Definitions
CLOSE CLEARANCE
Installing a stove closer to combustibles by using side or rear shields, fan kits or double wall close clearance connectors
Close clearance connectors must be from the same manufacturer as the listed prefabricated chimney.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
Material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, plastics, or other materials that will ignite and burn, whether
flame proof or not, or whether plastered or un-plastered.
COMBUSTION AIR INTAKE
Located on the back of the stove, on the centerline. Combustion air is drawn into this opening, through the thermostat and into the
firebox. In tight contemporary homes, using outside combustion air may be desirable. Outside combustion air is required in all mobile
home installations.
If national or local codes require it, an OUTSIDE AIR KIT is available from the dealer who sold you the stove.
The outside air inlet hose is a flexible tube which can be bent to take outside air in through the wall or up through the floor. The flexible
tube will allow some adjustment over or around the floor joists or plumbing.
DO NOT CHANGE THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF
THE FLOOR.
This air hose must be kept open at all times to provide outside air for combustion. See page 31.
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 flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the
flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
PREVENT CREOSOTE FIRES:
Inspect Chimney Connector and Chimney TWICE monthly and clean if necessary. If a chimney fire
starts, close the loading door and turn the thermostat to the lowest setting. Call the fire department immediately.
The basic design of this catalyst equipped stove will reduce creosote accumulation to a very low level. However, the frequency of start
-up operations and the temperature at which the stove is operated on a regular basis can affect that accumulation. The inspection
frequency noted above is still a vital step in the safe operation of any wood burning system.
DOOR, LOADING
The door on the front of the stove, with viewing glass installed. This door must be closed and latched tightly whenever the fire is
burning. When cleaning the stove, wait 1/2 hour after the fire is out or until the stove is sufficiently cooled before opening the door.
DRAFT
This appliance may not operate properly if the draft is below .02” of water as measured using a water manometer. Draft below .02” will
cause excessive smoke spillage, incomplete combustion and fire startup problems. Low draft may sometimes be improved by making
a chimney taller, and the use of double wall stove pipe. The use of two 45° degree elbows in place of 90° elbows is recommended.
Exterior chimneys may be too cold to achieve proper draft with these units. If an exterior masonry chimney is being used it should be
lined with a listed stainless steel liner. An external factory built chimney should be enclosed in an insulated chase.
FANS (Optional on KE1107 and PE1006, Standard on KEJ1107 and PEJ1006)
Two variable speed axial fans (105 CFM each). The fans circulate room air across the firebox and back into the home. The fan speed
should be adjusted to match the heat output of the stove. The fans are also controlled by a temperature sensitive switch. The fans will
not start up until the stove reaches operating temperature.
FAN SPEED CONTROL
Located on the (optional) Fan Assembly controls the fan speed. When stove is burning on low, set fans to low. When stove is burning
on high, set fans to high. Adjust fan speed to match, as much as possible, the burn rate of the stove.
FIREBOX, STOVE
Steel, lined with firebrick. The recommended length of log to be used in this firebox is 16" for PE1006 and 18” for KE1107.
FIREPLACE
This stove must not be connected to any type of fireplace.
FLAME SHIELD
The flame shield is a 3/16" stainless steel plate, punched with many 3/8" holes. If the flame shield is shipped in the firebox or has
fallen off during shipping then it must be installed before the first fire. Hold it in the firebox with the triangular wings facing away. Lift it
between the loading door and the catalyst, and rest the bottom of the plate on the two holders that protrude below the catalyst. The
flame shield should rest at an angle (about 45 degrees) with its bottom near the combustor, and its top near the stove front. Do not
operate the stove without the flame shield in position.
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this
stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.
FLOOR PROTECTOR
Noncombustible surfacing applied to the floor area underneath and extending in front, to the sides and to the rear of a heat producing
appliance. Floor protector sizes are shown on page 17.
FLUE
The general term for a passage through which flue gases (smoke) pass from the combustion chamber to the outside air.
FUEL
THIS
STOVE
IS FOR USE WITH SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY.
Do not burn trash, paper, pine branches or artificial fire logs. Such abuse may void the warranty.
