Check the interior of the firebox (replace cracked firebrick and make sure baffle is in place).
The stove can be lightened by removing the firebricks and baffle. - see page 27.

Stove Installation Considerations
The table below details the six most common types of installations and the considerations for each
type. Alternative methods of installation are available if they comply with local building codes.
Installation TypeConsiderations

Standard Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney(Page 14)

• Requires ceiling and roof penetration

Cathedral Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney(Page 14)

• Cathedral style chimney support required

Exterior Factory Built Chimney(Page 15)

• Uses two elbows to route chimney outside• Provides best draft• Provides best draft• Exterior chimney is hidden from the room
• Elbows reduce draft• Optional exterior chase reduces cold air blockage

Hearth Stove Positive Connection(Page 15)

• Utilizes existing masonry or zero clearance (metal) chimney• Provides good draft due to full reline• Easier to clean than direct or horizontal hearth stove

Hearth Stove Direct Connection(Page 16)

• Utilizes existing masonry or zero clearance (metal) chimney• Requires construction of a "block-off plate"• Draft reduced due to elbows & chimney cross section

Hearth Stove Horizontal Connection(Page 16)

• Utilizes existing masonry chimney (not approved for zeroclearance (metal) fireplaces)• Draft is good because of vertical section above stove

2 to 4 hours

This heater uses a heat-activated paint thatwill emit some fumes while starting the first
fire. Open doors and windows to the room tovent these fumes. This typically lasts two tofour hours. You may also notice oil burning offof the interior of the heater. This rust-stopping
agent will soon dissipate.

Over-Firing the Stove

This stove was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in ventconfiguration, fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If thestove 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.

Starting a Fire
Since the dawn of time man has debated the best way to start a fire. Some use the boy-scout "teepee", some prefer the "tic-tac-toe" stack. Either way, review the hints and warnings below to ensure
proper fire starting.
•Make sure the air control is pushed in. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4" during the first
five minutes of start-up.

N e v e r use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to startor "freshen up" a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.
If using a firestarter, use only products specifically designed for stoves - follow the manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of newspaper, place it in the center of thegrate and light it. This should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air blockage").
Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a proper temperature. Once the kindling is burning
rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire.

wish to let the stove burn for 10 minutes to gauge performance.

Ash Removal

ASHES

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. Ashes should be retained in the closed container until allcinders have thoroughly cooled.

Why Dry Wood is Key
Wet wood, when burned, must release water stored within the wood. This cools the fire, createscreosote, and hampers a complete burn. Ask any experienced wood burner and he or she will agree:
dry wood is crucial to good performance.

Wood Cutting and Storage
Cut wood to length andchop into quarters.

Store the wood off the ground in acovered area. Allow for airflow
around the wood to dry the wood.

Troubleshooting
ProblemPossible Cause

Smoke Enters RoomDuring Start-Up•

Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper toestablish a draft.

•

Close the doors - if the flame is not getting enough air,first make sure the air control is open (all the way in).
If additional air is needed, a small crack in the door is
all that is needed.

•

Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper toestablish a draft.

•

Not enough starter paper - use additional newspaper ifnecessary.

•

Not enough air - first make sure the air control is open(all the way in). If additional air is needed, a small
crack in the door is all that is needed.

•

Let the air stabilize before fully opening the door. Push
the air control in before opening the door. Then open
the door approximately 1 inch. Let air go into thefirebox for a few seconds. Once the smoke appears to
be flowing up the chimney consistently, open the door.

•

Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside
conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases asmall amount of smoke may enter the home. Adding
more pipe or a draft-inducing cap may help.

•

Wood is Wet - see the section "Selecting Wood" onpage 21 for details on wood.

•

Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside
conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases
the fire may burn slowly. Adding more pipe or a draftinducing cap may help.

•

Air Control is Not Wide Open - Make sure the aircontrol is all the way in. Slide the control back andforth to insure the control is not stuck.

•

Stove is Not Up to Temperature - This is normal. The
blower will come on when the stove is hot - usually 15
to 30 minutes.

•

Electricity is Cut to the Blower - Check the household
breaker or fuse to make sure it is operable.

•

This appliance burns for up to 8 hours. Depending
upon wood, draft, and other factors, the burn time may
be shorter. Make sure the doors are sealing and notallowing air into the firebox - See the section "Door andGlass Inspection" on page 24 for details.

•

Check the ash bed for coals. Often, coals are still
glowing under a slight bed of flyash. By raking these
into a pile you can re-start your stove quickly.

Maintaining Your Appliance23

Failure to properly maintain and inspect your appliance may reduce the performance and life of theappliance, void your warranty, and create a fire hazard.

Daily Maintenance (while stove is in use)
Remove Ash (if necessary)
Ash removal is n o t required once it builds up. 1/2" to 1" of ash may be desirable because it slows theburn rate. Generally, remove ash once it has built up over 1". Follow the directions below to removeash.
1

Let the stove cool completely (at least two hours after the last coal has extinguished).

2

Place a cloth or cardboard protector over the hearth to catch ash and protect against
scratching.

3

Open the doors and scoop the ash into a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

ASHES

Improperly disposed ashes lead to fires. Hot ashes placed in cardboard boxes, dumped in back yards,
or stored in garages, are recipes for disaster.
Wood-burning stoves are inherently dirty. During cleaning have a vacuum ready to catch spilled ash(make sure ash is entirely extinguished).
There are vacuum cleaners specifically made to remove ash (even if the ash is warm). Contact yourdealer for details.

Clean the Glass (if necessary)
This appliance has an airwash to keep the glass clean. However, burning un-seasoned wood orburning on lower burn rates leads to dirtier glass (especially on the sides). Clean the glass byfollowing the directions below.
Allow the stove to fully cool. Apply glasscleaner or soapy water to the inside of
the glass. Wipe with newspaper or apaper towel.

A
A
For Stubborn Creosote:Dip newspaper or a paper towel in coolashes and wipe it on the glass. The ash
acts as a light abrasive.

AAA
The glass will develop a very slight haze over time. This is normal and will not affect viewing of the fire.

Washers

Door Handle

To tighten the door cam, remove the door handle and discard one of the washers
betwen the door frame and cam. To loosen the door cam, add a washer between
the door frame and cam.

Check for Creosote Buildup
Creosote buildup should be checked monthly during the heating season. Either look down the chimney
from the top or remove a chimney connector section. Any more than 1/4" of buildup requires chimney
cleaning. Creosote develops quickest when burning at a low temperature or when burning unseasoned wood. When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other vapors which combine withmoisture to form creosote. Creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue and creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
If you are not certain of creosote inspection, contact your dealer or local chimney sweep for a fullinspection. Excess creosote buildup may cause a chimney fire, that may result in property damage,injury, or death.

Yearly Maintenance
Make sure the appliance has fully cooled prior to conducting service.

Touch Up Paint
Included with the owner's pack of this appliance is a can of Stove-Brite®
paint. To touch up nicks or dulled paint, apply the paint while theappliance is cool. Sand rusted or damaged areas before preparation (use
120 grit sandpaper). Clean and dry the area to prepare the surface. Wait
at least one hour before starting the appliance. The touched up area willappear darker than the surrounding paint until it cures from heat. Curing
will give off some fumes while curing – open windows to ventilate.
