SAFETY INFORMATION

Read and understand this Owner's Manual thoroughly before installing and using this stove.

Make sure to install your stove:

qAccording to the manufacturer's recommendations.

qIn accordance with all applicable codes.

qWith the proper sized chimney.

When using your stove:

qWarn children and others unfamiliar with woodstoves of the danger of touching hot, radiating surfaces of your stove. For your additional safety, obtain hearth and stove guards through your local dealer.

qFollow recommended break-in procedure as outlined in this manual.

qBurn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions result when burning air-dried, seasoned wood, as compared to green or freshly cut wood.

qUse caution when loading firewood into a hot stove.

qKeep the door closed at all times except when loading wood.

qInspect the stovepipe, chimney connector and chimney, as recommended.

Follow these safety precautions:

qNever modify this stove in any way, especially the primary air control system.

qNever burn kiln dried wood, painted or treated wood, solvents, trash, plywood, colored or glossy paper, artificial logs, cardboard, coal, garbage or driftwood. Especially, do not burn coal in this stove.

qNever use gasoline type fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or other liquid fuels or solid fire starters to start or invigorate the fire. These fuels can possibly generate carbon monoxide, which can deplete the supply of oxygen. Keep all such materials away from the stove.

qNever use a wood grate or other device to elevate the fire.

qDo Not allow logs to rest against or otherwise come in contact with the glass when the door is closed.

qDo Not slam the door or use the door to force wood in to the stove.

qNever over-fire your stove. (See page 18)

qNever put articles of clothing or candles on a hot stove.

qDo Not connect the stove to a flue that is serving another appliance.

WARNING: FIREPLACE STOVES EQUIPPED WITH DOORS SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH DOORS FULLY OPEN OR DOORS FULLY CLOSED. IF DOORS ARE LEFT PARTLY OPEN, GAS AND FLAME MAY BE DRAWN OUT OF THE FIREPLACE STOVE OPENING, CREATING RISKS FROM BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE.

Other safety guidelines

qKeep all combustible items such as furniture, drapes, clothing, and other items, at least 36" (0.92 m) from the stove (See page 7)

qInstall a smoke detector, preferably in an area away from your wood stove.
