SAFETY INFORMATION
If the information in these instructions are not followed exactly, a
fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal
injury or death.
Please read entire manual before you install and use your heater.
This heater has not been tested with an unvented gas log set. To
reduce risk of fire or injury, do not install an unvented gas log set
into the heater.
- This heater can be very hot when burning.
- Combustible materials such as firewood, wet clothing, etc. placed too
close can catch fire.
- Children and pets must be kept from touching the heater when it is
hot.
- The chimney must be sound and free of cracks. Before installing
this unit, contact the local building or fire authority and follow their
guidelines.
- Operate only with the doors tightly closed.
- Burn wood behind the log retainer directly on the firebricks.
- Do not use an elevated grate or otherwise raise the fire.
- This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies
and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned
hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut
hardwoods.
- Do not start a fire with chemicals or fluids such as gasoline, engine
oil, etc.
- Do not burn treated wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper, cardboard,
solvents or garbage.
- Do not let the heater become hot enough for any part to glow red.
- KEEP STOVE TOP TEMPERATURES BELOW 700°F (371°C). Attempts
to achieve heat output rates that exceed design specifications can
result in metal distortion and damage.

2.3 GENERAL INFORMATION
This is the most efficient, simple and trouble free wood burning system
we know of and works as follows:
The chimney vent system used on your wood burning appliance should be
designed with the least amount of restriction possible to enable the exhaust
products to easily flow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too short
or too long can also have an adverse affect on the flow of exhaust through
it. The wood burning appliance and chimney vent system also require a
sufficient supply of combustion air not only to support the combustion in
the combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it so it can flow
freely up through the vent system and out into the atmosphere. It is the cor-
rect balance of combustion air and the chimney vent system that will ensure
the appliance provides you with its optimum performance.
Primary combustion air enters through the air control inlet box regulated by a draft control, travels up the side
through a duct and enters the top centre of the combustion chamber into a preheating airwash located across
the top and then down the window to feed the fire and also to ensure that the glass remains clean.
Secondary air feeds directly into the combustion chamber at hearth level through the log retainer and also
through inlets located at the bottom back corners of the combustion chamber. This air travels up the riser to the
four secondary air tubes located at the top and shoots out laterally to oxidize the gases rising to the smoke exit.
The combustion chamber is lined with high-temperature firebrick on all sides, and across the bottom to main-
tain a high temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing with the preheated air from the
secondary air tubes are easily ignited and burned. The appliance sides and back permit a zero clearance
installation and direct the heat upwards and forwards into the room. Be sure to provide sufficient combustion
air. There are many other appliances in your home competing for air such as a kitchen range hood, forced air
heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.
If the outside air feature is utilized, you will never experience a shortage of combustion air. If you choose not to
utilize outside air and experience draft or smoking problems, you may need to open a door or window.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance
may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the firebox burning off. Open a
window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
All venting connections must be in compliance with the chimney manufacturers installation instructions.
Clearances referred to throughout this manual are the minimum requirements.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
It is recommended that in all cases, the appliance be secured to the floor. Use the pallet packing brackets to
accomplish this.
Mobile home installation requires that the appliance be secured to the floor. It is recommended that in all
cases, the appliance be secured to the floor. Use the pallet packing brackets to accomplish this.

FIVE OPTIONS:
To operate this hi-efficiency appliance as a basic system, the blower is not required, however, to enhance its
efficiency a blower is recommended.
A BLOWER KIT (NZ62):
This blower is installed in the bottom of the appliance and used to direct the heat into the room where the appli-
ance is located. The blower is controlled, by a variable speed switch, located inside the appliance.
A THERMOSTATIC AIR CONTROL (NZ690KT):
This may be used for constant heat, complete with automatic damper and thermostat, wall mounted in the
room containing the appliance, and at least 10 feet (minimum) from the appliance.
A HOT AIR GRAVITY VENT SYSTEM (NZ220):
This may be used to distribute heat to an adjoining room (located either above, or beside the room containing
the appliance) by way of vents, eliminating the need of an additional blower. While this system may be used in
conjunction with the optional blowers, it could reduce the flow of hot air being distributed to additional rooms.
It must be experimented with and the dampers adjusted manually to suit your requirements. This may take a
few attempts; thereafter adjustments should no longer be required as is normally experienced with your central
heating system registers.
NOTE: The heat shield cover plate must be removed before installing the gravity vent. The hot air vent
must be installed in an upward direction! NEVER install in a downward direction. The hot air grav-
ity vent system is not to be connected to a cen-
tral heating system (for this application use the
NZ62CH). This option may not be used in mobile
homes.
No more than two hot air gravity vents can be installed
to appliance. Individual vent runs are not to exceed 10
feet. All hot air gravity vents must be insulated.
A central heating system (NZ62CH):
This may be used to heat rooms up to 50 feet from the appliance. A
wall mounted thermostat located in the room to be heated controls the
blower supplying warm air from the room containing the appliance.
If a hot air duct system exists, the central heat blower may safely be
tied into this system to reduce the amount of new ducting required.
Consult with a heating specialist to ensure a proper duct layout for
your home. If the NZ62CH is installed at the bottom of the appliance, it
could introduce a cool draft into the room that the appliance is installed
in.
When attached to the top or sides of the appliance, it pro-
vides a higher heat output. This option may not be used in
mobile homes.
A HOT AIR DISTRIBUTION KIT (GA-566):
This may be used to distribute warm air from the appliance
base (only) into a separate location in the home.
These options may be incorporated with one another. If the
optional blowers are to be installed, make provision during
framing to route a 110 volt power line to the appliance. De-
tailed installation instructions are included with each venting
kit.

