MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE WALLS US, CANADA
Take into account the chimney’s location to insure it is not too close
to neighbors or in a valley which may cause unhealthy or nuisance
conditions. Heater/Floor Protector Location (Dimensions are required
for non-protected surfaces, see the chart for dimensions for protected
surfaces). Place the heater on solid masonry or solid concrete. When
the heater is used on a combustible oor, use an Underwriters Listed oor
protector. The oor protector must comply with UL Standards (USA) and
CAN/ULC (Canada) and have an R-value of 2.06. The oor protector
needs to extend at least 16" (Canada requires 18") beyond the door side
of the heater and 8" to each side. It should also extend 8" beyond the rear
for Canada. The oor protector needs to extend 2" beyond each side of
the ue pipe if it is elbowed towards a wall as well as 2" on each side of the
ue for horizontal runs.
1. After consulting the installation instructions for minimum clearances
to combustibles, locate the oor protector accordingly and carefully
place the stove in the selected location. Install stovepipe, elbows,
and thimble as necessary, utilizing either a recently cleaned and
inspected masonry chimney (properly lined) or a UL, ULC Listed
chimney. Ensure that the xed ue bafe that is provided is installed
in the ue collar. This bafe is intended to be in a xed location for
optimal combustion. Do not remove or alter the location of this bafe.
It is against federal regulations and will void the warranty.
2. Again, check the following illustrations and be sure to have the
clearances shown from the heater and the connector pipe to
combustible surfaces. If there is a solid brick or stone wall behind the
heater, please consult the local building code for specic regulations
that may apply in the area. However, if the wall is only faced with brick
or stone, consider it a combustible wall. To reduce ue clearances
from combustible materials, contact the local safety department.
3. If the chimney drafts excessively, purchase and use a Barometric
Draft Regulator (DR6 available from factory).
4. The chimney connection should be as short as possible, and the
heater must have its own ue. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING OTHER APPLIANCES.
5. Use three sheet metal screws in each stove pipe and or elbow joint to
rmly hold the pipe together. Seal around the screws
6. Do not install this heater in a mobile home or trailer.
7. Check local building and insurance codes. The installation must
comply with their rulings.
CAUTION! Keep furnishings and
other combustible materials
away from the heater.

Chimney Connection
MASONRY CHIMNEY
The masonry chimney must be code approved and have a ue liner.
The masonry chimney must comply with UL, ULC codes. Before using an
existing masonry chimney, clean the chimney and inspect the ue liner
to be sure it is safe to use. Make repairs before attaching the heater. The
connector pipe and ttings you will need to connect directly to a masonry
chimney are shown. If the connector pipe must go through a combustible
wall before entering the masonry chimney, consult a qualied mason or
chimney dealer. The installation must conform to local re codes, and
NFPA 211(USA) or CAN/CSA-B365-M91 (Canada). Do not connect this
heater into the same chimney ue as the replace or ue from another
heater. The chimney used for a heater must not be used to ventilate
the cellar or basement. If there is a cleanout opening at the base of the
chimney, close it tightly.
UL/ULC LISTED CHIMNEY
Carefully follow the chimney manufacturer's instructions. Use only listed
type HT per UL 103, ULC, 6-in diameter black or blued chimney connector,
minimum 24 gauge steel. If your chimney starts at the ceiling, you will need
enough 6" pipe to reach the ceiling. The top of the chimney must be at
least 3 feet above the roof and be at least 2 feet higher than any point of
the roof within 10 feet. Use double or triple wall pipe for the exterior portion
of the chimney.
RULES FOR CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
1. The crimped end of the pipe must be installed toward the heater.
The pipe should slide into the ue collar. The pipe should be rmly
attached to the ue collar with 3 screws and sealed with furnace
cement.
2. Slope any horizontal pipe upward toward the chimney at least 1/4" for
each foot of horizontal run. The horizontal section must be a minimum
of 24" from the stove.
3. You must have at least 18" inches clearance between any horizontal
piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney ue.
5. Seal each connector pipe joint with furnace cement. Also, seal the
pipe at the chimney. Seal the inside with high-temperature silicone
and the outside with high-temperature tape.
6. Use 3 sheet metal screws at each joint to make the piping rigid.
7. It is recommended that no more than two (2) 90-degree bends be
used in the stove pipe installation as more than two (2) may decrease
the amount of draw and possibly cause smoke spillage.
