Introduction
Congratulations! You have just invested in a most
unique wood burning stove – the Phoenix Wood
Burning Stove from Hearthstone Quality Home
Heating Products Inc®. The Phoenix Model 8612 is
a clean burning EPA certified, non-catalytic wood-
burning stove. With a 2.30 cubic foot firebox
capacity, and only 2.4 grams per hour particulates
emission, you can be proud to join the Hearthstone
family with our Phoenix Cast & Stone Wood
Burning Stove. The generous depth of the firebox,
and large door, allows for loading wood up to 21
inches long!
Your purchase ensures you many years of clean,
comfortable heat with minimal maintenance. You
receive the benefits of the most advanced
technology in wood burning without the cost and
maintenance requirements of a catalytic stove. The
Phoenix blends modern technology with the unique
beauty and heating qualities of soapstone, long
known for its even heat transmission, and long
heat-retaining ability. 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 is useful
to you now, and for 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 if
possible 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 to the home.
SAFETY NOTICE: A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT IF
THIS STOVE IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY. FOR
YOUR SAFETY, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL
BUILDING, OR FIRE OFFICIALS, ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION
IN YOUR AREA.
The performance of your stove depends on many
variables. Since all installations are unique, the
general information and operating procedures
presented here can only serve as useful guidelines
rather than
hard and fast rules. Should you have any
questions, do not hesitate to contact your dealer for
additional information.
