Additional Safety Guidelines



CAUTION:Whenaddingfueltothestove,theblowermustbeturnedOFF.



•

Theinstallationofsmokedetectorsishighlyrecommendedwheninstallingthisoranyothersolid

fuelburningappliance. Smokedetectorsshouldbelocatednearorineveryroomofthehome,

particularlysleepingrooms.



•

Asmokedetectorcanbeinstalledinthesameroomasthiscordwoodburningunit;installingthe

smokedetectortooclosetotheunitcanleadtonuisancealarmsduetoslightwispsofsmokeemitted

duringthefirestartingorreloadingprocess. Duetothis,thesmokedetectorin

the

sameroomastheunitwillbemostusefulifitislocatedas farfromtheunitastheroomwill

permit.



•

Thisstoveisdesignedtoburnnaturalwoodonly.Higherefficienciesandloweremissionsgenerally

resultwhenburningairdried,seasonedhardwoods,ascomparedtosoftwoodsortogreenor

freshly‐cuthardwoods.DONOTBURNgarbage,lawnclippingsoryardwaste,materialscontaining

rubber,includingtires;Materialscont aining

plastic:Wasterpetr oleumproducts,paintsorpaint

thinners,orasphaltprod ucts; Materialscontainingasbestos;Constructionor demolitiondebris;

Railroadtiesorpressure‐treatedwood;Manureoranimalremai ns;Saltwaterdriftwoodor

previouslysaltwatersatu ratedmaterials;Paperproducts,cardboard,plywood,orparticleboard.

Theprohibitionagainstburningthesematerialsdoesnot

prohibittheuseoffirestartersmade

frompaper,cardboard, sawdust,waxandsimilarsubstancesforthepurposeofstartingafirein

anaffectedwood heater.Burningthesematerialsmayresultinreleaseoftoxicfumesorrender

theheaterin effectiveandcausesmoke.



•

Burningfuelsotherthancordwood,particularlycoalandcharcoal,canresultinhazardous

concentrationsofcarbonmonoxidebeingemittedintothedwelling. Forthesereasons,NEVER

burncoalorcharcoalinthiscordwoodstove.Installingacarbonmonoxidedetectorandbeing

awareofthesymptomsofcarbonmonoxidepoisoning can

helpreducetheriskofcarbonmonoxide

relatedissues. 



•

Thisunitwasdesignedforoperationonlywiththeloadingdoorclosedandtightlylatched.

Operatingthisunitwiththeloadingdoorlatchedlooselyoropenwillallowexcessivecombustionair

toreachthefireandwillresultindangerouslyhighunittemperatures. Highunittemperaturescan

damagetheunit,

voidthewarrantyorignitecreosotedepositedinthechimneysystembyprevious,

slowburningfires.



•

Thenaturaldraftthatpullsairthroughthisunitandallowsthefiretoburnusestheindoorairofthe

dwellingforcombustion,unlesstheunitisconnectedtoanoutsidecombustionairsource.Kitchen

rangeventhoods,furnacesandotherairmovementappliancesinthehomeareoften

alsoremoving

airfromthedwelling;iftheamountofairfiltrationorleakagebackintothehomeisexceededbythe

airbeingremoved,negativepressure maybecreatedinthehome.



•

Sincethisisanaturaldraftappliance,itwilloftenbethefirstappliancetohaveproblemsrelatedto

negativepressure. Ifsmokeisforcedoutthechimneyconnectorjointsoroutoftheairinduction

systemoftheunit,theunitislikelyfightingnegativepressureinthedwelling.

Crackingawindowordoorneartheappliancecanhelpequalizethenegativepressure;

ultimately,anunrestrictedsourceofoutsidecombustionmaybenecessaryforproperunit

DONOTSTOREFUELCLOSERTHANSPECIFIEDCLEARANCESTOCOMBUSTIBLESOR
