1. All warranties by the manufacturer are set herein and no claim shall be made against the
manufacturer on any oral warranty or representation. All claims under this Limited Warranty must be
made in writing by your dealer.
2. Any stove or part thereof that is repaired or replaced during the Limited Warranty period will be
warranted under the terms of the Limited Warranty for a period not exceeding the remaining term of the
original Limited Warranty or six (6) months, whichever is longer.

reserves the option to repair or to replace the defective part(s) through an accredited distributor or
agent, provided the defective part is returned to the distributor or agent, transportation prepaid, if
requested.
4. If you discover a problem that you think may be covered by the Limited Warranty, you MUST REPORT
it to your Blaze King dealer WITHIN 30 DAYS from the date the problem was first detected, giving them
proof of purchase and the date of purchase. The dealer will investigate the problem and work with Blaze
King to determine whether the problem:

has the responsibility and the expense of removing it from their home and shipping it to Blaze King. If
the problem is covered by the Warranty, Blaze King will repair or replace the item at their discretion and
the customer will be responsible for return shipping and re-installation in their home.

SAFETY
CHIMNEY FIRE
In the event of a fire in the chimney:
a. Adjust the thermostat to its lowest setting.
b. Check the Loading Door to be sure it is tightly closed.
c. Get everyone out of the house.
d. Call the Fire Department immediately. After the fire is out, have your chimney inspected by a Building Inspector
or certified chimney sweep. Any damaged chimney components should be replaced before the stove is used
again. A masonry chimney that is damaged should be repaired or rebuilt.
Contact you Fire Department for further advice. Your family should have a prearranged plan so that each person
will know what to do and will act immediately if such an emergency arises.
SMOKE DETECTORS
Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home to ensure your safety. It should be located away
from the wood stove and close to the sleeping areas. Locating a smoke detector too close to a wood stove can
cause the smoke detector alarm to sound if a puff of smoke is emitted while the wood stove door is open during
reloading. Follow the smoke detector manufacturers placement, installation, and maintenance instructions Your
local fire Department may provide assistance in selecting smoke detectors.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Every home should have at least one approved "Class A-B-C" fire extinguisher. It should be mounted on the wall,
near an exit and close to the stove but not so close that accessibility to the extinguisher could be blocked by a fire.
Your local fire department can advise you concerning the most appropriate location.
BUILDING AND FIRE CODES, PERMITS, AND INSPECTIONS
The installation of this wood stove must comply with you local building and fire codes. Always contact you local
Building Inspector and /or Fire Department before beginning the installation process. If required, obtain a permit
before installation and have the completed installation inspected. Remember that noncompliance with building and/
or fire codes may jeopardize your homeowner's insurance.
CHILDREN
Do not allow children to play near the stove or with the operating knobs. Severe burns may be inflicted by touching
some of the parts of the stove and by opening the loading door. Train children to stay away from the stove and
never leave children unattended in the room when the stove is in operation.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
For a safe installation, proper clearances to combustible materials must be observed (see pages 19 & 20). Failure
to follow these guidelines voids the certification and warranty, is illegal, and can result in a fire causing property
damage, injury, or death. Keep combustible (burnable) materials at least as far away form the wood stove as the
table on page 19 indicates. Combustible materials include items such as plasterboard or wood-paneled walls,
furniture, wooden mantles, bookshelves, carpets and drapes. Firewood should not be stored within the specified
clearances.
AVOID FIRE
Maintain the designated clearance distance to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. There must
be the designated air space clearance around the chimney. This air space around a chimney is necessary to allow
natural heat removal from area. Insulation is this space will cause a heat buildup which may ignite wood framing.
FUEL
THIS WOOD STOVE IS FOR USE WITH SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY.
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID TO
START OR 'FRESHEN UP' A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE
HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
Do not burn materials soaked in flammable liquids, trash, garbage, plastics, gift wrappings, coal, charcoal, naptha,
engine oil, chemical cleaners, chemical fire starters, treated or painted wood, saltwater drift wood, railroad ties,
plywood, particle board. Do not burn sawdust wood shavings or chips in this wood stove.
Blaze King,Royal Guardian, Model RGT-3001
OWNER'S INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
Page 10 Date Printed: Wednesday, November 07, 2012
OM-RGT.PUB
Version 1.03
When selecting wood for the Model RGT-3001, it is preferable that you use seasoned wood. Dry, seasoned wood
will burn cleaner and produce less creosote. Dry or small pieces of fuel will provide a hotter fire. Larger pieces can
be used to provide a longer burn time.
CAUTION: Do not place wood fuel within the space heater installation clearances or within the space required for
wood loading and ash removal.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a sealed non combustible container until they are thoroughly cooled. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible material pending final disposal. Once they are cooled
they can be disposed of by burial in soil or other suitable methods. Do not store other waste in the ash container.
Ashes should never be placed in wooden or plastic containers, or in paper or plastic bags, no matter how long the
fire has been out. Coals have been known to stay hot for several days when embedded in ashes.
WARNING REMOVE ASHES ONLY WHEN THEY ARE COOL. NEVER STORE HOT ASHES IN A GARAGE OR
BASEMENT. HOT ASHES WILL GENERATE CARBON MONOXIDE AND/OR FLAMMABLE GASES. THESE
GASES MAY CAUSE SUFFOCATION.
CHIMNEYS (See "Definitions" on page 8)
The use of make-shift chimney installation is not allowed. Before connecting a wood-burning unit to an existing
chimney, inspect the chimney to be sure it is in good condition. There should be no cracks or holes. Often it is
impossible to see these from the outside. A certified chimney sweep should inspect your chimney and give you an
accurate assessment of its condition. The cross-sectional area must not be less than that of the 6" diameter flue
collar (28.27 square inches). Relining or rebuilding may be necessary to make a Masonry Chimney safe. A proper
chimney is most important for safe, satisfactory operation of any wood heating system. Inspect the Chimney and
Chimney Connector (if installed) at least twice each month during the heating season. Any leak must be repaired or
it may admit more air and cause exhaust gasses to condense and form creosote. Patches of creosote in your
chimney indicates that such Leaks are present. If a significant amount of creosote has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. (See "Creosote and Soot Formation and Need for Removal", below)
"Never intentionally start a chimney fire to clean the flue."
CREOSOTE and SOOT FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to
form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The
Chimney and Chimney Connector should be inspected at least twice each month during the heating season to
determine if a creosote or soot build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce
the risk of a chimney fire. To control creosote build-up, It is preferable to build a small intense fire, rather than to
have a large smoldering one.
LOADING DOOR
Do not operate you stove with the loading door open. This stove is not designated or intended to be
operated with the loading door open. Do not leave your stove unattended when the loading door is not tightly
closed even when starting a fire. Leaving the loading door open AFTER the fire is well established can cause
overheating of the stove. Such overheating can cause the stove to warp.
Check the loading door gasket for deterioration at least twice each heating season. Inspect the gasket for physical
deterioration, missing sections or obvious leakage. To check the gasket further, insert a piece of paper into the
door opening and close and latch the door. Obvious resistance should be felt when pulling the paper out. Repeat
this check several times around the perimeter of the door.
