Introducing Your
Bennington Wood Stove
Congratulations! You have just invested in a most unique
wood burning stove – the Bennington Wood Burning
Stove from HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products
Inc®. The Bennington Model -8350 is a clean burning
EPA certified, non-catalytic wood burning stove. At 2.5
cubic feet capacity and 3.5 grams per hour particulate you
can be proud to join the HearthStone family with our
Premier
Cast Iron Wood Burning Stove. The generous
depth allows for loading of wood through the front door
up to 19 inches long, and the side door allows for wood
up to 22 inches long!
Unlike mo st Cast Iron Wood Stoves, your Bennington
Wood Stove is a convective stove with the outer walls
separated from the firebox by an air space. You will get
“convective” air currents through your stove, which
reduces surface temperatures while providing more heat.
The Bennington is the only cast iron, convective heater
with a 12-pound cast iron heat exchanger.
Your purchase insures 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
stove. The Bennington blends modern technology with
the unique beauty of cast iron. We trust that you will
appreciate the quality 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; and near a
chimney and chimney connector. Review the proper
clearance measurements from combustible surfaces. You
can safely reduce required clearances in most cases with a
special connector pipe and special wall coverings as
specified by this manual, the NFPA 211 codes, and 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.
Locate the stove centrally in your living area to allow the
heat to travel naturally to distant rooms. We recommend
that you do not locate your stove in an uninsulated
basement. The amount of radiant energy required to heat
concrete basement walls is so great that most of the usable
heat is absorbed by them and lost.
