SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FLOOR SUPPORT
Prior to installation, ensure that the floor and
support construction is sufficient to support
the weight of the stove.
BE SURE TO ALLOW AN ADEQUATE
SOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM
WHERE THE STOVE IS LOCATED. AIR
STARVATION CAN CAUSE SMOKE TO ENTER
INTO YOUR HOME, AN INABILITY TO
MAINTAIN A FIRE, AND IT CAN CAUSE
SMOKE DETECTORS TO ACTIVATE.
DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE WITHOUT
THE FIREBOX BAFFLE PLATES PROPERLY
INSTALLED.
BUILD FIRES DIRECTLY UPON THE HEARTH
INSIDE THE STOVE. DO NOT USE GRATES,
IRONS OR ANY OTHER METHOD TO
ELEVATE THE FIRE.
THE TAURUS STOVE IS NOT SUITABLE OR
APPROVED FOR FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
AND IS DESIGNED TO BE USED ONLY AS A
FREE STANDING WOOD STOVE.
THE TAURUS WOOD STOVE IS DESIGNED
SPECIFICALLY FOR USE WITH DRY
FIREWOOD.
DO NOT USE MAKESHIFT COMPROMISES
DURING INSTALLATION.
FUEL QUANTITIES
THE TAURUS WOOD STOVE IS DESIGNED
WITH A FLAT FIREBOX LAYOUT.
ONLY ONE LAYER OF FUEL MUST BE
PLACED ON THE EXISTING EMBERS WHEN
RE-STOKING.
NOTE: If greater than one layer of fuel is
added to your stove, heat output could exceed
design and safety limits of the appliance. This
may result in damage to the appliance, a
house fire, other personal property damage,
personal injury or death.
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR STOVE WITH THE
DOOR OPEN!
OPERATE YOUR STOVE ONLY WITH THE
DOOR FULLY CLOSED. IF THE DOOR IS LEFT
PARTLY OPEN, GAS AND FLAME MAY BE
DRAWN OUT OF THE FIREPLACE STOVE
OPENING, CREATING A RISK FROM BOTH
FIRE AND SMOKE.
Operating your stove with the door open can
cause smoke detectors to activate, can cause
a house fire, and can cause a carbon
monoxide buildup in your home.
ASH SHAKER MECHANISM
The ash shaker mechanism is a grated device
found in the bottom of the combustion
chamber of your stove. The ash shaker is
controlled by the lever located at the bottom
left front of the stove.
Only operate your stove with the shaker
handle pushed completely in so that the
shaker grate is in a closed position.
ASH COLLECTION DRAWER (ASH PAN)
Your stove is equipped with a gasket sealed
ash pan. The ash pan is located inside the
door below the combustion chamber.
WARNING!
Never operate your stove with the ash pan open
or removed. Failure to adhere to this warning
can cause an over-heating condition resulting
in a house fire, property damage, bodily injury
or death.
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING
ROOM!
THIS STOVE SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY AN
AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
