A masonry chimney that is damaged should be repaired or rebuilt. Contact your Fire Department for
further advice. Your family should have a prearranged plan so that each person will know what to do
and will act immediately if such an emergency arises.
BUILDING AND FIRE CODES, PERMITS, AND INSPECTIONS.
The installation of this woodstove must comply with your local building and fire codes.
Always
contact your local Building Inspector and/or Fire Department before beginning the installation
process. If required, obtain a permit before installation and have the completed installation inspected.
CHILDREN
Do not allow children to play near the stove or with the operating knobs. Severe burns may be
inflicted by touching some of the parts of the stove and by opening the loading door. Train children to
stay away from the stove and never leave children unattended in the room when the stove is in
operation.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
For a safe installation, proper clearances to combustible materials must be observed (FIGURE 3 ).
Failure to follow these guidelines voids the certification and warranty, is illegal, and can result in a fire
causing property damage, injury, or death.
Keep combustible (burnable) materials at least as far away from the woodstove as indicated in Figure
3.
Combustible materials include items such as plasterboard or wood-paneled walls, furniture, wooden
mantels, bookshelves, carpets and drapes.
Firewood should not be stored within the specified
clearances.
Maintain the designated clearance distance to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney.
There must be the designated air space clearance around the chimney. This air space around a
chimney is necessary to allow natural heat removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause
a heat buildup which may ignite wood framing.
FUEL
USE SOLID FUEL ONLY IN THIS WOODSTOVE. DO NOT BURN COAL. 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.
Do not burn materials soaked in flammable liquids, trash, garbage, plastics, gift wrappings, coal,
charcoal, naphtha, engine oil, chemical cleaners, chemical fire starters, treated or painted wood,
saltwater drift wood, railroad ties, plywood, particle board. Do not burn sawdust, wood shavings or
chips in this woodstove.
