Super-Magnum Coal Stoker Stove

2Special Warnings and Notes

Carbon monoxide, referred to as CO, is a colorless, odorless gas that is produced during combustion of coal and other fuels. CO fumes are toxic and can be fatal.

The Super-Magnum is a natural draft system which relies on a properly designed chimney to remove CO and other combustion by-products from the stove.

Even though this stove is designed to be as safe as possible, it is important that you install a CO detector. This is true for oil, gas, or wood burning products as well.

CO is not specifically heavier or lighter than air. Therefore, it is best to install the detector at table top level rather than on the ceiling like a smoke detector.

CO detectors are very sensitive and may sound an alarm for fumes other than CO or CO from sources other than the stove such as car or lawn mower exhaust.

If the alarm sounds

1.Increase ventilation by opening windows or doors.

2.Make sure the stove doors and hopper lid are closed and latched.

3.Check stove for electrical power and normal operation.

4.Check chimney for possible blockage or down-draft.

5.Check for false alarm.

Never sleep in the same room with any coal burning stove.

Wet Coal Prevent Rust & Corrosion:

Freshly delivered coal is watered down to eliminate dust when loading and unloading. Wet rice coal does not flow as well as dry coal. We do not recommend burning wet coal; however, we realize if it's the only coal you have, it is better to burn it than to be cold. If you must burn wet coal, the feed rate will likely need increased. Doing this once or twice a year will not damage your stove as long as it is hot and burning. Damage is caused when the hopper is left with wet coal in it while the stove is cold. This will cause rust and corrosion and it is totally the operator’s fault. After the coal dries for three or four days, depending on conditions, it will flow and feed properly.

Always empty the hopper when not burning for more than a week. When left standing for long periods with wet coal, the feed system will rust and corrode, causing it to seize. If the stoker is then turned "on", damage to the pusher assembly and feed motor could result. This will be considered neglect and will void the warranty on those parts. Always check to see that moving parts are free before using, if the unit has not been burned for a period of time. This can best be determined by running a "Test" cycle and watching the cam block and pusher arm inside the right rear door.

Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Due to ash buildup, it is strongly recommended to have your stove professionallycleanedandserviced annually. This includes all parts of the stove, and the venting system.

NEVER CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

Installation and repair of this stove should be done by a qualified service person. We recommend that the stove be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. Periodic cleaning is required throughout the heating season and at the end of each winter for the stove to work efficiently. See cleaning instructions on page 24.
