NFORMATION
Read and understand this Owner's Manual
thoroughly before installing and using this
stove.
Make sure to install your stove:
According to the manufacturer's recommendations
In accordance with all applicable codes
With the proper sized chimney
When using your stove:
Warn children and others of the danger of touching
hot, radiating surfaces of your woodstove. For your
additional safety, you can purchase hearth and stove
guards through your local dealer.
Burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower
emissions result when burning air-dried, seasoned
wood, as compared to green or freshly cut wood.
Manufactured wood products may contain adhesives,
bonding agents, and coatings that can produce
dangerous burning conditions and hazardous fumes.
Use caution when loading firewood into a hot stove.
Keep the front and side doors closed and secured at
all times except when loading wood or using the spark
screen.
Keep the ash pan tray fully inserted and the ash
compartment door tightly closed.
Inspect the stovepipe, chimney connector and
chimney, as recommended.
Follow these safety precautions:
Never modify this stove in any way.
Never burn kiln dried, manufactured, painted, or
treated wood in this stove.
Never burn coal in this stove.
Never burn garbage or trash, colored or glossy paper,
solvents, plywood, artificial logs, cardboard, or
driftwood, in this stove.
Never use gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid,
or other flammable fluids to start or invigorate the fire.
These fuels will cause dangerous burning conditions
in the stove. Keep all such materials away from the
stove.
Never use the stove if the ash pan compartment door
is open, damaged, not present, or does not fully seal.
Never use a wood grate or other device to elevate the
fire.
Never allow logs in the firebox to contact the glass
when the door is closed. Logs touching the glass as
they settle during burning is okay.
Never slam the door or use the door to force wood in
to the stove.
Never over-fire your stove. (See page 21)
Never put articles of clothing or candles on a hot
stove.
Never connect the stove to a flue used by another
appliance.
Other safety guidelines
Keep all combustible items such as furniture, drapes,
clothing, and other items, at least 36" (0.92 m) from
the stove (See page 9)
Install a smoke detector, preferably in an area away
from your wood stove in accordance with its
manufacturer’s instructions.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy. We recommend the
type rated "A B C."
Dispose of ashes properly. (See page 22)
Keep children and pets away from the stove when it is
burning; serious injury can result from touching a hot
stove.
Clean your chimney system as needed. (See page
24)
