Warnings
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result
when burning air dried, seasoned hardwood, as compared to softwood or green or freshly cut hardwoods.
DO NOT BURN
Treated wood
Colored paper
Garbage
Cardboard
Solvents
Coal
Trash
Burning treated wood, garbage, solvents, colored paper or trash may result in release of toxic fumes and
may poison or render ineffective the catalytic combustor.
Burning coal, cardboard, or loose paper can produce soot, or large flakes of char or fly ash that can coat
the combustor, causing smoke spillage into the room, and rendering the combustor ineffective.
Backpuffing – Smoke from closed fuel
door
If smoke enters the room when the fireplace door
is closed, check for the following causes:
1. Proper draft has not had time to establish.
Open draft control.
2. Blockage in the fireplace, stovepipe or
chimney.
3. Leaks in the chimney.
4. Cold outside chimney.
5. Chimney is too short.
6. Chimney is too close to trees or a nearby high
roof.
Overfire
Never operate the unit with fuel door or
ash pan open.
Do not overfire. Using flammable liquids, too
much wood, or burning trash in the fireplace,
may result in overfiring. If the chimney connector
or fireplace glows red or even worse, white, the
stove is overfired. This condition may ignite
creosote in the chimney, possibly causing a
house fire.
If you overfire, immediately close the fireplace
damper and doors to reduce the air supply to the
fire. Call the Fire Department immediately. DO
NOT OPERATE THE STOVE AGAIN UNTIL IT
IS DETERMINED THAT THE CHIMNEY AND
ITS LINING HAVE NOT BEEN DAMAGED AND
ARE SAFE.
