Safety Rules

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.

Read these rules and the instructions carefully.

Check with local codes. The installation must

1.
comply with their rulings. Observe closely the
clearances to combustibles (page 4).

Do not install this heater in a mobile home or

2.
trailer.

Always connect this heater to a chimney and vent

3.
to the outside. Never vent to another room or
inside a building.

Do not connect a wood burning heater to a Type

4.
B gas vent. This is not safe and is prohibited by
the National Fire Protection Association Code.
This heater requires approved masonry or UL
Listed Residential Type and Building Heating
Appliance Chimney. Use a 6" diameter chimney,
or larger, that is high enough to give a good draft.

Be sure that your chimney is safely constructed

5.
and in good repair. Have the chimney inspected
by the Fire Department or a qualified inspector.
Your insurance company may be able to recom­mend a qualified inspector.

Inspect chimney connector and chimney twice

6.
monthly during the heating season for any de­posit of creosote or soot which must be removed
(see Chimney Maintenance, page 9).

Provide air for combustion from outside the house

7.
into the room where the heater is located. If the
intake is not in the same room, air must have free
access in to the room.

To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this

8.
heater who is unfamiliar with the correct opera­tion of the heater.

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. HS­10-1978. The address of the NFPA is
Batterymarch Park, MA 02269.

Disposal of Ashes - Place ashes 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 picked
up by a refuse collector.

CAUTION - The special paints used on your
heater may give off some smoke while they are
curing during the first few fires. Build small fires
at first.

CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS - This heater
has a painted jacket which is durable but it 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 acids or scouring
soap, as these wear and dull the finish. PAINT
DISCOLORATION WILL OCCUR IF THE
HEATER IS OVERFIRED. FOLLOW OPERAT­ING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

All persons, especially children, should be
alerted to hazards from high surface tempera­tures and kept away while in operation. Small
children should not be left unsupervised when
in the room with the heater.

Keep the area adjacent to the heater free from
all combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors.

CAUTION! Do not touch the heater until it has cooled.

NOTE:

FOR YOUR SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND INSTALLING SMOKE DETECTORS IN YOUR HOME IF NOT

ALREADY INSTALLED.

Installation

Place the heater on solid masonry or solid concrete. When
the heater is used on a combustible floor, use an Underwrit­ers Listed floor protector. The floor protector must comply
with UL Standards. The base should extend at least 16"
beyond the door side of the heater and should extend under
the flue pipe if it is elbowed towards a wall. (Fig. 5).

Uncrate and/or unpack the heater, removing all pack-

1.
ing material, being careful not to dispose of the Parts
Bag.
Open the front feed door and remove the parts from

2.
inside the stove. You should find the following: Hearth
Plate (1); Solid Damper (1); Lids (2); Pivoting Top (1);
Lid Support (1); Parts Package (1) containing nuts,
bolts, door handle, door latch and securing hardware;
Legs (4); Cast Iron Collar (1); Cast Iron Damper (1);
Baffle Assembly (1); Lid Lifter (1).
Place cardboard or other soft material adjacent to the

3.
stove and carefully turn the stove onto its top side
(bottom facing up).
Attach hearth plate to the front of the stove in its proper

4.
location.
Attach both rear and front legs to the stove. Tighten the

5.
nuts and bolts securely. The stove may now be
CAREFULLY turned over to stand on it's four legs.
Attach the baffle assembly and flue collar to the stove

6.
by inserting the baffle studs thru the two holes located
on the top of the rear of the stove; place the flue collar
over the studs and mount using the proper nuts and
washers. Place lid support and lid in position on
pivoting top. Place the slide damper in position on the
top of the hearth plate and under the feed door, and
secure with screw in slot.
After consulting the installation instructions for mini-

7.
mum clearances to combustibles, locate your floor
protector accordingly and carefully place the stove in
your selected location. Install stove pipe, elbows and
thimble as necessary, utilizing either a recently
cleaned and inspected masonry chimney (properly
lined) or a UL Listed chimney. Insure that the damper
provided is installed in the flue collar.
Again, check the following illustrations and be sure

8.
you have the clearances shown from the heater and
the connector pipe to combustible surfaces. If you
have a solid brick or stone wall behind your heater,
you may place your heater as close as you wish to the
wall. However, if the wall is only faced with brick or
stone, consider it a combustible wall.
If your chimney drafts excessively, purchase and use

9.
a Barometric Draft Regulator (DR6 available from
factory).
The chimney connection should be as short as pos-

10.
sible, and the heater must have its own flue. Do not
connect this unit to a chimney flue serving other
appliances.
Use three sheet metal screws in each stove pipe and

11.
or elbow joint to firmly hold the pipe together.
Do not install this heater in a mobile home or trailer.

12.
Check your local building and insurance codes. The

14.
installation must comply with their rulings.
