8. please notify the dealer or manufacturer immediately. Replace missing, broken or worn parts with factory original or
equivalent parts only.
9. 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.
10. Always connect this stove to a chimney and vent to the outside. Never vent to a room or inside a building. DO NOT
CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
11. DO NOT CONNECT A WOOD BURNING STOVE TO AN ALUMINUM TYPE B GAS VENT. This is not safe. Use
code-approved masonry chimney with flue liner or an Underwriters Laboratories Listed UL 103 HT (US)/ULC-S629
(CDN) Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance Chimney system. Use a 6˝/152mm diameter chimney, that is
high enough to give a good draft. (See specifics in Chimney Connections instructions).
12. 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.
13. Creosote or soot may build up in the chimney connector 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).
14. 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.
15. 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).
16. 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.
17. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this stove who is unfamiliar with the correct operation of the stove.
18. Do not operate stove while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
19. 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.
NOTE: A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL HEATING AND COOLING CONTRACTOR SHOULD BE CONSULTED IF YOU
HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF THIS SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
This manual describes the installation and operation of the Brand Name, Model # wood heater. This heater meets the
2015 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's crib wood emission limits for wood heaters sold after May 15, 2015. Under
specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from 11,913 to 34,108 Btu/hr.
Note: The BTU ratings mentioned above are based on the EPA test protocol burning dimensional Douglas Fir lumber. Our
advertised BTU’s are based on the first hour of operation at high burn rate burning cordwood.

18. The special paints used on your stove may give off some smoke and an odor while they are curing 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 disappear 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 discoloration 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. When installing your
stove, use care in handling.
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 UNSUPERVISED 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. WHILE TENDING THE FIRE ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, fire retardant hearth gloves and eye
protection, to prevent burns.
25. Never operate this stove with the door open except when re-fueling. Such actions can result in very dangerous operating
conditions.
26. DO NOT OVER FIRE THE STOVE. Over firing 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.
28. NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED with door open. Always close the door after ignition.
29. DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT WORK UNLESS
SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR SUCH INSTALLATIONS.
30. A WOOD-BURNING STOVE MUST NEVER BE INSTALLED IN A HALLWAY OR NEAR A STAIRCASE, 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 combustion 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 installation 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.
If alarm sounds:
• Recognize the symptoms of CO poisoning (headaches, nausea & drowsiness).
• Increase ventilation (open windows & doors).
• Make sure stove doors and/or lids are closed and secured.
• Check stove for smoking or puffing (open airflow controls).
• Check chimney & connector pipe for leaks, blockage or down-draft conditions.
• Check CO device for false alarm.
34. Keep power cords, electrical appliances and/or assemblies outside of the clearance area shown in this manual for
combustible materials.
35. Consult your municipal building department or fire officials about restrictions, permits and installation requirements
for your area.
36. For further information on using your stove safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
publication, “Using Coal and Wood Stoves Safely” NFPA No. HS-10-1978. Write NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy,

CHIMNEY SIZING
Today’s solid fuel heating appliances are much more
efficient than those made in the past. Your heating appliance
has been designed to provide the most efficient transfer
of heat possible from the least amount of fuel. Controlled
combustion is the key to optimum heating performance.
Controlled combustion requires a flow of fresh air into the
appliance, across the fuel and is finally exhausted up the
chimney. Today’s high efficiency stoves transfer more heat
into the living area and less up the chimney. Exhaust gases
are typically at a lower temperature than traditional type
stoves. With lower exhaust temperatures, it is important that
the chimney is correctly sized to the stove. If the chimney
diameter is too large, it will be difficult to raise the chimney
flue temperature to provide for adequate draft. This may
result in a poor burn, smoke spillage, and rapid creosote
creation. A 6” diameter chimney is best suited for this
stove. Your heating appliance must have a minimum of a
6” diameter (152mm) chimney. Maximum chimney diameter
must not exceed 10” (254mm) or have a cross sectional
area greater than 85 sq. in. (550cm2.) Proper draft for this
heating appliance is minimum of 0.05 w.c. (water column
measurement) and is required to prevent back puffing,
smoke spillage and prevent safety hazards. 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.
