SAFETY NOTICE: IF THIS HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION IN-
SPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
To assure that satisfactory and safe service is received from this heater:
1. Read these instructions entirely before beginning any part of the installation.
2. Use these instructions as a guide during the installation of the heater.
3. Be sure these instructions become the property of and are reviewed by all future users of this heater to encourage proper operation and mainte-
nance of this appliance.
THIS HEATER IS ONLY FOR BURNING COAL. USE OF ANY OTHER SOLID FUEL EXCEPT FOR COAL IGNITION PURPOSES IS A VIOLA-
TION OF FEDERAL LAW.
This heater is designed to burn stove size bituminous or anthracite coal and to provide heat to one or more rooms. Because of its radiating
characteristics, this heater must be installed as an unenclosed, freestanding unit with clearances to combustibles as specified by these instructions.
This heater must be connected to a Listed Factory-Built Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance Chimney or a properly constructed and
maintained masonry chimney.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
This heater is not designed to burn lignite coal, liquid fuels, and gaseous fuels or household refuse. Any attempt to burn these type fuels, to enclose
the heater or to attach the heater to an air circulation system or a stoking device can be very hazardous.
THIS HEATER IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED IN A MOBILE HOME.
Improper installation or use of this heater can cause:
1. Damage to the heater from overheating.
2. Hazardous temperatures to develope on combustible materials adjacent to the heater, chimney connector or chimney.
3. Possible hazardous accumulation of coal gases within the heater.
4. Release of hazardous gas into the dwelling.

Page 2: Building Codes And Safety Standards
These instructions comply with the applicable Standards for the installation and operation of this type heater. Before beginning the installation, you should check with local building officials to assure compliance with local regulations and codes. This heater is safety listed by Warnock Hersey International, Inc. as specified by the listing label attached to the heater. The chimney draft draws in combustion air through an adjustable air inlet thermostat located inside the cabinet. - Page 3 FIGURE 3 - MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES FIGURE 4 - MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES SIDE SECTION VIEW PLAN SECTION VIEW...

Page 4: Floor Protection
This heater has been designed to prevent excessive temperatures on the floor beneath the heater. It is important, however, that a combustible floor be protected by a 3/8 inch minimum thick noncombustible inorganic millboard having a thermal conductivity of K=0.43 BTU/ft. shown by figure 5. - Page 5 through a combustible wall. NFPA Standard 211 allows the following wall pass-through systems. Use a minimum 3-1/2" thick brick masonry wall framed into the combustible wall. A fireclay liner (ASTM C315 or equivlent) having a 5/8" minimum wall thickness must be used and it must be at least 12" away from any material that could catch fire.
- Page 6 There are basically two methods of metal prefabricated chimney installation. One method is to install the chimney inside the residence through the ceiling and the roof. The other method is to install an exterior chimney that runs up the outside of the residence.

PART D FIGURE 5 PART E - (Figure 5) In addition to the methods shown by A, B, C, and D of Figure 5, a listed factory-built wall pass-through system may be purchased and installed according to the instructions packaged with it to provide a safe method of passing chimney connector through a combustible wall for a connection to a masonry chimney.

Page 8: Heater Inspection
FIGURE 8 - CONNECTING HEATER’S CHIMNEY CONNECTOR TO MASONRY CHIMNEY WHEN CHIMNEY CON- NECTOR DOES NOT HAVE TO PASS THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE WALL Before installing the heater, inspect the heater for external damage and missing parts. Check the gaskets around the doors to assure that they are still in place. -
Page 9: To Safely And Properly Install This Heater
Two common types of clearance reductions systems use sheet metal with a thickness of 28 gauge (galvanized steel, aluminum, copper) or a 3-1/2 inch (4 inch thick nominal) thick masonry wall. Either of these materials must be spaced out 1 inch from the combustible surfaces. -
Page 10: Heater Operation
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THE HEATER UNTIL A PROFESSIONAL INSPECTION HAS BEEN MADE OF THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION BY YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT, FIRE MARSHAL OR BUILDING CODE INSPEC- TOR. INSTALL A SMOKE DETECTOR ON EACH FLOOR OF YOUR HOME; IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL FIRE FROM ANY CAUSE IT CAN PROVIDE TIME FOR ESCAPE. -

5. When the wood is burning briskly, add additional kindling as required to establish a good kindling fire. 6. When the kindling fire has been established and is burning briskly, cover it with a thin layer of coal. If you add too much coal you will smother the fire, requiring you to start the whole process over again. -
Page 12: Minimum Fire Adjustment
8. DO NOT OVERFIRE THE HEATER. If any part of the heater or chimney connector becomes red hot, the heater is being overfired. Immediately turn the heater’s thermostat to “LO” and keep the fuel feed door and ash removal door closed until the heater cools. -
Page 13: Venting System ( Chimney And Chimney Connector)
Ashes should never be placed in wooden or plastic containers, or in paper or plastic bags, no matter how long the fire has been out. Coals have been known to stay hot for several days when embedded in ashes. VENTING SYSTEM (CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AND CHIMNEY) The venting system consists of the heater’s chimney connector (the pipe which connects the heater to the chimney) and the chimney itself. -

WHAT TO DO IF THE HEATER SMOKES OR BURNS POORLY OR EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATES IN THE CHIMNEY 1. Open a window slightly to see if the conditions improve. If opening a window improved the performance of the heater or stops the spillage of smoke into the room, the problem is caused by a slight vacuum in the room. -
Page 15: Quick Reference To The Most Common Solutions For The Most Common Heater Operational Problems
PROBLEMS 1. Symptom: Fire rate does not increase with thermostat open, smoke spilling from feed door when tending fire or backpuffing. Check for: a. Chimney connector pushed too far into a masonry chimney thimble restricting draft. b. Chimney or chimney connector restricted with creosote. c. -
