Drapes, curtains, furniture and other combustible materials should be kept much further away from the heater to avoid fire.

Page 5: Locating The Heater
Locating The Heater AS A LOCATION IS SELECTED, KEEP THE FOLLOWING MIND 1. The chimney connection should be as airtight as possible. The heater must have its own chimney flue. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance. If there is no chimney near where you wish to place the heater, you can use a UL 103HT Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance Chimney. -
Page 6: Chimney Connection
Chimney Connection Two basic types of chimneys are approved for use with solid fuel: Factory-built and masonry. Factory-built chimney must comply with UL 103 type “HT” standard. Do not expect your stove or furnace to create draft. Draft is not a function of the appliance. It is purely a function of the chimney. - Page 7 Chimney Your stove may be hooked up with a 6” factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 standard; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Page 8: Factory Built Chimney
Factory Built Chimney When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. - Page 9 Venting Into A Fireplace Many people may wish to convert an existing fireplace to heater use. Usually, safe connection of stovepipe to a masonry chimney requires more effort than connection to a prefabricated chimney. The fireplace must be closed and sealed at the damper in the flue. Good sealants are high temperature caulking, ceramic wool, and furnace cement.

Page 10: Masonry Chimney
Masonry Chimney Masonry Chimneys have several positive attributes: If properly built, they are quite durable, and most homeowners consider them more attractive perhaps than a non-enclosed factory built chimney. And, if the chimney is located within the confines of the house (that is, not attached to an exterior wall), its mass alone will store heat longer and continue to release the heat long after the fire has died. - Page 11 Masonry Chimney Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed.

Bulletin RC454 A guide to burning coal in your heater. Heaters that are capable of burning coal usually will burn both Bituminous and Anthracite coal. Anthracite is perhaps the best coal fuel because of its long even burn time, high heat output, and cleanliness which make it a good choice for the home. - Page 17 Barometric draft regulators are generally available where you purchased your stove or may be ordered directly from United States Stove Company at a nominal charge.
