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 3 – 5).
2. Do not install this stove in a mobile home,
tent, or trailer (NO EXCEPTIONS).
3. Always connect this stove to a chimney and
vent to the outside. Never vent to another
room or inside a building.
4. 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).
5. 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
may be able to recommend a qualified inspector.
6. 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 10).
7. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use
this stove who is unfamiliar with the correct
operation of the stove.
8. Do no t ope rate stove wh ile under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
9. 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.

10. Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate
higher than the ash pan. Dispose of ashes in
a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Do
not include any other refuse. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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. During operation, small
children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room as the stove.
14. Keep stove area clear and free from all
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
15. To prevent burns, always wear protective
clothing, leather hearth gloves and eye
protection, while tending the fire.
16. While in operation, keep the feed door, ash
door, and cabinet door closed and secured at
all times except while tending the fire.
17. Do not over fire the stove. Over firing will
occur if the feed door or ash door is left open
during operation. Such actions can result in
very dangerous operating conditions.
NOTE: A PROFESSIONAL, LICENSED HEATING AND COOLING CONTRACTOR SHOULD
BE CONSULTED IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF THIS
SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.

5. Place both legs upside down and attach the
heat shield assembly (from step 4) between the
legs. Align the holes in the heat shield assembly
with those in the mounting flange of the leg assemblies and secure with four (4) self-tapping

LOCATING STOVE
1. The stove must be placed on solid concrete,
solid masonry, or when installed on a combustible floor, on a listed floor protector, such as
Hy-C or Jackes-Evans Model UL 4260BK or
equivalent. (NOTE: To calculate R-values of
equivalent alternative materials, see page 14).
The base must extend at least 16” beyond the
side with the access door, 8” to the sides, 15”
to backside, and must extend under the stove
pipe if it is elbowed towards a wall. (See figures
3 & 4 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.
6. Attach leg/heat shield assembly to the base of
the stove using eight (8) self-tapping screws
(fig. 1).
7. Carefully lift stove to upright position.
8. Locate the door knob and machine screw in
the hardware pack. Open the cabinet door by
reaching under the cabinet frame
and pulling the door open.
9. Install the door knob onto the outside
of the door. Install the machine screw
through the latch bracket, door,
and into the knob. Tighten
securely (fig. 2).

3. After observing the clearances to combustible
materials (figures 4 & 5), locate your floor
protector accordingly (figure 3) and carefully place the stove in your selected location.
Install stove pipe, elbows, and thimble as
required, utilizing either a recently cleaned
and inspected 6” masonry chimney or a 6” i.d.
listed chimney.
4. Us e 6 ” r o un d b l ac k s t ov e pi p e, n o t
galvanized stove 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.

D-6 DRAFT DAMPER
6"/15.25 cm
A Draft Damper included with the stove must
be installed in the first straight section of pipe exiting the stove before the stove pipe is connected
and the wood stove is used.
1. Drill two 1/4” holes centered on either side of
the pipe section 6” from the top end of the pipe
(figure 6).
2. Remove the handle from the damper then slide
the damper into the pipe.
3. Align the damper with the holes drilled in step
1 and insert the handle through the holes and
the damper.
NOTE: This damper is necessary for the proper
operation of the stove and to meet EPA
emissions requirements for heating appli-
ances. It MUST be installed before use.

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 ceil-
ing.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue
(figure 7).
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, roof space, trusses, closet, or any concealed space, floor, ceiling, wall or combustible construction. (See Chimney Connector
Systems & Clearances, page 15). 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!
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 installa-
