8. 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.

9. 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.

10. DO NOT CONNECT A WOOD BURNING STOVE TO AN ALUMINUM TYPE B GAS VENT. This is not safe. Use

code-approved masonry chimney with ﬂ ue liner or an Underwriters Laboratories Listed UL 103 HT (US)/ULC-S629 (CDN) Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance Chimney system. Use a 6˝/152mm diameter chimney, that is high enough to give a good draft. (See speciﬁ cs in Chimney Connections instructions).

11. Be sure that your chimney is safely constructed and in good repair. Have the chimney inspected by the ﬁ re department or a qualiﬁ ed inspector. Your insurance company should be able to recommend a qualiﬁ ed inspector. Chimney connector pipe must be in good condition. Replace if necessary before using stove.

12. Creosote or soot may build up in the chimney connector and chimney and cause a house/building ﬁ re. Inspect the chimney connector and chimney twice monthly during the heating season and clean if necessary. (see Service Hints).

13. In the event of a chimney ﬁ re, 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 ﬁ re by contacting your local ﬁ re authority for information on proper procedures in the event of a chimney ﬁ re. After the ﬁ re is out, the chimney must be cleaned and inspected for any stress or cracks before starting another ﬁ re. Check the condition of any combustibles surrounding the chimney.

14. Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate above the top of the lower primary air oriﬁ ce (LPAO, air vent at front of ﬁ rebox, just inside of door).

15. DISPOSAL OF ASHES Ashes should be placed in a steel container with a tight ﬁ tting lid and moved outdoors immediately. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible ﬂ oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending ﬁ nal 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.

16. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this stove who is unfamiliar with the correct operation of the stove.

17. Do not operate stove while under the inﬂ uence of drugs or alcohol.

18. DO NOT ELEVATE THE FIRE. Build ﬁ re directly on the bottom of the ﬁ rebox. This stove has not been tested with the use of grates, andirons or other means of elevating the ﬁ re and must not be used.

NOTE: A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL HEATING AND COOLING CONTRACTOR SHOULD BE CONSULTED IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF THIS SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

18. The special paints used on your stove may give off some smoke and an odor while they are curing during the ﬁ rst

12 to 15 ﬁ res. Additional smoke and odor may be emitted from the light oils used in construction of the ﬁ re 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 ﬁ red.

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 ﬁ nish.

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 UNSUPERVISED 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 ﬂ ammable

vapors and liquids.

24. WHILE TENDING THE FIRE ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, ﬁ re retardant hearth gloves and eye

protection, to prevent burns.

25. Never operate this stove with the door open except when re-fueling. Such actions can result in very dangerous

operating conditions.

26. DO NOT OVER FIRE THE STOVE. Over ﬁ ring 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 ﬁ re

27. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the ﬁ re. Do not build ﬁ res 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 CONJUNCTION 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 ﬁ re.

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 ﬂ oor 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.

If alarm sounds:

• Recognize the symptoms of CO poisoning (headaches, nausea & drowsiness).

• Increase ventilation (open windows & doors).

• Make sure stove doors and/or lids are closed and secured.

• Check stove for smoking or pufﬁ ng (open airﬂ ow controls).

• Check chimney & connector pipe for leaks, blockage or down-draft conditions.

• Check CO device for false alarm.

34. Keep power cords, electrical appliances and/or assemblies outside of the clearance area shown in this manual

for combustible materials.

35. Consult your municipal building department or ﬁ re ofﬁ cials about restrictions, permits and installation requirements

for your area.

36. 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. Write NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

Installation

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. The tapered end of the connector stovepipe ﬁ ts into the stove ﬂ ue collar. Secure with three sheet metal screws. Notice: For side or rear venting, you must have a minimum 24” vertical rise from top of stove to horizontal pipe sections (see ﬁ g. 7).

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 ﬂ ue (ﬁ g. 9).

5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with a minimum of three (3) equally spaced sheet metal screws at each joint and at the stove collar to make the pipe 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 ﬂ oor, ceiling, wall or combustible construction. (See Chimney Connector Systems & Clearances, page 22). A UL 103 HT Listed Chimney System must be used from the ﬁ rst penetration of ceiling or wall to the chimney cap. Installation must conform to the latest edition of NFPA 211.

WARNING:

DO NOT USE SINGLE WALL CONNECTOR

PIPE AS A CHIMNEY - A HOUSE FIRE

COULD RESULT.

NOTE: CONNECTOR PIPE IS NOT INCLUDED. TO PURCHASE, VISIT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE, HOME

OR BUILDING CENTER. SEE “LOCATING STOVE” PAGE 6 FOR ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS

CHIMNEY SIZING

Today’s solid fuel heating appliances are much more efﬁ cient than those made in the past. Your heating appliance has been designed to provide the most efﬁ cient transfer of heat possible from the least amount of fuel. Controlled combustion is the key to optimum heating performance. Controlled combustion requires a ﬂ ow of fresh air into the appliance, across the fuel and is ﬁ nally exhausted up the chimney. Today’s high efﬁ ciency 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 stove. If the chimney diameter is too large, it will be difﬁ cult to raise the chimney ﬂ ue temperature to provide for adequate draft. This may result in a poor burn, smoke spillage, and rapid creosote creation. A 6” diameter chimney is best suited for this stove.

Your heating appliance must have a minimum of a 6” diameter (152mm) chimney. Maximum chimney diameter must not exceed 10” (254mm) or have a cross sectional area greater than 85 sq. in. (550cm2.) Proper draft for this heating appliance is minimum of 0.05 w.c. (water column measurement) and is required to prevent back pufﬁ ng, smoke spillage and prevent safety hazards. Take into account the chimney’s location to insure it is not too close to neighbors or in a valley which may cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions.

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT

Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage. Inadequate draft may cause backpufﬁ ng into the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney. “Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints.” “An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.”

CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS

The stove must be connected to either a codeapproved masonry chimney with ﬂ ue liner or manufactured metal chimney system built and tested to the speciﬁ cations listed on the previous pages. Chimneys perform two functions:

1. As a means of exhausting smoke and ﬂ ue gases which are the result of fuel combustion.

2. The chimney (only) provides “draft” which allows oxygen to be continuously introduced into the appliance, so that proper combustion is possible. This stove relies on natural draft to operate.

NOTICE: Always provide a source of fresh air into the room where the stove is located. Failure to do so may result in air starvation of other fuel burning appliances and the possible development of hazardous conditions, ﬁ re or death.

A stove DOES NOT create draft. Draft is provided by the chimney. To achieve proper draft your chimney must meet the four minimum height requirements detailed in

ﬁ gures 11–13. If these minimum requirements are not met your stove will not operate properly. A minimum of 0.05 w.c. (measured in

water column) is required for proper drafting to prevent back puffing, smoke spillage, and to maximize performance. (Gauges to measure draft are readily available at stove stores and are economical to rent or purchase.) Factors such as wind, barometric pressure, trees, terrain and chimney temperature can have an adverse effect on the draft. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for external factors leading to

Fig. 10 - Masonry

less than optimal drafting. Should you have a problem with inadequate draft, you should contact a licensed heating and cooling contractor for assistance in solving the problem. For a more in-depth explanation see Chimney Draft on page 15.
