LOCATING STOVE 1. The stove must be placed on solid concrete, solid masonry, or when installed on a combustible floor, on an Underwriters Laboratories Listed Type 2 floor protector listed to UL standard UL 1618, such as Hy-C or Imperial Model UL3648BK (US) or UL4049BK (CAN). Floor protector must be 1/2˝/13mm minimum thickness (R value = 0.84, see page 23 for calculation formulas) non-combustible material or equivalent.
LOCATING STOVE continued… rulings. Use whichever minimum dimensions are LARGEST. Clearances listed and shown MUST be adhered to for safe operation of this appliance. CLEARANCES MAY NOT BE REDUCED BY ANY MEANS IN USA OR CANADA. 9. This stove meets U.S. Test Standard: UL 1482-2010 & Canadian Standard: ULC-S627-00. Figure 11a – Front View CAUTION: KEEP FURNISHINGS AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE STOVE.

CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION NOTE: CONNECTOR PIPE IS NOT INCLUDED. TO PURCHASE, VISIT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE, HOME, OR BUILDING CENTER. SEE “LOCATING STOVE” PAGE 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 17 - Chimney Construction through Roof Chimney Minimum Height Requirements: (1) Overall Height – 15 ft./4.6m 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. REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MAKER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE.
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS continued … CAUTION: NOT ALL FIREPLACE CHIMNEYS ARE SUITABLE FOR CONVERSION TO ACCOMMODATE 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 . . . to find that “sweet spot” where your stove performs best. The following will give you a starting point to find your optimum settings. When first loading fuel set the primary air inlet control at the wide open position for at least 15–20 minutes. When the stove is working properly you should be able to observe secondary combustion flames above the fuel pieces in front of the secondary air tubes at the top of the firebox.
OPERATING continued . . . 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. prevent gases from igniting causing smoke and flame spillage. When adding fuel be careful not to hit, bump or damage the ceramic baffle board located at the top of the firebox. Add fuel being careful not to overload or over fire the stove. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the fire. Do not build fires against glass and make sure the coal bed does not obstruct the air inlet.
SERVICE HINTS continued . . . 5. Do not attempt to extend the burn time by using wet wood. Not only does burning wet wood rapidly build up creosote, but it reduces the heat output by up to 25 percent. 6. Burn the stove with the air inlet control wide open for 10-25 minutes every time fresh wood is loaded into the stove. Do not load more than ¼ to ½ of the fuel capacity at one time. Loading too much wood at once will cause excessive smoke which contains creosote.
SERVICE HINTS continued . . . the stove or chimney starts to glow, you are over firing the stove. Masonry chimneys will take longer to warm than manufactured chimneys on account of their greater structural mass. Chimneys that have a flue diameter larger than the stove outlet take more heat to warm, thus resulting in a faster cooling of the hot gases needed to build or maintain draft. 4.
DOOR GASKET REPLACEMENT CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE A STOVE THAT IS MISSING DOOR GASKET MATERIAL. OVER FIRING AND UNSAFE OPERATING CONDITIONS MAY RESULT. PROCEDURE: 1. Ensure appliance is not in operation and is thoroughly cooled. 2. Remove old door gasket and clean channel. 3. Using an approved, high temperature gasket cement, apply a thin coat in bottom of channel. 4. Starting at hinge side of door, work gasket into channel around door unit, end butt and trim to length. 5.

FLOOR PROTECTOR MATERIAL CALCULATIONS This stove has been tested for and must be installed on a floor protector with the proper Thermal Resistance or R-value as stated in the installation instructions under “Locating Stove” section, step 1, of this manual. If the floor protector materials listed in the instructions are not available, materials with an equivalent R-value may be substituted.
This Vogelzang heating appliance is safe when installed properly and will provide you with years of service. However, always exercise good judgement when you are using this stove. You are dealing with FIRE! Fire is inherently dangerous and must be treated with respect.
