SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY NOTICE: IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE/BUILDING FIRE MAY
RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT PERMITS,
RESTRICTIONS, AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR AREA.
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 2 – 4).
2. Do not install this stove in a mobile home,
manufactured home, trailer or tent
(NO EXCEPTIONS! per HUD Federal
Standard: 24 CFR Ch.XX).
3. 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.
4. If any parts are missing or defective, please
notify the dealer or manufacturer immediately. DO NOT OPERATE A STOVE THAT
IS MISSING ANY PARTS!.
5. Do not tamper with combustion air control
beyond normal adjustment capacities.
6. 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.
7. 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
Listed Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance Chimney. Use a 6” diameter
chimney or larger, that is high enough to give
a good draft. (See specifics in installation
instructions).
8. 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.
9. 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 Maintenance, page 10).
10. In the event of a chimney fire, turn the air
controls and flue damper to closed position,
leave the building and CALL THE FIRE DE-
PARTMENT 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.
11. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use
this stove who is unfamiliar with the correct
operation of the stove.
12. Do not opera t e stove while under th e
influence of drugs or alcohol.
13. 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.
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. Other
waste shall not be place in this container. 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. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. Keep stove area clear and free from all
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
19. To prevent burns, always wear protective
clothing, leather hearth gloves and eye
protection, while tending the fire.
20. While in operation, keep the feed and ash doors
closed and secured at all times except while
tending the fire.
21. Do not overfire the stove. Overfiring will
occur if the feed or ash doors are left open during operation. Such actions can result in very
dangerous operating conditions.
22. All power cords and electrical appliances
must be kept outside of the clearance dimensions shown in this manual for combustible
materials.
23. 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.

Fig. 2 Minimum Clearance Dimensions from Combustible Surfaces Fig. 3
Proper clearances must be maintained for adequate
air circulation. Adequate ventilation must be
provided while operating this stove.
1. The stove must be placed on solid concrete, solid masonry, or on an listed
floor protector, such as Hy-C or Imperial Model UL 5463BK when installed on a
combustible floor. The base must extend at
least 18” beyond the front, rear and sides of the
stove, and must extend under the stove pipe if
it is elbowed towards a wall (see figure 5 and
consult local building codes and fire protection
ordinances.)
2. The stove must have its own flue. DO NOT
CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING OTHER APPLIANCES.
3. After observing the clearances to combustible
materials (figure 2 – 4), locate your floor
protector accordingly (figure 2) and carefully place the stove in your selected location.
Install stove pipe, stove pipe damper, elbows,
and thimble as required, utilizing either a
recently cleaned and inspected 6” masonry
chimney or a 6” i.d. listed chimney. Maximum
64 square inches.
4. Use 6” round black stove pipe. DO NOT use
galvanized duct pipe. Secure pipe sections with
three (3) sheet metal screws in each stove pipe
and/or elbow joint to firmly hold the pipe sections together. DO NOT CONNECT THIS
STOVE TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION OR
DUCT SYSTEM.
5. Re c he c k cl e ar a nc e s fr o m th e s t o v e ,
connector stove pipe, and corner clearances
using the illustrations (figure 2, 3 & 4) and
your local building codes or fire protection
ordinances.
NOTE: Drywall faced with brick or stone must
be considered a combustible surface.
6. DO NOT INSTALL THIS STOVE
IN A MOBILE HOME, TENT OR TRAILER.
(NO EXCEPTIONS)
7. The clearances provided are min imum
dimensions. Installation of this stove must
comply with your local building code rulings.
8. This stove is NOT a UL listed stove.

CAUTION: KEEP FURNISHINGS AND OTHER
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AWAY FORM THE
STOVE.
CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
1. The smooth end of the stovepipe fits over the cast
iron flue collar at top rear of stove (fig. 5).
a). Crimped end of pipe must be away from
stove.
b). Hand form lower end (fig. 6) of stove pipe to
oval shape (fig. 7) and slide over flue outlet collar
as shown in figure 5.
c). Secure st ove pi p e to flue c ollar wit h
at least three (3) sheet metal screws and seal with
stove cement.
2. Horiz o ntal pipe runs must slop e 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
8).
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
degree bends be used in the stovepipe installation.
The use of more than two 90 degree bends may
decrease the amount of draw and possibly cause
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. 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.