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. Inadequate
draft may cause backpuffing into the room and ‘plugging’
of the chimney.
“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.”

Connector pipe is used to make the connection
from the ſPCN positioning of your stove to an approved
chimney. Connector pipe is NOT KPENWFGF as part of
the stove. Connector pipe must be 6”/152mm diameter

MASONRY CHIMNEY
The chimney must be a code-approved, masonry
chimney with ƀWG liner. Before using an existing ma-
sonry chimney, clean the chimney, inspect the ƀue
liner and make any repairs needed to be sure it is safe
to use. Make repairs before attaching the stove. The
connector stove pipe and ſVVKPIU you will need to con-
nect directly to a lined masonry chimney are shown in
ſIWTG.
The stove must be connected to either a lined ma-
sonry or manufactured metal chimney built and tested
VQVJGURGEKſECVKQPUNKUVGFQPVJGRTevious pages.
Chimneys perform two functions:
1). As a means of exhausting smoke and
ƀWG gases which are the result of fuel com-
bustion.
2). The chimney (only) provides “draft” which allows
oxygen to be continuously introduced into the
appliance, so that proper combustion is
possible. This stove relies on natural draft to
operate.
NOTICE: Always provide a source of fresh air into
the room where the stove is located. Failure to do
so may result in air starvation of other fuel burn-
ing appliances and the possible development of
hazardous conditions.
A stove DOES NOT create draft. Draft is provided
by the chimney. To achieve proper draft your chimney
must meet the four minimum height requirements
detailed in ſIWTGU 11–13. If these minimum require-
ments are not met your stove will not operate
properly. A minimum of 0.05 w.c. (measured in water
column) is required for proper drafting to prevent back
RWHſPI smoke spillage, and to maximize performance.
(Gauges to measure draft are readily available at stove
stores and are economical to rent or purchase.)
Factors such as wind, barometric pressure, trees,
terrain and chimney temperature can have an adverse
effect on the draft. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for external factors leading to less than
optimal drafting.
Should you have a problem with inadequate draft,
you should contact a licensed heating and cooling con-
tractor for assistance in solving the problem.
For a more in-depth explanation see Chimney Draft
on page 17.

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. NEVER OVERFIRE THIS STOVE BY BUILDING EXCESSIVELY HOT FIRES AS A HOUSE/ BUILDING FIRE MAY
RESULT. YOU ARE OVERFIRING THE STOVE IF UNIT OR STOVEPIPE BEGINS TO GLOW OR TURN RED.
2. NEVER BUILD EXTREMELY LARGE FIRES IN THIS TYPE OF STOVE AS DAMAGE TO THE STOVE OR SMOKE
LEAKAGE MAY RESULT
3. DO NOT BUILD FIRE TOO CLOSE TO GLASS.
4. UNIT IS HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS. DO NOT TOUCH THE STOVE AFTER FIRING UNTIL IT HAS COOLED.
5. PROVIDE AIR INTO THE ROOM FOR PROPER COMBUSTION.
6. INSPECT STOVEPIPE EVERY 60 DAYS. REPLACE IMMEDIATELY IF STOVEPIPE IS RUSTING OR LEAKING
SMOKE INTO THE ROOM.
7. ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT
IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATER.
THIS STOVE IS DESIGNED TO BURN NATURAL WOOD FUEL ONLY!
Hardwood, 18”/46cm to 26”/66cm must be air dried (seasoned) for a minimum of 6 months. Logs greater than 6”/152mm
in diameter should be split. Wood should be stored in a dry, well ventilated area. The humidity content for usable firewood
must be less than 20% of the weight of the log. This heater is designed to burn wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower
emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly
cut hardwoods.
