1. Remove the 4 screws from the center back
of the heater. See figure 5.
2. Mount the fan with the motor and cord on the
right side of the heater. Replace the screws.
3. Remove the 2 center screws at the top right
side of the heater. Mount the snap disc
thermostat in this manner:
a. Line up the square faceplate with the
inside set of holes drilled at the top right
of the heater. Bolt on the faceplate with
screws on the left and right.
b. Line up the holes in the snap disc
thermostat with the holes on the top and
bottom of the faceplate. Secure with the
2 small screws provided. The electrical
prongs should protrude on either side.
4. Remove the 2 remaining screws on either
side of the snap disc thermostat.
the junction box over the snap disc
thermostat installation, replacing both
screws.
5. Remove 1 of the knockouts in the junction
box and install the romex connector. Slip all
6 wires (3 in each section of cord) through
the connector far enough so that the black
rubber insulation on the 2 cords shows inside
the junction box. Tighten the screws on the
cords.
6. Slip a black wire over each prong on the
snap disc thermostat. The 2 white wires
should be fastened together and protected
with a wire nut. The green ground wires
should securely fastened under the green
grounding screw located within the junction
box.

STARTING THE FIRST FIRE
Caution: Never use chemicals or fluids such as
gasoline, charcoal lighter fluid, drain oil or
kerosene to start or freshen a fire in your
heater. Keep all such liquids will away from the
heater while it is in use.

If your heater included the grate option, simply
build your first fire right on the grate. If you
have the firebrick option, build directly on the
firebrick. Do not elevate the fire!
Place several pieces of paper and some small
dry kindling inside the heater. Ignite the paper
and close the door.
It will take a few minutes for the fire to establish
itself. Once you have some good, red hot,
burning embers add larger pieces of wood. All
chimneys and hookups act differently. After a
while, however, you will find out how your
heater works best for starting.
After a time, you can adjust draft according to
Install
your needs. On the air tight heater such as
yours, the burning time is controlled very much
by the draft controls, contrary to the old type
stove where the stovepipe damper controlled
the burning time. Because of installation
characteristics and the condition of the fuel you
burn, your actual experience will vary but
generally the front, bottom draft control,
controls how fast the fuel burns. The draft
control located on the fuel door will control how
efficiently the fuel burns. Too little air from the
draft control in the door and you will get poor
combustion. Too much air through the door
draft control and you will let too much heat
escape up the chimney. Your heater is capable
of putting out a lot of heat so don't fully load
your heater or open the draft controls fully until
you have become familiar with the heater.
Keep in mind, a full load will not always give
you the best results for your needs. Note: with
new metal, you may smell an odor. This is
normal during the first operation and will
dissipate shortly.
When loading a heater that has existing hot
coals, rake the red-hot embers evenly. Put a
few smaller pieces of wood on coals first, and
then load up. Close the fuel door.
