SAFETY GUIDELINES AND
WARNINGS
1) Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuels,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or similar liquids
to start or 'freshen up' a fire in your heater. Keep
all such liquids well away from the heater while
it is in use.
2) Keep the door closed during operation and
maintain all seals in good condition.
3) Do not burn any quantities of paper, garbage, and
never burn flammable fluids such as gasoline,
naptha or engine oil in your stove. Some fuels
(eg. charcoal) can give off CO2, which is harmful
and can cause sickness.
4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overfire heater. Attempts to achieve
heat output rates that exceed heater design
specifications can result in permanent damage
to the heater If the chimney connector, flue baffle
or the stove top begin to glow, you are overfir-
ing. Stop adding fuel and close the draft control.
Overfiring can cause extensive damage to your
stove including warpage and premature steel
corrosion. Overfiring will void your warranty. Do
not operated stove with access panes, doors or
windows open.
6) Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the
chimney system. Check and clean chimney at
regular intervals. Failure to do so can result in
a serious chimney fire.

vide adequate ventilation with an air duct or
open a window while the stove is in use.

serving another appliance.
10) Do not use grates or andirons or other methods
for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the bricks.

duct.
13) Your woodstove must burn dry, seasoned-
standard firewood only. The use of cut lum-
ber, plywood, "mill ends", coal, charcoal etc.

your woodstove. Evidence of excessive
overheating will void your warranty. As well,
a large portion of sawmill waste is chemi-
cally treated lumber, which is illegal to burn
in many areas. Salt drift wood, chemically
treated fire logs and wet/green wood also
must not be burned in your woodstoves.

FAN MAINTENANCE
TO REMOVE THE FAN:
Reverse Steps 5-2 in fan installation section.
Maintenance: The sealed bearings are lubricat-
ed, there is no need to lubricate them further. (Ex-
tra lubricant will cause more lint and dust buildup
- causing the bearings to prematurely fail).
Regular cleaning and vacuuming of the fan area

home. Ensure you maintain these fan motors
