Outside Air Kit; Operation - MHSC WR247001 Owner's Manual

1. Do not install in sleeping room.
2. An outside air source is required to feed air to the
firebox.
3. The stove must be securely fastened to the mobile
home floor.
4. The listed chimney package, with spark arrester,
must be attached directly to the stove.
5. The stove must be place on a noncombustible
hearth extension pad.
6. Overall height of mobile solid fuel heater and its
chimney shall not be less than 10' (3 m) or more
than 20' (6 m).
WaRNiNg: it is important that no ceiling or floor
joists be cut when installing either the outside air
kit or chimney.
Mobile Home chimney installation
Locate the stove considering both floor and ceiling
construction. Outside air intake vent must pass through
the floor or wall. The chimney must pass through the
ceiling. Both must be done without interrupting struc-
tural forms. Refer to outside air installation instructions
supplied with the kit. The first section of connector pipe
must be fastened to the stove with three (3) sheet metal
screws.
important precautions
A source of fresh air must be provided into the room.
Your stove has been designed to burn clean and ef-
ficiently. Failure to operate as instructed in this manual
will result in poor combustion with subsequent smoking,
creosote build up and unsatisfactory heat production.
Do not store combustible materials within 48" (1.2 m)
of the stove. This stove is designed to operate with the
doors closed only.
cautiON: this stove is designed to burn wood
only.
dO NOt burn coal. Open the door slowly to allow
gases to escape up the chimney and help prevent
smoke rollout.
dO NOt burn salt-water driftwood, as it will corrode the
stove.
dO NOt over-fire your stove. If any parts of your stove
or chimney connector start to glow, you are over-firing.

Outside air kit

An optional kit is available for installations utilizing out-
side combustion air. Order the outside air kit and follow
the directions for installation.
Some older masonry chimneys have flue areas of 8"
x 12", 12" x 12" or as large as 16" x 16" and are prob-
ably unlined. These chimneys would take more than
2 hours to warm up and may smoke frequently (this is

not a stove problem). The solution would be to reduce
the area by relining it with an approved chimney liner or
replacing the chimney.
Regulations specify the chimney must extend 2' (610
mm) above a 10' (3 m) radius of the top of the chimney.

Operation

Do not use a grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire
directly on hearth. When the stove is used for the first
time the solvents in the paint will smoke off.
Wood
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. High-
er efficiency and lower emissions generally result when
burning air dried seasoned hardwood, as compared to
softwood or to green or freshly cut hardwood.
Only use dry seasoned wood. Green wood, besides
burning at only 60 percent of the fuel value of dry wood,
deposits creosote on the inside of your stove and along
the chimney. This can cause an extreme danger of
chimney fire. To be called "seasoned", wood must be
dried for a year. Regardless of whether the wood is
green or seasoned, it should be stored in a well-shel-
tered, ventilated area to allow proper drying during the
year to come. Wood should be stored beyond recom-
mended clearance from combustibles.

instructions for first burn - curing the Stove paint
Your stove has been painted with the highest quality
stove paint and has special break-in procedures. The
heat generated by the normal operation of the stove,
will serve to harden the paint.
Ventilate the house during the first three times the stove
is used. The paint on the stove will give off smoke,
carbon dioxide and an odor. Without adequate ventila-
tion, concentrations of smoke could irritate you or cause
damage to person and/or property. Open doors and
windows and use a fan if necessary. After the initial
burns the paint will be cured and there should be no
more smoke.
Each of the initial burns should be conducted as fol-
lows:
1. The first and second burns should be approximately
250° F (120° C) for approximately 20 minutes.
2. The third burn should be between 500° F (260 to
370° C) for at least 45 minutes. The important fact is
the paint should be cured slowly. Avoid hot fires dur-
ing the curing process.
During the curing process the paint will be gummy.
Once cured the paint will remain hard.
It is normal to see flat spots on painted surfaces of the
stove. The flat spots on the paint surface indicate the
