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.

Read these rules and the instructions carefully.

1.Check with local codes. The installation comply with their rulings. Observe closely the clearances to combustibles (page 4).

2.Do not install this heater in a mobile home or trailer.

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

4.Do not connect a wood burning heater to a Type B gas vent. This is not safe and is prohibited by the National Fire Protection Association Code. This heater requires approved masonry or UL, ULC Listed Residential Type and Building Heat- ing Appliance Chimney. Use a 6" diameter chim- ney or larger, that is high enough to give a good draft.

5.Be sure that your chimney is safely constructed and in good repair. Have the chimney inspected by the Fire Department or a qualified inspector. Your insurance company may be able to recom- mend a qualified inspector.

6.Inspect chimney connector and chimney twice monthly during the heating season for any de- posit of creosote or soot which must be removed (see Chimney Maintenance, page 9).

7.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 in to the room.

8.To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this heater who is unfamiliar with the correct opera- tion of the heater.

9.For further information on using your heater safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire Pro- tection Association (NFPA) publication "Using

Coal and Wood Stoves Safely" NFPA No. HS- 10-1978. The address of the NFPA is Batterymarch Park, MA 02269.

**For more information on a Canadian Installa- tion, obtain a copy of CAN/CSA - B365 - M91 Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appli- ances and Equipment.

10.Disposal of Ashes- Place ashes 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 mate- rials. 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.

11.CAUTION- The special paints used on your heater may give off some smoke while they are curing during the first few fires. Build small fires at first.

12.CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS- This heater has a painted jacket, which is durable but it 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 acids or scouring soap, as these wear and dull the finish. PAINT DISCOLORATION WILL OCCUR IF THE HEATER IS OVERFIRED. FOLLOW OPER- ATING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

13.All persons, especially children, should be alerted to hazards from high surface tempera- tures and kept away while in operation. Small children should not be left unsupervised when in the room with the heater.

14.Keep the area adjacent to the heater free from all combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors.

CAUTION! Do not touch the heater until it has cooled.

NOTE:

FOR YOUR SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND INSTALLING SMOKE DETECTORS IN YOUR HOME IF NOT

ALREADY INSTALLED.
