NOTE:
DURING OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE FEED AND ASH DOORS OF THIS HEATER, IT MAY SEEM THAT THE FIT OF THE DOOR IS "TOO TIGHT". AS THE HEATER IS FIRED, THE GASKETING "SETTLES" OR "SEATS" ITSELF IN THE DOOR. THE TIGHT FIT AT THE FACTORY AND BEFORE THE HEATER'S INITIAL FIRING IS TO INSURE A GOOD SEAL AFTER THE GASKETING "SETTLES".
NOTE:
FOR YOUR SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND INSTALLING SMOKE DETECTORS IN YOUR HOME IF NOT ALREADY INSTALLED.
SAFETY NOTICE
In the unlikely event that your 2941 "overfires" (a condition evidenced by elbows, stovepipes, and connectors glowing red in appearance or otherwise discoloring), then your installation is subject to excessive draft created by either a chimney too tall or too great in diameter in conjunction with its height, or some other factor of an indeterminate cause. In this event, you should install a barometric draft regulator. Such installation will preclude any overfiring and/or any hazardous consequences of potential overfiring.
Barometric draft regulators are generally available where you purchased your stove or may be ordered directly from United States Stove Company at a nominal charge.

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.
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.
9.For further information on using your heater safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) publication "Using Coal and Wood Stoves Safely" NFPA No.
10.Keep the ash pit section free of excess ashes. Do not allow ashes to stack higher than the sides of the ash pan.*
CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATER UNTIL IT HAS COOLED. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN REFUELING THIS UNIT OR WORKING WITH METAL CABINET PARTS.
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 coating 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
13.CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS- This heater has a painted outside jacket, which is durable but will not stand rough handling 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 EX TREME CONDITIONS THIS CAN PRO DUCE DANGEROUS RESULTS. AT A MINIMUM, IT WILL ALLOW THE PAINT TO DISCOLOR.
*Never allow ashes to contact the grate(s).

MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE WALLS AND CEILINGS
Minimum clearances to unprotected combustible walls and ceilings as noted by figures 2 through 4 must be maintained. Drapes, curtains, furniture and other combustible materials should be kept much further away from the heater to avoid fire. If you choose to, you may install the heater and chimney connector closer to combustible surfaces than indicated by Figures 2 through 4 IF a clearance reduction system is also installed to protect combustible ceilings and walls near the heater and chimney connector. However, there are limits to how close the heater and chimney connector can be installed to combustible surfaces protected by a clearance reduction system. A correctly installed clearance reduction system protects the combustible surfaces well beyond the sides and above the top of the heater and beyond the sides and top of the chimney connector pipe.
Two common types of clearance reduction systems use sheet metal with a minimum thickness of 28 gauge (galvanized steel, aluminum, copper) or a
