1.Check local codes. The installation must comply with their rulings. Do not install this heater in a mobile home or trailer.

2.Always connect this heater to a chimney or vent to the outside. Never vent to another room or inside a building.

3.Do not connect a COAL burning heater to an aluminum Type B gas vent. This is not safe and is prohibited by all codes. This heater requires connection to approved chimneys: Either a factor built 6" UL 103HT or a lined and approved and recently in- spected and cleaned masonry chimney with a 6" flue, preferably round. A larger masonry flue may be used, so long as the flue-section diameter is not greater than 50 sq. in.

The chimney portion (whether factory-built or masonry) must be tall enough to provide sufficient draft and safe exit of smoke and combustion products. Please refer to Page 5.

4.Be sure that your Chimney is safely con- structed and in good repair. Have the chim- ney inspected by the Fire Department or a qualified inspector (such as a Chimney sweep). Your insurance company may be able to recommend a qualified inspector.

5.Inspect chimney connector and chimney twice monthly during the heating season for any deposit of creosote or soot which must be removed.

Provide air for combustion from outside the

6.house into the room where the heater is located. If the intake is not in the same room, air must have free access to the room.

CAST IRON PARTS MUST BE "SEA-

7.SONED" TO AVOID CRACKING. BUILD ONLY SMALL FIRES ON FIRST USE. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to

8.use this heater who is unfamiliar with the correct operation of the heater. Do not allow children to use or in any way operate this heater.

CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATER UNTIL IT HAS COOLED. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN REFUELING THIS UNIT OR WORKING WITH METAL CABINET PARTS.

9.	For further information on using your
	heater safely, obtain a copy of the National
	Fire Protection Association (NFPA) pub-
	lication "Using Coal and Wood Stoves
	Safely" NFPA No. HS-10-1978. The ad-
	dress of the NFPA is Battery March Park,
	Quincy, MA. 02269.
10.	Keep the ash pit section free of excess
	ashes. Do not allow ashes to stack higher
	than the sides of the ash pan.
11.	DISPOSAL OF ASHES- Ashes should be
	placed in a metal container with a tight
	fitting lid. Keep the closed container on a
	non-combustible 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.
12.	CAUTION: The special paints used on
	your heater may give off some smoke
	while they are curing during first few fires.
	Build small fires at first. The metals used
	in construction of the heater has a light
	coating of oil. This could give off smoke
	and/or odors when heater is used for the
	first couple of times. This should disap-
	pear after a short period of time. Once this
	burn-off has occurred, it should not reoc-
13. cur.
	CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS- This
	heater has a painted outside jacket, which
	is durable but it will not stand rough han-
	dling or abuse. When installing your heater,
	use care in handling. Clean with soap and
	warm water when heater is not hot. DO
	NOT use any harsh chemicals (acids or
	caustics) or scouring powder, as these
14. wear and dull the finish.
	KEEP THE FEED DOOR, ASH DOOR
	AND CABINET DOOR CLOSED AT ALL
	TIMES EXCEPT WHILE TENDING THE
	HEATER. DO NOT OVERFIRE THE
	HEATER. THIS WILL HAPPEN IF THE
	FEED DOOR, OR PARTICULARLY THE
	ASH DOOR, IS LEFT OPEN DURING
	OPERATION. UNDER EXTREME CON-
	DITIONS THIS CAN PRODUCE DAN-
	GEROUS RESULTS. AS A MINIMUM, IT
15.	WILL ALLOW THE PAINT TO DIS-
	COLOR.
	Use coal only. DO NOT USE the coal
	bricks that are manufactured from coal
