NFORMATION
Read and understand this Owner's Manual
thoroughly before installing and using this
stove.
Make sure to install your stove:
According to the manufacturer's
recommendations,
In accordance with all applicable codes, and
With the proper sized chimney.
When using your stove:
Warn children and others of the danger of touching hot,
radiating surfaces of your woodstove. For your additional
safety, you can purchase hearth and stove guards through
your local dealer.
Burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower
emissions result when burning air-dried, seasoned
wood, as compared to green or freshly cut wood.
Use caution when loading firewood into a hot stove.
Keep the front door closed and secured at all times
except when loading wood.
Keep the ash pan tray fully inserted and the handle
tightly latched.
Inspect the stovepipe, chimney connector and
chimney, as recommended.
Follow these safety precautions:
Never
modify this stove in any way.

burn kiln dried, painted or treated wood in this
stove.
Never
burn garbage or trash, colored or glossy paper,
solvents, plywood, artificial logs, cardboard, or
driftwood, in this stove.
Never
burn coal in this stove.
Never
use gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid,
or other flammable fluids to start or invigorate the fire.
These fuels will cause dangerous burning conditions
in the stove. Keep all such materials away from the
stove.
Never
use the stove if the ash pan is open, damaged,
not present, or does not fully seal. The ash pan cover
must be present under the pan to ensure the pan
seals properly.
Never
use a wood grate or other device to elevate the
fire.
Never
allow logs in the firebox to contact with the
glass when the door is closed.

slam the door or use the door to force wood in
to the stove.
Never
over-fire your stove. (See page 21)

put articles of clothing or candles on a hot
stove.

connect the stove to a flue used by another
appliance.
Other safety guidelines:
Keep all combustible items such as furniture, drapes,
clothing, and other items, at least 36" (0.92 m) from
the stove (See page 10)
Install a smoke detector, preferably in an area away
from your wood stove.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy. We recommend the
type rated "A B C."
Dispose of ashes properly. (See page 21)
