High·Temperature Glass
6 . of 1/8” x 1” Gasket with Adhesive
Glass can be installed in the door opening with the door on the stove.
Remove bracket bolts from the door.
Remove backing from the gasket. Center gasket on edge of glass. Firmly press onto
glass edge and all sides. Cut excess gasket.
Place glass in opening.
Posion brackets in place, insert bolts and ghten carefully.
Glass should be snug, but not excessively ght.
Although glass has excellent heat resistance and strength characteriscs, it can crack
through improper use. To achieve maximum ulity and safety of glass In a wood burning
stove, we advise the following:
Inspect the glass regularly. if you detect a crack or break, exnguish the re im-
mediately and replace glass.
Do not slam the door or otherwise impact the glass. When closing the door, logs or
other objects should not protrude or impact the glass.
Do not clean the glass with materials which may scratch or damage the glass.
Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks or breaks. Oven cleaner may be
used, but do not get any on the paint as it will remove paint.
Never put substances which can ignite explosively in the stove since even small
explosions in conned areas can blowout the glass.

Dimensions shown are clearances to a combusble wall.
Proper installaon of any wood burning stove is necessary for the safety and eecve-
ness of its operaon, Check with your dealer regarding arrangements for installing your
free standing model. Installaon must meet strict specicaons of the Naonal Fire
Protecon Associaon and all local re and building codes. For addional informaon
on using your heater (wood stove) safely, write for Using Coal and Wood Safely, NFPA
No. 89174, from the Naonal Protecve Associaon, 470 Atlanc Avenue, Boston, MA
02210. High Valley Stoves are tested by Arnold Green Tesng Laboratories, 6 Huren
Drive, East Natuck Industrial Park,Natuck, MA 01760.
Keep stove away from combusbles. Follow suggested distances.
Install smoke pipe segments with the crimped end down. This permits the creosote
to drip back into the stove and be burned away.
The use of aluminum type “B” gas vent is unsafe and prohibited by the Naonal
Fire Prevenon Associaon Code.
The area through which the chimney pipe will travel should be inspected. If the
installaon requires cung a hole in the ceiling, check the ac for wires, ducts,
etc., that may interfere.
Most home res occur with wood stoves because of improper installaon. It is
vitally important that single wall pipe is NEVER installed closer than 24 inches or
three mes the diameter of the pipe from a combusble surface,
Never run a single wall pipe through a combusble wall.
800.421.0771
Use only an insulated, all-fuel chimney to vent the hot gases out of the house. It
will reduce the amount of creosote buildup and improve the dra needed to vent
hot gases from the stove.
Use an 8” diameter insulated thimble or an 8” diameter insulated all-fuel chimney
secon when passing through a combusble wall or ceiling.
Do not use more than one elbow in the stove pipe.
Any horizontal pipe should be pitched upward toward the chimney at least 1/4
inch for each foot horizontal run.
Be sure there is at least 18” clearance between horizontal piping, if used, and
combusble ceiling.
Ensure that the venlang pipe does not extend so far into the chimney u that it
blocks airow.
Parcular aenon should be paid to the point where the u passes through a wall
or a ceiling. This penetraon should always be made with insulated pipe and the
proper accessories.
The longer the pipe and the larger the number of elbows, the greater the chances
of dangerous creosote and ash buildup. Modern stoves are engineered to achieve
maximum heat dispersal without lengthy vents eliminang a potenally hazardous
situaon.
Use heavy gauge stove pipe; at least 24 gauge, 8” diameter.
Each stove pipe connecon should be joined and secured with sheet metal screws
to avoid possible separaon during use.
The top must be at least three feet higher than the roof at the point of exit In
pitched roofs, the top of the stove pipe must be at least two feet higher than the
highest point of the roof, and at least ten feet away.
Extend the chimney’s connecon pipe at least 12 inches into the chimney.
This stove is not approved for use in mobile homes.

