SAFETY NOTICE
In the unlikely event that your heater “overfi res” ( a condition evidenced by elbows, stovepipes, and connectors glow-
ing red in appearance or otherwise discoloring), then your installation is subject to excessive draft created by either a
chimney too tall or too great in diameter in conjunction with its height, or some other factor of an indeterminate cause.
In this event, you should install a barometric draft regulator. Such installation will preclude any overfi ring and/or any
hazardous consequences of potential overfi ring.
Barometric Draft Regulators are generally available where you purchased your stove or may be ordered directly from
United States Stove Company at a nominal charge.
