SAFETY NOTICE: If this heater is not properly installed a house re may result. For your safety, follow the
installation directions. Contact local building or re ofcials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.
1. Check with local codes. The installation comply with their
rulings. Observe closely the clearances to combustibles
specied in this manual.
2. Do not install this heater in a mobile home or trailer.
3. DO NOT connect a wood burning heater to an aluminum
Type B gas vent. This is not safe and is prohibited by the
National Fire Protection Association Code.
4. Always connect this heater to a chimney and vent to the
outside. Never vent to another room or inside a building.
5. The freestanding room heater requires a masonry or a UL
Listed Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance
Chimney.
6. Be sure that your chimney is safely constructed and in good
repair. Have the chimney inspected by the Fire Department
or a qualied inspector. Your insurance company may be
able to recommend a qualied inspector.
7. Make sure the chimney is high enough to give a good draft.
8. Inspect chimney connector and chimney twice monthly dur-
ing the heating season for any deposit of creosote or soot
which must be removed (see Chimney Maintenance).
9. DO NOT BE ALARMED IF HEATER SMOKES UPON
INITIAL FIRING. The special paint used on this heater
must be cured during initial ring. This smoking will occur
only on initial ring.
10. CAST IRON PARTS MUST BE "SEASONED" TO AVOID
CRACKING. BUILD ONLY SMALL FIRES DURING THE
FIRST FEW DAYS OF USE.
11. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this heater
who is unfamiliar with the correct operation of the heater.
12. For additional information on using your Room Heater safely,
obtain a copy of the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) publication "Chimneys, Fireplaces, and Solid Fuel
Burning Appliances" NFPA No. 211(USA).
13. Disposal of Ashes- Place ashes in a metal container with a
tight tting lid. Keep the closed container on a non-combus-
tible oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials. Keep the ashes in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled. The ashes may be buried
in the ground or picked up by a refuse collector.
14. Keep the rebox section free of excess ashes.
15. Observe clearances to combustible materials specied in
this manual to avoid a re hazard.
16. CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS- This heater has a painted
jacket, which is durable but it will not stand rough handling
or abuse. When installing your heater, use care in handling.
Clean with soap and warm water when heater is not hot.
DO NOT use any acids or scouring soap, as these wear
and dull the nish. PAINT DISCOLORATION WILL OCCUR
IF THE HEATER IS OVERFIRED. FOLLOW OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
17. The rebox walls in this heater may become slightly distorted
over a period of use. The slight distortion does not affect
the operation of the unit.
18. CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHIL-
DREN, CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT
MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
19. CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBU-
TION OR DUCT SYSTEM.
20. CAUTION: STORE SOLID WOOD FUEL A SAFE DIS-
TANCE AWAY. DO NOT STORE SOLID WOOD FUEL
WITHIN HEATER INSTALLATION CLEARANCES OR
WITHIN THE SPACE REQUIRED FOR ASH REMOVAL.
21. DO NOT USE A GRATE OR ELEVATE THE FIRE.
22. WE RECOMMEND THAT SMOKE DETECTORS BE IN-
STALLED IN YOUR HOME.

Keep the chimney connection as short as possible. The
heater must have its own chimney ue. Do not connect
any other appliance to the same ue. If there is no chim-
ney where you wish to place the heater, you can use a UL
Listed Type 103 HT, Solid Fuel, Factory Built Chimney.
Place the heater on solid masonry or solid concrete.
When the heater is used on a combustible oor, use a
non-combustible oor protector having a thermal con-
ductivity of K=0.45 BTU in./ft. 2 hr.deg. F. with 28 gauge
sheet metal or a UL Listed Floor Protector.
Have the oor
protector with the specied dimensions.
Check Figures 2, 3, & 4. You should have at least the
clearances shown from the heater and the connector pipe
to combustible surfaces. If you have a solid brick or stone
wall behind your heater, you can place the heater as close
as you wish to the wall. If the wall is only faced with brick
or stone, treat it as a combustible wall.

