8. DO NOT CONNECT A WOOD BURNING STOVE TO AN ALUMINUM TYPE B GAS VENT. This is not
safe. Use approved masonry or a UL 103 HT (US) / ULC-S629 (CDN) ing Heating Appliance Chimney. Use a 6” diameter chimney, that is high enough to give a good draft. (See specifics in Chimney Connections instructions).
9.
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.
10. Creosote or soot may build up in the chimney con­nector and chimney and cause a house/building fire. Inspect the chimney connector and chim- ney twice monthly during the heating season and clean if necessary. (See Chimney Maintenance, page 12).
11. In the event of a chimney fire, turn the air control to closed position, 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 or provincial fire authority for information on proper procedures in the event of a chimney fire.
12. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this stove who is unfamiliar with the correct operation of the stove.
13. Do not operate stove while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
14. ASH DISPOSAL Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate above sides of ash drawer. 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. The paint used on your stove may give off smoke and/ or odor during the first fires. This may occur during the first 12 to 15 fires until the paint has cured. After the paint has cured this will end and not reoccur. 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 odor. If the stove is over fired, paint discoloration will occur.
16. This stove has a painted surface which is durable but it will not stand rough handling

Ashes
or abuse. When installing your stove, use care in handling. Clean 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.
17. The walls of the firebox may become slightly dis­torted after a period of use. A slight distortion will not affect the operation of the stove.
18. While stove is in operation, all persons, especially young children should be alerted to the hazards from high surface temperatures. Keep away from a hot stove to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
19. 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. NEVER
LEAVE SMALL CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE STOVE.
20. Keep stove area clear and free from all combustible materials, gasoline, and other flam­mable vapors and liquids.
21.
WHILE TENDING THE FIRE ALWAYS WEAR PRO­TECTIVE CLOTHING, fire retardant hearth gloves
and eye protection, to prevent burns
22. While in operation, keep ash drawer in place and the feed door closed and secured at all times except while tending the fire.
23.
DO NOT OVER FIRE THE STOVE. Over firing will occur if combustion air is uncontrolled as when ash drawer is missing or feed door is left open during operation. Such actions can result in very dangerous operating conditions. While in operation, keep the ash drawer in place. Keep feed door closed and secured at all times except while tending the fire
24. NO NOT ELEVATE FIRE! Build fire directly on the bottom of the firebox. This stove has not been tested with the use of grates, andirons, or other means of elevating fire and should not be used.
25. 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.
26. All power cords and electrical appliances and/or assemblies must be kept outside of the clearance dimensions shown in this manual for combustible materials.