Attempts to use wet or unseasoned wood will cause:
- ignition problems - rapid creosote build-up resulting in chimney fire
- incomplete combustion - low heat yield
- blackened glass
DO NOT BURN:
1. 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. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9. Manure or animal remains;
10. Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water satu-
rated materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
The prohibition against burning these materials does
not prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper,
cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances
for the purpose of starting a fire in an affected wood
heater.
Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
Dead wood lying on the forest floor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing dead wood can
usually be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned. Splitting and stacking wood before it is stored accelerates drying time.
Storing wood on an elevated surface from the ground and under a cover or covered area from rain or snow also acceler-
ates drying time. A good indicator if wood is ready to burn is to check the piece ends. If there are cracks radiating in all
directions from the center then the wood should be dry enough to burn. If your wood sizzles in the fire, even though the
surface is dry, it may not be fully cured, and should be seasoned longer

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPTIMAL FUEL CONSUMPTION
This stove is designed to get the most efficient transfer of heat energy from the wood fuel and radiate it into your living en-
vironment. The fire box introduces combustion air through three sources. (1) Immediately beneath the door opening below
the window is a Lower Primary Air Orifice (LPAO). (2) The door air inlet control brings air into the firebox and controls the
rate of burn (and the amount of heat the stove radiates). (3) The secondary air tubes at the top of the firebox are designed
to ignite the combustion gases (smoke) given off by the burning wood and increases the efficiency of the stove and re-
duces chimney emissions. Smoke given off by burning fuel consists of very small organic liquid droplets. If these droplets
condense, they form a sticky tar-like substance called creosote. When operated properly, this stove is designed to burn
these droplets. Burning these droplets releases heat that would otherwise be lost up the chimney as smoke. Following the
instructions below will help you operate your stove properly to maximize the stove’s performance. Actual performance is
dependent on chimney height, weather, log size, wood species and moisture content. Some experimentation will initially
be required to find that “sweet spot” where your stove performs best. The following will give you a starting point to find
your optimum settings.
When first loading fuel set the door air inlet control at the wide open position for at least 15–20 minutes. When the stove
is working properly you should be able to observe secondary combustion flames above the fuel pieces in front of the
secondary air tubes at the top of the firebox. These secondary flames should continue to burn after the primary air inlet
is reset from wide open to the desired operating setting. If the flames do not continue to burn, open the air control to re-
establish the secondary flames then slowly reset the air control to the desired setting. Initially it may take several attempts
to figure your stove out. But once you find the operating “sweet spot” and the correct mix of procedures to get there, only
minor adjustments will be necessary. The best indicator of a properly operating stove is to look for smoke coming out of
the chimney. You may see steam emissions that will quickly dissipate. Smoke will thin but continue to drift without totally
disappearing. If you do detect smoke emissions, open the air control a little bit, let the stove adjust for 10–15 minutes and
re-check your chimney. Remember – visible smoke represents lost heat.
NOTICE - INITIAL BURNS TO CURE PAINT Because of the high operating temperatures, this stove uses a special high-
temp paint which requires a series of burns to cure the paint for durability and a lifetime of service. Proper curing of the
high-temp paint requires a series of three initial burns. The stove should be allowed to cool off between each burn. The
first two burns should be small fires and low temperatures (250 degrees F) for a duration of 20 minutes each. The third fire
should be at a medium-high temperature (500 F to 700 F) for twenty minutes. Provide adequate cross ventilation to clear
any smoke or odor caused by initial firings.
TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regula-
tions to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this
manual.
EFFICIENCIES
Efficiencies 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 leav-
ing the system, and therefore calculations using this heating value consider the heat going up the chimney as lost energy.
Therefore, efficiency calculated using the lower heating value of wood will be higher than efficiency calculated using the
higher heating value. In the United States all woodstove efficiencies should be calculated using the higher heating value.
The best way to achieve optimum efficiencies is to learn the burn characteristic of you appliance and burn well-seasoned
wood. Higher burn rates are not always the best heating burn rates; after a good fire is established a lower burn rate may
be a better option for efficient heating. A lower burn rate slows the flow of usable heat out of the home through the chim-
ney, and it also consumes less wood.
