OPERATION

WHY THE CORRECT FLUE SIZE IS IMPORTANT - 6"

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.  An uncontrolled burn or a glowing
red part or chimney connector indicates excessive draft.  Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into
the room and “plugging” of the chimney and/or cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through
appliance and chimney connector joints.

Today’s solid fuel appliances are much more efficient than in the past.  The units are designed to give you
controlled combustion, as well as maximum heat transfer, using less fuel to do so.

The design of your new appliance is such that the exhaust “smoke” is now at lower temperatures than in
the past, therefore requiring proper chimney size to give adequate draft.  If your chimney is too large, the
heating appliance will have a difficult time to raise the “chimney flue” temperature to give adequate draft,
therefore causing a smoke back up, poor burn, or both.

Should you experience such a problem call in a local chimney expert.

With the door closed, the rate of burning is regulated by the amount of air allowed to enter the unit through
the air control.  With experience you will be able to set the control for heat and burning time desired.

Attempts to achieve higher output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result in permanent
damage to the heater.  The recommended wood load is level with the top of the firebricks.  Overloading
may prevent sufficient air entering the heater to properly fuel the fire.

Do not tamper with combustion air control beyond the normal adjustment capacity.

Operate this heater only with the door closed.

OPTIONAL BLOWER: MODEL S31105

120 VOLTS, 60Hz, 0.75 AMPS, 2900 RPM

DANGER:  RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.  DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING UNIT.

IMPORTANT:  FOR OPTIMUM HEATER PERFORMANCE AT “LOW” BURN RATE, OPERATE THE FAN AT LOW SPEED.

ALWAYS PROVIDE A SOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM WHERE THE UNIT IS
INSTALLED.  FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN AIR STARVATION OF OTHER FUEL
BURNING APPLIANCES AND THE POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS.

THIS HEATER IS EXTREMELY HOT WHILE IN OPERATION.  SERIOUS BURNS CAN RESULT
FROM CONTACT.  CAUTION SHOULD BE OBSERVED ESPECIALLY WHEN CHILDREN ARE
PRESENT.