Two basic types of chimneys are approved for
use with solid fuel. Factory-built and masonry.
Factory-built chimney must comply with UL
standard in the US.
Do not expect your stove or furnace to create
draft. Draft is not a function of the appliance.
Draft is purely a function of the chimney. Mod-
ern stoves and furnaces are much more air-
tight and efcient than those of the past, and,
therefore, require greater draft. A minimum
of .05" measured in water column (gauges to
measure chimney draft are readily available
at stove shops and are economical to pur-
chase or rent) is required for proper drafting
to prevent back-pufng, smoke spillage, and
to maximize performance.
Chimneys perform two functions - one of which
is apparent: The chimney provides a means
for exhausting smoke and ue gases result-
ing 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 wood 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).
A chimney connector shall not pass through
an attic, roof space, closet, oor, ceiling, or
similar concealed space. Where passage
through a wall or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation must
conform with NFPA 211.
8
Many people may wish to convert an existing
replace to heater use. Usually, safe connection
of stovepipe to a masonry chimney requires more
effort than connection to a prefabricated chimney.
The replace must be tightly closed and sealed
at the damper in the ue. Good sealants are
high-temperature caulking, ceramic wool, and
furnace cement. Always remember to inspect
the masonry chimney and replace. If necessary,
clean the ue and smoke shelf before beginning
your installation. Install the heater into the re-
place so that the system can be dismantled for
cleaning and inspection.
Before deciding to convert your replace, keep in
mind that some replaces and existing chimneys
are unsafe. They must be structurally sound, and
the ue liner must be in good condition. Do not
use a chimney if it is unlined (should have a re
clay tile liner to protect brickwork). Have it relined
professionally. Clearances to combustibles are
explained in the previous section on masonry
chimneys. If you have any questions regarding
the condition of the chimney, consult a qualied
engineer, competent mason, or knowledgeable
inspector.
CAUTION:
NOT ALL FIREPLACES ARE
SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION
OF A WOOD HEATER.
Many prefabricated replaces fall into the "zero-
clearance replace" category. This is a factory-
built metal replace with multi-layered construc-
tion. It is designed to provide enough insulation
and/or air cooling so that the base, back and
sides can be safely placed in direct contact with
combustible oors and walls. Although many
prefabricated replaces have been tested by
nationally recognized organizations for use as
replaces, they have not been tested to accept
heaters. In fact, their use as such may void the
manufacturer's warranty.
Steel-lined replaces, on the other hand, can be
used with heaters. These units use a 1/4-inch
rebox liner and an air chamber in connection with
8 inches of masonry to meet code. They contain all
the essential parts of a replace, rebox, damper,
throat, smoke shelf, and smoke chamber. Many
of them look exactly like a masonry replace and
must be checked closely for above requirements
before installing a wood heater into them.
Another method frequently used by some people
is to vent the heater directly into the replace.
This does not meet code since the heater is be-
ing vented into another appliance - the replace.
This method should not be attempted because
combustion products will deposit and build up in
the rebox or replace. Be certain not to install
a hazard in your house. You will void your war-
ranty with this installation.
9
When considering a masonry chimney, round
tiles are preferable to square or rectangular, as
round tiles have much better airow character-
istics and are far easier to clean. Unfortunately,
most North American chimneys use square or
rectangular tile liners that are really designed
for open replaces, not stoves or furnaces. Of
most importance, second only to overall chimney
height, is the diameter of the ue liner itself. In
most instances, it should be sized to the appli-
ance; i.e., 6" ue outlet on the appliance requires
a 6" chimney. The inner diameter should never
be less than the ue-outlet diameter and should
never be greater than 50% larger than the appli-
ance ue outlet. For example, do not expect a
wood or coal burning stove or furnace to func-
tion properly if installed into a chimney with a
ue greater than 50% more than the appliance
outlet - - such as a 6" ue outlet requires a 6"
diameter for optimum drafting, but can function
well with an 8", but becomes borderline beyond
an 8" diameter.
Masonry chimneys built of concrete blocks with
or without ue liners do not meet modern build-
ing codes. A solid fuel appliance must not be
joined to a chimney ue which is connected to
another appliance burning other fuels.
If your chimney has a typically oversized ue
liner of, say 8 x 12 inches, or greater, or if it is
unlined, it will be necessary for you to reline the
chimney, using any of the modern approved and
economical methods such as stainless steel,
castable refractory, or properly sized reclay
linings.
If you have any questions regarding venting your
appliance, feel free to contact the factory at the
address and phone number on this Owner's
Manual. You may also contact NFPA (National
Fire Protection Association) and request NFPA
Standard 211 (1984 Edition-US). Another helpful
publication is NFPA Standard 908(US). Specify
1984 Edition of either of the above US publica-
tions.
10
Connection of the stovepipe directly into the
existing masonry chimney over the replace
opening is a more desirable method. This instal-
lation performs better, yielding more heat and
better draft; it is also easy to clean and inspect
for creosote. Before beginning this type of in-
stallation plan carefully; a high degree of skill is
required to insure safety.
An entry port for the stovepipe must be cut
through the chimney with minimum damage to
the reclay liner. Some involved measurements
may be required to locate the ue liner exactly.
Before cutting, take time to mark the size and
position of the entry port. Position the entry port
so that at least 8 inches of the ue liner remains
below the port.
Keep in mind that wood mantels and combustible
trim around the replace must have adequate
clearances from the heater and stovepipe or
must be protected in an approved manner. Also,
be sure to leave at least an 18 inch clearance
between the top of the stovepipe and the com-
bustible ceiling or other combustibles. Placing
the center of the entry port 2 feet below the ceiling
will insure proper clearance for 6-inch, 8-inch,
and 10-inch stovepipes. Next, install a reclay
(at least 5/8 inch thick) or metal thimble, being
sure that the thimble is ush with the inner ue
lining, secure the thimble in place with refractory
mortar. 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 ue lining.
There should be a small airspace (approximately
1/2 inch) between the stovepipe and thimble,
allowing for expansion of the stovepipe. Seal
this airspace with high-temperature caulking or
ceramic wool. Finally, be sure to wire the damper
closed and apply the same sealant you used at
the stovepipe and thimble junction.
Do not use the Type B installation (not illustrated
in this manual), that is, venting up through the
replace opening, regardless of whether the
replace opening is closed.
Masonry chimneys have several positive attri-
butes: If properly built, they are quite durable,
and most homeowners consider them more at-
tractive perhaps than an unenclosed factory built
chimney. And, if the chimney is located within
the connes of the house (that is, not attached
to an exterior wall), its mass alone will store heat
longer and continue to release the heat long
after the re has died. Masonry chimneys have
many disadvantages though. Masonry chimneys
constructed on an exterior wall are exposed to
cold outdoor temperatures, promoting greater
heat loss, higher accumulations of creosote,
and reduced draft which leads to poorer heater
or furnace performance.

