esTing nformaTion This manual describes the installation and operation of the Legacy™/Elite™ C/E260 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.

rafTing 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.
isPosal Ashes should be scooped out of a cool stove with a small metal shovel. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

PeraTing inTs Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood for maxi- mum heat output. In some states it is illegal to burn wet wood or anything other than clean, dry wood products.

lean lass see mainTenance on Page 15 for glass cleaning TiPs The operator plays an important part in keeping the glass clean and free of buildups. The first and most important part the operator plays is making sure to burn only well-seasoned firewood.
’ aximizing Tove It is important to know that for high, combustion efficient, clean burns, you will need to have sufficient temperatures inside the firebox for thorough combustion. The best method for determining if you have sufficient temperatures is to watch the brick lining in your firebox.
Experiment with different loading configurations to achieve longer burns. Try loading the wood from side to side and nesting it in the ashes to prevent airflow under and around the wood. Fresh wood should be loaded to the back of the firebox or to the sides.
rouBleshooTing roBlem POOR DRAFT: Extend chimney in length or have the chimney realigned to the proper size flue. Oversized chimneys normally 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.
’ ’ s anD 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.
