2. Verify that the stove is properly installed before
firing the stove for the first time. After reading
these instructions, if you have any doubt about
your ability to complete your installation prop-
erly, you must obtain the services of a profes-
sional licensed installer familiar with all aspects
of safe and correct installation. DO NOT use
temporary or makeshift compromises during in-
stallation.
3. DO NOT store wood, flammable liquids or other
combustible materials too close to the unit. Refer
to certification label on back of unit and minimum
clearances under Locating Stove in the following
instructions.
4. Do not install this stove in a mobile

5. If any parts are missing or defective, please notify
the dealer or manufacturer immediately. DO NOT
OPERATE A STOVE THAT IS MISSING ANY
PARTS!.
6. Do not tamper with combustion air control beyond
normal adjustment capacities.
7. Always connect this stove to a chimney and vent to
the outside. Never vent to another room or inside
a building. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLI-
ANCE.
8. DO NOT CONNECT a wood burning stove to an
aluminum Type B gas vent. This is not safe. Use
approved masonry or a UL 103 HT Listed Residen-
tial Type and Building Heating Appliance Chimney.
Use a 6” diameter chimney, that is high enough
to give a good draft. (See specifics in Chimney
Connections instructions).
9. 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.
10. Creosote or soot may build up in the chimney con-
nector and chimney and cause a house/building
fire. Inspect the chimney connector and chimney
twice monthly during the heating season and clean
if necessary. (See Service Hints section).
11. In the event of a chimney fire, turn the air control
to closed position, 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.
12. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this
stove who is unfamiliar with the correct operation
of the stove.
13. D o not op er at e st ove wh i l e u n d e r t h e
influence of drugs or alcohol.
14. Dispose of ashes in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. Keep the closed container on a noncom-
bustible floor 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.
15. The special paint used on your stove may give
off smoke and/or odor during the first fires.
This may occur during the first 12 to 15 fires
until the paint has cured. After the paint has
cured this will end and not reoccur. Persons

domestic pets (such as birds) should take
prudent precautions. Open windows and doors as
needed to clear smoke and odor. If the stove is over
fired, paint discoloration will occur.
16. 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. Cure the paint according to in-
structions. Clean 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.
17. The walls of the firebox may become slightly dis-
torted after a period of use. A slight distortion will
not affect the operation of the stove.
18. While stove is in operation, all persons,

LOCATING STOVE
Connector pipe is used to make the connection
from the final positioning of your stove to an approved
chimney. Connector pipe is NOT included as part of the
stove. Connector pipe must be 6” diameter minimum of
24 MSG (minimum standard gauge) black or 26 MSG
blue steel stove pipe. Connector pipe is not rated to
provide close contact to combustible materials and
must have proper clearance from combustible materials
as shown in the clearance diagrams on the previous
pages. Connector pipe should never be used in place
of a chimney. If proper clearances are not observed a
house fire could result.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. The tapered end of the connector stovepipe fits into
the stove flue collar. Secure with three sheet metal
screws. Notice: For side or rear venting, you must
have a minimum 24” vertical rise from top of stove
to horizontal pipe sections (see fig. 7).
2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards
towards the chimney at least 1/4” per foot of hori-
zontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue (fig.
9).
5. Secure collar/pipe/elbow sections with three (3)
sheet metal screws at each joint to make the piping
rigid.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2) 90
degree bends be used in the stovepipe installa-
tion. The use of more than two 90 degree bends
may decrease the amount of draw and possibly
cause smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows. These provide
a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an at-
tic or roof space, closet, or any concealed space,
or floor, ceiling, wall or combustible construction.
(See Chimney Connector Systems & Clearances,
page 22). A UL 103 HT Listed chimney must be
used from the first penetration of ceiling or wall to
the chimney cap.

