be stored within 12" of the stove.
DO NOT STORE OR USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY
GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF YOUR STOVE. NEVER USE
A GAS OR PROPANE TORCH, GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR
SIMILAR FLUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THIS
HEATER.
WARNING: DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS STOVE. This may cause
serious damage to your stove and void your warranty. It also
may create a fire hazard in your home. IF ANY EXTERNAL
PART OF THE UNIT BEGINS TO GLOW, YOU ARE OVERFIRING.
Immediately press the "POWER" switch on the control panel.
KEEP
ALL
LOOSE
COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS FURNITURE, DRAPES, TOYS, ETC.
AT LEAST THREE FEET FROM THE OPERATING STOVE.
Maintain proper ventilation. It is important that adequate
oxygen be supplied to the fire for the combustion process.
Modern houses are often so well insulated that it may become
necessary to open a window slightly or
vent to provide sufficient combustion air.
Since heating with a solid fuel is potentially hazardous, even
with a well made and thoroughly tested stove, it would be wise
to install strategically placed smoke detectors and have a fire
extinguisher in a convenient location, near an exit.

MAINTENANCE

FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED CAN
RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY HAZARDS. NEVER
CLEAN WHEN HOT.
NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have not
become plugged, if so, clean thoroughly.
ASH REMOVAL
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
The closed container or ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
surface or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials
pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by soil burial or
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
ASH DISPOSAL
This furnace has an ash bin located below the firebox. To remove
ashes:
1.
Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.
2.
With the door closed clean heat exchanger tubes (see "Cleaning").
3.
Open door and remove the optional imitation log set, if in use.

FIGURE 26
Do not open stove door when operating unless necessary.
This will create a dirty, inefficient burn and could allow smoke
spillage or sparks to escape.
Do not permit operation by young children or those unfamiliar
with stove's operation.
Do not service or clean this appliance without disconnecting
the power cord.
Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar
trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed,
cracked or broken.
If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or
in an area where direct sunlight can shine on the unit, it is
possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise
to operational levels; one of the sensors could then make the
stove start on its own. It is recommended that the stove be
unplugged when not in use for extended amounts of time (i.e.
during the summer months).
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn
rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations
to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a
manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design
specifications can result in permanent damage to the heater.
4.
Empty ashes from inner section into the ash bin through the
opening in the bottom of the firebox. Scrape inner section with
cleaning tool. Make sure holes are not plugged.
5.
Scrape ash in firebox into the ash bin through the opening in the
bottom of the firebox or vacuum to remove ashes. WARNING:
Make sure ashes are cool to the touch before using a vacuum.
See "Vacuum Use".
6.
Periodically remove and empty ash bin by unscrewing the two
knobs on the front of it and pulling it straight out. Dispose of
ashes properly (see "ASH REMOVAL" above).
7.
Replace ash bin, making sure to tighten the knobs and
maintaining a good seal.
8.
Replace inner section into burnpot; make sure it is level and
pushed all the way back down and that the igniter hole is to the
rear when it is rein stalled.
9.
Make the burnpot is level and pushed all the way back in when
it is rein stalled. If the collar on the burnpot attached to the
fresh air tube is not pushed back to meet the firebox wall, the
automatic starter will not work properly.
