SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS-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 10–12). Do not place furniture or other objects within the clearance area.
2. 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.
3. DO NOT store wood, flammable liquids or other combustible materials too close to the unit. Refer to certification label
on back of unit and reference figures 10–12 in this manual.
4. DO NOT INSTALL THIS STOVE IN A MOBILE HOME, MANUFACTURED HOME, TRAILER OR TENT NO EXCEPTIONS! (HUD Federal Standard: 24 CFR Ch.XX).
5. DO NOT MODIFY THIS STOVE IN ANY WAY! DO NOT ELEVATE THIS STOVE BY ANY MEANS. (i.e. bricks under
pedestal base, cement blocks) Stove base must set directly upon the solid-surface, non-combustible floor as specified
in this stove instruction manual.
6. DO NOT MODIFY THIS STOVE IN ANY WAY! Stove must be installed with pedestal provided, attached as shown in
the instructions. DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT BOTTOM HEAT SHIELD – NO EXCEPTIONS. Heat Shield must be
assembled and installed as shown in Assembly Instructions. Assemble only with original parts as supplied and shown
in this manual. DO NOT OPERATE 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. Do not tamper with combustion air control beyond normal adjustment capacities.
8. 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.
9. DO NOT CONNECT A WOOD BURNING STOVE TO AN ALUMINIUM TYPE B GAS VENT. This is not safe. Use ap-
proved masonry or an Underwriters Laboratories Listed UL 103 HT / ULC-S629 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 control to closed position, leave the building and CALL THE FIRE DEPART-
MENT 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 im-
mediately. 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 to use this stove who is unfamiliar with the correct operation of the stove.
16. Do not operate stove while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
17. 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.
NOTE: A PROFESSIONAL, LICENSED HEATING AND COOLING CONTRACTOR MUST BE CONSULTED IF YOU
HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF THIS SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. CLEAN STOVE FREQUENTLY as soot, creosote and ash may accumulate.
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 flammable
vapors and liquids.
24. WHILE TENDING THE FIRE ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, fire retardant hearth gloves and eye pro-
tection, 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 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 make sure the coal bed does
not obstruct the air inlet. Do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that it would be hazardous when opening the
door.
28. NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED when the door is 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 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.
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 puffing (open airflow 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 fire officials 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. The address of the NFPA is Batterymarch

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 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. /550cm2. 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.

CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
NOTE: CONNECTOR PIPE IS NOT INCLUDED. TO PURCHASE, VISIT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE, HOME, OR
BUILDING CENTER. SEE “LOCATING STOVE” PAGE 7 FOR ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS.
Connector pipe is used to make the connection from the final positioning of your stove to an approved chimney. Connector pipe is NOT included as part of the stove. Connector pipe must be 6”/152mm diameter minimum of 24 MSG (minimum
standard gauge) black or 26 MSG blue steel stove pipe. Any connector pipe used must be in good condition. Replace
if necessary before using stove. Connector pipe is not rated to provide close contact to combustible materials and must
have proper clearance from combustible materials as shown in the clearance diagrams on the previous pages. Connector pipe should never be used in place of a chimney. If proper clearances are not observed a house fire could result. 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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please Note: Installation of a flue damper is NOT recommended. Combustion control is regulated by the intake of combustion air, not the exhaust.
1. The crimped end of the stovepipe fits inside the stove flue collar. Secure with a minimum of three (3) equally spaced
sheet metal screws. The first section of connector pipe must be single walled to properly attach to the stove 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”(6.4mm) per foot of horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18˝/457mm of clearance between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue (figure 14).
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with a minimum of three equally spaced sheet metal screws at each joint to make the piping rigid. DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
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 smoke spillage. Where possible, use only corrugated (non adjustable) elbows. These provide a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an attic or roof space, trusses, closet, or any concealed space, floor,
ceiling, wall, or combustible construction. (See Chimney Connector Systems & Clearances, page 14.) A UL 103
HT (USA)/ ULC-S629 (CDN) Listed chimney system must be used from the first penetration of ceiling or wall to the
chimney cap. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to NFPA 211 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B365 (Canada).
WARNING:
DO NOT USE SINGLE WALL CONNECTOR PIPE AS A CHIMNEY - A HOUSE FIRE COULD RESULT.