NOTE: The chimney connector shall not pass through an attic, roof space,
oor, ceiling, or similar concealed space. Where passage through a wall
or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation must
conform with CAN/CSA - B365.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the
chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of
the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too
much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may
damage the catalytic combustor (if equipped). Inadequate draft may
cause backpufng into the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney or the
catalyst (if equipped). Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak
smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints. An
uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.

CONNECTION OF CHIMNEY CONNECTOR TO A MASONRY
CHIMNEY THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE WALL
Figure 8 shows how to connect the chimney connector of a heater
to a masonry chimney through a combustible wall. There are ve
allowable ways that a chimney connector can be connected to
a masonry chimney by passing through a combustible wall. NFPA
Standard 211 allows the following wall pass-through systems.
1. Use a minimum 3-1/2" thick brick masonry wall framed into the
combustible wall. A reclay liner (ASTM C315 or equivalent)
having a 5/8" minimum wall thickness must be used and it
must be at least 12" away from any material that could catch
re. The inside diameter of the reclay liner shall be sized for
the proper snug t of a 6" diameter chimney connector pipe.
The reclay liner shall run from the outer surface of the brick
wall to, but not beyond, the inner surface of the chimney ue
and shall be rmly cemented in place (see Part A).
2. Use a solid insulated listed factory-built chimney length having
an inside diameter of 6" and 1" or more of solid insulation.
There must be at least a 9" air space between the outer wall
of the chimney length and any combustible materials. The
inner end of the chimney length shall be ush with the inside
of the masonry chimney, the ue shall be sealed to the ue
and to the brick masonry penetration with non-water-soluble
refractory cement. Sheet steel supports which are at least 24
gauge(0.024") in thickness shall be securely fastened to wall
surfaces on all sides. Fasteners between supports and the
chimney length shall not penetrate the chimney liner (see
Part B).
3. Use a 10" diameter ventilated thimble made of at least 24
gauge(0.024") steel having two 1" air channels. The ventilated
thimble must be separated from combustible materials
by a minimum of 6" glass ber insulation. The opening in
the combustible wall shall be covered and the thimble
supported with sheet steel supports which are at least 24
gauge (0.024") in thickness. The sheet steel supports shall be
securely fastened to wall surfaces on all sides and shall be
sized to t and hold the chimney section. Fasteners used to
secure chimney sections shall not penetrate chimney ue
liner (see Part C).
4. Use an 8" inside diameter solid insulated listed factory-built
chimney length which has 1" or more of solid insulation. The
minimum length of this chimney section shall be 12" and
will serve as a pass-through for the 6" diameter chimney
connector. There must be at least a 12" air space between
the outer wall of the chimney section and any combustible
materials. The chimney section shall be concentric with and
spaced 1" away from the chimney connector by means
of sheet steel support plates on both ends of the chimney
section. The opening in the combustible wall shall be covered
and the chimney section supported on both sides with sheet
steel supports which are at least 24 gauge (0.024") in thickness.
The sheet steel supports shall be securely fastened to wall
surfaces on all sides and shall be sized to t and hold the
chimney section. Fasteners used to secure chimney sections
shall not penetrate chimney ue liner (see Part C).
5. A listed factory-built wall pass-through system may be
purchased and installed according to the instructions pack
aged with it to provide a safe method of passing the chimney
connector through a combustible wall for connection to a
masonry chimney.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS PERTAINING TO FIGURE 8 AND THE ABOVE WALL PASS-THROUGH SYSTEMS
1. Insulation material used as part of wall pass-through system shall be of noncombustible material and shall
have a thermal conductivity of 1.0 Btu • in./ft.² • °F (4.88 kg • cal/hr • m² • °C) or less
2. All clearances and thicknesses are minimums: larger clearances and thickness are acceptable.
3. A chimney thimble, as shown for 3" and 4" above (Parts C and D respectively of Figure 8) shall be for types "3"
and 4" connections to facilitate removal of the chimney connector for cleaning. The chimney thimble shall
be of ASTM C315 reclay with 5/8" minimum wall thickness, or material of equivalent durability. The inside
diameter of the thimble shall be sized for the proper snug t of a 6" diameter chimney connector pipe. The
thimble shall be installed without damage to the chimney ue. The thimble shall extend through the chimney
wall to, but not beyond, the inner surface of the chimney ue and shall be permanently cemented in place
with high temperature cement.
