Keep the ash pit section free of excess
ashes. Do not allow ashes to stack higher
than the sides of the ash pan.*
DISPOSALOF ASHES- Ashes should be
placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. Keep the closed container on a
non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials.
Keep the ashes in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Theashes may be buried inthe ground or
used as fertilizer.
CAUTION: The special paints used on
your heater may give off some smoke
while they are curing during first few fires.
Build small fires at first. The metal used in

TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS FOR MODEL 2847

CHIMNEY CONNECTION
Two basic types of chimneys are ap-
proved for use with solid fuel: Factory-
built and masonry. Factory-built chim-
ney must comply with UL103HT stan-
dard.
Do not expect your stove or furnace to
create draft. Draft is not a function of the
appliance.Draftispurelyafunctionofthe
chimney. Modern stoves and furnaces
are much more airtight and efficient than
those of the past; and, therefore require
greater draft. A minimum of .05, mea-
sured in water column (gauges to mea-
sure chimney draft are readily available
at stove shops and are economical to
purchase or rent) is required for proper
drafting to prevent back-puffing, smoke
spillage, and to maximize performance.

gases resulting from combustion of the
fuel. Secondarily, though, the chimney
provides "Draft" which allows oxygen to
be continuously introduced into the
appliance, so that proper combustion is
possible. As of April 1, 1987, all heaters
and furnaces manufactured by United
States Stove Company should be
installed using a factory built chimney
that meets the "Type HT" requirement of
UL 103 (when a factory - built chimney is
used).

CAUTION:
NOT ALL FIREPLACES
ARE SUITABLE FOR
INSTALLATION OF A COAL
HEATER.
Many people may wish to convert an
existingfireplacetoheateruse.Usually,
safe connection of stovepipe to a ma-
sonrychimneyrequiresmoreeffortthan
connection to a prefabricated chimney.
Thefireplacemustbeclosedandsealed
atthedamperintheflue.Goodsealants
arehigh temperature caulking,ceramic
wool, and furnace cement. Always re-
member to inspect the masonry chim-
ney and fireplace. If necessary, clean
the flue and smoke shelf before begin-
ning your installation. Install the heater
intothechimneyso that the system can
be dismantled for cleaning and inspec-
tion.
Before deciding to convert your fire-
placeor existing chimney, keepinmind
thatolderfireplaces and their chimneys
are unsafe. They must be structurally
sound,andthefluelinermustbeingood
condition.Donotuse achimney if itis
unlined (should have a tile clay liner
to protect brickwork), have it relined
professionally.Clearancestocombus-
tiblesare explainedintheprevious sec-
tion on masonry chimneys. If you have
any questions regarding the condition
ofthe chimney,consultaqualified engi-
neer,competentmason,certifiedChim-
ney Sweep, or knowledgeable inspec-
tor.
Many prefabricated fireplaces fall into
the"zero-clearancefireplace"category.
This is a factory metal fireplace with
multilayeredconstruction.Itisdesigned
to provide enough insulation and/or air
coolingsothatthebase,backandsides
can be safely placed in close contact
with combustible floors and walls. Al-
though many prefabricated fireplaces
have been tested by nationally recog-
nized organizations for use as fire-
places, they have not been tested to
acceptheaters.Infact,theiruseassuch
may void the manufacturer's warranty.
Steel-lined fireplaces, on the other
hand, can be used with heaters. These
units use a 1/4-inch firebox liner and an
airchamberinconnectionwith8inches
of masonry to meet code. They contain
all the essential parts of a fireplace,
firebox, damper, throat, smoke shelf,
andsmokechamber.Manyofthemlook
exactly like a masonry fireplace and
must be checked closely for above re-
quirements before installing a coal
heater into them.
Another method frequently used by
some people is to vent the heater di-
rectly into the fireplace. This does not
meet code since the heater is being
vented into another appliance - the
fireplace. This method should not be
attempted because combustion prod-
ucts will deposit and build up in the
firebox or fireplace. Be certain not to
install a hazard in you house. You will
void your warranty with this installa-
tion.
VENTING INTO A FIREPLACE

