SAFETY NOTICE
• IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW
THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
• CONSULT YOUR MUNICIPAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT PERMITS, RESTRICTIONS AND
INSTALLATIONS REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
• USE SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE ROOM WHERE YOUR STOVE IS INSTALLED.
• KEEP FURNITURE AND DRAPES WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE.
• NEVER USE GASOLINE, 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 THE
HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
• IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE, PUSH THE AIR CONTROL FULL CLOSED TO DEPRIVE THE FIRE OF OXYGEN.
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
• A SOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM OR SPACE HEATED SHALL BE PROVIDED WHEN REQUIRED.
POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor
the most efcient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the
room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves produce
radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood stove. A wood stove also functions by convection,
that is through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air. If necessary,
the hot air distribution from the stove may be facilitated by the installation of a blower. The wood stove must not
be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an excessive accumulation of heat may occur. A wood stove
must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of re or fail to respect
required clearances.
FLOOR PROTECTOR
This heater must have a non-combustible oor protector with an R-Value
of at least 1.4 installed beneath it if the oor is constructed of combustible
material. If a oor pad is used, it should be UL listed or equal. The oor
protector should be large enough to extend under the stove and beyond
each side as indicated. If there is a horizontal run of ue pipe, there needs
to be oor protection under it that extends two inches beyond either side
of the pipe.
The oor protector should exceed the stove as follows:
REAR
FRONT
SIDE SIDE
Front Sides Rear
22”
(559 mm)
8”

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
It is of utmost importance that the clearances to combustible materials be strictly adhered to during installation
of the stove. Refer to the tables below.
• If there is a Horizontal run of ue pipe there must be at lease 18” of clearance between the pipe and the
ceiling. There also has to be oor protection under the horizontal run that extends 2” beyond each side of the
ue pipe.
• Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7’ (2.13 m) in all cases.
• Do not place any combustible material within 4’ (1.2 m) of the front of the unit.
• The clearance between the ue pipe and a wall are valid only for vertical walls and for vertical ue pipe.
• The chimney connector must not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, a
oor, or a ceiling.
• For Canadian installations, where passage through a wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired,
the installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
• A ue pipe crossing a combustible wall must have a minimum clearance of 18” (457.2 mm).
• To reduce ue clearances from combustible materials, contact your local safety department.

Slide the hose clamp over the aluminium ex pipe. Then slide the ex pipe over the air intake tube of the stove.
Next tighten the hose clamp over the end of the aluminium ex hose.
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
Your wood stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake (4FAK) which
is necessary for a mobile home. This type of installation is also required in air tight
houses and houses with negative pressure problems. You can purchase this option
through your heater dealer. Make sure to specify the part number mentioned in
this booklet. Installation instructions are supplied with the air intake kit.
Outside combustion air may be required if:
1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke roll-out occurs, wood burns poorly, or
back-drafts occur whether or not there is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-red equipment in the house, such as replaces or other heating
appliances, smell, do not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out when opened,
or back-drafts occur whether or not there is combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight tting windows and/or has any powered
devices that exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.

• WARNING! DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOM.
• CAUTION! THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE
MAINTAINED.
• INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH 24 CFR, PART 3280 (HUD).
• USE A FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY THAT COMPLIES WITH UL 103 STAN
DARDS; THEREFORE IT MUST BE A TYPE HT
(2100°F).
• USE A SPARK ARRESTER.
• THE STOVE MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE MOBILE HOME.
SECURING APPLIANCE’S ON A PEDESTAL TO THE FLOOR
Use the designated holes to secure the unit to the oor.
SECURING APPLIANCE’S WITH LEGS TO THE FLOOR
1. The bracket engages around the square extrusion of the leveling bolt inserted into the leg.
2. Once appliance is leveled, position the bracket and attach to the oor using the appropriate hardware
needed for your specic ooring.
3. Install one bracket per leg or consult your local authority having jurisdiction to determine how many points of
attachment are required.
