CAUTION: Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. For your safety, follow these
installation, operation and maintenance instructions exactly, without deviation. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result.
Contact your local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.
1. If using an older chimney, it must be inspected for adequate serviceability. Refer to Chimney Inspection on page 11 of
this manual.
2. The minimum clearances must be maintained for all combustible surfaces and materials, including furniture, carpet,
drapes, clothing, wood, papers, etc. Do not store firewood within this clearance space. Failure to maintain clearances to
all combustible materials may result in a house fire.
3. This appliance requires non-combustible floor protection as outlined in this manual (see Floor Protection on page 9 for
additional information).
4. Minimum ceiling height must be 7 feet (213 cm) (measured from base of appliance to ceiling).
5. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE THAT IS CONNECTED TO ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
6. Do not connect this appliance to air ducts or any air distribution system.
7. PREVENT CREOSOTE FIRE: Inspect and clean chimney frequently. Under certain conditions of use, creosote build-
up can occur rapidly. Inspect chimney connector and chimney twice monthly and clean if necessary. Using green or in-
adequately seasoned wood can greatly increase creosote build-up. Use dry wood only to minimize creosote build-up.
8. USE SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY: This appliance is approved for burning dry, seasoned, natural wood only. CAU-
TION: BURN UNTREATED WOOD ONLY. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS, SUCH AS
GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
9. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen
up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from heater while it is in use.
10. DO NOT OVERFIRE: If heater or chimney connector glows, you are overfiring. Overfiring this appliance could cause
a house fire. Overfiring is a condition where the appliance is operated at temperatures above its design capabilities.
Overfiring can be caused by improper installation, improper operation, lack of maintenance or improper fuel usage.
Damage caused from overfiring is NOT covered under the manufacturer’s limited warranty.
11. NEVER LEAVE AN UNATTENDED WOODSTOVE BURNING ON HIGH. Operation of the woodstove with the
primary air control at its highest burn rate setting for extended periods can cause dangerous overfiring conditions. The
primary air control should only be positioned at the highest setting during start-up procedures and for short durations.
If leaving the woodstove unattended, ensure that the primary air control is set to the low or medium low range.
12. Use the metal ash drawer only to dispose of ashes.
13. IN THE EVENT OF A COMPONENT FAILURE, USE ONLY COMPONENTS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFAC-
TURER AS REPLACEMENT PARTS.
14. Burning any kind of fuel uses oxygen from the dwelling. Be sure that you allow an adequate source of fresh air into the
room where the woodstove is operating (see Ventilation and Fresh Air on page 9).
15. CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. An appliance hot enough to warm your home can severely burn anyone
touching it. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. Do not let children touch the
appliance. Train them to stay a safe distance from the unit.
16. Do not operate this appliance without the firebox baffle brick properly installed.
17. Build fires directly upon the brick surface inside the woodstove. Do not use grates, irons or any other method to elevate
the fire.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
See the listing label located on the back of woodstove (or see Safety on page 18).
It is highly recommended to install a smoke detector in the home when installing a wood stove.
