Cooking Surface Lift handle installation:
Insert the lift handle through the left side shelf bracket and
secure it to the cooking surface with the screw and locknut
provided. (See figure 6).
Installation:
Be sure to read the sections on clearances, floor protection,
and chimneys before actively starting the installation.
Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and
installation in your area.
Clearances:
A woodburning stove radiates heat in all directions. Heat
directed toward living areas in front of the stove is usually
very welcome. However, heat radiating in other directions
will not be as welcome if it results in overheating nearby
walls, ceilings and floors.
An important part of planning a safe installation is to be
sure that combustible material located near your stove
does not overheat. Clearance is the distance between your
stove and stovepipe and nearby walls, ceilings, and floors.
If there is adequate clearance, then the nearby surfaces will
not overheat.
The clearance distance should be empty except for non-
combustible heat shields. Air flowing between the stove and
stovepipe and nearby surfaces carries away heat. Do not
fill the empty space with any insulating material.
Be aware that as wood is exposed to continuous heat it
dries out, eventually lowering the temperature at which it
will start on fire. Maintain the clearances outlined in this
manual, particularly with respect to nearby combustible
surfaces.
Your Heartland cookstove has been tested for safe opera
-
tion providing that these guidelines are followed.
An optional heat shield kit is available for our woodstoves
for reduced clearances. See page 13 on "Heat Shield Kit"
