    Stove Safety When properly maintained and operated your stove should give you many years of service. However, there are important safety aspects of these products that you need to be aware of when operating a wood stove. 1. Hi Flame recommends that you have your new stove installed by a professional installer of solid fuel burning appliances.
  • Page 6: Check Building Codes

    Check Building Codes • When installing, operating and maintaining your stove, follow the guidelines presented in these instructions, and make them available to anyone using or servicing the stove. • Your city, town, county or province may require a building permit to install a solid fuel burning appliance.

  • Page 8: Installation Clearances

    Installation Clearances It is extremely important that you respect required installation distances and that you respect local installation regulations. This is for your safety. The manufacturer is not responsible for the product if it is not installed following these recommendations. These clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority.
  • Page 9: Well Sealed Flue System

    Well sealed flue system Only materials and items approved for solid fuel stoves should be used for your stove. Under no circumstances should you use aluminum or galvanized steel pipes for your stove flue. Always fit pipes with the narrow side down. This will allow any creosote to run down the inside of the pipe and not to come out and cause an unsightly mess and possible fire hazard.
  • Page 10: Chimney

    This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the pipe or the stovetop. All joints, including the flue collar connection, must be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate. For the best performance, the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90°...
  • Page 11: 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.
  • Page 12: Masonry Chimney

    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.
  • Page 13: Masonry Fireplace

    Masonry Fireplace There are listed kits available to connect a stove to a masonry fireplace. The kit is an adapter that is installed at the location of the fireplace damper. The existing damper may have to be removed to allow installation.

  • Page 15: Operating Your Stove

    Operating Your Stove • Do not use a grate, andiron or other fuel support method. Build fire directly on the hearth. • Only open door to fuel/refuel the stove. Excess air can cause the stove to over fire. Do not over fire.
  • Page 16: Refueling

    Refueling Before refueling your stove, turn the air supply on high for a few moments until there is a good fire within the stove. This will ensure there is no build-up of harmful gases in the stove when the door is opened and will also get the new fuel burning quickly and not allow it to kill the fire. To reload the stove, open the door and feed the fuel in slowly, using tongs.
  • Page 17: Stove Maintenance

    When you return to your stove, fully open the air control (move lever all the way to the left) until you have a good fire and then set to normal operating level. Do not add fuel until the fire bed is hot and red.
  • Page 18: Care Of Glass And Replacement Of Glass

    Care of glass At times, especially when the air control is turned to a low setting or when damp wood is used, the stove glass will blacken. This is caused by fuel that is not completely burned, but the build- up on the inside of the glass will normally burn off when a good hot fire is established in the stove.
