• Do not operate without fully assembling all components.
• Do not let the appliance become hot enough for any part to glow red.
• Do not install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.
• Risk of cuts and abrasions. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal edges may be sharp.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers, young children
and others may be susceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recommended if there are at risk individuals
in the house. To restrict access to an appliance or stove, install an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and
other at risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.
• Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance. Objects placed in front of the appliance
must be kept a minimum of 48” away from the front face of the appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
• Ensure you have incorporated adequate safety measure to protect infants / toddlers from touching hot surfaces.
• Even after the appliance is out, all surfaces, including the glass and/or any attachment will remain hot for an extended period
of time.
• Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety hearth guards to protect children from hot surfaces. These guards
must be fastened to a wall and/or to the floor.
• Any safety guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
• Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified.
• This appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue pipe servicing a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
• Do not operate the appliance with the glass door removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a
licensed or qualified service person.
• Do not strike or slam shut the appliance glass door.
• Operate only with the doors tightly closed.
• Stove will over-fire if door is not shut and latched.
• Only certified doors / optional fronts / and surrounds for inserts with the unit are to be installed on the appliance.
• Keep the packaging material out of reach of children and dispose of the material in a safe manner. As with all plastic bags,

this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
• Your appliance requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Failure to maintain your appliance may lead to smoke spillage in
your home.
• Higher efficiencies and lower emissions will generally result when burning air dried seasoned woods, as compared to wet,
green or freshly cut wood. Burning wet unseasoned wood can cause excessive creosote accumulation. When ignited it can
cause a chimney fire that may result in a serious house fire.
• The appliance is designed to burn natural wood only. Do not burn treated wood, coal, charcoal, colored paper, cardboard,
solvents or garbage.
• Burn wood directly on the firebricks. Do not use a grate or elevate the fire.
• Do not store wood within appliance installation clearances or within the space required for re-fueling and ash removal.
• Ashes must be disposed in a metal container with a tight lid and placed on a non-combustible surface well away from the
home or structure until completely cool.

disposed of by burial in soil or
otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in
the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly
cooled. Other waste shall not
be placed in this container.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS cont.
It is recommended to install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors where heaters are
installed. 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.
DO NOT OVER FIRE THIS
HEATER. Attempts to
achieve heat output rates
that exceed heater design
specifications can result in
permanent damage to the
heater and to the catalytic
combustor. Over firing the
appliance may cause a house
fire. Never burn the stove so
hot that the stove or chimney
connector begins to glow.

COMBUSTION AIR
Ensure adequate combustion air allowing for all other exhausting type appliances in the dwelling (range hoods,
dryers, etc.). In air tight homes and modern constructions, careful considerations must be taken into account
when using a wood burning appliance. Heat recovery ventilators (HRV) systems along with constant running
pan motors in air handlers must be taken into account when balancing the system. Failure to do so may result in
air starvation, smoke spillage and carbon monoxide threats. Consult a HVAC specialist for proper installation.
Ensure adequate combustion air allowing for all other exhausting type appliances in the dwelling (range hoods,
dryers, etc.). In airtight houses it is recommended to install a fresh air inlet into the room where the stove is
located, to prevent air starvation.
DRAFT
Dra in the chimney system is initiated by the air pressure dierence between the top and bottom of the
chimney. Heat generated within the rebox will rise and accelerate the dra in the chimney. Recommended
dra is .05 in. w.c. operated on high. Too little dra results in a sluggish re and smoke spillage into the room
when the stove door is opened. Too much dra (over 0.06 in. w.c.) makes it unsafe to operate the stove and will
void manufacturers warranty.
ROLE OF THE CHIMNEY
Without a proper installed chimney, this appliance will not burn correctly.
e role of the chimney is to pull the proper amount of air into the rebox for the purpose of complete
combustion. Incomplete combustion will lead to more smoke and pollution of the outside air. A proper
operating chimney will allow the user to enjoy peak performance at all burn operating levels from low to high.
Blaze King therefore recommends vertical installations with a minimum length of 15’ from stove top to chimney
cap. In insert applications Blaze King recommends insulated liners into all existing chimneys.

