10. The paint used on your stove may give off
smoke and/or odor during the first fires. Thismay occur during the first 12 to 15 fires until
the paint has cured. After the paint has cured
this will end and not reoccur. Persons withlung conditions or owners of susceptible
domestic pets (such as birds) should takeprudent precautions. Open windows and doors
as needed to clear smoke and odor. If the stoveis overfired, paint discoloration will occur.
11. This stove has a painted surface which isdurable but it will not stand rough handlingor abuse. When installing your stove, use carein handling. Clean with soap and warm water
when stove is not hot. Do not use any acids
or scouring soap, as these solvents wear anddull the finish.
12. While stove is in operation, all persons,especially young children should be alerted tothe hazards from high surface temperatures.
Keep away from a hot stove to avoid burns
or clothing ignition. During operation, smallchildren should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room as the stove.
13. Keep stove area clear and free from all

Chimney connections
Chimneys perform two functions.
1). As a means of exhausting smoke and fluegases which are the result of fuel combustion.
2). The chimney provides “draft” which allows
oxygen to be continuously introduced into theappliance, so that proper combustion is possible.
As of April 1, 1987 all wood stoves should beinstalled using a factory built chimney that meetsthe “Type HT” requirement of UL 103 (whenusing a factory built chimney).
Note, your stove does not create draft. Draft
is a function of the chimney. A minimum of 0.05
w.c., (measured in water column) is required forproper drafting to prevent back-puffing, smoke
spillage, and to maximize performance. (Gauges tomeasure chimney draft are readily available at stove
shops and are economical to purchase or rent.)
IMPORTANT Installation Points
1. Size the chimney flue to the stove pipe.
(6” pipe = 6” chimney flue. Max. 64 sq. inches)
2. Use elbows only as necessary. Elbows
reduce draft, no more than two should be usedin any chimney run.
3. Make sure all horizontal runs of connector pipe have a minimum outward rise of 1/4” perhorizontal foot. This allows any condensation or
creosote buildup to run back into the firebox.
Masonry Chimney
Before using an existing masonry chimney,clean the chimney, inspect the flue liner and makeany repairs needed to be sure it is safe to use. Make
repairs before attaching the stove. The connector stove pipe and fittings you will need to connect directly to a masonry chimney are shown infigure 6.
If the connector stove pipe must go througha combustible wall before entering the masonrychimney, consult a qualified mason or chimney
dealer. The installation must conform to local
building and fire codes and latest edition of NFPA211.
Do not connect this stove into the samechimney flue as the fireplace, gas appliance, or aflue connected with any other stove. The chimneyused for a stove must not be used to ventilate thecellar or basement. If there is a cleanout opening
in the base of the chimney, close it tightly.

Listed Chimney
Carefully follow chimney manufacturer’s
instructions. Use only a listed chimney. If yourchimney starts at the ceiling (figures 7 & 8) you
will need enough 6” round black stove pipe to reachthe ceiling. The top of the chimney must be at least
three (3) feet above the roof and be at least two (2)feet higher than any point of the roof within ten(10) feet (figure 7 – 9).

Venting to Existing Fireplace
In some instances, people desire to convert
an existing fireplace for stove use. Usually, safe
connection to an existing masonry chimney
requires more work than using a prefabricatedchimney. The existing fireplace must be closed
and sealed at the damper with high-temperaturecaulk, ceramic wool, or furnace cement. Prior to
installation, clean and inspect the existing flue andsmoke shelf. Installation should be designed so thesystem can be dismantled for periodic cleaning
and inspection. Before conversion, make sure theexisting chimney is structurally sound, thechimney incorporates a flue liner and make sure it
is in good condition. (A flue liner consists of clay
tile that protects the brickwork of a chimney. If achimney does not have a liner, or it is damaged,
have it relined by a professional. Do Not use
a chimney that is unlined or damaged!) If you
have any question regarding the condition of thechimney, consult a qualified licensed contractor,
qualified engineer, competent mason, certified
Chimney Sweep, or a knowledgable inspector.
Consult your insurance company if you cannot finda qualified expert.
CAUTION: Not all fireplaces are suitablefor conversion to a wood stove. Check
with a qualified expert.

Many prefabricated fireplaces are of the “zeroclearance fireplace” category. These consist ofmultilayered metal construction. They are designedwith enough insulation and/or air cooling on thebase, back and sides so they can be safely installed
in direct contact with combustible floors and walls.
Although many prefabricated fireplaces carryendorsements from nationally recognized organizations for use as fireplaces, they have notbeen tested for connection to wood stove heaters.
Connecting a stove to such a device will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Steel-lined fireplaces are constructed with
1/4” firebox liner, an air chamber in connection
with 8” of masonry. These can be safely usedwith wood burning stoves. They contain all theessential components of a fireplace, firebox,
damper, throat, smoke shelf, and smoke chamber.

begins to glow or turn red.
2.		 Never build extremely large fires
in this type of stove as damage to thestove or smoke leakage may result.
3.		 Stove is HOT while in operation. Keepchildren, clothing, and Furniture awayfrom hot stove. Contact may cause
skin burns. Do not touch the stoveafter firing until it has cooled.
4.		 Provide air into the room for proper combustion.
5.		 Inspect stovepipe every 60 days.
Replace immediately if stovepipe isrusting or leaking smoke into theroom.

