Page 5: Stove Safety
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 7: Floor Protection
The floor protection If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor, it must be placed on a non-combustible hearth pad. In the USA, the floor protector must extend 8” beyond each side of the fuel loading door and 16” to the front (18” to the front in Canada). (See fig. 4) Floor protection under the stove must be a UL 1618 Type 1 Ember Protector composed of non- combustible material for protection from radiant heat, sparks and embers. -

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.

cause the stove to burn slower. This may cause some blackening of the stove glass, but this should burn off once the stove is burning brightly again. Refueling Before refueling your stove, turn the air supply on high for a few moments until there is a good fire within the stove. -
Page 17: Stove Maintenance
Stove Maintenance Check stove regularly Creosote: Formation and Need for Removal When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3 mm or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. -
Page 18: Care 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. -
