Preparation and Assembly
CHIMNEY HEIGHT AFFECTS DRAFT
Tall chimneys usually provide a strong, dependable draft. The chimney should be kept warm to enhance the draft. This
will also reduce creosote accumulation caused by smoke and condensation of water vapor. A buildup of creosote can
reduce the draft and will become a potential fire hazard. Chimney tops should NEVER be near trees or other tall objects
that might cause downdrafts. In new homes, or homes that have been weatherized and are very air-tight, exhaust fans,
such as those installed in kitchens and bathrooms, can create a negative pressure in the room and a resulting downdraft
in a chimney, when the fans are operating. Smoke may be drawn into the room, particularly when the loading door is
open while the stove is being loaded. If this problem arises, open a window while the exhaust fan is being used or do not
operate the exhaust fan while reloading the stove. If make-up air (with outside air kit) is NOT supplied, the negative
pressure
may
also draw gases from a gas furnace.
If you have a Forced-air heating system, you can use the furnace fan to circulate air through the house, but DO NOT
connect any ducting between the stove and the heating system ducts or any other air-distribution ducts.
STOVE ASSEMBLY
Remove all items packed in the firebox.
IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO, PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO COMPLETE THE WARRANTY CARD
FOUND IN THE FIREBOX AND MAIL IT TODAY.
PRODUCT INSPECTION
BLAZE KING Stoves are known for their quality materials and construction. However, mistakes occasionally occur.
Inspect all parts for damage due to shipping and to be sure that all needed parts are enclosed. If you discover a part is
missing or damaged, contact your dealer immediately for replacement or repair. Refer to the part number listed on page
42 and the model and serial numbers of your stove (see the tag on the back of the stove).
COMBUSTOR ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION
See page 29 for proper parts names. This stove is generally shipped from the factory with the combustor installed. If the
combustor is not installed, follow the instructions on page 37 under Catalytic Combustor, Replacement, beginning with
Step 6.
FLAME SHIELD, INSTALLATION
The flame shield is a 3/16" stainless steel plate, punched with many 3/8” holes. If the flame shield is shipped in the
firebox or has fallen off during shipping then it must be installed before the first fire. Hold it in the firebox with the
triangular wings facing away. Lift it between the loading door and the catalyst, and rest the bottom of the plate on the two
pins that protrude below the catalyst. The flame shield should rest at an angle (about 45 degrees) with its bottom near
the combustor, and its top near the stove front.
