OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.
Never overfire this stove by building excessively hot fires as a house/ building fire may result. You are overfiring
the stove if unit or stovepipe begins to glow or turn red.
2.
Never build extremely large fires in this type of stove as damage to the stove or smoke leakage may result
3.
Do not build fire too close to glass.
4.
Unit is hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. Do
not touch the stove after firing until it has cooled.
5. Provide air into the room for proper combustion.
6.
Inspect stovepipe every 60 days. Replace immediately if stovepipe is rusting or leaking smoke into the room.
7.
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result in permanent
damage to the heater.
THIS STOVE IS DESIGNED TO BURN NATURAL WOOD FUEL ONLY!
Hardwood, 18”/46cm to 26”/66cm must be air dried (seasoned) for a minimum of 6 months. Logs greater than
6”/152mm in diameter should be split. Wood should be stored in a dry, well ventilated area. The humidity content
for usable firewood must be less than 20% of the weight of the log. This heater is designed to burn wood only. Higher
efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to
softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Attempts to use wet or unseasoned wood will cause:
- ignition problems
- rapid creosote build-up resulting in chimney fire
- incomplete combustion
- low heat yield
- blackened glass
DO NOT BURN:
1. Garbage;
2.
Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3.
Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4.
Materials containing plastic;
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners,
or asphalt products;
6.
Materials containing asbestos;
7. Construction or demolition debris;
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9.
Manure or animal remains;
10.
Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water
saturated materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12.
Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or
particleboard. The prohibition against burning
these materials does not prohibit the use of fire
starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust,
wax and similar substances for the purpose of
starting a fire in an affected wood heater.
Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
Dead wood lying on the forest floor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing dead
wood can usually be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned. Splitting and stacking wood before it is stored
accelerates drying time. Storing wood on an elevated surface from the ground and under a cover or covered
area from rain or snow also accelerates drying time. A good indicator if wood is ready to burn is to check the
piece ends. If there are cracks radiating in all directions from the center then the wood should be dry enough
to burn. If your wood sizzles in the fire, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully cured, and should be
seasoned longer.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: HOUSE FIRE HAZARDS
• Do not store wood on floor protector, underneath stovepipe or anywhere within minimum clearances from
combustible surfaces specified for this stove.
• Overfiring may cause a house fire. You are overfiring if a unit or chimney connector glows red.
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Never use chemicals, gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar
flammable liquids to start or “freshen-up” a fire in the stove.
• Keep all flammable liquids, especially gasoline, out of the vicinity of the stove whether in use or in storage.