INSPECT CHIMNEY
Before connecting any wood-burning unit to an existing chimney, inspect the chimney to be sure that it is in
good condition. ere must be no cracks or holes. e cross-sectional area can dier from the ue collar as long
as sucient draw is maintained and local codes and jurisdiction are observed.. A proper chimney is crucial for
safe, satisfactory operation of any wood heating system. Relining or rebuilding may be necessary to make the
chimney safe, ecient, and in conformity with local codes.
Masonry Chimneys that have a very large cross-section , particularly exterior chimneys, may experience poor
dra and may require relining to reduce the cross-section-and provide a proper dra. is is also an ideal time
to clean the existing chimney. For peak eciency, a clean chimney ue is essential. A qualied professional
chimney sweep can perform both inspection and cleaning. If you choose to clean your own chimney use the
proper tools. Homemade cleaners may damage your chimney.
PLANNING STOVE PLACEMENT
Check the replace and insert dimensions to ensure the insert will t properly. While planning your installation
keep in mind the required clearances as shown on the stove label.
Plan ahead to be certain that furniture will have ample clearance, and that drapes and curtains cannot come in
contact with the room heater. Refer to the approval label on the stove for correct clearances to combustibles.
is stove must be connected to a chimney. It must be vented to the outside.
NEVER PERMIT YOUR STOVE TO VENTILATE INTO ANY ROOM IN THE BUILDING
.
Consult the stove label to ensure that you install your stove the proper minimum distances from combustible
materials.
Minimum replace opening size is 25” (w) x 23” (h) x 12.5”(d)
Electrical Power - e stove is equipped with a fan assembly with a seven-foot electrical cord. Do not route the
cord in front of the stove.

STOVE ASSEMBLY
1. Carefully remove and inspect the insert parts in
the shipping packages. e parts should include
the 2 shroud side panels, 1 shroud top panel, 1
shroud outer trim package, 1 shroud convection
deck, 2 #6-32 screws. (see Fig. 1)
2. Place the replace insert on the work area. Note:
is unit is shipped without any shroud parts
in place. Attach the two-shroud side panels to
the unit by loosening the screws on the covers
on either side of the unit and sliding the shroud
sides between the covers and the unit. Retighten
the screws. (see Fig. 2)
3. Exact placement of the insert is determined
by the overall shape of your replace opening
and surround etc. First determine whether
you will need leveling bolts installed or other
devices to ensure a proper level installation of
the unit. is is determined by your replace
construction. Sometimes the hearth is raised
from the bottom of the replace and sometimes
it is lowered. Only use non-combustible
material to ll any space under the insert
(such as rebricks) to support the bottom of
the rebox. e insert must sit level with, or
slightly higher than, the hearth front. On each
corner of the underside of the replace insert
there is a 3/8” NC nut. If required a 3/8” bolt of
determined length can be threaded into these
nuts to assist in leveling the unit.
NOTE: Blaze King strongly recommends
that you install a complete insulated
stainless steel flue liner system. This
is the safest installation and will ensure
proper draft control for ideal and
consistent burn times. An approved
liner system is required by code for all
installations in Canada. The installation
codes in some USA locations do not
require a full insulated stainless steel
liner system, but it is recommended.

4. Slide the unit into the replace opening and
attach the chimney liner or ue connector
system as required. Work through the opening
above the unit where the top shroud panel will
t. If access to the ue outlet on the insert is
restricted by replace opening height you may
need to temporarily remove a side panel (as
tted in step 2) to allow enough work area to
properly connect the insulated stainless steel
ue liner. Depending upon the particular
installation the unit may need to be pulled out
slightly away from the front of the replace.
In some installations the leveling bolts might
make it dicult to slide the unit into a replace
with a rough hearth. We have provided two
metal strips approximately 3” x 16” to help with
this problem. Lay the strips down and slide the
unit on them. is may not be required in all
circumstances. If they are not required discard
the strips.
5. Assemble the shroud trim as shown in Fig. 3. It
will be attached to the unit during the next step.
6. Place the shroud top onto unit sliding it down so
the tabs on the back of the shroud top slide over
the tabs ange on the insert. (see Fig. 4)

