Safety Notice 

 

If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation 
directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection 
requirements in your area.

 

 

Read and follow all of the warnings on pages 4 and 5 of this manual. 

Before Your First Fire 

Verify the Installation 

Before starting the stove, verify that the stove is properly installed and all of the requirements in this 
manual have been followed. 

 

Keep all flammable materials 36" away from the front of the stove (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc.).

 

Curing the Paint 

Follow the steps below to cure the paint (first fire): 

a) Open doors and windows in the room to ventilate the heater during the 

curing process. 

b) Vacate the room.  The fumes from the initial heating process are non-toxic 

but may be unpleasant. 

c) Slowly bring the heater to a medium burn (400°F/204°C) for 45 minutes.  

Then increase the burn temperature to a hot burn (600°F/315°C) for an 
additional 45 minutes.  This will cure the paint. 

Door Gasket

 - The door gasket can adhere to the paint on the front of the 

heater.  To prevent this, carefully open and close the door a few times during 
the paint curing process. 

 

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Emissions 

Smoke from wood heaters contain CO.  This gas is an indication of incomplete combustion and is 
detrimental to the environment and to your health. The more visible the smoke, the higher the CO levels. 
Burning dry wood is the most significant step you can take to reduce CO emissions. It is also important to 
understand the combustion process so you can burn your heater efficiently. Read the manual thoroughly 
so that you can operate your heater in the most efficient and clean manner possible. 

Over-Firing the Stove 

DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: 

Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design 

specifications can result in permanent damage to the heater.   

This stove was designed to operate at a high temperature.  But due to differences in vent configuration, 
fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature.  If the stove top or other area 
starts to glow red, you are over-firing the stove. Shut the air control down to low and allow the stove to 
cool before proceeding. 

 

Over-firing may lead to damage of plated surfaces.  If any portion of the heater glows red, it is 

considered over-firing and will void the warranty.