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Connectionofthestovepipedirectlyinto
the existing masonry chimney over the
fireplace opening is the only approved
method. This installation performs bet-
ter, yielding easy to clean and inspect
forcreosote.Before beginning this type
of installation plan carefully; a high de-
gree of skill is required to insure safety.
An entry port for the stovepipe must be
cut through the chimney with minimum
damage to the fire clay liner. Some
involvedmeasurementsmayberequired
to locate the flue liner exactly. Before
cutting, take time to mark the size and
position of the entry port. Position the
entryport so that at least 8 inches ofthe
flue liner remains below the port.
Keep in mind that mantels and
combustible trim around the fireplace
must have adequate clearances from
the heater and stovepipe or must be
protectedinanapprovedmanner.Also,
be sure to leave at least 24" clearance
between the top of the stovepipe and
the combustible ceiling or other com-
bustibles.Placingthecenteroftheentry
port 2 feet below the ceiling will insure
proper clearance for 6 inch, 8 inch, and
10 inch stovepipes. Next, install a fire
clay (at least 5/8 in. thick) or metal
thimble, being sure that the thimble is
flush with the inner flue lining. Secure
thethimbleinplacewithrefractorymor-
tar. The thimble should be surrounded
on all sides with 8 inches of brickwork
(solid masonry units) or 24 inches of
stone.
Install the stovepipe as far as possible
into the thimble, but not past the inside
of the flue lining. There should be a
smallairspace(approximately1/2inch)
between the stovepipe and thimble,
allowing for expansion of the stove-
pipe. Seal this airspace with high-tem-
perature caulking or ceramic wool. Fi-
nally,besuretowire thedamperclosed
andapplythesamesealant youusedat
the stovepipe and thimble junction.
Do not use the Type B installation (not
illustrated in this manual), that is, vent-
ing up through the fireplace opening,
regardless of whether the fireplace
opening is closed.
MASONRY CHIMNEY have several
positiveattributes: If properly built, they
are quite durable, and most
homeowners consider them more at-
tractive perhaps than a non-enclosed
factory built chimney.
And,if the chimneyislocated within the
confines of the house (that is, not at-
tached to an exterior wall), its mass
alone will store heat longer and con-
tinue to release the heat long after the
fire has died. Masonry chimneys have
many disadvantages though.
Masonry chimneys constructed on an
exterior wall are exposed to cold out-
door temperatures, promoting greater
heater loss, higher accumulations of
creosote,andreduceddraftwhichleads
to poorer heater or furnace perfor-
mance.
Concrete block chimneys (when not
protected by a brick veneer) are inher-
entlyunsafe,resultinpoordraft,andare
subject to rapid deterioration. They do
not meet code and are not recom-
mended.

SERVICE HINTS
Do not expect a heater to draw. It is the
chimney that creates the draft. Smoke
spillage into the house or excessive
build-up of water or creosote in the
chimneyare warnings that the chimney
is not functioning properly. Possible
causes are:
1. Theconnection pipe maybepushed
into the chimney too far, stopping the
draft (Fig. 8).
2. Two heaters connected into the
same chimney flue.
3. Thesamefluebeingusedtoventilate
the cellar or basement. If there is a
cleanout opening at the base of the
chimney, it must be closed tightly and
sealed.
4. If the flue is too cool, water will
condense in the chimney and run back
into the stove. Creosote formation will
be rapid and may block the chimney.
Operatetheheateratahighenoughfire
to keep the chimney warm preventing
this condensation.
5. The chimney top may be lower than
another part of the house or a nearby
tree. The wind blowing over a house or
a tree falls on top of the chimney like
water over a dam, beating down the
smoke. The top of the chimney should
be at least 3 feet higher than any point
of the roof within 10 feet (Fig. 6).
6. Other chimney/flue inadequacies
covered elsewhere in this manual.
When coal is burned, the products of
combustion combine with moisture to
form a soot residue which accumulates
onthefluelining.Whenignited,thissoot
makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector should be in-
spected at least twice monthly during
the heating season to determine if a
creosote buildup has occurred.
If creosote has accumulated, it should
be removed. Failure to remove creo-
sote or soot may cause a house fire.
Creosote may be removed by using a
chimneybrushorothercommonlyavail-
able materials.
Chimney fires burn very hot -- up to
2100 degrees F. If you experience a
chimney fire, immediately call the fire
department.Theyhavetheprofessional
meansfor extinguishing a chimney fire.
Onceachimneyfirehasoccurred,itcan
only be extinguished by removing its
sources of oxygen. This can be accom-
plishedbyshuttinganymechanicaldraft
device such as dampers, discharging a
CO2 (carbon dioxide) or halon fire ex-
tinguisherdirectlyintothestovethrough
an appropriately placed cleanout. If us-
ing a Halon extinguisher, please re-
memberthat is totally displacesoxygen
and could become a hazard in itself if
enough were discharged into a living
space.
CAUTION
A chimney fire may cause ignition of wall studs or rafters which you thought
were safe distance from the chimney. If you have a chimney fire, have your
chimney inspected by a qualified person before using again.
NOTE:
A draft reading of .05 to .06 w.c. is suggested for proper burning of this unit
when using bituminous coal as fuel. When using anthracite coal, this draft
readings is a minimum reading.

RULES FOR CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
1. Thecrimpedendofthestovepipefits
inside the heater flue collar. Install ad-
ditional pipe and elbow with the
CRIMPED END TOWARD THE
HEATER. This will allow any
condensationintheflueto runbackinto
theheater. Smokewillnotescapewhen
installed in this manner.
2. Slope any horizontal pipe upward
toward the chimney at least 1/4 inch for
each foot of horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of
clearance between any horizontal pip-
ing and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the
chimney flue. (Fig. 8)
The door knob is mounted inside of the
cabinet door to facilitate shipping and
must be reversed for proper usage.
To get cabinet door open, place hand
