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containing

plastic:Wasterpetroleum

products,paintsor paintthinners,orasphaltprodu c ts;Material scontainingasbestos;

Constructionordemolitiondebris;Railroadtiesorpressure‐treatedwood;Manureor

animalremains;Saltwater driftwoodorpreviouslysaltwatersaturatedmaterials;Paper

products,cardboard,plywood,orparticleboard.Theprohibi tion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ineffective

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;

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

WITHINTHESPACENEEDEDFORLOADINGTHESTO
