BAROMETRIC DRAFT REGULATOR
Model DR6
SAFETY NOTICE
In the unlikely event that your 2941 "overfires" (a condition evidenced by elbows,
stovepipes, and connectors glowing red in appearance or otherwise discoloring),
then your installation is subject to excessive draft created by either a chimney too tall
or too great in diameter in conjunction with its height, or some other factor of an
indeterminate cause. In this event, you should install a barometric draft regulator.
Such installation will preclude any overfiring and/or any hazardous consequences
of potential overfiring.
Barometric draft regulators are generally available where you purchased your stove
or may be ordered directly from United States Stove Company at a nominal charge.

NOTE:
DURING OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE FEED AND ASH DOORS
OF THIS HEATER, IT MAY SEEM THAT THE FIT OF THE DOOR IS
"TOO TIGHT". AS THE HEATER IS FIRED, THE GASKETING
"SETTLES" OR "SEATS" ITSELF IN THE DOOR. THE TIGHT FIT AT
THE FACTORY AND BEFORE THE HEATER'S INITIAL FIRING IS TO
INSURE A GOOD SEAL AFTER THE GASKETING "SETTLES".
NOTE:
FOR YOUR SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND INSTALLING SMOKE
DETECTORS IN YOUR HOME IF NOT ALREADY INSTALLED.
or masonry) must be tall enough to provide
sufficient draft and safe exit of smoke and
combustion products. Please refer to Page

4. Be sure that your Chimney is safely con
structed and in good repair. Have the chim
ney inspected by the Fire Department or a
qualified inspector (such as a Chimney
sweep). Your insurance company may be
able to recommend a qualified inspector.
5. Inspect chimney connector and chimney
twice monthly during the heating season for
any deposit of creosote or soot which must
be removed.
6. Provide air for combustion from outside the
house into the room where the heater is
located. If the intake is not in the same room,
air must have free access to the room.
7. CAST IRON PARTS MUST BE "SEA
SONED" TO AVOID CRACKING. BUILD
ONLY SMALL FIRES ON FIRST USE.
8. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to
use this heater who is unfamiliar with the
correct operation of the heater. Do not allow
children to use or in any way operate this
heater.
9. For further information on using your heater
safely, obtain a copy of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) publication
"Using Coal and Wood Stoves Safely" NFPA
No. HS-10-1978. The address of the NFPA
is Battery March Park, Quincy, MA. 02269.

Keep the ash pit section free of excess
ashes. Do not allow ashes to stack higher
than the sides of the ash pan.*
11.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES- Ashes should be
placed in a metal container with a tight fitting
lid. Keep the closed container on a non-
combustible floor or on the ground, well
away from all combustible materials. Keep
the ashes in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled. The ashes
may be buried in the ground or used as
fertilizer.
12.CAUTION: The special paints used on your
heater may give off some smoke while they
are curing during first few fires. Build small
fires at first. The metal used in construction
of the heater has a light coating of oil. This
could give off smoke and/or odors when
heater is used for the first couple of times.
This should disappear after a short period.
Once this burn-off has occurred, it should
not reoccur.
13.CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS- This
heater has a painted outside jacket, which is
durable but will not stand rough handling or
abuse. When installing your heater, use
care in handling. Clean with soap and warm
water when heater is not hot. DO NOT use
any harsh chemicals (acids or caustics) or
scouring powder, as these wear and dull the
finish.
14.KEEP THE FEED DOOR, ASH DOOR AND
CABINET DOOR CLOSED AT ALL TIMES
EXCEPT WHILE TENDING THE HEATER.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THE HEATER. THIS
WILL HAPPEN IF THE FEED DOOR, OR
PARTICULARLY THE ASH DOOR, IS LEFT
OPEN DURING OPERATION. UNDER EX
TREME CONDITIONS THIS CAN PRO
DUCE DANGEROUS RESULTS. AT A
MINIMUM, IT WILL ALLOW THE PAINT TO
DISCOLOR.
* Never allow ashes to contact the grate(s).
CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE
HEATER UNTIL IT HAS COOLED.
ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN
REFUELING THIS UNIT OR WORKING
WITH METAL CABINET PARTS.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE WALLS AND CEILINGS
Minimum clearances to unprotected combustible walls and ceilings as noted by figures 2 through
4 must be maintained. Drapes, curtains, furniture and other combustible materials should be kept
much further away from the heater to avoid fire. If you choose to, you may install the heater and
chimney connector closer to combustible surfaces than indicated by Figures 2 through 4 IF a
clearance reduction system is also installed to protect combustible ceilings and walls near the
heater and chimney connector. However, there are limits to how close the heater and chimney
connector can be installed to combustible surfaces protected by a clearance reduction system.
A correctly installed clearance reduction system protects the combustible surfaces well beyond
the sides and above the top of the heater and beyond the sides and top of the chimney connector
pipe.
Two common types of clearance reduction systems use sheet metal with a minimum thickness
of 28 gauge (galvanized steel, aluminum, copper) or a 3-1/2 inch (4 inch nominal) thick masonry
wall. Either of these materials must be spaced out 1 inch from the combustible surfaces. With
sheet metal, non-combustible spacers are used to maintain the 1 inch air space. With a masonry
wall, metal wall ties and furring strips, if needed are used to anchor the brick to the wall. To avoid
excessive heat transmission, the spacers or wall ties should not be placed directly behind the
