LOCATING STOVE continued… Failure to follow these minimum clearance requirements may result in an unsafe installation and could cause a fire. 8. This stove is NOT a UL listed stove. CAUTION: KEEP FURNISHINGS AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE STOVE. WARNING: DO NOT USE SINGLE WALL CONNECTOR PIPE AS A CHIMNEY - A HOUSE FIRE COULD RESULT.
CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION NOTE: CONNECTOR PIPE IS NOT INCLUDED. TO PURCHASE, VISIT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE, HOME, OR BUILDING CENTER. SEE “LOCATING STOVE” PAGE 6 & 7 FOR ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS. Connector pipe is used to make the connection from the final positioning of your stove to an approved chimney. Connector pipe is NOT included as part of the stove. Connector pipe must be 6˝/152mm diameter minimum of 24 MSG (minimum standard gauge) black or 26 MSG blue steel stove pipe.
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS The stove must be connected to either a lined masonry or manufactured metal chimney built and tested to the specifications listed on the previous pages. Chimneys perform two functions: 1). As a means of exhausting smoke and flue gases which are the result of fuel combustion. 2). The chimney (only) provides “draft” which allows oxygen to be continuously introduced into the appliance, so that proper combustion is possible. This stove relies on natural draft to operate.
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS continued … MANUFACTURED CHIMNEY Figure 7 - Chimney Construction Through Roof Chimney Minimum Height Requirements: (1) Overall Height – 11 ft./3.35m min. (2) Height above roof – 3 ft./91cm (3) Height above slope – 2 ft./61cm min. within 10 ft./3.05m (4) Minimum rise before horiz. section – 24 in./61cm NOTICE: If minimum chimney requirements are not met, your stove will not operate properly.
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS continued … CAUTION: NOT ALL FIREPLACE CHIMNEYS ARE SUITABLE FOR CONVERSION TO ACCOMMODATE CONNECTION TO A WOOD STOVE. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED EXPERT. Many prefabricated fireplaces are of the “zeroclearance fireplace” category. These consist of multi layered metal construction. They are designed with enough insulation and/or air cooling on the base, back and sides so they can be safely installed in direct contact with combustible floors and walls.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR SYSTEMS & CLEARANCES NOTE: IN CANADA, THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM TO CAN/CSA-B365 WHEN PASSING THROUGH COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION. A. Brick Masonry Minimum 3.5˝/ 89mm thick brick masonry all framed into combustible wall with a minimum of 12˝/305mm brick separation from clay liner to combustibles. The fireclay liner shall run from outer surface of brick wall to, but not beyond, the inner surface of chimney flue liner and shall be firmly cemented in place. B.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: HOUSE FIRE HAZARDS • DO NOT STORE WOOD ON FLOOR PROTECTOR, UNDERNEATH STOVEPIPE, OR ANYWHERE WITHIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES SPECIFIED FOR THIS STOVE. • OVER FIRING MAY CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE. YOU ARE OVER FIRING IF A UNIT OR CHIMNEY CONNECTOR GLOWS RED. OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. NEVER OVER FIRE THIS STOVE BY BUILDING EXCESSIVELY HOT FIRES AS A HOUSE/ BUILDING FIRE MAY RESULT.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS continued … NOTICE - INITIAL BURNS to Cure PAINT Because of the high operating temperatures, this stove uses a special high-temp paint which requires a series of burns to cure the paint for durability and a lifetime of service. Proper curing of the high-temp paint requires a series of three initial burns. The stove should be allowed to cool off between each burn. The first two burns should be small fires and low temperatures (250°F/120°C) for a duration of 20 minutes each.
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE HINTS PREVENTING CREOSOTE BUILDUP 1. Creosote will inevitably form in your chimney and connector pipe. Following these steps will help reduce the rate of build up. 2. BURN ONLY SEASONED WOOD that has dried for at least one year. (<20% humidity by weight) 3. Burn hardwood rather than softwood. Hardwood is denser or heavier wood and burns hotter. 4. Do not attempt to burn (or mix in) green or wet wood. The use of green or wet wood will cause a rapid build up of creosote.