This stove is designed to burn

WOOD OR COAL.
Hardwood, 10” to 14” should be split and air dried(seasoned), for 6 months to obtain maximum burning
efficiency. Wood should be stored in a dry, well ventilated area.
NOTICE: Use solid Fuel materials
only. Do Not burn garbage or flammable fluids.

NOTE: For best results us when burningcoal, use solid, bituminous coal. NEVER use
manufactured coal “bricks” made of coal dust
and wax-type binder. Do not burn garbage
or flammable solids. Store coal in dry, wellventilated area.
Lighting
1. Open draft damper fully to provide maximum
draft.
2. Remove lid(s) and place several wads of crushedpaper in the firebox.
3. Lay small stacks of kindling on the paper to start
the fire.
4. Light the paper and kindling and replace the lid(s).
Make sure they are seated properly. Keep ash door
closed when stove is in use.
5. Add fuel after fire is burning briskly. Use care not tosmother the kindling fire when adding fuel. Replace
the lid(s) and make sure they are seated firmly.
6. Adjust the draft damper and spin draft
control. The more closed the spin draft is set, thelower and slower the fire will burn. The more open,
the faster and hotter the fire will burn. Do not overfire the stove.
Adding Fuel
Add small amounts of fuel each hour or so
instead of piling large quantities of fuel at one
time. This will insure a more complete combustion
process and less buildup of tars, soot, or creosote will
occur in the chimney.
1. Always open draft damper before adding fuel.
2. Always wear protective hearth gloves when adding
fuel.
3. Be careful not to smother the fire when adding fuel.

4. Make sure lid(s) is(are) replaced and fully seated.
5. Adjust the damper and slide draft control.
6. Empty ashes regularly. Do not allow ashes to pile
up higher than the top of the hearth (see Safety
Instructions #14 page 2). If ashes build up to thegrate, burnout will occur.
7. Properly dispose of hot ashes (see Safety
Instructions, item #14 on page 2.)
8. Do not over fire the stove.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER FIRE appliance.
Too much wood or burning non-recommended materials such as trash
or flammable liquids may cause overfiring. You are over firing if the chimney connectors or stove glows red.
Close the ash door, spin draft anddamper immediately to reduce the air
supply to the fire. This will slow down
the fire.
CAUTION: Slow burning fires andextended use may cause excessive creosote buildup. Ignition ofcreosote buildup or over firing may
cause a chimney fire. Chimney fires
burn extremely hot and may ignite
surrounding materials. In case of achimney fire call the fire department
immediately.

Maintenance & Service Hints
ASH DISPOSAL – Do not allow ashes
to accumulate higher than the grate. Dispose ofproperly. (See Safety Instructions #10, page 2.)
Chimney Draft – Draft is a function of thechimney, not the stove — do not expect the stove todraw. Smoke spillage into the house or excessive buildup
of condensation or creosote in the chimney are warnings
that the chimney is NOT functioning properly. Correct
the problem before using the stove. Following are somepossible causes for improper draft.
1. The connector stovepipe may be pushed into
the chimney too far, stopping the draft.
2. If the chimney temperature is too cool,water will condense in the chimney and run back into
the stove. Creosote formation will be rapid and may
block the chimney. Operate the stove at a fire level highenough to keep the chimney warm to prevent condensation from forming.
3. If the fire burns well but sometimes creates
excess smoke or burns slowly, it may be caused by thechimney top being lower than another part of the houseor a nearby tree. The wind blowing over a house or tree,
falls on top of the chimney like water over a dam, beating down the smoke. The top of the chimney should be
at least three (3) feet above the roof and be at least two(2) feet higher than any point of the roof within ten (10)feet.
CREOSOTE – Formation and Removal.
Slow-burning wood produces tar and other organic
VGZ-004 / 20110524.0

vapors which combine with expelled moisture toform creosote. Creosote vapors condense in therelatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on
the flue lining. If ignited, this creosote creates anextremely hot fire which may ignite surrounding materials resulting in a building fire.
If creosote has accumulated, it should be
removed. Failure to remove creosote may result in ignition and may cause a house/building fire. Creosote may
be removed using a chimney brush or other commonly
available materials from your local hardware retailer.
Chimney Inspections – The chimney
connector and chimney should be inspected at the
beginning of and at least twice a month during theheating season to determine if a creosote buildup has
occurred.
Chimney fires burn very hot. If the chimney
connector should glow red, reduce the fire byclosing the damper and spin draft control and
immediately call the fire department.
CAUTION: A chimney fire may cause
ignition of wall studs or rafters
which were assumed to be a safe
distance from the chimney. If achimney fire has occurred, haveyour chimney inspected by a qualified expert before using again.

Maintenance & Service continued …
A fire in the stove may be smothered bypouring a large quantity of coarse salt, baking soda, or
cool ashes on top of the fire.

Stove Joints – Required Tune-up.
This stove is manufactured with cast ironcomponents. It does not have weldedseams. Periodic “tune up” may be required byrefilling and/or replacing the cement/joint mortar
along the seams where the cast iron components
meet.
