This heater is approved for burning coal only. Use of any other fuel, except for the purpose of coal ignition, is a violation of U.S. law.

When and if the chimney pipe or connector reaches 500˚ f. (maximum temperature), the stove is being over-fired. It is recommended that you use mag- netic thermometers on the stove and flue connector, to ensure safe operation.

This stove consumes air when it is burning. If your house is especially tight, It is advisable that a nearby window be opened slightly while burning the stove.

Information in this manual is manufacturer’s recommendations. If there is a discrepancy between these recommendations and your local code require- ments, you must follow local codes.

1.3 CURING PAINT.

During the first few hours of burning, a blue smoke will be observed rising from the painted surfaces of the stove. This is the paint being cured, and will disap- pear over time. Increase the amount of fresh air in the room during this initial break-in period. This may be achieved by opening doors or windows.

1.4Mobile Homes.

This stove is not approved for use in mobile /manu- factured homes.

2.Assembly & Installation:

2.1UNPACKING AND INSPECTION OF

PARTS.

Inspect the stove for any visible damage. The blower and the shaker handle are packaged inside the stove.

2.2Locating The stove.

Locate the stove as close to the chimney or flue as possible while adhering to the recommended clear- ances to combustible material. Safe stove clearance to combustible walls is 24” to the rear of the stove, and 33” to the sides of the stove. In a corner installa- tion, you need 24” to the side walls. Clearance to the front of the stove, for furniture, etc. is 36”

Floor protection, for a combustible floor, must be a minimum of 3/8” thick non-combustible material. The floor protector should extend 8” to either side, and 16” in front of the stove. Floor protection should also be under any horizontal sections of flue pipe.
