WARNING
PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual describes the installation and operation of the True North, TN10 Freestanding wood heater. This
heater meets the 2020 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's crib wood emission limits for wood heaters sold
after May 15, 2015. Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging
from 13,100 to 17,600 Btu/hr.
NOTE: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS BE INSTALLED IN
THE AREA WHERE THE HEATER IS TO BE INSTALLED.
If smoke detectors have been previously installed, you may notice that they are operating more frequently. This may be
due to curing of stove paint or fumes caused by accidentally leaving the fire door open. Do not disconnect the detectors.
SAFETY NOTICE: If this stove is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the instal-
lation instructions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection require-
ments in you area.
Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to follow instructions may result
in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
