susceptible domestic pets (such as birds) should take
prudent precautions. Open windows and doors as
needed to clear smoke and/or odor. Paint discolor-
ation will occur if the stove is over fired.
19. This stove has a painted surface which is durable
but it will not stand rough handling or abuse. Use
care when installing your stove. After a period of
use the firebox walls may become distorted. A slight
distortion will not affect stove operation.
20. CLEAN STOVE FREQUENTLY as soot, creosote
and ash may accumulate. Clean exterior with soap
and warm water when stove is not hot. Do not use
any acids or scouring soap, as these solvents wear
and dull the finish.
21. ALERT ALL PERSONS TO THE HAZARDS OF
HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURES while stove is
in operation – especially young children. Keep away
from a hot stove to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
22. NEVER LEAVE SMALL CHILDREN UNSUPER-
VISED WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM
AS THE STOVE. If small children will be in the
same room as the stove during operation, provide
a sturdy barrier to keep them at a safe distance
from the stove.
23. Keep stove area clear and free from all combustible
materials, gasoline, engine oil, naphtha and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
24. WHILE TENDING THE FIRE ALWAYS WEAR
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, fire retardant hearth
gloves and eye protection, to prevent burns.
25. NEVER OPERATE THIS STOVE WITHOUT ASH
DRAWER, ASH CLEAN OUT OR WITH THE
DOOR OPEN except when re-fueling. Such actions
can result in very dangerous operating conditions.
26. DO NOT OVER FIRE THE STOVE. Over firing
will occur if combustion air is uncontrolled as when
feed door is left open during operation. Such actions
can result in very dangerous operating conditions.
While in operation, keep the feed door closed and
secured at all times except while tending the fire
27. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the fire.
Do not build fires against glass and do not load fuel
to a height or in such a manner that it creates a
hazard when opening the door.
28. NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED with
door open. Always close the door after ignition.
29. DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNC-
TION WITH ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT
WORK UNLESS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED
FOR SUCH INSTALLATIONS.
30. A WOOD-BURNING STOVE MUST NEVER BE
INSTALLED IN A HALLWAY OR NEAR A STAIR-
CASE, as it may block egress in the event of a fire.
31. DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
DO NOT INSTALL IN AN ALCOVE OR INSIDE A
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS continued…
FIREPLACE.
32. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor
of your home. Detectors should be located away
from the heating appliance to avoid false alarms.
Detectors should be located close to sleeping areas.
Follow the smoke detectors manufacturer’s place-
ment and installation instructions. Maintain smoke
detector per manufacturer’s instructions.
33. CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) HAZARD. A buildup
of CO fumes is toxic and can be fatal. Carbon
Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced
during combustion of wood, coal, oil, gas and by
other fuel burning appliances. It is important to
have a proper draft and adequate replacement air
ventilation so fumes are drawn out the chimney.
Installed as instructed this stove is designed to
be as safe as possible yet it is recommended to
install a CO detector. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for proper installation and use.
It is recommended to be placed at table-top level
(not near the ceiling) to avoid false alarms. Realize
that devices other than a stove (i.e. motor exhaust)
can trigger CO alarms.
If alarm sounds:
• Recognize the symptoms of CO poisoning (head-
aches, nausea & drowsiness).
• Increase ventilation (open windows & doors).
• Make sure stove doors and/or lids are closed and
secured.
• Check stove for smoking or puffing (open airflow
controls).
• Check chimney & connector pipe for leaks, block-
age or down-draft conditions.
• Check CO device for false alarm.
34. All power cords and electrical appliances and/or
assemblies must be kept outside of the clearance
area shown in this manual for combustible materials.
35. Consult your municipal building department or fire
officials about restrictions, permits and installation
requirements for your area.
