Tested and Listed Wall Protector
Clearances to combustibles may be reduced if a tested and listed wall protector is installed over a combustible
surface when the following conditions exist:
1. A dead air space of 1" separates the listed and tested wall protector from the combustible surface.
2. The tested and listed wall protector extends form floor to ceiling with a 1" clearance for air circulation at both
the floor and ceiling.
3. The 1" spacers (preferably ceramic rather than metal) must be located at the corners rather than behind the
heater or the chimney connector.
Unlisted and Untested Wall Protector
Wall protectors may be constructed of masonry, 24 gauge or thicker sheet metal, or non-combustible 1/2" thick
insulation board. Conditions 2 and 3 above must be observed but the air space in condition 1 must be increased to
1 1/2".
FINAL CHECK
1. Recheck the specified clearances.
2. Remove all foreign material from the firebox area.
3. Open the primary air draft; shot-gun air draft, and damper bypass. Make sure ash drawer is sealed properly.
4. Plug the power cord into a 115V AC outlet. Set switch to “Manual” and rheostat to “High” position to ensure
motor operates properly.
5. Place 4 or 5 pieces of newspaper in the stove. Light paper and close the door. Ensure that the stove draws
properly through the primary drafts.
6. Check for smoke leaks around the door.
7. Open the door (slowly) and check for smoke escaping from the front of the stove. Smoking usually indicates
a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting
newspaper and holding it near the open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a
proper draft can usually be obtained.
NOTE: A poor drafting chimney can lead to poor heater performance. This is not a defect of the heater, but
with the chimney. Poor performance due to a poor drafting chimney is NOT a warranty problem.
If a thorough review of the Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the manual does not solve your problem,
contact your dealer for assistance. If the homeowner installed the unit himself, there generally is a charge for
dealer to service the stove and inspect the installation.
8. The unit is painted with a specially formulated high temperature paint that cures during the first two or three
firings. DO NOT BUILD A LARGE ROARING FIRE UNTIL THIS CURING IS COMPLETE OR THE
HEATER FINISH MAY BE DAMAGED. (Paint may blister or peel off. This is not covered by warranty.)
You may notice a slight smoking effect and an odor of burning paint when you build the first fires. This is
normal and is not a cause for alarm. In some cases these fumes will activate a smoke alarm. Opening a
window near the unit will allow these fumes to escape.
