These appliances must be properly installed and operated in order to prevent the possibility of a house fire. Please read this entire installation and operation manual before installing and using your wood stove. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
5. Do not use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep all flammable liquids and combustible materials 36” from any point of the stove when it is in use.
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.
This moisture will reduce initial heat output of your stove and may make it difficult to start. After you have broken in the paint on the stove it will be necessary to build hot fires to thoroughly remove the moisture from the appliance. Run-...
The covering must extend 457 mm in front of the door opening of the heater and 200mm to either side of the stove body and 200 mm to the rear or to the wall, whichever is smaller. In all installations a 457mm minimum hearth extension (in front of the stove) is required as measured from the door opening of the unit.

Note: The threaded rods used to bolt the legs to the stove are packaged with the heatshield, as a heatshield is required when a stove is installed on legs. Residential and Mobile Homes (Bolting down and grounding of stove are required only in mobile homes).
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.
9. If the stove is to be fastened to the floor, attach the stove with the supplied lag bolts, through the pedestal base on opposite sides, attaching them into the floor beneath the floor protection.
4. Make sure the outside air vent has been sealed properly to keep rodents out (if applicable). 5. Be sure all roof flashings are watertight. 6. Be sure the stove is properly grounded (if appli- cable). FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION AND INSURANCE...

3. 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 sup- port. 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 stain- less support when it is fully forward.
Remove the four screws from the back of the stove. Use one of the four screws with a washer on it and attach the blower through one of the four mounting legs on the blower housing.
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.
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.
To achieve long burn times, after having thoroughly pre- heated the stove, let the stove top cool down to to 00 degrees (on Elites, locate thermometer on the face of the insert just above the door). Now load the firebox and set the draft control.
This indicates the stove is too hot to load for a long burn. Also, do not load wood for a long burn on a deep bed of hot coals. Try stirring the coals a few minutes before loading the stove for a low burn to allow some of the unburned coals time to burn.
OUTPUT: 2) Your stove needs to be seasoned (moisture removed from the steel and brick). Continue to burn a fire. It normally takes from one to three weeks of burning to season your stove (See Break-in Procedures on page 5).
DO NOT: Close the door tightly during break-in period. Be sure to clean any fingerprints from the Gold or Nickel faceplate before burning the stove. Clean the Gold or Nickel door only with Windex and a very soft cloth. Consult local building department if other than recommended clearances are desired.
