OPTIONAL 12 VOLT BATTERY BACK-UP
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER CORD DURING ANY ELECTRICAL OPERATION
Note: Never use an unsealed battery.
1. Disconnect the 110 volt AC power before connecting the 12 volt battery.
2. Determine the location for the 12 volt battery and obtain the proper length and type of wire (Use 18
gauge stranded wire)
3. Drill and install 1/2” conduit where passing through a wall or floor.
4. Connect a red 18 gauge wire to red positive (+) battery terminal on the stove.
5. Install a 4 amp inline fuse on the red positive wire near the stove.
6. Connect a black 18 gauge wire to black negative (-) battery terminal on the stove.
7. Pass wire through the conduit to battery location. Allow enough wire length between battery box and
exterior wall for a drip loop to prevent moisture from reaching terminals. (see diagram)
8. Connect the red positive (+) lead to the positive (+) battery terminal.
9. Connect the black negative (-) lead to the negative (-) battery terminal.
10. Reconnect the 110 volt AC power. The stove is now ready for 12 volt back-up and will switch
automatically to 12 volt operation when AC power is lost. When AC power is restored, the stove will
automatically switch back to AC power and recharge the battery.
NOTE: THE SELF IGNITER WILL NOT START THE STOVE IN THE DC POWER MODE.
