Introducing Your
Mansfield Wood Stove
Congratulations! You have just invested in a most unique
wood burning stove –the Mansfield Wood Burning Stove
from HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products Inc®.
The Mansfield, model 8011, is our largest and one of the
cleanest burning, EPA certified, non-catalytic wood
burning stoves. At 3.2 cubic feet capacity and 2.8 grams
per hour particulate you can be proud to join the
HearthStone family with our Premier Wood Burning
Stove. The generous depth allows for straight in loading
of wood up to 20 inches long!
Your purchase insures years of clean, comfortable heat
with minimal maintenance. You will receive the benefits
of the most advanced technology in wood burning without
the cost and maintenance requirements of a catalytic
stove. The Mansfield blends modern technology with the
unique beauty and heating qualities of soapstone
(traditionally renowned for its even heat production and
long heat retaining ability). We trust that you will
appreciate the quality of our handcrafted product.
Please read this manual in its entirety. Its purpose is to
familiarize you with your stove's safe installation, proper
break-in, operation and maintenance. It contains
information that will be useful to you now and in years to
come, so keep it handy and refer to it as needed.
Use these instructions as well as national, state, and local
building codes to install your stove. Be sure to maintain
the designated stovepipe and stove clearances to walls,
ceilings, hearth, and other combustible surfaces. This will
help reduce the risk of fire. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in property damage, bodily injury,
and even death.
Locate your stove in a safe, convenient, open area; away
from traffic flow, doors, and hallways; and near a
chimney and chimney connector. Review the proper
clearance measurements from combustible surfaces. You
can safely reduce required clearances in most cases with a
special connector pipe and special wall coverings as
specified by this manual, the NFPA 211 codes, and your
local authorities having jurisdiction.
Keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and other
combustibles far away from the stove. Never install the
stove in a location where gasoline, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid or other flammable liquids are used or stored.
Locate the stove centrally in your living area to allow the
heat to travel naturally to distant rooms. We recommend
that you do not locate your stove inan uninsulated
basement. The amount of radiant energy required to heat
concrete basement walls is so great that most of the usable
heat is absorbed by them and lost.
SAFETY NOTICE:
A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT IF THIS
STOVE IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, CAREFULLY
FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL
BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION
INSPECTION IN YOUR AREA.

Make sure to install your stove:
qAccording to the manufacturer's recommendations.
qIn accordance with all applicable codes.
qWith the proper sized chimney.
When using your stove:
qWarn children and others unfamiliar with woodstoves
of the danger of touching hot, radiating surfacesof
your stove. For your additional safety, obtain hearth
and stove guards through your local dealer.
qFollow recommended break-in procedure as outlined
in this manual.
qBurn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and
lower emissions result when burning air-dried,
seasoned wood, as compared to green or freshly cut
wood.
qUse caution when loading firewood into a hot stove.
qKeep the ash pan tray fully inserted and the ash door
closed tightly.
qInspect the stove pipe, chimney connector and
chimney, as recommended.
qBe sure the removable ash lip is in place while using

hearth may exceed safe temperatures.
Follow these safety precautions:
qNever modify this stove in any way, especially the
primary air control system.
qNever burn kiln dried wood, painted or treated wood,
solvents, trash, plywood, colored or glossy paper,
artificial logs, cardboard, coal, garbage or driftwood.
Especially, do not burn coal in this stove.
qNever Use gasoline type fuel, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid, or other liquid fuels or solid fire starters
to start or invigorate the fire. These fuels can
possibly generate carbon monoxide, which can
deplete the supply of oxygen. Keep all such
materials away from the stove.
qNever usethe stove if the ash pan door is open,
damaged, not in place, or not sealing.
qNever use a wood grate or other device to elevate the
fire.
qDo Not allow logs to rest against or otherwise come
in contact with the glass when the door is closed.
qDo Not slamthe door or use it to force wood in to the
stove.
qNever over-fire your stove. (See page 17)
qNever put articles of clothing or candles on a hot

