Page 2: General Safety Precautions
Contact may cause skin burns. Do not allow children to play near the stove without close supervision. Do not touch the stove while it is burning. Use extreme caution while the unit is in use. Surface temperatures become dangerously hot and can cause serious burns. 9. Do not allow anyone to operate the stove who is not familiar with the operating instructions. 10. Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed stove design specifications can result in permanent damage to the stove. Never leave your stove unattended on high burn rates. This may cause overfiring. Overfiring the stove may cause a house fire. If the stove glows, you are overfiring. 11. Keep a water hose or hand-operated fire extinguisher close for safety. 12. Smoke Detectors - Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional false activation from the heat produced by the stove). If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with your local building department for require- ments in your area. -

Page 4: Testing Information
Testing Information This manual describes the installation and operation of the Striker™ S160 non-catalytic wood heaters. These heaters meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s emissions limits for wood heaters sold on or after July 1, 1990. This heater has been developed, tested and constructed in accordance with the require- ments of UL 1482, ULC S627 and HUD standards and is listed by OMNI Test Laboratories, Beaverton, OR. It has been approved for residential, mobile home and alcove installations. Draft Requirements Your wood stove is dependent upon a properly functioning chimney for optimum performance. It is a high efficiency appliance that loses much less heat up the chimney than older appliances and fireplaces. For this reason it is important to match the stove to the chimney. The chimney has two functions: 1. It draws combustion air into the appliance (without air, no fuel will burn) and 2. It exhausts combustion by-products. Your new Country™ Col- lection stove is what is known as a “natural draft” appliance. The appliance depends solely on the natural draft of the chimney system to draw combustion air into the unit. Draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up into the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance (overfiring). Slow or inadequate draft equals poor combustion and possible smoking problems. The following are some conditions that may contribute to poor chimney draft: 1. A chimney too large for your appliance. 2. A chimney with not enough height to produce adequate draft. -

WARNING: In the event that you remove the blower for any reason, make sure a cover plate (available from Lennox Hearth Products) is installed before using the heater. Excessive rear wall temperatures will result if the stove is burned without the cover plate. Note: The cover plate is not necessary if a blower has never been installed because a knock-out will be in place to act as the cover. -

Stove Installation 1. If not previously installed, install floor protection and move the heater into the desired location. 2. Position the stove on your floor protection in the exact location where it is to be located, making sure all minimum clearances are met. 3. If you are installing outside air on your stove, mark a 4” circle on the floor protection just below the oblong ring. When cut out, this hole will accommodate the flexible outside air tube. 4. If the stove is to be fastened to the floor, locate the hold down brackets inside the leg box and mark the floor protection below the holes in the brackets. 5. If you are installing outside air on your stove, remove the stove and cut the floor protection and the floor where the 4” air tube circle had been previously drawn.

Next, install baffle bricks #21-24 by sliding the back of each brick over the center tube and support until the front of the brick clears the front tube and support. Then lift the front of the brick above the front support and tube and slide it forward as far as it can go (very important), it will hit the front of the stainless support when it is fully forward. The rear of the bricks sit on top of bricks #19-20 (Figures 7 and 8). Figure 6 Stainless Steel Baffle Supports Figure 7 Ceramic Fiber Blanket NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE. 4. Carefully slip the ceramic blanket up over the front of the front stainless support and bricks #21-24. Grasp the edge of the blanket and slide it back until the front of the blanket is flush to the front of bricks #21-24 (Figure 7). Shake the blanket gently from side to side to get it to lay flat. Be sure the ceramic blanket is directly on top of the baffle bricks and that it does not hang out past the front...

WARNING: In the event that you remove the blower for any reason, make sure a cover plate (available from Lennox Hearth Products) is installed before using the heater. Excessive rear wall temperatures will result if the stove is burned without the cover plate. Note: The cover plate is not necessary if a blower has never been installed because a knock-out will be in place to act as the cover. -

