Introducing
Your
Craftsbury Wood Stove
Welcome
to the HearthStone family.
You have made an investment in one of the
finest solid fuel heaters available today. To own
a HearthStone is to make a statement – a
statement that you appreciate exceptional
quality and efficiency in a stove that is backed
by the best warranty in the hearth industry.
Your purchase insures you of years of clean,
comfortable heat with minimal maintenance.
You will receive the benefits of the most
advanced technology in wood burning without
the cost and maintenance requirements of a
catalytic equipped stove. The Craftsbury blends
modern technology with the time tested beauty
of matte or enameled cast iron. We trust that
you will appreciate the value of our handcrafted
product.
Please read this manual in its entirety. Its
purpose is to familiarize you with your stove's
safe installation, proper break-in, operation and
maintenance. It contains information that will
be useful to you now and in years to come, so
keep it handy and refer to it as needed.
Use these instructions as well as national, state,
and local building codes to install your stove.
Be sure to maintain the designated stovepipe
and stove clearances to walls, ceilings, hearth,
and other combustible surfaces. This will help
reduce the risk of fire. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in property damage,
bodily injury, and even death.
Locate your stove in a safe, convenient, open
area; away from traffic flow, doors, and
hallways. At the same time, keep it as close to
the chimney as possible. Review the proper
clearance measurements from combustible
surfaces. You can safely reduce required
clearances in most cases with the rear heat
shield that the stove was tested with and close
clearance pipe, or by following the NFPA 211
codes. Consult with your local authorities
having jurisdiction.
Keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper,
and other combustibles far away from the stove.
Never install the stove in a location where
gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or
other flammable liquids are used or stored.
The walls of a Hearthstone stove produce both
radiant and convective heat. Locate the stove
centrally in your living area to allow the heat to
travel naturally to distant rooms. To heat the
maximum area, do not locate your stove in an
uninsulated basement. The amount of energy
required to heat the concrete basement walls is
so great that most of the usable heat will be
absorbed by the walls and lost.

A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT IF THIS
