4. The listed chimney package, with spark arrester, must

be attached directly to the stove.

5. The stove must be place on a noncombustible hearth

extension pad.

6. Overall height of mobile solid fuel heater and its chim-

Locate the stove considering both oor and ceiling con-

struction. Outside air intake vent must pass through the

oor or wall. The chimney must pass through the ceiling.

Both must be done without interrupting structural forms.

Refer to outside air installation instructions supplied with

the kit. The rst section of connector pipe must be fas-

tened to the stove with three (3) sheet metal screws.

A source of fresh air must be provided into the room. Your

stove has been designed to burn clean and efciently.

Failure to operate as instructed in this manual will result

in poor combustion with subsequent smoking, creosote

build up and unsatisfactory heat production. Do not store

combustible materials within 48” (1.2 m) of the stove. This

stove is designed to operate with the doors closed only.

An optional kit is available for installations utilizing outside

combustion air. Order the outside air kit and follow the

directions for installation.

Some older masonry chimneys have ue areas of 8” x

12”, 12” x 12” or as large as 16” x 16” and are probably

unlined. These chimneys would take more than 2 hours

to warm up and may smoke frequently (this is not a stove

problem). The solution would be to reduce the area by

relining it with an approved chimney liner or replacing the

chimney.

Regulations specify the chimney must extend 2’ (610 mm)

above a 10’ (3 m) radius of the top of the chimney.

Do not use a grate or elevate re. Build wood re directly

on hearth. When the stove is used for the rst time the

solvents in the paint will smoke off.



This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. High-

er efciency and lower emissions generally result when

burning air dried seasoned hardwood, as compared to

softwood or to green or freshly cut hardwood.

Only use dry seasoned wood. Green wood, besides

burning at only 60 percent of the fuel value of dry wood,

deposits creosote on the inside of your stove and along

the chimney. This can cause an extreme danger of chim-

ney re. To be called “seasoned”, wood must be dried

for a year. Regardless of whether the wood is green or

seasoned, it should be stored in a well-sheltered, venti-

lated area to allow proper drying during the year to come.

Wood should be stored beyond recommended clearance

from combustibles.

Your stove has been painted with the highest quality stove

paint and has special break-in procedures. The heat gen-

erated by the normal operation of the stove, will serve to

harden the paint.

Ventilate the house during the rst three times the stove

is used. The paint on the stove will give off smoke, carbon

dioxide and an odor. Without adequate ventilation, con-

centrations of smoke could irritate you or cause damage

to person and/or property. Open doors and windows and

use a fan if necessary. After the initial burns the paint will

be cured and there should be no more smoke.

Each of the initial burns should be conducted as follows:

1. The rst and second burns should be approximately

250° F (120° C) for approximately 20 minutes.

2. The third burn should be between 500° F (260 to 370°

C) for at least 45 minutes. The important fact is the

paint should be cured slowly. Avoid hot res during the

curing process.

During the curing process the paint will be gummy. Once

cured the paint will remain hard.

It is normal to see at spots on painted surfaces of the

stove. The at spots on the paint surface indicate the hot-

ter surfaces of the stove, and is caused by the heat ra-

diating through the paint. It is also expected that shiny

spots caused by friction from the packaging materials, will

disappear during the curing of the stove.
