Safety Notice:
If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation
directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.
Read and follow all of the warnings on pages 4 and 5 of this manual.
Before Your First Fire
Verify the Installation
Before starting the stove, verify that the stove is properly installed and all of the requirements in this
manual have been followed.
Keep all flammable materials 36" away from the front of the stove (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc.).
Curing the Paint
This heater uses a heat-activated paint that will emit some fumes
while starting the first fire. Open doors and windows to the room
to vent these fumes. This typically lasts two to four hours. You
may also notice oil burning off of the interior of the heater. This
rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate.
Door Gasket - The door gasket might adhere to the paint on
the front of the heater. Leave the door slightly ajar for the first fire
and be careful when opening the door after the first fire.
2 to 4 hours
Over-Firing the Stove
This stove was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in vent
configuration, fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If the
stove top or other area starts to glow red, you are over-firing the stove. Shut the air control down to
low and allow the stove to cool before proceeding.
Opening the Door
Turn the handle clockwise to un-latch. Swing the door open.
The door becomes hot during use. Use a glove to open the door if the handle is hot.
To prevent smoke from entering the room, open the door a small amount and let air enter the firebox.
This stabilizes the air flow before opening the door completely.