CHIMNEY SIZING
stove. If the chimney diameter is too large, it will be dif-
ficult 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.
Today’s solid fuel heating appliances are much
more efficient than those made in the past. Your heat-
ing 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 heat-
ing 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 tradi-
tional type stoves. With lower exhaust temperatures, it
is important that the chimney is correctly sized to the
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS
The stove must be connected to either a lined
masonry or manufactured metal chimney built and test-
ed to the specifications listed on the previous pages.
Chimneys perform two functions:
1). As a means of exhausting smoke and flue gases
which are the result of fuel combustion.
2). The chimney (only) provides “draft” which allows
oxygen to be continuously introduced into the ap-
pliance, 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
burning appliances and the possible development
of hazardous conditions, fire or death.
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 figures 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
puffing, 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.

listed above. Be aware that not all manufactured chim-
ney is of the UL 103 HT type.
NOTE: It is recommended that you contact a
licensed heating and cooling contractor (consult your
local yellow pages) for chimney installation.
Manufactured chimney with the proper required UL
listing is available from most home centers, hardware
stores, and HVAC supply stores.

VENTING TO EXISTING FIREPLACE
In some instances, people desire to convert an
existing fireplace for stove use. Usually, safe connec-
tion to an existing masonry chimney requires more
work than using a prefabricated chimney. The existing
fireplace must be closed and sealed at the damper with
high-temperature caulk, ceramic wool, or furnace ce-
ment.Prior to installation, clean and inspect the existing
flue and smoke shelf. Installation should be designed
so the system can be dismantled for periodic cleaning
and inspection. Before conversion, make sure the

ney incorporates a flue liner and make sure it is in
good condition. (A flue liner consists of clay tile that
protects the brickwork of a chimney. If a chimney does
not have a liner, or it is damaged, have it relined by a
professional. Do Not use a chimney that is unlined
or damaged!) If you have any question regarding the
lation must conform to local building and fire codes and
latest edition of NFPA 211.
If there is a clean out opening in the base of the
chimney, close it tightly.
Chimney Minimum Height Requirements:
(1) Overall Height – 15 ft. min.
(2) Height above roof – 3 ft
(3) Height above slope – 2 ft. min. within 10 ft.
(4) Minimum rise before horiz. section – 24 in.
NOTICE: If minimum chimney requirements are
not met, your stove will not operate properly.

CAUTION: NOT ALL FIREPLACES ARE SUIT-
ABLE FOR CONVERSION TO A WOOD STOVE.
CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED EXPERT.
Many prefabricated fireplaces are of the “zero-
clearance fireplace” category. These consist of multi
layered metal construction. They are designed with
enough insulation and/or air cooling on the base, back
and sides so they can be safely installed in direct con-
tact with combustible floors and walls. Although many
prefabricated fireplaces carry endorsements from na-
tionally recognized organizations for use as fireplaces,
they have not been tested for connection to wood stove
heaters. Connecting a stove to such a device will void
the manufacturer’s warranty.
Steel-lined fireplaces are constructed with
1/4” firebox liner, an air chamber in connection with 8”
of masonry. These can be safely used with wood burn-
ing stoves. They contain all the essential components
of a fireplace, firebox, damper, throat, smoke shelf,
and smoke chamber. Many look identical to masonry
fireplaces and should be checked carefully before con-
necting a stove to them.
Venting a stove directly into a fireplace does not
meet code and should not be attempted. (This consti-
tutes connection to another appliance - the fireplace.)
Combustion products will be deposited and build up in
the firebox or fireplace. The stove warranty will be void
with such an installation. Do not create a hazard in your
home by connecting in this manner.
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPTTO ROUTETHE CHIM-
NEY CONNECTOR PIPETHROUGHTHETHROAT OF
THE FIREPLACE. Directly connecting the stovepipe
into the existing masonry chimney (figure 14 “Type A”
fireplace conversion) of the fireplace is the ONLY ap-
proved method of installation.This is a complicated and
involved process and to ensure safety should only by
done by a qualified installer.
1. An entry hole must be cut through the masonry and
tile liner with minimal damage to the liner. At least 8”
of liner must remain below the entry position.When
locating the stove and stovepipe, all minimum clear-
ances must be observed from combustible surfaces
including mantels, combustible trim work, ceilings,
and walls. Positioning the center of the stove pipe
entry into the chimney 24” below the ceiling should
insure proper clearance for a 6” stovepipe. Fig. 14 - Fireplace Conversion
2. Install a metal or fire clay (5/8” minimum thickness)
thimble. Make sure the thimble is flush with the inner
surface of the chimney liner and does not protrude
into the flue (see figure 10 on page 9).
3. Secure the thimble with refractory mortar. The
thimble should be surrounded by 8” of solid unit
masonry brickwork or 24” of stone.
4. Install the stovepipe into the thimble as far as pos-
sible without extending past the flue lining (see
figures 9 & 10 on pages 8 & 9).
5. A small airspace (about 1/2”) should remain
between the stovepipe and thimble to allow for

