Ashby-P Insert
29
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A different type of heater.
FOLLOW THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY AS
STATED TO ENSURE SAFE AND RELIABLE OPERATION.
1. Carefully read this “Operation and Maintenance” manual in its entirety BEFORE lighting
your Insert for the first time.
2. Obtain final inspection and approval of installation from local building officials.
3. Have your dealer demonstrate all the operational and maintenance steps necessary for proper use of
the Ashby.
Sign and return the warranty card
to the address listed on the back page.
4. Some odors may be given off during the first few hours of burning during initial break-in. These
odors are normal and not harmful. However, ventilating the room until the odors disappear is
recommended.
5. The Ashby will become HOT while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away from
all hot surfaces.
WARNING:
Direct contact with the firebox during operation may cause skin burns.
6. To avoid the possibility of smoke and/or sparks entering the room always keep firebox and ash pan
doors closed whenever the Insert is operating.
7. A certain amount of carbon monoxide may be produced within the Insert as a by-product of
combustion. All exhaust vent connections must be sealed with
RTV silicone
to assure a gas tight seal.
Any leaks into a confined area caused by faulty installation or improper operation of the Ashby
could produce dizziness, nausea and in extreme cases, death.
8. Under certain circumstances an outside source of combustion air may be needed and is required on
all mobile home installations. If room air is used to supply combustion air, room air starvation,
operation of exhaust fans and icing of air vents can adversely affect proper operation.
9. Smoke detectors, installed in the same general area as the Ashby, may be activated if the insert door
is left open and smoke is allowed to enter the area.
CAUTION: NEVER ADD FIRE STARTER TO A HOT STOVE.
CAUTION - Hot Surfaces
- Keep Children away.
- Do not touch during Operation.