NOTICE: USE SOLID WOOD MATERIALS ONLY. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS
GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. DO NOT USE COAL. THIS STOVE IS NOT DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE
THE AIR FLOW (DRAFT) NECESSARY TO PROPERLY BURN COAL OR COAL PRODUCTS. DO NOT ELEVATE
FIRE OR USE GRATES OR ANDIRONS. BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON BOTTOM OF FIREBOX.

STARTING A FIRE
DO NOT LEAVE STOVE UNATTENDED WITH DOOR OPEN!
The top down method of fire building is recommended for this appliance. After making sure that the stove air intake con-
trols are fully open (completely pull-out towards you), 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 first. 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. Add large pieces of wood as the fire progresses being careful not to overload. (Do not
fill firebox beyond firebrick area.) An ideal coal bed of 1 –2” should be established to achieve optimum performance. This
unit is designed to function most effectively when air is allowed to circulate to all areas of the firebox. TIP: If ash or coals
remain in the stove, make sure to clear them away from the Lower Primary Air Orifice (LPAO) and rake a slight (1-to-2
inch wide) trough down the center of the coal bed from front to back prior to loading the fuel. Once fuel has been loaded,
close the door and leave the air inlet control fully open until fire is well established (at least 15–20 minutes) being careful
not to overfire (if any of the exterior parts of the stove or chimney connections begin to glow you are overfiring the stove).
Re-adjust the door air inlet control to desired burn rate. (If excessive smoke fills the firebox, open air inlet control slightly
until flames resume and wood is sufficiently ignited.) The basic rule of thumb is “closed - low,” “half way open - medium”
and “fully open - high.”
NOTE: The four (4) inlet holes in the primary air inlet control slide are designed to remain partially open with slide in the
closed position.
1. Set Primary Air Inlet Control Lever “A” to fully open by pushing the center control lever (located under hearth plate)
inward toward the rear of stove. Set the Secondary Air (High Burn) Control Lever “B” to the closed position by pulling
the lever fully out. NOTE: OPEN/HIGH = IN; CLOSED/LOW = OUT (see iIlustrations below)
2. Open the feed door and place several wads of crushed paper in the firebox. Cover the paper with a few pieces of
small kindling wood.
3. Ignite the paper and leave the door slightly open until the kindling fire is established. Close and secure the door.
DO NOT LEAVE STOVE UNATTENDED WITH THE DOOR OPEN!
Slowly add additional wood, adding larger pieces as the fire progresses.
4. Once the fire is fully established you may select the desired burn rate. Be careful not to over fire the stove.
SETTINGS

16
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
VISIBLE SMOKE
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be an effective method of determining how efficiently the combustion
process is taking place at the given settings. Visible smoke consist of unburned fuel and moisture leaving your stove.
Learn to adjust the air settings of your specific unit to produce the smallest amount of visible smoke. Wood that has not
been seasoned properly and has a high wood moisture content will produce excess visible smoke and burn poorly.
ADDING FUEL
If the coal bed is not hot and glowing, rake the coals to the front of the stove, close the door and adjust the air inlet control
to the wide open position. Let the coals reheat for 10–15 minutes. When hot and glowing, spread them out and place your
next fuel load into the stove (make sure no coals or ashes block the LPAO). Leave the door air inlet control in the wide
open position for 15–20 minutes. Fuel load size can vary but should be kept 1–2 inches below the secondary air tubes.
Also position the fuel to leave space so the air from the inlet can work down between the pieces of fuel. This reduces the
time it takes for new fuel to burn properly.
1. When refueling, adjust air inlet control to the fully open position. When fire brightens, slowly and carefully open the
door. This procedure will prevent gases from igniting causing smoke and flame spillage.
2. When adding fuel be careful not to hit, bump or damage the ceramic baffle board located at the top of the firebox. Be
careful not to overload or over fire the stove.
3. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the fire. Do not build fires against glass and make sure the coal bed does
not obstruct the air inlet. Do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that it creates a hazard when opening the
door.