-7-
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE)
The chimney connector and chimney must have the same
diameter as the stove outlet (6”). If this is not the case, we
recommend you contact your dealer to ensure there will be
no problem with the draft. The stovepipe must be made of
aluminized or cold roll steel and have a minimum thickness of
0.021” or 0.53mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.
The smoke pipe should be assembled to promote the male
section (crimped end) of the pipe to be faced down. Attach
each section to another with three equidistant metal screws.
The pipe must be short and straight. All sections installed
horizontally must slope at least 1/4 inch per foot, with the upper
end of the section toward the chimney. Any installation with
a horizontal run of chimney pipe must conform to NFPA 211.
Contact NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and request the latest edition of the NFPA Standard 211. To
ensure a good draft, the total length of the coupling pipe should never exceed 8’ to 10’ (2.4m to 3.04m). Except
for cases of vertical installation, in a cathedral-roof style where the smoke exhaust system can be much longer and
connected without problem to the chimney at the ceiling of the room. There should never be more than two 90
degrees elbows in the smoke exhaust system. The installation of a “barometric draft stabilizer” (replace register)
on a smoke exhaust system is prohibited. Furthermore, the installation of a draft damper is not recommended.
With a controlled combustion wood stove, the draft is regulated upon intake of the combustion air in the stove
and not at the exhaust.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is a force that moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft
may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An inadequate draft may cause back-pufng into the
room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney. An inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints. An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates an
excessive draft.
CHIMNEY
Your wood stove may be hooked up with a 6” factory-
built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory-
built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or CSA-B365
standard; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It
must be installed according to the manufacturer’s
specications. Take into account the chimney’s
location to ensure it is not too close to neighbors or
in a valley which may cause unhealthy or nuisance
conditions. If you are using a masonry chimney, it
must be built in compliance with the specications of
the National Building Code. It must be lined with re
clay bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with re cement. Round ues are the most efcient. The interior
diameter of the chimney ue must be identical to the stove smoke exhaust. A ue which is too small may cause
draft problems, while a large ue favors rapid cooling of the gas, and hence the build-up of creosote and the
risk of chimney res. Note that it is the chimney and not the stove which creates the draft effect; your stove’s
performance is directly dependent on an adequate draft from your chimney. Do not connect this unit to a
chimney ue serving another appliance.
The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney:
1. It must rise above the roof at least 3’ (0.9m) from the uppermost point of contact.
2. The chimney must exceed any part of the building or other obstruction within a 10’ (3.04m) distance by a
height of 2’ (0.6m).
3. The installation of an interior chimney is always preferable to an exterior chimney. Indeed, the interior
chimney will, by denition, be hotter than an exterior chimney, being heated up by the ambient air in the
house. Therefore the gas which circulates will cool more slowly, thus reducing the build-up of creosote and
the risk of chimney res.
4. The draft caused by the tendency for hot air to rise will be increased with an interior chimney.
5. Using a re screen at the extremity of the chimney requires regular inspection to ensure that it is not obstructed
thus blocking the draft, and it should be cleaned when used regularly.

FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s
installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase
(from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support
package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, restops
(where needed), insulation shield, roof ashing, chimney cap, etc.
Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended
by the manufacturer. The chimney must be the required height
above the roof or other obstructions for safety and proper draft
operation.
MASONRY CHIMNEY
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum
standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there
are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration
and blockage. Be sure to the chimney cleaned before the
stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove
through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special
methods are needed.

COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PASS-THROUGHS
METHOD A - 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a
5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a
wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315
(Standard Specication for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent.
Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick masonry between
the clay liner and wall combustibles. The clay liner shall run
from the brick masonry outer surface to the inner surface of the
chimney ue liner but not past the inner surface. Firmly grout or
cement the clay liner in place to the chimney ue liner.