4. A chimney connector to a masonry chimney, except for 2" above (Part B of Figure 8), shall extend through
the wall pass-through system to the inner face of the chimney ue, but not beyond. It does not have to be
fastened in place so long as it cannot accidently be pulled out of the chimney or shoved into the chimney
ue. If fasteners are used to secure the chimney connector to a masonry chimney, the fasteners shall not
penetrate the chimney ue liner.
5. Any material used to close up any opening for the connector shall be noncombustible.
PART E
In addition to the methods shown by A, B, C, and D of Figure 8, a listed factory-built wall pass-through system may
be purchased and installed according to the instructions packaged with it to provide a safe method of passing
chimney connector through a combustible wall for a connection to a masonry chimney.
CONNECTION OF CHIMNEY CONNECTOR TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY WHEN CHIMNEY CONNECTOR DOES NOT
PASS THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE WALL
If the chimney connector does not have to pass through a combustible wall to get to a masonry chimney, simply
connect the chimney connector directly to the masonry chimney's chimney thimble as described and shown by
parts C and D. Remember, the chimney connector should extend into the chimney thimble to the inner face of
the chimney ue but not beyond; if the chimney connector is extended through the chimney thimble into the
chimney ue, resistance to the ow of smoke and gases up the chimney will occur; that ow resistance will have
an adverse affect on the operation and performance of the heater and venting system.
CAUTION! NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THE HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE
HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
WARNING! NEVER STORE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY GASOLINE. IN THE VICINITY OF THE HEATER.
CAUTION! OVERFIRING THE APPLIANCE MAY CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE. IF A UNIT OR CHIMNEY CONNECTOR GLOWS,
YOU ARE OVERFIRING.

WARNING! USE ONLY THE LEGS PROVIDED WITH THIS HEATER. REFER TO THE "INSTALLATION" SECTION OF THIS
MANUAL.
CAUTION HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE
SKIN BURNS
CAUTION DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL
CAUTION! USE WOOD OR WOOD-LIKE MATERIALS ONLY. DO NOT USE COAL OR CHARCOAL. COAL OR
CHARCOAL WILL DESTROY THE FIREBOX. DO NOT USE DRIED LUMBER OR TREATED WOOD.
NOTE: DO NOT ELEVATE FIRE OR USE WITH A GRATE, BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON THE HEARTH.
WARNING! DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE SPACE BENEATH THE HEATER

-10-
CAUTION: A chimney re may cause ignition of wall studs or rafters which you thought were a safe distance from
the chimney. If you have a chimney re, have your chimney inspected by a qualied person before using again.
SERVICE HINTS
Do not expect a heater to draw. It is the chimney that creates the draft. Smoke spillage into the house or excessive
buildup of water or creosote in the chimney are warnings that the chimney is not functioning properly. Correct
problem before using heater. Possible causes are:
1. The connector pipe may push into the chimney too far, stopping the draft.
2. Do not connect two heaters into the same chimney ue.
3. The chimney used for a heater must not be used to ventilate the cellar or basement. If there is a cleanout
opening at the base of the chimney, it must be closed tightly.
4. If the chimney is operating too cool, water will condense in the chimney and run back into the stove.
Creosote formation will be rapid and may block the chimney. Operate the heater at a high enough re to
keep the chimney warm preventing this condensation.
5. If the re burns well but sometimes smokes or burns slowly, it may be caused by the chimney top being lower
than another part of the house or a nearby tree. The wind blowing over a house or 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
above the roof and be at least to 2 feet higher than any point of the roof within 10 feet.
Woodstove Utilization
Your heating unit was designed to burn wood only; no other materials should be burned. Waste and other
ammable materials should not be burned in your stove. Higher efciencies and lower emissions generally result
when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Burning the following materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause
smoke.
DO NOT BURN:
1. Residential or commercial garbage;
2. Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4. Materials containing plastic;
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners,
or asphalt products;
6. Materials containing asbestos;
7. Construction or demolition debris;
8. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or
particleboard. The prohibition against burning
these materials does not prohibit the use of re
starters made from paper, cardboard, sawdust,
wax, and similar substances for the purpose of
starting a re in the unaffected wood heater.
9. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
10. Manure or animal remains;
11. Saltwater driftwood or other previously salt water-
saturated materials;
12. Unseasoned wood;
13. Any materials that are not included in the warranty
and owner’s manual for the subject wood heater; or
14. Any materials that were not included in the
certication tests for the subject wood heater.
Do not burn manufactured logs made of wax impregnated sawdust or logs with any
chemical additives. Manufactured logs made of 100% compressed sawdust can be
burned, but be careful burning too much of these logs at the same time. Start with
one manufactured log and see how the stove reacts. You can increase the number
of logs burned at a time making sure the temperature never rises higher than 475 °F
(246 °C) on a magnetic thermometer for installation on single wall stove pipes or 900
°F (482 °C). The thermometer should be placed about 18” (457 mm) above the stove.
Higher temperatures can lead to overheat and damage your stove. Dead wood lying
on the forest oor should be considered wet and requires full seasoning time. Standing
deadwood can usually be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned. Splitting and stacking
wood before it is stored accelerates the drying time. Storing wood on an elevated surface from the ground and
under a cover or covered area from rain or snow also accelerates drying time. A good indicator if the wood is
ready to burn is to check the piece ends. If cracks are radiating in all directions from the center then the wood
should be dry enough to burn. If your wood sizzles in the re, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully
cured and should be seasoned longer.

-11-
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you use DRY WOOD only in your wood stove. The wood should have dried for 9
to 15 months, such that the humidity content (in weight) is reduced below 20% of the weight of the log. It is very
important to keep in mind that even if the wood has been cut for one, two or even more years, it is not necessarily
dry if it has been stored in poor conditions. Under extreme conditions, it may rot, instead of drying. This point
cannot be overstressed; the vast majority of the problems related to the operation of a wood stove is caused by
the fact that the wood used was too damp or has dried in poor conditions. These problems can be:
– ignition problems
– creosote build-up causing chimney res
– low energy yield
– blackened windows
– incomplete log combustion
Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 6” in diameter should be split. The wood should not be
stored directly on the ground. Air should circulate through the cord. A 24” to 48” air space should be left between
each row of logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location possible. The upper layer of wood should be
protected from the elements but not the sides.
TESTING THE WOOD
• When the stove is thoroughly warmed, place one piece of split wood (about ve inches in diameter) parallel
to the door on the bed of red embers.
• Keep the air control fully open by pulling on it and close the door. If the ignition of the piece is accomplished
within 90 seconds from the time it was placed inside the stove, the wood is correctly dried. If ignition takes
longer, the wood is damp.
• If the wood hisses and water or vapor escapes at the ends of the piece, the wood is soaked or freshly cut.
Do not use this wood in the stove. Large amounts of creosote could be deposited in the chimney, creating
potential conditions for a chimney re.
TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating
instructions in this manual.
THE FIRST FIRES
The fresh paint on this stove needs to be cured to preserve its quality. Once the fuel charge is properly ignited,
only burn small res in the stove for the rst four hours of operation. Make sure that there’s enough air circulation
while curing the stove. The odors could be smelled during the 3 or 4 rst res. Never start your stove outside. A
person will not be able to see if the unit is overheating.
CAUTION: Never alter the damper slide or the adjustment range to increase ring for any reason. Doing so
could result in heater damage and will void your warranty.

Any type of wood may be used in your stove, but specic varieties have better energy yields than others. Please
consult the following table in order to make the best possible choice.

-12-
VISIBLE SMOKE
Visible smoke is basically unburned fuel and moisture leaving your stove. The amount of visible smoke being
produced can be an effective method of determining how efciently the combustion process is taking place at
the given settings. Learn to adjust the air settings of your specic unit to produce the smallest amount of visible
smoke. Remember that wood that has not been seasoned properly and has a high wood moisture content will
produce excess visible smoke and burn poorly.
OPERATION OF THE HEATER
1. Burn wood or wood products only. The wood should be well seasons prior to use for maximum efciency.
2. Provide air into the room for combustion.
3. Do Not touch the heater after ring until it has cooled.
Do Not use a grate or elevate re, build re directly on the hearth. The fuel feed door must remain closed during
operation.
EFFICIENCY
Efciencies can be based on either the lower heating value (LHV) or the higher heating value (HHV) of the fuel.
