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
Listed Residential Type and Build-
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.
27. For further information on using your stove
safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire
