KING KE 1107 Page 14 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont. COMBUSTION AIR Insure adequate combustion air allowing for all other exhausting type appliances in the dwelling (range hoods, dryers, etc.). In airtight houses it is recommended to install a fresh air inlet into the room where the stove is located, to prevent air starvation. DRAFT Draft is created by the heated air rising in the chimney system. This draft will pull fresh combustion air into the firebox. Recommended draft is .05 in. w.c.
KING KE 1107 Page 15 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont. CONNECTION TO A METAL PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed precisely. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass through and “T” section package, fire stops (when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc.
KING KE 1107 Page 16 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont. CONNECTION TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY Masonry chimney*** Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed.
KING KE 1107 Page 17 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont. MOBILE HOME (AND RESIDENTIAL ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS) Either Rear Shield OR Fan kit are required for these installations (See next page for kits and part numbers). Mobile home installations also requires the Outside Air Kit: Z1726B. They are easiest to mount before the stove is installed. See instructions packed with each kit. When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed precisely.

KING KE 1107 Page 21 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS YOUR FIRST FIRE! The following pages contain information on the major components and operation of your stove. Please take time to read about them as it will give you a better understanding of how your stove works. This understanding will help you to operate your stove properly thus will extend the life of your stove and allow you to get the highest efficiencies from your stove.
KING KE 1107 Page 22 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont. WARNING: BURNING WET UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHEN CREOSOTE IS IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE WHICH MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE. FIRST FIRE NEVER START A FIRE UNLESS ALL BRICKS ARE CORRECTLY PLACED INSIDE THE FIREBOX. CHECK THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. ALWAYS OPEN THE BYPASS DOOR BEFORE OPENING THE LOADING DOOR. ONCE THE LOADING DOOR IS CLOSED, CLOSE THE BYPASS DOOR DIRECTLY AFTER.
KING KE 1107 Page 23 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont. Always put the by-pass handle in the open, full counter clockwise, position before you open the Front Loading Door. This will decrease the chances of “spilling” smoke into the room when you open the Front Loading Door to add wood. BUT REMEMBER TO PUSH IT BACK into the closed and locked position as soon as you have loaded your wood. Congratulations. You now have the greatest, most efficient burning wood stove in full operation.
KING KE 1107 Page 24 CREOSOTE CREOSOTE — FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The 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.
KING KE 1107 Page 25 MAINTENANCE Your appliance has been manufactured in the Blaze King tradition of high quality. To ensure years of trouble free operation, have your stove serviced regularly by your Blaze King dealer. Periodically during the heating season thoroughly clean the chimney and firebox so your system is ready for next fall. Inspect all firebricks and replace any damaged bricks. A broken firebrick should be replaced to prevent warping of the firebox.
KING KE 1107 Page 26 MAINTENANCE cont. CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR, REPLACEMENT The catalytic thermometer on top of the stove should read in the active zone after the stove has been in operation for several hours. If the thermometer’s indicator needle does not stay above the 1/3 mark in the active zone, even with a hot fire, over a 7-10 day period of regular use, the combustor may need replacement. If the combustor must be examined or replaced, follow this procedure: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
KING KE 1107 Page 27 MAINTENANCE cont. GASKET INSPECTION Inspect the door and bypass door gasket for physical deterioration, missing sections or obvious leakage. The stove front should make a groove in the gasket material - one side of the groove (toward the inside) will often be dark or black, and the other side (toward the outside) should be light or white. Dark smudges on the outside of the groove may indicate a air leak.
KING KE 1107 Page 28 MAINTENANCE cont. CHIMNEY DRAFTS If you suspect a draft problem in an existing chimney, determine the draft by using a water manometer (or digital draft gauge). The draft should be measured with the stove at medium burn. After the measurement is completed, fill any holes that were made in the chimney connector by using a sheet metal screw of proper size. Recommended draft is .02 -.03 in. w.c. at medium fire.
KING KE 1107 Page 29 TROUBLESHOOTING Your Blaze King is designed to allow a wide selection of heat output levels. If you begin to lose control of the amount of heat the stove is emitting, determine the cause early so that major problems may be avoided. The six major needs of a well-controlled fire are: 1. Knowledgeable operator. 2. Adequate air supply. 3. Firewood of good quality and proper size. 4. Catalytic combustor in good condition. 5. Clean chimney, properly sized and installed. 6.
KING KE 1107 Page 30 TROUBLESHOOTING cont. PROBLEM: Too much heat. CAUSE By-Pass door left open. SOLUTION Close the by-pass door. Thermostat set too high. Lower thermostat setting.
