Maximum burn times and heat outputs are based on laboratory testing using full loads of seasoned hardwoods, and may vary in individual use depending on how the stove is operated, type and moisture content of fuel, and other factors.
CAUTION PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS After reading these instructions, if you have any doubt about your ability to complete your installation in a professional like manner, you should obtain the services of an installer versed in all aspects as to the correct and safe installation. DO NOT use temporary, makeshift compromises during installation. BEFORE INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
CAUTION CAUTION THIS HEATER IS EXTREMELY HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. SERIOUS BURNS CAN RESULT FROM CONTACT. KEEP CHILDREN, PETS, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY Attempts to achieve higher output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result in permanent damage to the heater. The recommended wood load is level with the top of the firebricks. Overloading may prevent sufficient air entering the heater to properly fuel the fire.
UNPACKING AND ATTACHING LEGS REMOVING THE STOVE FROM THE PALLET AND ATTACHING THE LEGS ON THE SSW30(F/S)TAL Caution: Stove is extremely heavy. You will need help installing the legs and moving your stove to its final location. Please note: The fiberboard baffle is secured with two screws for shipping purposes only. These screws are located behind the rear tube and may be removed prior to use, if so desired. The legs are packed inside the stove with bolts for assembling legs to the stove.
UNPACKING AND ATTACHING LEGS 7) With rear leg installed, pivot the stove so that the hold down bracket is off the pallet. The stove should be resting the installed leg on the floor, one support bracket on the pallet and the partially loosened support bracket hanging free. Have someone steady the stove to avoid tipping. 8) Remove the remaining bolt from the hold down bracket and install front leg.
STOVE SET-UP STOVE SET-UP 1. 2. 3. Check that all brick and tubes are in place. Select the proper location for the stove. These appliances must not be installed any closer than the minimum clearance to combustible materials shown on page 11 of this manual. The stove must be installed on a non-combustible surface as shown on page 11 of this manual. Remove packing material and packing labels from glass.
STOVE SET-UP Flue Sizing The flue size for a controlled-combustion appliance should be based on the cross-sectional volume of the stove flue outlet. In this case, more is definitely not better. Hot gases lose heat through expansion; if a stove with a six-inch flue collar (28 square inch area) is vented into a 10" x 10" flue, the gases will expand to over three times their original volume. As gases cool with expansion, draft strength decreases.
CLEARANCES CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES (UL-1482 AND ULC-S627) Minimum clearances to combustible materials in inches. Note: All “A,” “C,” and “F” dimensions are to the stove pipe.

INSTALLATION WALL PASS-THRUS Whenever possible, design your installation so the connector does not pass through a combustible wall. If you must use a wall passthrough in your installation, check with your building inspector before you begin and construct it in accordance with local building codes. Also, check with the chimney connector manufacturer for any specific requirements. Accessories are available from your dealer for use as wall pass-throughs.
INSTALLATION Do not connect the heater to any air distribution duct or system. In Canada: The Canadian Standards Association has established different guidelines. Figure 11 shows one method, in which all combustible material in the wall is cut away to provide the required 18" (450 mm) clearance for the connector. The resulting space must remain empty. A flush mounted sheet metal cover may be used on one side only.
OPERATION CHIMNEY REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS Contact your local building authority for approved methods of installation 1. 2. 3. 4. This appliance requires a masonry or pre-manufactured chimney listed to ULCS629 (Canada) and UL 103 HT (USA) sized correctly. If a masonry chimney is used it is advisable to have your chimney inspected for cracks and check the general condition before you install your unit.
OPERATION You can never be too safe. Contact your local fire authority for information on what to do in the event of a chimney fire, and have a clearly understood plan on how to handle one. OPERATION Do not use a grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on firebrick. When the stove is used for the first time the solvents in the paint will smoke off. Wood This heater is designed to burn natural wood only.
OPERATION INSTRUCTION FOR FIRST BURN – CURING THE STOVE PAINT Your stove has been painted with the highest quality stove paint and has special break-in procedures. The heat generated by the normal operation of the stove, will serve to harden the paint. Ventilate the house during the first three times the stove is used. The paint on the stove will give off smoke, carbon dioxide and an odor. Without adequate ventilation, concentrations of smoke could irritate, or be upsetting.
MAINTENANCE REMOVING BAFFLE: 1. Pull the cotter pin from the retaining collar on the front tube. See Detail A. 2. Tilt up the front side of the baffle and insulation. 3. Slide the tube to the right to free from the collar, tilt down and push towards the left, then pull out the tube. See Figure 15. 4. Work baffle and insulation from top of stove. NOTE: When reinstalling baffle make sure the baffle stops at the edge of center baffle plate. See Detail B. SECTION RIGHT SIDE VIEW 2. 1.
MAINTENANCE REMOVING FIREBRICK To remove firebrick, lift up from bottom and rotate outward. See Figure 14. GLASS CARE REPLACE GLASS ONLY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC AVAILABLE FROM YOUR LOCAL LEXINGTON FORGE DEALER The following use and safety tips should be observed: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Firebrick Inspect the glass regularly for cracks and breaks. If you detect a crack Figure 14: Removing Firebrick or break, extinguish the fire immediately, and contact your dealer for replacement.
MAINTENANCE CREOSOTE When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors. These combine with moisture to form creosote. Creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney should be inspected regularly during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has accumulated.

FAQS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1) What is the correct way to start a fire? a) You will need small pieces of dry wood (kindling) and paper. Use only newspaper or paper that has not been coated or had unknown materials glued or applied to it. Never use coated (typically advertising flyers) or colored paper. b) Open the door of the wood stove. c) Crumple several pieces of paper and place them in the center of the firebox and directly on to the firebricks of the wood stove (see page 6 of this manual).
FAQS 8) What is draft? Draft is the ability of the chimney to exhaust by-products produced during the normal combustion process. 9) What can cause a poor draft? The most common factors for poor draft are: a. Atmospheric pressure and air supply b. Environmental condition c. Cold chimney temperature d. Poor chimney installation and maintenance a) Atmospheric Pressure and Air Supply Atmospheric pressure affecting the draft from a chimney can be either outside the home, inside the home or both.
