7. CAUTION: DO NOT ALTER COMBUSTION AIR
CONTROL RANGE TO INCREASE FIRING OR
FOR ANY REASON. Altering or tampering with air
control beyond normal capacity will create unsafe
and hazardous conditions.
8. Always connect this stove to a chimney and vent to
the outside. Never vent to a room or inside a build-
ing. DO NOT CONNECTTHIS UNITTO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
9. DO NOT CONNECT AWOOD BURNING STOVETO
AN ALUMINUMTYPE B GAS VENT. This is not safe.
Use approved masonry or an Underwriters Labo-
ratories Listed UL 103 HT (US)/ULC-S629 (CDN)
Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance
Chimney. Use a 6˝/152mm diameter chimney, that
is high enough to give a good draft. (See specifics
in Chimney Connections instructions).
10. Be sure that your chimney is safely constructed and
in good repair. Have the chimney inspected by the fire
department or a qualified inspector. Your insurance
company should be able to recommend a qualified
inspector. Chimney connector pipe must be in good
condition. Replace if necessary before using stove.
11. Creosote or soot may build up in the chimney con-
nector and chimney and cause a house/building
fire. Inspect the chimney connector and chimney
twice monthly during the heating season and clean
if necessary. (see Service Hints).
12. In the event of a chimney fire, turn the air controls to
closed positions, leave the building and CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY! Have a clearly
understood plan on how to handle a chimney fire by
contacting your local fire authority for information
on proper procedures in the event of a chimney fire.
After the fire is out, the chimney must be cleaned
and inspected for any stress or cracks before starting
another fire. Check the condition of any combustibles
surrounding the chimney.
13. Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate above
the top of the lower primary air orifice (LPAO, air vent
at front of firebox, just inside of door).
14. DISPOSAL OF ASHES Ashes should be placed
in a steel container with a tight fitting lid and moved
outdoors immediately.The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of
by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have completely cooled. Other waste shall
not be placed in this container.
15. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this
stove who is unfamiliar with the correct operation of
the stove.

17. DO NOT ELEVATE THE FIRE. Build fire directly on
the bottom of the firebox. This stove has not been
tested with the use of grates, andirons or other means
of elevating the fire and must not be used.
18. The special paints used on your stove may give
off some smoke and an odor while they are cur-

TR002B | 20120125.0 www.vogelzang.com SHILOH™ | Page 3
ing during the first 12 to 15 fires. Additional smoke
and odor may be emitted from the light oils used
in construction of the fire box. This should disap-
pear after a short period of time and not occur
again. Persons with lung conditions or owners of
susceptible domestic pets (such as birds) should take
prudent precautions. Open windows and doors as
needed to clear smoke and/or odor. Paint discolor-
ation will occur if the stove is over fired.
19. This stove has a painted surface which is durable but
it will not stand rough handling or abuse. Use care
when installing your stove.
After a period of use the
firebox walls may become distorted. A slight distor-
tion will not affect stove operation.
20. CLEAN STOVE FREQUENTLY as soot, creosote
and ash may accumulate. Clean exterior with soap
and warm water when stove is not hot. Do not use
any acids or scouring soap, as these solvents wear
and dull the finish.
21. ALERT ALL PERSONS TO THE HAZARDS OF
HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURES while stove is
in operation – especially young children. Keep away
from a hot stove to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
22. NEVER LEAVE SMALL CHILDREN UNSUPER-
VISED WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM
AS THE STOVE. If small children will be in the same
room as the stove during operation, provide a sturdy
barrier to keep them at a safe distance from the stove.
23. Keep stove area clear and free from all combustible
materials, gasoline, engine oil, naphtha and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
24. WHILETENDING THE FIRE ALWAYSWEAR PRO-
TECTIVE CLOTHING, fire retardant hearth gloves
and eye protection, to prevent burns.

will occur if combustion air is uncontrolled as when
feed door is left open during operation. Such actions
can result in very dangerous operating conditions.
While in operation, keep the feed door closed and
secured at all times except while tending the fire
27. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the fire.
Do not build fires against glass and do not load fuel to
a height or in such a manner that it creates a hazard
when opening the door.

door open. Always close the door after ignition.
29. DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNC-
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS continued…
TION WITH ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCTWORK
UNLESS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR SUCH
INSTALLATIONS.
30. A WOOD-BURNING STOVE MUST NEVER BE
INSTALLED IN A HALLWAY OR NEAR A STAIR-
CASE, as it may block egress in the event of a fire.
31. DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
DO NOT INSTALL IN AN ALCOVE OR INSIDE A
FIREPLACE.
32. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of
your home. Detectors should be located away from
the heating appliance to avoid false alarms. Detectors
should be located close to sleeping areas. Follow
the smoke detectors manufacturer’s placement and
installation instructions. Maintain smoke detector per
manufacturer’s instructions.
33. CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) HAZARD. A buildup of
CO fumes is toxic and can be fatal. Carbon Monoxide
is a colorless, odorless gas produced during combus-
tion of wood, coal, oil, gas and by other fuel burning
appliances. It is important to have a proper draft and
adequate replacement air ventilation so fumes are
drawn out the chimney. Installed as instructed this
stove is designed to be as safe as possible yet it is
recommended to install a CO detector. Follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations for proper instal-
lation and use. It is recommended to be placed at
table-top level (not near the ceiling) to avoid false
alarms. Realize that devices other than a stove (i.e.
motor exhaust) can trigger CO alarms.
