13.Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood. Use a moisture meter to determine that your wood fuel contains 20%
moisture content or less.
!
14.Ashes should always be placed in a steel container with a tight fitting lid, and the container placed on a non-
combustible surface or on bare ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
!
15.As with any wood stove heater, inspect your chimney at least once a month during the heating season for
creosote buildup. Any accumulation over 1/8-inch (3 mm) should be removed by a professional chimney
sweep. Do not attempt to “burn out” heavy accumulations of creosote with a hot fire as this can cause a
house fire, damage to the chimney system, injury, or even death. If the chimney requires frequent cleaning,
you should re-evaluate your burning techniques. We are happy to assist with questions. Call 1-855-872-7868
or email [email protected], or contact your authorized Kimberly™ dealer.
!
16.Check gaskets periodically and replace as necessary. Test the tightness of a gasket seal by closing the door
on a dollar bill. If the dollar bill pulls out easily, the seal is not tight and the gasket should be replaced. Repeat
this test in several locations along the parameter of the door to be sure that the seal is consistently tight.

DON’TS
!
1. Do not allow anyone to operate the Kimberly™ wood stove heater who is not well familiar with the operating
instructions unique to this stove.
!
2. Do not operate the Kimberly™ wood stove heater near combustibles. The outside surface of the stove will be
very hot when in use, and could be a source of ignition. Be sure to keep all furnishings, such as drapes and
other flammable items, away from the stove. Extreme caution must be used when drying clothing or other
items near the stove, as they could fall and ignite.
!
3. Do not use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up” a fire. They can ignite with explosive force and cause injury or death.
!
4. Do not store flammables anywhere near the Kimberly™ wood stove heater.
!
5. Do not use the Kimberly ™ wood stove heater if there are combustible gases in the house, such as propane
leaks, or volatile fumes from adhesives, paints, or cleaning fluids.
!
6. Do not burn trash in the Kimberly™ wood stove heater.
!
7. Do not operate the Kimberly™ wood stove heater without the grate/ash dump cover seated firmly in place.
Doing so can cause a run-away fire. When tested, the grate/ash dump cover should not rock back and forth.
!
8. Always test the damper/draft control after replacing the grate/ash dump cover. If the damper/draft control
does not work properly, there may be unseen debris under the grate/ash dump cover, allowing excessive air
into the burn chamber and interfering with secondary combustion. Should this occur, stop the fire and re-
clean the firebox.
!
9. Do not touch the Kimberly™ wood stove heater while it is burning, except to reload fuel or adjust the
damper/draft control. Use extreme caution while the Kimberly™ is in use. Surface temperatures become
extremely hot and can cause severe burns.
!
10.Do not operate the Kimberly™ wood stove heater with the door open. Not only will the Kimberly™ wood
stove heater fail to achieve secondary combustion and not operate properly, but potential for stray embers to
leave the combustion chamber is a safety hazard.
!
11. Do not operate the Kimberly™ wood stove heater with cracked or broken glass. Pre-cut replacement
Neoceram™ glass-ceramic windows are available for purchase from Unforgettable Fire™. Call
1-855-872-7868 or email [email protected] for purchase information, or contact your