!
WARNING
WEAR GLOVES AND SAFETY GLASSES FOR PROTECTION.
CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY OF THE PIPE AND OTHER PARTS
NEEDED TO INSTALL THE APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A FIRE, ESPECIALLY IF
COMBUSTIBLES ARE TOO CLOSE TO THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY AND AIR SPACES ARE
BLOCKED, PREVENTING THE FREE MOVEMENT OF COOLING AIR.
DO NOT DRAW OUTSIDE AIR FROM GARAGE SPACES. EXHAUST PRODUCTS OF GASOLINE ENGINES ARE
HAZARDOUS.
DO NOT INSTALL OUTSIDE AIR DUCTS SUCH THAT THE AIR MAY BE DRAWN FROM ATTIC SPACES, BASEMENTS
OR ABOVE THE ROOFING WHERE OTHER HEATING APPLIANCES OR FANS AND CHIMNEYS EXHAUST OR UTILIZE
AIR. THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF APPLIANCE SMOKING OR AIR FLOW REVERSAL.
THE OUTSIDE AIR INLET MUST REMAIN CLEAR OF LEAVES, DEBRIS ICE AND/OR SNOW. IT MUST BE UNRE-
STRICTED WHILE APPLIANCE IS IN USE TO PREVENT ROOM AIR STARVATION WHICH CAN CAUSE SMOKE SPILL-
AGE AND AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN A FIRE. SMOKE SPILLAGE CAN ALSO SET OFF SMOKE ALARMS.
NEGATIVE PRESSURE WITHIN YOUR HOME MAY INADVERTENTLY AFFECT YOUR APPLIANCE.
TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH SAGGING OR LOOSE INSULATION, THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED
AGAINST VAPOUR BARRIERS OR EXPOSED INSULATION. LOCALIZED OVERHEATING COULD OCCUR AND A FIRE
COULD RESULT.
DO NOT USE MAKESHIFT COMPROMISES DURING INSTALLATION. DO NOT BLOCK OR RESTRICT AIR, GRILLE OR
LOUVRE OPENINGS. DO NOT ADD A HOOD.
KEEP HAND TOOLS IN GOOD CONDITION, SHARPEN CUTTING EDGES AND MAKE SURE TOOL HANDLES ARE
SECURE.
ALWAYS MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM AIR SPACE REQUIRED TO THE ENCLOSURE TO PREVENT FIRES.
3.1 LOCATION AND CLEARANCES
Do not build shelves or cupboards into the area above the appliance.
While the appliance can be installed directly on the floor, a non-combustible hearth extension is required in
front of the appliance, that must not be built higher than the bottom of the appliance to avoid air flow blockage.
It may therefore be advisable to build the appliance on a raised platform. The minimum distance between the
edge of the appliance and any adjacent wall, at right angles to it, is 21". A wall projecting at 45° from the outer
edge of the appliance is allowed; projections into this area are permitted. Do not install into any area having a
height less than 7 feet (ceiling to appliance base, excluding hearth height). See "FRAMING" section. The loca-
tion of windows, doors and the traffic flow in the room where the appliance is to be located should be consid-
ered. If possible, you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through the house without cutting
a floor or roof joist.
For minimum clearance to combustibles, see "FRAMING" section.
DO NOT INSTALL INTO ANY AREA HAVING A HEIGHT LESS THAN 7 FEET (CEILING OF ENCLOSURE TO
APPLIANCE BOTTOM, EXCLUDING HEARTH HEIGHT).
