YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY,
WITHOUT DEVIATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE,

RESULT. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLA-
TION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.

1. If utilizing an older chimney, it must be inspected
for adequate serviceability. Refer to the heading
Chimney Inspection on page 11 of this manual.
2. The minimum clearances must be maintained for all
combustible surfaces. The following materials
should be kept a minimum of 36 inches (914 mm)
from the heater; furniture, carpet, drapes, clothing,
wood, papers, etc. Do not store firewood within this
clearance space. Failure to maintain clearances to
all combustibles may result in a house fire.
3. This appliance requires floor protection as out-
lined in this manual (see Floor Protection on
pages 5, 6 and 7).
4. WARNING: improper installation, adjustment, al-
teration, service or maintenance can cause injury
or property damage. This appliance must be
properly installed or the listing will be void. Instal-
lations other than those specifically covered
herein have not been confirmed by test and are
not covered by the listing.
5. Minimum ceiling height must be 5 feet (measured
from base of appliance to ceiling).
6. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE CONNECTED TO ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
7. Do not connect this appliance to air ducts or any
air distribution system.
8. PREVENT CREOSOTE FIRE: Inspect and clean
chimney connector and chimney daily for creo-
sote build-up until experience shows how often
you need to clean to be safe. Under certain condi-
tions of use, creosote buildup may occur rapidly.
Be aware that the hotter the fire the less creosote
is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be neces-
sary in mild weather even though monthly clean-
ing may be enough in the coldest months. Using
green or inadequately seasoned wood can greatly
increase creosote buildup. Use dry wood to mini-
mize creosote buildup.
9. USE SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY: This appliance is ap-
proved for burning dry seasoned natural wood only.
CAUTION: BURN UNTREATED WOOD ONLY. DO
NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS
SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
10. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids
to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep
all such liquids well away from the heater while it
is in use.
11. DO NOT OVERFIRE: If heater or chimney connec-
tor glows, you are overfiring. Overfiring this ap-
pliance could cause a house fire. Overfiring is a
condition where the appliance is operated at tem-
peratures above its design capabilities. Overfiring
can be caused by improper installation, improper
operation, lack of maintenance or improper fuel
usage. Do not operate the stove with the doors
open or ajar, as this will produce extreme tem-
peratures within the stove.
Damage caused from
overfiring is NOT covered under the manufactur-
ers limited warranty (see Care and Operation,
pages 15 to 20).
12. NEVER LEAVE AN UNATTENDED STOVE BURN-
ING ON HIGH. Operation of the stove with the
primary air draft control at its highest burn rate
setting for extended periods can cause danger-
ous overfiring conditions. The primary air draft
control should only be positioned at the highest
setting during start-up procedures (see How to
Start and Maintain a Fire on page 16) and for short
durations. When leaving the stove unattended en-
sure that the primary air draft control is set to the
low or medium low range.
13. It is imperative that the control compartments and
circulating air passageways of the appliance be
kept clean.
14. Use a metal container with a tight fitting lid to dis-
pose of ashes.
15. IN THE EVENT OF A COMPONENT FAILURE, USE
ONLY COMPONENTS PROVIDED BY THE MANU-
FACTURER AS REPLACEMENT PARTS.
16. Burning any kind of fuel uses oxygen from the
dwelling. Be sure that you allow an adequate
source of fresh air into the room where the stove
is operating (see Ventilation Requirements on
page 12).
17. CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. An appli-
ance hot enough to warm your home can severely
burn anyone touching it. Keep children, clothing
and furniture away. Contact may cause skin
burns. Do not let children touch the appliance.
Train them to stay a safe distance from the unit.
The use of a fireguard is recommended.
18. Do not operate this appliance without the firebox
baffle brick properly installed.
19. Always build wood fires directly on the firebox
grate. Do not use andirons or any other method
to elevate the fire.
20. Do not install these appliances into a Manufac-
tured (Mobile) Home.
21. See the listing label located on the back of stove
(or see Safety/Listing Labels on pages 35 & 36).
22. These appliances are designed as supplemental
heaters. Therefore, it is advisable to have an al-
ternate heat source when installed in a dwelling.
23. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Ensure that this
manual remains with the appliance and passed to
the user after installation.
