTS MUST BE "SEA SONED" TO AVOID CRACKING. BUILD ONLY SMALL FIRES ON FIRST USE.

8. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this heater who is unfamiliar with the correct operation of the heater. Do not allow children to use or in any way operate this heater.

9. For further information on using your heater safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) publication "Using Coal and Wood Stoves Safely" NFPA No. HS-10-1978. The address of the NFPA is Battery March Park, Quincy, MA. 02269.

10.

Keep the ash pit section free of excess ashes. Do not allow ashes to stack higher than the sides of the ash pan.*

CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATER UNTIL IT HAS COOLED. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN

REFUELING THIS UNIT OR WORKING

WITH METAL CABINET PARTS.

11.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES- Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Keep the closed container on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials. Keep the ashes in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. The ashes may be buried in the ground or used as fertilizer.

12.CAUTION: The special paints used on your heater may give off some smoke while they are curing during first few fires. Build small fires at first. The metal used in construction of the heater has a light coating of oil. This could give off smoke and/or odors when heater is used for the first couple of times. This should disappear after a short period. Once this burn-off has occurred, it should not reoccur.

13.CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS- This heater has a painted outside jacket, which is durable but will not stand rough handling or abuse. When installing your heater, use care in handling. Clean with soap and warm water when heater is not hot. DO NOT use any harsh chemicals (acids or caustics) or scouring powder, as these wear and dull the finish.

14.KEEP THE FEED DOOR, ASH DOOR AND CABINET DOOR CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHILE TENDING THE HEATER. DO NOT OVERFIRE THE HEATER. THIS WILL HAPPEN IF THE FEED DOOR, OR PARTICULARLY THE ASH DOOR, IS LEFT OPEN DURING OPERATION. UNDER EX TREME CONDITIONS THIS CAN PRO DUCE DANGEROUS RESULTS. AT A MINIMUM, IT WILL ALLOW THE PAINT TO DISCOLOR.

* Never allow ashes to contact the grate(s).

MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE WALLS AND CEILINGS

Minimum clearances to unprotected combustible walls and ceilings as noted by figures 2 through 4 must be maintained. Drapes, curtains, furniture and other combustible materials should be kept much further away from the heater to avoid fire. If you choose to, you may install the heater and chimney connector closer to combustible surfaces than indicated by Figures 2 through 4 IF a clearance reduction system is also installed to protect combustible ceilings and walls near the heater and chimney connector. However, there are limits to how close the heater and chimney connector can be installed to combustible surfaces protected by a clearance reduction system. A correctly installed clearance reduction system protects the combustible surfaces well beyond the sides and above the top of the heater and beyond the sides and top of the chimney connector pipe. Two common types of clearance reduction systems use sheet metal with a minimum thickness of 28 gauge (galvanized steel, aluminum, copper) or a 3-1/2 inch (4 inch nominal) thick masonry wall. Either of these materials must be spaced out 1 inch from the combustible surfaces. With sheet metal, non-combustible spacers are used to maintain the 1 inch air space. With a masonry wall, metal wall ties and furring strips, if needed are used to anchor the brick to the wall. To avoid excessive heat transmission, the spacers or wall ties should not be placed directly behind the
