WARNING
Before installing, please take a few minutes to read this handbook. Keep it in a sure
place and easily reachable for future references. If this appliance is not properly installed,
it could cause fire damages to the property, injuries and death. To reduce fire hazards,
follow instructions contained in this handbook.
Contact an official inspector (ex: a fireman) or your insurance company for installation
permit. Always respect the provincial and municipal building codes of your region.
Do not connect this appliance to a chimney that already serves for another wood stove.
The existing chimney should be well inspected before any installation. In doubt, consult a
specialist.
Never use a non-isolated exterior conduct or a single pipe as an exterior exit.
Minimum clearances found in this manual must be observed.
Do not install in a mobile house.
Keep all combustible material (clothing, furniture, wood, matches, plastic, etc) at a
distance of at least 91.5 cm (3 feet) from the appliance.
Do not use chemicals or fluids to light the fire. Never burn flammable waste or fluids
such as gasoline, naphtha or engine oil
This appliance was conceived to burn wood. Do not use any other combustible.
Wood should not be stocked within the recommended minimums clearances or in the
necessary space for the loading and the ashes evacuation.
Do not burn wet or freshly cut wood. Do not use construction debris such as pieces of
2x4 or plywood.
Ashes must be evacuated frequently, put in a steel container provided with a tight lid and
be placed outside at once. You must never place other waste in this container.
Very hot when lighted. Keep the children away. Can cause burns by contact.
Considering the need of air for the combustion, a window or a door must be half opened
sometimes (fresh air drainage) to balance the pressure in the house, especially if:
- A fan already evacuates air towards outside (kitchen, bathroom.)
- You want to avoid a repression of smoke when lighting the appliance and
when reloading the wood.