Page 12 | DURANGO™ Vogelzang International Corp. TR008 | 20110503.1
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS continued …
expansion of the pipe. Seal this airspace with high-
temperature caulking or ceramic wool.
6. Secure and seal the damper in the closed posi-
tion using high-temp caulking, ceramic wool, or
furnace cement. Also check to see if the chimney
has a clean out. If it does, make sure it is closed
and sealed as well. A leaky clean out will greatly
reduce draft efficiency.
If you have any questions regarding venting your
stove, contact the manufacturer or contact the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and request a copy
of the latest editions of NFPA Standard 211 and NFPA
Standard 908. Their address is:

designed to ignite the combustion gases (smoke) given
off by the burning wood and increases the efficiency of
the stove and reduces 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 perfor-
mance. 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.
STARTING A FIRE
1. Set air inlet control to fully open position.
2. Open the feed door and place several wads of
crushed paper in the firebox.
3. Cover the paper with a generous amount of kin-
dling in a teepee fashion and a few small pieces of
wood.
4. Ignite the paper and leave the door open slightly.
DO NOT LEAVE STOVE UNATTENDED WITH
DOOR OPEN!
5. 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 perfor-
mance.
6. 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 Pri-
mary 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.
7. 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).
8. 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.
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 re-
heat 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
continued on next page

Page 14 | DURANGO™ Vogelzang International Corp. TR008 | 20110503.1
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 spill-
age.
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 par t of the stove exterior or chimney
connections glow).
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 CRE-
OSOTE OR OVER FIRING MAY CAUSE A

chimney which may ignite surrounding materi-
als resulting in a building fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be
inspected (at least) twice a month during the heating
season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.
If it has, it should be removed. Failure to remove creo-
sote 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 clos-
ing the inlet air control and immediately call the fire
department.
CAUTION: A CHIMNEY FIRE MAY CAUSE IGNI-
TION 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 IN-
SPECTED BY A QUALIFIED EXPERT BEFORE
USING AGAIN.
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.
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
SERVICE HINTS

TR008 | 20110503.1 www.vogelzang.com DURANGO™ | Page 15
SERVICE HINTS continued...
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 care-
ful not to over fire the unit. Following this process
will help to warm the chimney and reduce the
amount of creosote forming condensation within
the chimney.
8. Establish a routine for the handling of fuel, firing,
and operating the stove. Check daily for creosote
build up until experience 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.
WARNING: IN CASE OF CHIMNEY FIRE
(1) CLOSE AIR INLET CONTROL (2) GET OUT
OF THE HOUSE (3) CALL THE FIRE DEPART-
MENT.
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 pro-
cess. 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.
Chimney 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 continued on next page
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 creosote 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 oc-
cur 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 appli-
ances that expel air from within such as bathroom
vents, range hoods, clothes dryers, and forced air
furnaces. Do not allow such appliances to over-
come 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 sur-
rounding 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

Page 16 | DURANGO™ Vogelzang International Corp. TR008 | 20110503.1
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, connector pipe, rain cap, and spark ar-
restor 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, con-
tact a knowledgeable licensed heating and cooling
contractor in your area. For questions regarding
manufactured chimney, contact the manufacturer
of the chimney.
NOTE: A DRAFT READING OF 0.05TO 0.06 W.C.
(WATER COLUMN) IS REQUIRED FOR PROPER
BURNING OF THIS STOVE.
GLASS CARE
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.
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.
SERVICE HINTS continued...
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 dur-
ing operation.
5. Never attempt to clean the glass while the unit is
hot. If deposits are not very heavy, normal glass
cleaners are adequate using a soft, non-abrasive
cleaning pad. Heavier deposits may be removed
with oven cleaners.
6. Never put substances which can ignite explosively
in the unit. Even small explosions in confined areas
can blow out the glass.
