RULES FOR CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION

RULES FOR CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION

OPERATING INSTRUC-

1.The crimped end of the stovepipe fits inside the heater flue collar. Install ad- ditional pipe and elbow with the

CRIMPED END TOWARD THE HEATER. This will allow any condensation in the flue to run back into the heater. Smoke will not escape when installed in this manner.

2.Slope any horizontal pipe upward toward the chimney at least 1/4 inch for each foot of horizontal run.

3.You must have at least 18 inches of clearance between any horizontal pip- ing and the ceiling.

4.The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue. (Fig. 8)

5.Seal each connector pipe joint with furnace cement. Also seal the pipe at the chimney.

6.Use 3 Sheet Metal screws at each joint to make the piping rigid.

7.It is recommended that no more than two 90 degree bends be used in the stovepipe installation as more than two may decrease the amount of draw and if possible, use only corrugated (non- adjustable) elbows. They are much more airtight.

8.The chimney connector must not pass through an attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed space, or floor, ceiling, wall or combustive construc- tion.

TIONS

FUEL

Hardwood, 18" to 23" should be split and air dried (seasoned) for 6 months to obtain maximum burning efficiency.

Wood should be stored in a dry, well ventilated area. A Wooden box or crate is ideal for storage.

NOTE: USE SOLID WOOD MATERIAL ONLY. DO NOT USE COAL.

DO NOT USE MANUFACTURED OR CHARCOAL LOGS!

LIGHTING

1.

Set the thermostat on "High" for

maximum draft.

2.

Open the feed door and place paper

and kindling on the grate for starting the

fire.

CAUTION: BUILD A FIRE ON THE INTEGRAL GRATE THAT IS PRO- VIDED WITH THE HEATER.

CAUTION: STORING OF WOOD WITHIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES OF HEATER MAY CAUSE HOUSE FIRE.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFIRE THE HEATER, AS STATED EARLIER, THIS CAN PRODUCE A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND EVEN CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE. IF ANY PORTION OF THE HEATER OR ANY CHIMNEY CONNECTOR GLOWS RED OR DIS- COLORS, THE HEATER IS BEING OVERFIRED.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS HEATER WITH FEED OR ASH DOOR OPEN. THIS HEATER IS DESIGNED FOR THERMOSTATIC OPERATION. OPERATION WITH EITHER DOOR OPEN WILL OVERHEAT AND DAM-

HOW TO LIFT THE TOP

CAUTION - DO NOT OPEN OR CLOSE TOP WHEN HEATER IS HOT! To open, grasp TOP at front and lift all the way, then gently lower the TOP until the TOP SUPPORT ROD latches to hold the TOP (Fig. A).

To close, lift TOP until the TOP SUPPORT ROD is unlatched. Pull the ROD forward and lower the TOP (Fig. B).

3.

Light fire and close feed door.

4.

Add fuel after fire is burning briskly.

Use care not to smother the kindling fire.

5.

Set thermostat higher or lower for

desired temperature.

ADDING FUEL

When possible, add small amounts of fuel each hour or so instead of adding large quantities of fresh fuel every 4 to 5 hours. This will give more complete combustion and less build-up of tars or soot in the chimney.

AGE THE HEATER.

CAUTION: NEVER STORE FLAM- MABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF THE HEATER.

CAUTION: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THE HEATER.
