CONGRATULATIONS!
You’ve purchased a heater from North America’s oldest manufacturer of wood burning products. By heating with wood
you’re helping to CONSERVE ENERGY! Wood is our only Renewable Energy Resource. Please do your part to pre-
serve our wood supply. Plant at least one tree each year. Future generations will thank you.
The instructions pertaining to the installation of your wood stove comply with UL-1482 and ULC-S628 standards.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. The installation of this appliance must comply with your local
building code rulings.
2. DO NOT INSTALL THIS APPLIANCE IN A MOBILE HOME,
MANUFACTURED HOME, TRAILER OR TENT (NO EXCEP-
TIONS PER HUD FEDERAL STANDARD: 24 CFR CH.XX).
3. Verify that the appliance is properly installed before fi ring for
the fi rst time. This appliance should be installed by a quali fi ed
installer to insure a correct and safe installation. NEVER use
temporary or makeshift compromises during the instal-
lation.
4. If there are any missing or damaged components of the appli-
ance, contact your dealer immediately. DO NOT OPERATE
THIS APPLIANCE WITH MISSING OR DAMAGED PARTS.
5. WARNING: RISK OF FIRE. Observe the minimum clear-
ances to combustibles stated in this manual and on the labels
attached to the appliance.
DO NOT store wood, any type
of fl ammable vapors or liquids, place furniture, rugs,
carpet, clothing or other combustible objects within the
clearance area.
6. DO NOT connect this appliance to any air distribution duct
or system.
7. DO NOT tamper with the combustion air control of this unit
beyond normal adjustment range.
8. Provide adequate combustion air to the room where the ap-
pliance is installed. Restricting combustion air will result in a
lazy
fi re which causes soot or creosote buildup and greatly
reduces ef fi ciency.
9. Always connect this appliance to a chimney that vents to the
outside. Never vent into another room, crawl space, attic,
or inside a building.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
10. DO NOT connect a wood burning appliance to an aluminum
Type B gas vent. This is not safe. Use approved masonry
or a UL 103 HT (U.S.) Listed Residential Type and Building
Heating Appliance Chimney. Use a 6” diameter chimney, that
is high enough to create suf
fi cient draft.
11. Be sure your chimney is safely constructed and in good
repair. Have the chimney inspected by the fi re department
or a quali fi ed inspector. Your insurance company should be
able to recommend a quali fi ed inspector.
12. Creosote or soot may build up in the chimney liner or chimney
and cause a house/building fi re. Inspect the chimney and
chimney liner twice monthly during the heating season and
clean if necessary.
13. In the event of a chimney fi re, turn the air controls to the
closed position, leave the building and CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY!
14. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this appliance
that is not familiar with its correct operation. Do not operate
this appliance while under the in
fl uence of alcohol or drugs.
15. CAUTION: HOT SURFACES. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
DO NOT TOUCH WHILE IN OPERATION. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS
.
16. Children should be alerted to the hazards from high surface
temperatures. Never leave small children unsupervised
when they are in the same room as the appliance during
operation. To prevent burns, always wear protective clothing,
leather hearth gloves, and eye protection when refueling or
fi re maintenance. Always be aware of heated surfaces. Heat
radiating from the appliance can potentially discolor, melt,
or even ignite combustible materials.
KEEP ALL COMBUS-
TIBLE MATERIALS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER!
17. WARNING: RISK OF FIRE. Keep the feed door tightly closed
at all times except when tending the fi re.
18. DO NOT over fi re this appliance. Over fi ring will occur if the
feed door is left open during operation. If any part of the
appliance glows, you are over
fi ring. Adjust air controls to a
lower setting to slow down the fi re.
19. DO NOT ELEVATE THE FIRE! Build the fi re directly on the
fi rebrick. This appliance has not been tested with the use of
any means to elevate the fi re and it should not be attempted.
20. Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate more than two
to three inches in the fi rebox.
21. The paint on your appliance is durable but will not stand rough
handling or abuse. The paint used may give off smoke and/or
an odor during the
fi rst few fi res. This will occur until the paint
has cured. Animals / people with lung problems should not
be present during the curing process. Build small
fi res at fi rst
to help this process and open windows and doors as needed
to clear the smoke and odor. If the appliance is over
fi red,
the paint will discolor. When installing your unit, take care
in handling. Clean with soap and water when the appliance
is not in use. Do not use any acids, abrasive cleaners or
scouring soap as these solvents wear and dull the
fi nish.
22. DO NOT ROUTE THE BLOWER POWER SUPPLY CORD
NEAR OR ACROSS HOT SURFACES!
23. Canada Installations requires that this fi replace must be
installed with a continuous chimney liner of 6 inch diameter
extending from the
fi replace insert to the top of the chimney.
The chimney liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements
of CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Exist-
ing Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys and Vents, or CAN/
ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry
Chimneys.
24. Permanently seal any opening between the masonry of the
fi replace and the facing masonry.
25. Fireplace insert surround panels may be removed to inspect
fi replace insert and fi replace.
26. U.S. Stove Company requires installing smoke detectors in
the same room as the heater if not already installed. Smoke
expelled from the unit by either paint curing, opening the fuel
loading door, or a negative pressure inside the home could
trigger the smoke detectors.
