SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
Your new MODEL 74 is a non-catalytic unit designed to meet the most stringent emissions
standards without use of a catalytic combustor. This effect is achieved through use of
secondary air which is mixed with primary air in unit’s firebox.
For peak performance, we suggest use of natural seasoned hard wood, loading wood
length way from front to rear.
NOTE: Soft woods such as pine, create more creosote, clogging of chimney and produce a less
efficient burn performance.
You should not burn trash or garbage, artificial or paper logs, gift wrapping, treated or
painted wood or any type of coal or flammable fluids.
The primary air, which is controlled by user, burns wood. Secondary air is admitted into
firebox through secondary air tubes at top of firebox. This secondary air burns impurities in
smoke released from initial wood burning. The temperature necessary for this combustion is
maintained through firebrick refractory. If any more technical information is necessary,
contact your local dealer.
Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from
approximately 11,800 to 40,900 BTU/HR.
This unit may also be used with optional room air blower. To order optional motor assembly
you must specify stove model number and give following part number:
*Model 74: Motor Assembly—MA 5126715
For operation and use of this electrical assembly, see instructions provided with motor assembly
kit.

SECTION II
MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION
The Model 74 may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with
Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in
this type of installation is to determine acceptability of fireplace and chimney for use with a
woodstove. Both construction and condition of fireplace are important considerations when
installing a woodstove. The chimney should extend at least 3' above roof and at least 2' above
any point of roof within 10'.
CAUTION
REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY INSPECTED FOR LEAKS AND BLOCKAGE
BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR STOVE. “DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.”

1. The front of damper opening must be positioned
BEHIND rear edge of lintel to ensure proper draft.
(See Figure 2).
2. Center heater in fireplace opening.
MOUNTING TRIM PANELS
Afterunit is positioned, mark the mounting position of
the trim panels as follows:
1. Place side trim panels in place, flat against
face of fireplace. Mark down front edge of trim
panel with a pencil to make a vertical reference line.
(See Figure 3).
2. Place top (long) trim panel in place on top of unit.
The panel should be flat against outside face
of fireplace and standing vertically. Mark along
lower edge of trim panel with a pencil to make a
reference line for mounting.
3. Slide unit out of fireplace far enough to work
behind trim panel reference lines.

FIGURE 2 POSITIONING
4. Mount side trim panels. (See Figure 3).
a. Position trim panel on reference line.
b. Drill mounting holes in center of trim panel mounting brackets to allow for adjustment in and out if
necessary.
c. Mount trim panel using self-tapping screws provided.
5. Place top panel back on reference mark. Take top trim panel mounting bracket supplied with unit. Position
bracket so it overlaps rear lip of top trim panel. Drill mounting holes in top of stove using holes in bracket as
guide. Tighten down screws.
6. Now, follow installation procedures in listed direct connect or positive connect kit you are using and install
heater and connect kit in fireplace. If not using one of installation methods shown on
(Page 6). continue.
7. Slide unit back into fireplace. Check to be sure that trim panels are properly positioned and lie flat against
front of fireplace. If one or more of the panels is out of position, slide unit out and reset by
loosening mounting screws and repositioning in slot.
8. Reinstall top trim panel by sliding rear lip of top trim panel underneath front lip of mounting bracket already
secured to top of unit.

NOTE: Mount top trim panel so that it sits in front of top of side trim panels.
9. Obtain brass trim kit provided with insert kit and slip over top and sides of trim panels. Top ends of brass may
need to be trimmed to fit (See Figure 4).
10. Using insulation provided, peel and stick to back of panels overlapping fireplace dimensions by 1" on each
side and top. (See Figure 4A).
11. Next using high heat silicone or furnace cement run heavy bead of caulking around where panels meet
stove. (See Figure 4A).
12. Slide unit back into fireplace. Check to be sure that trim panels (and brass) are properly positioned and lie flat
against front of fireplace. If panels are out of position, slide unit out and reset by loosening mounting screws
and repositioning in the slot. With bar lift stove up in front. Place insulation across front and surface of
hearth or bottom of fireplace to make complete seal.
13. To check seal of panels, use candle flame and go around entire area sealed by silicone and insulation. If flame
leans toward inside of fireplace, add additional insulation. This ensures an airtight seal.
FINAL CHECK
1. Recheck specified clearances.
2. Remove all foreign material from firebox area.
3. Open primary air control
Primary Air Control: The primary air intake draft control is located at center of hearth. It is
operated by moving handle out to open (to allow air into the firebox) or in (to control or close off) air into
firebox. (See Figure 4).
4. Plug power cord into a 115V AC outlet if optional motor is being used. “Do not run power cord under unit
or in high traffic areas.”
5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in stove. Light it and close door. Ensure that stove draws properly
through primary draft.
NOTE: “Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on inner bottom of fire box.”
6. Check for smoke leaks around the door.
7. Open door and check for smoke escaping from front of stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly
positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting newspaper and
holding it near open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be
obtained.
If a thorough review of Troubleshooting Guide in rear of manual does not reveal the problem, contact
your dealer for assistance.

Chimney
This model is designed for connection to any listed 2100º UL103 HT chimneys and parts.
Follow chimneys manufacturer's instructions carefully.
This room heater must be converted to (1) a chimney complying with the requirements for
Type HT chimneys in the Standard for chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential, Type and
Building Heating Appliance, UL 103, or (2) a code approved masonry chimney with a flue
liner.
Floor Protection:
Floor protection must be 3/8” minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.
How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness
An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements listed
in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure:
1. Convert specification to R-value:
R-value is given—no conversion is needed.
K– factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
C-factor is given: R=1/C
2. Determine R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”
For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value.
3. If the overall R-value of the system is grater than the R-value of the specified floor
protector, the alternate is acceptable.
Example:
The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material with a K-factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternate is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a
K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value. R= 1/K x T = 1/0.84 x .75 =
0.893
Page 12

Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system. 4” brick of C=1.25, therefore Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25
=0.80 1/8” mineral board of K = 0.29, therefore Rmin.bd. =1/029 x0.125 = 0.431
Step (c): Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed
system R is greater than required , the system is acceptable.
