IMPORTANT WARNINGS 

 

CAUTION:  PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE YOUR NEW ROOM 
HEATER.  FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUC-
TIONS EXACTLY, WITHOUT DEVIATION.  FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN 
PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.  IF THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, 
A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.  CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS 
AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.

1.  If utilizing an older chimney, it must be in-

spected for adequate serviceability. Refer to the 
heading 

Chimney Inspection

 on page 8 of this 

manual. 

2.  The minimum clearances must be maintained 

for all combustible surfaces and materials in-
cluding; furniture, carpet, drapes, clothing, 
wood, papers, etc. Do not store firewood within 
this clearance space.  Failure to maintain clear-
ances to all combustibles may result in a house 
fire. 

3.  This appliance requires non-combustible floor 

protection as outlined in this manual (see 

Floor 

Protection 

on page 6

 

for additional information). 

4.  Minimum ceiling height must be 7 feet (213 cm) 

(measured from base of appliance to ceiling). 

5.  DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY 

FLUE CONNECTED TO ANOTHER APPLIANCE. 

6.  Do not connect this appliance to air ducts or 

any air distribution system. 

7.  PREVENT CREOSOTE FIRE: Inspect and clean 

chimney frequently. Under certain conditions of 
use, creosote buildup may occur rapidly. In-
spect chimney connector and chimney twice 
monthly and clean if necessary. Using green or 
inadequately seasoned wood can greatly in-
crease creosote buildup. Use dry wood to mini-
mize creosote buildup. 

8.  USE SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY: This appliance 

is approved for burning dry seasoned natural 
wood only.  CAUTION:  BURN UNTREATED 
WOOD ONLY. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR 
FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, 
NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. 

9.  Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, 

kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liq-
uids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. 
Keep all such liquids well away from the heater 
while it is in use. 

10. DO NOT OVERFIRE: If heater or chimney con-

nector glows, you are overfiring. Overfiring this 
appliance could cause a house fire. Overfiring is 

a condition where the appliance is operated at 
temperatures above its design capabilities. 
Overfiring can be caused by improper installa-
tion, improper operation, lack of maintenance or 
improper fuel usage. Damage caused from over-
firing is NOT covered under the manufacturer’s 
limited warranty. 

11. 

NEVER LEAVE AN UNATTENDED STOVE 
BURNING ON HIGH.  Operation of the stove with 
the primary air control at its highest burn rate 
setting for extended periods can cause danger-
ous overfiring conditions. The primary air con-
trol should only be positioned at the highest 
setting during start-up procedures and for short 
durations. When leaving the stove unattended 
ensure that the primary air control is set to the 
low or medium low range. 

12. Use a metal container with a tight fitting lid to 

dispose of ashes. 

13. IN THE EVENT OF A COMPONENT FAILURE, 

USE ONLY COMPONENTS PROVIDED BY THE 
MANUFACTURER AS REPLACEMENT PARTS. 

14. Burning any kind of fuel uses oxygen from the 

dwelling. Be sure that you allow an adequate 
source of fresh air into the room where the 
stove is operating (see 

Ventilation 

and 

Outside 

Air 

on page 6). 

15. CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. An ap-

pliance hot enough to warm your home can se-
verely burn anyone touching it. Keep children, 
clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause 
skin burns. Do not let children touch the appli-
ance. Train them to stay a safe distance from 
the unit. 

16. Do not operate this appliance without the fire-

box baffle brick properly installed.  

17. Build fires directly upon the brick hearth inside 

the stove. Do not use grates, irons or any other 
method to elevate the fire. 

18.  SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 
19. See the listing label located on the back of 

stove (or see Safety/Listing Label on page 22).
