Safety Rules SAFETY NOTICE: If this heater is not properly installed a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area. Read these rules and the instructions carefully. Check with local codes.
Installation Place the heater on solid masonry or solid concrete. When the heater is used on a combustible floor, use an Underwrit- ers Listed floor protector. The floor protector must comply with UL Standards. The base should extend at least 16" beyond the door side of the heater and should extend under the flue pipe if it is elbowed towards a wall.
Operation of the Heater BE SURE TO PUT A LAYER OF SAND OR FIREBRICK APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2" THICK IN THE BOTTOM OF THE STOVE BEFORE STARTING FIRE. Burn wood or wood products only. The wood should be air dried for at least six months prior to use for maximum efficiency. After the fire has been started and is burning satisfactorily, adjust the rate of burning by opening or closing the draft damper wheel on the feed door.