4. Close the feed door and secure tightly.
5. Adjust the air inlet control as described above.
6. Empty ashes regularly. Do not allow ashes to pile up (see Safety Instructions #14 on page 2.)
7. Properly dispose of hot ashes (see Safety Instructions, item #14 on page 2.)
8. Do not over fire the stove (over firing is when any part of the stove exterior or chimney connections glow).
OPERATIONAL TIPS
Operational Tips for Good, Efficient, and Clean Combustion
• Get the appliance hot and establish a good coal bed before adjusting to a low burn rate (this may take 30 minutes or
more depending on your wood)
• 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 fires instead of large, slow burning fires when possible
• Learn your appliance’s operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance
• Burning unseasoned wet wood only hurts your stoves efficiency and leads to accelerated creosote buildup in your
chimney.
CAUTION: This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper operation. It is against federal
regulations to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
AIR TUBES
The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to provide an accurate mix of secondary air to insure the highest ef-
ficiency. Any damage or deterioration of these tubes may reduce the efficiency 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.
BLOWER OPERATION
If your stove is equipped with the blower attachment, follow these instructions for optimal operation. LOW (door air control
is fully closed to 1/4 open): Turn the fan on 30 minutes after fuel has been added and set the fan speed at low.
MEDIUM (door air control 1/4 to 3/4 open): Wait 15 minutes after fuel has been added and set the fan speed control at
high. HIGH (door air control wide open): Wait 5 minutes after fuel has been added and set the fan speed at high.
CREOSOTE – FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
Failure to remove creosote may result in ignition and may cause a house/building fire. Creosote may be removed using
a chimney brush or other commonly available materials from your local hardware retailer. Chimney fires burn very hot. If
the unit or chimney connector should glow red, reduce the fire by closing the inlet air control and immediately call the fire
department. A fire in the firebox may be smothered by pouring a large quantity of coarse salt, baking soda, or cool ashes
on top of the fire.

17
SERVICE HINTS
CAUTION:
DO NOT OVER FIRE APPLIANCE. YOU ARE OVER FIRING IF THE CHIMNEY CONNECTORS OR STOVE
GLOWS RED. CLOSE THE DOOR AND SHUT DAMPER IMMEDIATELY TO REDUCE THE AIR SUPPLY AND
SLOW DOWN THE FIRE.
CAUTION:
SLOW BURNING FIRES AND EXTENDED USE MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE BUILDUP. IGNITION
OF CREOSOTE OR OVER FIRING MAY CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE. CHIMNEY FIRES BURN EXTREMELY HOT
AND MAY IGNITE SURROUNDING MATERIALS. IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
IMMEDIATELY.
CAUTION:
A CHIMNEY FIRE MAY CAUSE IGNITION OF WALL STUDS OR RAFTERS WHICH WERE ASSUMED TO BE
A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE CHIMNEY. IF A CHIMNEY FIRE HAS OCCURRED, HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY
INSPECTED BY A QUALIFIED EXPERT BEFORE USING AGAIN
WARNING: IN CASE OF CHIMNEY FIRE
1. CLOSE AIR INLET CONTROL
2. GET OUT OF THE HOUSE
3. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
PREVENTING CREOSOTE BUILDUP
1. Creosote will inevitably form in your chimney and connector pipe. Following these steps will help reduce the rate of
build up.
2. BURN ONLY SEASONED WOOD that has dried for at least one year.
3. Burn hardwood rather than softwood. Hardwood is denser or heavier wood and burns hotter.
4. Do not attempt to burn (or mix in) green or wet wood. The use of green or wet wood will cause a rapid build up of
creosote. Wood that hisses, sizzles and blackens without igniting in five minutes must be considered too wet to burn.
5. Do not attempt to extend the burn time by using wet wood. Not only does burning wet wood rapidly build up creosote,
but it reduces the heat output by up to 25 percent.
6. Burn the stove with the air inlet control wide open for 10-25 minutes every time fresh wood is loaded into the stove.
Do not load more than ¼ to ½ of the fuel capacity at one time. Loading too much wood at once will cause excessive
smoke which contains creosote. Mature fires or coals produce very little creosote-producing smoke.