The lower heating value is when water leaves the combustion process as a vapor, in the case of woodstoves the
moisture in the wood being burned leaves the stove as a vapor. The higher heating value is when water leaves
the combustion process completely condensed. In the case of woodstoves this would assume the exhaust gases
are room temperature when leaving the system, and therefore calculations using this heating value consider
the heat going up the chimney as lost energy. Therefore, efciency calculated using the lower heating value of
wood will be higher than efciency calculated using the higher heating value. In the United States all woodstove
efciencies should be calculated using the higher heating value.
As an operator of a wood heater the best way to achieve optimum efciencies is to learn the burn characteristic
of the appliance and burn well-seasoned wood. A good rule of thumb is that if the heater is not producing, or
producing very little visible smoke it is burning efciently. Also remember that higher burn rates are not always
the best heating burn rates; after a good re is established a lower burn rate may be a better option for efcient
heating. A lower burn rate slows the ow of usable heat out of the home through the chimney, and it also
consumes less wood.
BUILDING A FIRE
The top down method of re building is recommended for this appliance. Place the largest pieces of wood on
the bottom, laid in parallel and close together. Smaller pieces are placed in a second layer, crossways to the
rst. A third layer of still smaller pieces is laid crossways to the second, this time with some spaces between. Then
a fourth layer of loose, small kindling and twisted newspaper sheets tops off the pile.
OPERATIONAL TIPS FOR GOOD, EFFICIENT, AND CLEAN COMBUSTION
• Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and a high burn rate to increase the stove temperature
• Be considerate of the environment and only burn dry wood
• Burn small, intense res instead of large, slow burning res when possible
• Learn your appliance's operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance
• Burning unseasoned wet wood only hurts your stoves efciency and leads to accelerated creosote buildup in
your chimney
RELOADING
Once a good bed of embers has been obtained, the unit should be reloaded. Open the door very slowly; open
it one or two inches for 5 to 10 seconds, before opening it completely to increase the draft and thus eliminate the
smoke which is stagnant in a state of slow combustion in the stove. Then bring the red embers to the front of the
stove and reload the unit. It is important to note that wood combustion consumes ambient oxygen in the room. In
the case of negative pressure, it is a good idea to allow fresh air in the room, either by opening a window slightly
or by installing a fresh air intake system on an outside wall.
WARNINGS:
• NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR STOVE. IF ANY PART OF THE STOVE STARTS TO GLOW RED, OVER FIRING IS HAPPENING.
• THE INSTALLATION OF A LOG CRADLE OR GRATES IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN YOUR WOOD STOVE BUILD FIRE
DIRECTLY ON HEARTH.
• ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT IN
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATER AND TO THE CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR IF SO EQUIPPED.

-13-
CREOSOTE - FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
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 relatively 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.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating
season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated (3mm or more), it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re. We strongly recommend that a magnetic thermometer be installed
on the smoke exhaust pipe, approximately 18” above the stove. This thermometer will indicate the temperature
of the gas exhaust fumes within the smoke exhaust system. The ideal temperature for these gases is somewhere
between 275°F and 500°F. Below these temperatures, the build-up of creosote is promoted. Above 500°, heat is
wasted since a too large quantity is lost into the atmosphere. Failure to remove creosote may cause a house re.
Creosote may be removed by using a chimney brush or other commonly available materials. Chimney res burn
very hot. If the chimney connector should glow red, immediately call the re department, then reduce the re by
blocking/closing the inlet air. Since this is a single burn rate heater a non- combustible material should be used
to block inlet air openings. If the re is burning vigorously, spray a multipurpose dry chemical extinguisher onto
the re in the stove if it can be done safely. Avoid introducing water into the chimney if possible as water could
damage the heated ue liner.
ASH REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in the rebox or ash pan, and when the re has burned down and cooled,
remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the rebox bottom to help maintain a hot
charcoal bed. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-tting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible oor or on the ground, away from all combustible materials, pending
nal disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when
exposed to elevated concentrations for extended periods of time. While the modern combustion systems in
heaters drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or
conned areas can be dangerous. Also make sure you stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good working
order and sealing properly to ensure unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke and CO
monitors in areas expected to or having the potential to generate CO.
TO PREVENT CREOSOTE BUILD UP
• Always burn dry wood. This allows clean burns and higher chimney temperatures, therefore, less creosote
deposit.
• The secondary combustion can only take place if the rebox is hot enough.
