NEVER CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Installation and repair of this stove should be done
by a qualified service person. We recommend that the
stove be inspected before use and at least annually by
a qualified service person. Periodic cleaning is required
throughout the heating season and at the end of each
winter for the stove to work efficiently.
DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT
OR SYSTEM.
SPECIAL NOTE:
DUE TO ASH BUILDUP, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
TO HAVE YOUR STOVE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED
AND SERVICED ANNUALLY. THIS INCLUDES ALL
PARTS OF THE STOVE, AND THE VENTING SYSTEM.
Carbon monoxide, referred to as CO, is a colorless,
odorless gas that is produced during combustion of wood
and other fuels.
CO fumes are toxic and can be fatal.
The Oakleaf is a natural draft system which relies on
a properly designed chimney to remove CO and other
combustion by-products from the stove.
Even though this stove is designed to be as safe as
possible, it is important that you
install a CO detector.
This is true for oil, gas, or coal burning products as well.
CO is not specifically heavier or lighter than air. Therefore,
it is best to install the detector at table top level rather than
on the ceiling like a smoke detector.
Never use gasoline, 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.
IF INSTALLING ON A COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR, THE
BOTTOM HEAT SHIELD MUST BE INSTALLED ALONG
wITH PROPER FLOOR PROTECTION MATERIAL.

Special warnings and Notes
CO detectors are very sensitive and may sound an alarm
for fumes other than CO or CO from sources other than the
stove such as car or lawn mower exhaust.
If the alarm sounds
1. Increase ventilation by opening windows or doors.
2. Make sure the stove doors and lid are closed and latched.
3. Check stove for smoking or puffing condition. Open by-
pass and increase air-flow to firebox, if needed.
4. Check chimney for possible blockage or down-draft.
5. Check for false alarm.
