IMPORTANT:
DO NOT USE THE HEATER UNTIL A
PROFESSIONAL INSPECTION HAS BEEN MADE
OF THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION BY YOUR
LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT, FIRE MARSHAL
OR BUILDING CODE INSPECTOR. INSTALL
A SMOKE DETECTOR ON EACH FLOOR OF
YOUR HOME; IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL FIRE
FROM ANY CAUSE IT CAN PROVIDE TIME FOR
ESCAPE.
This heater must be operated as outlined in this
manual or a serious re may occur. THE PAINT
ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE FIREBOX WILL GO
THROUGH A CURING PROCESS DURING THE
FIRST FIRING OF THE HEATER AND WILL EMIT
SMOKE AND ODOR. BE PREPARED FOR THIS BY
RAISING A WINDOW OR OPENING A DOOR TO
PROVIDE VENTILATION. The rst three times the
heater is red, the re should be regulated so as to
increase in intensity gradually to allow the painted
components to cure slowly and to allow the other
components to adjust to their expanded size. Be
sure the room is adequately ventilated and the ue
unobstructed before beginning a re in the heater.
TO BUILD A FIRE
1. Set the heater’s thermostat control knob to the
“Hi” position.
2. Open the heater’s fuel feed door and place
several wadded grapefruit-size newspaper balls
on the heater’s grate. Be sure the heater’s ash
removal door is securely closed.
3. Cover the newspaper balls with dry kindling
sticks. Place the kindling sticks close enough to
one another so the ames can move easily from
one stick to the other. If the kindling is packed
too tightly, the re will suffocate, smoke and
then die out. (NOTE: Softwoods make better
kindling than hardwoods because softwoods
burn faster than the hardwoods.)
NOTE: If the heater tends to smoke when rst lit, a
draft may be induced by holding a torch of rolled-
up newspaper at the opening of the ue collar.
Occasionally, this must be done two or three times
to establish an updraft before proceeding to the
following step 4. It may also help to open a house
door or window slightly.
4. Light the wadded balls of paper in the
heater. Leave the fuel feed door slightly ajar
(approximately 1 to 2 inches) to allow plenty of
oxygen to reach the re, but DO NOT LEAVE
THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE ITS FUEL
FEED DOOR IS OPEN.
WARNING:
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL
LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START
OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.
KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
CAUTION:
RISK OF EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES AND
DAME TO UNIT-PROPER OPERATION REQUIRES
THE USE OF ONLY STOVE SIZE BITUMINOUS
OR ANTHRACITE COAL. DO NOT LOAD COAL
ABOVE CHAMBER LINERS. OPERATE WITH
FEED DOOR CLOSED. DO NOT OVERFIRE-IF
HEATER OR CHIMNEY CONNECTOR GLOWS,
YOU ARE OVERFIRING. PREVENT SOOT FIRE-
INSPECT CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AND CHIMNEY
TWICE MONTHLY AND CLEAN IF NECESSARY.
NOTICE:
REMOVE ASHES DAILY, WHEN HEATER IS
IN REGULAR USE. IF ASHES ARE ALLOWED
TO ACCUMULATE AND BUILD UP AROUND
THE GRATES, THE RESULTING LACK OF AIR
CIRCULATION CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
GRATES.
CAUTION:
KEEP ASH DOOR CLOSED DURING FIRING
OF THE HEATER TO AVOID DEVELOPING
EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES.

NEVER OPERATE THIS PRODUCT WHILE UNATTENDED
