SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read All Instructions carefully.
1.The installation of this stove must comply with your local building code rulings. Please observe the clearances to combustibles (see reference figures 7–9). Do not place fuel, furniture or any other objects within the clearance area.
2.Verify that the stove is properly installed before firing the stove for the first time. After reading these instructions, if you have any doubt about your ability to complete your installation properly, you must obtain the services of a professional licensed installer familiar with all aspects of safe and correct installation. DO NOT use temporary or makeshift compromises during installation. There must be NO DEVIATION OR ALTERATION OF ANY KIND from the very specific instructions spelled out in this instruction manual as it pertains to the installation of this woodstove. NO EXCEPTIONS!
3.DO NOT store wood, kindling, flammable liquids or other combustible materials in the vicinity of the appliance. Refer to certification label on back of unit and reference figures 7–9 in this manual.
4.DO NOT INSTALL THIS STOVE IN A MOBILE HOME, MANUFACTURED HOME, TRAILER OR TENT NO EXCEPTIONS! (HUD Federal Standard: 24 CFR Ch.XX).
5.DO NOT ELEVATETHIS STOVE BY ANY MEANS.
(i.e. bricks under legs, cement blocks) Stove legs must set directly upon the solid-surface non-com- bustible floor as specified in this stove instruction manual.
6.DO NOT MODIFY THIS STOVE IN ANY WAY!
Stove must be installed with legs attached as shown in the instructions. Assemble only with original parts as supplied and shown in this manual. DO NOT OP-
ERATE A STOVETHAT IS MISSING ANY PARTS!
If any parts are missing or defective, please notify the dealer or manufacturer immediately. Replace missing, broken or worn parts with factory original or equivalent parts only.
7.Do not tamper with combustion air control beyond normal adjustment capacities.
8.Always connect this stove to a chimney and vent to the outside. Never vent to another room or inside a building. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT
TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
9.DO NOT CONNECT A WOOD BURNING STOVE TO AN ALUMINUM TYPE B GAS VENT. This is not safe. Use approved masonry or an Underwrit-
ers Laboratories Listed UL 103HT / ULC-S629 Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance Chimney. Use a 6˝/152mm diameter chimney, that is high enough to give a good draft. (See specifics in Chimney Connections instructions).
10.Be sure that your chimney is safely constructed and in good repair. Have the chimney inspected by the fire department or a qualified inspector.Your insurance company should be able to recommend a qualified inspector. Chimney connector pipe must be in good condition. Replace if necessary before using stove.
11.Creosote or soot may build up in the chimney connector and chimney and cause a house/building fire. Inspect the chimney connector and chimney twice monthly during the heating season and clean if necessary. (see Service Hints).
12.In the event of a chimney fire, turn the air control and flue damper to closed positions, leave the building and CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY! Have a clearly understood plan on how to handle a chimney fire by contacting your local fire authority for information on proper procedures in the event of a chimney fire. After the fire is out, the chimney must be cleaned and inspected for any stress or cracks before starting another fire. Check the condition of any combustibles surrounding the chimney.
13.Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate above the top of the hearth plate.
14.DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a steel container with a tight fitting lid and moved outdoors immediately. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have completely cooled. Other waste shall not be placed in this container.
15.To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this stove who is unfamiliar with the correct operation of the stove.
16.Do not operate stove while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
17.The special paints used on your stove may give off some smoke and an odor while they are curing during the first 12 to 15 fires. Additional smoke and odor may be emitted from the light oils used in construction of the fire box. This should disappear

after a short period of time and not occur again. Persons with lung conditions or owners of susceptible domestic pets (such as birds) should take prudent precautions. Open windows and doors as needed to clear smoke and/or odor. Paint discoloration will occur if the stove is over fired.
18.This stove has a painted surface which is durable but it will not stand rough handling or abuse. When installing your stove, use care in handling.
19.Clean exterior with soap and warm water when stove is not hot. Do not use any acids or scouring soap, as these solvents wear and dull the finish.
20.CLEAN STOVE FREQUENTLY as soot, creosote and ash may accumulate.
21.ALERT ALL PERSONS TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURES while stove is in operation – especially young children. Keep away from a hot stove to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
22.NEVER LEAVE SMALL CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE STOVE. If small children will be in the same room as the stove during operation, provide a sturdy barrier to keep them at a safe distance from the stove.
23.Keep stove area clear and free from all combustible materials, gasoline, engine oil, naphtha and other flammable vapors and liquids.
24.WHILE TENDING THE FIRE ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, fire retardant hearth gloves and eye protection, to prevent burns.
25.Never operate this stove with the door open except when re-fueling. Such actions can result in very dangerous operating conditions.
26.DO NOT OVER FIRE THE STOVE. Over firing will occur if combustion air is uncontrolled as when feed door is left open during operation. Such actions can result in very dangerous operating conditions. While in operation, keep the feed door closed and secured at all times except while tending the fire
27.Do not load the fuel to a height or in such manner that it would be hazardous when opening the door.
28.NEVER LEAVETHE STOVE UNATTENDED when the door is open. Always close the door after ignition.
29.DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT WORK UNLESS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR SUCH INSTALLATIONS.
30.A WOOD-BURNING STOVE MUST NEVER BE INSTALLED IN A HALLWAY OR NEAR A STAIR-
CASE, as it may block egress in the event of a fire.
31.DO NOT INSTALL IN AN ALCOVE OR INSIDE A FIREPLACE.
32.Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home. Detectors should be located away from the heating appliance to avoid false alarms. Detectors should be located close to sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detectors manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions. Maintain smoke detector per manufacturer’s instructions.
33.CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) HAZARD. A buildup of CO fumes is toxic and can be fatal. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced during combustion of wood, coal, oil, gas and by other fuel burning appliances. It is important to have a proper draft and adequate replacement air ventilation so fumes are drawn out the chimney. Installed as instructed this stove is designed to be as safe as possible yet it is recommended to install a CO detector. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for proper installation and use. It is recommended to be placed at table-top level (not near the ceiling) to avoid false alarms. Realize that devices other than a stove (i.e. motor exhaust) can trigger CO alarms.
If alarm sounds:
•Recognize the symptoms of CO poisoning (headaches, nausea & drowsiness).
•Increase ventilation (open windows & doors).
•Make sure stove doors and/or lids are closed and secured.
•Check stove for smoking or puffing (open airflow controls).
•Check chimney & connector pipe for leaks, blockage or down-draft conditions.
•Check CO device for false alarm.
33.Keep power cords, electrical appliances and/or assemblies outside of the clearance area shown in this manual for combustible materials.
34.Consult your municipal building department or fire officials about restrictions, permits and installation requirements for your area.
35.For further information on using your stove 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 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