METHOD B - 9” (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member: Using a 6” (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-
built Solid-Pak chimney section with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or
more, build a wall pass-through with a minimum 9” (228.6 mm)
air space between the outer wall of the chimney length and
wall combustibles. Use sheet metal supports fastened securely
to wall surfaces on all sides, to maintain the 9” (228.6 mm) air
space. When fastening supports to chimney length, do not
penetrate the chimney liner (the inside wall of the Solid-Pak
chimney). The inner end of the Solid-Pak chimney section shall
be ush with the inside of the masonry chimney ue, and sealed
with a non-water soluble refractory cement. Use this cement to
also seal to the brick masonry penetration.
METHOD C - 6” (152.4 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member: Starting with a minimum 24 gage (.024” [.61 mm])
6” (152.4 mm) metal chimney connector, and a minimum 24
gage ventilated wall thimble which has two air channels of 1”
(25.4 mm) each, construct a wall pass-through. There shall be a
minimum 6” (152.4 mm) separation area containing berglass
insulation, from the outer surface of the wall thimble to wall
combustibles. Support the wall thimble, and cover its opening
with a 24-gage minimum sheet metal support. Maintain the 6”
(152.4 mm) space. There should also be a support sized to t
and hold the metal chimney connector. See that the supports
are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure
fasteners used to secure the metal chimney connector do not
penetrate chimney ue liner.
METHOD D - 2” (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member: Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney
section at least 12” (304 mm) long, with insulation of 1” (25.4
mm) or more, and an inside diameter of 8” (2 inches [51 mm]
larger than the 6” [152.4 mm] chimney connector). Use this as a
pass-through for a minimum 24-gauge single wall steel chimney
connector. Keep solid-pak section concentric with and spaced
1” (25.4 mm) off the chimney connector by way of sheet
metal support plates at both ends of chimney section. Cover
opening with and support chimney section on both sides with
24 gage minimum sheet metal supports. See that the supports
are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure
fasteners used to secure chimney ue line do not penetrate the
inner liner.
NOTES:
1. Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting method B, shall extend in one continuous section through the
wall pass-through system and the chimney wall, to but not past the inner ue liner face.
2. A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a
oor, or ceiling.

Operation
WOOD STOVE UTILIZATION
The operation of this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with the owner’s manual will void your warranty and is
also against federal regulations. This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efciencies and lower
emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or too green
or freshly cut hardwoods.
DO NOT BURN:
1. Garbage;
2. Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4. Materials containing plastic;
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners,
or asphalt products;
6. Materials containing asbestos;
7. Construction or demolition debris;
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9. Manure or animal remains;
10. Saltwater driftwood or other previously salt water-
saturated materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or
particleboard. The prohibition against burning
these materials does not prohibit the use of re
starters made from paper, cardboard, sawdust,
wax, and similar substances to start a re in an
affected wood heater.
Burning these materials may result in the release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
Deadwood lying on the forest oor should be considered wet and requires full seasoning time. Standing deadwood
can usually be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned. Splitting and stacking wood before it is stored accelerates
the drying time. Storing wood on an elevated surface from the ground and under a cover or covered area from
rain or snow also accelerates the drying time. A good indicator of if the wood is ready to burn is to check the
piece ends. If cracks are radiating in all directions from the center then the wood should be dry enough to burn.
If your wood sizzles in the re, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully cured and should be seasoned
longer.
Do not burn manufactured logs made of wax impregnated sawdust or logs with any
chemical additives. Manufactured logs made of 100% compressed sawdust can be
burned, but be careful burning too much of these logs at the same time. Start with one
manufactured log and see how the stove reacts. You can increase the number of logs
burned at a time but make sure the temperature never rises higher than 475 °F (246 °C) on
a magnetic thermometer for installation on single wall stove pipes or 900 °F (482 °C) on a
probe thermometer for installation on double wall stove pipe. The thermometer should be
placed about 18” (457 mm) above the stove. Higher temperatures can lead to overheat
and damage your stove.
Waste and other ammable materials should not be burned in your stove. Any type of wood may be used in your
stove, but specic varieties have better energy yields than others. Please consult the following table to make the
best possible choice.

It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to use DRY WOOD only in your wood stove. The wood should have dried for 9 to
15 months, such that the humidity content (in weight) is reduced below 20% of the weight of the log. It is very
important to keep in mind that even if the wood has been cut for one, two or even more years, it is not necessarily
dry, if it has been stored in poor conditions. Under extreme conditions, it may rot instead of drying. This point
cannot be overstressed; the vast majority of the problems related to the operation of a wood stove is caused by
the fact that the wood used was too damp or had dried in poor conditions. These problems can be:
- ignition problems
- creosote build-up causing chimney res
- low energy yield
- blackened windows
- incomplete log combustion
Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 6” in diameter should be split. The wood should not be
stored directly on the ground. Air should circulate through the cord. A 24” to 48” air space should be left between
each row of logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location possible. The upper layer of wood should be
protected from the elements but not the sides.
OPERATIONAL TIPS
• Get the appliance hot and establish a good coal bed before adjusting to a low burn rate (this may take 30
minutes or more depending on your wood)
• Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and a high burn rate to increase the stove temperature
• Be considerate of the environment and only burn dry wood
• Burn small, intense res instead of large, slow-burning res when possible
• Learn your appliance’s operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance
Burning unseasoned wet wood only hurts the stove’s efciency and leads to accelerated creosote buildup in
your chimney
TESTING YOUR WOOD
• When the stove is thoroughly warmed, place one piece of split wood (about ve inches in diameter) parallel
to the door on the bed of red embers.
• Keep the air control fully open by pulling on it and close the door. If the piece ignites within 90 seconds from
the time it was placed into the stove, your wood is correctly dried. If ignition takes longer, your wood is damp.
• If your wood hisses and water or vapor escapes at the ends of the piece, your wood is soaked or freshly cut.
Do not use this wood in your stove. Large amounts of creosote could be deposited in your chimney, creating
potential conditions for a chimney re.
TAMPER WARNINGS
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating
instructions in this manual.
THE FIRST FIRES
The fresh paint on your stove needs to be cured to preserve its quality. Once the fuel charge is properly ignited,
only burn small res in your stove for the rst four hours of operation. Never open the air control more than
necessary to achieve a medium burn rate. Make sure that there’s enough air circulation while curing the stove.
The odors could be smelled during the 3 or 4 rst res. Never start your stove outside. You will not be able to see
if you are overheating.
IGNITION
After making sure that the stove air intake controls are fully open (completely pull-out towards you), The top-
down method of re building is recommended for this appliance. After making sure that the stove air intake
controls are fully open (completely pull-out towards you), Place the largest pieces of wood on the bottom, laid
in parallel and close together. Smaller pieces are placed in a second layer, crossways to the rst. The third layer
of still smaller pieces are laid crossways to the second, this time with some spaces between. Then the fourth layer
of loose, small kindling and twisted newspaper sheets tops off the pile. Before igniting the paper and kindling
wood, it is recommended that you warm up the chimney. This is done to avoid backdraft problems often due to
CAUTION: Never alter the damper slide or the adjustment range to increase ring for any reason. Doing so
could result in heater damage and will void your warranty.

negative pressure in the house. If such is the case, open a window slightly near the stove and twist together a few
sheets of newspaper into a torch. Light up this paper torch and hold it as close as possible to the mouth of the
pipe inside the combustion chamber to warm up the chimney. Once the updraft movement is initiated, you are
ready to ignite the stove by lighting the paper and kindling wood inside the combustion chamber.
HEATING
Controlled combustion is the most efcient technique for wood heating because it enables you to select the type
of combustion you want for each given situation. The wood will burn slowly if the woodstove air intake control is
adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber to a minimum. On the other hand, wood will
burn quickly if the air control is adjusted to admit a larger quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber. The air
intake control on your stove is very simple. If you pull on it out completely towards you, it is fully open. If you push
on it until it stops the combustion air is reduced to a minimum. Real operating conditions may give very different
results than those obtained during testing according to the species of wood used, its moisture content, the size
and density of the pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature.
EFFICIENCY
Efciencies can be based on either the lower heating value (LHV) or the higher heating value (HHV) of the fuel.
The lower heating value is when the water leaves the combustion process as a vapor, in the case of woodstoves
the moisture in the wood being burned leaves the stove as a vapor. The higher heating value is when the water
leaves the combustion process completely condensed. In the case of woodstoves, this would assume the
exhaust gases are room temperature when leaving the system, and therefore calculations using this heating
value consider the heat going up the chimney as lost energy. Therefore, efciency calculated using the lower
heating value of wood will be higher than the efciency calculated using the higher heating value. In the United
States, all woodstove efciencies should be calculated using the higher heating value.
The best way to achieve optimum efciencies is to learn the burning characteristic of this appliance and burn
well-seasoned wood. Higher burn rates are not always the best heating burn rates; after a good re is established
a lower burn rate may be a better option for efcient heating. A lower burn rate slows the ow of usable heat out
of the home through the chimney, and it also consumes less wood.
VISIBLE SMOKE
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be an effective method of determining how efciently the
combustion process is taking place in the given settings. Visible smoke consists of unburned fuel and moisture
leaving your stove. Learn to adjust the air settings of your specic unit to produce the smallest amount of visible
smoke. Wood that has not been seasoned properly and has a high wood moisture content will produce excess
visible smoke and burn poorly.
Primary Air Settings
(Slide Damper is located in center of stove under hearth
plate)
(Damper Adjustment: Pulling out on damper increases air)
Electric Blower Speed Setting (Variable)
(Blower is on High when turned “ON”, Rotate clockwise
until stop for “LOW”.)
Burn Rate Adjust Damper from fully closed Burn Time Blower Speed
Low closed @ 30 minutes Low
Medium - Low approx. 1” (26 mm) @ 30 minutes Low
Medium - High approx. 1.75” (45 mm) @ 30 minutes Low
High approx. 2.3” (59 mm) Always On High
WARNINGS:
• NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR STOVE. IF ANY PART OF THE STOVE STARTS TO GLOW RED, OVER FIRING IS HAPPENING.
READJUST THE AIR INTAKE CONTROL AT A LOWER SETTING.
• THE INSTALLATION OF A LOG CRADLE OR GRATES IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN YOUR WOOD STOVE. BUILD FIRE
DIRECTLY ON FIREBRICK.
• NEVER PUT WOOD ABOVE THE FIREBRICK LINING OF THE FIREBOX.
• ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT IN
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATER.

RELOADING
Once you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. To do so, open the air controls to
maximum a few seconds before opening the stove’s door. Then proceed by opening the door very slowly; open
it one or two inches for 5 to 10 seconds, before opening it completely to increase the draft and thus eliminate
the smoke which is stagnant in a state of slow combustion in the stove. Then bring the red embers to the front of
the stove and reload the unit. For optimal operation of your wood stove, we recommend you to operate it with
a wood load approximately equivalent to the height of re bricks. It is important to note that wood combustion
consumes ambient oxygen in the room. In the case of negative pressure, it is a good idea to allow fresh air in the
room, either by opening a window slightly or by installing a fresh air intake system on an outside wall.
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 ue of a slow-burning re. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely high temper re.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating
season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated (3 mm or more), it should
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re.
We strongly recommend that you install a magnetic thermometer on your smoke exhaust pipe, approximately
18” above the stove. This thermometer will indicate the temperature of your gas exhaust fumes within the smoke
exhaust system. The ideal temperature for these gases is somewhere between 275°F and 500°F. Below these
temperatures, the build-up of creosote is promoted. Above 500°F, heat is wasted since a too large quantity is lost
into the atmosphere.
