INSTALLATION
SAFETY NOTICE
If this stove is not properly installed, a house re may result. To reduce the risk of re, follow the installation
instructions.
Consult your municipal building department or re ofcials 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 uid, or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up” a re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
In the event of a chimney re, push the air control full closed to deprive the re of oxygen. Call the re
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.
-6-
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 1.03. If
there is a horizontal section of chimney connector, the oor protector should go under it and 2 inches beyond
each side To calculate R-Values for alternative methods, see “Alternate Floor Protector Calculations” section in
this manual.
The oor protector should exceed the stove as follows:
Dimension Inch mm
H ** Front 16 635
J** Left 6 153
K** Right 6 153
L** Back 1 25
M Total Width 46 1169
N Total Length 53.5 1359
* Canadian installations require 18” (457mm)
** Canadian installations require 8” (203mm)
-7-
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 backpufng 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.
-9-
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 specications. Take into account the chimney’s
location to insure 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 is important that it 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 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 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.
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.
-10-
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.
-11-
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.
-12-
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.

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. Mobile Home Installations
2. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke rollout occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or
not there is combustion present.
3. 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.
4. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.
5. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight tting windows and/or has any powered
devices that exhaust house air.
6. There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.
7. 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 oor, 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 standards; 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. Use the mobile home leg fasteners to
secure the unit to the oor.

WOODSTOVE UTILIZATION
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 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. 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 in order to make the best possible choice.
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.
-15-
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 Warning
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 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.
When you have achieved a good bed of hot embers, we recommend the following burn procedures:
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 1/4” (6.3mm) @ 30 minutes Low
Medium - Low 3/8” (9.5mm) @ 30 minutes Low
Medium - High 1/2” (12.7mm) @ 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.
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 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. Refer
to the primary air settings table for damper operation setting. 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.

WARNINGS
Never overre your stove. If any part of the stove starts to glow red, over ring 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 re directly on
rebrick.
Never put wood above the rebrick lining of the rebox.
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specications can result in permanent
damage to the heater.
EFFICIENCIES
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 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, efciency calculated using the lower heating value of
wood will be higher than 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 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 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.
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be an effective method of determining how efciently 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 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.
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 efciency and leads to accelerated creosote buildup in
your chimney
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.
-17-
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 noncombustible 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.
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 conned
areas can be dangerous. Make sure you 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.
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 ring the stove. Damage to the stove
and even house re may result.
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, 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 buildup or obstructions.
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.
-18-
GASKETING
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 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. This unit’s door uses a 1/2” diameter rope gasket.
AIR TUBES
The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to provide an accurate mix of secondary air to insure 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 either screws or snap pins. Locate these to either side of the tube and remove to
allow the tube to be removed and replaced.
PAINT
Remember to only clean your stove with a dry soft cloth that will not harm the stoves nish.
Your stove has two types of coatings that are used in the nal nish; porcelain enamel and high temperature
stove paint.
ENAMEL REPAIR
The porcelain enamel nish will maintain its color and luster for the life of the stove. However, because it is glass
it may chip if hit with a hard or sharp object. If you experience a scratch or chip in the porcelain enamel nish,
specially formulated gloss touch up paint can be used. Contact you stove dealer to request a small bottle of this
touch up paint.
1. Ensure the stove is cool.
Note: The paint may be applied to a warm stove, but the temperature of the section to be painted should be
below the boiling temperature
2. (200°F) to achieve a smooth nish.
3. The area should be built up with multiple thin coats.
Note: Better results are obtained if the stove is brought up to operational temperatures between coats.
HIGH TEMPERATURE STOVE PAINT REPAIR
If the painted portions of your stove need re coating it is possible to give those pieces a brand new look by
repainting it with a 1200°F heat resistant stove paint.
1. Scrub the surface to be repainted with ne sand paper.
2. Clean it properly.
3. Apply thin coats (2-3) of paint successively.
AIR TUBES
The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to provide an accurate mix of secondary air to insure 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 either screws or snap pins. Locate these to either side of the tube and remove to
allow the tube to be removed and replaced.
During the curing process there are changes in the paint causing it to give off an odor and some visible
smoke. The fumes are non-toxic, but can be unpleasant. Ventilate and vacate the room to avoid discomfort.
Once the curing is complete there will be no odor or smoke. After re-coating portions of your stove
remember to follow the curing process as discussed in the rst re section of this manual.
CAUTION: 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.
WARNING:
Never operate the stove without a gasket or with a broken one. Damage to the stove or even house re
may result.
