SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING
!
If the information in these instructions are not followed
exactly, a fi re or explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or death.
Please read entire manual before you install and use your
heater.
- This heater can be very hot when burning.
- Combustible materials such as fi rewood, wet clothing, etc.
placed too close can catch fi re.
- Children and pets must be kept from touching the heater when
it is hot.
- The chimney must be sound and free of cracks. Before
installing this unit, contact the local building or fi re or other
authority having jurisdiction and follow their guidelines.
- Operate only with the doors tightly closed.
- Do not use an elevated grate or otherwise raise the fi re.
- This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher
effi ciencies and lower emissions generally result when
burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to
softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
- Do not start a fi re with chemicals or fl uids such as gasoline,
engine oil, etc.
- Do not burn treated wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper,
cardboard, solvents or garbage.
- Do not let the heater become hot enough for any part to glow
red.

    Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas that is toxic when inhaled, and can be fatal depending on concentration levels and exposure time. Note that although carbon monoxide will be present in poor combustion process that creates smoke (as described above), it is not necessary for smoke to be pres- ent while high levels of carbon monoxide are being created.
