FUEL
THIS WOODSTOVE IS FOR USE WITH SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY. 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 trash, garbage, plastics, gift wrappings, coal, charcoal, naphtha, engine oil, chemical cleaners, chemical fire
starters, treated or painted wood, saltwater driftwood, railroad ties, plywood, particle board or materials soaked in
flammable liquids. Do not burn sawdust, wood shavings or chips in this woodstove. Using saltwater driftwood damages
the firebox. Any indication of saltwater driftwood use will void the manufacturers warranty.
Seasoned wood is the best choice for a Blaze King Catalytic Stove. Dry, seasoned wood will burn cleaner and produce
less creosote. Store wood in a dry area and away from a combustion source.
The wood for these stoves should be cut to lengths that are not more than 16" long.
CAUTION: Do not store wood fuel inside clearance areas for even a short period of time.
ELECTRICAL POWER
If the optional fans are installed, connect this unit to a properly grounded, 110-volt electrical outlet. Do not route the
power in front of, or under, the stove.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Do not store other waste in the ash container. Ashes should never be placed in wooden or plastic containers, or in paper
or plastic bags, no matter how long the fire has been out. Coals have been known to stay hot for several days when
embedded in ashes
LOADING DOOR
Do not operate your stove with the loading door open. This stove is not designed or intended to be operated with the
loading door open. Do not leave your stove unattended when the loading door is not tightly closed, such as when starting
a fire. Leaving the loading door open AFTER the fire is well started can cause overheating of the stove. Such
overheating can cause the stove to warp. Check the loading door gasket for deterioration at least twice each heating
season. Inspect the gasket for physical deterioration, missing sections, or obvious leakage. To check the gasket further,
wait for your stove to cool, insert a piece of paper into the door opening and close and latch the door. Obvious resistance
should be felt when pulling the paper out. Repeat this check several times around the perimeter of the door.
Safety
WARNING
REMOVE ASHES ONLY WHEN THEY ARE COLD. NEVER STORE HOT ASHES IN A GARAGE OR
BASEMENT. HOT ASHES WILL GENERATE CARBON MONOXIDE AND/OR FLAMMABLE GASES.
THESE GASES MAY CAUSE SUFFOCATION.
