Testing Information

This manual describes the installation and operation of the Performer™ C/A210 non-catalytic wood heaters. These heaters meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s emissions limits for wood heaters sold on or after July 1, 1990. This heater has been developed, tested and con- structed in accordance with the requirements of UL 1482, ULC S628-93 and HUD standards and is listed by OMNI Test Laboratories, Beaverton, OR. It has been approved for residential and alcove installations.

General Safety Precautions

1.When this room heater is not properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.

2.Wear gloves during installation to avoid injury from sharp edges on the stove and/or its parts.

3.This unit is designed and engineered to burn only dry, well-seasoned wood. Burning wet wood will greatly reduce your stoves efficiency, produce exces- sive amounts of smoke, and can cause dangerous chimney fires due to creosote build-up.

4.Before opening the door, the draft control must be fully open to avoid possible combustion flash (igni- tion of hot volatile gases as the door is opened).

5.Do not use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep all flammable liquids and combustible materials 36” from any point of the stove when it is in use.

6.While burning, fuel utilizes oxygen from the air in the room. Be sure to allow an adequate amount of fresh air into the room where the stove is burning.

7.The outside surface of the stove will be hot while burning properly and can set items like clothing and curtains on fire. Keep furnishings and other combustible materials away from the stove. Using the heat from the stove to dry wet clothing can be hazardous if clothes are placed too near the surface of the stove.

8.Do not allow children to play near the stove without close supervision. Do not touch the stove while it is burning. Use extreme caution while the unit is in use. Surface temperatures become dangerously hot and can cause serious burns.

9.Do not allow anyone to operate the stove who is not familiar with the operating instructions.

10.Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed stove design specifications can result in permanent damage to the stove. Never leave your stove unat- tended on high burn rates. This may cause overfiring. Overfiring the stove may cause a house fire. If the stove glows, you are overfiring.

11.Use smoke detectors near your stove as well as in sleeping areas. Keep a water hose or hand-operated fire extinguisher close for safety.

12.Inspect your chimney at least once a month during the burning season to check for soot and creosote accumulations. Any accumulations over 1/4” thick should be removed by a professional chimney sweep. Do not attempt to burn out heavy creosote accumulations with a hot fire. If large accumulations are occurring, review your burning procedures.

13.If a creosote fire should develop, the fire department should be called immediately, and then attempts should be made to control the fire until assistance arrives. If a “runaway” fire should develop causing over-heating of the stove, the door and draft regula- tors should be closed immediately. The fire should die down once deprived of oxygen. After a severe chimney fire, the complete chimney system should be checked before further use.

14.Do not operate with a grate or with an elevated fire. Always build the fire on the surface of the firebrick.

15.Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