7. Burn with the control open for several minutes at numerous intervals throughout the day, being careful not to over fire
the unit. Following this process will help to warm the chimney and reduce the amount of creosote forming condensa-
tion within the chimney.
8. Establish a routine for the handling of fuel, firing, and operating the stove. Check daily for creosote build up until ex-
perience shows how often you need to clean for safe operation. Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less creosote is
deposited and weekly cleanings may be necessary in mild weather even though monthly cleanings may be enough in
the colder months.
CAUTION: RISK OF FIRE 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 flue of a slow-burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to
determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.
If creosote has accumulated (3mm or more) it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
ASH DISPOSAL
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your firebox or ash pan, and when the fire has burned down and cooled, re-
move excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal
bed.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, away from all combustible materials, pending final 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 confined areas can be dangerous. Make
sure your stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order and sealing properly to ensure unintended expo-
sure. It is recommended that you use both smoke and CO monitors in areas having the potential to generate CO.
CHIMNEY DRAFT
The chimney is critical to the proper operation of the stove. It is the chimney that creates draft; THE STOVE DOES
NOT AND CANNOT CREATE DRAFT. The chimney provides two vital functions for proper stove operation. First, it is the
passage to exhaust smoke and hot gases created in the combustion process. Secondly, it supplies the draft (or pressure)
to bring oxygen to the fire to sustain combustion. Draft is the natural movement of air or gases through a chimney. Chim-
ney draft comes from the natural tendency for hot (less dense) air to rise. As the hot air rises within the chimney it creates
a lower pressure at the bottom of the chimney to which the stove is connected. The higher pressure air outside the stove
then rushes into the stove where the lower air pressure level exists, thus bringing oxygen to the fire. This constant flow of
air is referred to as the draft. Many factors or combination of factors can act together to build or impede the draft. Without
the correct amount of draft, the stove will not operate properly. If there is excessive draft, an unsafe condition will arise
with too much air being drawn into the stove and creating an excessively hot fire. This could cause over firing which runs
the risk of igniting structural elements around the stove and chimney. The most common experience is that of insufficient
draft. Under insufficient draft conditions, the fire will be starved for oxygen, improper or incomplete combustion occurs
resulting in smoke spillage into the area around the stove. A fire that is starved for oxygen will not burn well. Such a fire
will produce excessive smoke that will cool and condense in the chimney creating creosote. Excessive amounts of creo-
sote buildup can ignite causing a chimney fire with the possibility of structural elements igniting as well. Correct any draft
related issues before using the stove. The following are some possible causes of insufficient draft. Please note that one or
more factors may play a role in a draft issue and certain factors may change over time as conditions vary.
1. Atmospheric Pressure and Air Supply
Atmospheric pressure that affects the draft may occur from outside the structure, inside the structure, or both. High
pressure weather (clear and cold) usually produces a better chimney draft than low pressure (overcast and damp)
conditions. Negative pressure can be created inside a home by appliances that expel air from within such as bath-
room vents, range hoods, clothes dryers, and forced air furnaces. Do not allow such appliances to overcome the
natural draft. Note that newer homes tend to be built more tightly allowing less make up air to seep freely in. Negative
pressure may be overcome by opening a nearby door or window. In extreme conditions of negative draft, the airflow in
the chimney will reverse direction. This is known as “down drafting.”
2. Environmental Factors
Wind or air deflecting off external objects such as the roof, neighboring structures, trees, or hills. These can cause a
pressure change in the air surrounding the chimney.
3. Chimney Temperature
The temperature of the chimney is an important factor in how well it drafts. Warm chimneys draft better than cold
chimneys. This is based upon the principle that hot air rises while cold air sinks. Hot gases going up a cold chimney
will cool rapidly. Warm the chimney by allowing a hot fire to burn for the first fifteen to thirty minutes after starting
the fire. Be careful not to over fire the stove. If any part of the stove or chimney starts to glow, you are over firing the
stove. Masonry chimneys will take longer to warm than manufactured chimneys on account of their greater structural
mass. Chimneys that have a flue diameter larger than the stove outlet take more heat to warm, thus resulting in a
faster cooling of the hot gases needed to build or maintain draft.