PERIODIC CHECKLIST
Perform each of these tasks at the specified intervals.
At the End of Every Week:
•Empty ashes from the firebox and ash pan, sooner if
the firebox or the ash pan begin to fill up.
At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
•A visual inspection of the chimney connector and
chimney for creosote is recommended depending
upon the use of your stove. (Please see page 18-
Creosote Formation and Need For Removal)
•Check door seals using the "dollar bill test."-When
the fire is out and the stove is cool, shut the door on a
dollar bill. If the bill pulls out without any resistance,
then your stove’s door isn't sealed properly. To
tighten the seal, change the door gasket. (Refer to
page 18 –Gaskets)
At the End of Every Season:
•Dismantle the chimney connector and clean it
thoroughly. Replace any pieces that show signs of
rust or deterioration.
•Inspect and, if necessary, clean your chimney.
•Thoroughly clean out the inside of the stove.
•Inspect all door gasket material and replace if worn,
frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If you have a stovepipe or chimney fire, follow these
instructions:
1. Call the fire department–immediately!
2. If the fire is too threatening, leave the area and wait
for the fire department. If not, perform the next three
steps.
3. Close the primary air control. (see page 14)
4. Close the stovepipe damper (if present).
5. Keep the stove front, side and ash doors closed!
¦WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT OUT A STOVEPIPE
OR CHIMNEY FIRE BY THROWING WATER
ONTO THE STOVE, STOVEPIPE, OR
CHIMNEY. THE EXTREMELY HIGH
TEMPERATURE ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH
FIRES CAN CAUSE INSTANTANEOUS STEAM
AND SERIOUS BODILY HARM.
Once the chimney fire has expired, leave the primary air
control closed and let the fire in the stove die out
completely. The stove should not be fired again until the
stove, stovepipe, and chimney are all thoroughly
inspected for any sign of damage. You must correct any
damage before using your stove again.

Setting Up Your
Mansfield Wood Stove
UNPACKING
HearthStone Stoves packages your Mansfield stove with
the greatest care, so that it ships safely. Under certain
circumstances, however, damage can occur during transit
and handling. When you receive your stove, unpack it
carefully, inspecting your stove and all parts for damage.
Also, make sure that all parts are included in the box. If
any parts are damaged or missing, please contact your
dealer immediately.
INSTALLING YOUR STOVE
First you must decide where your stove will reside. After
choosing an appropriate spot, inspect this location to
make sure that the stove will have enough clearance to
combustible materials that would surround the stove.
These combustibles can include walls, floor, ceiling,
fireplace, and chimney. You must carefully consider the
clearances to all of these combustibles before actually
connecting your stove. When considering these
clearances, also decide the kind of floor the stove will rest
on. Depending on your floor, you can install your stove
as it is, or use a floor protector.
Please use this section to plan how to locate your stove in
your particular location. Consider both the clearances of
the stovepipe and the stove itself to the surrounding
combustibles.
Read this chapter to obtain a sound understanding of how
to properly install your stove.
If you use a close clearance connector pipe, it must be
tested to UL standards and listed. Check the listing for
yourpipe for actual clearances. The diagrams in this
manual represent typical installations, but are specific to
the Simpson Dura-Vent DVL brand. Clearances cannot
be reduced without the use of close clearance connector
pipe and/or by protecting the surfaces per NFPA 211
standards.
Clearances To NFPA 211 Protected Surfaces
You can reduce the clearances to combustible surfaces by
using any National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA)
approved wall protection system. Please refer to NFPA
211 for specifications and complete details. You can
obtain this information directly from NFPA.

HEARTH REQUIREMENTS AND FLOOR
PROTECTION
If the floor is wood or other combustible flooring, the
stove must be placed on non-combustible floor protection
that extends 16 inches to the frontand 8 inches to either
side of the front door opening.
The unit must be placed on a non-combustible floor
protector that extends16”in front and 6”to each side of
the unit. If installed in an alcove at reduced clearances
with NFPA 211 wall protection, the area in front of the
unit must have an additional insulative R-value of .8, or a
listed floor protection must be used.
The floor protector for the stove must have minimum
dimensions of 34-1/2” x 46” (876 x 1168 mm) and must
be placed as illustrated here:
FLOOR PROTECTOR SIZE AND
STOVE TO EDGE CLEARANCE
From fuel door
opening
The chimney connector must also have floor protection
under it, and extending 2 inches (50 mm) beyond each
side.

HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products Inc®Mansfield Model 8011

OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY
An outside air source may be connected directly to this
stove using an outside air kit (90-57004). The advantage
of providing outside air directly to the stove is that the air
used by the stove for combustion is taken from outside of
the residence rather than from within the room where the
stove is located. With outside air supplied directly to the
stove, drafts within the room and air infiltration within the
building are reduced. Use of the outside air kit may also
improve stove performance in a particularly air-tight
house.
The outside air kit for this stove allows for the direct
connection of the stove's air intake to a minimum 3" (76
mm) diameter duct (supplied by others) which leads to the
outside of the house. When considering placement of the
duct from the outside of the house to the hearth, keep in
mind the need to avoid structural members of the house.
See illustration for all connection options. Choose the
one most convenient. The termination of the duct on the
outside wall of the stove should be located in such a
manner so as to preclude the possibility of obstruction by
snow, leaves or other material and should be screened
against animals and insects.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
Please use this section to plan the layout for your
stove. Consider clearance of pipe to combustibles
and stove to combustibles. More specifics on
installation follow.
You must follow minimum clearances for the Mansfield
stove to combustibles such as walls and ceilings. You may
reduce the general clearances if installing the stove near
Protected Surfaces (see ”CLEARANCES TO NFPA 211

•Single wall connector is 24 MSG or 25 MSG blued
steel stove pipe.
•Double wall connector (close clearance pipe) which
must be used with a listed factory-built “Type HT"
chimney and may also be used with a masonry
chimney to reduce clearances, is available from
several manufacturers, your dealer can help you
choose. Some air insulated connector pipe models
available are Simpson Dura Vent DVL and
Metalbestos DS. Security, GSW and Ameritec also
have acceptable close clearance connector pipe.
•When used in a mobile home, a spark arrester is
required. (See page 13)
•Chimney connector shall not pass through floor or
ceiling, nor any attic or roof space, closet or similar
concealed space. Where passage through a wall or
partition of combustible construction is desired, the
installation shall conform with NFPA 211 or
CAN/CSA -B365.
•It is very important to follow minimum clearances for
chimney connectors to combustibles such as walls,
ceilings, and when installing the stove near non-
combustible surfaces. Typical chimney connector

VENTING COMPONENTS AND CONFIGURATION
COMPONENTS OF A VENTING SYSTEM
The complete venting system consists of several
components: chimney connector, wall thimble, wall pass-
through, chimney, and liner. It is absolutely necessary
that you install all of these components within the
clearances to combustibles discussed earlier to install
your stove safely.
To protect against the possibility of a house fire, youmust
properly install and constantly maintain the venting
system. Upon inspection, immediately replace rusted,
cracked, or broken components.
•The chimney connectoris the stovepipe from the
woodstove to the chimney. The chimney connector
stovepipe must be 6" (152 mm) diameter, 24 MSG or
25 MSG blued steel connector pipe. Do not use
aluminum or galvanized steel pipe -they cannot
withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire.
•A thimble is a manufactured (or site-constructed)
device installed in combustible walls through which
the chimney connector passes to the chimney. It
keeps the walls from igniting. You must use a wall
thimble when installing a chimney connector through
a combustible wall to the chimney.
•A wall pass-through (or chimney support package)
also keeps the walls from igniting. You must use one
when connecting through a wall or ceiling to a
prefabricated chimney.
•Only install this stove to a lined masonry chimney or
an approved high temperature prefabricated
residential type building heating appliance chimney.
Do not connect this stove to a chimney serving
another appliance; you will compromise the safe
operation of both the wood stove and the connected
appliance.
¦WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO ANY
AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
•A liner is the UL 1777 or ULC S635 (for factory
built fireplace or masonry) chimney.
You must connect your stove to a chimney comparable to
those recommended in this manual. Do not use stovepipe
as a chimney. Use stovepipe for freestanding installations
only to connect the stove to a proper chimney.
INSTALLING A VENTING SYSTEM
Stovepipe sections must be attached to the stove and to
each other with the crimped end toward the stove. If
creosote builds up, this allows the creosote torun into the
stove and not the outside of the stovepipe and onto the
stove.
Secure all joints, including attaching the stovepipe to the
stove's flue collar, with three sheet metal screws. Install
#10 x 1/2" (3 mm x 13 mm) sheet metal screws into the
holes pre-drilled in the flue collar. Leaving off the screws
can cause joints to separate from the vibration that results
from a creosote chimney fire.
You can simplify connecting stovepipe by using
additional accessories such as telescoping pipes, slip-
connectors or clean-out tees. These accessories ease the
inspection of your chimney, as well as allow you to easily
dismantle the stovepipe (without moving the stove) when
you periodically inspection the stovepipe connection and
chimney.
Install the stove as close as practical to the chimney,
while maintaining all proper clearances. Install stovepipe
that is as short and as straight as possible. Horizontal runs
of stovepipe should always rise away from the stove a
minimum of 1/4" per foot (21mm/m).
Long runs of stovepipe to increase heat dispersal are not
recommended. Using longer lengths of stovepipe or more
connecting elbows than necessary increase the chances of
draft resistance and the accumulation of creosote buildup.
In general, you do not needto install a stovepipe damper
with the Mansfield. Some installations, however, could
benefit from a stovepipe damper, such as a tall chimney
which can create a higher than normal draft. In such
cases, a damper can help regulate the draft. The
Mansfield requires a draft between 0.06" wc and 0.1" wc.
For drafts above 0.1" wc, install a stovepipe damper.
Remember, the NFPA has recommended minimum
clearances for chimney connectors to combustibles such
as walls and ceilings. Once the stove is installed atsafe
distances from these combustible surfaces, it is important
to maintain these connector clearances for the remainder
of the installation.

HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products Inc®Mansfield Model 8011
11
CONNECTING YOUR WOOD STOVE
You can install your Mansfield to a prefabricated metal
chimney or a masonry chimney.
CONNECTING TO A PREFABRICATED METAL
CHIMNEY
When connecting the Mansfield to a prefabricated metal
chimney, you must follow, precisely, the manufacturer's
installation instructions. Use only Type HT (2100 deg.
F), prefabricated metal chimneys listed per UL 103 or
ULC S629 standards.
¦WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT THE STOVE TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
Make sure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate for
the Mansfield. The Mansfield requires a 6” (152 mm)
inside diameter flue for new installations. A 6” diameter
flue provides adequate draft and performance. You can
use an 8” (203 mm) diameter existing flue with a reducer.
An oversized flue contributes to creosote accumulation.
(In this case, bigger is NOT better.)
When purchasing a prefabricated chimney to install with
your stove, be sure to also purchase from the same
manufacturer the wall pass-through (or ceiling support
package), "T" section package, fire-stops (when needed),
insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, and any
other needed accessories. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when installing the chimney and accessories.
In addition, be sure to maintain all manufacturer’s
recommendations for the proper clearances to the
chimney.
There are basically two ways to install a prefabricated
metal chimney:
•An interiorinstallation where the chimney passes
inside the residence through the ceiling and roof.
•An exteriorinstallation where the chimney passes
through the wall behind the stove then up the outside
of the residence.
Whenever possible, choose an interior chimney. An
interior chimney heats up more quickly and retains its
heat; thus promotes a better draft and discourages the
formation of creosote. An exterior chimney does not
benefit from the warmth ofbeing surrounded by the
building, so it typically operates at lower flue
temperatures than an interior chimney. An exterior
chimney’s draft is not as strong and may experience
increased creosote accumulation.

CONNECTION TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY
Consider two primary elements when connecting your
stove to a masonry chimney: the chimney itself and the
thimble where the stovepipe connects to the chimney.
Use only Code approved masonry chimneys with a flue
liner.
Before connecting to a masonry chimney, hire a
professional to examine the chimney for cracks, loose
mortar, and other signs of deterioration and blockage. If
the chimney needs repair, complete them before installing
and using your stove. Do not install your stove until the
chimney is safe for use.
Make sure the chimney’s cleanout is complete and
working properly. To avoid a loss of draft, the cleanout
must close off completely. If not, the chimney will cool,
your stove will perform poorly, and creosote will build up
in the chimney.
Make sure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate for
this stove and that it is not too large. Use a masonry
chimney with an 8” x 8” (203 mm x 203 mm) tile size for
best results. An oversized flue will contribute to the
accumulation of creosote.

