IT IS YOUR OR THE INSTALLER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO READ ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AND FOLLOW THE PRESCRIBED DIRECTIONS�
When properly maintained and operated your stove should give you many years of service. How-
ever there are important safety aspects of these products that you need to be aware of when oper-
ating a wood stove.
1. ONLY USE SOLID WOOD FUEL. NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL,
KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, NAPHTHA, ENGINE OIL, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS
TO START OR ‘FRESHEN UP’ A FIRE IN THIS STOVE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL
AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHILE IT IS IN USE. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE IN THE STOVE.
2. The burning of wood gives off gases which can be extremely dangerous. The stove is designed
that under normal operating circumstances these gases pass up the ue chimney system and
cannot escape into your home, however it is important that your ue system is properly installed
and that you check all joints regularly to ensure that there are no cracks or gaps, check the door
sealing rope and replace when damaged. We recommend a smoke alarm be tted in rooms
where stoves are installed. Do not use stove in a room where negative pressure conditions may
occur, such as through the use of extraction fans unless an adequate air supply into the room is
ensured, as this may draw air through the stove and cause products of combustion to escape into
the room.
3. Creosote and soot may accumulate in your ue pipe and chimney. This may ignite, causing a
chimney re. If you suspect a chimney re evacuate people from the building, close down the
air controls on the stove and call the Fire Department. To prevent the accumulation of soot or
creosote, check ue and chimney regularly and clean as necessary. Good burning, hot stoves
will generally cause a lot less build-up than slow burning stoves. Likewise dry wood will cause
less build-up than wet wood. We recommend a re extinguisher be available where stoves are
in operation. In the event of a chimney re do not re-light the stove until it and the ue chimney
system have been thoroughly checked and repaired as necessary.
4. Stoves get extremely hot and should not be touched when lit. When young children are in the
area, we recommend the use of a suitable re guard around the stove. Always wear protective
gloves when reloading stove.
5. Never over-re your stove. If external parts of your stove are glowing red then the stove is over-
ring and your draft settings should be reduced. Never interfere with the draft mechanisms or
adjust your air settings outside those limits set when the stove is manufactured. Never use a fan
to supply air to the stove or to extract air from it.
6. All users of the stove should be aware of the contents of this manual. Please leave this manual
where it is accessible to stove users and do not allow anyone to use the stove that is unfamiliar
with its correct operation.
7. Never use the stove if any parts are missing or damaged, only use genuine parts as replace-
ments. Never modify your stove.
8. DO NOT INSTALL IN A MOBILE HOME.
We hope you have many years of warmth and comfort from your stove
but please do so safely�
