ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
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
The stove is attached to the shipping pallet with 2 bolts. These bolts are located under the pedestal trim. See
pedestal trim assembly instructions for additional information.
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 efcient 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.
-5-
FLOOR PROTECTOR
Your wood stove should be placed on a 1 inch, non-combustible surface with a
k factor of 0.84. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the
overall R-value. The R value for the required board is 1.2. If there is a horizontal
section of chimney connector, the oor protector should go under it and 2 inches
beyond each side
Convert specication to R-value:
k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R=1/k x T
C-factor is given: R=1/C
Example:
If the oor protector is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral
board with a “k” factor of 0.29 the total R-value of the system is:
4” brick C=1.25, R=1/1.25=0.8
1/8” mineral board K=0.29, R=1/0.29 x 0.125=0.431
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231
Total R is greater than 1.2, the system is acceptable.
The oor protector should exceed the stove as follows:
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 :
• Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7’ (2.13m) in all cases.
• Do not place any combustible material within 4’ (1.2m) 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” (457.2mm).
• To reduce ue clearances from combustible materials, contact your local safety department.

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE)
Your 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 in order to insure there will
be no problem with the draft. The stove pipe must be made of
aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or
0.53 mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel. Your smoke
pipe should be assembled in such a way that the male section
(crimped end) of the pipe faces down. Attach each of the sections
to one 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. You may contact NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and request the latest
edition of the NFPA Standard 211. To insure a good draft, the total length of the coupling pipe should never
exceed 8’ to 10’ (2.4m to 3.04 m). (Except for cases of vertical installation, 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. Installation of a
“barometric draft stabilizer” (replace register) on a smoke exhaust system is prohibited. Furthermore, installation
of a draft damper is not recommended. Indeed, 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 the force which 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. Inadequate draft may cause backpufng into
the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney. 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
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 is
extremely important that it be installed according to
the manufacturer’s specications. Take into account
the chimney’s location to insure it is not too close to
neighbours or in a valley which may cause unhealthy
or nuisance conditions. If you are using a masonry
chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance
with the specications 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 efcient). 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 favours 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.
The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney:
1. Do not connect this unit to a chimney ue serving another appliance.
2. It must rise above the roof at least 3’ (0.9m) from the uppermost point of contact.
3. 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).
4. Installation of an interior chimney is always preferable to an exterior chimney. Indeed, the interior chimney
will, by denition, 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.
5. The draft caused by the tendency for hot air to rise will be increased with an interior chimney.
6. Using a re screen at the extremity of the chimney requires regular inspection in order to insure 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.
-8-
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. Have 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.
-9-
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 Specication 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.
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.
-10-
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
Your wood stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake 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.
For use in MOBILE HOMES (U. S. installations ONLY):
• 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).

WOODSTOVE UTILIZATION
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efciencies and lower emissions generally result when
burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to 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. Salt water 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, saw dust,
wax and similar substances for the purpose of
starting a re in an affected wood heater.
Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
Dead wood lying on the forest oor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing dead
wood can usually be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned. Splitting and stacking wood before it is stored
accelerates drying time. Storing wood on an elevated surface from the ground and under a cover or covered
area from rain or snow also accelerates drying time. A good indicator if wood is ready to burn is to check the
piece ends. If there are cracks 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 to making 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 specic varieties have better energy yields than others. Please consult the following table in
order to make the best possible choice.
-12-
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you 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 over stressed; 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 your stoves efciency 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 full open by pulling on it and close the door. If ignition of the piece is accomplished within
90 seconds from the time if was placed in 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 odours 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 over heating.
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. A third layer
of still smaller pieces is laid crossways to the second, this time with some spaces between. Then a 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
in order to avoid back draft problems often due to 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.
-13-
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.
HEATING
Controlled combustion is the most efcient 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 wood stove 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.

Efciencies 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 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 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, efciency calculated using
the lower heating value of wood will be higher than efciency calculated using the higher heating value. In the
United States all woodstove efciencies should be calculated using the higher heating value.
The best way to achieve optimum efciencies is to learn the burn characteristic of you 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 efcient 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 efciently the
combustion process is taking place at the given settings. Visible smoke consist of unburned fuel and moisture
leaving your stove. Learn to adjust the air settings of your specic 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.
Burn Rate Adjust Damper from fully closed Burn Time Blower Speed
Low 1/32” (1mm) @ 30 minutes Low
Medium - Low 1/16” (1.5mm) @ 30 minutes Low
Medium - High 5/16” (8mm) @ 30 minutes Low
High approx. 3” (76mm) all minutes High
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.
When you have achieved a good bed of hot embers, we recommend the following burn procedures:
-14-
RELOADING
Once you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air
controls to maximum a few seconds prior to 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 hot 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 (3mm 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 degrees, 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 full 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
there is no more creosote deposits 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 on 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.
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 of time. While the modern combustion systems in
heaters drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or
conned areas can be dangerous. Make sure you stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order
and sealing properly to prevent unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke and CO
monitors in areas having the potential to generate CO.
MAINTENANCE
Your wood stove is a high efciency stove and therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform
a visual inspection of the stove every time it is emptied, in order to insure 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 insure the
highest efciency. Any damage or deterioration of these tubes may reduce the efciency of combustion. The
air tubes are held in position by either screws or snap pins. Locate these to either side of the tube and remove
to allow the tube to be removed and replaced.
GLASS
• Inspect and clean the glass regularly in order 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 mouldings inside the door. Remove the
mouldings and replace the damaged piece with a new one. Perform the procedure backwards after
replacing. 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.
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 insure good control over the combustion, maximum
efciency 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.
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 sand paper, clean it properly, and
apply thin coats (2) of paint successively.