Operating Your
Mansfield Wood Stove
Once your Mansfield has been set in place, connected,
and assembled, you are ready to light a fire. HearthStone
Stoves tests each wood stove before we ship, so you
should be able to easily light your first fire.
¦WARNING:
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP
CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND
FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Please read this entire chapter before lighting your first
fire. It explains the controls and features of your wood
stove, how to choose firewood, and how to break-in your
stove and use it on a daily basis.
CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Before lighting any fires,become familiar with the
location and operation of your stove's controls and
features and learn how to use them. For your own safety,
do not modify these features in any way.
FRONT DOOR HANDLE: A fixed handle is provided to
operate the front loading door. The 10 o’clock position is
open; the 7 o’clock position is closed. Pull on the door
handle to make sure it is properly latched.
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL: This feature is located on the
lower left side of the stove, under the removable ash lip.
The primary air control allows you to regulate the amount
of air entering the firebox. Generally, the more air
allowed into the firebox, the faster and hotter the rate of
burn; conversely, less air creates a slower burn. Push the
lever to the left to open the primary air control; push the
lever to the right to close the primary air control.
ASH PAN: The ash pan access door is located under the
ash lip. The ash pan collects burned ash from a fire and
allows you to conveniently remove the ash from your
wood stove. To open it, rotate the handle clock-wise. The
firebox should be cleaned of ashes as required by sliding
the ash grate open, sifting the ashes across the grate into
the ash pan, then returning the grate to its closed position.
The ash pan is easy to remove and has a handle for
convenient disposal of ashes. Once the ashes have been
removed, close the ash pan access door and rotate the
handle counter-clock-wise to latch.

CHOOSING FIREWOOD
Your Mansfield Wood Heater is designed to only burn
firewood-also known as cordwood.
¦CAUTION:
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLAMMABLE
FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA,
KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR
ENGINE OIL TO START A FIRE. DO NOT USE
CHARCOAL, PELLETS, COAL, ARTIFICIAL
LOGS OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS AS FUEL;
THEY ARE NOT SAFE. DO NOT BURN
GARBAGE.
The quality of your firewood affects heat output, duration
of burn and performance of your stove. Softwoods
generally burn hotter and faster, while hardwoods burn
longer and produce more coals. Density and moisture
content are two critical factors to consider when
purchasing wood for your stove.
The following is a list of wood species and their relative
BTU (British Thermal Unit) content. The higher the BTU
the longer the burn. Firewood with higher BTUs is
generally considered more ideal for a wood stove.
HIGH: Apple, Black Birch, Hickory, Locust, White Oak,
Black Beech, Mesquite
MEDIUM HIGH: White Ash, Beech, Yellow Birch,
Sugar Maple, Red Oak
MEDIUM LOW: Black Ash, White Birch, Grey Birch,
Elm, Norway Pine, Pitch Pine, Black Cherry, Soft Maple,
Tamarack
LOW: White Pine, White Cedar, Balsam Fir, Spruce,
Aspen, Basswood, Butternut, Hemlock
Moisture content also plays a key role in the performance
of your stove. Wood freshly cut from a living tree (green
wood) contains a great deal of moisture. As you might
expect, green wood has difficulty burning and should be
seasoned before using it in your wood stove. To properly
season green wood, it should be split, stacked and allowed
to air dry for a period of one year.
Stack the firewood on skids or blocks to keep it off the
ground, cover only the top of the stack. Plastic or tarps
that cover the sides of the woodpile trap moisture and
prevent the wood from drying. As for stacking, an old
Vermonter said, "The spaces between the logs should be
large enough for a mouse to get through, but not for the
cat that's chasing it."
Firewood should not be stored within the stove's specified
clearances to combustible materials.
BUILDING A FIRE
Once you understand the controls of your wood stove and
have chosen the appropriate firewood, you are ready to
start a fire.
Caution: Do not use chemicals or fluids to start a fire.
Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids such as gasoline,
naphtha, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or engine oil.
Your Mansfield wood heater is designed to burn cord
wood only. The use of charcoal or any other materials as
fuel is not safe.
BREAKING IN YOUR WOOD STOVE
It is imperative that your stove be "broken in" slowly.
Cast iron must be "seasoned"; over-firing a new stove
may cause castings to crack or may damage other stove
parts. Moisture in the soapstone must be driven out slowly
to minimize the “shock” to the stone of its first exposure
to high firebox temperatures. Also, the asbestos-free
furnace cement must be cured slowly to insure adequate
sealing and bonding.
The bottom layer of soapstone in your firebox is intended
to prevent thermal stress and should remain in place in the
firebox at all times.
When you light your first fires, the wood stove will emit
some smoke and fumes. This is normal “off-gassing” of
the paints and oils used when manufacturing the wood
stove. If you find it necessary, open a few windows to
vent your room. The smoke and fumes will usually
subside after 10 to 20 minutes of operation. The odor and
smoke will end once the stove is “cured”.
The first fires may produce other odors from impurities
that exist inthe area immediately surrounding the stove.
Some of these impurities can be cleaning solvents, paint
solvents, cigarettes, smoke, pet hair, dust, adhesives, a
new carpet, and new textiles. These odors will dissipate
over time. You can alleviate these odors by opening a
few windows or otherwise creating additional ventilation
around your stove. If any odor persists, contact your
dealer or an authorized service technician.