Damage caused from over-firing is not covered under the manufacturers limited warranty. 5. For best results, use smaller pieces of wood to get the stove temperature very high before loading larger wood for sustained burns. If necessary, crack the door to allow ignition of the fuel charge. Now you can add larger pieces of wood and after several minutes of high burn, set the left control for the desired heat output. Check the exhaust in about 15 to 20 minutes. Large amounts of smoke indicate an improper burn setting (either too high or too low). Adjust and recheck in 5 to 10 minutes. 6. After your stove has been thoroughly preheated, your blower can be switched on. When refueling your stove, turn the blower off for the first 30 minutes. On low and medium-low burns run the blower on low. These burn rates would be achieved by operating the stove with the draft rod fully pushed in to up to 3/4” open (out). To do this, turn on the blower at the speed control and rotate the control all the way to the right. On medium-high and high burns you may run the blower on high. These burn rates would be achieved by opening the draft rod further than stated previously. To do this, turn on the blower with the speed control and do not rotate the switch after it clicks on. NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE. -
Page 15: Cleaning Glass
The air wash system will perform at its best at medium burn rates. Some stove models will self clean by burning very hot fires but be sure not to over-fire the stove. If it glows red it is over-fired. Over-firing a stove also causes the window to soot up. Extremely hot fires with fresh wood may cause the flow rate to exceed one foot per second, which is as fast as a flame can burn. This is why a candle goes out when you blow on it. Blow on it gently and it burns brightly. Blow on it hard and it goes out. This will cause excessive exhaust emissions and your window to soot up, as the stove is unable to burn the gases emitted from the wood. Try slowing the stove down a little by closing the damper somewhat as it warms up. Keeping freshly loaded wood away from the window will also help. Load fresh logs in the rear of the firebox. Build-up tends to occur first on the right side of the window. This is caused by the swirl- ing motion of the exhaust gases similar to water running down a drain. Keep fresh logs further back on the right side of the firebox to help prevent this problem. Understanding how your Country™ Collection stove works should help you keep your glass door very clean, but as stated: no glass door stays perfectly clean. We hope this information is helpful in... -
Page 16: Maximizing Your Stove's Overall Efficiency
Achieving Clean, Long Burns To achieve long burn times, after having thoroughly preheated the stove, let the stove top cool down to 75 to 400 degrees (on Elites, locate thermometer on the face of the insert just above the door). Now load the firebox and set the draft control. At this point, you may need to burn the stove with the draft open for a few minutes to ignite the wood. All Country Collection stoves are EPA... -

Determining the lowest setting for efficient low burns. This will require some experimentation on your part. Try closing the air control all the way with the stove temperature at 325 to 350 degrees. If the flames are completely extinguished, open the air control halfway and then slowly close it until there is only a small amount of flame. It is important to check the stove about 20 minutes after setting the draft control as it takes this long for the stove temperature to stabilize. There should still be some small flames on or above the wood load. Use 5 degrees as a starting point. You can try starting tem- peratures 25 degrees higher or lower to achieve desired burn... -
Page 18: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Problem Solution POOR DRAFT: Extend chimney in length or have the chimney realigned to the proper size flue. Oversized chimneys nor- mally have poor drafts. Remember, the stoves’ draft depend solely on the natural draft of the chimney (See drafting section on Page 4). If your stove is not drafting properly, your chimney is the problem. All stoves are thoroughly tested to ensure proper draft with the correct size chimney flue. EXCESSIVE DRAFT: With better chimneys being more common, excessive draft can be an issue. Alleviate excessive draft by slowing the burn rate of the stove once it has reached proper operating temperature (See Maximizing Your Stoves Overall Efficiency on Page 16). DIRTY GLASS: 1) Burn smaller, hotter fires and check to make sure you are not setting the draft down too far with the draft control. 2) Make sure your wood is well-seasoned and dry (not open to rain - see Creosote and Fuel sections on Page 3). 3) See Poor Draft section (above) and Cleaning Glass on Page 15 . SMOKES WHEN 1) If smoke is entering the room, check to make sure your baffle bricks are properly installed DOOR IS OPEN: and that the insulating blanket is pushed back flush with the front of the baffle brick. 2) Check the chimney for blockage due to creosote (see Chimney and Creosote sections on Pages 3 and 4). 3) Check draft (See POOR DRAFT section above). WOOD BURNS 1) The draft control must be closed further. TOO FAST: 2) Add fuel at lower firebox temperatures. 3) Load wood side to side and reduce the flow of air under wood. 4) The door seal may need replacing, check for leakage. 5) See “Excessive Draft.” POOR HEAT 1) Check your wood. Wet, moist, unseasoned wood will not produce heat. -
Page 19: Do's And Don'ts
Do’s and Don’ts DO NOT: Install or operate this stove before reading this manual. DO NOT: Close the draft beyond the point at which the flames are completely extinguished. DO NOT: Open the stove door without fully opening the draft first. DO NOT: Burn driftwood or wood that has been in salt water. This includes some mill ends and scrap lumber that has been floated in salt water on the way to the mill. (This will void your warranty). DO NOT: Handle the Nickel or Gold faceplate unnecessarily. Use the door handle only. DO NOT: Force oversized logs into the firebox as this may dislodge the baffle assembly. DO NOT: Close the door tightly during Burn-In Period. DO: Be sure to clean any fingerprints from the Gold or Nickel faceplate before burning the stove. Clean the Gold or Nickel door only with a household type glass cleaner and a very soft cloth. DO: Consult local building department if other than recommended clearances are desired. DO: Read instructions for the brick baffles occasionally to ensure you have not bumped or moved them out of place when loading wood. DO: Check the chimney and baffle a minimum of every 3 months to make sure they are clean. DO: Burn seasoned, dry wood only! (RAIN = WET WOOD) DO: Complete and return your warranty card. DO: Open the door frequently during Burn-In Period to keep gasket from adhering to the curing paint. - Page 20 BRICKS, BLANKET AND GASKETS H564 Firebrick (replacement - specify size) H5576 Firebrick Letter A - 4-1/4” x 9” ( per stove) H095 Firebrick Letter B - -1/4” x 8-7/8” (1 per stove) H5614 Firebrick Letter C - -1/” x 9” (1 per stove) H5607 Firebrick Letter D - 1-/4”...
