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 5–7 in this manual.
4. FOR MOBILE HOME INSTALLATIONS IN U.S.A.
ONLY. DO NOT INSTALL IN MOBILE HOMES IN CANADA. See additional mobile home require­ments on page 10.
5. DO NOT ELEVATE THIS STOVE BY ANY MEANS. (i.e. bricks under pedestal, cement blocks) Stove pedestal must set directly upon the solid-surface non­combustible floor as specified in this stove instruction manual.
6. DO NOT MODIFY THIS STOVE IN ANY WAY! Stove must be installed with pedestal and ash drawer provided, attached as shown in the instructions.
DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT ASH DRAWER OR ASH CLEAN OUT COVER IN PLACE – NO
EXCEPTIONS. Assemble only with original parts as supplied and shown in this manual. DO NOT OPER- ATE A STOVE THAT 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. CAUTION: DO NOT ALTER COMBUSTION AIR
CONTROL RANGE TO INCREASE FIRING OR FOR ANY REASON. Altering or tampering with air
control beyond normal capacity will create unsafe and hazardous conditions.
8. Always connect this stove to a chimney and vent to the outside. Never vent to a 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 code-approved masonry chimney with flue liner or a manufactured Underwriters Laboratories Listed UL 103 HT (US)/ULC-S629 (CDN) 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 controls 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 lower primary air orifice (LPAO, air vent at front of firebox, just inside of door).
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 use this stove who is unfamiliar with the correct operation.
16. Do not operate stove while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
17. DO NOT ELEVATE THE 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 the fire and must not be used.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS continued…
18. During the first 12 to 15 fires the special paints and pro­tective oils used in construction of your stove may give off some smoke and odor while they are curing. 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.
19. 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.
20. CLEAN STOVE FREQUENTLY as soot, creosote and ash may accumulate. 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.
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 UNSUPER-
VISED 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 PRO- TECTIVE CLOTHING, fire retardant hearth gloves and eye protection, to prevent burns.
25. Never operate this stove without ash drawer, ash clean out or with the door open except when re­fueling. 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. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the fire. Do not build fires against glass and do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that it creates a hazard when opening the door.
28. NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED with door open. Always close the door after ignition.
29. DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNC-
TION 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 STAIR­CASE, as it may block egress in the event of a fire.
31. DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
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.

CHIMNEY SIZING
Today’s solid fuel heating appliances are much more efficient than those made in the past. Your heat­ing appliance has been designed to provide the most efficient transfer of heat possible from the least amount of fuel.
Controlled combustion is the key to optimum heat­ing performance. Controlled combustion requires a flow of fresh air into the appliance, across the fuel and is finally exhausted up the chimney.
Today’s high efficiency stoves transfer more heat into the living area and less up the chimney. Exhaust gases are typically at a lower temperature than tradi­tional type stoves. With lower exhaust temperatures, it is important that the chimney is correctly sized to the
Page 8 / TR007 PONDEROSA™ Vogelzang International Corp. VGZ-031 / 20120619.1
stove. If the chimney diameter is too large, it will be dif­ficult to raise the chimney flue temperature to provide for adequate draft. This may result in a poor burn, smoke spillage, and rapid creosote creation. A 6”/152mm diameter chimney is best suited for this stove.
Your heating appliance must have a minimum of a 6”/152mm diameter chimney. Maximum chimney diameter must not exceed 10˝ /254mm or have a cross sectional area greater than 85 sq. in. /550cm
Proper draft for this heating appliance is minimum of
0.05 w.c. (water column measurement) and is required to prevent back puffing, smoke spillage and prevent safety hazards.