BUILDING A BREAK IN FIRE
1) Open the door and place five or six double
sheets of tightly twisted newspaper in the
center of the firebox. Arrange kindling in a
crisscross pattern over the newspaper.
Kindling should be approximately ten
pieces, 1/2" (13 mm) in diameter and 10" to
18" (254 mm to 457 mm) long.
2) Fully open the primary air control by
pushing the lever to the left.
3) Light the paper under the kindling. Leave
the front door slightly ajar momentarily until
the kindling has started to burn and draft
begins to pull.
4) Close the door and allow the fire to burn.
Keep the door and ash drawer closed while
the stove is in use. Make sure the ash door
is in the closed position.
5) KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE ON YOUR
STOVE to maintain a steady, low-heat fire.
Your first fire should make the stove warm
but not hot to the touch. At most, a few
small chunks of wood should be added to
the fire to reach safe break-in temperatures.
6) Once the stove is warm butnot hot to the
touch close the primary air control and
allow the fire to die out completely.
7) Let the stove return to room temperature.
Your first fire and first fire each season thereafter should
be built and maintained as outlined above. Your patience
will be rewarded by a properly seasoned stove.
NOTE: Because of the cool flue gas temperatures present
during the break-in procedure, creosote may build up
quickly. Your window may get dirty. A good hot fire will
clean it.
NORMAL OPERATION
If your stove is not used continuously or has not been
used in quite some time, follow the break-in procedure at
least once to minimize the stress of a hot fire on a cold
stove before proceeding with normal operation. We
recommend one break-in fire at the start of each heating
season. Prior to loading the stove, make sure the ash door
is closed and the ash pan is in the stove. If the ash door is
open, the stove will over-fire and be damaged.
BUILDING A FIRE FOR EVERYDAY USE
1) Open the door and place five or six double sheets
of tightly twisted newspaper in the center of the
firebox. Arrange kindling in a crisscross pattern
over the newspaper. Kindling should be
approximately ten pieces, 1/2" (13 mm) in
diameter and 10" to 18" (254 to 457 mm) long.
2) Fully open the primary air control by pushing the
lever to the left.
3) Light the paper under the kindling. Leave the
front door slightly ajar momentarily until the
kindling has started to burn and draft begins to
pull.
4) Close the door and allow the fire to burn.
5) Once the kindling is burning, open the door and
add logs, small at first, to build the fire up.
Make sure to keep the logs away from the glass
in front in order for the air-wash system to work
properly. Otherwise, keep the door and ash door
closed while the stove is in use.
6) Once the fire is burning well, use the primary air
control to regulate the desired rate of burn.
Pushing the lever to the left opens the
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL for a high rate of
burn or pushing it to the right for a low rate of
burn.
Note: When opening the door to reload or re-
arrange logs, it is advisable to open the door just a
crack, pause for a moment then open the door
completely. This procedure will allow the firebox
to clear of smoke before the door is opened fully.
Also, reloading on a bed of hot, red coals reduces
smoking time and will bring fresh fuel up to a high
temperature rapidly.
DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE UNLESS THE ASH DOOR OR GRATE IS CLOSED. THIS
COULD OVERHEAT AND DAMAGE THE STOVE.

HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products Inc®Mansfield Model 8011
17
BURN RATE
HIGH BURN: Fully load the firebox with wood on a bed
of hot coals or on an actively flaming fire and fully open
the primary air control. A high burn rate is recommended
once or twice a day to fully heat the stovepipe and
chimney, which will help minimize creosote
accumulation
MEDIUM BURN: Set the primary air control to a mid-
range setting appropriate for the heating needs of the area
being heated. A medium burn rate should be the typical
setting and is preferable if the stove is to be left
unattended.
LOW BURN: Close the primary air control for a low burn
rate. A low burn rate over extended periods of time is not
advisable as it may promote the accumulation of creosote.
The venting system should be inspected frequently if low
burn rates are maintained consistently.
OVER-FIRE CAUTION
Over-firing means the stove is operating at temperatures
above the recommended temperatures outlined above in
the BURN RATE section. Over-firing should be carefully
avoided since it will cause damage to the stove.
Symptoms ofover-firing include short burn times, a
roaring sound in the stove or stovepipe, and discoloration
of the stovepipe.
Over-firing can be caused by excessive draft,
inappropriate fuel, and operator error. Correct an over-
fire situation as follows:
EXCESSIVE DRAFT: Contact your dealer to
have a draft reading taken. Any draft in excess of 0.1 wc
requires a damper in the stovepipe. Some installations
may require more than one damper.
INAPPROPRIATE FUEL: Do not burn coal,
kiln dried lumber, wax logs or anything other than natural
cordwood.
OPERATOR ERROR: Make sure all the gaskets
are in good condition. Replace worn out or compressed
gaskets. Do not burn the stove with the front, side or ash
doors in the open position.
Monitoring the temperature is the best way to determine
that the stove is over-firing. If you suspect that your stove
is over-firing, contact your dealer immediately. Damage
done by over-firing is not covered by your warranty.
Results of over-firing can include: warped or burned out
internal parts, cracked stones, discolored or warped
external parts, and damaged enamel.
NOTE: ANY SYMPTOMS OF OVER-FIRING
WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!!
REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be removed when the stove is cold. Use
protective fireplace gloves when the pan is warm.
Exercise extreme caution when handling, storing or
disposing of ashes.
To remove ashes from the firebox, slide the ash grate
open so that the slots in the grate line up with the slots in
the bottom and sift the ashes across the ash grate using a
poker or other suitable implement. Open the ash pan door
by rotating the handle clock-wise. Before removing the
ash pan, push it into the stove to force the ashes further
into the pan. Be sure to return the ash grate to its closed
position and close the ash door tightly. Alternately, the
ashes can be removed with a shovel through the front
door.
Ashes should be dumped from the ash drawer into a metal
container with a tight fitting lid. Do not place any other
items or trash into the metal container. Replace the lid
onto the container and allow the ashes to cool. Do not
place the ash disposal container on a combustible surface
or vinyl flooring as the container will be hot!
Pending disposal, place the closed ash container on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials. Ashes should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
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 within a bed of ashes can
remain hot for several days once removed from the
firebox.
MAINTENANCE
MONITORING STOVE TEMPERATURES
Monitor the stove temperatures with a stove thermometer
(available from your dealer) placed on the top center
stone of the stove. The thermometer could read as high as
600°F (427°C) on high burn and 300-400°F
(149-240°C) on low burn.
Do not over-fire the stove. (refer to previous section).

CREOSOTE 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. These 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,
which may damage the chimney or even destroy the
house.
To prevent the buildup of creosote:
1. Burn the stove with the primary air control
fully open for30 minutes daily to burn out creosote
deposits from within the stove and the venting system.
2. After reloading with wood, burn the stove
with the primary air control fully open for 20 to 30
minutes. This manner of operation ensures early
engagement of the secondary combustion system which,
when engaged, minimizes creosote buildup in the
chimney.
The stovepipe connector and chimney should be inspected
at least monthly during the heating season to determine if
a creosote build-up has occurred. If a creosote residue
greater that 1/4" (6 mm) has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
If your glass is remaining dirty, your operating
temperatures are low, therefore there is a higher risk of
creosote buildup.
The venting system must be inspected at the stove
connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend
to build creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to
check the chimney at the top (where it is coolest) as well
as from the bottom near the stove.
Accumulated creosote should be removed with a cleaning
brush specifically designed for the type of chimney in use.
A certified chimney sweep should be used to perform this
service. Contact your dealer for the name of a certified
chimney sweep in your area (your dealer may be a
certified sweep!).
It is also recommended that before each heating season
the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and
repaired, if necessary.
GASKETS
Gasket material should normally be replaced every two to
three seasons,depending on stove use. If the door seal is
loose, a new gasket will assure a tight seal and improved
stove performance. Contact your dealer for a gasket kit,
which includes instructions and gaskets for your stove.
The procedure for replacing gasketson the glass is
reviewed on page 19.
To replace door gaskets, first remove the old gaskets with
a utility or putty knife. Clean all gasket channels with a
wire brush. Apply gasket cement to the channels and
push the new gasket into place without stretching the
gasket material. The door should be shut immediately to
fully press the gasket into place and assure a positive seal.
We require the use of the following gaskets:
GLASS: 60" (152 mm) Length, 3/4" (19 mm) Wide,
Adhesive Backed Black Tape
DOOR: 60" (152 mm) Length, 3/8" (9 mm) Diameter,
Low Density Black Tube
ASH DOOR: 32" (81 mm) Length, 1/4" (6 mm)
Diameter, Low Density, Black Tube

HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products Inc®Mansfield Model 8011

GLASS
Do not operate the stove with a broken door glass. Do not
abuse the front door by striking or slamming.
When necessary, the glass can be cleaned with low
alkaline content commercial stove glass cleaners, which
are available from your local dealer. Never attempt to
clean the glass while the fire is burning or the glass is hot.
Most deposits can be cleaned by following the
instructions provided with the cleaner. To clean heavier
deposits, open the door and lift it straight up and off the
stove with the hinge pins remaining in the door (take care
to save hinge pins and washers for reuse). Lay the door
face down on a work bench or table. Apply the cleaner to
the glass and allow it to set for a few minutes. By laying
the door flat, it will allow the cleaner to penetrate rather
than running off the surface of the glass. Wipe the
cleaner off with a soft cloth.
Important: scratching or etching the glass will
weaken the integrity of the glass. Do not use a
razor blade, steel wool, or any other abrasive
material to clean the glass. Use low alkaline
content cleaners only.
The front door glass is a ceramic, shock-resistant glass,
made specifically for use in woodstoves. Do not use any
replacement glass other than the ceramic glass
manufactured and supplied for use in this woodstove.
Replacement glass is available through your local dealer.
The door glass should be replaced immediately if broken.
Contact your local dealer for replacement glass, which is
accompanied with instructions and everything needed for
the repair. If you replace the glass yourself, wear work
gloves and safety glasses.
The procedure for glass and glass gasket replacement is as
follows:
1. Remove the door by lifting it straight up off the
hinges with the hinge pins remaining in the door.
2. Place the door face down on a flat, smooth
surface.
3. Apply penetrating oil to the screws in the glass
retainer clips. Remove the screws to separate the
glass from the door.
4. Carefully lift the damaged glass from the door
and discard.
5. Peel the paper backing from the tape gasket.
Apply the new gasket to the new glass as
illustrated.
6. Place the gasketed glass onto the door.
7. Screw the glass retainer clips back on the door.
8. Install the door.
STONE
Occasional cleaning is all that should be necessary to
maintain the natural beauty of your stove’s polished
soapstone finish. Clean the soapstone with water, any
non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Wipe dust from the
stone with a clean cloth. Do not use chemical agents to
wash the stone; do not use waxes or any polishing agents
on the stone.
Care must be taken not to scratch or chip the stone. Do
not set items that may scratch or chip the stone (or enamel
finish) on top of your stove.
Often, with use and over time, subtle earth tones of
brown, red and yellow appear on the soapstone. This is a
natural reaction in the soapstone. With normal use, hair
line or surface cracks may appear in the stone. Such
cracks do not affect the integrity or operation of the stove
and do not require replacement.
CAST IRON
Exterior cast iron parts are either painted with black, high-
temperature stove paint or porcelainized with an enamel
finish in various colors.
Use black, high-temperature stove paint (satin black by
Stovebright) to touch up and maintain the original
appearance of painted cast iron. Use a damp sponge to
wipe clean. Dry the cast iron thoroughly to prevent
rusting.
Enamel castings can be cleaned with a standard glass
cleaner. With time and use, a very fine, subtle network of
crazed lines may appear seemingly beneath the surface of
the enamel. Crazing is a natural predictable process and
does not represent a flaw.
