Installation And Operation
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! READ THESE RULES AND THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
1. Check local codes. The installation must comply
with their rulings. Do not install this heater in a
mobile home or trailer.
2. Always connect this heater to a chimney or vent
to the outside. Never vent to another room or
inside a building.
3. Do not connect this heater to an aluminum Type
B gas vent. This is not safe and is prohibited by
all codes. This heater requires connection to
approved chimneys: Either a chimney complying
with the requirements for Type HT chimneys in the
Standard for Chimneys. Factory Built, Residential
Type and Building Heating Appliance, UL 103, or
a code approved masonry chimney with a flue
liner, preferably round. A larger masonry flue may
be used, so long as the flue-section diameter is not
greater than 50 sq. in.
4. The chimney portion (whether factor-built or
masonry) must be tall enough to provide sufficient
draft and safe exit of smoke and combustion
products.
5. Be sure that your Chimney is safely constructed
and in good repair. Have the chimney inspected
by the Fire Department or a qualified inspector
(such as a Chimney sweep). Your insurance
company may be able to recommend a qualified
inspector.
6. Inspect chimney connector and chimney twice
monthly during the heating season for any deposit
of creosote or soot which must be removed.
7. Provide air for combustion from outside the house
into the room where the heater is located. If the
intake is not in the same room, air must have free
access to the room.
8. CAST IRON PARTS MUST BE “SEASONED” TO AVOID
CRACKING. BUILD ONLY SMALL FIRES ON FIRST USE.
9. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use this
heater who is unfamiliar with the correct operation
of the heater. Do not allow children to use or in
any way operate this heater. Caution: do not
touch the heater until it has cooled. Always wear
gloves when refueling this unit or working with
metal cabinet parts.
10. Keep the ash pit section free of excess ashes. Do
not allow ashes to stack higher than the sides of
the ash pan. Never allow the ashes to contact the
grate.
11. CAUTION: The special paints used on your heater
may give off some smoke while they are curing
during first few fires. Build small fires at first. The
metal used in construction of the heater has a
light coating of oil. This could give off smoke and/
or odors when heater is used for the first couple of
times. This should disappear after a short period.
Once this burn-off has occurred, it should not
reoccur.
12. CARING FOR PAINTED PARTS- This heater has a
painted outside jacket, which is durable but will
not stand rough handling or abuse. When installing
your heater, use care in handling. Clean with soap
and warm water when heater is not hot. DO NOT
use any harsh chemicals (acids or caustics) or
scouring powder, as these wear and dull the finish.
13. KEEP THE FEED DOOR, ASH DOOR AND CABINET
DOOR CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHILE TENDING
THE HEATER. KEEP SEALS IN GOOD CONDITION. DO
NOT OVERFIRE THE HEATER. THIS WILL HAPPEN IF THE
FEED DOOR, OR PARTICULARLY THE ASH DOOR, IS
LEFT OPEN DURING OPERATION. UNDER EXTREME
CONDITIONS THIS CAN PRODUCE DANGEROUS
RESULTS. AT A MINIMUM, IT WILL ALLOW THE PAINT
TO DISCOLOR.
14. DO NOT USE the coal bricks that are manufactured
from coal dust and a wax-type binder.
15. Use smoke detectors in the room where your
heater is installed. We recommend installing smoke
detectors in your home if not already installed.
16. DO NOT connect this heater to any air distribution
duct or system.
17. Never use make-shift compromises during the
installation.
18. For further information on using your heater safely,
obtain a copy of the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) publication “Using Coal and
Wood Stoves Safely” NFPA No. HS-10-1978. The
address of the NFPA is Battery March Park, Quincy,
MA. 02269.
