ank you for purchasing a Blaze King catalytic wood burning stove.
is owner's manual explains the steps required to safely assemble, install, operate, and maintain
your new stove. Please carefully read these requirements for safe installation and proper operation
before installing and using your stove.
Obtain permits from the Building Inspector or Fire Department, if local laws require. Check local
building and re codes before installing your stove. When you have completed the installation,

trouble-free operation.
While we have made every eort to make these instructions as complete as possible, some
