SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS continued…
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.
10. 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 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 IMMEDIA TELY! 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.
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. Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate
higher than the ash pan. Dispose of 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.
15. 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
overfired.
16. 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. 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. 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.
18. If small children will be in the same room as
the stove during operation, provide a sturdy
barrier to keep them at a save distance
from the stove. NEVER LEAVE SMALL
CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED when they
are in the same room as the stove.
19. Keep stove area clear and free from all
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
20. To prevent burns, always wear protective
clothing, leather hearth gloves and eye
protection, while tending the fire.
21. While in operation, keep the feed door, ash
door, and cabinet door closed and secured at
all times except while tending the fire.
22. Do not overfire the stove. Overfiring will
occur if the feed door or ash door is left open
during operation. Such actions can result in
very dangerous operating conditions.
23. All power cords and electrical appliances
and/or assemblies must be kept outside of the
clearance dimensions shown in this manual for
combustible materials.
24. For further information on using your stove
safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) publication,

CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
1. The crimped end of the stovepipe fits inside
the stove flue collar . Install additional pipe and
elbow with the crimped end towards the stove.
This will allow any condensation in the flue to
run back into the firebox.
2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards
towards the chimney at least 1/4” per foot of
horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue
(figure 7).
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with three (3) sheet
metal screws at each joint to make the piping
rigid.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2)
90° bends be used in the stovepipe installation.
The use of more than two 90° bends may decrease the amount of draw and possibly cause
CORRECT WRONG WRONG
smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows. These
provide a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an
attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed
space, or floor, ceiling, wall or combustible
construction. (See Chimney Connector Systems & Clearances, page 17). A UL 103 HT
Listed chimney must be used from the first
penetration of ceiling or wall to the chimney
cap. Never use single wall connector pipe as
a chimney - a house fire could result.