CHIMNEY
FACTORY-BUILT FIREPLACE
In Canada and in the USA: is insert may be installed into a compliant factory built replace providing the
chimney is lined from the outlet of the insert to the top of the chimney using an insulated stainless steel liner
which meets UL1777 or ULC S635. e liner must be securely attached to both the insert and the chimney top.
In both Canada and the U.S.A. the existing replace damper must be secured in the open position. If this is
not possible the damper must be removed. Any openings between the masonry of the replace and the facing
masonry must be sealed.
THE FIREPLACE CANNOT BE MODIFIED IN ANY WAY TO FIT THE INSERT
GENERAL CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
Connect the venting system to the ue collar of the insert using three sheet metal screws. ere are three
predrilled holes in the ue collar. Place a bead of furnace cement around the ue collar connection to ensure the
ue pipe is properly connected, secured and sealed.
If this stove and its chimney components are not properly installed, a house re may result. For your safety,
follow the installation directions. Contact local building or re ocials about restrictions and installation
requirements in your area.
We recommend that the inside your chimney be at least the same diameter as the ue of your stove. If you
plan to use an existing masonry chimney, be sure it is free of cracks and loose joints. Gases traveling through a
chimney can reach extremely high temperatures. Cracks or loose mortar can allow hot gases to reach the wood
portion of the structure surrounding the chimney. ese toxic gases can also re-enter the house through cracks
and small holes in the chimney, or cause back-pung which will result in excessive smoking. Be on the safe
side and have your chimney inspected by a certied chimney sweep. A 6 inch insulated stainless steel chimney
liner with a direct connection to the stove is recommended for masonry chimney installations. A chimney must
extend at least three feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof and at least two feet higher
than any portion of the building within ten feet of the chimney. Smoke travels up the chimney in a circular,
spiraling motion. A 6 inch round insulated stainless steel liner allows the smoke to travel with less resistance. A
rough masonry chimney without a good smooth liner can result in the rapid build up creosote.
• BEFORE YOU BEGIN CHECK ALL LOCAL CODES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING
YOUR INSTALLATION.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
YOUR FIRST FIRE!
e following pages contain information on the major components and operation of your stove. Please take time
to read about them as it will give you a better understanding of how your stove works. is understanding will
help you to operate your stove properly thus will extend the life of your stove and allow you to get the highest
eciencies from your stove.
THERMOSTAT
e thermostat knob is located on the right side of the stove. It controls the burn rate of the stove
Any thermostat position between LOW and HIGH will produce the desired clean burning characteristics.
However, since each installation is dierent, you may nd it necessary to operate the thermostat to suit your
situation. A HIGH thermostat setting will produce maximum heat which is more than suitable for heating the
average size home. All adjustments to the thermostat should be done gradually. When you rst light the stove
set the thermostat to HIGH setting for 20-30 minutes,
or until the re is well established. Once the re is
established turn the thermostat to MED for 5 minutes
and then to a LOW setting or the desired setting. Too
rapid an adjustment may cause the stove to operate
improperly. e most common mistake new owners make
is continually adjusting the thermostat.
BYPASS
Most catalytic wood burning appliances have a bypass
device to allow the smoke from the re to temporarily
bypass, or go around, the catalytic combustor. e bypass
door is located inside the rebox at the top of the stove.
e bypass is a steel plate door, hinged inside the stove,
and is controlled by the bypass handle on the right side
of the stove. When the handle is up, the bypass is open,
when the handle is down, the bypass is closed. NEVER
OPEN THE LOADING DOOR WITHOUT OPENING THE
BYPASS DOOR
Note: To ensure the bypass is closed push down on the
bypass handle until you hear a positive click.
CATALYTIC THERMOMETER
is thermometer is located on the top of the stove. It’s purpose is to show you if the
combustor is active. Always operate the stove in the “active” zone. When the combustor is
not active the stove will emit smoke and will not be ecient. For an accurate reading, turn
fans o for approximately 10 minutes and then read the thermometer.

SELECTING WOOD
• THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BURN NATURAL WOOD ONLY. DO NOT BURN
TREATED WOOD, COAL, CHARCOAL, COLORED PAPER, CARDBOARD, SOLVENTS OR
GARBAGE.
• HIGHER EFFICIENCIES AND LOWER EMISSIONS WILL GENERALLY RESULT WHEN
BURNING AIR DRIED SEASONED WOODS, AS COMPARED TO WET, GREEN OR
FRESHLY CUT WOODS.
• BURNING WET UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE
ACCUMULATION. WHEN IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT
IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.
Use dry seasoned wood, split and stacked and protected from rain for at least 24 months with a moisture content
of 20% or lower. It takes a great deal of energy to evaporate the moisture contained in green wood and that
energy will not be heating your house. Also, green or wet wood will greatly increase creosote problems. e
only accurate method to determine moisture content in wood is to use a moisture meter.
Never burn salt-water driwood. It is very corrosive and will damage the rebox. Burning salty wood also voids
the warranty.
is controlled combustion rebox has been designed for high eciency and long burn times. e proper time
to add more wood is when the last charge has been reduced to a glowing charcoal bed and while the catalytic
thermometer is still active range. ere will be very little smoke at this stage in the burn cycle.
Both hardwood and sowood burn equally well in this appliance but hardwood, which is more dense, will weigh
more per cord and burn a little slower and longer.
Firewood should be split and stacked in a manner that air can get to all parts of it and covered in early spring to
be ready for burning that fall.
The only accurate way to determine wood moisture is to purchase a moisture meter.
• NEVER START A FIRE UNLESS ALL BRICKS ARE CORRECTLY PLACED INSIDE THE
FIREBOX. CHECK THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
• ALWAYS OPEN THE BYPASS DOOR BEFORE OPENING THE LOADING DOOR.
• ONCE THE LOADING DOOR IS CLOSED, CLOSE THE BYPASS DOOR DIRECTLY AFTER
THE CATALYTIC THERMOSTAT NEEDLE IS IN THE ACTIVE ZONE.