• Always check for creosote deposit once every two months and have your chimney cleaned at least once a
year.
If a chimney or creosote re occurs, close all dampers (if applicable) immediately. Wait for the re to go out and
the heater to cool, then inspect the chimney for damage. If no damage results, perform a chimney cleaning to
ensure there is no more creosote deposits remaining in the chimney.
CAUTIONS: ASHES COULD CONTAIN HOT EMBERS EVEN AFTER TWO DAYS WITHOUT OPERATING THE STOVE.

-14-
Maintenance
Your wood stove is a high efciency stove and, therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform
a visual inspection of the stove every time it is emptied, in order to ensure that no parts have been damaged,
in which case repairs must be performed immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe
periodically for creosote buildup or obstructions.
GASKETING
This door uses a 3/8" rope gasket. It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which makes your stove
door air tight) once a year, in order to ensure good control over the combustion, maximum efciency, and
security. To change the door gasket, simply remove the damaged one. Carefully clean the available gasket
groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this purpose and install the new gasket. You may light up your
stove again approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation.
AIR TUBES
The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to provide an accurate mix of secondary air to ensure the
highest efciency. Any damage or deterioration of these tubes may reduce the efciency of combustion. The
air tubes are held in position by either screws or snap pins. Locate these to either side of the tube and remove to
allow the tube to be removed and replaced.
SECONDARY AIR TUBES
The secondary air tubes must be cleaned with a wire brush. If debris remains in holes lightly tap with a wooden
stick to remove.
PAINT
Only clean your stove with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the paint nish. If the paint becomes scratched or
damaged, it is possible to give your wood stove a brand new look, by repainting it with a 1200° F heat resistant
paint. For this purpose, simply scrub the surface to be repainted with ne sand paper, clean it properly, and apply
thin coats (2) of paint successively.
WARNING:
NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITHOUT A GASKET OR WITH A BROKEN ONE. DAMAGE TO THE STOVE OR EVEN
HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.

Votre poêle à bois est à haute efcacité et ne requiert donc que très peu d’entretien. Il est important de faire une
inspection visuelle du poêle, chaque fois qu’il est vidé, an d’assurer qu’aucune pièce n’a été endommagée,
ce qui nécessiterait une réparation immédiate. Inspectez et nettoyez périodiquement la cheminée et le
raccordement du tuyau pour y déceler l’accumulation de créosote ou des obstructions.
Cette porte utilise un joint de corde de 3/8 po. Il est recommandé de changer le joint de la porte (assurant
l’étanchéité à votre porte) une fois par année, an de vous assurer un bon contrôle sur la combustion, une
efcacité maximale et la sécurité. Pour changer le joint de la porte, retirez simplement celui qui est endommagé.
Nettoyez ensuite avec soin la rainure du joint, appliquez un silicone à haute température vendu à cette n et
installez le nouveau joint. Vous pourrez allumer votre poêle à nouveau dans environ 24 heures après avoir terminé
cette opération.
Les conduits d’air secondaires doivent être nettoyés avec une brosse métallique. Si des débris demeurent dans
les trous, frappez légèrement avec un bâton de bois pour les déloger.
Les conduits d’air assemblés dans cette unité sont conçus pour offrir un mélange précis d’air secondaire et
assurer une plus grande efcacité. Tout dommage ou détérioration de ces conduits peuvent réduire l’efcacité
de la combustion. Les conduits d’air sont maintenus en position par des vis ou par des goupilles de blocage.
Localisez et enlevez-les des deux côtés du conduit pour le retirer et le remettre en place.
Nettoyez uniquement votre poêle avec un chiffon doux qui n’endommagera pas le ni. Si la peinture devient
égratignée ou endommagée, il est possible de redonner une apparence neuve à votre poêle en le repeignant
avec une peinture résistant à une chaleur de 649 °C (1200 °F). À cette n, frottez la surface à être repeinte avec
un papier à poncer n, nettoyez et appliquez successivement 2 nes couches de peinture.
AVERTISSEMENT :
NE JAMAIS FAIRE FONCTIONNER LE POÊLE SANS UN JOINT D’ÉTANCHÉITÉ OU AVEC UN JOINT BRISÉ. CECI
POURRAIT CAUSER DES DOMMAGES AU POÊLE OU MÊME CAUSER UN INCENDIE.
