Keep the manual available for future reference. The manual
is an important part of your stove. If your stove is sold, deliver
the manual to the new owner along with the stove.
The quality of the installation (especially the chimney connector
and chimney), and the quality of the fuel being burned will
affect the performance of your stove, but the most important
factor is the way you operate the stove. With the help of this
manual, you will learn how to effectively heat and cook with
your stove. Be sure to read it entirely, including the terms of
reference and function.
In addition, your own experience will help you to learn the
role that the chimney plays in stove performance. The
Artisan has been tested and is listed by Warnock Hersey.
The test standards are ULC S-627for Canada and UL
1482 for U.S.
The Artisan is listed for burning wood only. Do not burn
other materials or garbage. The Artisan is not listed for
installation in mobile homes. Do not install the stove in

maintained, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow
all installation, operation and maintenance directions.

(“Makeshift” compromises in the installation may result
in hazardous conditions, including a house fire.)

distribution ductwork. This stove is not approved for such

Getting Acquainted
The Artisan stove is a time proven heating and cooking
appliance. Take your time to acquaint yourself with the
principles on which your new stove operates as a heater
and a cooking stove.
Familiarizing yourself with the primary principles of the air
intake controls, the oven damper, the flame path for the
fire and the relationship to the chimney will give you a very
comprehensive understanding of what you are trying to
accomplish with the stove.
