Do Not Burn Wet Coal!
Super-Magnum Coal Stoker Stove
3-90-02702R4_08/12
NEVER CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Installation and repair of this stove should
be done by a qualied service person. We
recommend that the stove be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualied
service person. Periodic cleaning is required
throughout the heating season and at the end
of each winter for the stove to work efciently.
See cleaning instructions on page 24.
SPECIAL NOTE:
DUE TO ASH BUILDUP, IT IS STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED TO HAVE YOUR STOVE
PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND SERVICED
ANNUALLY. THIS INCLUDES ALL PARTS OF
THE STOVE, AND THE VENTING SYSTEM.
Always empty the hopper when not burning for
more than a week. When left standing for long
periods with wet coal, the feed system will rust
and corrode, causing it to seize. If the stoker
is then turned "on", damage to the pusher
assembly and feed motor could result. This will
be considered neglect and will void the warranty
on those parts. Always check to see that moving
parts are free before using, if the unit has not
been burned for a period of time. This can best
be determined by running a "Test" cycle and
watching the cam block and pusher arm inside
the right rear door.
Freshly delivered coal is watered down to eliminate
dust when loading and unloading. Wet rice coal does
not ow as well as dry coal. We do not recommend
burning wet coal; however, we realize if it's the only
coal you have, it is better to burn it than to be cold. If
you must burn wet coal, the feed rate will likely need
increased. Doing this once or twice a year will not
damage your stove as long as it is hot and burning.
Damage is caused when the hopper is left with wet
coal in it while the stove is cold. This will cause rust
and corrosion and it is totally the operator’s fault.
After the coal dries for three or four days, depending
on conditions, it will ow and feed properly.
Wet Coal
NEVER SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM WITH ANY COAL BURNING STOVE.
Carbon monoxide, referred to as CO, is a colorless, odorless
gas that is produced during combustion of coal and other
fuels. CO fumes are toxic and can be fatal.
The Super-Magnum is a natural draft system which relies
on a properly designed chimney to remove CO and other
combustion by-products from the stove.
Even though this stove is designed to be as safe as possible,
it is important that you install a CO detector. This is true
for oil, gas, or wood burning products as well.
CO is not specically heavier or lighter than air. Therefore,
it is best to install the detector at table top level rather than
on the ceiling like a smoke detector.
CO detectors are very sensitive and may sound an alarm
for fumes other than CO or CO from sources other than
the stove such as car or lawn mower exhaust.
If the alarm sounds
1. Increase ventilation by opening windows or doors.
2. Make sure the stove doors and hopper lid are closed
and latched.
3. Check stove for electrical power and normal operation.
4. Check chimney for possible blockage or down-draft.
5. Check for false alarm.
Prevent Rust & Corrosion:
Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start
or “freshen up” a re in this heater. Keep all
such liquids well away from the heater while it
is in use.