4. Chimney Installation and Maintenance
Confirm that all four minimum chimney height requirements listed in the Chimney Connections section of the manual
have been met. The physics that link chimney height with draft creation are vital to the proper operation of the stove.
Failure to meet each of these minimum requirements will have an adverse affect on draft. Avoid long horizontal runs
or multiple elbows. Use stove cement to seal joints in the connector pipe section. Regularly clean the chimney, con-
nector pipe, rain cap, and spark arrestor screen. Creosote build up can reduce the chimney draw and possibly create
a chimney fire.
5. Temporarily out of Operation
After the fire has burned out, open the air control to its fully open position. This will allow warm room air to enter the
chimney and keep it as warm as possible until the stove is used again.
For assistance involving chimney draft issues, contact a knowledgeable licensed heating and cooling contractor in your
area. For questions regarding manufactured chimney, contact the manufacturer of the chimney.

SERVICE HINTS
NOTE: A DRAFT READING OF 0.05 TO 0.06 W.C. (WATER COLUMN)
IS REQUIRED FOR PROPER BURNING OF THIS STOVE.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OPERATE WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS.
WARNING:
REPLACE GLASS ONLY WITH 5MM HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC GLASS OF THE PROPER SIZE.
DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS SUCH AS TEMPERED GLASS OR DOUBLE THICKNESS
WINDOW GLASS! CONTACT THE STOVE MANUFACTURER FOR REPLACEMENT GLASS.
GLASS CARE
Periodic cleaning of glass will be necessary to prevent accumulations of ash. Acidic ash buildup can eventually etch and
weaken glass. Creosote accumulations should burn off during hot fires. The following usage and safety tips should be
observed:
1. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks and breaks. If you detect a crack or break, extinguish the fire immediately and
contact the manufacturer for a replacement before re-firing the stove.
2. Do not slam the door or otherwise impact the glass. When closing doors, make sure that logs or other objects do not
protrude to impact the glass.
3. Do not build fires against (or that might fall against) the glass.
4. Do not clean the glass with materials that may scratch (or otherwise damage) the glass. Scratches on the glass can
develop into cracks or breaks during operation.
5. Never attempt to clean the glass while the unit is hot; allow to dry thoroughly before reuse. If deposits are not very
heavy, normal glass cleaners are adequate using a soft, non-abrasive cleaning pad.
6. Never put substances which can ignite explosively in the unit. Even small explosions in confined areas can blow out
the glass.
GLASS REPLACEMENT
Gasket and glass cleaning products are available at local retail home centers. Manufacturers of cleaning products include,
A.W. Perkins Co. (www.Awperkins. Com) or rutland products (www.Rutland.Com). After extensive use, the gasket material
which provides glass and door seal may lose it’s resiliency and will need to be replaced. Inspect glass and door gaskets
periodically to ensure proper seal; if gaskets become frayed or worn, replace immediately. This unit’s door uses a 1 1/8”
diameter rope gasket.
GLASS REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Ensure appliance is not in operation and is thoroughly cooled.
2. Remove screw and glass clips. (See parts list and diagram.)
3. Remove glass from door frame.
4. If glass is broken, carefully remove and discard each broken piece to avoid cuts. Discard window gasket. Replace
window and gasket with original factory replacement parts.
5. Replace new gasket starting at the bottom of glass working along edges, being sure to center gasket channel on
glass.
6. Trim to length and butt ends together.
7. Perform replacement procedure in reverse order after replacing glass and gasket.
8. When replacing glass into door, be sure not to overtighten screws and clips.
BLOWER MAINTENANCE
The blower is maintenance free other than periodic cleaning. Lightly vacuum motor and air inlet to keep free of dust and
dirt.
