Safety
ELECTRICAL POWER
If the optional fans are installed, connect this unit to a properly grounded, 110-volt electrical outlet. Do not route the
power in front of, or under, the stove.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Do not store other waste in the ash container. Ashes should never be placed in wooden or plastic containers, or in paper
or plastic bags, no matter how long the fire has been out. Coals have been known to stay hot for several days when
embedded in ashes
LOADING DOOR
Do not operate your stove with the loading door open. This stove is not designed or intended to be operated with the
loading door open. Do not leave your stove unattended when the loading door is not tightly closed, such as when starting
a fire. Leaving the loading door open AFTER the fire is well started can cause overheating of the stove. Such
overheating can cause the stove to warp. Check the loading door gasket for deterioration at least twice each heating
season. Inspect the gasket for physical deterioration missing sections or obvious leakage. To check the gasket further,
wait for your stove to cool, insert a piece of paper into the door opening and close and latch the door. Obvious resistance
should be felt when pulling the paper out. Repeat this check several times around the perimeter of the door.
To tighten the gasket, use a 9/16” wrench to loosen retainer nut and rotate latch catch 360 degrees clockwise (see figure
below). Secure retainer nut and repeat paper test.
DO NOT FORCE THE LATCH CATCH TO TURN. Use penetrating oil if necessary to make turning easier
WARNING
REMOVE ASHES ONLY WHEN THEY ARE COLD. NEVER STORE HOT ASHES IN A
GARAGE OR BASEMENT. HOT ASHES WILL GENERATE CARBON MONOXIDE AND/OR
FLAMMABLE GASES. THESE GASES MAY CAUSE SUFFOCATION.
