fastened piping may come apart causing an extreme fire and smoke hazard. Assure that
the chimney connections pipe extend at least 2 inches into the chimney, but does not
extend so far into the chimney flue that it blocks air flow. Where the pipe connects to a
masonry chimney, it must be cemented to the chimney, or a thimble must be connected to
the chimney and the pipe should be tightly inserted into the thimble without cement.
OPERATION YOUR E-Z FLO HEATER
CAUTION: USE ONLY THE TYPE OF FUEL SPECIFIED HERE AND ON
THE HEATER
Type of fuel for use in these units is either anthracite or bituminous coal. Nut size
or pea size are the recommended size of anthracite to use in this unit. Caution should be
used when burning pea coal as shaking the grates too far can cause the small coal to be
dumped into the ash pan thus wasting your coal. The Model 30-95, which has a
removable hopper, will also burn bituminous coal when hopper is removed. Never place
bituminous coal in the hopper. Bituminous coal does not work in the hopper feed system.
It is too volatile and will burn up into the hopper possibly overheating the stove and
ruining the hopper. Burning bituminous coal in the hopper will void your warranty.
Never burn it with your ash door open. This will void your warranty. Your stove will
burn out of control, causing damage to your stove and possibly to your home.
Kindling and small pieces of wood are required to use for igniting your coal when
starting your fire.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START FIRE.
NEVER USE GASOLINE OR KEROSENE OR ANY OTHER FLAMMABLE
FLUID WHEN STARTING OR REFRESHING YOUR FIRE. DO NOT BURN
GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.
NOTE: When your first fire your heater, the exterior paint will go through a curing
process. This
may emit some smoke or odor. The first few fires should be small and
slow, this allows the paint to cure and the steel to temper. Adequate room ventilation
should be used in case of smoking.
NOTE: Keep ash door, glass fuel door, and hopper lid closed and sealed during
operation. Keeping any door open during operation may cause your appliance to over
heat and possibly result in damage to your appliance or a house fire. Operating this
appliance with doors open can result in carbon monoxide entering the house. Adequate
room ventilation is also necessary for the chimney to operate correctly. Room air
starvation can be caused by well-sealed vapor barrier and tight windows, exhaust fans, or
other chimney ventilated appliances. Room air starvation can cause your appliance to not
draw steadily, smoke rollout to occur, fuel to burn poorly, or back-drafts to occur whether
or not there is combustion present. It can also result in carbon monoxide not venting
properly or entering the house. Outside combustion air may be required. It is a very good
idea to install a carbon monoxide detector no matter what type of fuel you burn and what