TO PREVENT CREOSOTE BUILD UP
• Always burn dry wood. This allows clean burns and higher chimney temperatures, therefore less creosote
deposit.
• Leave the air control fully open for about 5 min. every time you reload the stove to bring it back to proper
operating temperatures. The secondary combustion can only take place if the rebox is hot enough.
• Always check for creosote deposit once every two months and have your chimney cleaned at least once a
year.
If a chimney or creosote re occurs, close all dampers immediately. Wait for the re to go out and the heater
to cool, then inspect the chimney for damage. If no damage results, perform a chimney cleaning to ensure no
more creosote deposits is remaining in the chimney.
ASH DISPOSAL
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your rebox or ash pan, and when the re has burned down and cooled,
remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the rebox bottom to help maintain a hot
charcoal bed. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-tting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a non-combustible oor or the ground, away from all combustible materials, pending nal
disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
CAUTIONS:
• ASHES COULD CONTAIN HOT EMBERS EVEN AFTER TWO DAYS WITHOUT OPERATING THE STOVE.
• THE ASH PAN CAN BECOME VERY HOT. WEAR GLOVES TO PREVENT INJURY.
• NEVER BURN THE STOVE WITH THE ASH TRAP OPEN. THIS WOULD RESULT IN OVER FIRING THE STOVE. DAMAGE
TO THE STOVE AND EVEN HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
ATTENTION:
This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper operation. It is against federal regulations to
operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.

Maintenance
Your wood stove is a high-efciency stove and therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform
a visual inspection of the stove every time it is emptied, to ensure that no parts have been damaged, in which
case repairs must be performed immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe periodically
for creosote build-up or obstructions.
AIR TUBES
The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to provide an accurate mix of secondary air to ensure the
highest efciency. Any damage or deterioration of these tubes may reduce the efciency of combustion. The air
tubes are held in position by screws or snap pins. Locate these to either side of the tube and remove it to allow
the tube to be removed and replaced.
SECONDARY AIR TUBES
The secondary air tubes must be cleaned with a wire brush. If debris remains in holes lightly tap with a wooden
stick to remove.
GLASS
• Inspect and clean the glass regularly to detect any cracks. If you spot one, turn the stove off immediately. Do
not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the stove if the glass is broken.
• If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with the glass supplied from your heater dealer. Never substitute
other materials for the glass.
• To replace the glass, remove the screws retaining the glass moldings inside the door. Remove the moldings
and replace the damaged piece with a new one. Perform the procedure backward after replacing it. When
replacing the glass, you should change the glass gasket to make sure you keep it sealed.
• Never wash the glass with a product that may scratch. Use a specialized product, available in the stores where
wood stoves are sold. The glass should be washed only when cold.
PAINT
Only clean your stove with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the paint nish. If the paint becomes scratched or
damaged, it is possible to give your wood stove a brand new look, by repainting it with a 1200° F heat resistant
paint. For this purpose, simply scrub the surface to be repainted with ne sandpaper, clean it properly, and apply
thin coats (2) of paint successively.
SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when
exposed to elevated concentrations for extended periods. While the modern combustion systems in heaters
drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or conned areas
can be dangerous. Make sure your stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order and sealing
properly to ensure unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke and CO monitors in areas
having the potential to generate CO.
BLOWER (IF EQUIPPED)
The blower needs to be removed and air-blown clean. Make sure the blades do not have build up.
FIREBRICK (IF EQUIPPED)
The rebrick should be cleaned and inspected as necessary. Replace any damaged or broken brick.
GASKETING
This unit’s door uses a 5/8” diameter rope gasket. It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which
makes your stove door air tight) once a year, in order to ensure good control over the combustion, maximum
efciency and security. To change the door gasket, simply remove the damaged one. Carefully clean the
available gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this purpose, and install the new gasket. You
may light up your stove again approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation.
WARNING:
NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITHOUT A GASKET OR WITH A BROKEN ONE. DAMAGE TO THE STOVE OR EVEN
HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
