Safety Notice
If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation
directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.
Read and follow all of the warnings on pages 4 and 5 of this manual.
Before Your First Fire
Verify the Installation
Before starting the Insert, verify that the Insert is properly installed and all of the requirements in this
manual have been followed.
Keep all flammable materials 36" away from the front of the Insert (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc.).
Curing the Paint
This heater uses a heat-activated paint that will emit some fumes while
starting the first fire. Open doors and windows to the room to vent these
fumes. This typically lasts two to four hours. You may also notice oil burning
off of the interior of the heater. This rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate.
Door Gasket - The door gasket might adhere to the paint on the front of the
heater. Leave the door slightly ajar for the first fire and be careful when
opening the door after the first fire.
Over-Firing the Insert
This Insert was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in vent configuration,
fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If the Insert top or other area
starts to glow red, you are over-firing the Insert. Shut the air control down to low and allow the Insert to
cool before proceeding.
Over-firing may lead to damage of plated surfaces. If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, we
suggest placing an Insert thermometer (e.g. Rutland® Model 710) directly over the door on the Insert top
- temperatures exceeding 800° are generally considered over-firing and will void the warranty.
Opening the Door

The door becomes hot during use. Use a glove to open the door if the handle is hot.
To prevent smoke from entering the room, open the air control before opening the door. You can also
open the door a small amount and let air enter the firebox.