1. Crimped end of the pipe must be installed toward the heater. The pipe
should slide inside 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 " inch
for each foot of horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18" inches clearance between any horizontal pip-
ing and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney ue.(Fig. 8)
5. Seal each connector pipe joint with furnace cement. Also seal the pipe at
the chimney.
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.
8. The chimney connector must not pass through an attic or roof space,
closet, or any concealed space, or oor, ceiling, wall or combustible con-
struction.

Use Hardwood that has been split and air-dried to obtain maxi-
mum burning efciency.
1. Open door and place paper and kindling in the rebox.
2. Light the re and close the doors until the kindling is burning.
3. Open the doors and add fuel as desired.
Fuel should be added in small amounts to give more complete
combustion and uniform room temperature.
Empty the ashes regularly. Do not allow ashes to build up.
Dispose of hot ashes properly in a metal container with a lid.
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. (Fig. 8)
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.
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 accu-
mulates on the ue lining. When ignited this creosote makes
an extremely hot re.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected 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 creosote may cause a house re. Creosote may be
removed by using a chimney brush or other commonly avail-
able materials.
Chimney res burn very hot. If the chimney connector should
glow red, immediately call the re department, then reduce the
re by closing the damper and pour a large quantity of coarse
salt, baking soda or cool ashes on top of the re in the rebox.
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
qualied person before using again.

1. Be sure heater has cooled before beginning.
2. Remove 12, 8-32 x ¼ screws and glass re-
tainers with screw driver.
3. Remove damaged glass (2).
4. To reinstall glass, follow steps 1-2 in reverse
order. Be sure to replace the gasket on the
glass.
5. Caution: Do not operate with broken glass.
6. When removing broken glass, wear thick
gloves, and safety glasses. Keep children
away. Discard broken glass.
Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate inside
the heater to the point that they obstruct airow
through the burning wood. If ashes obstruct the
airow, poor burning of the wood is likely.
When removing ashes from the heater, wear non-
combustible gloves to protect your hands from hot
surfaces. Remove the ash dump cover exposing the
hole in the bottom of the rebox. Rake ashes through
the hole into the ash pan in the pedestal using an
ash shovel. Put the ash dump cover back in place
before removing the ash pan. Remove ash pan and
dump ashes into a safe, noncombustible container.
Replace the ash pan after dumping the ashes.
Ashes should never be placed in a wooden, card-
board, or plastic container, nor in a paper or plastic
bag, no matter how long the re has been out. Coals
have been known to stay hot for several days when
embedded in ashes.
7. Use part no. 891108 only, to replace broken
glass. Glass dimensions (8⅞ x 20¼ x 5mm)
