RULES FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Read these rules and the instructions carefully.

SAFETY NOTICE: If this heater is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.

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 WOOD 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 factory built 6" UL 103HT or a lined, approved, recently inspected, 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 (see Chimney Mainte- nance, page 14).

6.Provide air for combustion from outside the 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.

7.CAST IRON PARTS MUST BE "SEA- SONED" TO AVOID CRACKING. BUILD ONLY SMALL FIRES ON FIRST USE.

8.To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to 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) publica- tion "Using Coal and Wood Stoves Safely" NFPA No. HS-10-1978. The address 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 used as fertilizer.

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 metal used in construction of the heater has a light coat- ing of oil. This could give off smoke and/or odors when heater is used for the first couple of times. This should disappear after a short period. Once this burn-off has occurred, it should not reoccur.

13.CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS- This heater has a painted outside jacket, which is durable but 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 wear and dull the finish.

14.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 WILL ALLOW THE PAINT TO DISCOLOR.

*Never allow ashes to contact the grate(s).
