Introduction; Codes; Safety Information - HearthStone Castleton 8030 AU Owner's Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Castleton woodstove
from Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products.
This stove will provide years of comfortable heat.
This stove also provides the benefits of advanced
technology in wood burning without the cost and
maintenance requirements of a catalytic device. The
Castleton blends modern technology with the unique
beauty and qualities of cast iron. We trust that you
will appreciate the quality of this handcrafted
product.
Your Castleton woodstove burns very efficiently, and
produces a large amount of heat. However, you
should not consider your Castleton the primary heat
source for your home. The Castleton's large glass
window allows you to enjoy the fire from a variety of
locations in the room.
Please read this manual in its entirety. Its purpose is
to familiarize you with your stove's safe installation,
proper break-in, operation and maintenance. It
contains extremely important information so keep it
handy and refer to it often.
A qualified heating technician may need this owner's
manual as a reference when installing this stove in
your home. There are national, state, and local
building codes that direct the technician on how to
install your stove. These codes stipulate the
dimension of stovepipe and clearances to walls,
ceilings, hearth, and other combustible surfaces.
The codes exist to reduce the risk of fire. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire, property
damage, bodily injury, and even death.
Install the stove in a safe, open area, away from
traffic flow, doors, and hallways. If possible, try to
install the stove near an existing chimney and
chimney connector. It is extremely important to
install this stove with the proper clearance from
combustible surfaces. You can purchase specific
connector pipe and special wall coverings as
specified by this manual and AZ/NZ 2918:2001 to
protect combustible surfaces. As a general rule,
keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and
other combustibles at least 36 inches (92 cm) away
from the stove. Never install the stove in or near a
storage location for gasoline, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid or any other flammable liquids.
Install the stove in your central living area to allow
heat to radiate naturally to distant rooms. Do not
install your stove in a poorly insulated area. This is
inefficient and would likely result in higher fuel
usage.
