Introducing Your Equinox Wood Stove
Thank you for purchasing an Equinox woodstove from
Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products. This stove
will provide you years of comfortable heat. This stove also
provides the benefits of advanced technology in wood
burning without the cost and maintenance requirements of
a catalytic device. The Equinox blends modern technology
with classic style and the unique beauty and qualities of
cast iron and soapstone. We trust that you will appreciate
the quality of this handcrafted product.
Your Equinox woodstove is designed to burn efficiently,
and produce a large amount of heat. However, you should
not consider your Equinox the only heat source for your
home. The Equinox’s large size and the very large glass
window allow you to enjoy the fire from a variety of
locations in the room.
Please read this manual in its entirety. Its purpose is to
familiarize you with your stove's safe installation, proper
break-in, operation and maintenance. It contains extremely
important information so keep it handy and refer to it often.
A qualified heating technician may need this owner’s
manual as a reference when installing this stove in your
home. There are national, state, and local building codes
that direct the technician on how to install your stove.
These codes stipulate the dimension of stovepipe and
clearances to walls, ceilings, hearth, and other combustible
surfaces. The codes exist to reduce the risk of fire. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in fire, property
damage, bodily injury, and even death.
Install the stove in a safe, open area, away from traffic
flow, doors, and hallways. Also, consider the weight of the
Equinox (689 lbs or 313 kg) when selecting an install
location. Ensure the structural integrity of the floor system
is sufficient to support the added load. If possible, try to
install the stove near an existing chimney and chimney
connector. It is extremely important to install this stove
with the proper clearance from combustible surfaces. You
can purchase specific connector pipe and special wall
coverings as specified by this manual and the NFPA 211
code to protect combustible surfaces. Keep furniture,
drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and other combustibles at
least 36 inches (92 cm) away from the stove. Never install
this, or any stove, in a location where gasoline, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid or other flammable liquids are in use
or stored.
Install the stove in your living area to allow heat to radiate
naturally to distant rooms. Do not install your stove in a
poorly insulated area. This is inefficient and would likely
result in higher fuel usage and possibly unsafe burning
conditions.
SAFETY NOTICE:
AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED STOVE CAN
RESULT IN A HOUSE FIRE. FOR YOUR
SAFETY, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT
LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS
ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND
INSTALLATION INSPECTION IN YOUR
AREA.
The safety of your stove will depend on many factors,
some of which include: distance to combustible objects,
correct venting, and adequate chimney maintenance.
Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact
your dealer for additional information.
Contact your dealer for any necessary warranty service.
