This manual contains instructions for Installation, Operation & Maintenance.
Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to follow
instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
1) When installing your stove, particular attention should be paid to fire protection. If this room heater is not properly installed,
a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions. Contact local building or fire officials or
authority having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection and permit requirements in your area.
2) CAUTION: Never use gasoline or gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen
up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from heater while it is in use.
3) During operation, if any part of the stove starts to glow, the stove is in an overfired condition. Close the air controls completely
until the glowing has stopped. OVERFIRING VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY!
4) Cool ashes should be disposed of carefully, using a metal container.
5) Do not burn wet or green wood. Store wood in a dry location.
6) DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. Do not burn
treated wood, or wood with salt (driftwood, etc.). Burning materials other than wood (including charcoal) under adverse
conditions may generate carbon monoxide in the home, resulting in illness or possible death.
7) Do not permit creosote or soot to accumulate excessively in the chimney or inside the firebox.
8) Check your chimney system thoroughly when installing into an existing metal or masonry chimney. Seek professional
advice if in doubt about its condition.
9) Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue already serving another appliance.
10) Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as shown in this manual for this appliance.
11) Build fire on brick firebox floor. Do not use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.
12) HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! Keep children, pets, clothing and furniture away. Contact can cause skin burns.
13) Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
14) RISK OF FIRE! Do not operate with stove door open without the firescreen or with the ash removal system door open.
15) For further information refer to NFPA 211 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B365 (Canada).
16) Do not operate without fully assembling all components.
17) Do not operate with broken glass.

  • Page 9: Locating Your Stove

    LOCATING YOUR STOVE WHEN LOCATING YOUR STOVE consider safety, convenience, traffic flow, and the fact that the stove will need a chimney and chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the installation.
  • Page 10: Reversible Flue Collar

    REVERSIBLE FLUE COLLAR The flue collar is reversible for either a top or rear venting installation. Accessory Horizontal Flue Heat Shield, Part HTSHLD-7006, is required in rear vent installations. The stove is shipped with the flue collar in the top vent position. CONVERTING COLLAR FOR REAR VENT INSTALLATION Lift off cast top.
  • Page 11: Chimney Height Requirements & Draft

    CHIMNEY HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS AND DRAFT To be sure that your stove burns properly, the chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.04” water column (W.C.) during a low burn and -.10” W.C. during a high burn, measured 6 inches” (152mm) above the top of the stove after one hour of operation at each burn setting.
  • Page 12: Masonry Chimney

    MASONRY CHIMNEY or optimal performance, masonry chimneys used to vent this appliance should be lined with a 6 inch stainless steel liner. Installations into a clay flue without a stainless steel liner may reduce draw which affects performance, cause the glass to darken and produce excessive creosote.
  • Page 13: Solid Pack Chimney With Metal Supports As A Thimble

    SOLID PACK CHIMNEY WITH METAL SUPPORTS AS A THIMBLE For the method of installation to a masonry chimney shown in Figures 14A & 14B on page 14, it will be necessary to purchase a 12 inch (305mm) long, [8 inch (203mm) inside diameter], section of prefabricated listed solid pack chimney to use as a thimble. Purchase a wall spacer, trim collar, and a wall band manufactured to fit the chimney section you purchased.
  • Page 14: As A Thimble

    SOLID PACK CHIMNEY WITH METAL SUPPORTS AS A THIMBLE (CONT'D) First, make the frame for the thimble, ensuring it is no smaller than 14 inches (356mm) square to maintain a 2 inch (51mm) air space around the chimney section. Attach the wall spacer to the chimney side of the frame. Then insert the frame into the opening, toe nailing it to the wall studs.
  • Page 15: Metal Prefabricated Chimney

    CONNECTION TO A METAL PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed precisely. It will be necessary to install the ceiling support package or wall pass through, “T” section package, firestops (when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, and any other materials deemed necessary by the instructions of the prefabricated chimney manufacturer.
  • Page 16: Mobile Home Installation

    MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while stove is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a fire.

  • Page 18: Over-Firing Your Appliance

    OVER-FIRING YOUR APPLIANCE WARNING Fire Risk Do not over-fire. Over-firing may ignite creosote or will damage the stove and chimney. To prevent over-firing your stove, DO NOT: • Use flammable liquids • Overload with wood • Burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber •...
  • Page 19: Air Controls

    FINAL STAGE The final stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs when the flammable gases have been mostly burned and only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of the burn. The coals burn with hot blue flames. It is very important to reload your stove while enough lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood.
  • Page 20: Heat Output Setting

    For maximum operating efficiency with the lowest emissions, follow these operating procedures: Regardless of desired heat output, when loading stove, burn your stove with both air controls wide open for 5 to 15 minutes. Regulate burn rate (heat output) by using the Primary Air Control (front control). The Start-Up Air Control (rear control) is for initial start-up and reloading.
  • Page 21: Correct Baffle & Blanket Placement

    CORRECT BAFFLE & BLANKET PLACEMENT WARNING Fire Risk Firebox damage due to improper baffle place- ment is not covered by warranty. Operate the wood burning appliance with the baffle in the correct position only. Not doing so could result in: •...
  • Page 22: Opacity

    This is the measure of how cleanly your stove is burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen. As you become familiar with your stove, you should periodically check the opacity.
  • Page 23: Maintenance

    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 newly-started or a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
  • Page 24: Glass Replacement

    GLASS CARE (CONT'D) Do not clean the glass with abrasive materials that may scratch or otherwise damage the glass. Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks or breaks. Never attempt to clean the glass while a fire is in the stove. The best method for maintaining clean glass is to operate the stove efficiently by using dry well seasoned wood and burning moderate to hot fires.
  • Page 25: Brick Replacement

    BRICK REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS The firebox of your stove is lined with high quality firebrick which has exceptional insulating properties. There is no need for a grate, simply build a fire on the firebrick. Be certain coals are completely cold. Remove all old brick and ash from unit and vacuum out firebox.