Remove rebrick and all other items inside stove.
Tilt stove on its back.
Aach legs or pedestal using 3/8” bolts provided. (See Figure 5)
Tilt stove back into normal posion.
Insert pipe into 8” collar on top of stove.
Place plugs in the six holes located on the top and both sides by tapping them in
with a hammer. Replace rebrick.
Minimum clearance to combusbles must be maintained as shown in Figure 4.
Combusble wall and ceiling materials include wood, cloth, vinyl, paper, etc. Wood
covered with plasc is also considered combusble. The 24” clearance for the
stove also applies for plain stovepipe used in construcng the chimney pipe. Clear-
ance is applicable to the parallel wall or from the ceiling either when the wall is un-
protected or when 3/8” insulated millboard is axed to the wall without spacing.
Select a spot for the stove. Inspect the area that a stovepipe will be running
through to connect with the exisng chimney, Use an insulated connector if a
combusble wall is between the chimney and stove.
If the area the pipe runs through looks acceptable, move the stove into posion.
Be sure the stove had proper clearance from combusble areas.
If a new chimney is being installed, follow the instrucons of the chimney pipe
manufacturer or have it installed by a cered chimney installer.
Install the chimney connector-if it is passing through combusble walls, it must be
insulated such as triple-wall pipe. Also, if it is impossible to maintain 24” between
your smoke pipe and a combusble wall, use an insulated chimney pipe. Also con-
sult local building codes and regulaons.
Aer the pipe connector is in place, run the stovepipe with the crimped edge
down from the chimney connector to the stove. The crimped edges must be down
so creosote accumulaon on the walls of the stovepipe can run back into the stove
and not out the joints of the pipe.
Check installaon to determine that the pipe is connected properly using three
sheet metal screws per joint; that the proper distances have been maintained from
combusble surfaces with the stove and the stovepipe; and the chimney is in good
repair and is installed properly.
Install the blower onto your Model 2500 stove. The blower has been placed inside the
stove along with four 1/4” x 20 cap screws into the rebox of the stove. Please follow
these steps to install the blower. The blower for Model 1500 is already installed.
Remove the front blower cover locate the opening for the blower.
Remove blower package from inside the rebox where it was placed for shipping.
Place the blower onto the stove with the motor turned down.
Secure the blower onto the stove using the four 1/4”.20 cap screws.
Connect the two wires from the blower to the wires on the stove.
Replace the magnec blower cover and begin using the stove.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a ght ng lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combusble oor or on
the ground, well away from combusble materials, pending nal disposal. If the
ashes are disposed of by burial in sailor otherwise locally dispersed they should be
retained in the closed container unl all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Never use gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid,
or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a re in this heater. Keep all such liquids
well away from the heater while it is in use.
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 relavely cool chimney ue of a slow burning
re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited, this
creosote makes an extremely hot re. CAUTION: Do not operate the stove to such
an extreme that any poron becomes “red hot”.
Class A masonry or all fuel pre-fabricated chimneys
must be listed as approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or you may use
“Metal vent” and “Metalbestos” for use as your chimney.
The installaon of the stove must comply with state and local
requirements and be inspected by the state or local building inspector, if required.
This stove is not approved or recommended for use in mobile homes.
Do not locate a wood burning stove in a bedroom or sleeping area. The stove
should be placed centrally in relaonship to the area to be heated. High trac
areas should be avoided, and the stove should be located in a relavely dra-free
area. A 24 inch clearance to furnishings must be maintained.
Inspect chimney connector and chimney twice monthly and
clean if necessary.
If this wood stove is not properly installed, a house re may result.
For your safety, follow the installaon direcons. Contact local building ocials
about restricons and installaon inspecon in your area.

In the event of a power failure we recommend removing motor
to help natural convecon, which will increase the life of the motor. If the motor
or thermostat fails to work, remove motor housing and return to your dealer for
servicing.
Your stove is nished with a high temperature, heat resistant paint.
There will be a slight odor of paint during the rst burn, though not hazardous. A
door or window opened slightly will reduce fumes to a minimum.
